16、yes, falling in deep thought, we can find that the things that move us to be really happy or sad have a 36 meaning.

21、to supper. I could tell at once that he and my mother had been discussing something. In that half-playful, half-serious way I knew so well, he said, “How would you like to go to Eton?“ “You bet,“ I cried quickly catching the joke. Everyone knew it was the most expensive, the most famous of schools.
22、Besides, even at 12 or 13, I understood my father. He disliked any form of showing off. He always knew his proper station in life, which was in the middle of the middle class, our house was medium-sized; he had avoided joining Royal Liverpool Golf Club and went to a smaller one instead; though once
23、he had got a second-hand Rolls-Royce at a remarkably low price, he felt embarrassed driving it, and quickly changed it for an Austin 1100. This could only be his delightful way of telling me that the whole boarding school idea was to be dropped. Alas! I should also have remembered that he had a liki
24、ng for being different from everyone else, if it did not conflict(冲突) with his fear of drawing attention to himself. It seemed that he had happened to be talking to Graham Brown of the London office, a very nice fellow, and Graham had a friend who had just entered his boy at the school, and while he
25、 was in that part of the world he thought he might just as well phone them. I remember my eyes stinging(刺痛) and my hands shaking with the puzzlement of my feelings. There was excitement, at the heart of great sadness. “Oh, he doesnt want to go away,“ said my mother, “You shouldnt go on like this.” “

29、t. People have often worked together to collect and save the worlds art treasures. Fine art treasures from many countries are kept in an art museum called the Louvre in Paris, France.

30、useum. The first building was a fort(炮台). In 1190, it was the kings castle with high walls and a round tower. It had a moat to keep out his enemies.5uOver the years, the number of buildings around the castle grew. By 1350, the castle was no longer needed as a fort. The Louvre became a palace home fo
31、r French kings and queens. During times of peace, new treasures were brought in. During days of war, many treasures were stolen, and the buildings were damaged. When Francis I became king of France in 1515, he brought in artists from many countries. One of the artists was Leonardo da Vinci from Ital

36、irates (海盗) and dreaming of their own wild adventures. But modern pirates are not a thing of the past. Last month Somali pirates did their boldest hijacking (劫持 ) to date. They seized the Saudi supertanker (超大型油轮) Sirius Star carrying crude oil worth about $100 million. They demanded $15 million to
37、free the ship and its crew. The pirates have kept hitting the headlines this year: 92 attacks have been attempted, with 36 successful hijackings and 268 crew members taken hostage (人质). The Chinese fishing ship Tianyu 8, with 17 Chinese and 8 foreigners on board, has been in their hands since Novemb
38、er 14. Of course piracy (海盗行为) is nothing new. Even since there has been water and ships there have been pirates. The earliest documented history of pirates dates back to the 13th century in the Mediterranean Sea. Even the famous Roman emperor Julius Caesar was once kidnapped by pirates. Piracy reac
39、hed its peak in the mid-1700s. It was during this time in the Caribbean and off the coast of Africa that men like “Blackbeard the Pirate” made this profession attractive. But with the creation of stronger national Navies piracy became less popular around the world. In the mid-20th century, most pira
40、tes were petty (小规模的) thieves. They used hooks to sneak (偷偷摸摸) on board ships at anchor, and grabbed all that they could find. These pirates were more likely to flee than fight if faced by the crew. However, nowadays piracy has become a multi-million-dollar business at tracting many in poor countrie
41、s. Pirates are treated like heroes among local fishermen.They use satellite phones and Global Positioning Systems (GPS). Once they spot their target, they swarm the ship with fast boats and shoot it by firing AK-47s or even rocket-propelled grenades (火箭榴弹炮). Then they hold the ship and its crews for
42、 money.“The world should take forceful actions together to fight piracy,” said leaders at the Asian and Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Peru. “However, putting in anti-piracy army can only be half of the solution. We have to protect the fair chance of Somali fishermen to get a good liv
43、ing and keep them from the lure of easy money,” said Peter Lehr, a lecturer in terrorism studies.49. When did piracy reach its peak?A. In the 13th century. B. In the mid-1700s.C.

On November 18, a Chinese ship was attacked by a suspected pirate ship.(D) Professor Martins report says that children who attend a number of different schools,because their
46、 parents have to move around the country,probably make slow progress in their studies. There are also signs,says Professor Martin , that an unusually large number of such children are mentally affected. The professor says, “Its true,my personal feeling is that children should stay in one school. But
47、 our findings are based on research and not on any personal feelings. ” Captain Thomas James,an Army lecturer for the past 20 years and himself a father of two,said , “Ive never heard of such rubbish. Taking me for example. no harm is done to the education of my children,who change schools regularly
48、if they keep to the same system,as in our Army schools. In my experienceand Ive known quite a few of themArmy children are as well adjusted as any others,if not more so. What the professor doesnt appear to appreciate is the fact that in such situation children will adapt much better than grown-ups.”When this reached Professor Martin,he said that at no time had his team suggested that all children were backward or mentally affected in some way,but simply that in their
