Parsley（歐芹）is an ancient green and a respected addition to many foods. But other times, its job is just to make a mealtime plate look pretty. Poor parsley, valued for its looks, then is thrown away. Yet parsley is a good source of vitamins and other nutrients. The taste is a little strong for some people, but others chew on parsley to freshen their breath.
Curly parsley is the king that often ends up being used just for appearance. Flat-leaf parsley is easier to work with for cooking. This kind is often called Italian or French parsley. Do you know about a third kind of parsley? Hamburg parsley has flat leaves that can be used for the same purposes as other parsley. But Hamburg parsley has a large root which is used as a vegetable to add flavor to soups.
Parsley is used in foods such as tabouli, a traditional Lebanese salad, and is often served with lamb, fish and beef dishes. Parsley is a herb if you use just the greens. if the root is used, then parsley is considered a vegetable.
Some gardeners suggest that to get the best-tasting parsley, you should plant new seeds every year. You can get parsley to grow faster by pouring warm water over the seeds. Leave the seeds in the water overnight. Then you can grow them in containers indoors or plant them outside. Parsley grows best when temperatures are below twenty-one degrees Celsius. It likes to grow in sunny places. Tile seeds need rich soil. Plant the seeds about fifteen to twenty-five centimeters apart. Water them regularly during tile first month. After that, parsley does not need very much water. You can harvest parsley by cutting most of the plant or leave more of the plant in the ground for a second crop.

A farewell party was going on. Sylvia Calver hated being the center of any pubic show where she didn’t know anyone. It made her  36  hot and she always felt she wanted to go away somewhere. But on an occasion like this when she knew  37 , there was no  38 to feel shy.  39she had made up her mind to  40  people’s attention for once in her life. Unlike others, Sylvia didn’t have any sad feelings herself at leaving Palmeira Court Hotel or saying goodbye to its 41  — she had left so many other  42 , and known too many people in her life to get upset by such things now.
Yet this  43 was a particular occasion, and she hadn’t had so many of those in her  44. She had put on her  45  black dress and her long earrings. She had wanted to enjoy being the center of  46 for one evening, but now they had  47  old Miss Hutton of all people to give the  48 speech, whom she disliked. Even so, she thought there was no sense in getting  49  about it, for it was the first rule her  50 had given her — avoid all anxiety, take things easy. So, surprising herself by enjoying her own well-rounded white arm as  51 showed through the sleeve of her  52  dress, she took a taste of her drink and then sat back comfortably with her cigarette. And her doctor’s orders worked! For 53  out slowly, she put Miss Hutton off the end of her  54  with a cloud of tobacco smoke, so that she smiled to herself at the old girl’s funny expression. She  55 herself quite well that night, even to her own surprise.

      One dark and stormy night, an elderly man and his wife entered the hall of a small hotel in Philadelphia, hoping to get shelter for the night. 
      The clerk, a friendly man with a beautiful smile, explained that there were three conferences in town. “All of our rooms are taken,” the clerk said, “but I can't send a nice couple like you into the rain at one o’clock in the morning. Would you perhaps be willing to sleep in my room? It’s not a suite, but it will be good enough to make you comfortable for the night.” The couple agreed. 
      As the elderly man paid the bill the next morning, he told the clerk, “You are the kind of person who should be the boss of the best hotel in the United States. Maybe someday I’Il build one for you.” The clerk looked at them and smiled. The three of them had a good laugh. 
      Two years passed. The clerk had almost forgotten the incident when he received a letter from the elderly man, asking the clerk to pay him a visit. The elderly man met him in New York, and led him to the corner of the Fifth Avenue and 34th Street.

      第三部分：閱讀理解（共20小題，每題2分，滿分40分）
      閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳答案，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。
       Today most Chinese teenagers are happy to be favored by two parents and four grandparents 
      in their families. But have you ever thought about how to take care of four to twelve old people 
      when you grow up and get married? This could be a problem for most Chinese youths as China is 
      entering a new stage of an aging society.
      An aging society refers to one where 10 percent or more of its population is over 60. By the end of 2007, Chinese over 60 years old have made up 11.7 percent of the nation’s total population.
      “China is getting old before becoming rich,” said Cai Chuang, a professor at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. The population increase that has powered Chinese growth for three decades will give way over the next ten years to a rapid aging of the society. This will lead to weaker economic growth, because of a lack of labor resources.
      As a result of the family planning policy, it is expected that the country’s total working population will decrease after 2015.
      China is not the only country getting old. More that 60 countries have become aging societies and one in three people in the European Union is a senior citizen. 
      However, experts said that China doesn’t have a highly developed social security network to support the old. Social security is an insurance program protecting those in need, including the old, the disabled and others.
      56．An aging society is a society that        .
       A．less that 10% of its population is over 60
       B．10% or more of its population is over 60
       C．there are four old people in a family
       D．most of its population is over 60
      57．If China enters an aging society,      .
       A．there will not be enough labor resources
       B．the family planning policy will be ended
       C．everyone needs to take care of four to twelve old people
       D．China will have a highly developed social security network
      58．What does Cai Chuang mean by saying “China is getting old before becoming rich.”?
       A．China will be an aging society, then be a developed country.
       B．China will be a rich country before being an aging society.
       C．An aging society will affect Chinese economy development.
       D．China will stop developing because of its aging problem.
      59．The passage mainly talks about         .
       A．a(chǎn)n aging society             B．Chinese social problem
       C．family panning policy     D．a(chǎn)ging problem in China

      The secret of happiness is to spend around ￡2.50 every day on somebody else.
      To give a couple of pounds each day rather than to spend it on treats and fashion for yourself is the key to happiness, according to a new study.
      Dr Elizabeth Dunn and her colleagues who did a national survey of 630 people in the United States found that people report greater happiness if they spend money more socially. That means spending on gifts for others or on charitable(慈善的) donations rather than spending on themselves.
      "We wanted to test our theory that how people spend their money is at least as important as how much money they earn," says Dunn, who reports the work in Science.
      The results from all three lines of research are quite the same.
      "Regardless of how much income each person made," says Dunn, "those who spent money on others reported greater happiness, while those who spent more on themselves did not."
      "Making a modest donation is enough to increase people's happiness" the researchers conclude.
      "These findings suggest that a very small change in spending, as little as ￡2.50, may be enough to produce real gains in happiness on a given day," says Dr Dunn.
      The researchers call on governments to encourage people to spend more on others to help translate increased national wealth into increased national happiness.
      Surveys have also shown that happiness levels have remained almost flat within developed countries even as incomes have increased in recent decades.
      65.According to the survey, what kind of people have greater happiness?
       A.People who can make enough money.
       B.People who can buy whatever they want.
       C.People who spend money on treats and fashion for themselves.
       D.People who spend a modest amount of money every day on others.
      66.The underlined word "flat" probably means______.
       A.smooth       B.dull     C.same    D.interesting
      67.Which of the following statements is true?
       A.Researchers pay no attention to spending on others.
       B.The government did much in helping others.
       C."Science" in Paragraph 4 is probably a magazine.
       D.The survey is very successful.
      68.The purpose of the writer is to tell us______.
       A.the secret of happiness.      B.money spent on friends.
       C.link between money and happiness.   D.difference between national wealth and happiness.

       Three armed robbers stole two Pablo Picasso prints from an art museum in downtown Sao Paulo on Thursday, which was the city's second high-profile art theft in less than a year. The bandits also took two oil paintings by well-known Brazilian artists Emiliano Di Cavalcanti and Lasar Segall, said Carla Regina, a spokeswoman for the Pinacoteca do Estado museum. 
      The Picasso prints stolen were "The Painter and the Model" from 1963 and "Minotaur, Drinker and Women" from 1933, according to a statement from the Sao Paulo Secretary of State for Culture, which oversees the museum. The prints and paintings have a combined value of $612,000, the statement and a museum official said.
      About noon, three armed men paid the $2.45 entrance fee and immediately went to the second-floor gallery where the works were being exhibited, bypassing more valuable pieces, authorities said. "This indicates to us that they probably received an order" to take those specific works, Youssef Abou Chain, head of Sao Paulo's organized crime unit, told reporters at a news conference. The assailants overpowered three unarmed museum guards and grabbed the works, officials said. The robbery took about 10 minutes and the museum was nearly empty at the time. The assailants took the pieces — frames and all — out of the museum in two bags. The institution has no metal detectors. 
      In December, Picasso's "Portrait of Suzanne Bloch" and "O Lavrador de Cafe" by Candido Portinari, an influential Brazilian artist, were stolen from the Sao Paulo Museum of Art by three men who used a crowbar（鐵撬棍）and car jack to force open one of the museum's steel doors. The framed paintings were found Jan. 8, covered in plastic and leaning against a wall in a house on the outskirts of Sao Paulo, South America's largest city. One of the suspects in that robbery — a former TV chef — turned himself over to police in January, who already had two suspects in custody（監(jiān)禁）. 
      56. What did the armed men steal on Thursday?
      A. Two prints by Pablo Picasso 
      B. Two oil painting by Brazilian artists
      C. Two prints by Pablo Picasso and two oil paintings by two Brazilian artists.  
      D. Two prints by two Brazilian artists and two oil paintings by Picasso Pablo.  
      57. Why didn't the thieves take other more valuable works?  
      A. Because they didn't know that the other pieces were worth more.  
      B. Probably because they had received an order for the prints that they took.  
      C. Because they didn't have enough time. 
      D. Because they were in such a hurry that they couldn’t get them all.  
      58. How many people were in the museum during the robbery?  
      A. A lot. The museum was crowded.  
      B. Not too many. It was almost empty.  
      C. There were a lot of people outside the museum.  
      D. Only three of them.  
      59. According to the passage, which of the followings is TRUE? 
      A. In December, "Portrait of Suzanne Bloch" and "O Lavrador de Cafe" painted by Candido Portinari were stolen.  
      B. There are steel doors and no detectors in Sao Paulo Museum of Art.  
      C. Three robbers defeated three armed museum guards and took away the works on Thursday. 
      D. Three suspects in the first high-profile art theft in less than a year were arrested.
