I need to share a strangely wonderful event in my life that involves cancer and death. I am certain you are 1        with the fact that I am using the words wonderful,cancer and death in the same sentence. I think that after you read this story you will 2        that in this case it is an ap?propriate 3       of words.

  A dear friend of mine was dying of cancer. 4       before she died she shared with me that she was very 5        that she would never get to the 6        again. She grew up near the ocean and it was a(n) 7       place for her. The cancer had made her too 8        to travel 4-5 hours. The next morning I shared this with several of her friends and we 9        we had to do something about it.

  On the afternoon,while her family kept her away from the 10       ,we started to carry out the plan. We dumped (倒) tons of white beach sand in her driveway. After we 11        out the sand in her driveway,we 12       it with two tents,beach balls,shovels (伊子) and beach chairs. 13      ,there was a recorder playing the sound of waves washing the seashore. We even rented an ice cream machine so that we could make her favorite ice cream. When all was in 14       ,her daughter brought her out to her 15        beach where she was 16        by a few dozen friends dressed in flowered shirts. We shed (流) a tear or two that day,17       it was mostly filled with laughs and most of all 18       . The day ended with a fire on her beach.

  She died two weeks later but she managed to 19        her beach four or five more times be?fore she left us. I guess the message of this story is that when someone is in 20       ,we should think of ways to help him/her.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源： 題型：

I just finished taking an evening class at Stanford. The last lecture was on the mindbody connection―the relationship between stress and disease. The speaker (head of psychiatry (精神病學(xué)) at Stanford) said,among other things,one of the best things that a man could do for his health is to be married to a woman,whereas for a woman,one of the best things she could do for her health was to nurture (培育) her relationships with her girlfriends. At first everyone laughed,but he was serious.

Women connect with each other differently and provide support systems that help each other to deal with stress and difficult life experiences. Physically this quality "girlfriend time" helps us to create more serotonin一a neurotransmitter (神經(jīng)傳遞素) that helps combat depression and can create a general feeling of well being. Women share feelings whereas men often form relationships around activities. They rarely sit down with a buddy (伙伴) and talk about how they feel about certain things or how their personal lives are going. Jobs? Yes. Sports? Yes. Cars? Yes. Fishing,hunting,golf? Yes. But their feelings? Rarely. Women do it all of the time. We share from our souls with our sisters,and evidently that is very good for our health. He said that spending time with a friend is just as important to our general health as jogging or working out at a gym.

There's a tendency to think that when we are "exercising" we are doing something good for our bodies,but when we are hanging out with friends,we are wasting our time and should be more productively engaged―not true. In fact,he said that failure to create and maintain quality personal relationships with other humans is as dangerous to our physical health as smoking!So every time you hang out to schmooze (閑談) with a gal pal,just pat yourself on the back and congratulate yourself for doing something good for your health!We are indeed very very lucky.

   D. always do different activities to combat depression with friends

(   ) 6. The underlined phrase "working out" in the second paragraph most probably means

   A. figuring out the algebra problems 

   B. puzzling out the answer to the problem 

   C. doing physical exercise  

   D. solving the difficult problem

(   ) 7. The purpose of the first paragraph is to show that         .

   A. marriage is good for men while relationships with girlfriends essential for women to be healthy

   B. it is a best thing for men and women to get married in order to keep healthy

   C. the speaker was serious to talk about the relationship between stress and disease

   D. one of the best things women could do for health was to nurture the relationships with boyfriends

(   ) 8. What can we learn from the last paragraph?

   A. "Exercising" good for our bodies, "hanging out" wasting our time.

   B. A disagreeable relationship with other persons is similarly dangerous to our health.

   C. We have reasons to toast to the friendship with our girlfriends.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源： 題型：

  By Five-year-old Pepper has learned to open windows and let himself out every night by hopping onto a kitchen worktop and using his paws to turn the latch.

  So when a fire broke out while his owners were Christmas shopping,the quickthinking puss leapt into action and opened the window to allow the acrid smoke to escape.

  The billowing cloud of ash alerted neighbours,and firefighters rushed to the scene and ex?tinguished the blaze before it spread to the rest of the house.

  Owner Sharon White said, "He first did it (opened the window) at a dinner party,and everyone was applauding him. I think it spurred him on. He can climb back in through the win?dow by jumping diagonally onto the ledge as well,so he really does come and go as he pleases."

  Sharon and her husband Phil were handed Pepper over four years ago after a neighbour could no longer look after it. Pepper developed a "fierce independent streak" and would often leave the house for days on end.

  The dramatic fire started at 4p. m. on Saturday after the couple nipped to the shops and left their microwave on a ten minute timer,which then caught fire.

  Sharon said , " We put something in the microwave for ten minutes and then popped out to do our Christmas shopping in the local town. I discovered on the way that I had left my purse at home but decided not to turn around. It was my sister-in-law who lives next door that rang us about two hours into our trip and said , ' You had better get home as there is quite a lot of smoke coming out of your house and the fire brigade are here. ' We are thankful our neighbours did not just dismiss the smoke as a bonfire."

  Firefighters rushed to their £ 350,000 house and extinguished the flames before they could spread,and the kitchen suffered only smoke damage. There was some damage to the kitchen,but it was isolated,so nothing serious happened compared to what it could have been.

  "He's got a real mind of his own and is usually a bit of a pain. But on this occasion we're grateful,as without him and our neighbours,the fire could have been so much worse."
