My mum says my head is too expensive, because all my operations(手术) have cost millions of dollars.
I am sick with hydrocephalus. That means “water in the head." Water runs through the body like a river, but sometimes it won’t leave my head. That water gives me bad headaches and lots of other problems. so doctors put a small tube(管子)in me to take away that water from my head.
I stay in the hospital most of the time . Sometimes the doctors let me go out to play. But sometimes, if I play too much , my tube has problems. I have to go back to the hospital.
My doctor, Dr. Beck , is the greatest. He takes good care of me, and he’s a lot of fun, too. My illness is hard to understand, but Dr. Beck always takes time to teach me about it by drawing pictures or telling stories. I draw cartoons for him, too, to make him laugh when he gets tired.
When I grow up, I dream of becoming a doctor so that I can take care of kids like me. I have been in the hospital a lot, and my mum is a nurse, so I have learned a lot by watching and asking questions.
When I’m a doctor , I’ll tell sick kids my story to make them feel better when they’re afraid

To us, it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But in fact the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain. Its first use was as a shade(遮蔽)against the sun.
Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in
very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, back in the eleventh century BC.
We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honor and power(权力). In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used
only by those in high office or by royal people such as the kings or queens.
In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. The umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece, but it is believed that the first people in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans. During the middle ages in Europe, the use of the umbrella almost disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it became a
symbol of
power.
Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in
weight. It wasn’t until the twentieth century that the umbrellas for women began to be made in all kinds of colors.
76. Ancient people first used umbrellas as ____.
A. a symbol of honor B. protection against the sun
C. a
symbol of
power D. protection against the rain
77. According to the passage, the umbrella was probably first used in ancient ______.
A. Egypt . B. Babylon C. Rome D. China
78. The underlined word royal might mean _ in Chinese.
A.皇室的 B.富裕的 C.中产的 D.平民的
79. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A. The ancient Greeks used the
umbrella in their
daily life.
B. Europeans hardly used the umbrella during the middle ages.
C. The umbrellas for women were made colorful in ancient times.
D. The style of the umbrella hasn't changed a lot since it was invented
80. This passage is mainly about _____.
A. the sales of the umbrella B. the differences among umbrellas
C. the invention of the
umbrella D. the history and the use of the umbrella
C.

Language is always changing and developing. This isn’t a bad thing. If English hadn’t changed for a long time, we won’t have words to describe(描述) telephones, washing machines, computers or some other new things.
Language changes for several reasons. First, it changes because the needs of its speaker change. New technologies, new products, and new experiences need new words to express them clearly. Another reason for change is that different people have different language experiences. People use different sets of words and expressions, 87 they have different ages, jobs, education levels(水平) and so on.
How does language develop then? On the one hand, many of the languages changes begin with young people. When young people communicate with others of their own age, their language grows in grammar, words and expressions that are different from the older people’s. 89.Some have a short lifetime but others can influence the language for long. On the other hand, we get new words in many different ways. We borrow them from other languages, we create them by making words shorter or combining words and we give news names to them .
Languages that don’t change over time are considered dead languages. The fact that English changes so much shows that it is alive and well.
86.What does the writer think of the change and development of language?
He thinks it is__________________________________________.
87.从A B C D中选出恰当的词 空格处，使上下文通顺完整。
A.because B.because of C.if D.as.
88.How many reasons for language change are mentioned in this passage?
The writer mentions _____________reasons.
89.将划线部分的句子翻译为汉语。
__________________________________________________________.
90. What is considered a dead language according to the passage?
The langue that remains\stays___________________over time is considered a dead language.

Mike is from Canada. Now he works as a waiter in New York City. Every August he has one week off for summer holiday. Last summer, he decided to take a trip to San Francisco in the USA. He did not want to go by plane. He really wanted to see more views of the USA, so he decided to take the train from New York City to San Francisco.
The train left the station in New York City on Monday at 10:30p.m. Mike tried to sleep that night, but he could not because he was too excited. He expected to see the beautiful views the next day. He thought his trip would be wonderful.
