Sometimes giving someone a helping hand is just simple．But sometimes it works like a 36 that opens a door to a whole new world of understanding．

Living in a small all-white 　37　 in the Midwest, my family and I were 38　 that we were safe from the race riots （暴乱） in some larger cities．That 　39　 when I began working at a bank in a larger city nearby．My family　 40　 gave me advice on whom to avoid, what situation to stay away, and how to 　41　 myself．

On a snowy　 42　 after work, I guided my second-hand car out onto the street and knew 　43 I didn't have to stop, it would keep running．The battery needed replacing．

However, as I expected the car choked and died at a red light．Fortunately, to my 　44 ，I saw a pair of headlights coming up．But 　45　 three young black men jumped out of the car, I could hardly　 46 - fear filled me．

The driver came to my windows and asked if I needed help．I 　47 for a moment and then nodded．The fellows crowded around at once and　 43__ working．As one of them connected the two engines by cables, my nerve （神经） jumped with so much electricity I think I could have charged the 49 and brought it back to life．But thankfully they 50 completed the project．

I pulled out a few　 51 from the purse, "It's all I have but it's yours, I appreciate the help．Thank you．"

The driver must have seen the 52　 still in my eyes because he smiled, seeming to be 53 by my panic, and then waved his hand, "You　 54　 it．Just glad to help．"

This experience taught me that I should never simply 　55 anyone according to their skin color or race or wealth．

Travel to China is a lifetime experience and a better way to understand China. Only when you are there, you may start to appreciate and understand what a difference to live in a nation with a population of 1.3 billion.?

China offers variety choices for visitors. If you are interested in Chinese history, Chinese culture and Chinese scenery, your trip will be very fulfilled and very interesting. If you want to enjoy a peaceful sunshine beach holiday, there are plenty of tourist areas along the coastal line, which have unspoiled beaches and luxury hotels for visitors. In Hainan Island, the beautiful Sanya beaches are opened the whole year around and there is no winter in this island. If you want excitements and nightlife, stay in big cities. There are many places every night for international gathering. If you are adventurers, go to remote areas to watch wild life or visit minorities(少数民族) to see how they live in the hillsides or desert. If you are sporty, take a cycle trip along the countryside, enjoy the rural(田园的) life and meet with Chinese people long the route.?

You may have heard or read a lot about China from books, newspapers, magazines and TV programs. Some of them are true but most of them are out of date, incorrect or even false. China is different from many of your previous experiences and may shock you in many ways. This is what China is!

This country is changing and progressing every day. Yet it is still a developing country. After the economic reform, most of the developments concentrate in major cities and remote areas(边远地区) are still very backward. China is a very populated nation and people have to cope with the crowded environment. Foreign visitors may not get used to the mentality of the people and sometimes become frustrated with the situation, which they never experienced before. Basically Chinese are reserve, peaceful and nice. They are very polite too but in their own way. When a foreigner is willing to take a more positive attitude to recognize the difference, the trip will become worthwhile or you may ruin your trip completely by unreasonable expectation and misjudgment of the people in general.

According to the passage, if you go to China, you can enjoy all but _______.

A. mountain climbing B. sunshine beach

C. They don't think there are good sceneries in China.?

D. Chinese are reserve.

In this modern world, we rush around all day, doing things, talking, sending and reading messages. We are always on, always connected, always thinking, always talking. There is no 36 for stillness.

And when we are 37 to be still because we’re in line for something, or waiting at a doctor’s appointment, or on a bus or train, we often 38 something to do. Some will play with mobile devices, others will read something. Being still isn’t something we’re 39 .

This comes at a 40 : we lose that time for 41 , for observing and listening. We lose peace.

And 42 yet: sometimes too much action is worse than no action at all. You can run around crazily, but get 43 done.

Take a moment to think about 44 you spend your days. Are you constantly rushing around? Are you constantly reading and answering 45 or checking on the news and the latest stream of information? Are you always 46 through your schedule?

Is this how you want to spend your 47 ? If so, peace be with you. If not, take a moment to be 48 . Don’t think about what you have to do, or what you’ve done already. 49 be in the moment.

Then after a minute or two of doing that, consider your life, and how you’d 50 it to be. See your life with less movement, less doing, less rushing. See it with more stillness, more consideration, more 51 .

Then be that vision.

It’s pretty simple: all you have to do is sit still for a little bit each day. 52 you’ve gotten used to that, try doing less each day. Breathe when you feel yourself moving too 53 . Slow down. Find happiness now, in this moment, instead of 54 for it.

55 the stillness. It’s a treasure, and it’s available to us, always.

A. place B. chance C. freedom D. time

A. forced B. ordered C. invited D. told

A. have B. find C. buy D. get

When it comes to hard, noisy traveling, we’ve found that sometimes we’d rather read about it than actually go. Here are some bestsellers for armchair travelers.

The Station by Robert Byron. In 1928, the 22-year-old man made a journey to Mount Athos, resulting in one of the best travel books ever written, matched only by Byron’s own, much more famous The Road to Osciana.

In Darkest Africa by Henry Monton Stanley. It’s about his great efforts to save an unlucky German doctor Eduard Schnitzer, who had no desire to be rescued at all.

A Traveler’s Alphabet: Partial Memoirs by Sir Steven Runciman. A to Z and around the world. He provides priceless information of long-gone princesses, priests, and places.

South: A Memoir of the Endurance Voyage by Sir Ernest Shackleton. As the planet started the global war, Shackleton and his brave group of explorers made an unsuccessful but heroic journey to cross Antarctica from 1914 to 1917.

The Michelin Red Guide: France 2005 Reading through this final listing of all the nice hotels and wonderful restaurants in France is better than going there, listening to Chirac talk about the poisonous American culture, and spending the price of this book for a tiny cup of tea and a cookie the size of your thumb.

The Past Is a Foreign Country by David Lowenthal. This great book of an armchair exploration tells us what has happened in the past and shows the relationship between us and the past travelers.

This passage is written .

which of the books has a very low price according to the passage?

What can we learn from the passage?

Today, robots come in all shapes and sizes. They can’t complain, even if the work is heavy and dangerous. And they can work or play all day without getting bored. Unlike a human’s arms, a robot’s joints will never get stiff (僵硬的). The end of the arm can be fitted with devices (装置) to perform different tasks. These could be a welding (焊接) point, suction cups (吸附杯) or gripping fingers (钳形指) for lifting and moving objects. Such an arm of these computer controlled industrial robots can work 24 hours a day.

Robopets (机器人宠物) are high-tech robots programmed to play. They can communicate with their owners and recognize their voices. Each one will develop a different “personality”. They can be a lot of fun to play with, but these robots can also be helpful to people who are sick and can’t look after a real animal. Many doctors believe that when a person is happy and laughing, their body recovers faster. A robopet might be just what the doctor ordered.

NeCoRo is a robot cat that has been developed to be more than a toy. The robot uses sensors (传感器) that can detect movement and sound. It can even store helpful information in its memory. Its behaviour changes over time, just like a real pet.

60. From Paragraph 1 we learn that ________.

A. a human’s arms never get stiff

B. robots sometimes get bored just as humans do

C. robots can do some work which humans can’t

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

A. A robot never says “NO” to the dangerous work.

B. A robot can “remember” useful information.

C. NeCoRo is a robot dog.

D. NeCoRo’s behaviour changes over time.

63. What does the underlined word “detect” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. Recognize. B. Create. C. Store. D. Destroy.

Dear Expert:

I was asked to retrieve my 14-year-old daughter from a five-day camping trip.She was suffering from such severe separation anxiety,her teacher thought she should go home.She hadn’t eaten anything and had refused to participate in any activities.The thing is my daughter is extremely bright and has many friends;she organized a few friends into a band,and it belongs to several school clubs.She’s just always had an extreme fear of being away from home.I don’t want her to miss out on other trips.

Yours truly,

Jonathan

Dear Jonathan:

Sometimes kids can push through homesickness,but in other instances they become hurt mentally and develop greater anxiety around outings,which can worsen and prolong(延长) the problem.Separation anxiety can be the result of many complex interactions some genetic(遗传的) and some learned. People with high anxiety tend to be fearful and worried, ever when the sense of threat is minimum（最低程度）.Lots of talented,creative and successful people are exceedingly anxious.

I believe your daughter is bright,active and popular,but simply can’t do well outside her home base.My suggestion is to take things in small steps,so your daughter can experience success,and always have a fallback(退却) plan if she needs it.For instance,she can plan an overnight with a friend,but assure her it’s no big deal to pick her up at midnight if she changes her mind. What’s important is to recognize the fear,and make plans to deal with whatever may cause distress.In other words,don’t try to talk your daughter out of her fears,equip her to master them.This way she’ll eventually gain the confidence to go on further trips.
