A heavy snowfall covered the ground of the nursing home as I pulled into the parking lot. On Saturday mornings the facility was quieter, without all the office personnel and sales sentatives. I enjoyed weekends and liked working as the charge nurse here. My Big Boys，as I called them, were sitting there watching TV. I loved the stories these retired men of various occupations told. There were and businessmen alike enjoying the questions I asked them about their youths. My question that day was, "Did you like to play in the snow when you were young?"
They were excited after hearing my question. All of them had a story to tell about the snowmen they built or the games they played in the snow.
"But I haven' t felt snow in many years," said Stanley from his wheelchair. The men gazed longingly out of the large picture window.
"Snow won't last long," said another.
I saw the little boys inside these elderly men. I wondered... could I...dared I? Why not? I might get reprimanded, but I would not get fired.
I gathered up some huge containers and went out of the back door, filling all the containers with snow. I took the first container of snow inside to Stanley. "Do you remember making a snowball?"
Stanley smiled, reached, took a handful of the snow and began forming a ball.

"Tom! " Stanley shouted as he threw the ball at the man near the door. Then all the men got into the action.

" Catch this one ! " another challenged.
The fights lasted until the snow was melted and the floor looked like a water line. Their smiles and energy brightened the day.

Harper Lee (1926-2016) was an American novelist widely known for To Kill a Mockingbird( published in 1960) , which won the 1961 Pulitzer Prize and has become a classic of modern American literature. The 1962 film adaptation starring Gregory Peck won three Academy Awards.
For decades, the book was Lee's only major work of published fiction, but it was hugely influential for generations of US readers. It has sold more than 10 million copies, and is one of the most widely taught novels in US schools. In 2007 Lee was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her contribution to literature.
Lee wanted to live a simple life and was never comfortable with the attention the novel won her, and she practically disappeared from public life after it appeared. The world, however, continued waiting for a new novel from her, and on occasion she hinted that she had a story in progress.
In 2015, a book did come out. Go Set a Watchman was more of a first draft, featuring Scout, the young girl who was the main character of To Kill a Mockingbird. Go Set a Watchman tells a story of Scout as an adult. Accusations arose that the 89-year-old Lee was not able to consent to(赞成) the manuscript' s release, and that various patties had signed on her behalf.
Though Lee moved in 1949 to New York, she spent many years guarding her privacy in Monroeville, which served as clear inspiration for the setting in To Kill a Mockingbird.
In 2007, Lee suffered a stroke, but recovered and later settled in Monroeville permanently to care for her sister, Alice, who died in 2014. She was said to eat breakfast every morning at the same fast-food spot, and was friendly with her neighbors. Like the countless Americans knew her only through her work, they will undoubtedly miss her.
28. From the first two paragraphs, we can learn that Harper Lee .
A. once starred in a film adapted from her novel
B. made great contributions to American literature
C. was a most productive writer in America
D. was the greatest writer in American history
29. Why did Harper Lee disappear from public life after her first novel came out?
A. She was afraid to be criticized.
B. She wanted to write another story.
C. She didn't want to be bothered.
D. She needed to care for her sister.
30. From the text, we know Harper Lee's Go Set a Watchman .
A. continues the story of her earlier story
B. won her lots of honors and awards
C. is adapted into a famous film
D. tells the story of herself
31. What can be inferred about Harper Lee from the last paragraph?
A. She died in 2014 of a stroke.
B. She led a lonely life in her later life.
C. She didn' t want to help others.
D. She will certainly be remembered.
D
Nearly two-thirds of U. S. households, or 80 million homes, have pets and Americans spent more than $60 billion on them last year, according to the American Pet Products Association. "The number of pets in the world is growing extremely fast and that opens up the market,"said Peter Harrop, chairman of IDTechEx, a technology market research firm. "I' m sure five years from now there will be all sorts of things we can't imagine. "
Already, there are devices that let your pets call you (PetChatz) , play games and win treats when they're home alone (CleverPet) and even speak with a human voice (Petspeak).
The Petzi TreatCam lets Anne Ryan check on her dogs Oscar and Reggie at her Berkeley home when she' s working in San Francisco or traveling out of state. The Internet-connected device lets her see her dogs, talk to them, take photos and even dispense(分发) treats-using an app on her phone. "I turn it on, get to see them, get to talk to them and it changes my mood, and puts me back in a positive frame, "said Ryan said. " I didn't know that I needed it , but now I don't think that I could live without it. "
The Petzi TreatCam was created by San Jose-based Petzila, which was founded by two veteran technology executives who wanted to get their pets online. The startup also created a social media app that lets owners share pet photos.
Whistle, a new San Francisco company, sells the Pet Tracker that alerts owners when their pets have left their" safe zone" and helps find them if they get lost. The device also lets owners track how much exercise and sleep their animals are getting.
But as more pet-tech gadgets come to market, experts caution owners against relying on them too much. " The technology can be useful as an adjunct(附属物) , a way of enriching your relationship with your pet, but certainly not a substitute for time spent with your dog," said Pamela Wyman, who runs the DogEvolve training school in Oakland.
32. Why is the technology linked to pets warmly welcomed?
A. More and more pets are raised now.
B. More and more women work outside.
C. The devices are becoming cheaper.
D. People dislike looking after their pets themselves.
33. How did Anne Ryan feel after using the Petzi TreatCam?
A. Annoyed. B. Tired. C. Relieved. D. Worried.
34. Which of the following can help owners find their missing pets?
A. PetChatz. B. The Petzi TreatCam.
C. CleverPet. D. The Pet Tracker.
35. What does Pamela Wyman think of the pet-related technology?
A. It can replace pet owners entirely.
B. It can help pet owners to 'raise their pets.
C. It is not good for pet owners to use.
D. It can improve family relationship.

How to Write a Letter to Parents
As a teacher, one of the most difficult parts of your job is working with parents. With proper communication, however, you can build bridges between the school and home. 36 If you do it properly, this is an excellent way to communicate when you cannot meet with parents face to face.
·Put positive communication in the letter, even if you are writing to discuss a problem. 37 Even if it is difficult, you must find this positive spin, because it will make the parents more open to what you have to discuss. The general rule is "start with the good, hit them with the bad, then end on a positive note".
·38 Express your concern and desire to help. Do not place it completely on their shoulders, as they may resent(厌恶) this action. Show them through the letter that you want to work with them to find a solution.
·Ask for a response. You can ask them to write hack, sign a part of the letter or give you a call. 39 Be caring, but make sure they got the communication. Remember, your goal is to work together to help their child succeed.
·Consider mailing the letter to the parent, rather than sending it home with the student. Some students will intentionally forget to give the letter to their parents, while others will accidentally or purposely lose the letter. 40
A. Share the problem with the parents.
B. Respect parents and never quarrel with them.
C. Writing a letter to parents is one way to do this.
D. If you do not hear from them, you should call them.
E. Whenever you meet with problems, you should keep cool.
F. You can do this by pointing out a gain the child has made recently.
G. Sending it in the mail makes it more certain that it will be received.

The Suma Aqualife Park in Japan is no stranger to turtle traffic. Every summer, hundreds of turtles make 61 (they) way to and from the nearby ocean. While most manage to cover the short 62 (distant) , a handful are stuck inside the railway tracks that lie between the ocean and 63 popular park.
