But whenever I felt sad or lonely, Dad was always there. When I was in high school, Dad retired(退休) and set up a food stand on the street near my school. Every day when I finished school, my classmates and I would pass his food stand. But I really hated talking to Dad, because I did not want my classmates to know my dad was selling noodles on the street! One night, I couldn’t stand it anymore and shouted, “Dad, could you stop selling your stupid noodles? I don’t need a father who sells noodles on the street!” At that moment, Dad was shocked. He tried to say something but didn’t. His eyes were filled with tears and sadness. It was the first time for me to see Dad crying. My mum later told me Dad was selling noodles to save money for my college education. Even today I still feel guilty(内疚的)for that night. Time really flies. I finished college and then left my home city. For the past ten years, whenever I visited home, Dad was always there meeting me and seeing me off quietly at the railway station. When I was away, Dad never wrote or called me, but he always pushed my mum to call me. That’s the way Dad shows his love to me. 39. What did the writer use to think of his father? A. He thought his father loved him very much. B. He didn’t think his father loved him. C. He thought his father felt sad. D. He thought his father felt lonely. 40.

Because he didn’t like his father’s job. 42. What does the text mainly tell us? A. The writer was really regretful(后悔的) for what he said. B. The father’s love was silent because it was in his heart. C. Never shout to your father because it is wrong. D. Time really flies so a child usually grows up quickly. C EP Portable(可携带的) Heater We all know that the cost of heating（加热)our homes is becoming higher and higher. Now millions of people are trying to save money, they are using this kind of new EP portable heater. The new EP heats better and faster, but runs less electricity(电）, and runs almost silently. The EP won’t cause a fire. The outside of the EP only gets warm to the touch so that it will not hurt children or pets. The EP will not make oxygen(氧气) in the room less. With other heaters, you’ll notice that you get sleepy when the heat comes on. The new EP also heats the room evenly, wall to wall and floor to top. It comfortably covers an area up to about 25 m². Other heaters heat rooms unevenly with most of the heat in the center of the room. And they only heat an area less than one meter around the heater. With the EP, the temperature will not be different in any part of the room. The EP comes with a 3-year warranty(保修). And if you don’t think it’s so good after buying one, return it in 60 days and your money will be given back to you without questions asked. Now we have a special offer for 10 days, during which you can enjoy a half price and we will help you send it home. If you order after that, you’ll not have the chance to buy it at that price. 43. The new EP ______. A. makes people get sleepy B. produces oxygen C. hurts children and pets D. almost runs without any noise 44. With the EP, the temperature will be ______ in any part of the room. A. the same B. different C. very high D. very low 45.The main purpose of the passage is to ______.  A. ask people to buy the product B. tell people to save on heating bills C. report the new development of heaters D. show different kinds of heaters D I love visiting new cities and seeing all of their famous tourist places. Not long ago, I visited the German city of Leipzig. Leipzig is quite a big city, and there’s so much to do and see. These are the top three places I visited in the city. The Museum of Fine Arts Sometimes art museums can be a little bit boring but I really enjoyed visiting Leipzig’s Museum of Fine Arts. Set up in 1848, the museum has a collection of about 4, 600 paintings (from the Late Middle Ages to modern day). I love learning about different artists from across the ages. The St. Nicholas Church This is a church (教堂) with a very interesting past. In the past it was a popular place for famous musicians and the sound there was the best in the city. I had heard a lot about this church, so it was amazing to finally visit it in person. Inside, there are beautiful paintings on the wall and it is very peaceful. Leipzig Zoo I think Leipzig has one of the best zoos in the world — Leipzig Zoo! The zoo is famous for its large building projects such as Gondwanaland — world’s second largest indoor rainforest. As you walk in Gondwanaland, it feels like you’re going through the rainforest of Africa, Asia and South America. The best part of Leipzig Zoo is the safari (游猎) area. There’s a real river and you can travel down it on a boat. It is so cool! ( )46. The Museum of Fine Arts has a history of about ______. A. 100 years B. 120 years C. 174 years D. 170 years ( )47.
