Several years after she graduated from college,she became part-owner of a successful interior decorating business in Manhattan.Her life became what she had dreamed about as a little girl.Become a successful business woman,and she had a handsome,wealthy boyfriend.She owned her own company near Central Park.She took skiing vacations in the winter and mountain resorts in the summer.At the age of 30,Hannah was on top of the world.
Then she underwent a routine health checkup,and her perfect world broke down.Her doctor told her that she had pancreatic(胰腺) cancer.Surgery was necessary to determine how much the cancer had spread.Hannah was operated on a week later.The surgeon suspected that cancer had spread to vital organs.Ten days later,the lab confirmed his suspicions.
Hannah's doctor said he could treat her with chemotherapy and painkillers,but it was just a matter of time before the cancer killed her.She asked how much time.He guessed that she had less than a year to live.How can this be,Hannah wondered.Doesn't this always happen to someone else?
A couple of weeks later,she visited another cancer specialist.He examined her and read her medical and lab reports.He said he agreed with her surgeon."If you have any once-in-a-lifetime plans,do them now,"he advised.
Instead,Hannah spent her last months in her company,tended to by hospice workers.Her family and friends visited her regularly.The moment before she died,she opened her eyes and tried to say something to her boyfriend.She squeezed his hand weakly.
"She was in constant pain,"her boyfriend said."At the end,she could barely whisper.She weighed 80pounds when she died.I can't believe that God allows things like this to happen to people."

7.As a child,my family moved around a lot.Once,when (61)asked (ask) how she stood moving from one town to another,my mother answered,"As long as there's a library,I'm happy."I remember after one move,getting my new library card and rediscovering many of the familiar friends(62)who/whom/that I thought I'd left behind.Over the years,wherever I lived,I could always rely on (63)being surrounded (surround) by old friends:Sherlock Holmes,Jay Gatsby,and more.
I've always been a great reader.While in school,the library provided me (64)with required reading,term papers and science projects.And as a young adult,it became a source of free (65)entertainment (entertain),which brought me endless joys.I managed to make(66)it easy to have access to best-selling authors,classic movies and music with very little income.

4.Do the exercise15through 25,Give the different forms of the verbs on page50of your French workbook.Read page12through 20of the Shakespeare play,and when you have finished that,don't forget to fill the missing chemical symbols on the Periodic Table of Elements worksheet.
Homework is a major part of going to class,and it helps students grasp important concepts.Luckily,you can do a few things to make homework less painful.
First,be sure you understand the assignment.Write it down in your notebook or day planner if you need to,and don't be afraid to ask questions about what is expected.It is much easier to take a minute to ask the teacher during or after class than to struggle to remember later at night!
Second,use any extra time you have in school to work on your homework.Many schools have study halls that are specifically designed to allow students to study or get homework done.It is attractive to hang out with friends during study periods or unscheduled time,but the more work you can get done in school,the less you will have to do at night.
Third,pace yourself.If you don't finish your homework during school,think about how much you have left and what else is going on that day,and then budget your time.Most high school students have between 1and 3hours of homework a night.If it is a heavy-homework day and it seems like you have got an assignment on every subject but gym and lunch,you will need to devote more time to homework schedule,especially if you are involved in sports or activities or have an after-school job.
28.The first paragraph is probablyB.
A.examination items                                
B.a(chǎn) list of homework
C.some teacher training tasks                
D.some learning methods
29.What is the author's attitude towards homework's effect on students?C
A.Opposing.
B.Impatient.
C.Approving.
D.Concerned.
30.One way to reduce your burdenof homework at night is toD.
A.take part in studying teams                         
B.a(chǎn)ppeal for teachers'aid at any time
C.focus full attention on teachers'lecture       
D.make full use of the time at school
31.Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?B
A.Why Students Should Do Homework
B.How to Make Homework Less Work
C.It is High Time Teachers Gave Less Homework
D.Who is to Blame for Children's Poor Eyesight.
