[简答题]Every year on my birthday, from the time I turned 12, a white gardenia was delivered to my house in Bethesda, Md. {{U}}No card or note came with it. Calls to the florist were always in vain--it was a cash purchase. After a while I stopped trying to discover the sender’s identity and just delighted in the beauty and heady perfume of that one magical, perfect white flower nestled in soft pink tissue paper. But I never stopped imagining who the anonymous giver might be. Some of my happiest moments were spent daydreaming about someone wonderful and exciting but too shy or eccentric to make known his or her identity. My mother contributed to these imaginings. She’d ask me if there was someone for whom I had done a special kindness who might be showing appreciation. Perhaps the neighbour I’d help when she was unloading a car full of groceries. Or maybe it was the old man across the street whose mail I retrieved during the winter so he wouldn’t have to venture down his icy steps.{{/U

[单项选择]On the fourth Thursday of November, every year, Americans celebrate Thanksgiving Day. The day is a national holiday which is set aside each year as a time to give thanks to God for our blessings (祝福).

In the autumn of 1621, bountiful crops of corn, beans and pumpkins were harvested. The colonists had much to be thankful for, so a feast was planned. They invited their Indian friends to join them in a large feast to share in the bounties (慷慨) of the land. This is the first Thanksgiving.

[单项选择]Passage One Every Thursday afternoon, my art history class meets not in our lecture hall but in the Yale University Art Gallery. We spend our one-hour class discussing two or three of the paintings, many of which are by artists that we have already studied in class. The professor begins by selecting one work of art. After giving us a quick background on the artist, he’ll open up for class discussion. Everyone is strongly encouraged to give opinions to the work. Not every piece we study is necessarily famous or striking in appearance and subject matter, yet we always manage to make some interesting observations. In America, professors always take every opportunity to push textbooks aside and expose students to real world experiences. With some creativity, almost any can be applied to such beyond the classroom learning. My art history class trips to the gallery are but one example. Many other disciplines also offer opportunities to learn outside the classroom, for inst

People are busy working every day, so they do not have enough time to do exercises. As a result(结果), many people become too fat or too thin. To keep our bodies healthy, we have to do exercises every day.
There are many kinds of exercises. Bending(弯腰) and stretching(伸展) helps us move easily. Before we play ball games or swim, it is better for us to do bending and stretching exercises first.

You could turn your back for a moment in my mothers house, leave a half written letter on the dining table, a magazine open on the chair, and turn around to find that my mother had “put it back where it belonged,” as she explained.My wife, on one of her first visits to my mothers house, placed a packet of biscuits on an end table and went to the kitchen to fetch a drink.
