9.When you meet people for the first time it's always nice to make eye contact and smile.It's a simplecourtesy and leads to a relaxed conversation.If you tend to be a shy person,this may be somewhat difficult for you.You may tend to look down or away when greeting someone.This can break the conversation right away.
In his book,How to connect in business in 90 seconds or less,Nicholas Boothman offers a really simple solution to the problem.When you meet or greet someone for the first time,just make a mental note of their eye color.This simple technique is amazingly effective.If you are looking for their eye color you'll make eye contact for a second or two.
I have found this works well one by one and is also effective in small groups.It really helps build rapport(密切关系)when giving a speech or presentation as it lets the audience member know that you are paying attention to them.
I speak quite often to groups of 10~20 people in Toastmasters.When I use this technique to make eye contact as I scan the room,I pause just long enough to build rapport with each audience member.
When you first try this you may find yourself saying blue,green,brown,etc in your mind,but you'll find it soon becomes natural and is an easy habit to develop.It's a simple exercise but you'll notice the difference right away.
Try it in you r next small group speech or presentation.Instead of an impersonal gaze over the room,
if you make eye contact,you'll find that you'll build almost instant rapport with your audience.They will pay better attention to what you are saying and it may keep them awake.

32.What is the best title for the passage?C
A.How to connect in business

19.There used to be four common life phases (阶段):childhood,adolescence,adulthood and old age.Now,there are at least six:childhood,adolescence,odyssey,adulthood,active retirement and old age.Of the new ones,the least understood is odyssey,the decade of wandering that frequently occurs between adolescence and adulthood.
They see that people in this age bracket are delaying marriage.They're delaying having children.They're delaying permanent employment.People who were born before 1964tend to define adulthood by certain achievements moving away from home,becoming financially independent,getting married and starting a family.
In 1960,roughly 70percent of 30-year-olds had achieved these things.By 2000,fewer than 40percent of 30-year-olds had done the same.
Yet with a little imagination it's possible even for baby boomers (生育高峰期的人) to understand what it's like to be in the middle of the odyssey years.It's possible to see that this period is a sensible response to modern conditions.
Two of the American best social scientists have been trying to understand this new life period.Through their work,you can see uncertainty that now characterizes this stage.Young people grow up in tightly structured childhoods,Robert Wuthnow of Princeton observes,but then graduate into a world of uncertainty.Old success recipes don't apply,new systems have not been established and everything seems to give way to a less permanent version of itself.Dating gives way to Facebook and hooking up.Newspaper reading gives way to blogging.For example,in 1970,49percent of adults in their 20s read a daily paper,now it's at 21percent.
The job market is changeable.Graduating seniors don't find corporations offering them jobs that will guide them all the way to retirement.Instead they find a vast menu of information economy options,few of which they have heard of or prepared for.

67.Which is the correct order of the following life phases?B
a.childhood    b.adolescence    c.adulthood
d.old age      e.odyssey        f.active retirement
A.a-b-c-d-e-f B.a-b-e-c-f-dC.a-b-e-d-f-c  D.a-b-c-e-d-f
68.By 2000,most of the 30-year-oldsD.
A.were financially dependent
B.got well-prepared for the employment
C.got married early and started their family
D.preferred blog writing to newspaper reading
69.We can learn from Paragraph 5that young peopleC.
A.favor the world full of changes
B.grew up in unstable childhoods
C.feel uneasy about the present situation
D.may refer to the experience of their seniors
70.The passage is probably followed by a paragraph about theC
A.concerns about active retirement phase
B.reasons for the birth of the odyssey phase
C.influences of the odyssey phase on the society
D.situations of active retirement in other countries.
20.Do you love the city life or the life in the countryside?Many people want to move from the country to the city because they think that life in the city is more exciting and better than in rural areas,especially younger people who like new,modern things.
Often people like to be fashionable and feel they can find the latest styles only in the city.Other people are interested in technological(技术的)things and high tech jobs and think they can find them only in a big city.If they want to find a job,especially a good position in a company,they feel they have to live in a city.To enjoy these jobs,they are willing to put up with many of the disadvantages of city life such as crime,high traffic,and pollution.
However,it is now possible to enjoy a higher quality of life in the countryside and still enjoy some of the advantages of living in the city.Nowadays,travel is fast and information is available on the Internet,so many people are able to do their work in home offices.
Because they have e-mail and personal computers,they don't have to be in big cities to do their business.It is not important where they actually work because the results of their work can be sent everywhere.So,why should they put up with all the disadvantages of the city any longer?Now they can escape noisy city life to enjoy life in the countryside and still be able to do good business and successful careers.

14.While it is impossible to live completely free of stress,it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce its effect when it can't be avoided.The US Department of Health and Human Services offers the following suggestions for ways to deal with stress.
●Try physical activity.
When you are nervous,angry or upset,try releasing (释放) the pressure through exercise or physical activity.(36)G 
●Take care of yourself.
You should make every effort to eat well and get enough rest.If you easily get angry and cannot sleep well enough,or if you're not eating properly,it will be more likely that you will fall into situations of stress.(37)F●Make time for yourself.
(38)BDon't forget,play can be just as important as work.You need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun.Go window-shopping or work on a hobby.Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy.
●(39)D 
Stress can r esult from disorganization (杂乱无章) and a feeling that"there's so much to do,and not enough time."Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and,as a result,you may not achieve anything.Instead,make a list of everything you have to do,then do one thing at a time.(40)CSet out to do the most important tasks first.

1.Generally speaking,government regulations normally ban anything from smoking in public places to parking in certain zones.But officials in the Brazilian town of Biritiba Mirim,70km (45miles) east of Sao Paulo,have gone far beyond that.They plan to prohibit residents from dying early because the local cemetery(墓地) has reached full capacity.
There's no more room to bury the dead,they can't be cremated(火化) and laws forbid a new cemetery.So the mayor has proposed a strange solution:outlaw death.Mayor Roberto Pereira says the bill is meant as a protest against federal regulations that prohibit new or expanded cemeteries in preservation areas."They have not taken local demands into consideration",he claims.
A 2003decree(法令) by Brazil's National Environment Council forbids burial grounds in protected areas.Mr.Pereira wants to build a new cemetery,but the project has been stopped because 98% of Biritiba Mirim is considered as a preservation area.
Biritiba Mirim,a town of 28,000inhabitants,not only wants to prohibit residents from passing away.The bill also calls on people to take care of their health in order to avoid death."I haven't got a job,nor am I healthy.And now they say I can't die.That's ridiculous,"Amarido do Prado,an unemployed resident said.
The city council is expected to vote on the regulation next week."Of course the bill is laughable,illegal,and will never be approved,"said Gilson Soares de Campos,an assistant of the mayor."But can you think of a better resolution to persuade the government to change the environmental decree that is prohibiting us from building a new cemetery?"The bill states that"offenders will be held responsible for their acts."However,it does not say what the punishment will be.

32.What is the bill to be proposed by the officials in Biritiba Mirim?D
A.Ban on building a new cemetery.
B.Ban on parking in certain zones.
C.Forbidding buried grounds in preservation.
D.Prohibiting residents from dying early.
33.What can we infer from the phrase"have gone far beyond that"in the first paragraph?C

C.The bill to be proposed by officials in Biritiba Mirim is much too unexpected.
D.The officials in Biritiba Mirim have built too many cemeteries in their town.
34.What's the attitude of the mayor of Biritiba Mirim towards the federal regulations?C
A.He remains silent about them.
B.He gives strong backing to them.
C.He objects to them.
D.He asks the residents for advice on them.
35.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?C

18.MARTY'S STORY
I am Marty Fielding,who has a muscle disease which makes me very weak.(56)Unfortunately (fortune),the doctors don't know how to make me better,but I have learned to adapt to my disability.
I used to climb trees,swim and so on.Then I started to get weaker and weaker.Sometimes some children in my primary school would laugh at me.Every time I returned after an absence when I was too weak to go to school,I felt stupid (57)because I was behind the others.

In many ways my (62)disability(disable) has helped me grow stronger (63)psychologically (psychology) and become more independent.If I had a chance to say one thing to healthy children,it would be this:having a disability does not mean your life is not  (64)satisfying(satisfy),so don't feel sorry for the disabled or make fun of them,and don't ignore them either.Just accept them for who they are,and give them (65)encouragement(encourage) to live as rich and full a life as you do.
19.Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up,my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house.Walking together,my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences.He always told me,"You should have goals like climbing the mountain."Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed,we couldn't have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy.I really got a lot from mountain-climbing.It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience (耐力).
