16．You can never imagine how big and complex the inner world of a three-year-old child is，even as a mom．Yesterday afternoon I went to（41）ANicole from her daycare center．On the way home，she looked（42）Bin the beginning，telling me about the daytime activities，while later when（43）Cand quiet came back to her，she looked tired．

On the way back，she was not as cooperative as usual．Sometimes she （48）Ato walk，but to stand in the middle of the road．Sometimes she stepped （49）Dto the grassland and tried to kick off the snow （50）Cthe bare grass could be seen．And she kept （51）Aall the way．Finally we arrived．All of a sudden she （52）Dtears and lost her temper outside the door．"Why are you crying so sadly？Tired？"The last sentence caused an even louder （53）A，"Mommy can't carry me!Mommy （54）C!Daddy carry me!Daddy…!"
My tears came out when I heard the words．Such a sweet and （55）Dgirl she is．One month ago I had a bad movement when carrying her up and twisted my waist．I remembered that I couldn't move at all when the （56）Ahappened and this certainly scared her．After that I （57）Blong-term lower back pain till now and couldn't carry her．It is （58）Dthat she knows everything．

15．Annoying Mobile Phone UsersWhat really annoys me most about modern life is the way some people use their mobile phones．（36）FHowever，there are some people out there who just don't care about other people's feeling when they use a phone．These mobile phone users make life painful for the rest of us．Let's divide these users into groups．
The first group are those people who shout on the phone，especially in enclosed places like trains or lifts．（37）C It isn't necessary．
（38）BSome ringtones are truly unpleasant---a loud，electronic version of Beethoven with a hip hop beat，for example．This is especially annoying in the cinema．
The third group of people who annoy me are those who have to walk around while they speak．（39）G．
Finally，the worst group are people who take a phone call while you are in a conversation with them．This is extremely rude in my opinion．
I would like to end with a message to all the above mobile phone users：You think you look cool and important talking on your mobile all the time．（40）A

A．But believe me----you don't!
B．Next are those with annoying ringtones．
C．I don't know why they have to talk so loudly．
D．This group of people keep talking on the phone．
E．I have no idea where they get the noisy ringtones
F．The mobile phone is an important part of life for most of us．
G．They stand in the way just when you want to get past．

14．One of the Queen's closest relatives and oldest friends was allowed to give a deep description into the family life of the Royals．Although there have been hundreds of other books declaring to offer a quick look behind the Palace doors，this is the first written by someone who is closely related to the Royal Family and has shared their lives-not only throughout the Queen's reign （統(tǒng)治） but also through that of her father，King George VI．
The Final Curtsey was written by her Majesty's cousin and childhood playmate the Honorable Margaret Rhodes．It tells in details the story of Mrs．Rhodes's relationship with the Royal family over eight decades．The book，with delightfully informal and never-before-seen pictures，has been written with the full knowledge of the Queen，who has read and approved parts of it．
Born in 1925，the Honorable Margaret Rhodes has led an extraordinary life．She was the childhood playmate of her cousin，the Queen； a wartime M16spy； and she was a lady-in-waiting （宮女） to her aunt，the Queen Elizabeth，the Queen Mother，from 1991until the latter's death in 2002．At the Queen's 80^th birthday in April 2006，Margaret gave an interview to the BBC which she proved that，in her own opinion and despite several false reports，the Queen would not abdicate（退位）．
In this charming autobiography （自傳），she told how she was offered a house to live in the Royal farm in Windsor Great Park unexpectedly．One day when she and the Queen were out riding outside，she suddenly returned and said，"Could you bear to live in the suburb？""I think it should be OK．"Therefore Mrs．Rhodes is now still living there．

A．its author knows the Queen well
B．its author is very famous
C．it presents reader a very different Queen

12．Nothing can prevent us fromrealizing（ realize ） our"Chinese Dream"．

11．At that time people would starve if food was difficultto find（find），especially （especial） during the cold winter months．

10．Why is setting goals so（ 41）important （importance）？Because goals can help you do，be，and experience everything （42）thatyou want in life．Instead （43）ofjust letting life happen to you，goals allow （44）yourself（you）to make your life happen．（45）Successful（success）and happy people have sets lots of goals to help them reach their aims．By setting goals you are taking control of your life．It's like （46）having （have） a map to show you
（47）whereyou want to go．Winners in life set goals and follow through with them．Winners decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and（48）setting（set）goals．Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident．Goals aren't difficult to set and （49）theyaren't difficult to reach．It is up to you to find out what your goals really are．You are （50）theone who must decide what to do and in what direction to aim your life．

9．Most of us lead a busy life．（16）BWe think，"If I reached my goal，then I would be happy"，or"If I could get a better job，then I would enjoy life．"But why not enjoy life right now？
Firstly，take time to notice and appreciate the beauty in your own surroundings．（17）D"There is a great big world of wonder and beauty around us!"And as Brodersen explains．"Look for the beauty of the sunrise and of a friend's smile that brightens your day．Open your eyes to see the beauty you might not normally see．Doing so helps to cheer you up．"
Secondly，taking time to experience some simple pleasures also can bring joy to your heart and ease your stress．Take me for example．（18）A One universal simple pleasure is finding things that make you laugh．Make time to laugh every day．
Thirdly，don't take your family and friends for granted．Rich，rewarding relationships add greatly to the enjoyment of life．When you think of someone，why not call，e-mail or write them？（19）F As Wayne Lawton explains，"Invest time in relationships．Remove the attitude，what's in it for me？Happiness is found in putting other's interests，desires and concerns ahead of our own whenever possible．Selfishness is a dead-end street（死胡同）． （20）C

8．A beautiful and very successful actress was the star of a new musical show．Her home was in the country，but she didn't want to have to go back there every night．So she rented an expensive flat in the center of the city，bought some beautiful furniture and hired a man to paint the rooms in new colors．
 It was very difficult to get tickets for her show，because everybody wanted to see it，so she decided to give the painter two of the best seats．She hoped that this would make him work better and more willingly for her．He took the tickets without saying anything，and she heard no more about them until the end of the month，when she got the painter's bill．At the bottom of it were the words："Four hours watching Miss Ball sing and dance：$3，"with this note："After 5 p．m．，I get fifteen shillings an hour instead of ten shillings．"

（36）FThey buy tickets or turn on their TVs to watch the games．Often they get very excited when their player or team wins．
（37）A Football，for example，has spread around the world．Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with many rivers．What fun it is to jump into a pool or lake，whether in China，Egypt or Italy�。�38）D Think how many lovers to skate or ski in Japan，Norway or Canada．
Some sports or games go back thousands of years，like running or jumping．Chinese wushu，for example，has a very long history．But basketball and volleyball are rather new．Neither one is a hundred years old yet． （39）BWaterskiing is one of the newest in the family of sports．
People from different countries may not be able to understand each other，but after a game together they often become good friends． （40）GOne learns to fight hard but fight fair，to win without pride and to lose with grace．
