I stepped into my hotel room to a pleasant surprise. Lots of room surrounded an inviting king-size bed, with armchairs nearby resting against sliding glass doors that opened onto a private yard. A small dining table sat next to a kitchen with a refrigerator and coffee machine. "Wow," I thought to myself. "Nice place."
I love hotels. I love to enter a clean room, hang my clothes and gaze out the window, walk out in the morning and when I return, someone else will have made the bed. I like in-room dining and the way they greet you so professionally. "Nice to have you with us again, Mr. Goldsborough." Very cool.
The problem is that unless Alison travels with me, I never sleep well in hotels. I miss my family, even though Linus and Camille, at ages 4 and almost 2, find a way to interrupt even the best night's sleep at home.
I'm deeply troubled by the number of parents who wake up too late with the realization:
"My children grew up too fast. In the busy career and corporate rat race(剧烈竞争), I missed their childhood.” What they fail to say but too often think causes me even more pain: "...and I barely even know them."
A hundred years from now, no one will remember the size of your bank account, the car you drove or the size of your house. The world might differ greatly however, based on your impact in the life of a small child. If you pay attention to your significant others, make the choice to put them first.
Think of one specific action that you can take, and take it. Then think of another one and take that, too. Challenge yourself to find new ways to express your appreciation and love on a daily basis. It will pay off ten-fold(十倍)at home.

High school seems bigger. There are  36 kids and it’s a totally new environment. It could be a  37 time for new students,  38 ,in fact, it isn’t really that bad.
The first day of course is always terrifying, but, then again, the first day of middle school was probably the  39 .Of course you might get lost during the first few days  40 your classes, but after a while what seems like a large school really isn’t.
One thing that’s really cool about high school is that there are so many more classes that you can  41 .For example, if you like  42 ,there are many art classes. At the same time, there are  43 classes, which you can’t take in middle school  44 photography and psychology(心理学).There are many new things in high school that make it much more  45 .
In high school, you’re able to join more clubs, play more sports, and take part in more  46 ,and at the same time make new friends with kids with the same  47 as you. Also, these activities can give you a  48 to learn something that you might not have had the opportunity to learn in  49 .
High school is different  50 everyone, but there’s one thing that’s  51 .You’re going to have just as much fun here as you  52 before. But having fun isn’t enough though! You’re  53 so you have to be more responsible. Everything changes when you get  54 ,but the changes aren’t that bad. You  55 worry too much about growing up.

Dear Dad,
I was very upset when I received your letter. I knew you  36 not like my results, but I didn’t realize you and Mum were so  37 with me. This has made me  38 very carefully about myself, and now I  39  how silly I have been.
My poor  40 have come from my own  41 . Of course, I want to do my best. I want you and Mum to be proud  42  me, but somehow when I get to school I just can’t keep my   43  on the subject and I stop  44  the teacher. So many other things seem so much more  45 , but I know that I must not  46 the chance you and Mum have given me. If I don’t work very hard 47  the next few months, I am going to get  48 results. So I am going to study hard this summer. And I will show Mum anything  49 I can’t understand so that she can give me help.
I  50 you will allow me to play some basketball. I think I need some exercise,   51 _ I will control the time I   52 on it properly.
If you want me to stop meeting Cindy, I will — but there is  53 serious. We are just good friends, and she often helps me  54 my schoolwork.
Dad, I am really sorry I have made you angry. I’m going to try my best to  55 my study. I promise that I will make you proud of me soon.
Yours,
Jimmy

A modern-day love story of a man spotting the girl of his dreams across a New York subway train and tracking her down over the Internet has failed to have a fairytale ending with the relationship over.
For Web designer Patrick Moberg, then 21, from Brooklyn, it was love at first sight when he spotted a woman on a Manthttan train last November. But he lost her in the crowd so he set up a website with a sketch picture to find her—www.Nygirlofmydreams.com.
Unbelievably in a city of 8 million people, it only took Moberg 48 hours to track down the woman, with his phone ringing non-stop and email box overflowing. New Yorkers took sympathy on the subway Romeo and joined his hunt.
The mysterious girl was named as Camille Hayton, from Melbourne, Australia, who was working at the magazine Black Book and also lived in Brooklyn. One of her friends spotted the sketched picture on the Web site and recognized her.
But after finding each other, appearing on TV and getting international press, the couple took their romance out of the public eye, with Moberg closing down the Web site and with both refusing to make any more comments—until now.
Hayton told Australian newspaper The Sunday Telegraph that she dated Moberg for about two months but it just didn’t work out.
“I say we dated for a while but now we’re just friends,” Hayton, now 23, told the newspaper. Hayton said she is still recognized about three times a week on the streets of Manhattan as “that girl” and the question is always the same: “So what happened?”
“I think the situation was so intense that it linked us,” she said, adding, “it linked us in a way that you could mistake, I guess, for being more romantic than it was. I don’t know. But I wanted to give it a go so didn’t wonder what if, what if?”
Hayton told The Sunday Telegraph that she is enjoying single life in New York, keeping busy with acting classes, working in two clothing stores. Last week she had a small role as a waitress in the long-running daytime soap As the World Turns.
“I just can’t believe it happened. It feels like a long time ago,” said Hayton. Moberg, however, was still refusing to comment on the relationship.
小题1:After Moborg lost the girl in the crowd he set up a website with       .
A.a pretty notice to find herB.a rough drawing to discover her
C.an exciting program to attract herD.an inspiring story to move her
小题2: Moberg found the girl in a short time because        .
A.he phoned everybody in the cityB.he e-mailed everybody in the city
C.he continued his hunt day and nightD.he got help from the net citizens

A.She has become a superstar in the city.
B.She has become a journalist in Australia.
C.She still gets noticed in the streets in New York.
D.She is out of work and is looking for a new job.
小题4:The best title for this passage may be        .
A.NY subway romance hits end
B.NY subway romance causes debate(争论)
C.NY—a romantic city for the young couple
D.NY—a heartbreaking city for the young couple
Cheating can happen in a lot of different ways. When people cheat, it’s not fair to other people, like the kids who studied for the test or who were the true winners of a game.
Many people like the action of cheating. It makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answers on the test. But it doesn’t solve the problem of not knowing the material and it won’t help on the next test --- unless the person cheats again.
Some people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them. The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade. And, if they get caught cheating, they will be in trouble at school, and maybe at home, too.
Some kids cheat because they’re busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying. Other kids might feel like they can’t pass the test without cheating. Even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating, cheating isn’t a good idea.
If you were sick or upset about something the night before and couldn’t study, it would be better to talk with the teacher about this. And if you don’t have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice, you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school. A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions together. Talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating.(291 words)

The global financial crisis is likely to cause increased mental health problems as people struggle to deal with poverty and unemployment, the World Health Organization warned Thursday.
Hundreds of millions of people worldwide are already affected by mental problems such as depression and bipolar disorders (带躁狂的抑郁症) and the current market meltdown (崩溃) could worsen feelings of despair among people who can't stand such illnesses.
The United Nations agency said the impact could be especially marked for those living in low and middle income countries where access to treatment is often limited.
"We should not be surprised at the turbulence (动荡) and likely consequences of the current financial crisis.Now we are seeing a huge gap in taking care of people in great need," WHO director general Margaret Chan told at a meeting of mental health experts.
"It should not come as a surprise that we continue to see more stresses, suicides and mental disorders," Chan warned.
Benedetto Saraceno, director of WHO's mental health, said mental health disorders affected one in four people at some point in their lives.
Mental and neurological disorders are often chronic (慢性) and disabling, he said.Nearly 1 million people commit suicide worldwide every year, a large part of them are young adults.
Asked about the financial crisis, Saraceno said, "Poverty can be the consequence of such events, the debts, despair and sense of loss that may reach middle and lower classes.Even the poor can be affected by this crisis."
"There is clear evidence that suicide is linked to financial disasters.I am not talking about the millionaire's jumping out of the window but about poor people," he said.The global crisis could be expected to affect the "stability of communities and families", according to Saraceno.
60.According to the passage, the chief result of the worldwide financial crisis is that        .
A.more people will be poorer
B.more people will be out of jobs
C.more people will suffer from mental problems
D.more people will commit suicide
61.The United Nations agency worried that              .
A.more rich people would commit suicide
B.the financial crisis might especially influence developing or underdeveloped countries
C.the current market meltdown could worsen feelings of despair
D.hundreds of millions of people in the world were already affected by mental problems
62.It can be inferred that              . 
A.far more work should be done to help those who are mentally ill
B.it will be surprising to see more people commit suicide
C.a mental disorder is a chronic disease
D.many more young adults commit suicide worldwide than people of other ages
63.The best title for the passage is              . 
A.Global Financial Crisis.
B.Mental Disorders Resulting From Global Financial Crisis.
C.Suicides as a Result of Market Meltdown.
D.Chronic Mental Disorders.
