1.The world is filled with talented people.A few days ago,my car was not running well.I drove it into a garage(修车厂),and the young mechanic had my car(21)Cin just a few minutes.What   (22)A   me most was that he knew what was wrong by simply listening to its(23)B.
But I am(24)D shocked at how little money those talented people earn.Once a business consultant(顾问) in the(25)Atrade told me so many doctors and dentists are struggling   (26)D,which surprised me so much because I used to think that after they graduated,the(27)Cwould pour in.The business consultant then gave me the phrase,"They're some skills away from great wealth."It means that most people need to learn and(28)A some skills of money management before their income increases(29)B.Unfortunately,schools   (30)A consider developing students'financial intelligence(财务智商) as intelligence,and after graduation,most people just work hard to pay their(31)A.
When asked"How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald's?",almost all my students raised their hands.I then asked,"So,why does McDonald's make more money than you?"Without doubt,the answer is(32)C:McDonald's is excellent at business systems.The reason why so many talented people are poor is that they focus on building a good hamburger,but know little or nothing about business systems.So this world is filled with talented but (33)Bpeople.Too often,they struggle financially or earn less than they are(34)D of,because they just focus on(35)Atheir skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger.

19.February has long been a month of romance.With the sweet smell of roses in the air,romantic films hit cinemas and love stories fill newspapers and magazines.
     On the 14th day,it is a custom for a b oy to take his girlfriend out to dinner,buy her flowers and chocolates,write poems,sing to her or even spell out her name with rose petals!This is what you see on Valentine's Day,a day named after Valentine who was a priest in the third century Rome.When the emperor (皇帝) decided that single men could become better soldiers than those with wives,he didn't allow marriage.
     But Valentine continued to perform marriage ceremonies for young lovers in secret.When his actions were discovered,the emperor sentenced him to death.While in prison,it is said that Valentine fell in love with the daughter of his prison guard.Before his death,he wrote her a letter,which he signed"From your Valentine",an expression that is still in use today.Valentine died for what he believed in and so he was made a Saint (圣徒),as well as becoming one of history's most romantic characters.
     Nowadays,Valentine's Day is also popular among Chinese young people.Some students are planning to make Valentine's cards for parents,teachers and friends.Others want to hold parties at which they will exchange small gifts and eat heart-shaped cakes.The idea is to have fun and encourage people to share in the spirit of St.Valentine.
21.Why did the emperor in Rome not allow marriage in his country?B

20.With the development of science and technology,the research of robots is becoming more and more popular and useful.Researchers at Oregon State University (OSU) have made important progress in work that should lead toward robots that can not only walk and run very well,but use little energy at the same time.
Studies are moving closer to designing robots that could do dangerous work,create prosthetic limbs(假肢)for humans that work much better than in the past,or even help some people who use wheelchairs to get"walking"abilities.
"Researchers have been working toward robot movement for a long time,"said Jonathan Hurst,a professor at OSU."What we've done is to study what behavior is really possible for a robot."
The movement of humans and other animals is difficult to copy.Using little energy,they can move easily over hard areas,and enjoy balance from muscles.They have different ways to deal with forces,such as holding something hard in place rigidly(牢牢地,坚硬地,不弯曲地),like the act of holding a cup of coffee level during a car ride.In their recent studies,the OSU researchers proved that these two abilities are mutually exclusive(相互排斥的,独有的,独占的).Humans deal with this problem by using pairs of muscles.For a robot,the more it's able to do one of these tasks,the less able it is to do the other.
Presently,robots that can walk and run must be as rigid as possible while walking.But this way uses a lot of energy.The OSU researchers are working toward something that has similar or better performance,but uses far less energy,and is closer to the abilities of animals.
"So there's no reason why we shouldn't be able to build robots with good movement ability,"Hurst said."Clearly this might be useful in highly dangerous situations.But I could also see great improvements possible with prosthetic limbs that work much better than present technology."
61.What does"two abilities"( in Para.4 )meanB.
A.jogging and flying           
B.moving and balancing
C.holding and using little energy      
D.walking and holding
62.Which item have researchers been researching for a long time?B
A.The robots'appearance.
B.The robots'movement.
C.The robots'height.
D.The robots'weight

A.more advanced than before        
B.don't use energy at all.
C.are not successful at all now     
D.can fly

A.can be used in medical science
B.are only used in highly dangerous situations
C.will not be created in the future

17.I ran into a stranger as he passed by."I'm so sorry!"was my reply.Then he said."Excuse me too--I wasn't (21)B  watching  for you."We were very polite,this stranger and I.Then we went(22)C our way after saying goodbye.
But at (23)C,a different story is told.How we treat our loved ones,young and old.Later in the kitchen,as I (24)A our meal,my daughter walked up to me,very still.When I turned,I (25)D  knocked her down."Get out of the way!"I shouted with anger.She stepped away silently,with her little heart  (26)D.I didn't realize how harshly(严厉地) I had spoken.
That night,when I lay (27)B in bed,God's quiet voice spoke to me,"While(28)D with a stranger,you are calm and polite,but with those you love,you are QUICK to excite-Go look around on the kitchen floor,you will find some flowers there by the (29)D.Those are the flowers she brought for you.She (30)C them herself-pink,yellow,and your favorite blue.She stood there quietly,and you never saw the(31)A in her eyes."
By this time,I felt sad and small and now my own tears had begun to fall.I quietly went and knelt(跪)by her(32)B,"Wake up,my dear,"I said."Are these the flowers you picked up for me?"She smiled,"I found them out by the tree.I(33)A them in a napkin,just for you.I knew you'd like them,especially the (34)C."I said,"I am so sorry that I missed them today-and I (35)B have fussed(发牢骚)at you that way."
And she whispered,"Mommy,that's OK-I still love you(36)D."I hugged her and said,"I love  you too,and I love the flowers."
Do you know that:if you die tomorrow,the  (37)A  you are working for could easily replace you in a matter of days.But the family you leave (38)C  will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.And come to think of it,we pour ourselves more into our (39)D  than into our families-an unwise investment indeed.

6.Body language is the quiet,secret and most powerful language of all!it speaks (42)B than words.According to specialists,our bodies send out more(43)D than we realize.In fact,non-verbal communication(非言语交际)takes up about 50% of what we really(44)D.And body language is particularly (45)C when we attempt to communicate across cultures.Indeed,what is called body language is so(46)C a part of us that it's actually often unnoticed.And misunderstandings occur as a result of it.
(47)A,different societies treat the(48)B between people differently.Northern European usually do not like having(49)C contact even with friends,and certainly not with(50)A.People from Latin American countries,(51)B,touch each other quite a lot.Therefore,it's possible that in (52)B,it may look like a Latino is(53)D a Norwegian all over the room.The Latino,trying to express friendship,will keep moving (54)A.The Norwegian,very probably seeing this as pushiness,will keep(55)C-which the Latino will in return regard as (56)D.

13.For anyone who is determined to be a fashion designer,it is not enough to have succeeded in college.The real test is whether they can survive,and become established during their early 20s,making a name for themselves in the real world where business skills can be as important as creativity.
Fashion is a hard business.There is a continuous amount of stress because work is at a constant and extremely fast speed to prepare for the next season's collections.It is extremely competitive and there is the constant need to make attractive advertisements of the latest fashion in newspapers and magazines.It also requires continual freshness because the appetite for new ideas is hard to satisfy."We try to warn people before they come to us about how tough it is."says Lydia Kemeny,the Head of Fashion at St.Martin's School of Art in London."And we point out that drive and determination are absolutely necessary."
This may seem far removed from the popular opinions of fashionable young people spending their time designing pretty dresses.That may well be what they do in their first year of study but a good college won't be slow in introducing students to commercial realities."We don't walk our foot on the blossoming flower of creativity but in the second year we start introducing the restrictions of price,producing ability,marketing and so on."
Almost all fashion design is done to a brief.It is not a form of self-expression as such,although there is certainly room for imagination and creativity.Most young designers are going to end up as employees of a producer or a fashion house and they still need to be able to work within the employers'characteristic style.Even those who are most modern in their own taste of clothes may need to produce designs which are right for the mainstream of market.They also have to be able to work at both the expensive and the cheap end of the market and the challenge to produce good design inexpensively may well be demanding.

(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 12WORDS.)
81.What are equally important if a fashion designer wants to be successful?Business skills and creativity
82.Why does a fashion designer have to be creative?Because consumers'needs keep changing./the appetite for new ideas is hard to satisfy
83.Besides learning to design beautiful dresses,students are also taughtcommercial realities/there strictions of price,producing ability,marketing.
84.According to the last paragraph,the employers'characteristic style and the mainstream of market. are the two things fashion designers have to consider when working as employees.
10.[1]If you lose 12times in a row,will you just give up?Dale Carnegie,a pioneer in public speaking and self-development,kept trying.And he became famous by showing people how to be successful.
[2]Carnegie was born in 1888to a poor family in the central United States.The boy didn't see a train until he was 12years old.In his teens,he had to get up at 3a.m.every day to milk the cows in his family.
[3]When Carnegie first entered college,he felt hopeless because of his clothes and ordinary looks.His mother encouraged him,"Why not try to be better in other things instead of dress and good looks?

[5]But soon Carnegie was seen practicing public speaking on the riverside.His hard work paid off at last.In 1906,Carnegie won a famous speech contest and became well-known.
[6]The young man made his own words come true."Believe that you will succeed,and you will."
[7]In order to share his success,Carnegie opened schools and wrote books.His best-sellers include How to Win Friends and Influence People and How to Stop Worrying and Start Living.More than 50million copies of his books have been put into 38languages.They are still helping people on the way to success.

86.Why did Carnegie feel hopeless when he first entered college?( no more than 8words)Because of his clothes and ordinary looks.
87.What did he try to do after his mother encouraged him?(no more than 10words)He tried to be more active in college.
88.What's the main idea of Paragraph 2?(no more than 10words)His poor family and miserable childhood.
