15.When 1was a boy we used to live across the road from a big hill with huge oak trees growing out of it.When winter arrived,thick,heavy snow would fall,and my two brothers would grab their sleds heading over to the hill for a day of fun.I remember watching them with envy because 1was still too small to go sledding.Finally,one winter 1was considered big enough and joined my brothers as they carried their sleds up the long hill and prepared to ride down it.
The first few trips I rode with one of my brothers and had the time of my life.It was so exhilarating hen the wind whipped across my face as I flew down the hillside on the wooden sled.Near the end of the day 1was overjoyed too when my oldest brother decided to let me try riding the sled all by myself.I climbed on it full of excitement and lay on my stomach.Then with one big push my brother sent me down the snowy hillside.1was doing pretty well too until I hit an old stump hidden by the snow and went off course,straight towards one of those big oak trees.My heart pounded in my chest and I could hear myself screaming.At the last possible second I rolled off and the sled crashed into the tree.I could hear my brothers running down the hill yelling,"You have to steer(操控)!You have to steer!"
Sadly,that wasn't the last time I failed to steer when some obstacle knocked me off course in my life.Many times problems,troubles,and my own failures have sent me crashing into the trees of anger,frustration,and despair.I am still learning that life isn't always safe sledding.I am still learning that it is up to me to steer myself back to love,back to kindness,back to goodness,and back to God.
Life is a trip,but no one ever said it was a smooth ride.Steer well then.Steer straight.Steer your soul towards the light and the love we are all meant for.

5.Everyone would like to be a millionaire(百万富翁),a person with a lot of money,but can you imagine having over﹩30 million and only being 20 years old?Britney Spears from Kentwood,a small town in Louisiana,is only 20 years old.She is a world famous film star with not only﹩30 million but also a $2 million house in LA.At her young age,she can look after her family financially (经济上) all her life.This year is a big year for Britney.She is now on a 31-day tour of the US and every concert is a sell-out.That means she plays in front of a crowd of around 18,000 people every time.It's a tiring schedule but brings her a lot.When touring,she goes to bed around 1 a.m.and then has a lie-in until 1 p.m.the next day.Her philosophy (人生观) is to take care of the body and relax but always make sure you work hard and have fun.Spears is not pleased with only touring and selling nearly 40 million records so she decided to step into the movie business and try a bit of acting.She made an appearance in"Austin Power 3"this year and she is filming a teenage light play that will come out in March 2003.In this movie,she has a starring role.For Britney,acting is another way to express herself and she is enthusiastic about it all.If her movies are successful,her money in the bank is sure to grow by another few million dollars but she does it for the love,not the money,as she herself tells the reporters.

6.People can be addicted to different things,e g.alcohol,drugs,certain foods,or even television.People who have such an addiction are compulsive,i.e they have a very powerful psychological need that they feel they must satisfy.According to psychologists,many people are compulsive spenders; they fee that they must spend money.This compulsion,like most others,is irrational-impossible to explain reasonably.For compulsive spenders who buy on credit,charge accounts are even more exciting than money.In other words,compulsive spenders feel that with credit,they can do anything.Their pleasure in spending enormous amounts is actually greater than the pleasures that they get from the things they buy.
There is even a special psychology of bargain hunting.To save money,of course,most people look for sales,low prices,and discounts.Compulsive bargain hunters,however,often buy things that they don't need just because they arc cheap.They want to believe that they are helping their budgets,but they arc really playing an exciting game:when they can buy something for less than other people,they feel that they are winning.Most people,experts claim,have two reasons for their behavior:a good reason for the things that they do and the real reason.
It is not only scientists,of course,who understand the psychology of spending habits,but also business people.Stores,companies and advertisers use psychology to increase business:they consider people's need for love,power,or influence,their basic values,their beliefs and opinions,and so on in their advertising and sales methods.
Psychologists often use a method called"behavior therapy"to help individuals solve their personal problems.In the same was,they can help people who feel that they have problems with money.

B.in order to satisfy his or her basic needs in life
C.just to meet his or her strong psychological need

B.the purchasing habits of compulsive spenders
C.a special psychology of bargain hunting
D.the use of the psychology of spending habits in business
10.Which of the following statements is true?B
A.All people spend money for exactly the same reason they need to buy things.
B.Business people and advertisers can use the psychology of money to increase sales

C.are really beyond treatment
D.can never get any help to solve their problems with money.
3.How man first learned to invent words is unknown:in other words,the origin(起源)of language is a mystery.All we really know is that man,unlike animals,somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings,actions and things,so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs,called letters,which could be combined to represent those sounds,and which could be written down.These sounds,whether spoken or written in letter,we call words.The power of words,then lies in their connection-the things they bring up before minds.

As it is reported in today's 21st Century,a pedestrian was walked down a street when someone dropped litter from a building nearby.Knocked unconscious,the person was sent to a nearest hospital immediately.
The horrible report has set me thinking.Admittedly,we have the right do whatever we want.Besides,violating others'rights is unacceptable.Dropping litter from a high place is impolite and dangerous,that presents a potential threat to many people.If this behavior continue,everyone is likely to suffer from it.
I think the person throwing litter randomly deserves a severe punish.All of us should devote ourselves to improve ur own behavior.Most importantly,laws concerning should be introduced by the authorities.With our joint efforts,our society will surely become good.And I sincerely hope such cases won't happen any more.

8.How can I carry out a group project?Group projects can be so overwhelming (是人不知所措的),especially when people don't cooperate and follow through."(36)D"To follow this wise advice from expert Julie Hochheiser IIkovich,simply break down that hug project into smaller jobs that can be tracked.Here's exactly how to do it:
●List it.The day the project is assigned,immediately identify the end goal.(37)BThis should include everything from minor tasks to major ones.
●Schedule it.(38)EThis should include meetings,tasks,and deadlines.Assign each person a color and highlight each task with those colors,so it's clear who is doing what.
●Track it.As a team,decide on a project manager who will keep everyone on track,and who you agree is allowed to call team members out if they're not hardworking.(Advice on how to choose:(39)C)
As stressful as group work is,it can actually be beneficial in the long run.At first,groups that work well together can achieve much more than individuals working on their own.And being part of a team will help you develop your interpersonal skills.Also,working with others will help identify your own strengths and weaknesses.(40)F

A.Give feedback on group processes to groups
B.Then list what needs to get done to accomplish it
C.Look for the person with the most organized desk!
D.A half-hour of planning saves a week of stress at the end!
E.Create a timetable for the project and put everything from the list on it.
F.This sense about yourself will be invaluable when you enter the workforce.
G.Group projects can help people develop new approaches to solving problems.
5.Have you ever experienced a natural disaster?The three people share their personal experiences with us?
A flood(洪水) hit our village.
When I was about 14 years old,I lived in Surathanee,the south part of Thailand.A flood hit our village after a rainstorm.The roads were flooded with a lot of water.My family and I worked hard to find things to control the flow of the water.People who lived near the river had to climb up to the roof of their houses.
The flood caused damage to us.For example,my father's rubber(橡胶) business was damaged because his rubber got wet.Besides,many houses were destroyed.
------Anotai Udomwittayakra from ThailandThe hurricane(飓风) was a nightmare.
This story took place about seven years ago.At that time I was only eleven years old,but I could remember it clearly.
During that week,we had to face the most powerful hurricane.I could still hear the noise of the wind blowing on the windows that were shaking.Outside,everything was flying or moving…cars,bikes,trees,and plastic bags.During the whole week,we were not able to go out.All the roads were cut off,and we didn't have running water or communication.Under those conditions,the hardest part was having no contract with the rest of my family living around the island.
---Kevin Parfait from MartiniqueIt was really an earthquake.
One day my friends and I were celebrating our last day in high school at a friend's.When we were all in the pool,I felt dizzy(眩晕的).A few minutes later,my friend said,"It's an earthquake."
It was really an earthquake.Most of the houses built in the mountains were destroyed and many people lost their lives.
---Alexandra Pacheco from Venezuela13.What was the common feature (相同的特点)of the three disasters?A
A.They all caused great damage to people.
B.They all made people lose touch with each other.
C.They all made people have no water for some time
D.They were all the worst in the history.
14.What did Kevin experience in the hurricane?A
A.He was not able to contact his family members.
B.He felt the ground shaking.
C.He saw everything in his house flying.
D.He heard many people crying.
15.What can we know about the earthquake Alexandra described?B
A.Though it was big,it caused little damage.
B.It was not forecast(预报).
C.It made many people die from hunger.
D.It didn't affect the celebration of Alexandra and his friends.
