After the board meeting, Frank began to tell us of his childhood. "I grew up in San Pedro. My dad was a fisherman and had his own 36 . But it was hard making a living on the sea. He worked hard and would stay out until he 37 enough to feed the family."
He looked at us and said, "I 38 you could have met my dad. He was a big man and strong from pulling the nets and fighting the seas for his catch. When you got close to him, he 39 like the ocean. He would wear his old canvas, foul-weather coat and overalls with the rain hat 40 down over his brow. No matter how much my mother washed them, they would still smell of the sea and of fish."
Frank's voice 41 a bit as if he were back to his childhood. "When the weather was bad he would drive me to school. His truck was older than he was, which you could hear coming for 42 . As he would drive toward the school, I would shrink down into the seat hoping to 43 ."
"When the truck stopped, it would throw out a cloud of smoke. He would pull right up in front, and it seemed like 44 would be standing around and watching. Then he would 45 and give me a big kiss on the cheek and tell me to be a good boy. It was so 46 for me at that time."
He paused and then went on, "I 47 that day I decided I was too old for a goodbye kiss. When we got to the school, he had his 48 big smile. He started to lean toward me, 49 I put my hand up and said, 'No, Dad."
"It was the first time I had ever talked to him that way, and he had this 50 look on his face. My dad looked at me for the longest time, and his eyes started to tear 51 . I had never seen him cry. He turned and looked out of the windshield. 'You are right, 'he said, 'You are a big boy --a man. I won't kiss you any more. '"
Frank got a funny look on his face, and tears began to well up in his eyes as he spoke. "It wasn't long 52 that when my dad went to sea and never came back. It was a day when most of the fleet stayed 53 but not dad."
I looked at Frank and saw that tears were running down his cheeks. Frank spoke again, "Guys, you don't know 54 I would give to have my dad give me just one more kiss on the cheek ... If I had been a 55 , I would never have told my dad I was too old for a goodbye kiss."

Baranda Historic Society
Mr Tim Benton PO Box 22
55 Hillview Terrace Baranda, NSW 2526
Bellevue Hill NSW 2023
Dear Mr Benton,
Baranda Historic Society (BHS) has recently restored a slab hut (板条木屋)which we believe was built by your great-grandfather, Mr George Bentonin the early 1880s. The hut is on the Old Wattle Road, 10 kilometres from Baranda in central New South Wales.
In August there was an article in the Baranda Times about the restoration of the hut. BHS asked if anyone had any information about the original owners of the hut and about any living relatives. We were flooded with responses. As a result, we have already found several of Mr George Benton's descendents (后代).
BHS is officially opening the slab hut on Saturday October 28th. We would be very honoured if you and your family would attend the opening followed by a barbecue lunch. We would also love to hear any stories you know about the hut's history. We have invited many of your relatives as you can see from the list enclosed. We would appreciate it if you could let us know of any relative not on the list. I also enclose a copy of the newspaper article and a photo of the slab hut.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely
Eva Catania

B
Norah has a cottage on a cliff above a big bay. In winter it could be very dirty because of strong winds and sea spray. In fact, when a gale (大风) was blowing, Norah and her husband got used to sleeping in a small room downstairs, because their bedroom upstairs, which faced the gales, had a very big window, and they were afraid that an extra violent gust might break it and blow pieces of broken glass over them.
Also, the salt spray from the sea put an end to many of the colorful plants Norah planted in the garden. She tried putting up a fence to protect them, but the wind just hit it, went up over the top and then down the other side, so in the end she filled the garden with trees and bushes that liked salt.
But most of the summer Norah enjoyed her cottage and garden very much. At weekends she could sit out-of-doors in the sun, looking at the beautiful view, with interesting ships and boats passing by, and she could very easily cycle down to the sea for a swim.
Now, Norah and her husband had plenty of friends and relations. In the summer lots of them used to come to enjoy the beautiful place, and in the end it really became quite annoying for Norah and her husband. When they were at home, they found friends and relations arriving, expecting to be given unlimited drinks and meals, and to sit in the sun for hours, talking as if Norah and her husband had nothing else to do but entertain and listen to them.
This went on for several years. Norah did no wish to appear rude by refusing to let her friends and relations in, but on the other hand, she was getting tired every summer.
Then one day Norah was complaining about this to her hairdresser while she was doing her hair. "You're disturbed by too many uninvited guests, are you?" said the hairdresser. "Why don't you try my way of escaping?"
"What's that? " asked Norah.
"Well," the hairdresser answered, "when the bell rings, I put on my coat and take my shopping bag. If it's someone I don't want to see, I say innocently, 'I'm sorry, but I've got to go out. But... '"

61. We can infer that _________.

D. Norah was a good cook
62. The best title for the passage might be _________.

What do we think with? Only the brain? Hardly. The brain is like a telephone exchange. It is the switchboard, but not the whole system. Its function is to receive incoming signals, making proper connections and send messages through to their destination. For efficient service, the body must function as a whole. But where is the "mind"? Is it in the brain? Or perhaps in the nervous system? After all, can we say that the mind is in any particular place? It is not like a thing; like a leg, or even the brain. It is a function, an activity. Aristotle, 2,300 years ago, observed that the mind was to the body what cutting was to the axe.
When the axe is not in use, there is no cutting. So with the mind. "Mind", said Charles H. Woolbert, "is what the body is doing". If this activity is necessary for thinking, it is also necessary for carrying thought from one person to another. If you have never done this with great efforts, you have a surprise in store, for good conversationalists are almost constantly in motion. Their heads are continuously nodding and shaking sometimes so vigorously (精神旺盛地) that you wonder how their necks can stand the strain (过劳). Even the legs and feet are active. As for the hands and arms, they are seldom still for more than a few seconds at a time. These people, remember, are not making speeches. They are only common people trying to make others understand what they have in mind. They are not conscious of movement. Their speech is not studied. They are just human creatures in a human environment, trying to adapt themselves to a social situation. Yet they converse, not only with oral language, but with visible actions that involve practically every muscle in the body. In short, because people really think all over, a speaker must talk all over if he succeeds in making people think.
64. The best title for the passage is probably ________.
A. Body Communication B. Written Language C. Spoken Language D. Conversations
65. The statement which the author agrees with would be that ____________.
A. thinking is a social activity
B. thinking is only a brain function
C. thinking is a function of the nervous system
D. thinking is the total sum of body activity
66. It can be inferred from the passage that the basic function of bodily activity in speech is to ____________.
A. make the listener have strong feeling B. make the speaker understood
C. attract the listeners' attention D. convey the speaker's implied meaning to the listeners
67. Which of the following is true?
A. The brain is compared to a telephone exchange.
B. The mind is an activity of the nervous system.
C. Some people remain still while talking to others.
D. Many people move their bodies on purpose while talking.
D
To be sure, only children experienced some things differently from those with sisters and brothers. Many feel more pressure to succeed. They also tend to look only to their parents as role models in the absence of brothers and sisters.
In India, 10-year-old Saviraj Sankpal founded a support group for the tiny minority of only children. Among other things, the group does volunteer work to counter (反对) the myth that they are not responsible. "People think we're treated too kindly and ruined, "says Sankpal, a computer engineering student. "But I'd like to remind them how lonely it can get."
Most only children, however, say they wish for sisters or brothers only when it comes to caring for aging, unhealthy parents. Britain's David Emerson, coauthor of the book The Only Child, says that such a person bears terrible burden in having to make all the decisions alone. Emerson knows from experience: After his father died, he chose to move his elderly mother from their family home, where she was vulnerable (易受攻击的) to house breakers, to a new on
