　　　The human body has developed its millions of nerves to be highly aware of what goes on both inside and outside of it. This helps us adjust to the outside world. Without our nerves and our brain, which is a system of nerves, we couldn’t know what’s happening. But we pay for our sensitivity. We can feel pain when the slightest thing is wrong with any part of our body. The history of torture ( 折磨 ) is based on the human body being open to pain.

　　But there is a way to handle pain. Look at the Indian fakir ( 苦行僧 ) who sits on a bed of nails. Fakirs can put a needle fight through an arm, and feel no pain. This ability that some humans have developed to handle pain should give us ideas about how the mind can deal with pain. 

　　The big thing in withstanding pain is our attitude toward it. If the dentist says, "This will hurt a little," it helps us to accept the pain. By staying relaxed, and by treating the pain as an interesting sensation ( 感觉 ), we can handle the pain without falling apart. After all, although pain is an unpleasant sensation, it is still a sensation, and sensations are the stuff of life.

　　6. The human body has developed a system of nerves that enables us to            

　　A) stay relaxed

　　B) avoid pain

　　C) stand torture

　　D) feel pain

　　7. What does the writer mean by saying "we pay for our sensitivity" in the first paragraph?

　　A) We have to take care of our sense of pain.

　　B) We suffer from our sense of feeling.

　　C) We should try hard to resist pain.

　　D) We are hurt when we feel pain. 

　　8. When the author mentions the Indian fakir, he shows that                

　　A) fakirs possess magic power

　　B) Indians are not afraid of pain

　　C) people can learn to cope with pain

　　D) some people are born without a sense of pain

　　9. What is essential for people to stand pain according to the writer?

　　A) Their relaxation.

　　B) Their interest.

　　C) Their nerves.

　　D) Their attitude.

　　10. The author believes that               

　　A) feeling pain is part of our life

　　B) pain should be avoided at all costs

　　C) feeling pain can be an interesting thing

D) magic power is essential for reducing pain

练习三

　 Researchers have established that when people are mentally engaged, biochemical changes occur in the brain that allow it to act more effectively in cognitive (认知的) areas such as attention and memory. This is true regardless of age.

   People will be alert (警觉的) and receptive (接受能力强的) if they are faced with information that gets them to think about things they are interested in. And someone with a history of doing more rather than less will go into old age more cognitively sound than someone who has not had an active mind.

   Many experts are so convinced of the benefits of challenging the brain that they are putting, the theory to work in their own lives. "The idea is not necessarily to learn to memorize enormous amounts of information." says James Fozard, associate director of the national Institute on Aging. "Most of us don't need that kind of skill. Such specific training is of less interest than being able to maintain mental alertness." Fozard and others say they challenge their brains with different mental skill, both because they enjoy them and because they are sure that their range of activities will help the way their brains work.

   Gene Cohen, acting director of the same institute, suggests that people in their old age should engage in mental and physical activities individually as well as in groups. Cohen says that we are frequently advised to keep physically active as we age, but older people need to keep mentally active as well. Those who do are more likely to maintain their intellectual abilities and to be generally happier and better adjusted. "The point is, you need to do both," Cohen says. "Intellectual activity influences brain-cell health and size." 

11. People who are cognitively healthy are those _____.

A) who can remember large amounts of information   

B) who are highly intelligent 

C) whose minds are alert and receptive      

D) who are good at recognizing different sounds

12. According to Fozard's argument people can make their brains work more efficiently by _____.

A) constantly doing memory work        

B) taking part in various mental activities 

C) going through specific training  

D) making frequent adjustments

13. The findings of James and other scientists in their work _____.

A) remain a theory to be further proved     

B) have been generally accepted   

C) have been challenged by many other experts 

D) are practiced by the researchers themselves

14. Older people are generally advised to _____.

A) keep fit by going in for physical activities

B) keep mentally active by challenging their brains

C) maintain mental alertness through specific training

D) maintain a balance between individual and group activities

15. What is the passage mainly about?

A) How biochemical changes occur in the human brain.

B) Why people should keep active not only physically but also mentally.

C) How intellectual activities influence brain-cell health.

D) Why people should receive special mental training as they age.

Attention to detail is something everyone can and should do--especially in a tight job market. Bob Crossley, a human-resources expert notices this in the job applications that come across his desk every day. "It's amazing how many candidates eliminate themselves." he says.

Resume (简历) arrive with stains. Some candidates don't bother to spell the company's name correctly. Once I see a mistake, I eliminate the candidate," Crossley concludes. "If they cannot take of these details, why should we trust them with a job?"

Can we pay too much attention to detail? Absolutely. Perfectionists struggle over little things at the cost of something larger they work toward, "To keep from losing the forest for the trees", says Charles Garfield, associate professor at the University of California, San Francisco, "We must constantly ask ourselves how the details we're working on fit into the larger picture. If they don't, we should drop them and move to something else".

Garfield compares this process to his work as a computer scientist at NASA. "The Apollo II moon launch was slightly off-course 90 percent of the time." Says Garfield, "But a successful landing was still likely because we knew the exact coordinates of our goal. This allowed us to make adjustments as necessary." Knowing where we want to go helps us judge the importance of every task we undertake.

Too often we believe what accounts for others' success is some special secret or a lucky break (机遇). But rarely is success so mysterious. Again and again, we see that by doing little things within our grasp well, large rewards follow.

16. According to the passage, some job applicants were rejected _____.

(A) because of their carelessness as shown in their failure to present a clean copy of a resume

(B) because of their inadequate education as shown in their poor spelling in writing a resume

(C) because they failed to give detailed description of their background in their applications

(D) because they eliminated their names from the applicants' list themselves

17. The word "perfectionists" (para. 3, Line) refers to those who _____.

(A) demand others to get everything absolutely right

(B) know how to adjust their goals according to the circumstances

(C) pay too much attention to details only to lose their major objectives

   Britain almost more than any other country in the world must seriously face the problem of building upwards, that is to say, of accommodating a considerable proportion of its population in high blocks of flats. It is said that the English man objects to this type of existence, but if the case is such, he does in fact differ from the inhabitants of most countries of the world today. In the past our own blocks of flats have been associated with the lower-income groups and they have lacked the obvious provisions, such as central heating, constant hot water supply, electrically operated lifts from top to bottom, and so on, as well as such details, important notwithstanding (然而), as easy facilities for disposal of dust and rubbish and storage places for baby carriages in the ground floor, playgrounds for children on the top of the buildings, and drying grounds for washing. It is likely that the dispute regarding flats versus (对，对抗) individual houses will continue to rage on for a long time as far as Britain is concerned. And it is unfortunate that there should be hot feelings on both sides whenever this subject is raised. Those who oppose the building of flats base their case primarily on the assumption (设想) that everyone prefers an individual home and on the high cost per unit of accommodation. The latter ignores the higher cost of providing full services to a scattered community and the cost in both money and time of the journeys to work for the suburban resident.

21. We can infer from the passage that _____.

(A) English people, like most people in other countries, dislike living in flats

(B) people in most countries of the world today are not opposed to living in flats

(C) people in Britain are forced to move into high blocks of flats

(D) modern flats still fail to provide the necessary facilities for living

22. What is said about blocks of flats built in the past in Britain?

(A) They were mostly inhabited by people who did not earn much.

(B) They were usually not large enough to accommodate big families.

(C) They were sold to people before necessary facilities were installed.

(D) They provided playgrounds for children on the top of the buildings.

23. The word "rage" (Line 9) means _____.

(A) be ignored         

(B) develop with great force  

(C) encourage people greatly   

(D) be in fashion

24. Some people oppose the building of flats because _____.

(A) the living expenses for each individual family are higher

(B) it involves higher cost compared with the building of houses

(C) they believe people like to live in houses with gardens

(D) the disposal of rubbish remains a problem for those living in flats

25. The author mentions that people who live in suburban houses _____.

(A) do not have access to easy facilities because they live away from the city

(B) have to pay a lot of money to employ people to do service work

(C) take longer time to know each other because they are a scattered community

(D) have to spend more money and time travelling to work every day

   Where do pesticides (杀虫剂) fit into the picture of environmental disease? We have seen that they now pollute soil, water and food, that they have the power to make our streams fishless and our gardens and woodlands silent and birdless. Man, however much he may like to pretend the contrary, is part of nature. Can he escape a pollution that is now so thoroughly distributed throughout our world:

   We know that even single exposures to these chemicals, if the amount is large enough, can cause extremely severe poisoning. But this is not the major problem. The sudden illness or death of farmers, farmworkers, and others exposed to sufficient quantities of pesticides is very sad and should not occur. For the population as a whole, we must be more concerned with the delayed effects of absorbing small amounts of the pesticides that invisibly pollute our world.

   Responsible public health officials have pointed out that the biological effects of chemicals are cumulative (累积) over long periods of time, and that the danger to individual may depend on the sum of the exposures received throughout his lifetime. For these very reasons the danger is easily ignored. It is human nature to shake off what may seem to us a threat of future disaster. "Men are naturally most impressed by diseases which have obvious signs, " says a wise physician, Dr Rene Dubos, "yet some of their worst enemies slowly approach them unnoticed."

36. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the sentence "Man... is part of nature" (Para. 1, Lines 3-4)?

(A) Man appears indifferent to what happens in nature.

(B) Man acts as if he does not belong to nature.

(C) Man can avoid the effects of environmental pollution.

(D) Man can escape his responsibilities for environmental effects of pesticides?

37. What is the author's attitude toward the environmental effects of pesticides?

(A) Pessimistic          (C) Defensive

(B) Indifferent        (D) Concerned

38. In the author's view, the sudden death caused by exposure to large amounts of pesticides _____.

(A) is not the worst of the negative consequences resulting from the use of pesticides

(B) now occurs most frequently among all accidental deaths

(C) has sharply increased so as to become the center of public attention

(D) is unavoidable because people can't do without pesticides in farming

39. People tend to ignore the delayed effects of exposure to chemical because _____.

(A) limited exposure to them does little harm to people's health

(B) the present is more important for them than the future

(C) the danger does not become apparent immediately

(D) humans are capable of withstanding small amounts of poisoning

40. It can be concluded from Dr. Dubos remarks that _____.

(A) people find invisible diseases difficult to deal with

(B) attacks by hidden enemies tend to be fatal

(C) diseases with obvious signs are easy to cure

(D) people tend to overlook hidden dangers caused by pesticides

 Looking back on my childhood，I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed (紧抱的) flowers and insects. Unlike  them, I hand no ear for music and languages, I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.

  Before World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary.I have onlythe dim memory of the house we lived in,of my room and my toys.(76) Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents,aunts,uncles and cousins who gathered next door . But I do have a crystal-clear memory of dogs, the farm animals, the local birds and above all,the insects.

  I am a naturalist,not a scientist.I have a strong love of the natural world,and my enthusiasm has led me into varied investigations. I love dis- cussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil oil, reading about other people’s observations and discoveries. Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle (谜), because it all seems to fit   together.This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books,which somemight honor with the title of scientific research.

  But curiosity,a keen eye,a good memory and enjoyment of the animal andplant world do not make a scientist; one of the outstanding and  essential qualities required is self-discipline, a quality I lack. A scientist can bemade.A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds.

练习八 

If you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised  to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.

Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high- class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere  in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some   business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.

The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests,but alsoserve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturallygo to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter.Withsuch a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.

The Finnish workers are paid by the hour.  (77)  They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate. From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and  they will be paid    accordingly.

With so many loopholes(漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be aheaven to those who love to take“petty advantages”. But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been  found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest    account of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good    faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone  into a real “gentleman”. (78) In a society of such high moral practice,  what need is there for people to be on guard against others?

36. While taking a taxi in Finland, _____.

A. a passenger can go anywhere without having to pay the driver 

B. a passenger pays two US dollars for a taxi ride

C. a passenger can never be turned down by the taxi driver wherever he        wants to go

D. a passenger needs to provide good faith demonstration before they  leave without paying

37. We know from the passage that big hotels in Finland_____.

A. provide meals for only those who live in the hotels

B. provide meals for any diners

C. provide free wine and charge for food

D. are mostly poorly managed

38. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? 

A. The workers in Finland are paid by the hour.

B. The bosses in Finland are too busy to check the working hours of   their employees.

C. The workers are always honest with their working hours.

D. The workers and their bosses will make an agreement in advance     about the pay.

39. The word “those” in the last paragraph probably refers to  _____.

A. people who often take taxis

B. people who often have meals in big hotels

C. people who are dishonest

D. people who are worthy of trust

40. It can be concluded that  _____.

A. Finnish people are not smart enough in daily life 

B. Finland has been a good place for cheats

C. the Finnish society is of very high moral level

D. all the Finns are rich

 There are many factors which may have an influence on adults and      children being able to lead a healthy life.

Nowadays, people are very busy. Often, both parents work outside the  home. Children are expected to take on more responsibility at home to help their parents. They also have sporting  and leisure activities as well as  school expectations. 

The busyness also adds another factor: the need to use cars to get    from one place to another quickly.

  Today, society places a lot of emphasis on technology. Computers,DVDs，CDs, television, PlayStations and Xboxes have become major leisure activi- ties, rather than traditional more active pursuits. This has led to a more sedentary lifestyle.

  The media provide entertainment and information.(79)Unfortunately,theyalso promote fast food which fits easily into busy lifestyles. It is  much more convenient at times to buy a quick takeaway rather than prepare a meal.The media constantly bombard(轰炸)their audience with‘perfect’body images,the need to buy the most fashionable clothes, the most up-to-date computer games, the best places to visit and the best things to do.

  Environments vary. We may be exposed to pollution, such as cigarette  smoke. This can be harmful to people who suffer from breathing difficulties. (80)Environments where passive smoking is unavoidable make it difficult to lead a healthy life.

   It is important for everyone to be accepted and cared about by familyand friends. Both of these groups can influence people—positively and ne-gatively.Negative feelings can lead people to adopt an unhealthy lifestyle.     Perhaps the most important factor influencing healthy lifestyles is  motivation, or the desire to be healthy.Any person who wants to be healthywill find a way to be healthy —if he/she is motivated enough!

41. The passage is mainly about _____.

A. benefits of a healthy lifestyle

B. demands of daily life 

C. factors affecting a healthy lifestyle

D. a positive approach to healthy living 

42. The word “sedentary” in Paragraph 4 probably means _____. 

A. having a lot of things to do 

B. involving little exercise or physical activity

C. being isolated from the outside world

D. experiencing a lot of stress

43. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as a factor  leading to the popularity of fast food?

A. Cheap price.   

B. The media.   

C. Busy lifestyle.   

D. Convenience

44. Which is NOT listed as a factor influencing the ability to have a   healthy lifestyle?

Appleyard observed this by fir house in San Francisco that looked much alike and had middle-class and working-class residents, with approximately t The difference was that only 2,000 cars a day ran down Octavia in Appleyard’s terminology) while Gough Street (MEDIUM stre cars a day, and Franklin Street (HEAVY street) had around 16,000 cars a day. Franklin Street often had as many cars in an hour as Octavia Street had in a day. Heavy traffic brought with it danger, noise, fumes, and soot, directly, and trash secondarily. That is, the cars didn’t bring in much trash, but when trash accumulated, residents seldom picked it up. The cars, Appleyard determined, reduced the amount of territory residents felt responsible for. Noise was a constant intrusion into their homes. Many Franklin Street residents covered their doors and windows and spent most of their time in the rear of their houses. Most families with children had already left.

Conditions on Octavia Street were much different. Residents picked up trash. They sat on their front steps and chatted with neighbors. They had three times as many friends and twice as many acquaintances as the people on Franklin. 

On Gough Street, residents said that the old feeling of community was disappearing as traffic increased. People were becoming more and more preoccupied with their own lives.

    Imagine, if you will, the average games player. What do you see? A guy who never grew up? Or a nervous 18-year-old pushing buttons on his controller, lost and alone in a violent onscreen world? Sorry, you lose. The average gamer is starting to look pretty much like the average person. For the first time, according to a U.S. poll commissioned by AOL Games, roughly half of those surveyed, ages 12 to 55, are tapping away at some kind of electronic game － whether on a PC, a cell phone or another handheld device － for an average of three hours every week. 

The games people play say a lot about who they are. Machines like the Xbox and PlayStation 2 are largely the territory of twenty-something men, who prefer to picture themselves as sports stars and racing drivers. Men 50 and older prefer military games. Teenage girls are much more likely than boys to play games on their phone, while older women make up the majority of people playing card games such as Hearts on line. 

Is it a good thing, all this time spent on games? Or is it as harmful as television, pulling people ever further from reality? The AOL survey suggests some players are in denial about the extent of their habit. One in 10 gamers finds it impossible to resist games; 1 in 4 admits to losing a night’s sleep to play games; and another quarter has been too absorbed to have meals. 

But don’t think we’re all heading into a world with everyone plugged into, if not totally controlled by, his own game. Quite the contrary: gamers appear to be more engaged with reality than other kinds of couch potatoes. According to a comprehensive survey by the Entertainment Software Association (ESA – whose members, of course, want you to think video games are healthy), gamers spend an average of 23 hours a week volunteering and going to church, concerts, museums and other cultural events. More enthusiastic gamers who play 11 hours a week or more spend ever more time out in the cultural world (34 hours). 

51. The AOL survey finds that electronic games . 

[A] do not present a violent onscreen world 

[B] no longer keep gamers from growing up 

[C] are no longer exclusive to young people 

[D] are not as popular with teenagers as before 

52. Who does the author say tend to identify themselves with the characters in the game? 

[A] Teenage girls. 

[B] Older women. 

[C] Men in their 20s. 

[D] Men 50 and older. 

53. When asked about the extent of their habit, some players . 

[A] refused to provide an answer to this question 

[B] denied they were affected by electronic games 

[C] wondered why they were asked such a question 

[D] stressed their interest in playing electronic games 

54. It can be inferred from the text that . 

[A] electronic games are less harmful than television 

[B] television viewers are more realistic than gamers 

[C] television is more popular than electronic games 

[D] gamers have less self-control than TV viewers 

55. According to the writer, the ESA members . 

[A] have sufficient knowledge of games 

[B] think their games are healthy products 

[C] serve as the role models for game players 

[D] are concerned about gamers’ cultural activities

练习十四

The ostrich, the largest bird in the world at present, lives in the drier regions of Africa outside the actual deserts. Because of its very long, powerful legs and the floating effect of its extended wings, it is able to run at great speed over considerable distances. 

    The female ostrich normally produces about twenty eggs every rainy season. When the female ostrich begins to lay her eggs, however, she does not begin in her own nest. Instead she goes off in search of the nests of neighboring females and lays two or three eggs in each of them. By the time she has laid eight or nine eggs, she returns and lays the rest in her own nest. 

    Because of the size of the eggs, the female ostrich cannot lay more than one every two days, so it takes her three weeks to finish laying in her own nest. During that period, she spends a lot of time away from her nest looking for food. And while she is off her nest, other females visit it to lay their eggs amongst hers. By the time she is ready to sit on the eggs to hatch them, there could be up to thirty eggs in her nest, over half of which are not her own. 

    The female ostrich can comfortably cover only about twenty eggs when she is sitting on the nest so before settling down she pushes the surplus ten or so eggs out of the nest. The rejected eggs, however, never include any of her own. Each female is remarkably consistent in the size and shape of the eggs she produces, so it is not difficult for her to distinguish her own from those of strangers. 

    Of all the eggs laid by a colony of ostriches, only a very small number hatch into young birds. There are times when nests are left unprotected, for there are too few males to sit on all the nests at night. Thus there are ample opportunities for their natural enemies to raid the nests and eat the eggs. In fact, nearly 80% of the nests are destroyed. But even if a particular female’s nest suffers this fate, there is a good chance that one or two of her eggs will be hatched in the nest of one of her neighbors. 

56. We learn from the text that an ostrich can go a long distance at high speed as . 

[A] it is a special kind of bird 

[B] it lives in large desert areas 

[C] it has special wings and legs 

[D] it is the largest bird in the world 

57. Normally, in every rainy season, the female ostrich produces about . 

[A] 12 eggs in her nest 

[B] 18 eggs in her nest 

[C] 20 eggs in her nest 

[D] 30 eggs in her nest 

58. The female ostrich would push some of the eggs out of her nest because . 

[A] she can only hatch her own eggs 

[B] those eggs are unlikely to be hatched 

[C] those eggs are to be hatched by others 

[D] she can only hatch a limited number of eggs 

59. The female ostrich identifies her own eggs by their size and . 

[A] color 

[B] number 

[C] shape 

[D] weight 

60. The female ostrich lays her eggs in her neighbors’ nests most probably because . 

[A] her nest is not big enough 

[B] she cannot protect all her eggs 

[C] she cannot tolerate all her eggs 

[D] her nest is not comfortable enough

　　A former town hall worker made legal history last week when she was awarded 67,000 pounds for stress brought on by her work. The ruling made Beverley Lancaster the first person to get their employer to accept legal responsibility for stress-related personal injury in a British court. It is likely to start a flood of other worker’s claims; Mrs. Lancaster’s union already has 7,000 stress-related cases on its books.

　　The 44-year-old mother of two started a legal case against Birmingham City Council after falling ill while working as a troubleshooter in a neighborhood housing office. Dealing with rude and abusive members of the public pushed her into periods of gloom and she suffered anxiety, Birmingham county court heard. Mrs. Lancaster joined the council at 16, working her way up from junior clerk to senior draughtswoman. Her problems began when she was promoted to housing officer in Sutton Oldfield. "With no continuity, a constant high workload and little clerical support, I found it difficult to switch from one problem or situation to another," she said. "My concentration swung and I suffered sleepless nights. It made me feel like I was in a hole with no key to open the door. I would break down in tears. I was being in paperwork and at times my mind would just go blank."

　　In awarding compensation of 67,491 pounds, assistant recorder Frances Kirkham said she understood the position of troubleshooter was very different from Mrs. Lancaster’s precious job. She rejected claims from the council that Mrs. Lancaster would be able to go back to her former profession, saying she accepted that the possibility of future work would be less capacity. 

　　After the hearing Mrs. Lancaster said she was relieved and pleased. She added, "I hope this will act as a warning to employers. Everything I did was right. The council made promises to me and they failed me. I felt isolated, let down, that I was not good enough, not wanted." The payout, the first of its kind to be decided in a county court, covers loss of wages and future loss of earnings.

　　A spokesman for Birmingham City Council said action had been taken by the authority to review its staff and management procedures.

　　Life learning (sometimes called un-schooling or self-directed learning) is one of those concepts that are almost easier to explain by saying what it isn’t, than what it is. And that’s probably because our own schooled backgrounds have convinced us that learning happens only in a dedicated building on certain days, between certain hours, and managed by a specially trained professional.

　　Within that schooling framework, no matter how hard teachers try and no matter how good their textbooks, many bright students get bored, many slower students struggle and give up or lose their self-respect, and most of them reach the end of the process unprepared to enter into society. They have memorized a certain body of knowledge long enough to rush back the information on tests, but they haven’t really learnt much, at least of the official curriculum.

　　Life learners, on the other hand, know that learning is not difficult, that people learn things quite easily if they’re not compelled and forced, if they see a need to learn something, and if they are trusted and respected enough to learn it on their own timetable, at their own speed, in their own way. They know that learning cannot be produced in us and that we cannot produce it in others—no matter what age and no matter whether we’re at school or at home. 

　　Life learning is independent of time, location or the presence of teacher. It does not require mom or dad to teach, or kids to work in workbooks at the kitchen table from 9 to noon from September to June. Life learning is learner-driven. It involves living and learning— in and from the real world. It is about exploring, questioning, experimenting, making messes, taking risks without fear of making mistakes, being laughed at and trying again. 

　　Furthermore, life learning is about trusting kids to learn what they need to know and about helping them to learn and grow in their own ways. It is about providing positive experiences that enable children to understand the world and their culture and to interact with it. 

66.It is implied in the text that it is hard to ______.

A. carry life learning though

B. tell the nature of life learning

C. learn without going to school

D. find a specially trained teacher

67.According to the author, the schooling framework often ______.

A. produces slow students with poor memories

B. ignores some parts of the official curriculum

C. fails to provide enough knowledge about life

D. gives little care to the quality of teaching materials

68.Life learners recognize that learning will not be difficult if they are ______.

A. clear about why to learn 

B. careful to make a time table 

C. able to respect other people 

D. cautious about any mistakes

69.According to the author, life learning ______.

A. could prevent one from running risks

B. could be a road full of trials and errors

C. makes a kid independent of his parents

D. teaches a kid how to avoid being scorned

70.Through life learning, children ______.

A. will grow without the assistance from parents

B. will learn to communicate with the real world

C. will be driven to learn necessary life knowledge

D. will be isolated from the negative side of society

　　To find Kim Hyung Gyoon’ s office in Samsung’s R&D complex, just follow the baskets of dirt clothes. No, Kim is not running the company laundry. As chief of Samsung’s Washing & Cleaning Technology Group(WCTG), he’s the man behind a new washing machine that deposits tiny silver particles(small pieces of things) —about 1 / 10,000 the thickness of a human hair— onto clothes to make them germ-and-odor-free without the need of hot water. The device represents the first mass-produced application of this tape of nanotechnology — the science of very small structures—to home appliances. "In summer of 2002, I asked everyone in the office to take off their socks," says Kim. "took one sock from each person and placed it in a regular washing machine; the others were washed in a machine with the Ag+ Nano System. The next day, I asked everyone to check the odor of their socks after a day’s wear. One began produce a strong unpleasant smell, and the other was odorless."

　　Kim says he came up with the idea five years ago while on a business trip to Japan, where he learned of a brand of socks that retained their freshness even after many days of unwashed wear and tear. Tiny sticks of sliver with germ-killing chemicals were woven into the fabric. When he got back to Seoul, Kim applied the principle to washing machines.

According to the Korea Testing & Research Industry, Samsung’s device kills 99.9% of germs. Kim says garments stay germ-free for up to a month after being laundered. The Ag+ Nano device went on sale in March 2003 and costs around $1,150; the revolutionary technology is also being used in Samsung’s refrigerators and air conditioners.

No wonder: consumers seem to a little sliver in their spin cycles. Since Samsung’s nano-armed products were first launched, they have brought in an estimated $779 million in revenue. Overall, nanotech has been one of science’s fastest-growing fields in recent years, with potential applications in fields as diverse as energy production and toothpaste manufacture. The nanotech market is projected to be worth $1 trillion by 2015.

71.Which of the following best describes the nature of Kim Hyung Gyoon’s work?

A. Product developmen

C. Research designin

D. Sales promotio

72.One advantage of nano-armed washing machines is that ______.

A. one wash-load is much larger than before

B. the clean-up is done with an additional benefit

C. cleaning powder is no longer necessary

D. a lot of water could be saved

73.In terms of nanotechnology, Kim was the first ______.

A. to use it in washing machines

B. to come up with the idea

C. to introduce it to Korea

D. to apply it to socks

74.The author believes that the future of nanotechnology will be ______.

Is Failure a Bad Thing

Failure is a common thing in our daily life. As students, we sometimes fail to get high scores in our examinations. When we play games, we might be beaten by others. And there are times when we fail to do satisfactory work. All these failures happen naturally and almost every one of us has such experiences.

However, there are different attitudes towards failure. Some people lose heart when they fail; they think the world is at its end. Some people don’t take failure seriously but just let it be, while some others learn much from failure, and therefore see the light of hope through failure.

In my opinion, what really counts is not failure itself, but what we think of failure and what we do after failure. As long as we don’t give up, keeping believing in ourselves, and in the meantime learn something from failure, we’ll certainly make our mark in the end. So I am never afraid of failure, for I believe that failure is not a bad thing. Rather, “Failure is the mother of success.”

 

How I overcome My Difficulties in Learning English

To a Chinese, the task of learning English well is not easy. So I, like many other English learners, have met with difficulties in learning English during the past seven years. But I managed to overcome them and made much progress.

The spelling and meaning of words can be said to be the first difficulty I met as a beginner. But I found our my own way to deal with them. As to spelling, I never copied a new work again and again to remember it, but tried to find its relevance to the sound. In fact, as long as I can read the word out, I can write it out. As to the meaning, I rarely recite its Chinese translation but often put the word into the sentence to learn its meaning. Moreover, if you use a word quite often, its spelling and meaning will be no problem. After all, we are learning English in order to use it.

Grammar and idioms may be another difficulty. But I have also got over it. I have not read lots of grammar books. But I spent much time reading the articles written by native speakers or specialists in English. By doing so, I came to gain “a sense of English language”. I began to gain a feel for which sentences are “good English” and which are not.

Finally, I want to say that overcoming all these difficulties requires perseverance. In the past seven years I spent at least an hour on English each day. I believe this is an important reason why I am able to make progress in learning English.

 Ideal job

Everyone has his own ideal job. Some want to be doctors, some want to be teachers, and some want to be engineers.

My ideal job is in teaching. Firstly, I like children very much. I would like to sing, to dance, and to play with them. Secondly, a teacher has two vacations each. I can enjoy myself during the summer and winter holidays. Finally, I want to teach the students all that I know and help them to develop their potential so that they can work better for our country in the future.

In order to be a good teacher, I will study hard not only in class, but also in daily life. I will train my patience, improve my handwriting, and enrich my knowledge. In a word, I will study harder than ever to prepare for my future teaching job.

 

Global Shortage of Fresh Water 

Many people believe that the world’s supply of fresh water will never be used up. They think that fresh water comes from such a variety of sources that it is always sufficient for use. Such an opinion leads to a shocking waste of water.

As a matter of fact, the earth is short of fresh water. Furthermore, with the rapid growth of the world’s population, the rising demand for water by industry, and the serious pollution of our surroundings, the world is facing the danger of running out of fresh water. Actually, in some big cities, fresh water cannot meet the daily needs.

Therefore, to find new ways to save water is an urgent task. First, we should pass strict laws to control any waste of water. Second, scientists must work even harder to purify sea water and polluted water, and try to find substitutes to reduce the use of fresh water.

 Practice Makes Perfect 

The famous saying “Practice makes perfect” is widely accepted today. It means if we practice unfamiliar things again and again, we’ll be able to perform it perfectly.

The practice of learning English is a good example. We are not living in an English speaking country. So, in order to learn it well, we need extra practice, such as reading English books, going to English corners, or communicating with foreigners. Only sitting at the desk cannot lead to the mastery of English.

As another example, if we want to be skilled in using the computer, we also need to practice using it. Some children become little experts in computer, just because they play with it everyday. On the contrary, if we just stick to books, we will still feel confused when using computers. Judging from the evidence offered, we might safely draw the conclusion that practice makes perfect.

 

Is A Test of Spoken English Necessary? 

A test of spoken English will be included as an optional (component of the College English Test (CET). Some people contend that it is absolutely necessary to hold a test of spoken English in China because we have been told many times that a Chinese student who has been learning English for years cannot communicate with a native English speaker. Sometimes even those top students who excel at grammar and writing skills find their English inadequate to express their thoughts freely when speaking. A test of spoken English will bring the importance of speaking English to the awareness of the college students, and thus help them with their communicating skills.

On the other hand, there are also people who maintain that good reading and writing skills would be enough for the average English learners. College students are already under considerable pressure from their coursework. Another required test will only add to their burden. Also, some students may take the shortcut and only practice the questions according to the fixed format of the test, which will not actually improve their spoken English. 

I believe that a test of spoken English will do more good than harm. Since China will continue its policy of opening and reform, the ability to speak fluent English is a must for anyone who wants to surpass others in a highly competitive society. Whether I take the test or not, I shall make all efforts to practice my spoken English in the rest years in college.

 

 A Letter to the University President about the Canteen Service on Campus

January 12th, 2012

Dear Mr. President,

I’m very lucky to attend this world-famous university, but I’m afraid I’m not content with the canteen service on campus.

Firstly, the quality of the dishes should be improved. Undoubtedly, there are a lot of delicious dishes, but all the year round, they are the same. More and more students are complaining about eating the same food each day. So I think the most urgent problem is variety.

Secondly, the price is a bit too high. Many of us hope that the canteen can provide us with not only delicious but also cheaper food.

Finally, the environment is so noisy that we can’t enjoy our meals in good mood. I suggest that there be some soft music to help us relax.

These suggestions are not just of my own, but also of may other students. We hope our respectable president will pay attention to our suggestions.

By the way, the canteen workers are very patient and always smiling. So I think if our university offers them better conditions, they will offer us better service.

 

                                                                Yours sincerely,

                                                                          Liming

Free Admission to Museums?

Nowadays, a lot of museums open to the public for free, and a lot of people are attracted to go there. However, it also brought some unexpected problems.

At present, people can get knowledge from many ways like libraries, internet, and other sources. However, there is also much information that people cannot get from the above ways. Free admission museums supply more chances for the public to get knowledge that cannot be easily accessed. People can learn more things about history, art, science and so on. Although, this kind of policy brought much convenience to the public, it also caused some problems. For example, beggars and shabby-dressed people may enter the museums and cause bad reputation among the public; along with the increasing number of people getting into museums, there will be no enough service establishments to meet the requirements; besides, under the policy of free admission, the cultural relics displayed there may be inevitably broken or damaged by the crowds. Moreover, the crowds in the museums may also cause security problems.

In my opinion, free admission is a good policy for the public, and it brings the public much convenience. But, we should also take possible measures to protect the cultural relics and maintain the order of spot. Besides, we can also take the policy of giving free admission first to children, then to the retired person, and last to the public. I think, this may help to solve the problems.

 

 

Disposable Plastic Bags

    Nowadays we may find ourselves surrounded by a sea of disposable plastics bags. And recently the problems of using disposable plastic bags have been brought into people's focus.

    First of all, the use of disposable plastic bags causes irreversible harm to our environment. As these bags are not biodegradable, they are blocking the drainage system and causing water pollution.

    What's more, customers using disposable plastic bags may think that they are of great convenience. But what they don't quite realize is that there will be remarkable negative impact on our health. And sometimes careless disposal of these bags may even poison some innocent animals.

    In view of the severity of this issue, effective measures have been taken in our country. There has been a strict limit on the using of disposable plastic bags in supermarkets, which not only enhances people's awareness on environmental protection but also cuts down the cost of the running of supermarkets.

 

1. 许多人喜欢在除夕夜看春节晚会

2. 但有些人提出取消春节晚会

3. 我的看法

 

The approach of the Chinese Lunar New Year poses a national issue concerning the necessity of holding the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. Its established status is being challenged by a growing number of people, especially by younger generations. It is increasingly difficult to cater for all tastes. 

Some individuals deem that it should be canceled or replaced by other programs. These young people focus their attention on other forms of celebration instead of immersing themselves in TV. Despite that, the majority of mid-aged people and senior citizens uphold the importance of the traditional performance. The most striking feature of this gala is its traditionally close link with ordinary people's lives. Most of people view this gala as an annual staple on the traditional Chinese Spring Festival Eve. They all have a restless night and glue their eyes on the television. 

I am not supportive of the view that the grand gala should be abandoned. Undoubtedly, it plays a vital role in the celebration of Chinese New Year. To increase its appeal and meet young adults' need, the upcoming performance should invite some big names including super stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan. We are all eagerly anticipating this unforgettable evening show.
