26、 I made a promise to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts.
The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting a Biblical passage about husbands and their wives. Then he went on to say, “Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change.
And it did. Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks great on you.” “Oh, Tom, you noticed”, she said, surprised and pleased. Maybe a little puzzled. After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, “Evelyn’s been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me.” We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.
So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that’s how the whole vacation passed. I made a new promise to keep on remembering to choose love.
There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today. On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression.
“What’s the matter?” I asked her.
“Tom,” she said in a voice filled with sadness, “ I don’t?”
“What do you mean?”
“Well…that checkup I had several weeks ago…our doctor…did he tell you something about me? Tom, you’ve been so good to me…am I dying?”
It took a moment for it all to be understood. Then I burst out laughing.
“No, honey,” I said, wrapping her in my arms. “You’re not dying; I’m just starting to live.”
【1】From the story we may infer that Tom drove to the beach cottage______.
A.with his family B.with Evelyn C.alone D.with his children

28、 Human remains of ancient settlements will be reburied and lost to science under a law that threatens research into the history of humans in Britain, a group of leading archeologists (考古学家) says. In a letter addressed to the justice secretary, Ken Clarke, 40 archaeologists write of their “deep and widespread concern” about the issue. It centers on the law introduced by the Ministry of Justice in 2008 which requires all human remains unearthed in England and Wales to be reburied within two years, regardless of their age. The decision means scientists have too little time to study bones and other human remains of national and cultural significance.
“Your current requirement that all archaeologically unearthed human remains should be reburied, whether after a standard period of two years or further special extension, is contrary to basic principles of archaeological and scientific research and of museum practice,” they write.
The law applies to any pieces of bone uncovered at around 400 dig including the remains of 60 or so bodies found at Stonehenge in 2008 that date back to 3,000 BC. Archaeologists have been granted a temporary extension to give them more time, but eventually the bones will have to he returned to the ground.
The arrangements may result in the waste of future discoveries at sites such as Happisburgh in Norfolk, where digging is continuing after the discovery of stone tools made by early humans 950,000 years ago. If human remains were found at Happisburgh, they would be the oldest in northern Europe and the first indication of what this species was. Under the current practice of the law those remains would have to be reburied and effectively destroyed.
Before 2008, guidelines allowed for the proper preservation and study of bones of sufficient age and historical interest, while the Burial Act 1857 applied to more recent remains. The Ministry of Justice assured archaeologists two years ago that the law was temporary, but has so far failed to revise it.
Mike Parker Pearson, an archaeologist at Sheffield University, said: “Archaeologists have been extremely patient because we were led to believe the ministry was sorting out this problem, but we feel that we cannot wait any longer.”
The ministry has no guidelines on where or how remains should be reburied, or on what records should be kept.
【1】According to the passage, scientists are unhappy with the law mainly because .
A.it is only a temporary measure on the human remains
B.it was introduced by the government without their knowledge
C.it is unreasonable and thus destructive to scientific research
D.it is vague about where and how to rebury human remains
【2】Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A.Temporary extension of two years will guarantee scientists enough time.
B.Human remains of the oldest species were dug out at Happisburgh.
C.Scientists have been warned that the law can hardly be changed.
D.Human remains will have to be reburied despite the extension of time.
【3】What can be inferred about the British law governing human remains?
A.The Ministry of Justice has not done enough about the law.
B.The Burial Act 1857 only applied to remains uncovered before 1857.
C.The law on human remains hasn’t changed in recent decades.
D.The Ministry of Justice did not intend it to protect human remains.
【4】Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A.New discoveries should be reburied, the government demands.
B.Law could bury ancient secrets for ever, archeologists warn.
C.Law on human remains needs thorough discussion, authorities say.
D.Research time should be extended, scientists require.
29、 Have you ever noticed that your fingertips are wrinkled (起皱的) when you’ve just finished swimming or washing dishes? It seems as if your hands have aged 30 years in a second. But is this an accident? Or is it something that nature has built into our bodies?
“If your finger’s wrinkling up had no use at all, it wouldn’t need to.” Professor Tom Smulders from Newcastle University UK told BBC News. By studying wet fingers closely, Smulders and his partners found that the wrinkles looked a bit like the patterns on the car tire or the bottom of the running shoes. So they made a guess that wrinkles on fingers might be able to help the hand hold things more tightly.
To test this, researchers asked 20 people to pick up marbles (大理石) from water with their hands. But before they started, some of the people had to keep their hands in water for half an hour. The researchers found that the people with wrinkled fingers completed the task faster than those with dry hands. But when they were asked to move dry marbles, all the people performed equally well no matter they had the wrinkled fingers or not. Researchers said our ancestors might not have played with marbles but wrinkled fingers could have made it easier for them to climb around in the wet forests and catch fish from rivers. Similarly, our toes also get wrinkled in water. This may have developed from our ancestors need to run on wet ground.
But the question is if wrinkled fingers are so helpful, why don’t our hands just stay that way all the time? Researchers explained that wrinkling had its disadvantage: wet fingertips are far less sensitive than smooth ones, reducing our sense of touch.
【1】What does the underlined word “this” in the third paragraph refer to?
A.Whether fingers have wrinkles after they are put in water.
B.Whether wrinkled fingers can hold things more tightly.
C.Why keeping things in water makes them wrinkled.
D.Why wrinkles help hands hold things more tightly.
【2】The test shows that _________.
A.wrinkled hands hold dry things more tightly than dry hands do
B.dry hands hold dry things more tightly than wrinkled hands do
C.wrinkled hands hold wet things more tightly than dry hands do
D.dry hands hold wet things more tightly than wrinkled hands do
【3】What might be the disadvantage of wrinkled fingers?
A.They are too sensitive to be touched.
B.They might be more likely to get hurt.
C.They cannot hold things tightly enough.
D.They are not so sensitive as dry fingers.
30、In life, we will succeed and fail often for reasons that are entirely out of our control. For instance, we can be _________ nice and love someone deeply, and they may not love us _________. We can work harder than anyone else in the office and still not be promoted to management. We can eat _________ food, exercise and stay away from alcohol and cigarettes, and still get sick.

That is a bitter pill to _________ for many of us. As a result, some people shut down after being hit by even one unfair blow from life.

For example, my first marriage _________ divorce (离婚). To me, it felt very unfair. However hard I had tried to be a good wife, I could not make the relationship work. I could have been _________ by that experience and decided that if one person didn’t appreciate me as a wife, then no one would. I could have ______________. ____________, I knew I wanted to be married and experience traditional family life. Then I met my present husband and now have a happy family.
What I’ve learned over the years is that we can do all the things that deserve a good result, but get bad things in return ____________. When life doesn’t go ____________ plan, we have to ____________ the result that we have been looking forward to and keep trying, and doing the right thing. Accept that life is neither fair nor easy. ____________ we remain confident, we can drive our unfair experiences away and use them for our benefit.
