That warm day was the only day of the week without rain．I opened the door,took a seat and began to enjoy the wonderful sunshine．Suddenly,I noticed that the house near mine had been sold．An elderly lady was in front of the door,with some beautiful flowers beside her．I walked to her．She looked to be in her early eighties and had the prettiest white hair．

“Hi！My name is Karmen,”I said smiling brightly at the old lady．She smiled back and said,“Hello,Karmen．I ’m Henrietta．”Her voice was very strong for someone at her age．Later，I learned she was alone and had no family or relatives to help her．From that day on,I often visited her and helped her with her housework and sometimes she gave me some delicious food．A year passed,and I considered Henrietta to be one of my best friends．

One day,I walked over for my morning visit and knocked on the door,but there was no answer．I knocked again,and she still didn’t turn up．So I let myself in,using the key she had given me．I checked her living room and then her kitchen．I finally went into her bedroom,and she was lying peacefully on her bed．Beside her there were two notes．One was her will（遺囑）,which said all that she had would be given to me．The other was a thank-you note．I went to her bedside and cried sadly．

Though several years have gone by,I still miss her deeply．Whenever I look at the beautiful flowers in front of her house,I remember the wonderful friendship we had．

51．The writer came out of the house to ______．

A．look at an old lady                                          B．enjoy some flowers

C．enjoy the sunshine                                         D．clean the house nearby

A．disliked all her relatives                                  B．had no one to look after her

C．didn’t want to live with her family                     D．was looking for someone to look after her

53．What can we learn from the passage?

A．The old lady was not kind．                                  

B．The writer didn’t have any good friends．

C．The old lady didn’t know how to make food．

D．The writer got along very well with the old lady．

The Body Temperature
The temperature of your body should be always just the same, no matter whether the weather is hot or cold. That is why the doctor uses his thermometer （溫度計(jì)）when your are sick.
The body keeps the same temperature all the time ,because it balances the heat it produces and it gives off. It is always burning up food and , producing heat. It can produce heat faster when it needs to give off heat than when it becomes too warm. Let’s see how this happen.
The heat of your body is given off mainly through the skin. When you are cold, your skin is tight and shows “good flesh”. When you get chilly, you must dance around to keep warm or else you will shiver. Then your muscles begin to work, burn up fuel, and produce more heat. It is not pleasant to shiver, so you usually prefer to warm up by exercise, or put on more clothes to keep heat in.
When you are warm, the skin is loose and soft. It is so supplied with blood that heat is given off rapidly. If you get too warm, you begin to sweat ,and more body heat is used in evaporating the moisture（水蒸氣） from your skin. You wear less clothing, too, in warm weather or warm room, so that warm can be given off freely. You feel less like exercising because your body is warm already, and the extra heat produced by exercise makes you uncomfortable.
You can see from the way you feel differently in different kinds of weather. In summer, when it is warm, you feel tired and lazy. You do not care to work or play, but enjoy lying and doing nothing. When you get out of doors in winter, the cold air makes you feel lively. You want to play.
【小題1】Which is another title suitable of the passage?

A．The Patients’ Temperature
B．The Body Temperature Should Always Be the Same
C．The Body Temperature
D．The Temperature and Your Skin
【小題2】How does the body keep the same temperature all the time?
A．It is always producing heat from food.
B．It gives off the heat produced in it.
C．It balances the heat it gets and loses.
D．It stops producing heat when necessary.
【小題3】When one feels chilly, which of the following will he do?
A．His skin becomes tight in order to keep warm.
B．He does exercises to make his muscle produce more heat.
C．He puts on more clothes to keep heat in.
D．He keeps shivering to produce more heat.
【小題4】When in summer, people prefer to_____.
A．workB．playC．do exerciseD．relax and do nothing

Japan will hand out its first “Nobel Prize of Manga (國際漫畫獎(jiǎng))” for artists in the comic book field abroad. This is another step in Japan’s efforts to show the power of pop culture diplomacy.
The International Manga Award, which was compared by manga lover Foreign Minister Taro Aso to a “Nobel Prize” when he first proposed it, will be given to an artist working abroad whose work best contributes to the spread of the manga form worldwide.
Manga, a name used for Japanese style comic books, often combines stories with drawing styles that differ from the overseas superhero comics and cartoon, particularly in their frequent emphasis on cuteness.
The winner will receive a certificate and a cup at an award ceremony, and will spend 10 days in Japan meeting with local comic book artists and publishers.
“Manga has been spreading overseas and are selling quite well,” Aso said when announcing the award to the public. “I want to further improve the communicative power of these so-called ‘pieces of pop culture’.”
Aso has argued that warm feelings for Japanese comics and cartoon can translate into warm feelings for Japanese foreign policy.
He has proposed sending cartoon artists overseas as cultural ambassadors and the government has named some officials to advise ways to promote Japanese cartoon and culture to foreign audiences.
The award committee, consisting of manga artists and publishers, is expected to make its selections quite soon.
According to a ministry official Nobuyuki Watanabe, the prize carries no money reward. The cup’s design has yet to be finished, but it will be something “appropriate”.
【小題1】 The International Manga Award will be presented to ____________.

A．a(chǎn) Japanese who has achieved a lot in creating new methods of drawing
B．a(chǎn)n artist who makes contributions to introducing manga to the other foreign countries
C．the person who is expert at comics and cartoon
D．a(chǎn) foreign artist who has contributed to the development of manga
【小題2】 Which statement is NOT true about manga?
A．Manga is different from the overseas comic books.
B．Manga is popular not only in Japan but also overseas.
C．Manga refers to international comics and cartoon.
D．There are stories and pictures in manga.[來源:學(xué)_科_網(wǎng)]
