Fifteen years spent in the field of education has provided me with many treasured moments. One of the most unforgettable   36   when I was teaching second grade 10 years ago.

In May I decided to plan something special for the children; a Mother’s Day tea. We had put our   37   together to come up with ideas of how to   38   our mothers. We practiced singing songs, memorized poems and wrote cards. We decided to hold our tea the Friday before Mother’s Day. I was surprised and   39   to learn that every mother was planning to attend. I   40   invited my own mother.

Finally, the big day arrived. Each child lined up at our classroom door,   41  the arrival of his or her mom.   42   it got closer to starting time, I looked around and my eyes quickly found Jimmy. His mother hadn’t   43   up and he was looking upset.

I took my mother   44   the hand and walked over to Jimmy. “Jimmy,” I said, “I have a bit of problem here and I was   45   if you could keep my mother   46   while I’m busy.”

My mom and Jimmy sat at a table. Jimmy   47   my mom her treats, presented her with the gift I had made, just as we had   48   the day before. Whenever I looked over, my mother and Jimmy were in deep   49  .

Last year, I took a senior class on a field trip, and there was Jimmy, I had the students complete an outline of the day’s   50   and an evaluation of our trip. Then I collected the students’ booklets and checked them to see if   51   was completed. When I came to Jimmy’s   52  , he had written “Remember our Mother’s Day tea we had in second grade, Mrs, Marra? I do! Thanks for all you did for me, and thank your mother, too.”

I told him I really enjoyed what he had written. He looked rather embarrassed and   53   his own thanks and walked away. Suddenly he ran bark and gave me a big hug.

“Thanks again. No one even knew my mother didn’t   54   it.”

I ended my workday with a hug from a teenage boy who    55   stopped hugging teachers years ago.

Researchers have announced the result of two studies on the health effects of the drug aspirin. One study shows aspirin can sharply reduce the chance that a healthy, older man will suffer from a heart attack.

The study offered two new results from earlier findings. It said taking one aspirin pill every other day helped only healthy men over the age of fifty. It also said aspirin gave the greatest protection against heart attacks to men with low blood cholesterol (膽固醇) levels.

Earlier in the United States began a major aspirin study in the early 1980s. It included 22,000 healthy men doctors. All were between the ages of forty and eighty-four. More than 11,000 of the doctors took a harmless pill that contained no drug. The men did not know which kind of pill they were taking.

The doctors who took aspirin suffered 44% fewer heart attacks than those taking the harmless pill. 139 men who took aspirin suffered from heart attacks. Ten of them died. 239 men who did not take aspirin suffered from heart attacks. Twenty-six of them died.

The researchers said the doctors’ study provides clear proof that taking aspirin can prevent a first heart attack in healthy, older men. They said, however, the result does not mean every man over the age of fifty should take aspirin. They said aspirin couldn’t help men who do not eat healthy foods, who smoke cigarettes and who are fat. The researchers said men who think they would be helped by taking aspirin should talk with their doctors first.

64. The passage tells us that the new use of aspirin is ______.

A.  to treat heart disease

B. to reduce pain while one suffers from a heart attack

C. to help old people to be more healthy

D. to reduce the chance of a heart attack in old men

65. Aspirin can help those who ______.

A.  work as doctors                                    B. are under 40 years old

C. are fat and smoke cigarettes      D. are older and healthy

66. At last the researchers advised us to take aspirin ______.

A. with care                                B. as much as we like

C. every day                               D. only considering the age

67. From the experiment we can conclude that about _____ of people who suffered from heart attacks without aspirin died.

A. 7%                        B. 11%                   C. 19%               D. 44%

閱讀表達(dá)（共5小題，每小題3分，滿分15分）

         閱讀下面短文，并根據(jù)短文后的要求回答（請注意問題后的字?jǐn)?shù)要求）

         [1]China will change the world as much as the world changes China, if the country continues its opening up.

         [2]How could it not? The rest of the world cannot remain unaffected by the culture of one-fifth of humanity. As China strengthens its economy, allows its citizens more overseas travel and participates in global efforts, the West surely will learn more about Chinese ways.

         [3]And once it does, its people might choose to adot some of them.

         [4]It might surprise Chinese that Westerners             . When I announced my Beijing job to American friends, family and neighbors, they were very curious and mostly uninformed about China．

         [5] Our media carries little news about China except during unusual circumstances, which typically are times of stress between the two countries．We hear about arguments with China over climate change, Taiwan and Tibet, but that doesn' t tell average Americans anything about average Chinese．

         [6]Most American- don't know that Chinese weddings feature firecrackers; that Chinese parents make extraordinary sacrifices for their children; that Chinese diners eat off plates smaller than any on a Western table; that favorite Chinese drinks include hot soy milk and the potent white-grain alcohol, baijiu; and that elderly Chinese sometimes walk down streets backwards to keep their balancing skills sharp．

         [7]Westemers will learn as they and the Chinese increasingly mingle（接觸）．As they do there' s no telling which Chirac customs will take root in foreiffl soil．but some of them surely will．

         [8] Maybe we' 11 see baijiu and green tea served at baseball stadiums along with beer and soda pop．That wouldn' t make the game any less American．

         [9] Meanwhile, I hope China continues to take in what the world has to offer and transform it into something typically Chinese．To think that exposure to Western ways weakens China, instead of strengthens it, assumes the country' s culture is fragile．That' s a surprising attitude for any Chinese to take．

76．What does the passage mainly tell us? (within 10 words)

77．Fill in the blank in Paragraph 4 with proper words. (within 6 words)

78．What an attitude should we Chinese take towards Western culture according to the author? (within 20 words)

79．Which sentence in the text is the closest in meaning to the following one?

         In that case, some of the Chinese way of life will, possibly, be accepted by the westerners.

80．Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 7 into Chinese.

—See the gathering clouds outside? Please take this umbrella with you．

         —      .

         A．Thanks．Take it easy         B．OK, just in case

         C．Well, it just depends D．All right．I'll try my luck
