This one is free.‎ Gift No. 2‎ Help your mother organize all of her medical records, which include the test results and medical information. Put them all in one place. Be sure to make a list of all of her medicines and what times she takes them.

"Buy your mother cotton sheets and comfortable pillows to encourage better sleep," Savard said.

You consider this question as you sink into an old wooden beach chair that holds you above the sand.‎ It was a long journey from Bangkok to Huaplee. By the time you found the bus station and got yourself sorted out, it took almost as long as the flight from Falongland.‎ Huaplee is located just south of Hua Hin, about two hundred kilometres from Bangkok, down the west side of the Gulf of Thailand. Not many tourists find this place, and the ones that do wonder if finding it has been their purpose all along.‎ There's an apparent laziness that surrounds you here. It's what this place offers, and it's free of charge. The small waves that tap the shoreline seem to slow everything down. You settle into your beach chair in preparation for a long rest. You sit there and watch the sea.‎ It's early afternoon, so the cook comes out and asks what you'd like to eat this evening. Before long he's rushed off to the market to buy the ingredients for whatever it was that you ordered—every meal fresh and to order. No menu here.‎ There is no poolside noise here but just that wonderfully warm, clear blue sea. There's no street noise. The only sounds are the murmurs of nature.‎ For now you just count your blessings(福祉), listing them in the sand with your toe(脚趾). You don't have to worry about being late for work. You don't have to do anything.‎ The beach to your right stretches off to the horizon(地平线), slowly narrowing to nothingness only to reemerge again on your left, now steadily widening until it covers the chair beneath you. Sand to your left and sand to your right; it's unbroken, endless. No start, no end, just sand, sun, and peace. Step off it, and you reenter the world of traffic, stress, work, and hurry.‎ Normally you're the type who can't sit still for more than ten minutes, but you're on Huaplee Lazy Beach now and, in the right frame of mind, it stretches all the way around the world.‎ ‎“How could it take me so long to find it?” you wonder. ‎ ‎63. When the author first went to Huaplee Beach, ________.‎ A. he found it unworthwhile B. he failed to sort himself out C. he became sensitive to smell D. he had difficulty in finding it ‎64. What is special about the food service at Huaplee Beach?‎ A. No menu. B. Free food.‎ C. Self service. D. Quick delivery.‎ ‎65. In the author's opinion, a tourist can enjoy Huaplee Beach most when he ________.‎ A. sits in a beach chair B. forgets his daily routine C. plans a detailed schedule D. draws pictures in the sand ‎66. What does the author imply by his question at the end of the passage?‎ A. He shouldn't have counted his blessings.‎ B. He should have understood the wonder of nature.‎ C. He shouldn't have spent so much time on the trip.‎ D. He should have come to the place earlier.‎ ‎【要点概述】 本文是一则广告。文章主要叙述了泰国美丽的海滨度假胜地Huaplee Beach,描述了这里美丽的景色、可口的饭菜以及缓慢的生活节奏,目的在于吸引更多的人来到这里。‎ ‎63. D 推理判断题。根据文章二段中的内容可知从曼谷去那里要花很长的时间,而且很少有游客能够找到这个地方。作者第一次去也花了很长的时间。所以D项正确。‎ ‎64. A 细节理解题。根据文章第五段中的“No menu here.”可知在这里吃饭是没有菜单的,都是量身定做的。所以A项正确。‎ ‎65. B 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段的内容可知,正常情况下,如果你是一个很难停下来并且很忙碌的人,那么来到这里,你就应该忘记一切,享受大自然的美丽。所以B项正确。‎ ‎66. D 推理判断题。根据全文的描述可知这里风景迷人、饭菜可口、生活惬意,作者后悔很晚才发现有这样的地方。所以D项正确。‎ ‎【六】‎ Want to improve your writing skills?

Because that is where it started: in the second half of the 19th century!‎ Welcome to a new Era of Kitchen Interior Design Back then, a Generation of successful American Entrepreneurs dreamt of a new style of Architecture to express their personal wealth. This dream was realized by young architects such as Daniel Burnham and Stanford White. They ‎ all had studied at the E'cole des BeauxArts in Paris. And they created a new style for Architecture and Interior Design, named after the famous French Art Institute: BeauxArts.‎ SieMatic BeauxArts breaks and creates In fact it was not a new style at all, but a composition of styles from different periods and cultures. Many worldfamous structures such as the Chicago Art Institute and the Statue of Liberty account for it. But what does that have to do with your kitchen? Just as much as you want it to. Because in the same way that the anticonventional architects back then took the freedom to combine elements from different historical eras, today, you too can break the conventional rules of style and create something new: your own personal composition of your kitchen. For that, SieMatic BeauxArts offers unique opportunities: A broad range of seemingly conflicting features that you ‎ combine to a harmonious design of your own. You can choose from menu of various forms, appealing colours, and precious materials, to create an environment that is much more than just a kitchen: a reflection of your personality.‎ ‎56.Why did the BeauxArts style attract American Entrepreneurs?‎ A.It helped display their money status.‎ B.It was created by famous architects.‎ C.It was named after a famous institute.‎ D.It represented the 19th century urban culture.‎ ‎57.What is unique of SieMatic BeauxArts?‎ A.Its designs are anticonventional.‎ B.Its designs come from famous structures.‎ C.Its customers can enjoy their own composition.‎ D.Its customers can choose from various new styles.‎ ‎【要点综述】 本文是一篇广告,介绍了SieMatic BeauxArts系列厨房的相关情况以及它吸引顾客的独特之处。‎ ‎56.A 细节理解题。由题干关键词American entrepreneurs 定位于第二段首句:一代成功的美国企业家梦想有新风格的建筑来表现出他们的个人财富(express their personal wealth)。从本段接下来的内容可知,年轻的建筑师创造的BeauxArts风格吸引了企业家们,从而帮助他们实现了梦想,故A项正确。‎ ‎57.C 细节理解题。根据最后一段第五句“Because in the same way that the anticonventional architects back then took the freedom to combine elements from different historical eras, today, you too can break the conventional rules of style and create something new: your own personal composition of your kitchen.”可知,SieMatic BeauxArts 的特别之处在于客户可以按照自己的喜好装饰厨房,故C项正确。‎ ‎【八】‎ August 1990, Boston Dear Maya Shaoming,‎ To me, June 6,1990 is a special day. My longawaited dream came true the minute ‎ your father cried, “A girl!” You are more than just a second child, more than just a girl to match our boy. You, little daughter, are the link to our female line, the legacy of another woman's pain and sacrifice 31 years ago.‎ Let me tell you about your Chinese grandmother. Somewhere in Hong Kong, in the late fifties, a young waitress found herself pregnant(怀孕) by a cook, probably a coworker at her restaurant. She carried the baby to term, suffered to give it birth, and kept the little girl for the first three months of her life. I like to think that my mother—your grandmother—loved me and fought to raise me on her own, but that the daily struggle was too hard. Worn down by the demands of the new baby and perhaps the constant threat of starvation, she made the painful decision to give away her girl so that both of us might have a chance for a better life. ‎ More likely, I was dropped at the orphanage(孤儿院) steps or somewhere else. I will probably never know the truth. Having a baby in her unmarried state would have brought shame on the family in China, so she probably kept my existence a secret. Once I was out of her life, it was as if I had never been born. And so you and your brother and I are the missing leaves on a family tree.‎ Do they ever wonder if we exist?‎ Before I was two, I was adopted by an Anglo couple. Fed three square meals a day, I grew like a wild weed and grasped all the opportunities they had to offer—books, music, education, church life and community activities. In a family of blueeyed blonds, though, I_stood_out_like_a_sore_thumb. Whether from jealousy or fear of someone who looked so different, my older brothers sometimes teased me about my unpleasing skin, or made fun of my clumsy walk. Moody and impatient, burdened by fears that none of us realized resulted from my early years of need, I was not an easy child to love. My mother and I conflicted countless times over the years, but gradually came to see one another as real human beings with faults and talents, and as women of strength in our own right. Lacking a mirror image in the mother who raised me, I had to seek my identity as a woman on my own. The Asian American community has helped me regain my double identity.‎ But part of me will always be missing: my beginnings, my personal history, all the delicate details that give a person her origin. Nevertheless, someone gave me a lucky name “Siu Wai”. “Siu” means “little”, and “Wai” means “clever”. Therefore, my baby name was “Clever little one”. Who chose those words? Who cared enough to note my arrival in the world?‎ I lost my Chinese name for 18 years. It was Americanized for convenience to ‎ ‎“Sue”. But like an illfitting coat, it made me uncomfortable. I hated the name. But even more, I hated being Chinese. It took many years to become proud of my Asian origin and work up the courage to take back my birthname. That, plus a little knowledge of classroom Cantonese, is all the Chinese culture I have to offer you. Not white, certainly, but not really Asian, I try to pave the way between the two worlds and bridge the gap for you. Your name, “Shaoming”, is very much like mine—“Shao” means “little”. And “ming” is “bright”, as in a shining sun or moon. Whose lives will you brighten, little Maya? Your_past_is_more_complete_than_mine,_and each day I cradle you in your babyhood, generously giving you the loving care I lacked for my first two years. When I pat you, I comfort the lost baby inside me who still cries for her mother.‎ Sweet Maya, it doesn't matter what you “become” later on. You have already fulfilled my wildest dreams.‎ I love you,‎ Mummy ‎65.Why is June 6, 1990 a special day for Mummy?‎ A.Her dream of being a mother came true.‎ B.She found her origin from her Chinese mother.‎ C.She wrote the letter to her daughter.‎ D.Her female line was well linked.‎ ‎66.How does Mummy feel about her being given away?‎ A.It is bitter and disappointing.‎ B.It is painful but understandable.‎ C.She feels sorry but sympathetic.‎ D.She feels hurt and angry.‎ ‎67.What does “I stood out like a sore thumb” in Paragraph 5 mean?‎ A.I walked clumsily out of pains.‎ B.I was not easy to love due to jealousy.‎ C.I was impatient out of fear.‎ D.I looked different from others.‎ ‎68.What can be inferred from Mummy's Anglo family life?‎ A.She used to experience an identity crisis.‎ B.She fought against her American identity.‎ C.She forgot the pains of her early years.‎ D.She kept her love for Asia from childhood.‎ ‎69.Why did Mummy name her daughter “Shaoming”?‎ A.To match her own birthname.‎ B.To brighten the lives of the family.‎ C.To identify her with Chinese origin.‎ D.To justify her pride in Chinese culture.‎ ‎70.By “Your past is more complete than mine,” Mummy means ________.‎ A.her past was completed earlier than Shaoming's B.Shaoming has got motherly care and a sense of roots C.her mother didn't comfort her the way she did Shaoming D.her past was spent brokenly, first in Asia, then in the US ‎【要点综述】 本文是一篇书信。作者给自己深爱的女儿写信,此时她还是一个婴儿。在信中作者回忆往事,并憧憬着女儿的未来。‎ ‎65.D 细节理解题。A项说她成为母亲的梦想实现了,由首段的“You are more than just a second child …”可知她已经有个儿子了;B项说从她中国妈妈那儿她找到了根源,文中没有提及;C项说她写信给她的女儿,这和题干所问没有联系;D项说她与母系一脉相承。由首段的the link to our female line可知答案选D。‎ ‎66.B 推理判断题。根据第二段的“She carried the baby to term, suffered to give it birth…”可以推断出本句表达的是对母亲的理解;再根据此段最后一句中“…she made the painful decision to give away her girl…”可知这是一个痛苦的决定,故B项正确。‎ ‎67.D 推理判断题。根据此句后的“…someone who looked so ‎ different…”可知,这里的someone指的就是作者本人,这句话是对画线句的补充和解释,故只有D项符合题意。‎ ‎68.A 推理判断题。根据第五段中“…I was not an easy child to love.”和倒数第二句“Lacking a mirror image in the mother who raised me, I had to seek my identity as a woman on my own.”可知作者因为不知道身世来源而感到困惑,进而使得自己不受人喜欢,即她过去经历了身份危机,故A项正确。‎ ‎69.C 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“Your name, ‘Shaoming’ is very much like mine…”和“It took many years to become proud of my Asian origin…”可知女儿的名字和作者的很像,而作者的名字和亚洲的来源相关,故C项“把她和中国的来源联系起来”符合文意。‎ ‎70.B 推理判断题。根据此句后的解释“…and each day I cradle you in your babyhood, generously giving you the loving care I lacked for my first two years.”可知她女儿得到了母爱,得到了一种归属感,即B项正确。‎ ‎【九】‎ HOLIDAY FUN AT THE POWERHOUSE ‎500 HARRIS STREET ULTIMO·TELEPHONE ‎(02) 9217 0111‎ Join in the holiday fun at the Powerhouse this month linked to our new exhibition, Evolution & Revolution: Chinese dress 1700s to now.
