I had to ride the bus whenever I came home. Though the bus stoppe about two miles from home，Dad never met me，even in severe weather. If I grutnbled，he’d say in his loudest father一voice，“That’s what your legs are for！”‎ ‎ The walk didn’t bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads. I also felt less than valued that my father didn’t seem concerned about my safety. But that feeling was canceled one spring evening.‎ ‎ It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs. I longed for home.‎ ‎ When the bus reached the stop，I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home.‎ ‎ A row of hedge(树篱)edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey，I always had a sense of relief to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home. On that particular evening，the hedge had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedge，moving toward the house. Upon closer observation，I realized it was the top of my father’s head. Then I knew，each time I’d come home，he had stood behind the hedge，watching，until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed hard against the tears. He did care，after all.‎ ‎ On later visits，that spot of gray became my watchtower. I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery. Upon reaching home，I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair.“So！My son，it’s you！”he’d say，his face lengthening into pretended surprise.‎ ‎ I replied，“Yes，Dad，it’sme.I’m home.”‎ ‎24.

My Father’s Secret.‎ C ‎ World Book Day falls on April 23rd every year，but do you know that it is also Shakespeare Day?‎ ‎ Everybody may have heard of Shakespeare，but do you know how many plays he wrote?‎ ‎ Shakespeare’s plays have three kinds：tragedies，comedies and histories. His most famous play is the tragic story of Romeo and Juliet，which deals with two young lovers who are not allowed to marry by their parents. Other tragedies include Hamlet，Othello，and Macbeth.‎ ‎ Shakespeare’s comedies include Much Ado About Nothing ,A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Twelfth Night. Twelfth Night is a play about unclear identities. Two twins are shipwrecked (遭海难)and the sister，Viola，dresses up as her brother，Sebastian，who she thinks is dead. It’s funny，because the brother reappears and there’s a big love problem going on：Viola is in love with the Duke，who is in love with Olivia，who falls in love with Sebastian except that she doesn’t realize that Sebastian is actually Viola dressed up！Everybody falls in love with the wrong person，but it is all made right in the end.‎ ‎ Some of his history plays，such as Antony and Cleopatra，Richard III and Henry V, are based on the lives of real historical people. In Antony and Cleopatra，Cleopatra becomes Antony’s girlfriend and Antony becomes so crazy about her that he loses control of the army. Cleopatra kills herself in the end and Antony kills himself too.‎ Shakespeare’s plays can he very difficult sometimes.

But designer Mikhail Belyaev doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. That’s why he created Lampbrella，a lamp post with its own rain sensing umbrella.‎ ‎ The designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia.“Once，I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy(伞蓬)built into a street lamp.”he said.‎ ‎ The Latuphrella is a standard一looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built－in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand. Sensors then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining.‎ ‎ In addition to the rain sensor，there’s also a 3600motion sensor on the fiberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone’s using the Lamphrella. After three minutes of not being used，the canopy is closed.‎ ‎ According to the designer，the Larnpbrella would move at a relatively low speed，so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. Besides，it would be grounded to protect from possible lighting strike. Each Lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed at 2 meters off the ground，it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.‎ ‎ While there are no plans to take the L.amphrella into production，Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department，and insists this creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.‎ ‎32. For what purpose did Belyaev create the Lamphrella?‎ A. To protect people from the rain. B. To check the weather forecast.‎ C. To predict a heavy rain. D. To remind people to take an umbrella.‎ ‎33. What do we know from Belyaev’s words in Paragraph 2?‎ A. He enjoyed taking walks in the rain. B. Street lamps are protected by canopies.‎ C. It rains a lot in the city of Saint Petersburg. D. His creation was inspired by an experience.‎ ‎34. What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the Lampbrella?‎ A. Its moving speed. B. Its appearance. C. Its safety. D. Its installation.‎ ‎35. What can he inferred from the last paragraph?‎ A. The designer will open a company to promote his product.‎ B. The designer is confident that his creation is practical.‎ C. The Lamphrella could be put into immediate production.‎ D. The Lampbrella would he put on show in Moscow.‎ 第二节（共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎ Change is scary. 36 It can go hand in hand with the fear that we might hurt someone else if we think about ourselves. The truth is that you’re so much more courageous than you give yourself credit for and far stronger than you realize. Here are some ways that you can use to help yourself make the process of creating change more manageable.‎ ‎ Make change into small bite size pieces. 37 Remember that as long as you attempt to take regu-lar practice towards your goal，such as eating more healthily every day，or walking twenty minutes a day, you’ re heading in the right direction to make changes.‎ ‎ From a habit of keeping a diary every day .Writing a journal every night before going to bed can ef-fectively help you cope with the emotional impact of the change process.Go to grab a pen or pencil and remember a journal is not for being neat and tidy with good spelling. 38 ‎ ‎ Rest is necessary to success.Have a rest and take timeout to build your energy. 39 If we don’t give ourselves time to rest，we just end up burning out by the constant striving and worry. As we don’t have the energy to keep going，we have to give up!‎ ‎ 40 Just accept it！I’m sorry to say that unless some people are really secure in themselves and truly happy in their own life，they’re never going to like your changes. This has nothing to do with wheth-er they love you or not. They are just for self－preservation!Therefore，give them a little time to adjust and get used to it.‎ A. It is a step into the unknown.‎ B. It’s not being lazy to have timeout.‎ C. No one else is going to like your changes.‎ D. Don’t try to eat the elephant in one sitting.‎ E. Creating change is about building your character.‎ F.
