I don’t really care for it. I work full-time and I am too busy for most housework. I remember the old woman who taught me to iron. I was about 15 and I had to get a job taking care of a woman to make a living. She had been an able-bodied, healthy woman until the accident that caused her to be paralyzed.‎ ‎　　The woman sat in an electric wheelchair all day. She could only move her head and arms. She would tell me how to do things. She would teach me in great detail on the correct ways to do things. Her home was perfect and beautiful. She would follow me around in her electric wheelchair to make sure I did everything exactly right. I’m sure she had been a perfect homemaker. She would have me fold everything, including socks. I would complain silently and wish terrible things on her. She taught me the right way to make the bed. I know sometimes she’d get frustrated and impatient with me. I knew she wanted to do it herself. But she never shouted or scolded. She only insisted I do it right. I didn’t like it much, but I did it.‎ ‎　　Today I can iron pretty well. I know where to start on a shirt and the right way to do the trousers. Now when I think about it, I don’t think she is an old lady. I think she might have been about my age now. Anyway, when I iron, I think of her and silently thank her for all the things I learned.‎ ‎44.

When the smoker is smoking in a restaurant, the people around him are sure to breathe in the smoke and suffer from the diseases an active smoker gets. If smoking is banned, spread of these diseases can be controlled.‎ ‎ Next, banning smoking will put stress on smokers to give up. Since a smoker is prevented from smoking, he will learn how to live without smoking for long hours. When a smoker doesn’t smell or see anybody around him smoking, it might reduce his wish to smoke too. As a result, people have to give up smoking.‎ ‎ Smoking in public places influences non-smokers to start smoking, especially adolescents. When teens see people around them smoking, they will follow them easily. Thus the number of teen smokers will increase. Also asthma and other problems are often seen in children living around smokers. So if it is banned, these places will become safe for children and teenagers.‎ ‎ Looking from the economic point of view, smoking should be banned to increase work productivity .Employees who smoke usually take breaks to smoke while working. So the number of hours they put in their work is smaller.‎ ‎ If you see from the environment point of view, smoking should be banned. Smoking causes air pollution. If it is banned, it will help keep the environment from ‎ getting worse.‎ ‎48.________doesn’t belong to a non-smoking place.‎ A.A field B.A hospital C.A library D.A restaurant ‎49. The second paragraph mainly wants to tell us ______.‎ A. banning smoking is good for restaurants　　‎ B. banning smoking is good for non-smokers C. banning smoking is good for spread of diseases D. banning smoking is good for active smokers and passive smokers ‎50. How many advantages of banning smoking are mentioned in this passage?‎ ‎ A. Two. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six.‎ ‎51.According to the text, the underlined word “adolescents” means ______.‎ ‎ A. men B. women C. adults D. teenagers ‎　　 　　　　　 (D)‎ MSG(monosodium glutamate)is a food additive ，which has been widely used by many food factories all over the world since it appeared first in Japan in 1909．‎ MSG is a substance that is added to some food to improve its original taste and colour．It is used in foods around the world such as cakes, bread，frozen meats，fish and vegetables．In the beginning, people thought MSG was safe just like salt and sugar．However, in 1968 some people reported they seemed to have bad reactions to MSG after having had a meal at a restaurant．They included headaches and quick heartbeat．It was also reported that MSG excited a person’s brain and caused his death in Japan. Scientists think that MSG may lead to many neurological disorders．In mice studies done by a university，the evidence showed the mice didn’t want to eat the food including MSG．‎ Today many food companies“hide”MSG on food labels by using different names. If you see“natural flavorings”, “hydrolyzed protein”and“spices”in a food label, you are probably seeing a hidden way to“report”MSG in a food label．Every time we have a meal in a restaurant, we always feel the food very delicious to taste，but sometimes it is dangerous for our health because some poisonous food additives have been added to the food．‎ To protect people’s health，our governments, from central to local，are taking actions to stop factories producing poisonous food additives．[来源:Z,xx,k.Com]‎ ‎52．Monosodium Glutamate is _______．‎ ‎　A．a food B．an additive C．a factory D．a country ‎53．The examples in the second paragraph tell us ________．‎ A．the food including MSG is delicious B．people like to eat in a restaurant C．mice like eating the food including MSG D．MSG is not safe sometimes ‎54．If you see“natural flavorings”，“hydro lyzed protein”and“spices”in a food label, you will Know________．‎ A．you must eat the food in a hidden way　　B．the food label must be hidden C．MSG is probably added to the food　　　D．you must report the food to your parents ‎55．The underlined word“substance”in the article means _______．[来源:Z#xx#k.Co A．colour B．material C．taste D．food 四、词语填空（共10小题，计10分）‎ 用方框中所给单词的适当形式填空，使短文通顺、正确、连贯（每个单词限用一次）。‎ happy good would idea like make find when what ‎ ‎ and who dislike ‎ You will go to a high school one day, won’t you?
