One 31 , when the boy was around two, the husband saw an opened medicine bottle.

The best Mother’s gift I ever received was a magnolia（木兰）tree. At first, it was a little thing, but it was mine, and I knew I would treasure it .
Magnolia trees, you see , were my mother’s favorite. We had one in the front yard of our house when I was growing up. I can still remember Mom’s pleasure in seeing it. “Oh, look!”she’d shout every year. “The magnolia tree is going to bloom（开花）.” On April 6, her birthday, the pink-and-white flowers would be all over the branches, announcing the arrival of spring.
Back then, I didn’t find the blooming of a tree to be an event worthy of celebration. But my mother had a way of appreciating the smallest things. A baby’s smile, or a call from an old friend filled her with happiness.
On the first Mother’s Day following her death six years ago, I wasn’t sure how I’d live. I felt my mother was everywhere.
That Sunday morning I awoke, wondering where my husband David had gone with our two daughters, Kira, 4, and Sophine, 9 months. As I was lying in bed, enjoying the peace, Kira suddenly burst through the bedroom door.
“Look outside, Mommy!”she said. I raised the window. Next to David was a little tree. “It’s a magnolia tree,” Kira said. “Happy Mother’s Day,”David said.
Although I don’t have my mother any longer, I have her tree. When the magnolia blooms, we admire its beauty and use it as a chance to talk about my mother and her love for flowers. These moments help keep her spirit very much alive. I’m always reminded to appreciate the small things that make life so beautiful!
51. The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to .

B.loved magnolia trees very much
C.loved her children very much
D.was determined and warm-hearted

Thailand’s giant pandas have finally produced a baby. Chiang Mai zoo director Thanapath said eight-year-old female Lin Hui gave birth to a baby panda weighing about 200 grams.
The pandas, Lin Hui and Chuang Chuang, the zoo’s star residents(居民),had shown no interest in reproducing the traditional way since they both arrived on a 10-year loan from China in 2003. The zoo workers’ efforts of artificial insemination（人工受孕）worked. The baby panda will officially belong to China but Thailand will raise it for about 24 months, Thanapath said.
Thanapath said Lin Hui is very protective of her child and won’t allow any officials to get close.“She holds the baby very carefully,”he said.“She knows how to be a mother even though she has never been one before.”The baby panda appears to be getting along well with its much larger mother.
The birth appeared on the front pages of many Thai newspapers, which carried photos of the baby which is so tiny that it can be held in the hands of a zoo keeper. Other pictures showed the mother Lin Hui gently holding her baby.Thanapath said.“It is of great happiness to see the baby panda. We are so happy that we can breed(繁殖)a panda. Every worker at the zoo is proud and I think every Thai will be proud too.”
Breeding pandas is a common practice in China, where dozens are born each year. But it is a rare thing outside of the country. Giant pandas are among the world’s most endangered animals. Nearly 1,600 pandas are believed to survive in China and about 180 are being raised in zoos worldwide.
55.According to the passage, the two pandas, Lin Hui and Chuang Chuang___________
A.are regarded as the best residents

D.will stay in Thailand for ten years
57.From Paragraph 3 we learn that Lin Hui___________.
A.doesn’t know how to protect her baby
B.allows people to touch her baby
C.loves her baby very much
D.always leaves her baby alone
58.We can infer that Lin Hui’s giving birth__________
A.set a good example to China
B.was hot news in Thailand
C.was a result of good luck
D.attracted the world’s attention

Sure, a teenager who works part-time may be learning something about responsibility, teamwork and money management. But research has shown that when teens work for 20 hours or more a week, as nearly half of US 12th graders do during the school year, the job isn’t just good practice for the future. Overworked teens give up some sleep and exercise, spend less time with their families, and cut back on their homework.
That is not even the worst of it. A 2008 report by the National Research Council and the Institute of Medicine showed that students who worked 20 hours a week had lower grades, higher dropout rates(退学率), and were less likely to go to college.
Most of these hardworking teens get jobs in the service industry, with more than half employed in restaurants and stores. A quarter of them are employed in the health-care industry, while 8% work in agriculture.
Soon, teens may not be the ones deciding how many hours a week they want to spend on part-time jobs. A labor agency has asked Congress(国会) to give the US Department of Labor instructions to limit the number of hours youngsters under age 18 work during the school year, and Congress has agreed to.

Deserts are found where there is little rainfall or where rain for a whole year falls in only a few weeks’ time. Ten inches of rain may be enough for many plants to survive if the rain is spread throughout the year. If it falls within one or two months and the rest of the year is dry, those plants may die and a desert may form.
Sand begins as tiny pieces of rock get smaller and smaller as wind and weather wear them down. Sand dunes (沙丘) are formed as winds move the sand across the desert. Bit by bit, the dunes grow over the years, always moving with the winds and changing the shape. Most of them are only a few feet tall, but they can grow to be several hundred feet high.
There is, however, much more to a desert than sand. In the deserts of the southwestern United States, cliffs (悬崖) and deep valleys were formed from thick mud that once lay beneath a sea more than millions of years ago. Over the centuries, the water dried up. Wind, sand, rain, heat and cold all wore away at the remaining rocks. The faces of the desert mountains are always changing—very, very slowly—as these forces of nature continue to work on the rock.
Most deserts have a surprising variety of life. There are plants, animals and insects that have adapted to life in the desert. During the heat of the day , a visitor may see very few signs of living things, but as the air begins to cool in the evening, the desert comes to life. As the sun begins to rise again in the sky, the desert once again becomes quiet and lonely.
67. Many plants may survive in deserts when _________.
A. the rain is spread out in a year B. the rain falls only in a few weeks
C. there is little rain in a year D. it is dry all the year round
68. Sand dunes are formed when _______.
A. sand piles up gradually B. there is plenty of rain in a year
C. the sea has dried up over the years D. pieces of rock get smaller
69. The underlined sentence in the third paragraph probably means that in a desert there is _____.
A. too much sand B. more sand than before
C. nothing except sand D. something else besides sand
70. It can be learned from the text that in a desert ________.
A. there is no rainfall throughout the yeat B. life exists in rough conditions
C. all sand dunes are a few feet high D. rocks are worn away only by wind and heat
