One day after a quick and simple lunch, she went shopping. Having looked for half an hour, she came across a shop selling umbrellas at a good price. So she decided to take one.
She thought, “Mom can carry it when she is wearing clothes of any color1 .” Then she bought a lovely black umbrella and took it to school with her until her class finished.
On her way home in the train that evening she felt hungry, so she went to the buffet car. She left the black umbrella above her seat. But when she got back, she found it was gone!
Sally burst into tears. The other passengers felt very sorry for her and asked what was wrong. When she explained the black umbrella she had bought for her mother had disappeared, and that she had to get off at the next station, the three other passengers asked her for her mother’s address so that they could send the umbrella to her in case someone returned it after Sally got off the train. The next week, Sally got a letter from her mother saying “Thank you very much for your lovely presents, but why did you send me three black umbrellas?” [写作内容]

参考答案：
Love our mother
Sally, a college student, bought her mother an umbrella as a birthday present but lost it on the train. Moved by her kindness and respect for her mother, some passengers on the train sent her mother three umbrellas.
Sally loved her mother and remembered her mother’s birthday. As a 17-year-old girl, I love my mother very much as well. I send my mother flowers on Mother’s Day. Last year, on mother’s 45th birthday, I bought my mother a very good comb from store. When I showed it to my mother and told her it was good for her health to comb her hair often, she burst into tears and then smiled to my father and me. Never had I imagined that a simple gift would make her so moved.
Mother’s love is the most precious in the world. I think we can show our love for our mother by doing small things. What is most important is to our love every day.
Love and get loved
Some strangers sent Sally’s mother three umbrellas after they saw Sally in tears because she had lost the umbrella she would send her mother as a birthday present.
From the story of three umbrellas, we can see that people will love you in return if you give love
to others. When I was 16 years old, I was in hospital for a small operation. It was difficult for me to reach out my hands for drinks or food. An old lady who was taking care of her husband in the room often came to my bedside to help me. Furthermore, she often told funny stories and made my days there full of joy. She prepared delicious soup for me and her husband. I have been very grateful to her for all that she did. Last year, at her 56th birthday, I sent her a big birthday cake and spent a good day at her home. Love is a two-way street. Love others, and then you will get loved.

三、 阅读理解
21. 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项。
Albert Einstein died long ago. However, a group of researchers have created a robot which looks like the great scientist.
The robotic Einstein is very special because the researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) have taught their realistic robot to smile, frown and make other complex facial expressions. Scientists believe that babies learn to control their bodies through movements, including learning to speak. “We use the same idea to work out the problem of how a robot could learn to make realistic facial expressions,” said Javier Movellan, director of UCSD’s machine Feeling Lab. ks5u
The San Diego researchers directed the Einstein robot’s head to turn in all directions. The robot could see its expressions in a mirror and then use the software to provide data for machine-learning to match facial expressions to the movements of its small motors. Once the robot learned the relationship between facial expressions and the muscle movements, it learned to make facial expressions. Its head has about 30 facial feelings, and each is moved by a tiny motor connected to ht e skin by s sting.
Although we’ve never met Albert Einstein, we have a feeling that the new robot isn’t exactly a fair representation of now of the best minds of the 20th century. The figure does not have the grace of the great man, but it can recognize human expressions and react to them in the right way. In fact, if you smile at it, it will smile right back to you.
“As far as we know, no other research group has used a robot to make realistic facial expressions,” said computer scientist Tingfan Wu, a computer science PhD student who worked on a more exact facial expression robot.
26. This robot is special mainly because it ________.
A. looks just like Albert Einstein B. can make various complex facial expressions C. can walk and talk to people D. can turn its head in all directions
27. The researchers that developed this robot got the idea from __________
A. human’s facial expressions. B. animal which can smile.
C. the way babies learn to control their bodies D. the use of computer software. 28. How does the robotic Einstein make the muscle movements?. A. Some software directs tiny motors to do it. B. It begins to do that after learning how to smile. C. The researchers move its muscles up and down. D. It learns to do that only with a mirror. 29. What can we infer from Paragraph 5?
A. The robot isn’t as smart as the researchers thought it could be.
B. There are still differences between the robot and Albert Einstein. C. The robot reacts to human expressions slowly. D. The robot always smiles when it sees humans.. 30. According to Tingfan Wu, ______
A. other groups will create better robots soon. B. this kind of robot will soon be improved. C. it will cost a lot of money to improve the robot
D. this robot can make more facial expressions than humans .

22. “When I grow up, I want to be...”
Almost all of us have thought about, or been asked to think about, our future careers. Our answers may differ greatly. Even now your aspirations(志向，抱负)may have changed from when you were in primary school.
However, it seems career options aren’t only based on personal taste. In a survey carried out by Teens, doctors, lawyers, and bankers were some of most popular careers that people said they hoped to follow. This is in line with a similar survey carried out in the UK in May 2011 by job
website---Co.uk, in which medicine was the top choice among UK teenagers aged between 13 and 17.
Medicine and law are two of the oldest and best known professions. Their prestige (威望) may come from the fact that doctors and lawyers are much-respected members of society, and they make good money. What’s more, these professions are often seen as a sign of upward social mobility.
It is equally unsurprising that banking is now one of the most common career choices. Youngsters worldwide think of banking and see the money rolling in. Wealth is increasingly becoming one of the most important indicators(标志) of a successful career. British young men list the UK tycoon(巨头,大亨) Alan Sugar, Microsoft founder Bill Gates and Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg as their top role models “for their wealth”. Just as Chinese teenagers see being a banker as a good and fun way to “wealth”.
However, not every child has the makings of doctor, lawyer, or banker. They are those who see achievement and happiness in other areas, and many teenagers dare to ink more individuality into their career options. As the Teens’ survey discovered, a variety of unconventional jobs---coffee shop owner, gourmet(美食家)，waiter at a fast food restaurant---are among teenagers’ career choices. They can be equally interesting and rewarding jobs.
With every choice comes responsibility and challenge, and all career paths require specific
education and training, you have to learn to balance optimism(乐观主义)and confidence with being realistic about your particular talents and skills. 54. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Careers in teenagers’ mind. B. Choosing a good job is very important. C. Teenagers in the UK like doctors. D. The choice of career needs challenge.
55. What is the top career choice among UK teenagers aged between 13 and 17 according to the article?
A. Medicine B. Law C. Bank D. Education
56. According to the article, all of the following are the benefits of being a doctor or a lawyer except _______.
A. respect from others B. the oldest profession C. high pay D. upward social mobility
57. What do youngsters think is increasingly becoming one of the most important indicators of a successful career?
A. Prestige B. Achievement C. Happiness D. Wealth 58. According to the last two paragraphs, which of the following is TRUE?
A. Careers such as gourmets and waiters are not as rewarding as doctors and lawyers. B. Specific education and training can help get a good job.
C. Responsibility is the most important when you choose a good job.
D. Optimism and confidence is more important than being realistic when choosing careers. 参考答案： AABDB
