My 4-year-old son now enjoys 21 letters. He has formed the habit of drawing pictures, writing his name on them, and then putting the artwork in a(n) 22 . He then insists 23 posting his handwork to the neighbors, and a mail box he chose belongs to the elderly couple who live next door. To be honest, I didn’t think much of it, but I had 24 to warn my neighbors of the drawings suddenly appearing in their letterboxes—I just didn’t have the time to do so, because I was a little 25 recently.
On Tuesday of last week, I was walking down to school to collect my son when I met Mary, my elderly neighbor, 26 at her mail box. She said, “Jodie, is it your little son that has been posting items in my letterbox to me?” I was at once 27 , “Oh yes, Mary, it is. I’m sorry. I meant to tell you…” She 28 me off, “Jodie, I just love his mail. I’ve kept every item he has sent. You don’t know how much 29 the letters has made my day. I just love them.” While I was walking down to school after our talk, many thoughts came to me. Mary doesn’t have a lot to fill her days, 30 she was a mother to a number of children herself who receives fairly regular visitors. The small act of getting some mail—pictures drawn by the hand of a young child—has brought 31 to her days, just as my visit to my grandparents does.
I have decided that my son should 32 this practice. He should also start sending some items to his grandparents in Perth as well. It will most 33 make their day.
It’s doing the little, 34 things that can often make a big 35 in someone’s life.

阅读理解:36-50题;每题3分,共45分。阅读下列短文,然后根据短文的内容从每小题的四个选择项中选出最佳的一项。
A
Most Americans believe that someone isn’t grown-up until the age of 26 and they should complete their education, have a full-time job, have a family to support and be financially independent. They also believe that becoming a real grown-up is a process which begins at about the age of 20 and takes about five years, according to the report from the University of Chicago’s National Opinion Research Center.
The findings are based on a representative sample (代表性样本) of 1,398 people over the age of 18 who were surveyed in person. The survey found that people expect the transitions (过度,转变) to grown-up status to be completed at the following ages: age 20 self-supporting; age 21 no longer living with parents; age 22 having a full-time job; age 22.5 education completed; age 24.5 being able to support a family financially; age 26 getting married; and age 26.5 having a child.
“There is a large degree of agreement across social groups on the relative importance of the seven transitions,” said Tom Smith, director of the survey. The only obvious pattern of differences is on views about supporting a family, having children and getting married. Older adults consider these more important than younger adults do. This probably shows in large part a change in values across generations away from traditional family values. The most valued step toward reaching adulthood, the survey found, is completing education, followed by full-time employment, supporting a family, financial independence, living independently, and marriage.

For most Americans, which of the following is NOT considered when they grow up?

Happy April Fool’s Day! In celebration of the day, we have put together a list of some of the greatest hoaxes (恶作剧) in history. They are the lies that have been designed for innocent people who are ready to believe them.
▲INSTANT COLOR TV
In 1962 there was only one TV channel in Sweden, and it broadcast in black and white. The station’s Kjell Stepson, appeared on the news to announce that thanks to a newly developed technology, all viewers could now quickly and easily transform their existing sets to display color reception. All they had to do was pull a nylon stocking over their TV screen, and they would begin to see their favorite shows in color. Reportedly, hundreds of thousands of people, were taken in. Actual color TV transmission only started to appear in Sweden on April 1, 1970.
▲SAN SERRIFFE
In 1977 the British newspaper The Guardian published a special seven-page supplement (增刊) in honor of the tenth anniversary of San Serfiffe, a small republic located in the Indian Ocean. A series of articles affectionately asked for more information about the beautiful holiday spot. Few noticed that everything about the island was made up.
▲NIXON FOR PRESIDENT
In 1992 American National Public Radio’s Talk of the Nation program announced that Richard Nixon, in a surprise move, was running for President again. His new campaign slogan was, “I didn’t do anything wrong, and I won’t do it again.” Accompanying this announcement were audio clips (片段) of Nixon delivering his election speech. Listeners responded immediately to the announcement, flooding the show with calls expressing shock and anger. Only during the second half of the show did the host John Huckleberry reveal that the announcement was a practical joke. Nixon’s voice was copied by comedian Rich Little.
