There are a few memories from our childhood that will stay with us forever. A few that seemed so    36   at the time may cause us to smile years later.
One such memory is a phone call I    37   when I was about three or four years old. My mother had entered a contest on a local    38   show. Entrants(参加者)were to tell an interesting story about their    39  . Winners would receive a phone call from Mrs. Santa Claus(女圣诞老人)! Mrs. Claus would award(奖励) the lucky child free    40   of a local store.
Well, the call came. My mother talked to Mrs. Claus and then    41   the phone to me. I didn’t    42   the fact that many people were listening to our conversation. However, the fact that this lady had a    43   connection to Santa, that was important.
I didn’t know it yet, but my mother had    44   the attention of the contest judges by telling about the time I had    45   a wall with crayons(蜡笔). Even I knew that this was not the kind of    46   that Santa would approve.
Suddenly, in a very pleasant tone(语气)of    47  , Mrs. Santa Claus asked me about my art work. I    48   that this lady was the real Mrs. Claus, not a radio station actress standing in for her.
I    49   down the phone and ran crying from the room. My crime(罪行)had not    50   unpunished. Santa would    51   know that I’d been bad!
It turned out that I did get a    52   present from the radio station and its sponsor(赞助商). And I guess Santa didn’t find out about the wall. Maybe he did and was in a    53   mood. In any case, my Christmas presents did not    54   a piece of coal(煤).
I wonder what Santa has in    55   for this year. Hopefully my wife hasn’t written Mrs. Claus any letters.

举一反三
My life as a ‘runner’ began by running in a playground near my home in order to lose weight about 2 years ago. As time went by, I found myself so good at running that sometimes, I even forgot how many rounds I ran around the playground.
Thanks to all this practice, I was able to win the 5th place in short course marathon game at ‘BASF Yeosu Site Athletic Competition’ held in October 2002. This event inspired(鼓舞)me to take part in public short-course marathon games such as 10km, 20km and half-course competitions. Finally, in May 2003, I was able to complete a full course (路线) marathon for the first time of my life. My next challenge was the Boston Marathon race, which is the world"s oldest and most famous marathon races. To qualify for the Boston Marathon, one should meet the designated time standard of their age group at a certified marathon. So I took part in ChunCheon Marathon in Korea. I had to finish the full coursewithin 3 hours and 30 minutes to meet the time standard for my age group (45 to 49 years old). But to my pleasant surprise, I recorded 3 hours 22 minutes, which is 25 minute faster than my previous best record!
In April 2004, I was finally able to go to Boston. I was very pleased and proud because I could play a role to promote BASF all across the world through this sport. And it really happened! When I ran in the Boston Marathon wearing BASF logo(标记), people along the streets rooted for me shouting ‘BASF! BASF!’. I was very touched and so proud of my company. Of course I completed the full course successfully. After the game, I was interviewed by Korean local newspapers and had an opportunity to appear on several TV shows, which helped me to promote BASF in the community.
小题1:The author first began running in order to ______.
A.build up his strengthB.prepare for a marathon race
C.lose weightD.train for a sport meet
小题2: From the passage we can learn that BASF is ______.
A.a companyB.a book
C.a piece of sports equipmentD.a city
小题3:We learn from the passage that the author is NOW______.
A.in his thirtiesB.in his late forties
C.in his twentiesD.in his fifties

The World"s Largest Insect
This giant insect can be used as a toy.
A child ties one end of a string to a stick and the other end around the "neck" of an insect. Holding the stick, the child lets the insect go. With a loud whirring sound, the insect takes off, pulling the string in a large curve over the child"s head. The child laughs as the stick jumps around. The child is African, and the toy is the African Goliath beetle, the largest insect in the world.
The Goliath is a true insect because it has six legs and a body that is divided into three parts. Like all beetles, it has two pairs of wings. The front pair are thick and stiff and protect the back pair, which are soft. It is these soft back wings that make the beetle fly forward. They also cause the loud whirring sound the beetle makes when it flies. To steer, the beetle twists and turns its legs the same way you steer a bike by turning its front wheel.
African children often use the Goliath beetle as a toy. Although it is over 15 centimeters long, it is quite harmless.
小题1:The African Goliath beetle is _______. 
A.the world"s largest insect
B.a toy used in many parts of the world
C.the only insect found in Africa
D.the world"s smallest insect
小题2:What made the whirring sound that the child heard?
A.The curved string. B.The beetle"s soft wings.
C.The beetle"s six legs. D.The beetle"s body.
小题3: We know the Goliath beetle is a true insect because it _______. 
A.makes a whirring sound when it fliesB.has both soft and hard wings
C.has six legs and a body with three parts D.can fly
小题4:When flying, the Goliath steers by_______. 
A.turning its soft back wings
B.twisting and turning its hard front wings
C.twisting and turning its legs
D.twisting and turning its whole body

Swedish master medical photographer Lennart Nilsson is a pioneer in medical photography.In association with researchers and with the help of advanced, specially designed equipment, he has documented the inside of man down to the level of a cell with his camera.
Born in Strängnäs, a satellite city of Stockholm, in 1922, Nilsson got his first camera from his father when he was 11 years old.From the early stage, he has been interested in looking at ants and taking photos of them.Throughout the years, he has devoted special attention to capturing the creation of a human being, from conception to birth.
In 2006 when his photo book Life was published in both Swedish and English, he was invited to give a lecture at the Stockholm bookstore.He vividly described to the public how he took the photos so that the development process of the embryo can be understood better.Finally when he was signing his name in the book, I asked him what made him so passionate about working on this, he stopped writing and thought for a second, “I think it is the respect for life,” Nilsson said.
Nilsson began his career as a photographic journalist in the middle of the 1940s and published a number of photo-essays in Swedish and foreign magazines, including "Polar Bear Hunting in Spitzbergen" (1947) and Midwife.
“When I went to the professor to take the embryo photo, I was looking around and then I saw something which was unbelievable, it was a tiny human embryo lies in a very special place, a 10-20 millimeter embryo with hands, arms and eyes, and I got a shock,” Nilsson said.
Nilsson began experimenting with new photographic techniques in the mid-1950s to report on the world of ants and life in the sea.His revealing macro-studies were published in his book on ants, Myror (1959), and in the Life in the Sea (1959), and in Close to Nature (1984).In the 1960s special designed, very slim endoscopes (内窥镜))made it possible for him to photograph the blood vessels and the cavities (空洞) of the body with the necessary depth of field and, in 1970, he used a scanning electron microscope for the first time, he was also considered the pioneer for three dimension digital pictures of the body organs.
After his photographs of human embryo were published, he was encouraged to continue photographing the origins of human being.
Nilsson is very modest and sincere.At age of nearly 88, he is still cooperating with colleagues in Karolinska Institute where the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine is selected every year.
“He can forget all the other things when he is working and he is still working diligently,” Mrs Nilsson told People’s Daily Online.
小题1:Why does Nilsson want to document the creation of a human being?
A.Because he is a pioneer in medical photography.
B.Because he has been interested in taking photos.
C.Because he thinks it a way to show respect for life.
D.Because he wished to win a Nobel Prize.
小题2:What can we learn from the passage?
A.Nilsson was the only expert in medical photography.
B.Nilsson’s camera is specially designed.
C.Nilsson’s photo book Life is better received than his other books.
D.Nilsson has always been working alone.
小题3:How many books written by Nilsson are mentioned in this passage?
A.3.B.4.C.5.D.6.
小题4:Which of the following word can Not be used to describe Nilsson?
A.Passionate.B.Devoted.C.Forgetful.D.Dillgent.
小题5:What can be the title for the passage?
A.Nilsson, a pioneer medical photographer.
B.Nilsson, a pioneer medical publisher
C.Nilsson, a person of rich experience
D.Nilsson, a talented photographer
