Dear God,
Now that I am no longer young, I have friends whose mothers have passed away.I have heard
these sons and daughters say they never fully appreciated their mothers until it was too late to tell
them.
I am blessed with the dear mother who is still alive.I appreciate her more each day. My mother
does not change, but I do.As I grow older and wiser, I realize what an extraordinary person she is.
How sad that I am unable to speak these words in her presence, but they flow easily from my pen.
How does a daughter begin to thank her mother for life itself? For the love, patience and just plain
hard work that go into raising a child? For running after a toddler (学步儿童), for understanding a
moody teenager, for tolerating a college student who knows everything? For waiting for the day when
a daughter realizes what her mother really is?
How does a grown woman thank for a mother for continuing to be a mother? For being ready
with advice when asked or remaining silent when it is most appreciated? For not saying:"! told you
so", when she could have voiced these words dozens of times? For being essentially herself-loving,
thoughtful, patient, and forgiving?
I don"t know how, dear God, except to bless her as richly as she deserves(应得) and to help me
live up to the example she has set.I pray that I will look as good in the eyes of my children as my
mother looks in mine

mall. "Why need a shopping mall if you have Taobao? I am a Taobaoer," says Shi, 28, a writer in
Beijing.
A growing number of Chinese Internet users like Shi have discovered the joys of online shopping.
The China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC) announced in December that more than 87
million Chinese made purchases on the Internet in the first half year, which means one out of four
Chinese netizens have online shopping experience.
It is estimated that the consumption from online shopping will reach more than 250 billion yuan
this year, and 80 percent of this is carried out through Taobao. com, China"s fast-growing e-commerce
hub (枢纽) set up in 2003.
The biggest attraction for Shi Fang is the relatively low price for online goods, compared with those
in stores in bricks. Her favorite facial cream costs 1,680 yuan for a 30ml bottle in the local shop, but a
10ml sample of the same brand only costs 68 yuan online.
The Taobao instant messenger, a communication channel for buyers and sellers, also makes onlrne
shopping easier and ensures the overall experience for both parties Shi Fang regards it as a platform to
promote trust and keep contact.
"You can check the information easily. It is sweet that the owner will remember you once you have
regular chat with him or her through the messenger. You may receive some personalized service such
as getting more samples or certain discount," said Shi While some may question the security of online
purchases, Yang Fei, another Taobaoer, gave a thumb-up for Alipay, the Taobao payment method
started by Alibaba Group in 2004 in partnership with leading banks in China. It enabled her to make
a lot of purchases online.
"It"s very safe and convenient. Unless you confirm the arrival and satisfaction about the purchase,
the shop owner will not get the money. You can also get the refund(退款) if you want to return the
purchase," she added.
B. an Internet store where we can buy whatever we want
C. a website where people can make friends all over the country
D. a messenger through which people can bargain with each other
B. Reasonable price.
C. Rich experience.
D. Its convenience.
B. consumers won"t get any samples because of the low prices
C. consumers can communicate with sellers mainly on the phone

D. A Booming Online Shopping Hub
Throughout their history, Americans have been people on the move. The early immigrants had
to travel to get to the New World. Once they arrived, they settled along the East Coast. But they
weren"t content to stay there. 1 Later, settlers moved west to develop these new areas. As a result
of this westward migration, Americans eventually occupied the whole continent from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. Even today, Americans seem unable to stay in one place. Research says that the average
American moves every five years.
Besides their habit of changing addresses, Americans are used to traveling. Some people go to
work daily in long-distance places. __2__ Most companies provide an annual vacation for their
employees, and people often use that time to travel. Some people just visit friends or relatives in
distant states. Others go on low-budget weekend outings and stay in economy motels. Those with
more expensive tastes choose fancy resorts and hotels. 3 Some travel in vehicles to camp out in
comfort while others "rough it" by sleeping in tents.
4 Why? For one thing, it"s cheaper than traveling abroad and there"s no language problem.
Besides, America offers plenty of tourist attractions. _5_ Nature lovers can enjoy beaches, mountains,
canyons, lakes and a wealth of natural wonders. As it is, the convenience of modern freeways, railways
and airplanes makes travel in America as easy as pie.
A. Families often plan their trips with the kids in mind.
B. Most Americans prefer to travel within their nation"s borders.
C. Explorers and traders journeyed to the unknown western areas.
D. Major cities offer visitors large quantities of urban delights.
E. Many people ask traveling agencies to plan the trip for them.
F. Their jobs may even require them to take regular business trips.
G. For adventurous people, camping out in the great outdoors is appealing.
by climbing to the summit(山顶) of Pacaya for a close-up view. There are guided tours
every day up thishighly active volcano from Antigua. Giving travelers a chance to see
Mother Nature at her most powerful.
Pacaya is an easy drive from Antigua,a beautiful city with many colorful houses along its
old streets that are turned into art-works during its Holy Week festival. No matter when
you come to Antigua, you won"t miss the Pacaya-tour companies.
But climbing Pacaya is no easy job : it is 2,560metreshigh, and reaching the summit
takes two to three hours of seemingly one-step-forward and two-step-back movements.
As you climb, you hear the dull sounds of eruptions high above. Steaming, hot remains
from recent eruptions begin to line the path as you near the active summit :the
McKenney Cone (火山锥). Just as though you were going to walk over to the edge of the
cone , the road turns to the left and up to the relative safety of the old,inactive summit.
Many tours are timed so that you arrive at the cone of the volcano in plenty of time
for sunset and the full contrast between the erupting red lava(熔岩)and the daikening sky.
On a good day the view from the summit is extremely exciting. The active mouth boils ,
sending red lava over its sides, and once in a while shoots hot streams up t0 100 metres
into the air. There is a strong bad smell in the air even if you take care to be upwind of the
cone. As evening turns deeper into the night, the burning lava quietly falls down the side
of the volcano. For you , too , it is time to get down.
B. rro describe the beauty of Pacaya.
C. To introduce guided tours to Pacaya.
D. To explain the power of nature at Pacaya.
B. where the daring Pacaya tour starts
C. that gives a close-up view of Pacaya
D. that is famous for its tour companies
B. hear the continuous loud noise from above
C. make greater efforts than to other summits
D. see a path lined with remains of earlier eruptions
B. avoid the smell from the upwind direction of the cone
C. enjoy the fantastic eruption against the darkening sky
D. appreciate the scenery of the 2 ,560-metre-high mountain
How can you help kids cope with (应对) stress? Proper rest and good nutrition can boost coping
skills, so can good parenting. Make time for your kids each day. Whether they need to talk or just be
in the same room with you, make yourself available.
Even as kids get older, quality time is important. It’s really hard for some people to come home after
work, get down on the floor, and play with their kids or just talk to them about their day - especially if
they’ve had a stressful day themselves. But expressing interest in you kids shows that they’ve important
to you.
Help your child cope with stress by talking about what may be causing it. Together, you can come up
with a few solutions. For example, he should cut back on after-school activities, spending more time
talking with parents or teachers, developing an exercise plan or keeping a journal.
You can also help by predicting potentially stressful situations and preparing kids for them. For
example, let a child know ahead of time (but not too far ahead of time) that a doctor’s appointment is
coming up and talk about what will happen there. Keep in mind, though, that younger kids probably
won’t need too much advance preparation. Too much information can cause more stress.
Remember that some level of stress is normal; let kids know that it’s OK to feel angry, scared,
lonely, or anxious and that other people share those feelings.
When kids can’t or won’t discuss these issues, try talking about your own concerns. This shows
that you’re willing to handle tough topics and are available to talk with when they’re ready. If a child
shows symptoms (症状) that concern you and is unwilling to talk, consult a counselor or other mental
health experts.
Most parents have the skills to deal with their children’s stress. The time to seek professional attention
is when any change in behavior persists, when stress is causing serious anxiety, or when the behavior is
causing significant problems in functioning at school or at home.
B. To persuade parents to spend more time with kids.
C. To advise parents how to help kids deal with stress.
D. To seek different ways to help solve kids’ problems.
B. Parents being tired out.
C. Kids losing interest in parents.
D. There being too much homework.
B. it doesn’t work in practice
C. your kinds may lose interest
D. your kids don’t want to listen
B. It is normal for kids to have some stress.
C. Kids should get rid of the negative feelings.
D. Everybody feels angry, scared, lonely or anxious.
unearthed (挖掘) tiny bones that they believe belong to an entirely new human species. If that" s true,
it will change how we think about our ancestors.
Clues that the little people may have lived long ago were first revealed last year in the scientific joumal Nature. Scientists said that they had found the bones of a three-foot-tall female on the island of Flores,in
Indonesia. When they looked more closely, they saw that the nearly complete skeleton(骨骼) belonged
to a full-grown adult. Researchers named her Hobbit, after the tiny heroes of the Lord of the Rings books.
Now the team is saying it has unearthed even more pieces of the puzzle,including a jawbone and
parts of arms , legs and hands from several individuals , as well as stone tools. They reported their find
in Nature this month. " The new evidence makes it very clear that these people are a new species, distinct
from modem humans," Peter Brown, a scientist on the team, said. They named these ancient humans
Homo floresiensis.
Brown says that these little people lived as recently as 12,000 years ago. If Homo floresiensis was a
different species from modern humans,that would make our family tree bigger than we knew. It means ,
says Brown ,that " until recently , a relative shared the planet
with us. "
Many scientists think a new species is unlikely. Some argue that the bones must have belonged to
modern humans whose small size was the result of a genetic problem.
Daniel E. Lieberman , a scientist at Harvard University, thinks that the debate over the discovery
is healthy. He believes that the questions and arguments raised by critics will help us learn more about
these unusual skeletons. " Disagreement is an important part of the scientific process" , Lieberman said.
" As far as I"m concerned, the story"s only just begun. "
B. it belongs to an ancient human species
C. it resembles the tiny heroes in a set of book
D. it is a figure described in the Lord of the Rings
B. they are revealed in the scientific journal Nature
C. they are made by Peter Brown,a famous scientist
D. they might provide new evidence for human study
B. disagreement leads to further research
C. Homo floresiensis doesn"t exist on earth
D. our family tree is bigger than we knew
B. The little people in fictions.
C. Our ancestors like monkeys.
D. One of Peter Brown"s relatives.
B. Arguments Over Human Origin
C. Comparison Between Different Peoples
D. Discovery of a Possible New Human Species
