26、return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the days events, feelings, and impressions in my little blue diary. I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper. After all, isnt ac

27、cumulating memories a way of preserving the past?When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley, well-equipped with pens, a diary, and a camera. During the trip, I was busy recording every incident, name and place I came across. I felt proud to be spending my time

28、productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels. On my last night there, I wandered out of my tent, diary in hand. The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon, and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows. I autom

29、atically took out my pen。At that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley. All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary。Now, I only wri

30、te in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling. I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books, or observations that are particularly meaningful. I take pictures, but not very oftenonly of objects I find really beautiful. Im no longer blindly satisfied wit

31、h having something to remember when I grow old. I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future。I dont want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes. Maybe I wont have as many exact represe

32、ntations of people and places; maybe Ill forget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me. I dont live to make memoriesI just live, and the memories form themselves。51. Before the age of thirteen, the author regarded keeping a diary as a way of _。A. observing her schoo

35、resent in the futureC. to make memoriesD. to give accurate representations of itMothers and daughters go through so muchyet when was the last time a mother and daughter sat down to write a book together about it all? Perri Klass and her mother, Sheila Solomon Klass, both gifted professional writers,

36、 prove to be ideal co-writers as they examine their decades of motherhood, daughterhood, and the wonderful ways their lives have overlapped (重疊)。Perri notes with amazement how closely her own life has mirrored her mothers: both have full-time careers; both have published books, articles, and stories

37、; each has three children; they both love to read. They also love to travelin fact, they often take trips together. But in truth, the harder they look at their lives, the more they acknowledge their big differences in circumstance and basic nature。A child of the Depression (大蕭條)， Sheila was raised i

38、n Brooklyn by parents who considered education a luxury for girls. Starting with her college education, she has fought for everything shes ever accomplished. Perri, on the other hand, grew up privileged in the New Jersey suburbs of the 1960s and 1970s. For Sheila, wasting time or money is a crime, a

39、nd luxury is unthinkable while Perri enjoys the occasional small luxury, but has not been successful at trying to persuade her mother into enjoying even the tiniest thing she likes。Each writing in her own unmistakable voice, Perri and Sheila take turns exploring the joys and pains, the love and bitt

40、erness, the minor troubles and lasting respect that have always bonded them together. Sheila describes the adventure of giving birth to Perri in a tiny town in Trinidad where her husband was doing research fieldwork. Perri admits that she cant sort out all the mess in the households, even though she

41、 knows it drives her mother crazy. Together they compare thoughts on bringing up children and working, admit long-hidden sorrows, and enjoy precious memories。Looking deep into the lives they have lived separately and together, Perri and Sheila tell their mother-daughter story with honesty, humor, en

42、thusiasm, and admiration for each other. A written account in two voices, Every Mother Is a Daughter is a duet (二重奏) that produces a deep, strong sound with the experiences that all mothers and daughters will recognize。55.

43、have gone through difficult times。B. They have strong emotional ties with each other。C. They have the same joys and pains, and love and bitterness。D.

45、is book?A. In a musical form。B. Through field research。C. With unique writing skills。D. From different points of view。CWeve reached a strangesome would say unusualpoint. While fighting world hunger continues to be the matter of vital importance according to a recent report from the World Health Orga

46、nization (WHO)， more people now die from being overweight, or say, from being extremely fat, than from being underweight. Its the good life thats more likely to kill us these days。Worse, nearly l8 million children under the age of five around the world are estimated to be overweight. Whats going on?

47、We really dont have many excuses for our weight problems. The dangers of the problem have been drilled into us by public-health campaigns since 2001 and the message is getting throughup to a point。In the 1970s, Finland, for example, had the highest rate of heart disease in the world and being overwe

48、ight was its main cause. Not any more. A public-health campaign has greatly reduced the number of heart disease deaths by 80 per cent over the past three decades。Maybe that explains why the percentage of people in Finland taking diet pills doubled between 2001 and 2005, and doctors even offer surger

49、y of removing fat inside and change the shape of the body. That has become a sort of fashion. No wonder it ranks as the worlds most body-conscious country。We know what we should be doing to lose weightbut actually doing it is another matter. By far the most popular excuse is not taking enough exerci

50、se. More than half of us admit we lack willpower。Others blame good food. They say: its just too inviting and it makes them overeat. Still others lay the blame on the Americans, complaining that pounds have piled on thanks to eating too much American-style fast food。Some also blame their parentstheir

51、 genes. But unfortunately, the parents are wronged because theyre normal in shape, or rather slim。Its a similar story around the world, although people are relatively unlikely to have tried to lose weight. Parents are eager to see their kids shape up. Do as I saynot as I do。59. What is the “strange”

52、 point mentioned in the first sentence?A. The good life is a greater risk than the bad life。B. Starvation is taking more peoples lives in the world。C. WHO report shows peoples unawareness of food safety。D. Overweight issue remains unresolved despite WHOs efforts。60. Why does the author think that pe

53、ople have no excuse for being overweight?A. A lot of effective diet pills are available。B. Body image has nothing to do with good food。C. They have been made fully aware of its dangers。D. There are too many overweight people in the world。61. The example of Finland is used to illustrate _。A. the caus

54、e of heart diseaseB. the fashion of body shapingC. the effectiveness of a campaignD. the history of a body-conscious country62. Which would be the best title for the passage?A. Actions or Excuses?B. Overweight or Underweight?C. WHO in a DilemmaD. No Longer Dying of HungerDThe technology is great. Wi

55、thout it we wouldnt have been able to put a man on the moon, explore the oceans depths or eat microwave sausages. Computers have revolutionized our lives and they have the power to educate and pass on knowledge. But sometimes this power can create more problems than it solves。Every doctor has had to try their best to calm down patients whove come into their surgery waving an Internet print-out, convinced that they have some rare incurable disease, say, throat cancer. The truth is
