Every year on my birthday, from the time I turned 12,a white gardenia（梔子花）was sent to my house. No card came with it．Calls to the flower shops were not helpful at all. After a while I stopped trying to discover the sender's name and was just very pleased with the beautiful white flower in soft pink paper.
But I never stopped imagining who the giver might be, Some of my happiest moments were  spent daydreaming about the sender. My mother encouraged this imagining. She'd ask me if there was someone for whom I had done a special kindness. Perhaps it was the old man who I looked afier when he was ill. As a girl, I had more fun imagining that it might be a boy.
One month before my graduation, my father died. I felt very sad and didn't want to go to the  coming graduation dance at all. And I didn't care whether I had a new dress or not. But my mother, in her own sadness, would not let me miss any of those things. She wanted her children to feel loved and lovable. In truth, my mother wanted her children to see themselves much like the gardenia-lovely, strong and perfect with perhaps a bit of mystery.

Millions of young people are writing blogs. Millions of others are reading them. The word“blog”is a short way of saying Web log.
Many popular Web sites now offer free，easy ways to create personal Web pages and fill them with writings and pictures. Web sites called “ Facebook ” and “MySpace” are some of the most popular blog sites for young people. Many young adults use their blogs to write about daily activities and events in their lives. They also provide a place for people to write their ideas and opinions and how they think of others’ ideas.
Blogs offer young people a place to show their writings and feelings. They can also be helpful to connect young people with others. But blogs can become dangerous when they are read on the Internet by millions of people all over the world.
Recent studies show that young people often provide their names, age and where they live on the Internet. That may not be safe for them. This personal information puts them at risk(風險)of being searched out by dangerous people who want to hurt them. Many students do not know about privacy(隱私)and are surprised to learn that adults can read their personal daily records easily. Students can also get into trouble when they put information about others on their blogs.
As a result, many schools have banned (禁止) the use of blogging Web sites on school computers. Many schools have also begun teaching parents about the Web sites. Parents should know what their children are doing online and should read their blogs to make sure they are not giving out private information. One way to keep away from these problems is to use programs so that blogs can be read by “friends only”. People can read the website only if they know a secret word chosen by the blogger.
小題1:“Facebook”and“MySpace”are         .
A．school subjectsB．computer programmes
C．school online BBSD．blog sites for young people
小題2:Blogs may be dangerous because         .
A．they get in the way of studies
B．they are not allowed for school students
C．surfing the Internet is bad for eyes
D．personal information can be found in blogs easily
小題3:This passage is mainly about        .
A．the safety of children’s blogs
B．how to search the Internet
C．students’ behavior at school
D．communicating with parents at home
小題4:According to the passage，many schools help children avoid(避免) blog problems by doing everything EXCEPT        .
A．teaching parents about the Web sites
B．a(chǎn)sking students to use programs to refuse strangers
C．telling school students not to make any net friends
D．stopping students from blogging on school computers
小題5:You can enjoy your blog safely if        .
A．you write your blog at school
B．use a secret number for friends to enter your blog

One of sweetest memories as a child is of going down to the river and sitting comfortably on the bank. There I would enjoy the peace and quiet, watch the water rush downstream and listen to songs of birds. I would also watch the bamboo trees bend under the pressure from the wind and watch them return gracefully to their original state after the wind had died down.
When I think about the bamboo tree’s ability to bend and move back, the word “resilience” comes to my mind. When it is used for a person, this word means the ability to readily recover(恢復) from shock, sadness or any other suffering. Have you ever felt like you were going to snap? Have you ever felt like you were at your breaking point? Thankfully, you have survived to talk about it.
Life is a mixture(混合) of good times and bad times, happy moments and unhappy moments. The next time you are experiencing one of those bad times or unhappy moments that take you close to your breaking point, bend, but don’t break. Try your best not to let the situation get the best of you.
An amount of hope will take you through the unpleasant suffering. With hope for a better tomorrow or a better situation, things may not be as bad as they seem. The unpleasant suffering may be easier to deal with if the end result is worth having.
If things get tough and you are at your breaking point, show resilience. Like the bamboo trees, bend, but don’t break!
小題1:What does the word “snap” in the second paragraph most probably mean?
A．breakB．change
C．winD．Complain
小題2:What can help people get through sufferings according to the writer?
A．Holding peace and quiet in mind.B．Waiting until sufferings disappear.
C．Experiencing more bad times.D．Hoping for a better tomorrow.
小題3:What would be the best title of this passage?
A．Memories of BambooB．Be Like Bamboo
C．Enjoying BambooD．Characteristics of Bamboo

In recent years advances in medical technology have made it possible for people to live longer than in the past. New medicines and instruments are being developed every day to extend（延長）life. However，some people，including some doctors， are not in favour of these life extending measures，and they argue that people should have the right to die when they want. They say that the quality of life is as important as life itself，and that people should not be forced to go on living when conditions of life have become unbearable（不能忍受的.
