It is every childs and every parents goal to eventually achieve 21 but it is nevertheless sad when it happens.One Sunday in August, my son and I worked to 22 his car for a journey. He would move across the country after twenty years of 23 under my roof. We started early, 24 our work went slowly into the afternoon.25 I was carefully packing the car, the Sunday baseball game came on. Our hometown Cardinals were playing the Atlanta Braves. 26 unhappy thoughts about his departure, I completely forgot about the game. Just then, my son called, “Dad, come on in. Lets 27 the rest of the game.” Looking at his red-colored eyes, I 28 realized that he, too, found this to be a 29 passage of time and that he, too, wanted to 30 one last father-son moment. I led the way to the TV set without 31 .There, 32 we found the Cardinals losing 31. “How come?

The Cardinals took the lead. In that one moment we were 35 , excitedly jumping up and down and experiencing a joy that I could 36 imagine happening on that bittersweet afternoon. The 37 of that day was replaced by enjoying an exciting baseball game. It was a wonderful feeling that made the day, the trip, our life, seem so 38 And then he left.I believe in 39 moments that happen when I least expect them.

Concern was worsened by incidents such as the death of the professional boxer Bradley Stone. But the Croxteth example was winning more supporters. Mr. Andrews said the idea was particularly well received in the north-east of England.“The interest shown so far has been enormous,” he said. “I believe that boxing will come back into schools. A video has been produced to promote boxing in schools, and a bid has been made for a Sports Council grant (拨款）.”He said, “I think there is a genuine recognition that there are aspects to boxing, if it is controlled and properly run, that really are very beneficial for children. This scheme takes away the dangers. I hope boxing can be promoted throughout the country in a more coordinated way.” Such an idea horrifies such groups as the British Medical Association (BMA) and the British Safety Council, both critics of the idea.Dr Jeffrey Cundy, the joint author of a BMA report on boxing, accepted that the scheme in Liverpool was non-contact, but he was still opposed. He said, “We feel that children should still not be introduced to boxing, because they will then be encouraged to take up an activity which is uniquely dangerous when actual contact takes place.”He added, “There is a whole range of sports which will teach the discipline that comes from boxing without the dangers. We see this reintroduction in schools as an unhealthy development.”At the 800-pupil Croxteth school, Steve Stewart, head of PE, said boxing had helped to improve self-confidence, self-discipline, self-awareness and self-respect in those taking part. Everybody could get involved and, because all were starting from scratch, the improvements could be quickly seen.Certificates were presented to the pupils at the end of the course by Paul Hodgkinson, a local boxer who is a former world champion. Next year, the course will be repeated and if possible girls will be allowed to take part following requests from them.Gerry Thompson and Tony Curry, both 12，have enjoyed the boxing sessions and say they will both join a local boxing club. “I thought it was brilliant,” said Gerry. “I would rather be a professional boxer than a footballer. Its more enjoyable”41.Whats the present situation of the Croxteth school boxing course?A.Its declining due to the safety worries.B.Girls can be admitted as long as theyre willing to.C.Its becoming increasingly popular among the children.D.Some pupils have been trained to be world champions.42.Dr. Cundys attitude towards the return of boxing to schools can be described as.A. supportiveB. unconcernedC, disapprovingD. objective43.The Kid Gloves scheme is developed by SABA primarily to.A.provide more fun for studentsB.encourage students to be better-behavedC.help students gain a sense of achievementD.promote the boxing course in a less dangerous way44.The underlined part “all were starting from scratch” probably means.A.starting the course was difficultB.scratching was the first step to learn boxingC.students would easily get hurt during the courseD.everyone was inexperienced and started from the very beginning45.In which section of a newspaper can we most likely read the passage?A.LifestyleB. EducationC. ScienceD. BusinessBBelow are the latest books Id like to recommend: Title: Zero to OneSubtitle: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future Author: Peter Thiel“Doing what someone else already knows how to do takes the world from 1 to n, adding more of something familiar.

Additionally, the author offers his philosophy on business, which helps the reader generate new ideas he or she may not have considered previously.Title: ThinkerToysSubtitle: A Handbook of Creative-thinking Techniques Author: Michael Michalko“By changing your perspective, you increase your possibilities until you see something that you were unable to see before.” This is what you will experience when you use Thinkertoys.

Although she appears healthy, she has to take 30 different drugs each day and is expected to live for only another ten, maybe twelve years. Every year, hundreds of children are born, like her, with cystic fibrosis(囊胞性纤维症).There is no cure 一 at least not yet.Laura may, just may, be one of the first cystic fibrosis children to be saved. A few years ago, scientists developed a new mouse with the similar disease as Laura. This made it much easier to develop new treatments. Within ten years, there will probably be ways of curing Laura, as long as that research, using those animals, continues.There are plenty of emotional arguments both for and against animal testing, but lets start with the most obvious facts. If you examine the history of medicine, you find that experiments on animals have been an important part of almost every major medical advance. Many cornerstones of medical science the discovery that blood circulates through our veins (静
