If she sets her heart to it, she will do everything.”Ten years had passed, and I still had not walked. Mom and Dad had faced the fact long ago that maybe the doctors had been right. After all I was nearly twelve and had not taken a step in my life.“Maybe we’re pushing too hard,” Mom told Dad.“Mom, don’t worry. Someday I will walk. I believe that from the bottom of my heart. I believe it is only a matter of time.”We were having breakfast on Christmas morning. We had just left the table, and were getting ready to exchange gifts when the miracle (奇跡) happened. I sat still at first watching with a smile as we exchanged gifts, but the greatest gift from God was given last.I stood up for the first time in my life, and put one foot in front of the other. I was really walking! I took a few steps and fell on the sofa next to Mom and Dad who were crying like babies.The doctors had been wrong! I could walk, not until I was twelve, because of a Christmas miracle, a gift from God. This special gift has helped us see the true meaning of Christmas.36.

On a tourist website.CThere was a time when people used to communicate by writing letters to each other. As part of a primary English class, students learned how to write different types of notes, which included the heading, body and closing in each. Among the different styles they learned were the thank-you letters, which were used to send out in response to receiving a gift.Today creating your own thank-you letters is still a polite response to receiving a gift. And sending a thank-you letter after a job interview is also important. A formal letter should have the name and address of the person. They are written on the top of the page as well as the name and address of the person sending it. It should include the date the letter is being written in the heading. Then write a salutation (稱呼) and a friendly greeting as the opening line. In the body you should not only thank the person for the item that was gifted, but should name the item as well. This shows the receipt (收到) of the gift. It is also good to mention what uses you have for the gift.Some of the gift-giving occasions include Christmas, weddings and birthdays. These are festive (喜慶的) events where the gift givers are usually present at a party held

in honor of the event. Even though you might thank your guests at some point during the party, it is still polite to send a card or note after the event.

These are times when people send words and gifts of encouragement to the person with the illness or the loss.43. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A.

But what would happen if newspapers were to stop publishing? Future researchers would likely turn to the Web.The Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine at Archive.org has for years saved websites from the past. But it only does this once a day for news websites. A reporter Ben Welsh decided to create a site similar to Archive.org. But he wanted to arc

hive (存檔) only news websites. And he wanted to save their homepages (主頁) more often.In May Mr. Welsh created PastPages.org to save the homepages of seventy news websites once an hour. He said, “This schedule of what I call ‘harvesting’ is important in today’s quickly-changing news environment. Because over the course of a day, a news story can develop quite a bit. No one has saved the homepages of so many news websites so often and made that material available (可獲得的) to the public. I hope to keep adding to the site until it is archiving material from up to three hundred news websites around the world.”Ben Welsh spent about sixty dollars a month on storage space. He feared the cost would increase beyond what he could afford, so he asked people for help through the website Kickstarter. Within about a week, he had gotten what he had asked for and more.Stephanie Bluestein, a reporter at the Los Angeles Times, said, “Now you could go back and see what the lead story was, how the headline changed and how the newspaper played a story. You can actually compare. Today’s news changes so quickly that even archiving once an hour may soon not be enough.”47. Why does PastPages.org save homepages of news websites once an hour?A. Because news changes quickly in modern times.B. Because there are over 300 news websites that need to be saved.C. Because the website can make all the news available to the public.D. Because saving homepages of news websites may earn money.48. Mr. Welsh asked for help through the website Kickstarter to .A. help more people save homepagesB. make more money from PastPages.orgC. to help create another site Archive.orgD. raise money to pay for the cost of storage space49. What’s Stephanie Bluestein’s attitude towards PastPages.org?A. Uncaring. B. Favorable.C. Disagreeable. D. Doubtful.50. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. Websites compete with newspapersB. Websites save useful homepages in the past
