26、It was Mother's Day, but I knew there would be no celebration for me. I was a mother of a very active two-year-old and my husband was a Captain of a Navy ship. That morning I had been up early and had already taken several phone calls from both Navy wives and other people needing to be comforted. After one phone call, I leaned back in my chair, and said, "Dear God, I am hustling to be a blessing to others, but what about me? Is there anything for me today? "

At that very moment the telephone rang. It was the voice of a little girl who said, "Miss Stephanie, I've been thinking of you! " It took my breath away! I had known this girl from another city, but at that moment it was to me the voice of God! I greatly valued the thoughtfulness of the little one and her family who knew my husband was out. But even greater than their kindness, I felt deeply touched by the timing of the call and felt that precious voice spoke to me of God's great love for me.

There have been many Mother's Days since that one, but none so special, so deeply moving, so tenderly comforting. I will never forget the feel of knowing how loved I was, and that I would never be forgotten.

In the United States and elsewhere, Mother's Day has become synonymous with lots of human expectations. If we're not careful, the fulfillment of these cliches can become a false standard for feeling loved, and a heavy burden on our family. When I think of that Mother's Day long ago, tears come to my eyes, but not out of sadness. I rejoice in the profound love and caring I felt and still feel to this day. This experience helps me see that love hugs everyone, and that makes my heart sing for us all!

【1】How did the writer feel after comforting others on Mother's Day?

A．Comfortable.

B．Disappointed.

C．Anxious.

D．Energetic.

【2】Why was the call on that Mother's Day unforgettable?

A．Because she was a single mother.

B．Because she didn't expected the call.

C．Because she began to know how loved she was.

D．Because she hadn't received any call that morning.

【3】What conclusion can we draw from the last paragraph?

A．The writer was always moved to tears on every Mother's Day.

B．Mother's Day has become not so important in the United States.

C．The fulfillment of human expectations will never be a heavy burden.

D．That Mother's Day long ago had a positive influence on the writer's life.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the passage?

A．A Call from a Little Girl

B．A Memorable Mother's Day

C．God's Great Love for Everyone

D．A Mother's Day Long Time Ago

28、Time to load up some popular games: new research indicates pigs have the mental capability to play video games. The study, published in Frontiers in Psychology, tested the ability of four pigs (Hamlet, Omelette, Ebony and Ivory) to play a simple joystick (操纵杆) game with their noses, moving a cursor (光标) to four targets on the screen. Although the animals didn’t show the skills to win a round any time, they did show an understanding of some simple games. Performing well not by chance, the pigs appeared to recognize that the movement of the cursor was controlled by the joystick. The fact that they did so well although they didn’t have flexible fingers is “extraordinary”, according to the researchers.

That pigs can do this should give us pause about what else they are capable of learning and how such learning may influence them,” said Purdue University’s Dr Candace Croney, the study’s lead author.

Researchers also noted that while the pigs could be taught to play the game using food as positive motivation, they also responded well to social interaction. In fact, when the game was made more challenging and the pigs became unwilling to participate in it, “only encouraging words from the experimenter” would make the pigs continue their training.

These findings are the latest to highlight the intelligence and learning abilities of pigs. Not only have they been shown to use mirrors to find hidden food, but studies have also shown how pigs can be taught to “come” and “sit” after oral commands.

As with any sentient (有感觉力的) beings, how we interact with pigs and what we do to them influences and matters to them. We therefore have a duty to further understand how pigs get information and what they are capable of learning and remembering, because this may help them understand their interactions with us and their environments.

【1】What can be learned from Paragraph 1?

A．The pigs knew a lot about the video games.

B．The pigs operated joysticks with their noses.

C．The pigs competed with each other in the games.

D．The pigs sometimes performed well by chance.

【2】What made researchers believe pigs socially interacted well?

A．Their being inspired by human words.

B．Their being driven by food.

C．Their being willing to keep trying.

D．Their being stopped by challenges.

【3】Which of the following statement is true according to the passage?

A．Pigs can’t play video games for lack of flexible fingers.

B．When playing games, pigs can win a round at any time.

C．The research suggests that pigs are very friendly animals.

D．When games are difficult, pigs are unwilling to play them.

【4】What will researchers probably focus on in the next stage of their experiment ?

A．How pigs learn to play challenging games.

B．How pigs improve their learning ability.

C．How pigs manage to get information.

D．How pigs adapt to their living environment.

29、   When someone moves into the neighborhood, it’s a good opportunity to make a friend. 【1】. So making the first move will be a welcome gesture.

【2】.

Make the first step by paying a visit to your neighbors. Make your visit brief at first, just a few minutes, so you don’t completely overwhelm（压倒，淹没） them in the beginning. Once you break the ice, conversations will be easier to go forward. Your neighbors will tend to ask you for things about the area, get restaurant suggestions, or just gossip about their day, 【3】. They’ll want to know about some new children in the neighborhood they can play with, too.

【4】.

Offer to show them around your area by pointing out the grocery stores, playgrounds and restaurants. This is an especially good option for inward individuals, who can enjoy the conversation when you introduce your neighborhood. End your tour with a stop at the coffee shop, where you can buy them a cup of coffee before heading home.

Invite them to a community event.

【5】? This will help you welcome the new people and anyone else you haven’t connected with yet in your neighborhood. You can do this by having a block party or inviting them to a community event, a farmers’ market, a library sale, or something similar.

A．Have dinner with them

B．Give them a walking tour

C．Introduce yourself and say hello

D．If you have kids, be sure to bring them along

E．Some people feel comfortable inviting new people over for a home-cooked meal

F．Your neighbors will want to get acquainted (熟识的) with everyone and even the whole new community

G．What can be a better way to get closer to your neighbors than by inviting them to an event.
