I am quite sure that you must have seen TV advertisements about hair care products. The models have shining hair like jewels (宝石). But now to make hair shine is no longer the task of hair care products, because hair can be made into real jewels. Believe it or not, a company called LifeGem in the U.S. turns hair into jewels.
The company is in the business of taking hair from dead people and making them into diamonds (钻石). The diamonds are for the families to remember the dead.
Now the company plans to make three diamonds using Beethoven?s hair to show their latest
technology (技术). The work will take about 7 months and in the end, Beethoven?s long hair will become 3 shining diamonds between 0.5 to 1 carat in size.
Since the great musician died in 1827, you may wonder where they got Beethoven?s hair. Actually, the hair was given by John Rezniloff, who holds the Guinness World Record for the largest and most valuable collection of celebrity (名人) hair. His collection also includes hair of Napoleon, Albert Einstein, Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy. In total, the collection is worth over 5 million dollars.
Though it sounds unbelievable, to have such diamonds made with hair may be a good way to show respect (尊敬) and love to those who died.
41.What does the company of LifeGem do?
A) It produces hair care product. B) It uses hair to make jewels.
C) It is in the business of buying shining hair.
D) It sells expensive diamonds to famous people.
42.Where does Beethoven?s hair come from to make the diamonds?
A) His family members. B) A hair model.
C) John Rezniloff. D) The manager of LifeGem.

It was a winter afternoon. I toured an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting. I was looking forward to a quiet view of the art works.
A young couple viewing the paintings ahead of me chatted nonstop between themselves. I watched them a moment and decided the wife was doing all the talk. I admired the husband?s patience for putting up with her continuous talk. Distracted by their noise, I moved on.
I met with them several times as I moved through the different rooms of art. Each time I heard her constant burst of words, I moved away quickly.
I was standing at the counter of the museum gift shop making a purchase when the couple came near to the exit. Before they left, the man reached into his pocket and pulled out a white object. He extended it into a long stick and then tapped his way into the coatroom to get his wife?s jacket.
“He?s a brave man.” The clerk at the counter said,” Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age. During his recovery he made a promise that his life wouldn?t change. So ,as before, he and his wife come in whenever there?s a new art show.”
“But what dose he get out of the art?” I asked, “He can?t see.”
“Can?t see? You?re wrong. He sees a lot. More than you or I do.” The clerk said, “His wife describes each painting so he can see it in his head.”
I learned something about patience, courage and love that day. I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without sight and the courage of a husband who would not allow blindness to change his life. And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away hand in hand.

Last month I paid a visit to China. Chinese education on children really shocked me. I thought many Chinese parents put much pressure on only high school students. But in the following years, I found the pressure came to primary school children, then those of pre-school age, and finally newborn babies and pre-born children.
In order to succeed, one or two years before entering kindergarten(幼稚园)they must study English, drawing, singing, and dancing, and the three years of kindergarten are mostly spent to build up an early lead in primary school performance
What if parents let their 3 or 4 years old child enjoy free time on Saturday and Sunday, after five days in nursery? They would be thought to be wasting their kid?s early life. As others do, so must they do. Yet children have not only the right, but the need to play. Kindergartens should not be a school. There should be no classroom, no lesson, no homework, and especially no exams. Instead, playing should be the first thing for children.
They need to play with others and also to play on their own, as playing is good for learning in a lively way. Children can discover numbers while playing games and the alphabet(字母表) through songs. Some Chinese characters can become familiar to them by being used in games, But the problem with
kindergartens is very serious. Chinese parents think studying is more important. Children work hard while having less and less time to play. What these parents fail to realize is that they are following the examples of how not to raise a kid.
51. What?s the situation of children in China now?
A. They have much pressure. B. They play too much.
C. They have no pressure.D. They work hard but happily.
52. Why don't parents let their 3 or 4-yea~old kids enjoy free time? Because
