8．From good reading we can derive pleasure，companionship，experience，and instruction．A good book may absorb our attention so completely that for the time being we forget our surroundings and even our identity．Reading good books is one of the greatest pleasures in life．It increases our contentment when we are cheerful，and lessens our troubles when we are sad．Whatever may be our main purpose in reading，our contact with good books should never fail to give us enjoyment and satisfaction．
With a good book in our hands we need never be lonely．Whether the characters portrayed are taken from real life or are purely imaginary，they may become our companions and friends．In the pages of books we can walk with the wise and the good of all lands and all times．The people we meet in books may delight us either because they resemble human friends whom we hold dear or because they present unfamiliar types whom we are glad to welcome as new acquaintances．Our human friends sometimes may bore us，but the friends we make in books need never weary us with their company．By turning the page we can dismiss them without any fear of hurting their feelings．When human friends desert us，good books are always ready to give us friendship，sympathy，and encouragement．
One of the most valuable gifts bestowed by books is experience．Few of us can travel far from home or have a wide range of experiences，but all of us can lead varied lives through the pages of books．Whether we wish to escape from the seemingly dull realities of everyday life or whether we long to visit some far-off place，a book will help us when nothing else can．To travel by book we need no bank account to pay our way； no airship or ocean liner or stream-lined train to transport us； no passport to enter the land of our heart's desire．Through books we may get the thrill of hazardous adventure without danger．We can climb lofty mountains，brave the perils of an Antarctic winter，or cross the scorching sands of the desert，all without hardship．In books we may visit the studios of Hollywood； we may mingle with the gay throngs of the Paris boulevards； we may join the picturesque peasants in an Alpine village or the kindly natives on a South Sea island．Indeed，through books the whole world is ours for the asking．The possibilities of our literary experiences are almost unlimited．The beauties of nature，the enjoyment of music，the treasures of art，the triumphs of architecture，the marvels of engineering，are all open to the wonder and enjoyment of those who read．
43．Why is it that we sometimes forget our surroundings and even our identity while reading？B
A．No one has come to disturb you．
B．The book you are reading is so interesting and attractive．
C．Everything is so quiet and calm around you．
D．Your book is overdue； you are finishing it at a very fast speed．
44．How would you account for the fact that people like their acquaintances in books even more？C
A．They resemble human friends exactly．B．They are unfamiliar types we like．
C．They never desert us．D．They never hurt our feelings．
45．Which of the following is true？C
A．Your wish to visit some far-off place can be realized through the pages of the books．
B．To escape from the dull realities of everyday life you should take up reading．
C．You may obtain valuable experience from reading good books．
D．Books can always help you to live a colorful life．
46．The word"weary"meansD．
A．"to attract someone's attention"B．"to distract someone's attention"
C．"to make someone interested"D．"to make someone very tired"

18．Knowing about yourself not only means finding out what you're good at and what you like，but also means discovering what you're not good at and what you don't like．Both help you to see your aim （目标） in life．
Although most students would be unhappy if they failed a very difficult physics exam，they have in fact learned a lot about themselves．They know that they should not become engineers or physical scientists．So failing can help a student to live a happier life if he learns something from it．They may then decide on their aims and choose the work they like and are fit for．
It is impossible to decide whether you like something until you have tried it．If you decide  to play the piano，you need to take more than one lesson before knowing whether you are really interested in it or able to do well．It is not enough if you want to be a great pianist．You also have to like the hard practice and long training．If you enjoy being a great pianist but hate the work，forget it．

3．Welcome to your future life!
You get up in the morning and look into the mirror．Your face is firm and young-looking．In 2035，medical technology is better than ever．Many people your age could live to be 150，so at 40，you're not old at all．And your parents just had an anti-aging （抗衰老的） treatment．Now，all three of you look the same age!

17．Researchers at the University of Kansas say that people can accurately judge 90percent of a stranger's personality simply by looking at the person's shoes．"Shoes convey useful information about their wearers，''the authors wrote in the new study published in the Journal of Research in Personality．
Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgments were based on the style，cost，color and condition of someone's shoes．In the study，63University of Kansas researchers looked at pictures showing 208different pairs of shoes worn by the study's participants．Volunteers in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes，and then filled out a personality questionnaire．
Some of the results were expected：People with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive shoes，and flashier shoes were typically worn by outgoing people．However，some of the more specific results are strange enough．For example，"practical and functional''shoes were generally worn by more"pleasant"people，while ankle boots were more linked with‘‘aggressive''personalities．The strangest of all may be that those who wore‘‘uncomfortable looking"shoes tend to have"calm"personalities．And if you have several pairs of new shoes or take extreme care of them，you may suffer from"attachment anxiety"，spending lots of time worrying about what other people think of your appearance．There was even a political calculation in the mix with more liberal（主张变革的）types wearing"shabbier and less expensive"shoes．
The researchers noted that some people will choose shoe styles to mask their actual personalities，but researchers noted that volunteers were also likely to be unaware that their footwear choices were showing the deep side of their personalities．

32．What does this text mainly tell us？C
A．The richer you are，the more expensive shoes you will wear．
B．Shoes convey false information about the wearer．

A．Wealthy people often wear expensive shoes．
B．Pleasant people like wearing uncomfortable shoes．
