12、en you get up, you will find your most beautiful flower. ”said Mr. Rocco. I knew him to be a good honest man, so I agreed to take it.It was almost midnight when I arrived home.

13、et the plant on the table beside her bed. I wanted her to be surprised when she woke on Mothers Day. The next morning, I dressed and hurried downstairs. The sun was shining through kitchen window as I looked into Moms room. She motioned (打手势) for me to come in, then glanced over at the table where t
14、he plant was. Holy mackerel! There were three big yellow trumpet-shaped blooms. It was just like Mr. Rocco said-the most beautiful flower I ever saw! When I looked at Mom, she was smiling as tears streamed down her cheeks. She held out her hand for me to come near, then pulled me close and hugged ti

19、g green.In order to reduce air pollution and oil shortages, automobile manufacturers have announced their plans to develop hybrid vehicles (混合燃料汽车) for the Chinese market. Toyotas hybrid car Prius will be ready to drive in China this week. Lets have a look at the new car. Any vehicle is a hybrid whe
20、n it combines two or more sources of power. Hybrid cars run off a rechargeable battery and gasoline. Hybrid cars have special engines, which are smaller than traditionalgasoline engines. They run at 99 percent of their power when the car is cruising (匀速行驶). A speciallydesigned battery motor provides
21、 extra power for running up hills or when extra acceleration is needed. Step into a Prius, and turn on the engine. The first thing you notice is how much quieter it is than atraditional car. At this point, the cars gasoline engine is dormant (休眠). The electric motor will providepower until the car r
22、eaches about 24 km/h. If you stay at a low speed, you are effectively driving an electric car, with no gasoline being used, and no waste gas gives off.The onboard(车载的) computer makes the decision about when to use a gas engine, when to goelectric, and when to use a combination of the two. If you go
23、over 24 km/h, when you step on the gas pedal (油门), you are actually telling the computer how fast you want to go.The electronic motor recharges automatically using a set of batteries. When driving at high speed, the gasoline engine not only powers the car, but also charges the batteries. Any time yo
24、u use the brake, the electric motor in the wheels will work like a generator and produce electricity to recharge the batteries.As a consequence, the cars batteries will last for around 200,000 miles.25.

27、 up hills.D. They are powered by both a rechargeable battery and gasoline. CParents and kids today dress alike, listen to the same music, and are friends. Is this a good thing? Sometimes, when MR. Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, listen to rock music together and talk about interests
28、 both enjoy, such as pop culture, he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager.I would never have said to my mom, Hey, the new Weezer album is really great. How do you like it?”says Ballmer. There was just a complete gap in taste. Music was not the only distance
29、. From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectation: earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits. Today, the generation gap has not disappeared, but it is getting narrow in many families: Conversations on subjects such as sex and drugs would not hav
30、e taken place a generation ago. Now they are comfortable and common. And parent-child activities, from shopping to sports, involve feeling of trust and friendship that can continue into adulthood. No wonder greeting cards today carry the message, To my mother, my best friend.But family experts warn
31、that the new equality can also result in less respect for parent. “ Theres still a lot of strictness and authority on the part of parents out there, but there is a change happening, says Kerne, a psychology professor, at Lebanon Valley College. In the middle of that change, there is a lot of confusi
32、on among parents.Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these evolving roles and attitudes. They see the 1960s as a turning point. Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic（民主） process that encourages everyone to have a say,“My parents were on the before
33、side of that change, but todays parents. the 40-year-old were on the after side, explains Mr. Ballmer. Its not something easily accomplished by parents these days, because life is more difficult to understand or deal with, but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent now.28. Which of t

Parents and children talk more about sex and drugs.D. Parents share more interests with their children.29. The cha

37、lopment of the parent-child relationship C. suggest the ways to handle the parent-child relationship D.compare todays parent-child relationship with that in the past DThe power of humor and laugher is numerous. They entertain us and make us feel good. But, above all, we have discovered that humor an
38、d laughter are the best medicine. They relieve pain, reduce stress and anxiety, and are anti-aging and longevity facilitators. They are extremely necessary for helping us to find and maintain a balance between life and work. However, they are slipping away from us. We have become far too serious. Th
39、e only ones who still enjoy humor, laughter, fun and play to the fullest are young children. Children tend to laugh an average of 200 times a day. For adults, however, it is a totally different story.In the 1950s people laughed on average 18 times a day. Today, we are lucky if we average between 4-6
40、 times a day.As a matter of fact, a recent study found that people laugh 6 more times in the presence of one person but 30 more times in a group of people. You can get a chuckle(咯咯笑) from jokes you get on the Internet, but it is not the same as belly jiggling laughter (a deep laugh) you get when you
41、 interact with others.Socializing with friends and relatives was much looked forward to. However, this is no longer the case. In fact, the majority of people can hardly find time, nor do they have the inclination towards socializing outside home. They turn to electronic media such as television, com
42、puters, the Internet, videos, CDs, and audio equipment, which can provide them with instant self-entertainment at the push of a button.The workplace does not fare(进展) much better. Due to the pressures to produce more in the same or fewer hours available and to compete, for example, in a manufacturin
43、g field with cheaper labor elsewhere in the world, humor and laughter in the workplace have gradually eroded（逐渐毁坏） away.I have developed a real appreciation, perhaps closer to a strong desire for the power of humor and laughter. This encouraged me to write my first book titled “The Power of Humor” a
44、nd subsequently my second book titled “Kids Say the Goggonest Things” based on the natural humor, laughter, play and fun that kids experience and they freely share with parents, grandparents and teachers.From writing about humor and laughter, people start to ask me to speak up for them. To date, I h
