1953, so investigating the attic was a trip down memory lane for
& I climbed the unstable
ladder to the dusty, cold third floor. I looked around and noticed
a very old basket in the comer, in which I found letters piled
high, faded and dirty-untouched there. As I opened each letter, I
discovered a new and previously unrevealed page of my parents'
My father served in the Army. He wrote
about his daily experiences with civilians, German POWs, baths and
more. I was drawn to these letters. Each of my mother's letters was
sealed with her 1944 lipstick kiss. Daddy wrote that he sealed his
return letters by rekissing her lipstick kiss. Oh, how they missed
I finished reading six months of the
letters and discovered there were at least eleven months missing.
Where could they
& Just six weeks after my visit,
Daddy became very ill and was hospitalized. He was scheduled for
kidney dialysis (肾透析)when I decided to fly to visit him. We
discussed the letters. He told me how much receiving those
lipstick-kissed letters had meant to him when he had been so far
from home. As I left, the thought raced through my mind that
tomorrow was Valentine's Day. But I quickly dismissed this
thought. My father wasn’t in any kind of shape to shop for a
valentine. My parents had been married for fifty-six years. My
mother would understand that her valentine would just have to be
skipped this
& Later that evening.
Mother and I revisited the attic in search of the lost letters.
Toward the bottom, we discovered an unmarked gold cardboard box.
Yes! Here were the long-lost letters! I began looking through them.
Lying separate, on top of the letters was the valentine card my
father had sent Mother in

and I visited Daddy in the hospital. I joked with him, saying
softly, “Today is Valentine's Day, and I know you have been a
little busy lately, but I’ve got something you covered.” I handed
him the card. He carefully opened the card, and when he recognized
it, his eyes filled with

dessert, there were several delicious things to choose from. But
what stood out from the rest was the Pavlova, a treat made with
fruit and others. Not only was the Pavlova nice to look at, but
it’s also a dish with some
controversy.
Peter Macaulay, an adviser to the Embassy
of New Zealand who attended with his two children, Brianna and
Fraser, cheerfully explained why the Pavlova was so
controversial.
Named after a Russian ballet dancer who visited the country in
1927, the Pavlova was created by the New Zealanders in honor of
their special guest. The hullabaloo started when the dancer
was honored with the same exact dish when she visited. Ever since,
a friendly competition has carried on over which country should
take credit for originating the

The Harry Potter author was identified in
a newspaper article last week. On a website Rowling said 8,500
English language copies had been sold in all forms, including
e-books, before her
unmasking.
& The author added that
she had received two offers from television production companies.
“The situation was becoming increasingly complicated, largely
because Robert was doing rather belter than we had expected him
to,” she said. “But we all still hoped to keep the secret a little
longer. Robert’s success during his first three months as a
published writer (discounting sales made after I was found out)
actually compares favourably with JK Rowling's success over the
similar period of her
& However, the
Bookseller reported the hardback had sold fewer than 500 copies in
its three-month period on sale before the Sunday Times’ expose. The
recent sales were not enough to send The Cuckoo's Calling to the
top spot in the officialtop 50, instead landing it in third

coincided with the paperback release of The Casual Vacancy -- her
first official post-Potter work -- which sold 19,548 copies in the
same week, making the book number two in the sales chart. Neither
title managed to draw John Grisham's The Racketeer from the top of
the chart, which shifted 24,222 copies -- a 19% drop on the previous

& Is there a connection between a
nation’s contributions to international aid programs and the
happiness of its citizens? According to a study of nine European
donor (捐赠人)countries, there is a direct relationship between
the level of foreign aid and level of happiness in the UK and
France but for other European countries there seems to be no link.
Full details of the analysis and its conclusions are published this
month in the journal Global Business and Economics
Review.&&&&&&
& Mark Arvin and Byron
Lew of Department of Economics,in., have investigated the old
proverb that it’s better to give than receive. Previous research
has suggested that for individuals giving money to worthy causes
brings more happiness than spending it oneself. Elizabeth Dunn and
colleagues at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, found
that people said they were much happier if they were spending money
“pro-socially” -- that is on gifts for others or on charitable
donations -- rather than spending it on
themselves.
& Whether this proposal
translates to the national level is open to question, but Arvin and
Lew hoped to confirm that it is indeed the case by looking at the
foreign aid disbursements (支付款) of nine
donor countries in Europe and using general measures of happiness
among a nation's citizens. Their statistical analysis hoped to
reveal whether happiness levels could predict levels of aid
& “Our results reveal
that for two important European donors, France and the, the
aid-happiness link is a positive causal relationship from happiness
to aid,” the team says. “In addition, for, there is also a positive
causal connection from aid to happiness. This leads us to suspect
that aid and happiness are likely both naturally born -- at least
countries.”
& The researchers point
out that it is not surprising that there is a different effect in
countries other than theandbecause there are different attitudes
towards foreign aid. Some nations have smaller public parts others
donate at the institutional level and through private channels.
Nevertheless, public giving seems to bring greater happiness to a
nation as a whole as well as assisting those less
fortunate.

F4幽灵战斗机被一发地对空导弹炸毁，唯一能够从死亡的边缘挽救他的就是随身带的降落伞，他祈祷着伞能打开。结果，降落伞顺利打开了，查理得以活着着陆，但被敌军俘虏，在越南监狱里被关了6年。一天，查理和妻子在一个小饭馆里，有个人走向查理，说出了有关他的一切。查理听完非常惊讶，那人解释：“因为我帮你打包整理了降落伞。”
&当天晚上查理失眠了，“我有多少次走过那个最终救了我命的人身边却无视他？因为我是个飞行员，是个驾驶两倍于音速的飞机的‘精英一族’；是个战斗机飞行员而他仅仅是个水手？”他质问自己。回想自己吧：人生中有多少次你曾无视地走过帮助你最多的人？那个在最需要的时候默默替你打包降落伞的人？那些不求功名利禄，不求奖章甚至好处的人----那

51.***D。细节理解题。从文章可以知道，1944年父亲寄给母亲的情人节卡片对他们来说是真正的宝贝。而前3个选项都有错误。
52.***B。词义理解题。从文章知道，我想着明天就是情人节了，也许父亲该为母亲准备一份礼物。但是我很快就放弃了这个想法，因为父亲根本就不可能出去购物。
53.***C。推理判断题。父亲终于能亲自把这张卡片上的洋溢着爱的文字读给母亲听，自然是满心
激动和欢喜的。
54.***A。推理判断题。文章中的信件就是父母爱的象征。
55.***A.推理判断题。文章第3段谈到：It's composed of, as Ambassador
Moore joked, around 4.5 million people and 40 million
sheep.所以，我们能推断养羊在英国是一个很大的生意。
56.***C。词义理解题。文章倒数第3段谈到，the
Pavlova（奶油蛋白甜饼）究竟是起源于哪个国家，在英国和澳大利亚之间产生了争执。&
57.***D。推理判断题。文中倒数第2段谈到，当这位大使说到，“我说是我们做的”，他的言下之意就是说是他们创造了这个美食Pavlova。
58.***A。主旨大意题。本文主要谈的是美国中学生通过食物等去感受英国的文化。B太大了，包含的范围太广。
59.***C。推理判断题。文中第3段谈到，Rowling说在她的真实身份被披露之前，她的这本书就已经在网站上销售了有8500份英文的版本。所以，我们可以推断在她的名字披露之前，这本书的销售是很让人满意的(beyond
satisfaction)。
&60.***D。推理判断题。从文中可以知道，她的书在她披露了她的真实身份以后，销量急剧上升。
所以，对于销量来说，书吸引人是一个方面，但是作者本身的名气也是很重要的一个因素。她不太可能借助于一个名不见经传的笔名去获得书的销量的成功，因此，她选择了告知读者她的真实身份。&
61.***B。态度判断题。文章最后一段谈到，她希望读者对这本书能像对待the real Harry
Potters一样，持宽容（forgiving）的态度。所以，她希望的读者的态度应该是接受和包容这本书。
62.***A。主旨大意题。文章第一句话就是全文的中心和主题。作者披露了自己的真实身份带来了销量的急剧上升。
63.***A。推理判断题。文章第一段就提出了话题，在奉献和快乐之间是直接联系的。所以，它的主要作用就是引导我们去阅读下文研究者们得出的结论。
&64.***C。推理判断题。文章第2段谈到，给予比自己消费能给人带来更多的幸福。
&65.***D。结构判断题。文字通过对9个捐赠国进行分析，得出结论：给予与幸福之间是有联系的。所以，本文是通过举例、分析来支撑作者的观点的。
&66.***B。主旨大意题。给予比得到能让人觉得更快乐。&
***B。细节理解题。一种被称为“极地涡旋”的天气系统为美国大片地区带来危险的寒冷天气。但是阿拉斯加比较暖和，格陵兰岛甚至更暖和一点。所以B是错误的。
&68. ***C。推理判断题。文章中几个人的对话表明Washington
D.C.天气异常寒冷。
***D。细节理解题。文章倒数第三段谈到，这种冷空气和大风在中部地区待的时间更长些，所以这些地区遭受极寒天气的影响就更大些。
70.***A。推理判断题。文章最后一段谈到，这种极寒对美国大部分地区天气造成了极大的危害。特别是最后一句，But
there was more to the
picture.，所以，接下来就会谈到更多受灾的情况。
