阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Dear Cary,
I’m writing because I’ve understood you’ve struggled with alcoholism(酗酒)．I’ve been fighting mine ever since I went through 9-11．After that，I’ve been more or less useless professionally –I’m a lawyer–and have had to resign from my job because I was discovered passed-out drunk in front of my computer.I’ve taken some medicine and it has helped somewhat.I can manage about a month without drinking，but after that I end up having a crazy stage where nothing matters except drinking．After a week or so of heavy drinking，I start having nightmares of people jumping.After that，it’s a week of not being able to get out of bed.
I was supposed to travel to a conference but didn’t make it because I got so drunk at the airport that I fell down on my face and spent the rest of the day in the emergency room. I have been hiding from my family since then．Fortunately they won’t be expecting me to come back for a week or so.Otherwise, they would notice the bump on my forehead and two black eyes．
I don’t really know what I’m asking you．Cary,I need a way out that doesn’t involve causing pain to my family．I’m taking medicine，but I still have these attacks every few months．If there’s alcohol in the house，I can’t stay away from it．It seems that this will never end. I’m afraid of what will happen if something bad happens，like a family member dying,or getting fired again． Thanks for reading．
Yours T

―Can I see my baby?‖asked the happy new mother. The bundle(婴儿包)was placed in her arms
and when she moved the fold of cloth to look upon his tiny face, she gasped-the baby had been born without ears. Time, however, proved that the baby’s hearing was perfect except his appearance．
One day when he rushed home from school and threw himself into his mother’s arms，he cried out bitterly，―A boy, a big boy…called me－a f—…freak．‖She sighed, knowing that his life was to be endless of heartbreaks． He grew up，handsome for his misfortune．A favorite with his fellow students,he might have been class president,but for that．He developed a gift for literature and music．
The boy’s father had a talk with the family doctor．Could nothing be done?―I believe we could graft(移植)on a pair of outer ears，if they could he donated(捐献)，‖the doctor decided．So the search began for a person who would make such a sacrifice(牺牲)for a young man．Two years went by．Then,―You’re going to the hospital，son．Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need．But it’s a secret．‖said the father．
The operation was a brilliant success．His talents blossomed into genius．School and college became a series of successes．Later he married and entered the diplomatic(外交)service．―But I must know!‖he urged his father．―Who gave so much for me? I could never do enough for him．‖ ―I do not believe you could,‖said the father，―but the agreement was that you are not to know…not yet．‖The years kept the secret,but the day did come …one of the darkest days that ever passed through a son．He stood with his father over his mother’s casket(棺材)．Slowly and tenderly，the father stretched forth a hand and raised the thick，reddish-brown hair to let out the secret． 41．The story is mainly about____________． A．hew a boy had new ears through an operation B．what a devoted parent privately did for the child C．how a disabled boy turned into a useful person D．why a donator made a sacrifice to a bright boy

B．It is up to parents to help their children heart and soul． C．True beauty lies only in the heart not in appearance．
D．It is a virtue for young generations to learn to be grateful． C
Celebrity endorsements
Despite the fact that companies believe celebrities had a lot of pull with regard to the buying trends of consumers,researches have discovered that this does not seem to be the case．British and Swiss researchers conducted a study showing that advertisements made by celebrities like David Beckham and Scarlett Johansson are not as effective as those by ordinary people．
In a sample of 298 students,researchers presented a magazine advertisement for a digital camera that was endorsed by a fictional student claiming the camera was―hot‖and his ―preferred choice‖．The same advertisement was shown to other students，but with a difference：The camera was endorsed by a famous person in Germany．
While the students said that both advertisements were beneficial,the one made by the student topped the celebrity one if students aimed to impress others with their purchases.More than half of the students，who admitted purchasing products that would impress others，said they were influenced by the student’s advertisement．Only 20％ said the celebrity one would affect their buying decision．
Professor Brett Martin，of the University of Bath’s School of Management，explained that the findings could be used not only in Germany,but in other countries as well．―Our research questions whether celebrities are the best ways to sell products，‖said Prof Martin．―Celebrities can be effective but we found that many people were more convinced by an endorsement from a fictional fellow students．This is because many people feel a need to keep up with the Jones when they buy．‖
46．Some companies think the celebrities endorsement ____________． A．is popular with the consumers
B．can pull all the consumers into the shops C．can affect the consumers’ purchasing
D．is as effective as an endorsement from common people
47．Which of the following ads would be more effective to common consumers, according to the experiment?
A．An ad featuring lovely pandas． B．An ad made by David Beckham． C．An ad made by fictional common people．D．An ad with beautiful natural scenery． 48．The underlined words―the Jones‖in the last paragragh refer to―____________ ‖． A．someone called Jones B．common people C．the Jones family D．celebrities 49．We can imply from the passage that ____________． A．celebrities cheat consumers in advertisement
B．the researchers here are against celebrity endorsement
C．the student’s ads are mole reliable than those made by celebrities D．company needn’t spend so much money on celebrity endorsement 50．We can probably read the article in____________ ． A．a local newspaper B．a science report C．an academic journal D．a textbook D
