My brother-in-law opened the bottom drawer of my sister's bureau(衣橱) and picked out a wonderful skirt. \"Jan bought this the first time we went to New York, at least 8 or 9 years ago. She never wore it. She was saving it for a special occasion.‖ Well, I guess this is the occasion.
He took the skirt from me and put it on the bed.His hands touched the soft material for a moment, then he shut the drawer and turned to me, \"Don't ever save anything for a special occasion. Every day you're alive is a special occasion.\"
I'm still thinking about his words, and they've changed my attitude to life. I'm spending more time with my family and friends and less time in committee meetings. Whenever possible, life should be a pattern of experience to enjoy,not suffer.I'm tryingto recognize these moment now and treasure them.
\"Someday\" and \"one of these days\" are being lost from my vocabulary.If it's worth seeing or hearing or doing, I want to see and hear and do it now. I' m not sure whatmy sister would have done if she had known she wouldn't have tomorrow .
I think she would have called family members and a few close friends. She might have called a few former friends to apologize and mend her fences for past things. I like to think she would have gone out for a Chinese dinner, her favorite food.
If I knew that my hours were limited ,those little things left undone would make meangry. Angry because I put off seeing good friends whom I was going to get in touchwith someday.Angry and sorry because I didn't tell my husband and daughter often enough how much I truly love them.
I'm trying very hard not to put off, hold back, or save anything that would add laughter to our lives. And every morning when I open my eyes, I tell myself that everyday, every minute, every breath truly, is... a gift from God.

Grandpa Nybakken loved life — especially when he could play a trick on somebody. At those times, his large Norwegian frame shook with laughter while he pretended innocent surprise, exclaiming, ―Oh, forevermore!‖ But on a cold Saturday in downtown Chicago, Grandpa felt that God played a trick on him, and grandpa wasn‘t laughing.
Grandpa worked as a carpenter. On this particular day, he was building some boxes for the clothes his church was sending to an orphanage abroad. On his way home, he reached into his shirt pocket to find his glasses, but they were gone. He remembered putting them there that morning, so he drove back to the church. His search proved fruitless.

金太阳新课标资源网 wx.jtyjy.com
Suddenly, he realized what happened. The glasses had slipped out of his pocket unnoticed and fallen into one of the boxes, which he had nailed shut. His brand new glasses were heading for China!
The Great Depression was at its height, and Grandpa had six children. He had spent twenty dollars for those glasses that very morning.
―It‘s not fair,‖ he told God as he drove home in frustration. ―I‘ve been very faithful in giving of my time and money to your work, and now this.‖
Several months later, the director of the orphanage was on vacation in the United States. He wanted to visit all the churches that supported him, so he came to speak on Sunday night at my grandfather‘s small church in Chicago. Grandpa and his family sat in their usual seats among the small congregation (教堂会众).
―But most of all,‖ he said, ―I must thank you for the glasses you sent last year.‖
―Even if I had the money, there was simply no way of replacing those glasses. Along with not being able to see well, I experienced headaches every day, so my co-workers and I were much in prayer about this. Then your boxes arrived. When my staff removed the covers, they found a pair of glasses lying on the top.‖ After a long pause, he continued, ―Folks, when I tried on the glasses, it was as though they had been custom-made just for me! I want to thank you for being a part of that!‖
The people listened, happy for the amazing glasses. But the director surely must have confused their church with another, they thought, there were no glasses on their list of items to be sent overseas.
But sitting quietly in the back, with tears streaming down his face, an ordinary carpenter realized the Master Carpenter had used him in an extraordinary way. 61. Which of the following is NOT true about Grandpa Nybakken according to the passage? 【湖南师大附中2010届四次月考】【判断正误】
A. He was an outgoing man and held an active attitude towards life. B. He had a large family to support.

One of the keys to being successful in what you do is persistence. Once you have determined exactly what you want to achieve, you must take massive action on a constant basis in order to succeed.
One of the things you'll notice on your journey towards your goal are roadblocks. That is, you will come across obstacles that seem to jump out of nowhere in an attempt to discourage your progress. Actually, they are a part of life. Everyone would have every success that ever wanted if there were no obstacles. Your job is to be persistent and work through obstacles. If you find little or no obstacles along the way, you are not really challenging yourself. And when you do reach your goal, you won' t experience the feeling of \"sweet success\". Make your goal a challenging one!
If you take the time to study a successful person, you will learn that the vast majority of them have had more ―failures‖ than they have had ―successes‖. This is because successful people are persistent; the more they stumble, the more they get right back up and try again. On the other hand, people who don' t get back up and try again never reach success. For example, Walt Disney was turned down 302 times before he got financing for his dream of creating the \"Happiest Place on Earth\" . Today, due to his persistence, millions of people have shared \"the joy of Disney\". Colonel Sanders spent two years driving across the United States looking for restaurants to buy his chicken recipe. He was turned down 1,009 times! How successful is Kentucky Fried Chicken today!
Having known these facts, keep in mind that you must constantly reevaluate your circumstances and the approach you are using to reach your goal. There is no sense in being persistent at

something that you are doing incorrectly! Sometimes you have to modify your approach along the way. Every time you do something you learn from it, and therefore find a better way to do it the next time.
Today is the day to begin your journey, using consistency and persistency, towards tomorrow's successes!

A. challenges we come across are rewarding

Qian Xuesen is one of the pioneers of China's space science. As a world-famous expert on aerospace rockets and aerodynamics, he obtained great achievements in the areas of applied mechanics, engineering cybernetics and system engineering and made distinguished contributions to the foundation and development of Chinese aerospace undertaking(事业).
Graduated from Shanghai Jiaotong University in 1934, Qian Xuesen went to the United States to study in MIT, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, one year later. After receiving master's degree in MIT, he went to study in California Institute of Technology and received PhD degrees in both aerospace and mathematics.
In 1955, six years after the founding of People's Republic of China, Qian Xuesen returned to his motherland. His return brought China the hope of developing space science and its own missiles.
In 1956, Qian Xuesen put forward ―Proposal on the Development of China's Aviation Industry for National Defense‖. With the support from Zhou Enlai, the premier, and marshal Nie Rongzheng, Qian Xuesen began to prepare for the establishment of China's first missile and rocket research and development structure, the Fifth Research Institute of State Ministry of Defense. Henceforth(从此以后), he has long been in charge of the chief technological research and development of China's missile, rocket and spacecraft.
Due to research and development led by Qian Xuesen, China successfully exploded its first atom bomb in 1964. Later, China launched its first man-made satellite, Dong Fang Hong I, to the earth orbit on April 24, 1970, becoming the fifth country in the world to independently launch satellite following the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the USA, France and Japan. The satellite floated around the earth, blaring(高声播放) the song Dong Fang Hong, which has the same name as the satellite.
As a forerunner leading the development of China's aerospace science and technology, Qian Xuesen also provided chances for young scientists. Wang Yongzhi, former chief designer of China's manned-space project, has benefited a lot from Qian Xuesen. ―He suggested that rocket of the second generation should be developed by our second generation scientists. This suggestion gave us chances to be general designers.‖ Recalling the experience working with Qian Xuesen, Sun Jiadong, general designer of China's lunar orbiter project, is very grateful. ―He put great expectation on us and trusted us a lot. Whenever we made mistakes, he seldom blamed us, but helped us to find out the reason so we could avoid it in the future.‖
Honored as Father of China's Missile and King of Rockets, Qian Xuesen never stopped his work on scientific research after he retired. He said he had no time to review the past, but looked forward to the future.
71. When did Qian xuesen begin to study in Massachusetts Institute of Technology?________ 【广东省2010届九校三次联考】【细节筛选】
A. In 1955. B. In 1935. C. In 1936. D. In 1934.

A. The former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the UK, France, China and Japan. B. The former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the USA, Japan, Canada and China. C. America, France, Japan, China and Australia.

〈5〉 Get a reward for every bug you bring to live in new science museum exhibit.
In a city with trillions of American cockroaches(蟑螂), the Houston Museum of Natural Science has agreed to pay a quarter per bug-up to 1,000-as it seeks to populate a new insect exhibit alongside its Cockrell Butterfly Center.
Nancy Greig, the museum‘s director insists the public payday for roaches isn‘t just a marketing ploy(炒作).
―Absolutely, this wasn‘t devised as a joke,‖ Greig said. ―We needed more roaches for the exhibit, so I sent this message out to everyone in the museum asking people to bring them in. Well, someone decided to tell the press, and all hell has broken loose.‖ ―But we really do need cockroaches.‖ ―One might be forgiven for never considering how to catch a live cockroach. But it‘s simple enough to fool them,‖ Greig said, ―and even easier to catch them.‖ American cockroaches are the most common kind in Texas, measuring up to 2 inches long and invading homes.
Despite their less-than-attractive reputation, cockroaches actually aren‘t that dirty. Greig even went so far as to call them ―fastidious‖ saying they don‘t enjoy rooting(用嘴拱食) in waste. They‘re only dirty if, say, they used a sewer(下水道)line to gain access into a home.

The roaches collected by the museum will become part of a display in a new exhibit that showcases insects such as cockroaches, dung beetles and termites.
There‘s more to like about roaches, too. They don‘t bite, and they don‘t carry diseases like a mosquito, so they‘re generally safe to handle. 56.For what does the museum pay for cockroaches? 【湖北省2010届第五次综合测试】【细节理解】
A.For a marketing ploy. B. It‘s devised to make fun. C.People really need them. D. For a new exhibit.
57.The underlined word ―fastidious‖ probably means extremely ________.【湖北省2010届第五次综合测试】【猜测词义】 A.clean
B.dirty
C.unpleasant D.fast
58.What do we know about American roaches? 【湖北省2010届第五次综合测试】【细节推理】
A.It‘s not easy for people in Houston to collect roaches. B.They all measure 2 inches and are often found in homes C.They don‘t bite and they are free of disease. D.We have reasons to like them.
59.Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage? 【湖北省2010届第五次综合测试】【归纳概括】 A.The Houston Museum of Natural Science B.A new exhibit
C.Quarters for cockroaches D.A cockroach is lovely
56【答案】D 【解析】【解析】考查细节理解。从文章的叙述可知,博物馆出钱购买蟑螂是为了一项新展览的需要。其他选项在文章中直接批驳了。
57【答案】A 【解析】【解析】考查猜测词义。第七段说,Greig甚至把它们称为 ―fastidious‖,它们不在肮脏的地方拱食,仅仅在进入居家的路程中从下水道经过时才弄脏了。由此判断,该词的含义与下文提到的dirty相反,因此选A,他认为蟑螂本来是很干净的动物,却被人们误认为很脏。
58【答案】D 【解析】【解析】考查推理判断。文章最后一段第一句说―蟑螂还有其可爱之处‖,接着提到蟑螂的可爱和安全方面,因此选D。B与文中up to inches矛盾, C项说―蟑螂没有疾病‖,这是文中未提及的内容。
59【答案】C 【解析】【解析】考查主题大意。本文介绍美国一家博物馆的新展览,他们向人们购买蟑螂,考虑新闻报道的时效性和标题的引人入胜,本文应该选C做标题:购买蟑螂的价格,以吸引读者继续阅读这篇新闻。 A显然错误。B项作为标题范围过大,本文只讲了腐蚀性昆虫展中的部分内容(收集的蟑螂)。C既体现了主体内容:收集蟑螂,又兼顾了新闻标题 的特点,适合作为标题。

When the musical sound rings you, you immediately reach for your pocket ready to have a chat. But although you probably use it all the time, have you ever stopped to think about the manners related to talking on the phone? If you haven‘t, here are some tips to guide you.
●Always give the person you are calling plenty of time to get to the phone before you hang up. If the person who answers is not the one you want,give your name and ask if you may speak to the person you want.
●Think about the time you call people. Try not to call too early in the morning(before about 9:00)or too late at night(after about 9:30). Also try not to call at mealtimes.
●If you go by plane to visit your relatives at Christmas, remember to follow airline instructions. Cell phones must be turned off as soon as the plane doors are closed and remain so until the doors open again on arrival.
●When face to face with someone, do not talk on the phone. It is rude to be on the phone when a waiter is trying to take your order in a restaurant, or when you are returning the shoes you have just been trying on in a shop. Finish any face-to-face business before taking a call. Continuing to use the phone while nodding to the person in front of you is quite impolite.
●When in a restaurant with your friends,keep phone conversations short. Make a call only if it is important. Practise speaking in a low voice. If no one looks your way, you‘ve got it.
●If you go to a theatre, a concert or a cinema, consider the other people around you. Check that your phone is ―off‖ before you enter. If you are expecting a very important call, put your phone on ―vibrate‖(振动)and run for the exit as soon as you feel it. If you forget both ―off‖ and ―vibrate‖ and your phone rings, don‘t answer it, turn it off straight away.
64. Which is true according to the passage above? 【江苏省宿迁2010届期末联考】【判断正误】
A. You may call people anytime as you like.
B. You may talk loudly on the phone at dinner in the restaurant. C. You may keep on talking on the phone while greeting somebody.
D. You may call people as soon as you get on the plane,but not after the doors are closed. 65. We may infer from these tips that__________.【江苏省宿迁2010届期末联考】【逻辑推理】
A. some people don‘t pay much attention to manners while making cell phone calls B. you may ask to leave a message unless the person you are calling is in C. calling people too early or too late in the morning is not polite
D. almost everyone has got a cell phone
66. What does the underlined sentence ―…you‘ve got it‖ mean in the passage? 【江苏省宿迁2010届期末联考】【猜测句意】 A. You have succeeded in making a call without disturbing others. B. You have made the phone call brief and interesting. C. You‘ve got the message you are waiting for. D. You have made a phone call secretly.

When you have a question about something, where do you go? For many people the answer is simple. They go online to a search engine like Google or Yahoo. But what about people in rural or underdeveloped areas who may have no way to get on the Internet? Luckily, Rose Shuman, a business and international development consultant in California, has found a way for them. Her amazing solution is ―Question Box‖.
Question Box is a service that provides answers -- free of charge -- for people who cannot search the Internet directly. They might not be able to read, or they simply have no access.
Question Box began two years ago in India. People use a metal call box with a push-to-talk button to connect to a live operator, as Rose Shuman explains, ―You just push a button, a big green button, and that will connect you directly to our operators who are sitting in front of computers, and speak your language. And you can ask them any sort of question you want, and they'll look it up in English or in Hindi, or whatever the main language is, and translate the answer right back for you.‖
The service is currently offered in two villages. The latest version of the box uses mobile phone technology and solar panels in case the electrical power fails. Rose Shuman says the aim was to make the box as easy as possible for users.
―Rather than try to bring a lot of infrastructure to them and expect them to learn how to use the Internet, the idea was to make a technology that even Grandma could use, figuring that Grandma could probably walk up to a box and push a button,‖ added Shuman.
In April, Question Box expanded to Uganda. Forty community workers with mobile phones connect villagers to call center operators in Kampala. The community workers go around telling people about the service. They wear T-shirts that say ―Ask Me.‖
But Internet service in Uganda proved slow and undependable. So Question Box teamed up with a local technology company to store information on a local server. That way, the researchers in Kampala can quickly search the database for answers when users ask about current events and many other subjects.

Rose Shuman continued, ―When was Mahatma Gandhi born and how long is the Nile River? What's the tallest mountain? The funniest one I think we got was, 'Did the pyramids ever move to another place?', which we found pretty funny. But we did look it up, and they haven't moved.‖ 68. According to the passage, ―Question Box‖ is a service intended to________.【湖南师大附中2010届四次月考】【细节推理】
A. help improve the living standard of the people in poor areas B. promote the computer technology
C. provide answers raised by the people who have no access to the Internet D. enrich the local people‘s life

I had studied Spanish for two and a half years and was always one of the best students in my class. But in my first week in Chile I was only able to communicate and needed one person to whom I could explain my shock. I couldn‘t speak the thoughts in my head and there were so many.
Most exchange students experience this like me. Culture shock presents itself in everything from increased aggression towards the people to lack of appetite (食欲)..I was required to overcome all difficulty.
As time passed, everything changed. I began to forget words in English and to dream in Spanish and love Chilean food. I got used to not depending on expensive things for fun. Fun in Chuquicamata was being with people. And I took math, physics, chemistry, biology, Spanish, art, and philosophy.

In such high – intensity work environment, with the perfect professional he worked for 26 years without any error.

Motherhood may make women smarter and may help prevent dementia(痴呆) in old age by bathing the brain in protective hormones(荷尔蒙) , U.S. researchers reported on Thursday.
Tests on rats show that those who raise two or more litters of pups do considerably better in tests of memory and skills than rats who have no babies, and their brains show changes that suggest they may be protected against diseases such as Alzheimer‘s(早老痴呆症). University of Richmond psychology professor Craig Kinsley believes his findings will translate into humans.
―Our research shows that the hormones of pregnancy(怀孕) are protecting the brain, including estrogen(雌激素), which we know has many neuroprotective (保护神经的) effects,‖ Kinsley said.
―It‘s rat data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals,‖ he added in a telephone interview. ―They go through pregnancy and hormonal changes.‖
Kinsley said he hoped public health officials and researchers will look to see if having had children protects a woman from Alzheimer‘s and other forms of age-related brain decline.
―When people think about pregnancy, they think about what happens to babies and the mother from the neck down,‖ said Kinsley, who presented his findings to the annual meeting of the Society of Neuroscience in Orlando, Florida.
―They do not realize that hormones are washing on the brain. If you look at female animals who have never gone through pregnancy, they act differently toward young. But if she goes through pregnancy, she will sacrifice her life for her infant—that is a great change in her behavior that showed in genetic changes to the brain.‖

My newly-rented small apartment was far away from the centre of London and it was becoming essential for me to find a job, so finally I spent a whole morning getting to town and putting my name down to be considered by London Transport for a job on the underground. They were looking for guards, not drivers. This suited me. I couldn‘t drive a car but thought that I could probably guard a train, and perhaps continue to write my poems between stations. The writers Keats and Chekhov had been doctors. T.S. Eliot had worked in a bank and Wallace Stevens for an

insurance company. I‘d be a subway guard. I could see myself being cheerful, useful, a good man in a crisis. Obviously I‘d be overqualified but I was willing to forget about that in return for a steady income and travel privileges — those being particularly welcome to someone living a long way from the city centre.
The next day I sat down, with almost a hundred other candidates, for the intelligence test. I must have done all right because after about half an hour‘s wait I was sent into another room for a psychological test. This time there were only about fifty candidates. The interviewer sat at a desk. Candidates were signaled forward to occupy the seat opposite him when the previous occupant had been dismissed, after a greater or shorter time. Obviously the long interviews were the more successful ones. Some of the interviews were as short as five minutes. Mine was the only one that lasted a minute and a half.
I can remember the questions now: ―Why did you leave your last job?‖ ―Why did you leave your job before that?‖ ―And the one before that?‖ I can‘t recall my answers, except that they were short at first and grew progressively shorter. His closing statement, I thought, revealed (揭示) a lack of sensitivity which helped to explain why as a psychologist, he had risen no higher than the underground railway. ―You‘ve failed the psychological test and we are unable to offer you a position.‖
Failing to get that job was my low point. Or so I thought, believing that the work was easy. Actually, such jobs — being a postman is another one I still desire — demand exactly the sort of elementary yet responsible awareness that the habitual dreamer is least qualified to give. But I was still far short of full self-understanding. I was also short of cash.

Mr. Smith is well known in Washington because of his many social blunders. He always likes to attend the various social functions because he wants to expand his circle of friends. Whenever he is invited, he goes, unless he is ill.
Recently he received an invitation to a fashionable banquet. Although he did not know the hostess, he accepted the invitation. He was secretly very pleased, because he felt that his reputation as a desirable guest was growing.
When he arrived at the banquet hall, he found that about one hundred people had been invited. He began to move around the hall. He spoke to other guests whether he knew them or not. He soon realized that he had never met any of the other people present, although they seemed to know each other.
At dinner he was seated beside a very dignified woman. The woman tried to be friendly even though she had never met Mr. Smith before. She spoke politely whenever he spoke to her. Between the first and the second course of the meal, she, turned to Mr. Smith and said, ―Do you see that gray-haired man at the end of the table? The one with glasses.‖ “Ah, yes. Who is he?‖
“He‘s the Secretary of the Interior!‖ she replied.
Mr. Smith said, ―So that‘s the secretary of the Interior! I‘ m afraid that I find very little to admire about him, although he is the Secretary.‖
The woman stiffened and did not reply. Mr. Smith continued in spite of her coldness. ―I really can‘t see how he received his appointment unless he is perhaps a relative of the President.‖
“It hardly matters whether you like the Secretary or not,‖ she said. ―He was chosen because the President thought he was the man for the job. If he does the job well, you should have no complaint.‖
“That‘s just it,‖ persisted Mr. Smith. ―No one does the things he does, unless he is a complete fool!‖
“Sir!‖ said the woman in all her dignity. ―Do you know who I am?‖ ―No,‖ replied Mr. Smith. “I am the Secretary‘s wife,‖ she said coldly. Mr. Smith was shocked, but he went on in spite of his embarrassment. ―Madam, do you know who I am?‖

Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. ―I was a clothes addict,‖ he jokes. ―I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled.‖ Today David wears casual clothes-khaki pants and sports shirt-to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. ―I‘m working harder than ever,‖ David says, ―and I need to feel comfortable.‖
More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work in the United States. The change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday (but only on Friday). This became known as ―dress-down Friday‖ or ―casual Friday‖. ―What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing.‖ said business consultant Maisly Jones.
Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it‘s easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code. ―A lot of young people don‘t want to dress up for work,‖ says the owner of a software company, ―so it‘s hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code.‖ Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress

金太阳新课标资源网 wx.jtyjy.com
improves employee morale. Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative impact on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. ―Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,‖ one person said. ―For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.‖

Advertising can be a service to the customer. This is true when advertisements give reliable information about the goods advertised. Such information is needed if the customer is to make a sensible choice when he buys. It is useful in that it lets him know of the kinds of goods in the shops. Printed advertisements do this job best. Customers can collect them and compare them. They can be taken along to shops and their claims can be checked against the actual goods in the

shops.
However, some advertisements are not very useful to the customer. Instead of helping him to sat-isfy his real needs, they set out to make him want things. They set out to create a need. These advertisements are cleverly done. The people who produce them understand our weaknesses. They set out to make us believe that what they advertise will make us cleverer, prettier and more handsome, if only we use it. Actually, it is our money they are after and we should be on guard. Some advertisements mislead customers by using part of the truth to suggest something false, and it is skillfully made to give that idea to the careless reader, listener or viewer.
At its best advertising can be useful to the customer. At its worst it can mislead him. Many newspapers check on the goods for which the advertisements made claims. Most newspapers are very careful about the small advertisements, which try to sell goods directly to the readers by post. Many newspapers print information about this on their small advertisement pages. Advertising has become a very big business, and good firms in it do all they can to make sure it is conducted with some attention to truth. This is a help to the customer. But the best way is for customers to be on the lookout.
56. It can be inferred from the passage that advertisements can be useful if they ________.【江西省上高二中、新钢中学2010届期末联考】【逻辑推理】 A. how a long list of the goods advertised
B. give true information about goods C. tell customers what to buy
D. appear on TV and in newspapers at the same time
67. Advertisements that play on our weaknesses make us ________.【江西省上高二中、新钢中学2010届期末联考】【细节推断】
A. desire things we do not need B. purchase the goods we need
C. attracted by them D. become loyal reader, listener or viewer 68. According to the text, which of the following is TRUE? 【江西省上高二中、新钢中学2010届期末联考】【归纳概括】 A. All advertising firms do not care to tell the truth about the goods they advertise. B. All advertising firms only care to make money, as advertising is a big business. C. Most advertising firms make sure that advertisements do not purposely cheat.

As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.
Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.
The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities, others lose heart at the first sign of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between \"flight or fight\" and in more primitive days the choices made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Since we can't remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.
60.People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because _____.【湖北省2010届第五次综合测试】【细节推理】
A.they regard working as their greatest enjoyment B.they believe that work is superior to relaxation
C.they are traveling fast all the time D.they are becoming busier with their work than ever before
61.According to the author, the most important character for a good manager is his _____.【湖北省2010届第五次综合测试】【细节推理】 A.strong will to hold out stress B.knowing the art of relaxation
C.high sense of responsibility
D.having control over performance
62.Which of the following statements is TRUE, according to the passage? 【湖北省2010届第五次综合测试】【细节判断】 A.We can find quite a few ways to avoid stress.
B.Stress is always harmful to people's health
C.It's easy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with work. D.Different people can bear different amount of stress.
63.In the last sentence of the passage, \"do so\" refers to _____.【湖北省2010届第五次综合测试】【猜测词义】
A.\"expose ourselves to stress\" B.\"find ways to deal with stress\"
C.\"remove stress from our lives\"

If you look for a book as a present for a child. You will be spoiled for choice even in a year when there is no new Harry Patten J.K Rowling‘s wizard is not alone: the past decade has been a harvest for good children‘s books ,which has set off a large quantity of films and in turn led to increased sales of classics such as The Lord of the Rings.
Yet despite that ,reading is increasingly unpopular among children .According to statistics, in 1997 23% said they didn‘t like reading at all . In 2003, 35% did . And around 6% of children leave primary school each year unable to read properly.
Maybe the decline is caused by the increasing availability of computer games. Maybe the books boom has affected only the top of the educational pile . Either way , Chancellor Cordon Brown plans to change things for the bottom of the class .In his pre-budget report , he announced the national project of Reading Recovery to help the children struggling most.
Reading Recovery is aimed at six-year-olds ,who receive four months of individual daily half-hour classes with a specially trained teacher . An evaluation earlier this year reported that children on the scheme made 20 months‘ progress in just one year, whereas similarly weak readers without special help made just five months‘ progress ,and so ended the year even further below the level expected for their age.
International research tends to find that when British children leave primary school they read well ,but read less often for fun than those elsewhere .Reading for fun matters because children who are keen on reading can expect lifelong pleasure and loving books is an excellent indicator of future educational success . According to the OECD, being a regular and enthusiastic reader is of great advantage.

A.the number of top students increased with the use of computers B.a decreasing number of children showed interest in reading C.a minority of primacy school children read properly D.a large percentage of children read regularly

【解析】这是一道推断题。根据第四段―An evaluation earlier this year reported that children on the scheme made 20 months‘ progress in just one year,whereas similarly weak readers without special help made just five months‘ progress‖可知参加读书恢复计划的孩子一年内取得了20个月的进步,而没有得到帮助的孩子只取得了5个月的。可以推断出参加计划的孩子阅读水平有明显提高。
49【答案】C
【解析】这是一道推断题。根据最后一段―Reading for fun matters because children who are keen on reading can expect lifelong pleasure and loving books is an excellent indicator of future educational success.‖可知以读书作为乐趣的孩子会对读书产生一生的爱好,爱好读书是教育成功的绝好指导者。可以推断出以读书为乐趣的孩子在教育上更容易成功。
50【答案】D
【解析】这是一道主旨题。本文介绍了目前孩子读书兴趣降低的现状,并给出了两种提供孩子阅读能力的尝试,一个是读书恢复计划指导孩子多读书,另一个是引导孩子为了兴趣读书,目的是介绍提高孩子阅读水平的方法。

Sports shoes that work out whether their owner has done enough exercise to warrant time in front
第 49 页 共 56 页 金太阳新课标资源网

金太阳新课标资源网 wx.jtyjy.com
of the television have been devised in the UK.
The shoes — named Square Eyes — contain an electronic pressure sensor and a tiny computer chip to record how many steps the wearer has taken in a day. A wireless transmitter(传话器) passes the information to a receiver connected to a television, and this decides how much evening viewing time the wearer deserves, based on the day‘s efforts.
The design was inspired by a desire to fight against the rapidly ballooning waistlines among British teenagers, says Gillian Swan, who developed Square Eyes as a final year design project at Brunel University to London, UK. ―We looked at current issues and childhood overweight really stood out,‖ she says. ―And I wanted to tackle that with my design.‖
Once a child has used up their daily allowance gained through exercise, the television automatically switches off. And further time in front of the TV can only be earned through more steps.
Swan calculated how exercise should translate to television time using the recommended daily amounts of both. Health experts suggest that a child take 12,000 steps each day and watch no more than two hours of television. So, every 100 steps recorded by the Square Eyes shoes equals precisely one minute of TV time.
Existing pedometers (计步器) normally clip onto a belt or slip into a pocket and keep count of steps by measuring sudden movement. Swan says these can be easily tricked into recording steps through shaking. But her shoe has been built to be harder for lazy teenagers to cheat. ―It is possible, but it would be a lot of effort,‖ she says. ―That was one of my main design considerations.‖
51.According to Swan, the purpose of her design project is to ________. 【广东省中山市实验高中2010届高三上学期12月月考】【细节推断】 A.keep a record of the steps of the wearer B.deal with overweight among teenagers
C.enable children to resist the temptation of TV

A.They regulate a child‘s evening TV viewing time. B.They determine a child‘s daily pocket money. C.They have raised the hot issue of overweight.

C.The proper amount of daily exercise and TV time. D.The way of changing steps into TV watching time.

A sobbing little girl stood near a small church from which she had been turned away because it ―was too crowded.‖ ―I can‘t go to Sunday School,‖ she sobbed to the pastor (牧师) as he walked by.Seeing her shabby appearance, the pastor guessed the reason, and, taking her by the hand, took her inside and found a place for her in the Sunday School class.The child was so touched that she went to bed that night thinking of the children who have no place to worship Jesus.
Some years later, this child lay dead in one of the poor buildings and the parents called for the kindhearted pastor, who had befriended their daughter, to handle the final arrangements.As her poor little body was being moved, a worn purse was found which seemed to have been picked up from some trash dump.Inside was found 57 cents and a note scribbled in childish handwriting which read, ―This is to help build the little church bigger so more children can go to Sunday School.‖
For two years she had saved for this offering of love.When the pastor tearfully read that note, he knew instantly what he would do.Carrying this note, he told people the story of her unselfish love and devotion.
A newspaper learned of the story and published it.It was read by a Realtor who offered them a parcel of land worth many thousands.When told that the church could not pay so much, he offered it for 57 cents.

When next year‘s crop of high-school graduates arrive at Oxford University in the fall of 2009, they‘ll be joined by a new face: Andrew Hamilton, the 55-year-old provost(教务长) of Yale,
第 52 页 共 56 页 金太阳新课标资源网
wx.jtyjy.com
金太阳新课标资源网 wx.jtyjy.com
who’ll become Oxford’s vice-chancellor——a position equal to university president in America.
Hamilton isn‘t the only educator crossing the Atlantic. Schools in France, Egypt, Singapore, etc. have also recently made top-level hires from abroad. Higher education has become a big and competitive business nowadays, and like so many businesses, it‘s gone global. Yet the talent flow isn‘t universal. High-level personnel(人员) tend to head in only one direction: outward from America.
The chief reason is that American schools don‘t tend to seriously consider looking abroad. For example, when the board of the University of Colorado searched for a new president, it wanted a leader familiar with the state government, a major source of the university‘s budget. ―We didn‘t do any global consideration,‖ says Patricia Hayes, the board‘s chair. The board finally picked Bruce Benson, a 69-year-old Colorado businessman and political activist(活动家) who is likely to do well in the main task of modern university presidents: fund-raising. Fund-raising is a particularlly American thing, since U.S. schools rely heavily on donations. The fund-raising ability is largely a product of experience and necessity.
Many European universities, meanwhile, are still mostly dependent on government funding. But government support has failed to keep pace with rising student numbers. The decline in government support has made fund-raising an increasingly necessary ability among administrators (管理人员), and has hiring committees hungry for Americans.
In the past few years, well-known schools around the world have joined the trend. In 2003, when Cambridge University appointed Alison Richard, another former Yale provost, as its vice-chancellor, the university publicly stressed that in her previous job she had overseen ―a major strengthening of Yale‘s financial position.‖
Of course, fund-raising isn‘t the only skill outsiders offer. The globalization of education means more universities will be seeking heads with international experience of some kind to promote international programs and attract a global student body. Foreigners can offer a fresh perspective(视角) on established practices.
56.What is the current trend in higher education discussed in the passage? 【湖南省长沙市一中·雅礼中学2010届高三3月月考联考】【细节推理】 A.Institution worldwide are hiring administrators from the US. B.A lot of activists are being hired as administrators
C. American universities are enrolling more international students.
D. University presidents are paying more attention to funding-raising.
57. What is the chief consideration of American universities when hiring top-level administrators? 【湖南省长沙市一中·雅礼中学2010届高三3月月考联考】【细节推理】 A. The political correctness. B. Their ability to raise funds. C. Their fame in academic circles. D. Their administrative experience.
58. What do we learn about European universities from the passage? 【湖南省长沙市一中·雅礼中学2010届高三3月月考联考】【细节筛选】 A. The tuitions(学费) they charge h ave been rising considerably. B. Their operation is under strict government control. C. They are strengthening their position by globalization. D. Most of their money comes from the government.

Home to a variety of animals found nowhere else on the planet, Madagascar is a must-go destination for anyone interested in the natural world. Lemurs(狐猴) and baobab trees account for just some of the unique flora(植物群) and fauna(动物群) entrapped on this wonderful island. 2. America: St John (US Virgin Islands)
Though it‘s the smallest of the US Virgin Islands, St John has a remarkably varied landscape. Virgin Islands National Park makes up two-thirds of its landmass, where visitors can hike in deep ravines(山谷), over tropical mountains and across arid coastal areas. Don‘t overlook the beaches and coral reefs – it‘s a Caribbean island. 3. Europe:Iceland
As one might expect from a country whose name is ―ice‖, Iceland‘s landscape is rugged(崎岖不平的)and harsh(粗糙的). Take a hike past lava fields, glaciers and waterfalls and marvel at the wildlife (puffins) and natural wonders (hot springs and geysers) akin to this barren landscape. Visit between fall and spring to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights.
