11．An entire industry has been built upon the assumption that image is everything，but when it comes to it，an appealing image is not enough．If there is no substance（事实）behind the image，the product，service or person will fail eventually．
First of all，one should consider how important image is in the selling of products and services．Advertising agencies have raised the art of creating an image to a state of near perfection．Public concept of that product or service is certainly managed by the images created by the advertising agencies．But if the product or service does not live up to the image that was created，the customer will be very dissatisfied and possibly ask for their money back．For example，the Arthur Andersen accounting firm had spent decades building up an image of trustworthiness．But the recent scandal（丑闻）showed that behind that image，it cheated in business practices．Despite the previous positive image，the firm is being accused of criminal actions and it will probably not survive as a business unit．Although the image had been nearly perfect，the reality，behind the image has led to tile downfall of the word-famous accounting firm．
Similarly，personal advisers can build up a public image for politicians and movie stars．Putting out positive news releases，making sure that only the best photographs are published，and ensuring that the person is seen in all the right places can build up a very positive image in the view of the general commons．But once again，history is filled with examples of both politicians and movie stars that fell from grace like the story of the Hollywood actor giving in to the pressures of fame and fortune．With people，just as with products and services，image is certainly important，but without positive substance behind the image，failure is close．
To summarize，it is clear that an appealing image is extremely important to success，whether that image is related to selling a product or service or to the"selling"of a person．But image is only half of the equation（等式）．What lies behind that image is every bit as important as the image itself--the person or product must deliver truth on that image or there is little chance for long-term success．
67．The down fall of the Arthur Andersen accounting firm is due toB．
A．its previous images                 
B．its dishonesty in business
C．its bad management                
D．its poor service
68．Why did some famous people fall from grace？A

D．They paid little attention to fame and fortune．

1．The Medicine For Inflation
For years，prices have risen in China for many reasons．However，inflation （通货膨胀） has not badly affected people's lives because living standards have improved．Inflation is not an unbeatable beast．In fact，economists from all over the world have found ways to stop or reduce it．There are now several methods of controlling inflation．
Reduce the amount of money being issued
Many experts believe inflation happens because too much money is printed．The more money the central bank issues，the more inflation there is．Therefore，the most important thing to do for any government is to control the amount of money being issued．
Cut down on government spending and increase government income
Over-spending and over-expanding of governments can make inflation worse．Therefore it is helpful to reduce the size of big government bodies，cut down on their spending and pay fewer and smaller subsidies （津贴） to prevent inflation from accelerating．
Slow down the increase of salaries
It seems that giving bigger salaries to workers helps them manage when prices of their shopping are going up．In fact，as salaries increase，the central bank will have to issue more money to pay for the increase．Thus，increasing salaries may not be so good as it sounds．It's like cheating．Salaries should only be increased if workers produce more．
Increase bank interests
Interest increases can make more people put more money into banks．At the same time，enterprises take out fewer loans．Demand for money on the whole is lower．
Keep prices under strict control
Prices can be lowered by setting a ceiling--the highest prices--for most goods and freezing prices on most goods．

63．The word"issue"in Paragraph 3meansB．
A．use      B．print       C．quarrel      D．invent
64．The writer uses"medicine"to stand forA．
A．ways to reduce inflation          B．reasons for inflation
C．something to treat patients       D．prices without control
65．What is probably the best way to reduce inflation？D
A．No money will be issued．
B．Salaries will be reduced．
C．More products will be produced．
D．Prices will be controlled．
66．The article does not mentionDas a way of reducing inflation．
A．controlling prices
B．adjusting bank interests
C．controlling the amount of money being issued
D．improving people's living standards．
2．Imagine watching a movie，and seated beside you is someone who's texting（发短信） every 10minutes．It is the most annoying movie experience one can have．Even if the mobile phone is silent，its intermittent（ 间歇的） flashes of light are extremely bothersome．Maybe texting once is tolerable（过的去的），more than that means you're not being considerate（体贴的） of others．
Manners are exactly that：basic consideration of those around you．
It's in the movie theater where you see a mix of different personalities，and you don't even have to speak to them，not like at a party．It's where you see how people behave，and most people act as if there is no one else in the movie theater except them．
For instance，the food people bring in．Again，popcorn，nachos（墨西哥玉米片），chips and a drink are standard movie food．What do they have in common？None of them smells．Okay，so buttered popcorn smells，but it smells nice．A burger loaded with onions or fried chicken or even pizza does not smell anywhere near good．So next time，please observe food choices； consider the smell as well．
Getting out of the theater is another thing altogether．Please allow the people in front of you to go ahead of you in moving out of their seats to the aisle．If there is space，you can move forward．Believe it or not，jostling（推撞） happens everywhere，even in supposedly high-end theatre．
Please don't kick the chair in front of you．When you kick the chair in front of you，it bothers the person seated on it．
Lastly，though a little embarrassing，do not remove your shoes in the movie house．Will people ever know it？Yes，by the smell．
Next time you go and enjoy a movie，kindly be considerate to those around you so that they，too，can enjoy the movie．

71．Keeping good manners can be defined asC．
A．keeping silence when seeing film
B．not eating any food
C．showing consideration to others
D．not texting when seeing film
72．Why is silencing your mobile phone not enough when watching a movie？A
A．Because other behavious are also troublesome．
B．Because chatting with each other is also troublesome．
C．Because keeping texting is also troublesome．
D．Because the smell of food is also troublesome．
73．What's in common about the food allowed to be taken to a movie theatre？D
A．The food smells good．
B．The food are not expensive．
C．The food are easy to carry．
D．None of the food smells．
74．When getting out of theatre，one shouldC first．
A．let old people go 
B．let sick people go
C．let people in front of you go
D．let children go
75．What can be the best title for the text？A
A．Movies Manners
B．Don't Text When in the Theatre

16．A year ago August，Dave Fuss lost his job driving a truck for a small company in west Michigan．His wife，Gerrie，was still working in the local school cafeteria，but work for Dave was scarce，and the price of everything was rising．The Fusses were at risk of joining the millions of Americans who have lost their homes in recent years．Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely gift-＄7，000，a legacy （遗产） from their neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch，who died in an accident．"It really made a difference when we were going under financially．"says Dave．
But the Fusses weren't the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to receive unexpected legacy from the Hatches．Dozens of other families were touched by the Hatches'generosity．In some cases，it was a few thousand dollars； in other，it was more than＄100，000．
It surprised nearly everyone that the Hatches had so much money，more than＄3 million-they were an elderly couple who lived in an old house on what was left of the family farm．
Children of the Great Depression，Ish and Arlene were known for their habit of saving．They thrived on（喜欢）comparison shopping and would routinely go from store to store，checking prices before making a new purchase．
Through the years，the Hatches paid for local children to attend summer camp when their parents couldn't afford it．"Ish and Arlene never asked whether you needed anything，"says their friend Sand Van Weelden，"They could see things they could do to make you happier，and they would do them．
    Even more extraordinary was that the Hatches had their farmland distributed．It was the Hatches'wish that their legacy-a legacy of kindness as much as one of dollars and cents-should enrich the whole community and Ish and Arlene Hatch's story．
    Neighbors helping neighbors--that was Ish and Arlene Hatch's story．
56．According go the text，the FussesB．
A．were employed by a truck company                        
B．were in financial difficulty
C．worked in a school cafeteria                            
D．lost their home
57．Which of the following is true of the Hatches？C
A．They had their children during the Great Depression．
B．They left the family farm to live in an old house．
C．They gave away their possessions to their neighbors．
D．They helped their neighbors to find jobs．
58．Why would the Hatches routinely go from store？B
A．They decided to open a store．                          
B．They wanted to save money．
C．They couldn't afford expensive things．                
D．They wanted to buy gifts for local kids．
59．According to Sand Van Weelden，the Hatches wereA．
A．understanding   B．optimistic       C．childlike        D．curious
60．What can we learn from the text？D

D．The Hatches would like the neighbors to follow their example．
3．Parents who feel disappointed at their teenagers'failure to pay attention in class，and inability to sit quietly long enough to finish homework or plan ahead，should take solace．Their children are not being lazy or careless，according to new research．
    The research has found that teenagers'brains continue developing far longer into adulthood than we used to think．Teens may look like young adults but their brain structure is similar to that of much younger children．
"It is not always easy for teens to pay attention in class without letting their minds wander，or to ignore distractions from their younger brothers or sisters when trying to solve a maths   problem，"said Dr Iroise Dumon-theil．"But it's not the fault of teenagers that they can't pay attention and are easily distracted．It's to do with the structure of their brains．Teens simply can't think as well as an adult．"
    The research showed that the brain of a teenager works less effectively than that of an adult．"We knew that the front of the brain of teens functioned in a chaotic  （混乱的） way but we  didn't realize it continued until the late 20s or early 30s，"said Dr Sarah-Jayne Blakemore，who led the research．
    Chaotic thought patterns are a result of teenagers'brains containing too much grey matter-the cell bodies and connections which carry messages within the brain．As we age，the amount of grey matter in our brain reduces．
"What our research has shown is that there is simply too much going on in the brains of teens，"said Blakemore．"The result is that their brain energy and resources are wasted and their decision-making process is badly influenced．Adults，on the other hand，have less grey matter．This means that the brain works far more effectively．"
63．The underlined word"solace"in Paragraph 1 may meanC．
A．notice      B．medicine    C．comfort     D．action
64．When making decisions，A．
A．teens'brains continue to do much needless work
B．the grey matter in young children's front brain becomes active
C．people are not likely to be distracted until their late 30s
D．adults are more independent than teens
65．What is the effect of having too much grey matter？D
A．It makes us always feel disappointed．
B．It makes us more intelligent．
C．It had a bad effect on the growth of teens．
D．It had a bad effect on decision-making．
66．What's the text mainly about？C
A．Teens have different brains from those of children．
B．Adults work more effectively than teens．
C．Grey matter makes teens unable to pay attention．
D．Brain energy is wasted in the brain's activity．
20．It was a Sunday morning，and I was in a terrible mood．Two of my friends had gone to the movies the night before and hadn't invited me．I was in my room thinking of ways to make them sorry when my father came in．"Want to go for a ride today，Beck？It's a beautiful day．"
"No!Leave me alone!"Those were the last words I said to him that morning．
My friends called and invited me to go to the mall with them a few hours later．I forgot to be mad at them and went．When I came home I found a note on the table．My mother put it where I would be sure to see it．"Dad has had an accident．Please meet us at Highland Park Hospital"．
When I reached the hospital，my mother came out and told me my father's injuries were extensive．"Your father told the driver to leave him alone and just call 911，thank God!If he had moved Daddy，there's no telling what might have happened．A broken rib（肋骨）might have pierced （穿透）a lung…．"
My mother may have said more，but I didn't hear．I didn't hear anything except those terrible words：Leave me alone．My dad said them to save himself from being hurt more．How much had I hurt him when I hurled those words at him earlier in the day？
It was several days later that he was finally able to have a conversation．I held his hand gently，afraid of hurting him．
"Daddy…I am so sorry…．"
"It's okay，sweetheart．I'll be okay．"
"No，"I said，"I mean about what I said to you that day．You know，that morning？"
My father could no more tell a lie than he could fly．He looked at me and said，"Sweetheart，I don't remember anything about that day，not before，during or after the accident．I remember kissing you goodnight the night before，though．"He managed a weak smile．
My English teacher once told me that words have immeasurable power．They can hurt or they can heal．And we all have the power to choose our words．I intend to do that very carefully from now on．
51．The author was in bad mood that morning becauseC．
A．his father had a terrible accident
B．he couldn't drive to the mall with his friends
C．his friends hadn't invited him to the cinema
D．his father didn't allow him to go out with his friends

B．Because he was rude to his father that morning．
C．Because he failed to come earlier after the accident．
D．Because he couldn't look after his father in the hospital．

1．Do you love running？It is a good exercise，yet many people find it boring．But what if making your morning jog a creative one？Like jumping from walls and over gaps，and ground rolls？Just like the James Bond in the movie Casino Royale？Bond jumps down from a roof to a windowsill and then runs several blocks over obstacles on the way．It is just because of Bond's wonderful performances that the sport has become popular worldwide．
　　Yes，that's parkour，an extreme street sport aimed at moving from one point to another as quickly as possible，getting over all the obstacles in the path using only the abilities of the human body．Parkour is considered an extreme sport．As its participants dash around a city，they may jump over fences，run up walls and even move from rooftop to rooftop．
Parkour can be just as exciting and charming as it sounds，but its participants see parkour much more than that．
Overcoming all the obstacles on the course and in life is part of the philosophy（哲理） behind parkour． This is the same as life． You must determine your destination，go straight，and jump over all the barriers as if in parkour and never fall back from them in your life，to reach the destination successfully． A parkour lover said，"I love parkour because its philosophy has become my life，my way to do everything．"
Another philosophy we've learnt from parkour is freedom． It can be done by anyone，at any time，anywhere in the world． It is a kind of expression of trust in yourself that you earn energy and confidence．
