The next morning when I 24 my bed after breakfast, I 25 found a return note under my pillow. Mother wrote that she loved me and 26 me.
This became my way of apologizing whenever I talked 27 or disobeyed. Mother always left a return note, but she never 28 our under-the-pillow messages in front of the family. Even when we were 29 and when we sisters

Growing up together across the street in Twin Falls, Idaho, Lisa Fry and Paula Turner never doubted their friendship would last forever. But after Fry married, moved to New York City and had a baby, her letters to Turner suddenly went unanswered. “Do you think I’ve somehow offended(冒犯) her?” Fry asked her husband.
Turner, meanwhile, had made herself believe she was no longer important to Fry. “She’s got a family now,” she told herself. “We’re just too different to be close like before.”
Finally, Fry picked up the courage to call her old friend. At first, the conversation was awkward, yet soon they both admitted that they missed each other. A month later, they got together and quickly fell into their old habit of laughing and sharing confidences.
“Thank goodness I finally took action,” Fry says. “We both realized we were as important to each other as ever.”
There are good reasons to cherish(珍惜) our friendships. Some years ago a public-opinion research agency, Roper Starch Worldwide, asked 2007 people to identify one or two things that said the most about themselves. Friends are put in a higher place than homes, jobs, clothes and cars.
“A well-established friendship carries a long history of experience and interaction that defines who we are and keeps us connected,” says Donald Pannen, a researcher. “It is a heritage(传统) we should protect.”
Brant R. Burleson, professor of communication at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind., says, “The better friends you are, the more probable it’ll be for you to face conflicts.” And the result can be what you don’t want—an end to the relationship.
The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended.
36. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. A Broken Friendship B. Cherish Friendship
C. What are Good Friends? D. How to Make Friendship Last Long?
37. The underlined word “awkward” in Para. 3 probably means _______.
A. feeling nervous and uncomfortable B. seeming not to care
C. feeling easy and convenient D. seeming calm and comfortable
38. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Lisa Fry and Paula Turner believed their friendship wouldn’t last forever.
B. Turner didn’t reply to Fry’s letters because she was too busy.
C. People all think friends are far more important than homes, jobs, clothes and cars.
D. Lisa Fry and Paula Turner misunderstood each other at first.
39. What do you think the author will talk about next?

In an interview, England football captain Beckham admitted his six-year-old son Brooklyn’s maths homework made him befuddled.
Beckham, 30, admitted to being puzzled when Brooklyn recently asked for help with a school assignment and had to turn to his former Spice Girls pop star wife Victoria to help out.
“Their homework is so hard these days. I sat down with Brooklyn the other day, and I had to turn it over to my wife, ‘Victoria, maybe you should do the homework tonight.’ ”
“It’s done totally differently from what I was taught when I was at school, and you know, I could do nothing but ‘Oh my God, I can’t do this.’”
“Brooklyn said, ‘Please do it with me.’ and I could say anything else but ‘I’ll read your book with you.’”
The Real Madrid midfielder’s son attends the Runnymede College in the Spanish capital, which follows the British national curriculum(标准).
The Mail on Sunday gave examples of some national curriculum maths questions set for seven-year-olds. They include: “Betty went to the shop at 11:45. She came back half an hour later. What time did she come back?” and “What is 12 divided by three?”
Beckham also admitted he has no “lucky” pre-match routines (fixed and regular way of doing things), with them too being tough to remember. “I find that if I follow a routine ... it gets to the stage where you are thinking, ‘Right, is it the left side ... the left boot that I put on first, or the right side?’ There are so many things that can go through your mind.”

Municipal(市政府的) rules normally ban(禁止) anything from smoking in public places to parking in certain zones. But officials in the Brazilian town of Biritiba Mirim, 70km (45 miles) east of Sao Paulo, have gone far beyond that. They plan to forbid residents from dying early because the local cemetery(墓地) has reached full capacity.
There’s no more room to bury the dead. They can’t be cremated(火化) and laws forbid a new cemetery. So the mayor has proposed a strange solution: outlaw death. Mayor Roberto Pereira says the bill is meant as a protest against federal rules that forbid new or expanded cemeteries in preservation areas. “They have not taken local demands into consideration”, he says.
A 2003 decree (法令) by Brazil’s National Environment Council forbids burial grounds in protected areas. Mr. Pereira wants to build a new cemetery, but the project has been stopped because 98% of Biritiba Mirim is considered a preservation area.
Biritiba Mirim, a town of 28,000 inhabitants, not only wants to forbid residents from passing away. The bill also calls on people to take care of their health in order to avoid death. “I haven’t got a job, nor am I healthy. And now they say I can’t die. That’s ridiculous,” Amarildo do Prado, an unemployed resident said.
The city council is expected to vote on the rule next week. “Of course the bill is laughable, illegal, and will never be approved,” said Gilson Soares de Campos, an assistant to the mayor. “But can you think of a better resolution to persuade the government to change the environmental decree that is forbidding us from building a new cemetery?” The bill states that “offenders will be responsible for their acts”. However, it does not say what the punishment will be.
52. What is the bill to be proposed by the officials in Biritiba Mirim about?
A. Ban on smoking in public places.
B. Ban on parking in certain zones.
C. Forbidding residents from dying early.
D. Forbidding burial grounds in preservation.
53. What can we infer from the phrase “have gone far beyond that”?
A. Officials in Biritiba Mirim have nothing of these rules.
B. The bill to be proposed by officials in Biritiba Mirim is much too unerpected.
C. Officials in Biritiba Mirim have been to many places around the world.
D. The officials in Biritiba Mirim have built too many cemeteries in their town.
54. What’s the attitude of the mayor of Biritiba Mirim towards the federal rules?
A. He objects to them.
B. He gives strong backing to them.
C. He asks the residents for advice on them.
D. He remains silent about them.
55. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The mayor of the town wants to build a new cemetery against the federal rule.
B. The residents of the town sing high praise for the bill.
C. The government is going to change the environmental decree.
D. No better resolution of the problems has been thought out.
