10.Almost every day I hear a friend-or a patient-talk about being"addicted"to something:chocolate,exercise,email,a TV show.Are these really addictions?No,if you follow the classic definition of addiction.Why?Let me explain:Addiction means being psychologically and physically dependent on something.However,a compulsion is just a strong desire to do something,which you find difficult to control.Though it can be serious,yet you won't get physically ill when you quit it.
Take one of my patients Kate,who often spoke of her shoe addiction,as an example.She said she had many more shoes than she could use or afford,and she found it nearly impossible to pass up a pair that caught her eye.When she was stressed out,she bought shoes.When she felt sad,she bought shoes.If Kate forced herself not to buy shoes for a week or two,she didn't get physically ill.But she was rarely able to resist shoe shopping for much longer than that.
Many different causes are behind the phenomena.First of all,we think there is a genetic component,since compulsive behaviors seem to happen again in families.An imbalance of chemicals in the brain called neurotransmitters (神经介质) may also be to blame.In addition,compulsions often go hand in hand with anxiety and depression.
 How do you know when it has crossed the line?Ask yourself these questions:Are you busy planning and doing the behavior?For example,are you having trouble concentrating on work because you're spending time shopping online?Is the behavior negatively affecting one or more areas of your life?Have you tried your best to stop the behavior but couldn't?If your answers are"yes",you may be struggling with a compulsive behavior and need some help.
When you find yourself having a compulsive behavior,you should start by admitting that you have a problem and thinking about what is driving the behavior.And then try to interrupt or at least postpone the behavior.Changing the way you do it is also a good idea.For example,if you can't stop eating sweets every day,try having an apple every time you want that candy bar.Finally,if you feel you need more help,consider seeing a therapist (治疗专家),who will give you tools to change the actual behavior.

5.Throughout history,gold has been a sign of purity,beauty and power.Calling something"golden"means it has great quality and value.For example,the"golden rule"is possibly the world's most widespread moral rule.It says people should treat others the way they themselves would like to be treated.Every major religion has its own version of this idea.
The"golden ratio(比例)"is found in art,architecture and nature.It describes a rectangle with a length about one and one-half times its width.Objects using this ratio in their design seem to please the eye more than others.
Philosophers have their own golden idea.The"golden mean"says moderation(自我节制) in all things is the best way to live one's life.It is an idea linked to the Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle.Similar thoughts exist in Buddhism and Confucianism.(哲学思想)
Ancient Greek myths told of a time long ago when people lived in peace and happiness.Poets called it the"Golden Age".A golden age now describes a historical period of great artistic,scientific or economic progress.
You may have heard the proverb"silence is golden".This means silence is of great value.It is sometimes better to say nothing than to speak.
In 1937,American playwright Clifford Odets wrote a play called"The Golden Boy."This expression describes a young man who has many good qualities and a bright future.You might tell someone"you are golden"when that person does something very well.
Maybe you like old songs from the nineteen fifties or sixties that are still well known and popular today.These are called"golden oldies".
Today,most older people look forward to reaching their"golden years".This is when hard-working people can retire to a life of ease and satisfaction.

6.Homework is a major part of going to school:It's your teachers'way of evaluating how much you understand what's going on in class.(36)A Luckily,you can do a few things to make homework less burden.
Be sure you understand the homework.
Write your homework down in your notebook or day planner if you need to.(37)E It's much easier to take a minute to ask the teacher during or after class than to struggle to remember later that night!
Use any extra time in school.
Many schools have study halls that are specifically designed to allow students to study.It's tempting(诱惑人的) to hang out with friends during study periods or unstructured (松散的) time.(38)D
Take a break.
(39)G So take some breaks while doing your homework.Sitting for too long without stretching or relaxing will make you less productive than if you stop every so often.Taking a 15-minute break every hour is a good idea for most people.
(40)C
If you don't finish your homework during school,think about how much you have left and what else is going on that day,and then budget your time.Most high-school students have between 1and 3hours of homework a night.If it's a heavy homework day and it seems like you've got an assignment in every subject but gym and lunch,you'll need to devote more time to homework.It's a good idea to come up with some kind of homework schedule,especially if you are involved in sports or activities or have an after-school job.
A.And it helps digest important concepts.
B.Once your homework is done,you can check over it if you have extra time.
C.Plan yourself.
D.But the more work you can get done in school,the less you'll have to do that night.
E.Don't be afraid to ask questions about what's expected in your homework.
F.Settle down to homework.
G.Most people's attention spans (跨度) aren't very long.
3.Every year there is a Spring Festival in China.Usually it is held in January or February.Of all our festivals,the Spring Festival is the most important and grandest.Old people often say that everything must be new and clean for the Spring Festival celebrations so that the New Year will bring happiness and good luck.(36)D Every family will put up some New Year pictures.Parents buy new clothes for their children and children may also buy presents for their parents.We also buy pork,beef,chicken,fruit and many other things.
(37)A On the festival eve,all the family members come back to their hometown.No matter how far away from home a person is,he/she will always try to get home in time for this big dinner.
(38)C  It means"come together".In the dumplings we usually put some coins,so when we enjoy dinner we will get money-meaning we'll be rich in the new year.We also give each other the best wishes for the coming year.We sing,dance,play cards or watch the Spring Festival Gala Evening on TV.
On the first day of the holiday,we usually stay at home.We get up fairly early and,first thing,exchange New Year greetings.(39)Fthey can get some pocket money from their relatives.And then we shot off firecrackers and fireworks.We enjoy ourselves very much.
On the second and the third days,we go visiting relatives and friends.We sit around chatting and eating sweets and New Year Cakes and so on.Each family prepares something special.Sometimes we would see some lion and dragon dancing.
(40)E.The 15th night of the first moon in called the Lantern Festival.This isthe day when we young people go out to enjoy ourselves,and sometimes we dance folk dances far into the night.
A.The celebration begins on the eve of the lunar New Year.
B.What is your new year festival like?
C.We often make a special kind of food called"dumplings".

15."Happy New Year!"Everyone will greet each other with these words as they meet each other on New Year's Day.But it wasn't always January 1 that marked the New Year.
    At least 4,000 years ago,the anci ent Egyptians and Babylonians marked the changing of the year.In Egypt,the year started when the Nile River flooded,enriching farmers'fields.This happened at the end of September.
    The Babylonians held a festival in the spring,on March 23,to kick off the next farming cycle.The Babylonian celebration lasted for 11 days.
    The date January 1 wa s picked by the Roman Emperor Julius Caesar as the change of the year when he established his own calendar in 46 BC.The month of January originates from the Roman god,Janus.He is pictured with two heads.One head looks forward and the other back.They represent a break between the old and new.The new calendar was in time with the sun and it has been used until the present day.
    In Vietnam,the New Year holiday happens in February.They buy fresh flowers and a peach blossom to put in their house,following the Vietnamese custom.
Thailand has its specific New Year's date; it's different from the normal calendar.The Thai New Year is celebrated on April 13.On this day,Thai people play with water,throwing it on each other.It is intended to bring good luck during the New Year ahead.
    In China,the more favorable New Year is usually celebrated in February according to lunar calendar (阴历).On New Year's Eve,all family members sit together at table,enjoying lots of auspicious foods such as dumplings,chicken to bring good luck.

2.TOKYO,Oct.12 (Xinhua)--The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has downgraded the forecast for global economic growth for 2012to 3.3percent before the IMF-World Bank 2012annual meetings.The IMF called on all players to cooperate closely to improve the global economy as the global economy recovered more slowly than the IMF's forecast in April due to many uncertainties.
"In advanced countries,growth is now too low to make a substantial dent in unemployment,and in major emerging countries,growth which had been strong earlier has also decreased."said the IMF Chief Economist Olivier Blanchard at the press conference.
Good effects have been observed with right action taken by some central banks in the euro area,and IMF received the good signals and considered them a good opportunity to seize as many uncertainties,in every corner of the world,preventing the decision makers from investing,creating jobs and developing values.The IMF suggested if the measures continued working effectively,there is reason to believe the most difficult time for Europe will pass soon,the recovery will begin in 2013.
Looking into the future,IMF suggested there are four key policies for all members to do to make the economy keep going forward.
Firstly,continue to complete the financial sector reform contributing to the safety of the financial sector,as the safety has not improved much yet than five years ago.And then,countries should deal with the legacy(遗留) of high debt,especially in the advanced economies,which have extremely high level.Policy makers also need to expand the employment on creating the condition for economic growth,because the jobless rate among young people is unacceptable.Finally,all members of IMF should face the global unbalance,which is the topic that has been talked about for a long time.
Christine Lagarde,IMF Managing Director,said the annual meetings of IMF could provide a broad platform for players,both new ones from the emerging market and traditional ones from the advanced market,and cooperation is the thing most needed,because the global economy is a cooperative game.

4.All members should face the topic of global unbalance.
(90)ConclusionThe annual meetings of IMF could provide a platform for all players where cooperation is most needed in improving the global economy.
19.I have to travel every day from Turner Road to the airport.Two buses travel along this route:No.49and No.16.However,by the time No.16reaches Turner Road,it is always full.(36)E
The timetable states that there are buses from Turner Road to the airport every ten minutes.(37)F The instructions state that if there are empty seats on a bus,the bus must stop at every stop where people are waiting.(38)G
The instructions state that no bus may cany more than 40seated passengers and 20standing passengers.Yesterday,I was the first to get off the bus when it reached the airport.(39)A There were 129of them.
Clearly printed on the back of every bus is a sign that says"Maximumspeed:50mph."(40)DSaturday morning a No,49bus traveled the distance in ten fninutes-at an average speed   of 60mph.At times it must have done at least 80or even 90mph.
It is clear that our bus companies have neither respect for the instructions nor consideration for their passengers.Can nothing be done about this?

A.I counted the other passengers as they got off.
B.Is there anything we can do to change this?
C.The problem is that we have to pay more for our trip.
D.The distance from Turner Road to the airport is 10miles.
E.I have to wait for No.49which sometimes has empty seats.
F.If this is so,why do I have to wait half an hour for a bus nearly every day?
G.Why is it that half-empty buses go straight past me when I am standing at the bus stop?
20.Many years ago my student asked me the question,"Mrs.Kindred,why do you teach?"Without taking time to reflect,I answered,"Because someday I might say something that might make a difference in someone's life."Even though I was sincere,that wasn't a very good answer and my student didn't let it slide.
"Let me get this straight,"he said,"You went to college for four years so you could come here every day because you have the hope that someday you might say something that will influence someone?"He shook his head as if I were crazy and walked away looking confused.I'm one of those people who look back and wish they had said something smart or witty,or swift.
Even though that particular student might no longer wonder why I teach,there are days when I wonder.On those days,I remind myself of the real reasons I teach:
It's in my blood.My mother was my most influential teacher,and she was a 6th grade reading teacher until her death in 1990.She instilled(逐渐灌输) in me a love of reading and the knowledge that education opens doors.
Teaching is a way to make a difference.If you throw a stone in a pond the ripples go on and on until they reach the shore.You can't have ripples without a"stone."Good teachers throw stones that make a positive difference,and that's what I try to do.
I genuinely love teenagers.
I want to share with others what I know and what I have learned through the years.Life is full of ups and downs,and if I can help students avoid some potholes on the road of life,I want to do so.If they'll allow me to celebrate their victories with them,I want to do too.
Teaching isn't for everyone,but I know I made the right career choice.

21.Why did the student continue to ask the question about the writer's being a teacher?A
A.Because he thought her answer was unbelievable.
B.Because the writer was insincere.
C.Because the student was naughty.
D.Because the answer was difficult to understand.
22.What do you think of the writer?B
A.Stupid.          B.Honest.
C.Conservative.    D.Polite.
23.According to the text,which of the following is NOT true?D
A.The writer's mother has the greatest influence on her.
B.The writer's answer made the student confused.
C.In the writer's opinion,some people in the world are unfit to teach.
D.The writer annoyed the student who asked the question.
24.What's the main idea of the text?D
A.A student's silly question.
B.A good teacher who likes students.
C.A confused student.
D.The reason why I teach.
