Chris bought the camera drone for his business at first. About one month ago, when his daughter Katie decided to walk to school.by herself, he had a good idea of using the camera drone to follow Katie.

“I could see other amazed people looking up and I'm sure Katie must be thinking ‘Er, it's my dad'," Chris said to a reporter from a local TV. “It is a good way to keep an eye on her. I let her know that I'm always caring for her."

However, Katie said that at first she never knew what her father did for her. “He didn't tell me, So I was pretty surprised when I knew it. Anyway, I thank my dad very much," the girl smiled and said.

25、   This Friday, across the US, kids are going to work with their parents instead of going to school. They can help their parents do some cleaning, send e-mails and etc. Because April 28 is Take Our Sons and Daughters to Work Day all over the US.

I still remember when this day started, I was very happy. But after only 40 minutes of driving around the city, I was very bored. I couldn't read my book in the car as I would get carsick（晕车）and my dad didn't like to turn on the radio. I got hot and uncomfortable. People wouldn't get into his taxi because they thought he already had a passenger: me--so nothing happened. It seemed years before we went out for lunch. In fact, I started to miss the school.

Although the purpose of the day is to give kids a chance to experience possible jobs in the future, I got something completely different from the day. I learned to value school life. Where else can you play with your friends, do science experiments and read great books all in one day?

You'll have to learn to love your job later in life, so learn to love school now. If you don't, try spending the day at work with your dad.

【1】Take Our Sons and Daughter to Work Day is celebrated on April 28 in the UK.

【2】The writer's father was probably a taxi driver.

【3】In fact, the day for the writer was not as interesting as she had expected.

【4】The writer experienced different jobs on that day.

【5】The writer tried to tell us to value school life now.

26、I was born in Ireland and lived there until I was nineteen years old. I came to New York in 1956. At first, I held several jobs to earn a few dollars. Later, to live a better life, I bought my own taxi. Till now, I’ve been in the taxi business for thirty-five years. I know there is a lot about taxi drivers that is not so good. Because of this, people get the wrong impression (印象) that they are bad.   

In fact, taxi drivers are just like other honest people. You can read in the papers almost every week where a taxi driver turns in money or jewels people leave in their cars. One time in Brooklyn, I found a ring in my car. I remembered helping a lady with a lot of bags that day, so I went back to the store where I had dropped her off. It took me almost two days to look for her in order to return the ring. I didn’t get as much as “Thank you”. Still, I felt good because I had done what was right.   

In all my years of driving a taxi, I have never had any trouble with the public because I always try to be nice to everyone. I try to be honest towards others. I have been trying this for a long time, and the longer I try, the easier it gets. I believe honesty is one of the greatest gifts. It’s something that makes a man a good guy. This is also my way to live by.

【1】The writer came to New York ________.

A．for 35 years

B．for 45 years

C．in 1956

D．since he was 20

【3】________ is the most important according to the passage.

D．Honesty

27、in the blanks with proper words.

We have heard about people who have special memories. Recently there has been a report about a woman from Australia who can remember almost every single d 【1】  of all the events in her daily life.

Rebecca Sharrock, 25, is one of just 80 people worldwide who have been identified as having Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory(超级自传体记忆症). It means she can remember every small event—which most people would f   【2】 within days—as if it had happened just moments ago.

“I remember my mum placing me in the driver’s seat of a car and taking a picture of me when I was

twelve years old,” she said. “That’s my e  【3】  memory. I remember every day since then. I can’t tell all the dates e 【4】  because I was too young to understand calendars, but I remember what I did that day, what the weather was like and so on.”

Rebecca can also re-experience taste. If she’s eating something unpleasant, she thinks about Black Forest cake, her favorite food, and the memory will be so 【5】p   that she can nearly “taste” it.

However, there are times when her memories prove to be painful as it’s not just events that she remembers. “When I relive(再体验) memories, the feelings r   【6】   ,too.” Rebecca said. “For example, I remember falling over when I was three at my grandparents’ house and hurting my left knee. Talking about it now, I feel painful in my left knee.”

“At night, I have to sleep with the r 【7】  and a soft light on,” she added. “If it’s too dark or quiet, my mind would be filled with all those memories and I can’t sleep.”

28、根据下列语篇以及所给单词的首字母写出所缺单词。在填写答题卡时、要求写出完整单词。（每空只写一词）

For many years, British people have been suggested eating at least “five-a-day”-that is five kinds of fruits or vegetables every day in order to i【1】 their health and reduce illness and cancer.

However, this has been found to be untrue, according to a new scientific study.

The suggestion was first put forward in 1990 by the World Health Organization. It said that the “five-a-day”diet could p【2】 50% of cancer and other chronic diseases（慢性病）. Since the people in many developed countries have taken the a【3】, such as the UK, where the people eat a lot of unhealthy food.

However, a study of 500, 000 Europeans from 10 different countries proves that the key to a【4】 cancers is to have a healthy lifestyle which includes not smoking or drinking a lot of alcohol, taking exercise and not being too fat. Eating more fruit and vegetables can only reduce 2.5% of cancers.

But doctors have spoken out to remind people that diet is i【5】 in staying healthy, and that even a 2.5% reduction in cancers is sill a great step.

Cancer Research UK said, “It’s still a good idea to eat your ‘five-a-day’, but remember that fruits and vegetables are not enough to keep you away from cancer.”
