16．We were the only family with children in the restaurant．Suddenly，my baby Erik became excited．I looked around and saw an old man with old clothes and dirty old shoes．His hair was unwashed．He was waving to my Erik．
"He might hurt my Erik，"I thought．Everyone in the restaurant looked at us and then at the man．Then we decided to leave．My husband went to pay the check and told me to meet him outside．The old man sat between the door and me．
As I walked closer to the man，I turned my back．Suddenly，Erik leaned （倾斜） over my arms，reaching with both arms in a baby's"pick-me-up"position．Before I could stop him，Erik had escaped from my arms to the man's．At the moment a very old smelly man and a very young baby developed a kind of friendship．
Erik，in the act of total trust and love，laid his tiny head upon the man's shoulder．The man closed his eyes，and I saw tears under his lashes．His aged hands were full of pain and hard labor，but he held my baby so gently．A moment later，the old man opened his eyes，passed me my baby and said，"God bless you，madam．You've given me the most precious gift．"
I cried，with my face burning hot．A child saw a soul （心灵），but a mother saw only a suit of clothes．

10．It is very common that many students complain they lack concentration．For example，"I can't concentrate．""My mind wanders when I try to study．"
We all have the ability to concentrate．Think of the times when you were attracted to a super novel or the times when you were playing your guitar or piano．But at other times your mind races from one thing to another．Here are some tips．
Rest from time to time．Remember to take short breaks．Lectures are usually 50minutes long，and that's about the length of time most people can direct their attention to one task．But that's just an average．Your concentration time might be shorter （20-35minutes） or longer （perhaps 90minutes）．When you take a break，you get more oxygen to your brain!When we sit for long periods，blood tends to be pooled in our lower body and legs．Get up and walk around the room for a couple of minutes．As a result，more oxygen is carried to the brain and you can concentrate better．
If you study one subject for a long time，you may find it hard to concentrate．Many students improve their concentration by changing one subject to another every one to two hours．In this way you can pay more attention to something that's different．
Reward yourself．Give yourself a reward when you've completed a task．The task might be small，such as staying with a difficult paper until you've finished．But giving yourself a reward can help you be more interested in doing other tasks．
Increase your activity level．Your concentration wanders more easily if you just read an article straight through．Instead，take the heading for each part and turn it into a question．For this part，that would be，"How can I increase my activity level while studying？"Then study that part to answer that question．Do this routinely．The questions give us a focus for each part and increase our involvement（参与）．

60．According to Paragraph 3，what's the purpose of walking around？B
A．To help us stay fit．
B．To provide the brain with more oxygen
C．To benefit our lower body．
D．To increase our concentration time to 90minutes．
61．What's the best title for Paragraph 4？C
A．Study for one hour each time．
B．Do something difficult．
C．Change subjects．
D．Study in different ways．
62．In the last paragraph，the writer suggests thatD．
A．we just read the heading of some articles
B．we do our best to read an article straight through
C．we ask other people questions about the article we are reading
D．we ask ourselves questions about what we are reading

17．Driving safety is said to be influenced by the songs or music drivers are listening to on the roads．Top ten safest songs to drive to are Come Away With Me by Norah Jones，I Don't Want to Miss a Thing by Aerosmith and Tiny Dancer by Elton John．Each of the songs has an optimum tempo（最佳节奏）for safe driving，imitating the human heartbeat at around 60to 80beats per minute．The Scientist by Coldplay and Justin Timberlake's Cry Me a River also appeared in the top 10．
The study，conducted at London Metropolitan University，also revealed（表明）the type of songs that cause motorists to drive dangerously．Unsurprisingly，music that is noisy increases a driver's heart rate，which can be deadly．Fast beats cause excitement that can lead people to concentrate more on the music than on the road and to speed up to match the beat of the song．Styles of music were also measured during the experiment and revealed differences between male and female drivers．Hip-hop made a female driver drive far more aggressively，speeding up faster than male driver．The heavy metal music caused the fastest driving among males in the group while the dance music had the same effect among women．The male and female drivers who listened to the classical music drove the most irregularly．
The experiment involved eight people driving 500miles each using the confused，com MotorMate app，which monitored driving behaviore through GPS technology．

28．What's does the passage mainly talk about？B
A．Music that drivers prefer to listen to on their way．
B．Songs the drivers should choose to listen to while driving．

14．Too much eating．Too many unhealthy foods．Too many ads for food．Too few activities．Different reasons are given for America's weight problem---a problem increasingly shared by other countries．Almost one-fifth of American children and teenagers are overweight．
Schools have been asked to increase physical education，an important tool for public health．However，a recent study has shown an increase in the number of injuries in P．E．classes．
Researchers say one possible reason for this is a decrease in the number of school nurses．Schools without a nurse on duty may be more likely to send an injured child to a hospital．
Another possible reason for more injuries is a change in the traditional idea of physical education．This"New P．E．"expands the kinds of sports that are taught．But activities that some schools offer now，like rock climbing and skateboarding，can also increase the risks，says Cheryl Richardson，who is with the National Association for Sport and Physical Education（NASPE）．
She also says not all states require P．E．teachers to be specially trained．Untrained teachers could be less likely to recognize unsafe conditions．
Cheryl Richardson points to one of the study's findings-that injuries are often the result of contact with a person or a structure．This tells her that the teachers were not giving each student enough space to move around safely．
Six activities produced seventy percent of all injuries：running，basketball，football，volleyball，rugby and gymnastics．
The researchers say larger class sizes are another possible reason for the increase in injuries．Larger classes can mean less supervision（监督）．The National Association for Sport and Physical Education says twenty to thirty students in a P．E．class should be the limit．

32．What does the passage mainly discuss？C
A．What leads to the weight problem in America．
B．Whether students should have more P．E．classes．
C．Why there have been more injuries in P．E．classes．
D．What kinds of activities are safe for school students．
33．We can know from the third paragraph thatD．
A．nurses are paid more in hospitals than in schools in America．
B．many nurses in American schools don't have good skills．
C．fewer people choose to become a nurse in America．
D．American schools need more school nurses at present．
34．Which of the following statements is TRUE？A
A．P．E．classes become more dangerous for students now in America．
B．Fewer and fewer students are interested in P．E．classes in America．
C．The number of P．E．teachers in schools must be increased now．
D．P．E．classes follow the traditional ideas in physical education．
35．According to Cheryl Richardson，B．
A．students should do more exercise when they are at school
B．teachers are partly responsible for injuries in P．E．classes
C．the equipment for P．E．classes must be improved in all schools．
