.

Some years ago on a hot summer day in south Florida a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old swimming hole behind his house.

    He flew into the water , not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, an alligator (鱷魚) was swimming toward the shore. His mother in the house was looking out the window and saw the two as they got closer and closer together . She ran toward the water , shouting to her son as loudly as he could

  Hearing her voice , the littler boy became alarmed and made a U-turn to swim to his mother. It was too late. Just as he reached her, the alligator reached him.

 From the dock, the mother grabber her little boy by the arms just as the alligator snatched his legs. That began an incredible tug-of –war between the two. The alligator was much stronger that the mother , but the mother was much too passionate to let go . A farmer happened to drive by, heard her screams, raced from his truck, took aim and shot the alligator.

Remarkably, after weeks and weeks in the hospital, the little boy survived. His legs were extremely scarred by the vicious attack of the animal and, on his arms, were deep scratches where his mother’s fingernails dug in to his flesh in her effort to hang on to the son she loved.

  The newspaper reporter who interviewed the boy after the trauma (創(chuàng)傷)， asked if he would show him his scars. The boy lifted his pant legs. And then, with obvious pride, he said to the reporter, “ But look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my mum wouldn’t let go�！�

 Sometimes we foolishly wade into dangerous situation. The swimming hole of life is filled with peril (危險(xiǎn))and we forget that the enemy is waiting to attack. When the tug-of –war begins and if you have the scars of his love on your arms, be very, very grateful. He did not —and will not—let you go.

60. What was coming when the boy flew into the river?

A. Happiness.     B. A fish  C. Danger      D. Mother

61. The underlined word “ passionate” in paragraph 4 means“ __________”

A. anxious       B . eager  C. curious      D. full of emotion

62.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The scars on his arms are great.

B. The boy is sad because of his scars.

C. His mother is stronger that the alligator.

D. The scars on the boy were caused by the alligator.

63. Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage?

A. Save a boy.            B. Scars of love  

C. Fight with an Alligator   D.A brave boy

When Nancy Lublin received $ 5 000 from her grandfather in 1996, she never once considered taking a vacation or paying off student loans (貸款). Instead, the 24-yea~old New York University law student began thinking about helping low-income women get better jobs. "If a woman goes for a job interview (面試) poorly dressed, she won't get the job," Lublin says. "But without a job, she can't afford suit- able clothes."      

So, with the money Lublin founded "Dress for Success" and began collecting women's clothes which were still in good condition but which their owners no longer needed. "So many women have clothes lying around that they will never wear again," one of Lublin's assistants says. "Nancy's idea is so simple and yet so important to women."      

Many women come to Lublin's office before going to a job interview. Here, they receive a suit, shoes and any other things they need.  Since it was set up, more than 1 000 women have turned to "Dress for Success" for help. Many of them have won jobs. Some have found jobs after being out of work for many years. Jenny, a 32-year-old woman who was recently hired as a law-firm office manager says, "I made a good impression (印象) because of 'Dress for Success'."

Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer．

    TV and computer games are blamed for everything from turning our children into a generation of couch potatoes to increased anti-social behavior．Dr ．Aric Sigman an associate fellow of the British Psychological Society, believes watching TV too much Puts children at increased risk of health problems, including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and obesity．

       If you’re worried about how long your child spends in front of a screen．It may be time to review and modify your family’s screen habits．

       Research firm BMRB estimates young people in the UK aged between 11 and 15 spend ,on average, 52 hours a week in front of a screen．

       In April 2007, he told MPs children under three shouldn’t be exposed to TV at all．

       He recommended children aged between three and seven should watch no more than  30 minutes to an hour of TV a day, seven to 12-yea-olds should be limited to one hour, and 12 to 15-year-olds should watch a maximum of one and a half hours．

       Dr ．Sigman wants the Government to publish recommended daily guidelines for TV watching, as it does for salt intake．

       Both women, who have five children between them, acknowledge that cutting down screen time can be tough． “It needs a bit of effort, but small steps can make a difference so everyone in the family is happier,” says Laura O’ Flynn．

       Keep TVs and computers out of children’s bedrooms．Watching TV before going to sleep doesn’t help children settle．Instead, read a bedtime story or encourage them to read for themselves．Having and who they’re talking to online．

       Good viewing habits start young．It’s difficult to impose rules on teenagers who already watch excessive TV or play computer games for hours on end．

       Help children plan their viewing with a TV guide．This will cut down screen time and help them to become more selective about what they watch．

       Don’t put on the TV as background noise．

       Set viewing limits．Decide with your children how much time they can spend watching TV or playing computer games．Think in 30-minute units．Shorter periods make it easier to switch off and cut down on screen consumption．

       Lead by example．Don’t have a TV in your own bedroom and don’t spend hours watching TV or online．

       Do some activities, such as playing board games or going out on a bike ride to distract their attention from TV or computers．Laura O’ Flynn says: “we went into lots of schools and the children told us they wished their parents would take them to the park and play with them ．”

       Before rushing to throw out your TV set or computer, it’s worth remembering much of the current research focuses on excessive TV watching．Watching TV as a family can be a shared social event and , if you plan your viewing and do something different to look forward to together rather than having the TV on all the time ,it’s all about striking right balance．
