There was a time when I thought my dad didnt know a thing about being a good father. I couldnt 16 him ever saying the words “I love you”. It seemed to me his only purpose in life was to say “17” to anywhere I wanted to go and anything I wanted to do， including getting a 18. Some parents bought their kids cars when they got their drivers licenses. 19 my dad—he said that Id have to get a job and buy my own.
So thats what I did. I got a job at a very nice restaurant and 20 every penny I could. And when I had enough to buy my car， I 21！ The day I brought that car home，my dad was the first one I wanted to show it 22 to. “Look， dad， a car of my own. If you ever want a ride， Ill only 23 you five dollars.” I offered with a smile.
“I see，” was all he said.
One day， there was something wrong with my fathers truck. So he needed a 24 to work. The sun wasnt even up when we left the house， 25 it was already getting warm out. It was going to be a 26 day. As I dropped my dad off， I 27 him，dressed in his work clothes，getting his 28 from the trunk（尾箱）of my car. Watching his sunweathered face， and even from a distance I could tell there were 29 lines than I ever remembered being there before. I realized how hard my dad had worked for his family. My father was a cement finisher （水泥修整工）.
In that instant， it 30 to me that he actually got down on his hands and knees to sweat over hot concrete to make a living for his family. And he did this 31， no matter how hot it got. Never，not once，had I heard him 32 about it. To him we were “worth” it. And never once did he “charge” us for it.
When he closed the trunk，his tools set off to the side，he walked over to my window to 33 me five dollars. I rolled down the window and said “Goodbye， dad. Keep your five dollars. Its 34 me. Dont work too hard. I love you.”
His eyes met mine， then glanced away in the direction of his waiting tools. He cleared his 35 and said， “Oh，and... me， too.”

Its a nightmare for Huazhong University of Science and Technology （HUST）：within a week， two students committed suicide by jumping off dorm buildings.
Officials from the university are reluctant to give interviews.
“We had a hard time calming down students who were shocked at the suicides，” said Zhang Jingyuan， one official of HUST.
“Media coverage may arouse some students negative emotions again. Suicide can be contagious，” Zhang said. The university reacted promptly to the first suicide on October 23.
Advisors and class leaders conducted dormtodorm checks to find students suffering depression. Then psychologists offered oneonone counseling to them.
Notice boards publicizing tips for identifying peers mental problems and offering help were set up in front of dorm buildings. Leaflets carrying similar information were handed out to each dorm.
However， the second suicide came seven days later.
Both students were described as men of few words. Their schoolmates didnt see anything to indicate suicide.
Zhang revealed that the two students had been bothered by mental disorders. But the school didnt know this until the students close friends outside school and their parents unveiled the truth after the suicides.
According to Zhang， there are only three fulltime counselors working in the universitys counseling center for its 60，000 students. He complained， “Its unrealistic to rely only on counselors to detect students mental problems.”
Effective prevention comes from longterm education for life instead of temporary intervention to meet an emergency， said Hu Yian. Hu delivers a course of lectures on life and death at Guangzhou University. He worries that universities have paid little attention to education for life.
“Education for life helps students respect and love life so they wont resort to ending their lives when they have difficulties，” said Hu.
According to Hu， the principles can be incorporated into everyday teaching.
Hu is also concerned that some universities are conveying discriminatory message that will hold back students from seeking help.
When HUST conducted the dormtodorm examination， students with poor academic performance were paid special attention. In March， Peking University also released a controversial policy， which required teachers to have a chat with students “with biased thinking”.
However， Hu suggested that students step out of their comfort zone to seek reallife communication.
44. Why did the advisors and class leaders go to the students dorm？
A. To learn the first suicide.
B. To avoid the second suicide.
C. To learn about the students suffering depression.
D. To offer help to the students.
45. Which one of the following is NOT the reason why officials from the university are reluctant to give interviews？
A. The university reacted promptly to the first suicide on October 23. B. They had a hard time calming down students who were shocked at the suicides.
C. Media coverage may arouse some students negative emotions again.
D. Two suicides within a week is really a nightmare for the university.
46. Whats the main idea of the passage？

Literature is a term used to describe written as well as spoken material. Generally speaking， it is often used to describe anything from creative imagination， including works of poetry， drama and fiction.
Then why read literature， since it is often imaginary and seems unconnected with real life？
A lot of us read literature for pleasure and relaxation. Its always pleasant to read some interesting books， such as comedies and novels， in our spare time. In a modern life full of pressure， it is our common desire to read some imaginary works and seek relaxation from the stress in life.
Reading literature is more than fun； it also enables us to acquire knowledge. As a general rule， literature represents a language or a people， and it often gives us an insight（洞察力）into the traditions， customs， beliefs， attitudes and values of the age in which it was written.
Sometimes literature can even offer us new， creative ways to have a better understanding of the world. It helps us make sense of the world around us. It introduces us to new worlds of experiences. We enjoy the comedy and the tragedy of poems， stories and plays； and we may even grow through our literary journey with books. Eventually， we may discover meaning in literature by looking at what the author says and how he / she says it. In a sense， we explore the human condition and analyze how and why people think the way they think and feel the way they feel. Literature enables us to think analytically and promotes open minds. We see the world through the eyes of different cultures and in turn learn the ways to deal with things that happen around. So we can definitely say literature is of great importance to us. Why not get going with one poem， drama or fiction at once？

五、One possible version：
Today we hold a discussion about the key points for school education. Id like to present our results. As we all know， normally school education aims to cultivate students abilities to learn and think. But more and more people realize that without the cultivation of moral norms and ethics， we can hardly expect a society to be nice enough for leading a harmonious life. As a result， schools should attach more attention to students character education， such as qualities of honesty and filial piety.
Character education plays an important role in the development of future society. It meets the needs of emphasizing and developing the students allround qualities. In the long run， it protects students from being selfish and indifferent. Whats more， it teaches students how to learn efficiently， how to live colorfully， how to do things seriously， for their own future， and also for the future of their motherland.
According to me， I am in favor of the importance of character education for the reason that a moral degenerate student can never contribute to our society.

五、One possible version：
Today we hold a discussion about the key points for school education. Id like to present our results. As we all know， normally school education aims to cultivate students abilities to learn and think. But more and more people realize that without the cultivation of moral norms and ethics， we can hardly expect a society to be nice enough for leading a harmonious life. As a result， schools should attach more attention to students character education， such as qualities of honesty and filial piety.
Character education plays an important role in the development of future society. It meets the needs of emphasizing and developing the students allround qualities. In the long run， it protects students from being selfish and indifferent. Whats more， it teaches students how to learn efficiently， how to live colorfully， how to do things seriously， for their own future， and also for the future of their motherland.
According to me， I am in favor of the importance of character education for the reason that a moral degenerate student can never contribute to our society.
