16、who wrote the song and for whom it was written? The retired professor, Archibald A. Hill in Lucasville, USA could tell us the story. Ninety-seven years ago, two of Mr. Archibald Hills aunts, Miss Patty Hill and Miss Mildred Hill were asked to write some songs for a book called “Song Storied for the
17、Sunday Morning”. Miss Patty Hill and Miss Mildred Hill were both kindergarten teachers then. They loved children very much and wrote many beautiful songs for the book. One of them was the famous “Good Morning to You.” The song said, “Good morning to you, good morning to you, dear children, good morn
18、ing to all.” This song was very popular at that time among kindergarten children. But not many grown-ups knew it. A few years later little Archibald was born. As his aunt, Miss Patty Hill sang the song “Happy Birthday” to the melody（曲调）of “Good Morning to you” to her little nephew（侄子）. She sang the
19、song like this: Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday, dear Archie! Happy birthday to you!

23、ss the road.“Millions of animals die each year on U.S. roads,” the Federal Highway Administration reports. In fact, only about 80 ocelots, an endangered wild cat, exist in the U.S. today. The main reason? Roadkill. “Eco-passages” may help animals cross the road without being hit by cars. They are pa
24、ths both over and under roads. “These eco-passages can be extremely useful, so that wildlife can avoid road accidents,” said Jodi Hilty of the Wildlife Protection Society.But do animals actually use the eco-passages? The answer is yes. Paul Beier of Northern Arizona University found foot marks left
25、by mountain lions on an eco-passage that went under a highway. This showed that the lions used the passage.Builders of eco-passages try to make them look like a natural part of an area by planting trees on and around them. Animals seem to be catching on.

Take steps to protect animals in danger C I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunts house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for
31、America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning. I do not remember myself crying for this reason a
32、gain. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to seethe strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving and never to come back was hardly
33、 in my head then.The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism（乐观）, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really losthaving to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mot
34、her remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to “the hard times.” My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letter
35、s, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers（移民局官员）, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.From my experiences I have learned one important rule: Almost all common troubles go away at last!
36、Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.46.

If you had attended a winter activity in New York a few years ago, you would have seen a whole polar bear club. These Polar Bears
40、are people who meet frequently in the winter to swim in freezing cold water. That day, the air temperature was 3, and the water temperature was a bit higher. The members of the Polar Bear Club at Coney Island, New York are usually about the age of 60. Members must satisfy two requirements. First, th
41、ey must get along well with everyone else in the group. This is very important because there are so many different kinds of people in the club. Polar Bears must also agree to swim outdoors at least twice a month from November through February.Doctors do not agree about the medical effects of cold-wa
42、ter swimming. Some are worried about the dangers of a condition in which the bodys temperature drops so low that finally the heart stops. Other doctors, however, point out that there is more danger of a heart attack during summer swimming because the difference between the air temperature and water
43、temperature is much greater in summer than in winter.The Polar Bears themselves are satisfied with the benefits (or advantages) of cold-water swimming. They say that their favorite form of exercise is very good for the circulatory system（循环系统）because it forces the blood to move fast to keep the body
44、 warm. Cold-water swimmers usually turn bright red after a few minutes in the water. A person who turns blue probably has a very poor circulatory system and should not try cold-water swimming.The main benefits (or advantages) of cold-water swimming are probably mental. The Polar Bears love to swim y
45、ear-round; they find it fun and relaxing. As one 70-year-old woman says. When I go into the water, I pour my troubles into the ocean and let them float away.51. The members of the Polar Bear Club must meet the following requirements except that _.A. they must reach the age of 60B. they should be easy to make friends withC. they must swim out
