A brother and a sister have been reunited(重逢) after more than 60 years, thanks to a letter in the Welwyn and Hatfield Times. For years John Hannant kept a photo of his long-lost sister,

hoping they would meet again.

Margery, the eldest of three children, had signed up with the Royal Air Force as part of the war effort, when John was still a baby.

The family lost touch and as many years passed only a single letter gave a clue (线索) to her whereabouts. The clue was enough for a WHT reader to recognize Margery and put the family back in touch.

John, 67, said he had been searching for a long time and a friend suggested writing to the paper.

\true. The last time we ever heard from Margery was in 1953 after the terrible floods. She wrote home to know if we were all right. My sister Dorothy wrote back, but Margery had moved again and never got the letter.\

Having retired from his job as a gardener at Park House, Mr. Hannant decided to take action. He and his wife Doreen traveled to Margery's home in Chelwood Avenue, Hatfield, which she shares with her husband Jack Cooke.

Now 88, Margery was recovering from her heart operation, but immediately recognized her brother. John said: \it would.\and six grandnieces and grandnephews.

Hiking is not only one of the best forms of physical exercise, but it is also one of the best forms of mental relaxation. It is good for all ages and especially good as a family and group activity.

Since there are so many different kinds of hiking, it is not possible to give any general rules to follow. Short and frequent hikes, needing no planning or special equipment, are enjoyed by most people.

* Keep in shape by walking at a fast pace for at least 15 minutes every day. Climbing stairs instead of using a lift and running not too far are also good ways of keeping in shape.

* On any hike nothing is more important than good, comfortable shoes.

* The things you take might include matches in a waterproof (防水的 ) box, a knife, a compass ( 指南针), first aid items and a flashlight （手电筒）

* Cameras may be taken, but don't load with too much.

* On longer hikes keep a comfortable, steady pace and take rest stops often. * Drink only safe water. If in doubt, boil the water.

* Don't go along the busy roads. When you have to use a road, keep as far over to the left as possible.

* Leave word at home, or some other place, as to where you are going and when you plan to return.

* On almost any hike, a map is a good idea. If you are going into a strange place, a detailed (详细的) map is most helpful.

* Take along a field guide on flowers, birds, rocks, or other subjects depending upon your interests. This can add greatly to the enjoyment and educational value of your hike.

My wife passed away seven and a half years ago, and I went through a huge depression (消沉), the worst time in my life. I even wanted to end my life. I continued to work as a small-town doctor at my medical clinic in Kilauea, Hawaii. My kids had gone to live on the mainland, and

I was alone. On a family trip, we turned on the TV and saw the second plane crash into the World Trade Center. I said to my kids, \Afghanistan.\Medical Corps sent me to set up 20 clinics in some provinces where people had no health care. Eventually, the clinics were serving 27,000 patients a month. I had such a sense of accomplishment, a sense of purpose. My depression went completely away.

I go wherever disasters strike: Indonesia after the tsunami ( 海啸), Pakistan after the earthquake. I was just in Kenya. After their presidential election, at least a thousand people were killed and hundreds of thousands were forced out. We set up mobile clinics in an area with 19,000 refugees (难民 ). Measles broke out, one of the biggest killers of kids in refugee camps, and it spread (传播) like wildfire. Water and medical equipment were also problems.

When my, wife passed away, I thought my life was done. But really, it was just getting started. At the end of her life, my wife fell into a coma (昏迷). I held her head in my hands and told her of all the places we would visit, the exciting adventures we would have.

For example, students at the University of Texas in Austin can go to the Career Exploration Center to get help in finding a job.

English is the most widely used language in the history of our planet. One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the world's books and three quarters of international mail are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest vocabulary --- perhaps as many as two million words.

However, let's face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat.

We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes ( 探讨它的矛盾), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them.

And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce, and hammers don't ham？If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn't the plural of booth be beeth? One goose，two geese --- so one moose, two meese?

How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and- quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?

English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects (反映) the creativity of human beings. That's why, when stars are out, they are visible (能看见的); but when the lights are

out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it.

57．According to the passage ________________.

A. sweet-meats and sweetbreads are different things B. there should be egg in an eggplant

C. pineapples are the apples on the pine tree D. boxing rings should be round 58. Which of the following is the correct plural?

A. Beeth. B. Geese. C. Meese. D. Tooth.

59. Which of the following includes two items which have the similar meaning? A. A wise man and a wise guy. B. Overlook and oversee.

C. Quite a lot and quite a few. D. Hot as hell and cold as hell. 60. The underlined words \A. blow B. roll up C. get hurt D. finish
