16、yed their own special game the time they had met each other. The goal of their game was to write the word “shmily” in a surprise place for the other to find. They took turns leaving “shmily” around the house, and as soon as one of them discovered it, it was their turn to hide it once more. They drag
17、ged “shmily” with their fingers through the sugar and flour containers to await whoever was preparing the next meal. “Shmily” was written in the steam left on the mirror after a hot shower, where it would reappear bath after bath. There was no end to the places where “shmily” would pop up. Little no
18、tes with “shmily” were found on car seats, or taped to steering wheels. The notes were put inside shoes and left under pillows. “Shmily” was written in the dust upon the mantel（壁炉架）and traced in the ashes of the fireplace. This mysterious word was as much a part of my grandparents house as the furni
19、ture.It took me a long time before I was able to fully appreciate my grandparents game. Skepticism has kept me from believing in true love - one that is pure and enduring (持久的). However, I never doubted my grandparents relationship. It was based on passionate（热情的）affection which not everyone is luck
20、y enough to experience.But there was a dark cloud in my grandparents life: my grandmother had breast cancer. The disease had first appeared ten years earlier. As always, Grandpa was with her every step of the way. He comforted her in their yellow room, painted that way so that she could always be su
21、rrounded by sunshine, even when she was too sick to go outside. But my grandmother grew steadily weaker until, finally, she could not leave the house anymore. Then one day, what we all dreaded finally happened. Grandma was gone.“Shmily.” It was written in yellow on the pink ribbons of my grandmother
22、s funeral bouquet (花束). As the crowd thinned and the last mourners turned to leave, Grandpa stepped up to my grandmothers coffin and, taking a shaky breath, he began to sing to her. Through his tears and grief, the song came: S-h-m-i-l-y: See How Much I Love You.51. According to the passage, where m
23、ay the word “shmily” be found?a. in the flour containersb. on the mirrorc. on the sheet of toilet paperd. on pillowse. on the furnitureA. a, b B. b, c C. a, d D. b, e52.

26、s most of the world travel on the right side today? Theories differ, but theres no doubt Napoleon was a major influence. The French have used the right since at least the late 18th century. Some say that before the French Revolution, noblemen drove their carriages on the left, forcing the peasants t
27、o the right. Regardless of the origin, Napoleon brought right-hand traffic to the nations he conquered, including Russia, Switzerland and Germany. Hitler, in turn, ordered right-hand traffic in Czechoslovakia and Austria in the 1930s. Nations that escaped right-hand control, like Great Britain, foll
28、owed their left-hand tradition.The U.S. has not always been a nation of right-hand drivers; earlier in its history, carriage and horse traffic travelled on the left, as it did in England. But by the late 1700s, people driving large wagons pulled by several pairs of horses began promoting a shift（改变）
29、to the right. A driver would sit on the rear（后面的）left horse in order to wave his whip（鞭子）with his right hand; to see opposite traffic clearly, they travelled on the right.One of the final moves to firmly standardize traffic directions in the U.S. occurred in the 20th century, when Henry Ford decided
30、 to mass-produce his cars with controls on the left (one reason, stated in 1908: the convenience for passengers exiting directly onto the edge, especially if there is a lady to be considered). Once these rules were set, many countries eventually adjusted to the right-hand standard, including Canada
31、in the 1920s, Sweden in 1967 and Burma in 1970. The U.K. and former colonies such as Australia and India are among the Western worlds few remaining holdouts(坚持不变者). Several Asian nations, including Japan, use the left as well- though many places use both right-hand-drive and left-hand-drive cars.56. Why did people in Switzerland travel on the right?A. They had used the right-hand traffic since the 18th century.B. Rich people enjoyed driving their carriages on the right.C. Napoleon introduced the right-hand traffic to this country.D. Hitler ordered them to go against thei
