1．You feel happiest when you create a healthy balance between giving and receiving．If you give and give without making time to fill your own needs，then it's likely you will burn out，or feel upset．When you take and take without giving anything back，you never feel fulfilled，so you are always searching for ways to fill the void in your life．
The way to create a healthy balance between giving and receiving is to know and then live by your values．I break values up into two groups which I call being and having values．Your being values are the character traits of the ideal person you would like to be．I suggest to my clients that they choose three being values that they are willing to make a commitment to live by．An example of some being values are：kind，loving，generous，inspirational，peaceful，wise and even powerful．By acting on these values you give to others through your actions and you inspire others by being a positive role model．Mastering being these character traits becomes your life purpose．
Your having values are the feelings you need to create in order to be happy．These could be companionship，achievement，support，being valued or financial security．This is what you receive．You take responsibility for filling your own needs by taking steps to create these feelings and conditions in your life．
When you make a commitment to live by your being values，it becomes easier to make conscious choices rather than reactionary ones．If your usual pattern is to talk about your problems，you could choose to think and act like a calm person．A calm person might go for a walk，meditate（沉思），or set a time limit before responding．If your usual pattern is to worry，you could choose to act like a responsible or wise person．In other words，you would act like the person you choose to be-this is the key to personal power．
When you choose to act on your values，you not only feel good about yourself，you reinforce（加强）your chosen beliefs．Over time acting in this way changes how you see the world，and in turn the way other people think of you．

60．The main purpose of this passage is toC．
A．persuade the readers to make a commitment
B．explain to the readers what personal values are
C．inform the readers how to be truly happy
D．instruct the readers how to make wise choices
61．According to the text，living by your being values，you wouldB．
A．gain a lot of power B．form positive personality
C．seek all human virtues D．fill your own needs
62．The underlined word"void"in Paragraph 1meansA．
A．a feeling of emptiness    B．an absence of one's mind
C．a break of continuity     D．a state of confusion
63．What can be inferred from the text？B
A．Having values are better than being values．
B．A calm person does not choose to complain．
C．The way other people think of you decides who you are．
D．A responsible person does not care about financial security．

分析 当你在给予与接受之间建立一个健康的平衡时是你觉得最幸福的时候．如果你只是给予，没有时间来满足自己的需要，那么你就很可能会殆尽，或感到不安．当你总是接受而不付出，你永远不会感到满足，所以你总是在寻找填补你生活中的空虚的方法．
    付出与接受之间建立一个健康的平衡的方式是知道并坚持自己的价值观．我将价值观分成两种，自身价值和有价值．自身价值是你想成为的人．我建议我的客户去选择三种他们想过的生活，比如：善良、爱、慷慨、励志、和平、智慧和更强大．通过你的行动和你作为一个积极的榜样来激励他人．掌握这些性格特征成为你的人生目标．
    有价值是指你为了快乐而去创建的感觉，这可能是友谊、成就、支持、被重视或金融安全．这是你所接受到的，你需要采取行动来创建这些感觉和利用你生活中的条件填充自己的需要．
    当你靠你的自身价值观做出一个承诺，就很容易做出有意识的选择而不是反动的．如果你的通常模式是谈论你的问题，你可以选择思想和行为像一个冷静的人，冷静的人可能会去散步，沉思，或者设置一个时间限制．如果你通常的模式是担心，你可以选择做一个负责任的、有智慧的人．换句话说，你会像你选择成为的人那样行动，这是能力法则的关键．
    当你选择对你的价值，你不仅对自己感觉良好，你强化了你选择的信仰．随着时间的推移，不仅你如何看待这个世界的方式变化了，其他人看待你的方式也在改变．

9．Not for the first time，Paul Mathis wants us to change．But this time he isn't trying to get us to go vegetarian，or dine only on locally grown ingredients．This time he's trying to get us to type differently．
Paul Mathis，a restaurateur from Melbourne who owns a string of dining establishments，has designed the letter"?"-representing the word"the"．Now he is pushing Apple to allow him to promote his app，which features the new character，in its iTunes store．
   In a move to branch out of the food business，Paul has invested AUS $38，000 （£23，500）in the new app，but has so far been rejected by Apple．He is hoping he can change their mind，pointing out that reducing the word"the"-the most used word in the English language-to one character would be helpful for Twitter and swift typing．
"Is this important？"he said，in an interview with The Sydney Morning Herald．"No．Is this going to change the world？Not really．But is it something that might be useful for people？I think so，because it can save people lots of time on keyboard．"
"The word‘and'is only the fifth-most used word in English and it has its own symbol-the ampersand‘&'，"said Mr．Mathis．"Isn't it time we gave the same respect to‘the'？"
The top five most commonly used words in the English language are said to be：the，be，to，of，and"and"．The ampersand"&"has at times been used as the 27th letter of the English alphabet．
Paul has developed the typography-effectively an upper-case"T"and a lower-case"h"bunched together so they share the upright stem-and an app that puts it in everyone's hand by allowing users to download an entirely new electronic keyboard complete not just with his symbol but also a row of keys of 15 most frequently typed words．
So far，though，the take-up has been minimal．But that might change if he can get his innovation into Apple's app store．The problem is，the Californian tech giant has so far resisted his advances．But who knows-maybe in 500 years'time people will be amazed that there was a time when we didn't use‘?'．
（Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS）

16．From a very early age，some children exhibit better
self-control than others．Now，a new study that began with about 1，000 children in New Zealand has tracked how a child's low self-control can predict poor health，money troubles and even a criminal record in their adult years．
Researchers have been studying this group of children for decades now．They observed the level of self-control the youngsters displayed．Parents，teachers，even the kids themselves，scored the youngsters on measures like"acting before thinking"and"Persistence in reaching goals．"
The study led  by Moffitt of Duke University and colleagues followed 1，000 children from birth to age 32 in Dunedin，New Zealand．
"The children who had the lowest self-control when they were age three to ten，later on had the most health problems in their 30s，"Moffitt said，"and they had the worst financial situation．They were more likely to have a criminal record and to be raising a child as a single parent on a very low income．"Moffitt explained that self-control problems were widely observed，and weren't just a feature of a small group of misbehaving kids．
Moffitt said it's still unclear why some children have better self-control than others，though she said other researchers have found that it's mostly a learned behavior，with relatively little genetic influence．But good self-control can be set to run in familles because children with good self-control are more likely to grow up to be healthy and prosperous parents．But the good news，Moffitt said，is that self-control can be taught by parents，and through school curricula that have been shown to be effective．

6．With more and more cars on the road，traffic jams are inevitable． Traffic jams can lead to increased accidents as there are more cars，with more people trying to get to their destination，all the while getting worse．Although it's impossible to avoid traffic jams altogether，there are some tips you can follow to reduce the amount of time on the road．
Check for traffic jams before you leave．You can listen to the radio for traffic news，or check on the Internet to get up-to-minute information on traffic．If the route you want to take is heavy with traffic，you can choose another．
Look for a different route all the time．Most traffic jams happen on busy roads．Using country roads could see you avoiding a lot of traffic．Although the distance you may have to travel is further，it can work out quicker．
Set your car radio to receive traffic bulletins． Many new car stereo systems （汽车音响系 统） are equipped with a radio system by which you can hear the traffic channel．This way you can get the latest traffic information and change your journey if necessary．
__________ Most traffic jams usually occur during rush hour，so try to avoid this time period if possible．Some jobs offer flexible working hours so that you can travel to work outside of rush hour．Some jobs even allow you to work at home so as to avoid moving altogether．Ask your manager to see what you can do if traffic is a problem for you．
Use public transport alternatives where available．The easiest way to avoid traffic jams is to take buses or the underground instead of driving your own car．Not only will you avoid traffic jams but you will most likely be saving money as the cost of motoring rises．

Helping Child Comlete Homework
Helping your child complete homework will help you know how he/she is at studies．It is not that you have to spend hours regularly helping your child with homework．But，sometimes you can help your child solve some questions．In this way，you will get to spend time with your child as well as get to know about his or her studies．

10．As the old saying goes，beauty is in the eye of the beholder．But Venezuela，whose beauty queens have won Miss Universe and Miss World over six times，doesn't leave it to chance．In Venezuela，girls as young as four can be found attending beauty schools，where they can learn a range of skills from how to walk to the correct way to hold a wine glass．
"Hair must always be completely clean，make-up should look natural，and you should always，always wear high-heels，"advises Andrea Reyes，a teacher in a school of Caracas with 160 students．
Beauty contests are treated in Venezuela much as sporting competitions are elsewhere．Many Venezuelan parents believe that if their daughters can succeed and get the beauty crown，their future as famous and public persons is sure to come．As a result，the girls are trained to compete at a young age．
Among former beauty queens are Irene Saez，who went on to compete for the country's president，and Eva Ekvall，whose battle with cancer helped to make more people know about the illness in Venezuela．
However，voices against the trend can be heard all over the country．At one time，a feminist （男女平等主义者） group tried to stop the Miss Venezuela broadcast．President Hugo Chavez has spoken out against the culture of plastic surgery（整形手术）in Venezuela，calling it a"frightening thing"．
The BBC reporter Sarah Grainger says that acceptance of the contests is partly a result of the country's"machista"（大男子主义的） view of the different roles that men and women should play，"Men are supposed to be strong and brave and women to be gentle and beautiful"．
Miss Universe 1996，Alicia Machado，knows the price to be paid when you're no longer seen as attractive．After winning the beauty contest，she said all she wanted to do was"eat，eat and eat"．Her weight gain later and warning by the organizers of the contest to replace her as queen with the runner-up was among the hottest topics in the country，especially in Latin America．

11．Starting a new school term is always exciting．It is a chance （81）to see （see） your friends again．But most exciting of all，the new term lets you take up new hobbies．It is common in Britain （82）for students to take up new hobbies after the Christmas holidays．Promising to learn something new is （83）a common New Year's resolution．
Most schools offer different kinds of hobby classes．Students （84）usually （usual） take them in their free periods or after school．Some classes you have to pay for and （85）others/some are free．For example，I once took a free Wednesday evening gymnastics class my school offered．（86）But when I learnt how to play the drum，my parents had to pay for the lessons．
The most popular extra classes at my school were piano lessons and drama club．Both classes offered exams students could take．Students with many hobbies sometimes felt （87）more stressed than those without any．But the students with hobbies left school with many extra （88）skills （skill）．
I （89）haven't continued （continue） any of the hobbies I began at school．But I have never regretted （90）taking （take） them．My best friend today is someone I met in my gymnastics class．
