Night after night, she came to tuck (将棉被盖好) me in, even long after my childhood years. Following her longstanding 36 , she'd lean down and push my long hair out of the way, then kiss my forehead.

I don't remember when it first started 37 me---her hands pushing my hair that way. But it did annoy me, for they felt work-worn and 38 against my young skin. Finally, one night, I shouted out at her, "Don't do that anymore----your hands are too rough!" She didn't say anything in reply. But never again did my mother 39 out my day with that familiar expression of her love.

Time after time; with the passing years, my thoughts returned to that night. By then I missed my mother's 40 , missed her goodnight kiss on my forehead. Sometimes the incident 41 very close, sometimes far away. But always it lurked (潜伏), in the back of my mind.

Well, the years have passed, and I'm not a little girl anymore. Mom is in her mid-seventies, and those hands I once thought to be so rough are still doing things for me and my 42 . She's been our doctor, reaching into a medicine case for the treatment to 43 a young girl's stomach or relieve the boy's scraped (擦伤) knee. She cooks the best fried chicken in the world …gets 44 out of blue jeans....

Now, my own children am grown and gone. Mom no longer has Dad, and on 45 occasions, I find myself drown next door to spend the night with her. So it was late on Thanksgiving Eve. As I slept in the bedroom of my youth, a familiar hand hesitantly 46 my face to brush the hair from my forehead. Then a kiss, ever so 47 , touched my brow.

47. A. gently B. suddenly C. heavily D. deliberately

Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using ONE word that fits the context.

During my childhood many years ago，a hero was pictured in my mind as the strong and the powerful ，such as a superman, but 48 time goes by and my knowledge grows wider, the definition of a hero changes 49 a superman to Jesus Christ. In my opinion, a hero should have a modest characteristic，treat others with love and have the ability to change the world.

Heroes are also ordinary men 50 they do extraordinary things for others out of the vast love 51 they have in heroes' heart. When God created the world, God gave everyone a lovely heart for a chance to become a hero. 52 people need to do is to spare out the love to become heroes, but this world only has not so 53 heroes.

Who doesn't like to give orders to other people? Who likes to be a servant treated like a dog? Everyone wants to get to a higher position. The employee wants to be a manager. The senator(参议员) wants to be the president. The higher status will have 54 stronger power. No one will refuse to own the driver seat. So a hero must have the ability to be in the rank(职位). The hero doesn't have to take the power，but to get to a higher rank is one way to get ability of changing the world. If the hero can not change the world，he is 55 a normal man with a modest characteristic and kind love. Besides, a hero should be ready to help others.

COOL INVENTIONS

For light sleepers

Millions of people have trouble falling asleep each night, which is why Light Sleeper was created.

Developed in the United Kingdom, Light Sleeper's makers say it can help a person fall asleep and also help a person fall back to sleep after waking up in the middle of the night.

Light Sleeper works by projecting (投射) a light onto the ceiling while the person is lying down. The idea is to watch the light, because the light moving in a circle has a relaxing effect.

One of the advantages of the product is that it won't disturb other people in the room. The product can be easily moved and will switch itself off after 30 minutes to save power.

Stop the snoring (打鼾)

Here's a new product designed to slow down the frequency and level of your snoring. The Snore Stopper has a sensitive instrument that will detect when you're snoring. Once it does that, it will send a very mild electronic signal to your wrist. This consequently changes your sleeping position to stop you from snoring. The Snore Stopper; won't cause any damage to your body.

Get your true colors

Photoshop features a pen that will copy the color settings of what you are monitoring onscreen to use as a color in your program. Now an off-line product allows you to pick a color when not using the computer software.

The Color Picker is a concept pen. After placing the pen against an object, the user just presses the scan button. Color sensors (感应器) inside the pen send information to a box, which then mixes red, green and blue to produce the desired ink color.

Keep it fresh

More high technology products are showing up in the kitchen. A new Bagel dome (圆顶形物) advertises that it will keep your baked goods fresher for longer periods of time.
