One windy spring day, I noticed young people having fun using the wind to fly their kites. Colorful creations of different shapes and sizes filled the skies like beautiful birds flying and dancing. As the strong winds blew against the kites, a string kept them in control.
They shook and pulled, but the restraining (控制的) string and the cumbersome (笨重的) tail kept them in control, facing upward and against the wind. As the kites struggled agains t the string, they seemed to say, “Let me go! Let me go! I want to be free!” They rose beautifully even when they fought the restriction of the string. Finally, one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose(松散的). “Free at last,” it seemed to say. “Free to fly with the wind.”
Yet freedom(自由) simply put it in the control of an unkind wind. It fell down to the ground and landed in a mass of weeds and string against a dead bush. “Free at last”, free to lie powerlessly in the dirt, to be blown helplessly along the ground, and to stop lifelessly against the first obstacle (障碍物).
How much like kites we sometimes are. The Heaven gives us adversity (逆境) and rules, rules to follow from which we can grow and get strength. Some of us break away from the rules so hard that we never reach the heights we might get to. We keep part of the rules and never raise high enough to get our tails off the ground.
Let us each rise to the great heights, knowing that some of the rules that we may be angry about are in fact the strong force that helps us achieve.
( ) 38. Why does the writer write the first paragraph?
A. Because it was the first time that he had seen young people flying kites.
B. Because he wants to share his feelings in nature with the readers.
C. Because he wants to tell the readers how to make beautiful kites.
D. Because he wants to use his life experience to make readers understand the article better.
( ) 39. By writing t he second and third paragraphs, the writer seems to let the readers know____.
A. anyone who wants no restraints is sure to be a sad end
B. what a pity it is that one kite flew down to the ground
C. man with freedom can’t be like that kite which fell down
D. the unkind wind is the cause of the falling kite
( ) 40. From the passage, we can learn that the string of the kite represents .
A. rules B. freedom C. success D. failure
( ) 41. In the writer’s opinion, ____________.
A. without restrictions and rules we can make progress
B. kites are good examples to those who want to get freedom
C. restrictions are unnecessary for us human beings
D. we don’t need any freedom at all

Time is in the year 2095. It is reported that a comet(彗星) is rushing towards the Earth. Most of it will miss our earth, but two pieces will probably hit the southern half of our planet.
On 15 July, a piece about four kilometers wide enters the Earth’s atmosphere with a massive explosion(爆炸). About half of the piece is destroyed, but the remaining part hits the South Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound. A hole is made in the sea bed. Huge waves spread outwards from the hole. The wall of water, a kilometer high, rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometers an hour. Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned.
Before the waves arrive in South America, the second piece of the comet hits Argentina. Earthquakes and volcanoes(火山爆发) are set off in the Andes Mountains. The shock waves move north into California and all around the Pacific Ocean. The cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco and Tokyo are completely destroyed by earthquakes. Millions of people in the southern half of the earth are already dead, but the north won’t escape for long. Because of the explosions, the sun is hidden by clouds of dust, temperatures around the world fall to almost zero. Crops are destroyed. The sun won’t be seen again for many years. Wars break out as countries fight for food. A year later, no more than 10 million people remain alive.
Could it really happen? In fact, it has already happened more than once in the history of the Earth. The dinosaurs were on the Earth for over 160 million years. Then 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared. Many scientists believe that the Earth was hit by a piece of object in space. The dinosaurs couldn’t live through the cold climate that followed and they died out. Will we meet the same end?
( ) 42. When the first piece hits the South Atlantic, it causes _______ .
A. an earthquake B. volcanoes C. an Earth explosion D. huge waves
( ) 43. Why can’t the northern half of the Earth escape for long?
A. Because the land is covered with water.
B. Because wars break out among countries for living space.
C. Because people there cannot live at the temperature of zero.
D. Because the light and heat from the sun cannot reach the Earth.
( ) 44. By giving the example of dinosaurs, the writer tries to prove _______ .
A. the human beings will die out
B. animals could not live in the cold climate
C. the Earth could be hit by other objects in s pace
D. what happened 65 million years ago was an invented story

As time passes, some people stay by your side while others don’t. That makes you realize that each friendship you have is precious. To have a good friend, you must be one, and sometimes we all need a reminder (提醒) about what makes us good friends. Here are tips to help you to hold your friends. Take a look.
Share a secret.
Telling a friend your secrets will make them feel like you value them more than others, says Peter DeScioli, a researcher in psychology (心理学家) at Harvard University. DeScioli has found that we are more likely to rank someone high up in our friend group if we know that he or she holds us in his or her trust.
Treat him or her like a grownup.
While your friends are in trouble, telling them what they should do doesn’t seem to be a good idea. Edward Deci, a psychology professor at the University of Rochester, US, has found that supporting friends’ autonomy (自主权)—that is, making them feel that they can choose the ways by themselves—creates a better relationship.
Accept that no friendship is perfect.
Fights can be a normal part of family relationships, but when it comes to friendships, people are less comfortable. This feeling can caus e friends to give up too fast on their relationships when trouble comes , according to US sociologist (社会学家) Jan Yager. So don’t be afraid of the occasional (偶尔的) quarrel. Once you make it through, your friendship is likely to be stronger than ever.
Ways to (71) your friendship with others
(72)______ a secret People are more likely to rank you high up in their group if they feel you (73) and value them more than others.
Treat him or her like a grownup Encourage your friends to make their own (74) instead of telling them what to do when they are in trouble.
Accept that no friendship is perfect Don’t give up too fast on your friendship just because some occasional quarrel. If you make it through, you will get a
(75) friendship than ever.
