David was a small boy in ragged (破旧的)clothes. I had often 43 what kind of home life David had, and what kind of mother could send her son to school dressed so 44 for the cold winter months, without a coat, boots or gloves. But something made David 45 . I can still remember he was always 46 a smile and willing to help. He always 47 after school to straighten chairs and sweep the floor. We never talked much. He 48 just simply smile and ask what else he could do, then thank me for letting him stay and slowly 49 home. Weeks passed and the 50 over the coming Christmas grew into restlessness(骚动不安)until the last day of 51 before the holiday break. I smiled in relief as the last of them 52 out of the door. Turning around, I saw David 53 standing by my desk. “I have something for you,” he said and 54 from behind his back a small box. 55 it to me, he said anxiously, “Open it.” I took it over from him, thanked him and slowly unwrapped it. I lifted the lid and to my 56 saw nothing. I looked at David’s smiling face and back into the box and said, “The box is nice, David, but it’s 57 .” “Oh no, it isn’t,” said David, “It’s full of love. My mum told me before she died that love is something you can’t see or touch unless you know it’s there.” Tears filled my eyes 58 I looked at the proud dirty face that I had 59 paid attention to.

Imagining what they will look like and be able to do in 2020 is really a challenge. To help, experts have outlined three major mobile trends that they believe will have become reality by then. Our phones will be so smart in 10 years’ time that they’ll know everything about our situation and warn us when something needs our attention. This is the top prediction of both Nokia and Google. They predict that our cars and home appliances will be able to communicate with our mobile. For example, fridges will tell your mobile to tell you to pick up milk on the way back from work. While driving, your mobile will suggest that you take a different route because there’s a road accident up ahead. The second trend is in gesture-based controls. People who know the iPhone’s touch --- sensitive screen are already familiar with the technology. It translates hand movements into actions on-screen. But gestural communications will make the phone more convenient to use and may completely replace touchpads. According to industry insiders, the most immediate step forward in gestural technology will be in voice recognition. It’s believed voice recognition technology will speed up communications. It is quicker to speak than type. Eventually, phone screens will disappear. The third major development will change our understanding of a mobile phone. From a single phone, the mobile will be developed into multi-part devices. It is opposite to the current trend in which mobile phones are combining the functions of cameras, music players and game consoles. The prediction is based on the idea that the world will become more wireless and all these --- cameras, music players and game consoles --- will be wirelessly connected. Mobile phones won’t need to contain these devices because users will be able to control them wirelessly through their phones. 61. The first paragraph serves as . A. a lead-in B. a conclusionC. a summary D. a supporting fact 62. Which of the following is most likely to be the appearance of a mobile phone in 2020? 63. From the text, we can learn that the future mobile phones will . A. drive cars for us B. be controlled by the users’ voices C. be controlled by home appliances D. be very big together with separated multiple parts 64. The text mainly tells us . A. three major trends of mobile phones B. what mobile phones will look like in 2020 C. the future mobile phones are gesture-based D. some new functions of the present mobile phones 65. The writer’s attitude towards the development of mobile phone is _______. A. worriedB. positive C. concernedD. nervous B NOT all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences in nightmares. Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly wipe out, the effect of painful memories. In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are wiped out. They are not sure to what degree people’s memories are affected.
