1.I am a good mother to three children.I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.
I no longer consider myself the center of the universe.I show up.I listen.I try to laugh.I am a good friend to my husband.I have tried to make marriage vows mean what they say.I am a good friend to my friends,and they to me.Without them,there would be nothing to say to you today.
So here's what I want to tell you today:Get a life.A real life,not a desire of the next promotion,the bigger paycheck,the larger house.
Get a life in which you are not alone.Find people you love,and who love you.And remember that love is not leisure (休闲),it is work.Pick up the phone.Send an email.Write a letter.And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.
It is so easy to waste our lives,our days,our hours,and our minutes.It is so easy to exist instead of to lie.I learnt to live many years ago.Something really,really bad happened to me,something that changed my life in ways that,if I had my choice,it would never have been changed at all.And what I learned from it is what,today,seems to be the hardest lesson of all.
I learned to love the journey,not the destination.I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it,completely and totally.And I tried to do that,in part,by telling others what I had learned.
By telling them this:Read in the backyard with the sun on your face.Learn to be happy.And think of life as a deadly illness,because if you do,you will live it with joy and passion (激情) as it ought to be lived.

9.Last week.we talked about Massive Open Online Courses.also called MOOCs.Tens of thousands,or even more,people Can take these classes all at once.You can be anywhere in the worht to take a MOOC.All you need is a computer and a network connection.
MOOCs add to a tradition of what is known as distance learning.For years,many colleges have offered classes that are taught partly or mostly online.MOOCs are available in subjects like comlmter science,engineering or mechanics.Can MOOCs in subjects like arts or the humanities(人文学科)be as effective?
Scott Anderson teaches philosophy at the University of British Columbia in Canada.He sees both good and bad sides to MOOCs.Scott Anderson says,"There are pails that will be tine,insofar as mostly when students listen to a lecture.there is no special reason why they need to be physically present to hear and get it."Mr.Anderson says increased numbers of students in MOOCs can mean less communication between them and teachers.He says two ways to deal with this are.by adding more teachers and setting up online discussion groups.
Lisa Jadwin teaches English and American literature and writing at St.John Fisher College in New York.She says online education has some weaknesses for her subjects.
She says,"What's lost in online education is face-to-face interaction.And that old-fashioned approuch is not going to be replaced very quickly by computer-aided instrnction."Professor Jadwin says some students could learn very well from talks and reading assignments,blogs and discussion groups.But she believes that hybrid courses work best.She describes hybrids as mixing face-to-face course elements with computer-aided teaching and writing proiects.
Bill Pogue teaches communications at the University of Houston-Downtown.He sees good value in online education.He noted a strong sense of communitv in an online ciyrse he once took.He said the students worked together on a project while living on four continents.

16.One often hears it said that travel broadens the mind.But does this always happen?
    When an acquaintance of mine returned from France,I asked him how he liked it."The breakfasts were terrible."he said,"No bacon or kippers.I had fried eggs and chips,but it was quiet a business getting them to make them."Obviously travel had not broadened his mind.He had judged it entirely from his own English viewpoints.
    All nationalities,in all foreign countries,can be found judging what they see,hear,taste and smell according to their own habits and customs.People who are better educated and who have read a lot about foreign countries tend to adapt and tolerate all easily.That is because their minds have already been broadened before they start travelling.
    Physical differences are not so difficult to be adapted to as mental ones.In Indonesia,the left hand is considered unclean.When a foreigner offers or takes something with his left hand,the Indonesian may explain this action as arising from a difference in custom,but the deep prejudice against the use of the left hand will not be so easilydone away with.
There are some travelers who adapt themselves so successfully to foreign customs and habits that they get the severe criticisms of their more stubborn fellow-countrymen.If they are Asians,they are accused of having become"Westernized",and if they are Europeans,people say they have"gone native".
Perhaps the ideal would be if travel could succeed m making people tolerate the habits and customs of others without abandoning their own.The criterion for judging a foreigner could be"Does he try to be polite and considerate to others?"instead of"Is he like me?

    A.put up with      B.taken place of        C.made up for      D.got rid of

From March 29to April 19,a new version of Death of a Salesman
was performedat tne Capital Theatre as the first in a series (系列) offoreign classics to mark the 60th anniversary of the Beijing People's Art
Theatre.The last time this play was performed in Beijing was 29years ago.
Death of a Salesman was created in 1949by Arthur Miller,who  used it to reveal (揭示) the weakness of the"American Dream".The main character,Willy Loman,believes wholeheartedly in American capitalism,and desires to"succeed"but his own greed  consumes him in the end.Death of a Salesman's first performance was a huge hit on Broadway,where it shocked the American theatre world,and strengthened the 33-year-old Miller's status as a master of American theatre.The play won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama,New York Drama Critics'Circle,and the Tony Award for Best Play.The New York Times praised Death of a Salesman as a milestone of 20th century theatre.In 1999,Death of a Salesman received another Tony Award for Best Revival,and the then 83-year-old Miller was given the National Medal of Arts.
The 1983version of Death of a Salesman was directed personally by Arthur Miller on a visit to China,with Beijing director and actor Ying Ruocheng as the main character of Willy Loman.On May 7,1983,the play was performed for the first time at the Capital Theatre,and the first series of performances lasted until August 18,with over 50performances,some of which filled the house,and all of which had great influence.
When it was first performed here,China didn't have"salesman",so the actors had to use their imagination to represent the characters and American society,and the audiences weren't entirely sure about some information.For example,they couldn't understand what"fixed payments"were,or why,if Willy was a lower-class member of American society,his family had a house,car,refrigerator,and television.But this didn't stop the play from becoming a widely-known page in Beijing's theatre history.

56.What would be the best title for the passage?A
A.Death of a Salesman Returns to Beijing
B.Arthur Miller-a master of American theatre
C.Willy Loman-winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama

57.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A
A.The play received the Tony Award twice.
B.Arthur Miller became famous in his forties.
C.China didn't have"salesman"until the play was first performed here.
D.The 1983version of Death of a Salesman was directed by Ying Ruocheng.
58.The underlined word"consumes"in Paragraph 2probably meansB.
A.benefits     B.destroys     C.encourages  D.purchases
59.We may know from the last paragraph thatD.
A.the play was not well received at first because it was from America
B.most Chinese couldn't understand the play because of the language
C.the Chinese actors did not perform well enough to attract the audiences
D.the audiences could still appreciate the play regardless of cultural differences.
13.Almost 200 countries met for two weeks in Copenhagen,Denmark at a United Nations conference on climate change.It was due to conclude a deal designed to set a carbon cutting framework to cover 2012-2050.In the end,only five of them reached an agreement:the United States,China,India,Brazil and South Africa.
President Obama praised the agreement last Friday.He said,"Many people are disappointed in the agreement,but the compromise is better than nothing."
The voluntary agreement,known as the Copenhagen Accord,urges major polluters to make deeper cuts in the emission(排放) of greenhouse gases.Greenhouse gas emissions,such as carbon dioxide,are partly created by burning oil and coal for transportation and electricity.
The agreement sets targets to prevent the Earth's average temperature from rising more than two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.And the plan calls for 100 billion dollars a year in aid to poor nations to deal with climate change.This would start in 2020.
But the agreement is not legally binding(约束).It fails to set detailed targets for cuts in carbon emissions.And it failed to earn the support of all the nations at the talks.
India's environment minister praised the united position taken by India,China,Brazil and South Africa.He said it permitted them to avoid the legally binding targets and international supervision proposed by developed countries.
India has promised to cut emissions by at least twenty percent but they say rich nations created the problem,so they should take most of the responsibility for reducing greenhouse gases.
China rejected accusations that it was responsible for the results at Copenhagen.A Foreign Ministry spokeswoman said developed countries didn't perform well at the talks.She said China has taken its own measures to fight climate change and supports pressing ahead with international cooperation.
China and other large developing countries have accused rich nations of failing to offer big enough cuts in their own emissions.They also say wealthy nations did not offer enough money and technology to help poor countries deal with climate change.
In Europe,politicians and environmentalists expressed deep disappointment that world leaders failed to reach a stronger agreement.United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon says the Copenhagen Accord is only a beginning,and that he will work with world leaders to reach a legally binding treaty(条约) in the coming months.

72.What's the main purpose of the Copenhagen conference?B
A. To sign the Copenhagen Accord.
B. To reach a legally binding agreement on cutting carbon emissions.
C. To discuss measures of controlling the world climate change.
D. To prevent the Earth,s average temperature from rising.
73.Which is true about the agreement,the Copenhagen Accord?D
A. It will collect﹩100 billion to help poor countries to deal with climate change.
B. It has earned the support of all the nations at the conference.
C. It has set detailed targets for big enough cuts in carbon emissions.
D. It is far from a satisfactory agreement,which should be legally binding.
74.Which of the following is NOT China's attitude towards the issue of climate change?A
A. China should be responsible for the result of the world climate change.
B. Rich countries should offer more money to help poor ones deal with climate change.
C. China supports pressing ahead with international cooperation to fight climate change.
D. Major polluters should make deeper cuts in the emission of greenhouse gases.
75.By saying"the Copenhagen Accord is only a beginning",Ban Ki-moon implies thatA.
A.there is still a long way to go
B.there is little hope to realize the goal
C.too little is achieved at this conference
D.he is disappointed with the world leaders.
