While waiting to pick up a friend at the airport in Portland, Oregon, I had an experience which happened only two feet away from me.

Trying to locate my friend among the passengers coming through the jet way, I noticed a man walking toward me carrying two light bags. He stopped right next to me to greet his family.

First he kissed his three children one by one and said, “It’s nice to see you. I missed you so much!” Then he hugged his wife, “I’ve saved the best for last!” giving her the longest, most passionate (狂热的) kiss I ever remember seeing. They stared at each other’s eyes, smiling at one another, while holding both hands. For an instant they reminded me of newlyweds(新婚夫妇), but I knew by the age of their kids that they couldn’t possibly be.

Full of admiration, I asked, “Wow! How long have you two been married?” “Being together for fourteen years total, married twelve of those.” He replied, without breaking his gaze from his lovely wife’s face. “Well, then, how long have you been away?” I asked. “Two whole days!” “Two days?” I was astonished. By the intensity (热烈) of the greeting, I had thought he’d been gone for at least several weeks —   if not months. I knew my expression betrayed me, so I turned away my eyes and said quietly, “I hope my marriage is still that passionate after so long!”

The man suddenly stopped smiling and looked me straight in the eye. With forcefulness he told me something that left me a different person. “Don’t hope, friend. Decide!” Then he smiled again, shook my hand and said, “God bless!”

With that, he and his family turned and walked away together.

I was still watching that man and his special family walk just out of sight when my friend came up to me and asked, “What are you looking at?” Without hesitation, and with a curious sense of certainty, I replied, “My future!”

The fire at Notre Dame Cathedral(巴黎圣母院) in Paris has raised questions about the condition of thousands of other historic buildings across Europe. It also raises questions about whether European governments are doing enough to keep up and care for such buildings.

Some people say the fire last month was a wake-up call, not just for Europe, but the whole world. Large fires have long robbed humanity of knowledge, art and treasures. One example is the fire at the famous library of Alexandria in northern Egypt about 1700 years ago.

In 2015, the German engineering company Siemens found that Scotland had about 10 serious fires a year, while England lost at least twelve listed buildings a year. In Germany, 70 historic buildings have been destroyed since 2000.

And all too often, fires happen while old buildings are being repaired. Experts say that what is needed is continuous attention and maintenance(维护). These steps, if taken, could help avoid the need for major repairing work.

But regular attention and maintenance costs money.

Part of the problem comes from the shortage of money provided by governments after the 2008 financial crisis (金融危机). As a result, governments are increasingly looking for rich companies to keep up these historic buildings.

“We do need more money, but this is a shared duty for governments, businesses and citizens across Europe,” said an officer from the European Union.

Some say world-famous monuments like Notre Dame are the driving force behind tourism and should get more respect. People have noticed the importance of such respect.

“Historic buildings are a gold mine(矿). You cannot explore it and then just leave the mine and go to another one. It is something you really have to value,” the officer said.

41. After the fire at Notre Dame Cathedral, more attention is paid to_________ .

A．European governments	B．famous libraries
C．engineering companies	D．the old buildings

42. According to the passage, one of the biggest enemies of cultural treasures is________.

A．robbers

B．fires

C．money

D．tourists

43. “These steps” in Paragraph 4 refer to (指代)___________.

A．attention and maintenance	B．careful repairing work
C．enough respect from people	D．serious financial crisis

44. The officer thinks _______should accept the duty of caring for these famous monuments.

A．citizens around the world	B．the European governments
C．rich European businesses	D．the whole European society

45. The purpose of writing this article is to ask everyone to____________.

A．value historic buildings	B．donate plenty of money
C．pay attention to big fires	D．avoid exploring mines

English people are well known for plenty of tea that they drink. Per person in the UK consumes (消费) around 1.9 kg of tea every year. Tea is drunk by all sections(阶层) of society.

But tea is not native to Britain. Most of the tea is grown in India and China. Tea first arrived in London in the 1600s. At this time, British ships were exploring the world and came across the drink in China. It was not long before green tea was available to buy. However, this was only available to the rich.

At the beginning of the 1700s, the amount of tea arriving in Britain increased slowly. Black tea arrived at this time.At first people drank this tea exactly as it was in China. They soon discovered that it mixed really well with a little milk and sugar, giving the drink a special British characteristic .

In the 1800s tea was still a product enjoyed only by people with money. At this time they began to have “afternoon   tea”. This includes drinking tea with a snack around 4 p.m. to avoid

feeling hungry. It is a tradition that is still going today but has become less popular in recent times.

In the late 1800s, the price of tea dropped a lot as more tea began to arrive on ships from India and China. It was no longer a drink just for rich people. Tearooms-shops   where you could buy and drink tea-started   to appear across the country. People enjoyed drinking tea and social activities in   these places. At the start of the 20th century, Englishmen began to make tea in their homes whenever they felt like it. Kettles (烧水壶) became necessary in every kitchen.

It is said that the eyes are “the windows of our soul”. Beautiful and bright eyes not only show a good health but also make you look very attractive. However, to have healthy eyes, you have to look after them properly. Your eyes need taking good care of.

Be careful with your diet. First, eat food that is good for your eyes. They are fresh fruits,vegetables, fish, eggs, and milk. Besides, a regular amount of vitamins A and B2 should also be taken.

A regular and sound sleep is a must. It relaxes your eyes and gives them enough rest. Sleep not only helps repair the tired body. Usually, you must sleep for at least seven to eight hours every day. Loss of sleep can give you dark circles under the eye.

You must exercise your eyes every day. Blink (眨眼) your eyes at regular periods, which makes the eyeballs full of water and gives them a good wash.

We use our eyes in many wrong ways. Fox example, if a small thing goes into our eye we start rubbing it, which is wrong. Rubbing can hurt your eyes. Don’t read or write in poor or bright sunlight. Always use sunglasses as sunlight can cause eye tiredness. Light should not shine directly in your eyes.        Too much reading, watching TV or working on the computer can also cause eye tiredness.

Remember to always take care of God’s most beautiful gift to you. Your life will be very colorless without your eyes.

For a long time, people thought that the floor of the ocean was a very quiet place. Some thought that it was almost without any s    71     at all. Scientists were surprised when they put a microphone (麦克风) under water and heard all kinds of noises. They heard grunts, growls, snarls and whistles. The b    72    of the sea sounded like a zoo! The scientists were puzzled (迷惑的) when they found out these noises were c    73     from fish. Some fish make noise by grinding their teeth. Others scrape their bones together. Still others make noise with the sac of air in their bodies. W    74     fish make these sounds is somewhat a mystery (谜). Some scientists think that the fish use these noises to s    75     to one another. Most people believe the sounds have no meaning. Scientists have found out that the dolphin k    76     the meaning of some sounds. Tests show that it is one of the smartest a    77    in the sea. People say that they have been able to teach the dolphin many human words. At Marineland of the Pacific, it is said that dolphins have even been taught to sing. They rise to the s    78     of the water and sing for visitors. At least it sounds somewhat like singing!

Who knows? We may be able to talk with the dolphin and learn many secrets of the sea sometime soon. Just think what the dolphin could tell us. We could learn the location of treasure ships u    79     the sea. We could learn where to find great schools of fish. We might e    80    learn the location of submarines (潜艇). It could be an exciting moment when we first begin to find out what those voices from the ocean floor are saying.
