I would like to say something about this special woman I call “Mommy”.My mom does what a mom needs to do every day. She picks me up from school, drives me to meetings, cooks dinner, and helps me with my homework. This is just part of what makes her great, though.She is my best friend and can immediately notice when I am unhappy. She helps me solve problems that my friends do not understand. Mommy makes me laugh when times are tough. I look forward to coming home because I know there is someone there who cares about what I have done.Mommy has always tried to be like a “normal” mom. But I think my mother is a wonderful woman and she doesn’t need to change. She teaches me life lessons that no teachers or friends can. She shows me how to accept everyone for what is inside, rather than what is on the outside.You may have realized that all the qualities I admire have nothing to do with what she looks like. Everyone could be the way she is, but most are not.I want everyone to look beyond the surface and see what is inside others. You may fail to notice someone who is very special like my mom because you cannot accept their outside features.24. What’s the function(作用) of Paragraph 1?A.

The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.28.

Here are so me amusing stories about him.When he arrived in New York to be a professor at Princeton University, Einstein felt stressed about visitors and newsmen. So his friends took him off the ship secretly before it docked (靠上码头) and hurried him away by car.Einstein said that only twelve people at that time understood his Theory of Relativity(相对论),although more than nine hundred books had been written to explain it.Mrs. Einstein admitted that even she did not understand the Theory of Relativity; but she understood something far more important for a wife; she understood her husband.She used to invite some friends in for tea and then she would ask her husband to come downstairs and join them.“No!” Einstein would say with anger. He simply couldn’t stand those “inte rruptions (打扰)”.But Mrs. Einstein persuaded her husband with great patience and had him drink tea with them and take a good rest.Mrs. Einstein said that her husband liked order in his thinking, but he didn’t like it in his life. He did whatever he wanted to.Einstein had only two rules of conduct (行为准则):one was “Don’t be restrained (限制) by any rule”, and the other was “Be independent from the opinions of others”.Einstein led a very simple life. When he went out, he was always in old clothes, and seldom did he wear a hat. He liked to whistle and sing in the bathroom.He shaved with the same soap as he used for his bath. It seems strange that the great scientist trying to solve the mysteries of the universe should consider that using two pieces of soap made life too complicated.Einstein said he was happy because he didn’t want money or titles or foolish praises. He made his own happiness out of such simple things as playing the violin and sailing his boat.Einstein’s violin brought him more joy than anythin g else in his life. He said he often thought in music and made his day-dreams in music.32.Albert Einstein was taken off the ship secretly by his friends because .A. he dared not see anyoneB. he didn’t want to meet visitors and reportersC. he wanted to save the timeD. he was afraid of being stopped by someoneually Einstein would refuse to join some friends, for .A. he couldn’t stand being disturbedB. he was ashamed to meet friendsC. he disliked making friendsD. he was angry with his friends34.Why did he shave with the same soap as he used for his bath?A. It was his special habit of shaving.B. He was lazy.C. He wanted to be an independent man.D. He didn’t want life to be complicated.35.What do you think of Einstein?A. He was a strange scientist.B. He liked order in his life.C. He was a simple man with great achievements.D. He didn’t like order in his work.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。
