26、   One thing the army did well was keep you busy but I was lucky enough to get some time off. They asked me where I wanted to go and there was only one place I had in mind...Ireland. Wouldn’t you want to go back home? Yes of course but I wanted to visit a person that I hadn’t seen for a long time. This person was an extremely close friend. That didn’t even begin to describe the relationship I had with her. She had her heart set on going out of the country for college and I supported her 100%. When I told her I wanted to join the army, she wasn’t exactly excited, but when I explained that school wasn’t for me and I wanted to see the world while also being in the service, she understood.

I left for the camp in the late months of summer. I knew that the day had come and this might be the last time I’d seen her. I wasn’t ready for it. Neither was she. She drove me to the airport, helped me check in, and got ready to leave. Then she stood at the bottom of the stairs and I was going to go up. Cry didn’t fully grasp the idea of what happened, but there was definitely lots of crying. When I finally got there, I took one look back and saw that big shining smile of hers, shedding my last tear.

That was the last time but now I was on a plane to meet her, in an airport, in Ireland. I knew nothing about the place except that it was green. I was still dressed in my fatigues (军服) as required. The probably native Irish people gave me a thank-you nod. Even though I didn’t wear their flag, they knew I was keeping them safe.

As I got off the plane, I couldn’t help asking myself. What if she didn’t recognize me? What if she wasn’t here? What if what if what if? That’s all I could tell myself on the way to get my bag. When I had my bag I started to walk towards the stairs. I stopped at the top and asked myself the last time, what if? Then I went down the stairs, looking around, nervous, but also scared. Then I saw it — that big shining smile that left me years ago, and it was staring right back at me.

【1】How did the girl feel at first when she heard the writer would join the army?

A.Ashamed. B.Excited. C.Disappointed. D.Nervous.

【2】What does the writer try to show in Paragraph 2?

A.How sad he was to leave the girl. B.How eager he was to see the girl soon.

C.How happy the girl was to see him off. D.How unwilling he was to join the army.

【3】Why does the writer use so many “what if”s in Paragraph 4?

A.To show his regret about meeting the girl.

B.To show his doubt about their relationship.

C.To show his concern for the girl’s condition.

D.To show his curiosity about the girl’s looks.

【4】What will the writer probably write about in the following paragraph?

A.His pride in serving in the army. B.His fond memories with the girl.

C.His romantic meeting with the girl. D.His impression of the native Irish.

27、   The terms “supper” and “dinner” can be used pretty interchangeably, but “dinner” is typically used more often. However, if someone says one or the other, most people will know they're referring to the last meal of the day. But we came across some shocking news: they're not the same thing after all—and if your grandparents or parents used the term “supper,” there's a good chance your ancestors were farmers.

In the 18th and early 19th centuries, Americans regularly ate a light supper as their evening meal because they were eating dinner—the biggest meal of the day—around noon,” food historian Helen Zoe Veit said. The purpose of eating their biggest meal at noontime was that farmers would have more strength and energy to get through the rest of their workday, the English Language & Usage Stack Dictionary confirms, “dinner” doesn't necessarily refer to a specific time of day It simply means the main meal of the day. “Supper,” however, stems from the Old French word “souper,” meaning “evening meal”.

So what changed? Eating the biggest meal of the day around noon started to become a thing of the past when more Americans began working away from their homes and farms. “They couldn't readily return home to cook and eat in the middle of the day,” says Veit. And so, more and more people shifted their main meal of the day to the evening, when they could spend more time enjoying their food and spending' time with their family.

Today, you might notice that the term “supper” is more commonly used in Southern and Midwestern states, probably due to those regions haring a greater reliance on agriculture than Northern states and thus having more ancestors who were farmers.

【1】What do we know about “supper” and “dinner” from the text?

A．Supper is more frequent than dinner.

B．The difference remains in eastern-western states.

C．They can indicate family origins.

D．It makes no sense to tell them apart.

【2】What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?

A．The original reference of the two terms.

B．Dinner is related to any meal during the day.

C．Introduction to the grandest meal traditionally

D．Evening meals were attached great importance to.

【3】Which word can replace the underlined word in Paragraph 2?

A．Stops.

B．Comes.

C．Disappears.

D．Benefits.

【4】What caused the changes to the words' reference?

A．Daily work.

B．Healthy diet

C．Family union

D．Official policy.

28、Mr. Brown worked in a factory of a small town. He had been there for twenty years before one day he was sent to the capital for important business. He was quite excited because he had never been there before. Before he set off, he asked his wife and three daughter if they wanted him to buy something for them in London. Mrs. Brown began to think it over and then she said she wished her husband would be able to buy a nice number for her, and so did their three daughters. As he was afraid he would forget it, he drew an umbrella on a piece of paper. To his regret, he lost it at the station.

On the train Mr. Brown sat opposite to an old woman. The woman’s umbrella was so nice that he carefully looked at it and said to himself not to forget to buy a few umbrellas like it. When the train arrived at the station in London, he said good-bye to the old woman, took his bag and her umbrella and was going to get off.

“Wait a minute, sir,” shouted the old woman. “That’s my umbrella!”

Now Mr. Brown noticed that he had taken her umbrella. His face turned red at once and said in a hurry, “Oh, I’m very sorry, Madam! I didn’t mean it!”

Seven days later Mr. Brown left the capital. To his surprise, he met the old woman and sat opposite to her again. Looking at the four umbrellas, the old woman was satisfied with herself. It seems that I had a better result than the other four women.” She thought.

29、How old is “old” ?

How old is “old” ?   【1】Two hundred years ago, you were old at 35. That was the average life then. At the turn of this century, as medical knowledge advanced, the average life span(长度) increased to 45. In 1950, 70-year-olds were really old. Today, a healthy 70-year-old is looking forward to many more active years.

So, how old is old? The answer is one you’ve heard many times, from all sorts of people. “You are as old (or young) as you feel!” The calendar(日历) simply tells you how many years you have lived.   【2】

Once an unknown author wrote , “ 【3】Nobody grows old by living a number of years; people grow old by giving up their goals.”

【4】Alice Brophy, when she was with the New York City commission for the Aging, said, “It upsets me when people say, ‘Gee, you look young for your age!’ What does that mean? Is there some model that you’re supposed to look a certain way at 65 and 75 and 85? You know you can die old at 30 and live young at 80.”

There are many wrong ideas about aging.   【5】Here are some of the more common ones. For example, most older people are in poor health, or older people are unable to change.

A．Old is a point of view.

B．It’s extremely terrible to be grown old.

C．The answer has changed over the years.

D．Your body tells you how well you’ve lived.

E．Older people are stubborn, unable to change.

F．Youth is not a time of life but it is a state of mind.

G．These ideas stereotype (固化) people on the basis of age.
