14．Please excuse me if I'm a little sad today．Mark is leaving，and I'm feeling kind of sad．
You probably don't know Mark，but you might be lucky enough to know someone just like him．He's been the heart and soul of the office for a couple of years combining great professional skills with a sweet nature．He just wants to do his job，and to do it superbly well．And now he's moving on to an exciting new professional opportunity．It sounds like it could be the chance of a lifetime，and we're genuinely，sincerely pleased for him．But that doesn't make it any easier to say goodbye to a dear friend and trusted colleague．
Life has a way of throwing these curve balls at us．Just when we start to get comfortable with a person，a place or a situation．A terrific neighbor moves away．Someone in the family graduates．A child finds new love and loyalties through marriage．The family's principle bread-winner is laid off．
But how do we do that？A friend of mine who works for the government once told me that the answer to life's problems can be summed up in four words："Go with the flow．"
"It's like surfing，"Chris explained．"You can't organize the ocean．Waves just happen．You ride them where they take you，then you paddle back out there and catch the next one．Sure，you're always hoping for the perfect wave where you can get．But mostly you just take them the way they come．
I'm not exactly sure，but I think Chris was saying that life is a series of events-both good and bad．There will always be life-influencing factors over which you have no control．That doesn't mean you don't keep trying to make all your dreams come true．It just means that when things come up that aren't exactly in your plan，you work around them-and then you move on．Of course，some bumps along the road of life are easier to take than others．A rained-out picnic，for example，is easier to cope with than the sudden death of a loved one．But the principle is the same．
We're going to miss Mark，just like you'll miss that graduate，that neighbor or that newlywed．But rather than drown ourselves in the sadness of our parting，we'll focus on our hopes for a brighter future-for him，and for us．And then we'll go out and do everything we can to make that future happen．

5．In choosing a friend，one should be very careful．A good friend can help you study．You can have fun together and make each other happy．Sometimes you will meet fair weather friends．They will be with you as long as you have money or luck，but when you are down，they will run away．How do I know when I have found a good friend？I look for certain qualities of character，especially understanding，honesty and reliability．
Above all else，I look for understanding in a friend．A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling．He is not quick to judge．Instead，he tries to learn from others．He puts himself in the other person's place and he tries to think of ways to be helpful．He is also a good listener．
At the same time，however，a good friend is honest．He does not look for faults in others．He notices their good points．In short，a friend will try to understand me and accept me．
Another quality of a friend is reliability．I can always depend on a good friend．If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time，I can be sure that he will be there．If I need a favour，he will do his best to help me．If I am in trouble，he will not run away from me．
There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special．A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun．We would enjoy our lives，and we would enjoy our friendship．That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with．A good friend likes the same things I like．We share experience and learn from each other．A good friend has a good sense of humour，too．He likes to laugh with me．That is how we share in the joy of being friends．And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me．
When I meet someone who is reliable，honest and understanding，I know I'm lucky that I've found a friend!（358words）

2．Poinsettias （一品紅） are the best-selling potted flowering plant in the United States．Red poinsettias are a traditional part of Christmas celebrations，which is why almost all of them are sold in winter time．
Poinsettias are native to Central America and need warmth to grow．Bright red poinsettias are the best known．But there are about one hundred different kinds．
The flowers of poinsettias are very small．Around the flowers are colorful leaves called bracts （苞片）．These bracts are what give the plants their beauty．
Poinsettias are named for Joel Roberts Poinsett from South Carolina．In 1825President John Quincy Adams chose him to be the United States'first minister to Mexico．Poinsett had an interest in plants．He saw the colorful plants growing in the wild．Wild poinsettias can grow up to four meters tall．He liked them so much that he sent some cuttings back to the United States．
People who are allergic （過敏的） to the liquid produced by rubber trees can develop a mild skin disease from poinsettia plants．Babies and pets that eat poinsettias can get sick．But experts say the plant is not as poisonous as some people think．
In the 1920s，Albert Ecke and his son Paul became interested in poinsettias'ability to flower in winter．Paul thought it would be a good plant to display at Christmas．
They started a farm near Encinitas，California．At first，Paul，and later his son，grew large plants in the fields．Then they sent them to growers by train．
In the 1960s poinsettias could be grown in containers．The Eckes started to sell cuttings from these new plants．Today Ecke Ranch remains a major supplier in the United States and around the world．
67．Poinsettias are used in America mainly forB．
A．preventing diseases
B．celebrations
C．remembering Poinsett
D．making money
68．Which of the following makes poinsettias attractive？D
A．Their cuttings
B．Their branches
C．Their flowers
D．Their bracts
69．When did people begin to grow poinsettias in the fields？C
A．In the 1820s
B．In the 1840s
C．In the 1920s
D．In the 1960s
70．We can learn from the passage thatD．
A．specialists think poinsettias are good for health
B．poinsettias grow well where it is cold and dry
C．Poinsett became interested in plants because of poinsettias
D．the Eckes have made much money from selling poinsettias．

Linda Neal，who attended Baroness Thatcher's funeral（葬禮）at St．Paul's Cathedral，said the rose would be finally replanted in the town's Wyndham Park．
