On a freezing afternoon, I picked up a wallet...

On a freezing afternoon, I picked up a wallet in the street. There was no identification(身份证) inside. Just three dollars, and an old letter that looked as if it had been carried around for years. I opened the letter and saw that it had been written in 1924——almost 60 years ago. I read it carefully, hoping to find some clue to find the wallet’s owner.

It was a “Dear John” letter. The writer, in a delicate script(娟秀的字迹),told her lover, whose name was Michael, that her mother did not allow her to see him again. It was signed Hannah and her phone number. So I called.

“No, of course! We bought this house from Hannah thirty years ago. Hannah had to live in the nursing home many years ago. Maybe you can go there.”

Then I phoned the nursing home and was told, “Yes, Hannah is with us. Hannah was a sweet, silver-haired old-woman with a warm smile and friendly eyes. ”

I went up to the third floor of the nursing home. I showed her the wallet and the letter. The moment she saw it, she took a deep breath. “Young man,” she said, “this letter was the last contact I had with Michael. ” She then said deeply: “I loved him very much. But I was only sixteen and my mother felt I was too young. I never did marry, I guess no one ever matched up to Michael...”

I took the elevator to the first floor. As I stood at the door, holding the letter to the guard. He looked at it closely and said, “Hey, I know ,the letter is Mr. Goldstein’s. He’s always losing it.”

“Who’s Mr. Goldstein?” I asked. “He’s one of the old-timers on the eighth floor. That’s Michael Goldstein’s wallet, for sure. We went there where Michael Goldstein was reading a book. I told him I know where Hannah is.”He grew pale. “Hannah? You know where she is? How is she? When that letter came, my life ended. I never married. I guess I’ve always loved her.”

“Michael,” I said. “Come with me.” We three took the elevator to the third floor. We walked toward the Hannah’s room, still watching TV. Michael Goldstein went over to her.“Hannah,” he said softly. “Do you know me? Hannah, I’m Michael, Michael Goldstein. Do you remember?”

“Michael? Michael? It’s you!”He walked slowly and they embraced(拥抱)

tearfully. A perfect ending for a love affair that had lasted nearly 60 years.

Many people rely on a cup of coffee or two to wake them up in the morning or pick them up during the working day, but now a chemist has come up with a speedy alternative to crafting a cup of coffee.

U.S. biochemist Ben Yu has created ‘Sprayable Energy,’ which claims to be the world’s first caffeine - based topical energy spray. He said tired workers can spray a ‘shot’ of caffeine onto their skin without experiencing a strong buzz, loading up on unnecessary calories or being stuck with a nasty aftertaste like they might get from drinking energy drinks or coffee.

The patent-pending caffeine spray is an odourless liquid that is absorbed through the skin and distributed through the body over a number of hours to deliver a caffeine hit that apparently lasts longer than guzzling a cup of coffee.

Each small aluminum bottle of Sprayable Energy contains around 160 sprays - the equivalent amount of caffeine to 40 cups of coffee and the creators say it is a much cheaper way of getting a caffeine fix than popping to a café. The only active ingredient in the spray is caffeine, which can naturally enter the human body through the skin by passing through cell membranes as it is very similar to nicotine in structure. Each spritz of Sprayable Energy contains around a quarter of the amount of caffeine found in a cup of coffee, but apparently has the same effect as a full cup.

The website said: ‘The reason for this is our product not being ingested, isn’t almost entirely metabolised（新陈代谢） by the liver before entering your system and becoming available to your body.’‘Thus, a smaller amount of caffeine can have just the same effect as a very large amount of caffeine ingested through an energy drink or cup of coffee. Sprayable Energy`s website recommends that users apply the spray in places where they normally spritz perfume, such as the neck or wrists, but warns users not to exceed 20 sprays a day.

It claims that after spraying the product on the skin, users will feel ‘awake and focused without being over-stimulated’, which is common with coffee and energy drinks.

1.What can we learn about Sprayable Energy from the passage ?_______.

A. A bottle of Sprayable Energyis cheaper than 40 cups of coffee. .

B. Sprayable Energy lets users not worry about taking in unnecessary calories..

C. Sprayable Energy can be used at least 20 sprays a day

D. The caffeine spray is a colorless liquid that is absorbed through the skin..

2.What does the fifth paragraph mainly tell us ?____

A, Sprayable Energy is taken by mouth...

B. Before Sprayable Energy is absorbed by body, the liver entirely metabolizes it

C. How Sprayable Energy acts on user’s body and how users use the product.

D. Sprayable Energy is convenient but expensive.

3.We can conclude from the passage that ____

A.Sprayable Energy can not be permitted to be used by people now.

B. Sprayable Energy has not already gone into mass production

C. Each spritz of Sprayable Energy has the same effect as a full cup of coffee

D. Sprayable Energy is well received by flagging workers.

4.The writer’s attitude towards Sprayable Energy ______

A. negative.　　　　　　　 B. positive

C. uncertain　　　　　　　 D. indifferent

One warm day when I was walking in my backyard, I saw a pinecone(松球) on the ground. I picked it up, and some seeds fell out of it. Those seeds would be a tasty treat for a squirrel (松鼠).

I realized that pinecones were not always open like this one. Sometimes cones were tightly closed. I decided to find out why.

I gathered pinecones from my backyard. I watched them for over a year. Here’s what I learned.

Pinecones open and close slowly as the weather changes. When it’s cold or wet, cones are tightly closed. This protects the seeds inside from rain and snow.

When the weather becomes warm and dry, pinecones open. On a hot day, you might even hear the sound of cones popping open. The seeds inside may then fall to the ground. The wind may blow the seeds to places where they can grow into new pine trees. A seed has a better chance of taking root and growing when the weather is warm.

“Pine seeds are an important source of food for many animals,” says Monty Maldonado. He is a pinecone expert with the United States Forest Service. He says squirrels depend on pinecone seeds for most of their meals. They spend lots of time gathering and storing the cones. Maldonado says some animals eat only the seeds from a pinecone. But red squirrels and gray squirrels will eat the whole thing.

Small animals aren’t the only creatures that eat pine seeds. Maldonado says big grizzly bears (灰熊) and people eat them, too.

Seeds inside a pinecone are important for the growth of new trees and as food for animals. It is the pinecone’s job to protect them. So take note of the pinecones you see on the ground. They hold treasures inside.

45．According to the passage, when it is rainy, cones          .

A．are open   B．are usually shut       C．grow quickly    D．stop growing

46．According to Monty Maldonado,        .

A．not all squirrels eat the whole pinecone

B．pine seeds are difficult to find for many animals

C．people in the forest are sometimes attacked by grizzly bears

D．most small animals depend on pinecone seeds for their meals

47．We can learn from the passage that on sunny days         .

A．seeds may fall out of the cones

B．squirrels stay still in their nests

C．it’s difficult for a seed to take root

D．the wind will put the pine trees in danger

48．In the last paragraph, the author points out that         .

A．more and more new trees need to be planted in future

B．people should be responsible for protecting animals

C．people should be careful not to damage the pinecones

D．squirrels now have few seeds to feed themselves

49．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．The author learned why pinecones are not always open in the forest.

B．The author gathered pinecones and observed them for a month.

C．The author is fond of gathering and storing the cones.

D．Pine trees are precious to animals and people.
