I was wearing makeup like a big girl, and I was dressed in a white tutu (芭蕾舞短裙). I was so happy.As I stepped backstage, I couldnt wait to see Mommy and Grandmothers faces; they would be so proud of me.Grandparents, mothers, fathers and friends started to pour into the room. My eyes searched wildly for my mother and grandmother. All around me I saw each performer holding her bouquet (花束) of flowers in their arms. “Esther.” I heard my name being called.“Mommy,” I replied, rushing into her arms. My eyes glanced over to my grandmother. There were no flowers. Was I not good enough? Why didnt I get flowers? Tears began to stream down my cheeks.“Esther, whats the matter? You were so good on stage. Why are you crying?”“Flowers,” I said, as I started to cry uncontrollably. “Where are my flowers?”My mother was upset and said that this was the first recital (独舞表演) in your family so she did not know about this tradition. My grandmother said that she didnt know she should bring flowers, either. My mother drew me into her arms. My tears got absorbed into her sweater.On our way home along the riverside, which was dotted with wildflowers, our car stopped. My grandmother picked a bouquet of flowers for me. She told me that I was her perfect dancer. This made the waterfall on my face run even faster.As I look back on that day of my first dance recital, I realized that the bouquet my grandmother had picked for me was the most meaningful and loving bouquet that I would ever receive. Each flower that she picked was a flower of love.21. Why did the author cry after seeing her mother and grandmother?A. She was very nervous.B. She was extremely happy and excited.C. She did not want to stay in the room.D. She did not receive flowers.22. The authors first dance recital was _?A. successful B. a failure C. held at home D. held when she was ten23.

Cheers, ta or even wicked is the more likely response, if a survey（调查） is to be believed.Research among computer users suggests that people have stopped using the traditional expression of gratitude（感激）.Almost half of those surveyed said they now use cheers more often than thank you.Four out of ten said thank you sounded too formal and made people feel unnatural- so they used more attractive, chatty words such as fab, lovely or wicked. A third said they would often just use a quick wave instead of saying thank you. And 77 percent said that any of the words used to say thanks were irrelevant, believing a pleasant gesture works just as well. The survey of 3,000 people was carried out by the online gift store Me to You.Spokesman Caroline Weaver said, While the great British public might feel uncomfortable saying thank you these days, they do like to show their gratitude in other ways. People in the survey felt it didnt matter how you thanked someone for their kind actions, as long as you did so in a friendly and polite way. Most importantly, everyone knows that a big smile and some form of acknowledgment is all it takes to show we are grateful.Two thirds of people in the survey believed Britain was a rude nation and 84 percent thought others should make more of an effort to show gratitude.25. Among people surveyed most _.A. consider thank you attractive wordsB. use wicked more often than thank youC. think a gesture can also express gratitudeD. use a quick wave instead of saying thank you26. The underlined part “did so” in the fourth paragraph refers to “_”.A. did good deeds B. showed gratitude C. said thank you D. presented a big smile27. What can be inferred from the survey?A. Computer users like formal words.B. Most British people consider themselves friendly.C. People sometimes get embarrassed at saying thank you.D. Computer users are more likely to do people a kindness.CWhen visiting New York City with your kids, there are many things to do with kids that will entertain their spirits and feed their minds.

The passage is intended for _.A. kids B. educators C. parents D. environmentalistsDDulas is a computer-generated （计算机生成的） character created by Julia Borbolla, a Mexican child psychologist（心理学家）. It is one of the several “emotional agents” Borbolla has invented that are being recognized in Mexico City as able of coming into the inner lives of children.Dulas, like all of these characters, has big eyes and radio antennas（天线）. The characters collectively go by the name Antenas because they all have antennas and come from a planet called Antenopolis. Dulas knows nothing about the life on earth, not even what a mother or father is. Wearing rabbit slippers in hospital, he doesnt like to talk with adultsso children can trust his companionship.Over the past five years, Borbollas characters have been used to help 2,000 children from 3 to 14 years old, and have been employed in three Mexico City hospitals and a center for disabilities in another city, Morelia.Researchers have been using puppets（木偶）to help children express and deal with their feelings for decades. But Borbolla, who has been working with children for 30 years, has taken this kind of work as a step further.The children meet the characters in a room, without adults present; doctors monitor （监控）with cameras. They have to handle the information carefully. One principle of the work is that a doctor must not make it known that he knows something that was said to an Antenas character privately. This keeps the trust of the childs relationship with the character.Borbolla originally got the idea to use a drawing of a cartoon character to communicate with children when she was working as a school psychologist in the 1980s. Years later, in private practice, she worked with a puppet maker to develop a software version（版本）. She spent six years improving the tool.So far, Antenas hasnt been carefully studied, and Borbolla is working with researchers to examine its effect. “I see how powerful it is,” she told me. “ It can be used to get into the souls of children.”32.
