7．The trip to the United Stated opened my eyes to the fact that there are a lot of similarities as well as differences between American youth and French youth．
The first difference is in appearance．Going around in the U．S．，I found that American youth do not really care about their appearance．In the morning，they choose something in their closet and wear it with another thing，often of different colors and styles，without wondering whether their choices make them look strange．The reason behind this is that they don't care what people look like，but are just interested in their ideas．I think it's great，but it also causes problems．Since they don't care about their appearance，they don't really care about their weight．Often they get fat without realizing it．
There are differences in relationships too．When the American youth fall in love，they don't really think of the future．Also，there are differences in the rules concerning behavior that is allowed．In some respects，the French are more accepting．For example，in America it is generally unacceptable to make physical display of love．Lovers，in theory，can't kiss or hold each other everywhere they want．People think that not showing love in public places is a way to respect others．On the contrary，the French youth can do almost everything they want．
With regard to other types of relationships，there are also big differences．Americans act differently from French people in front of unknown people．When an American girl，for example，arrives in front of people she has never met before，she will talk with them，trying to create a kind of bond between her and this new circle of people．The French girls will just think about rather than really do this kind of thing because they are too shy and lacking in self-confidence．
To finish，I noticed that in American classes，when pupils want to say or ask something，they just do it．In general，they don't really care how the others will judge them．In France，it's not the same case．If somebody wants to ask something，he/she will think about it before speaking up．I appreciate the freedom in Americans'behavior，ideas，and ways of expressing themselves．

8．A lot of us think that we should visit the dentist every six months．Whether those check-ups are really necessary is，however，a matter of debate．In 2000，three-quarters of dentists surveyed in New York were recommending six-monthly check-ups，despite the absence of evidence．Today，many organizations still recommend six-monthly check-ups．But for several decades some have been arguing that the choice of six months as the ideal space between visits is rather questionable．For example，Aubrey Sheiham，a professor of dental public health，published a paper complaining about the lack of evidence for six-monthly check-ups．Almost 40years，he's still making the same point．
Last year the Cochrane Collaboration performed a review of the research that had been done and they were disappointed with what they found．The quality and quantity of the research was simply too poor to back up the idea of six-monthly check-ups．
There's something else we have to bear in mind．Even when a study finds，for example，that children who go to the dentist frequently have fewer fillings，there may be other factors（因素） at work．Those same children may have other advantages； they may eat more healthily and have better quality dental equipment．
How often should you visit the dentist，then？Bodies like Nice，which provides guidance for the National Health Service in England and Wales，say that the frequency of dental visits all depends on the individual．They recommend that children go at least once a year because their teeth can decay（蛀蚀） faster，while adults without problems can wait as long as two years．They even go as far as to say that longer than two years is OK for people who have shown commitment to caring for their teeth．
Where does this leave the rest of us the next time we receive a card in the mail reminding us our next dental visit is due？We'd all like an excuse to go less often，and the good news is that if you don't have any problems you can probably wait a little longer than six months between visits．But exactly how long you can wait before your appointment with the dentist's chair will depend on the assessment you and your dentist make of your own risk．
63．Who supports six-monthly dental check-ups？B
A．All the dentists．
B．Many organizations．
C．Aubrey Sheiham．
D．The National Health Service．
64．The research may not prove the idea of six-monthly check-ups becauseC．
A．the researchers were not qualified
B．the number of the subjects was big
C．there might be other factors at work
D．there was a lack of quality dental equipment
65．We can learn from the last two paragraphs thatB．
A．people often find excuses to avoid the next dental visit
B．the frequency of dental visits varies for different people
C．people should decide when to go to the dentist by themselves
D．the healthier a person is，the less frequent the dental visits are
66．What is the best title for this passage？D
A．How can we go to the dentist less？
B．Why do we need to visit our dentist？
C．Who should go to the dentist frequently？
D．How often do we need to visit our dentist？
5．There is an old Chinese proverb that states"One generation plants the trees；another gets the shade"，and this is how it should be with mothers and daughters．The relationship between a mother and daughter is sometimes confusing．If close，the relationship can be similar to friendship．However，the mother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a friendship．These characteristics include the hierarchy （等级） and unconditional love，which p reclude mothers and daughters from being best friends．
Marina，27years old，says，"I love spending time with my mom，but I wouldn't consider her my best friend．Best friends don't pay for your wedding．Best friends don't remind you how they carried you in their body and gave you life！Best friends don't tell you how wise they are because they have been alive at least 20years longer than you．"This doesn't mean that the mother and daughter relationship can't be very close and satisfying．
While some adult relationships are still troubled，many find them to be extremely rewarding．This generation of mothers and adult daughters has a lot in common which increases the likelihood of shared companionship．Mothers and daughters have always shared the common experience of being homemakers，responsible for maintaining and passing on family values and traditions．Today contemporary mothers and daughters also share the experience of the workforce and technology，which may bring them even closer together．
Best friends may or may not continue to be best friends，but for better or worse，the mother and daughter relationship is permanent，even if they aren't speaking for some unfortunate reason．The mother and daughter relationship is still closer than any other．There is not an equal relationship．Daughters should not feel responsible for their mothers'emotional well-being．It isn't that they don't care deeply about their mothers．It's just that they shouldn't be burdened with their mother's well-being．
The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other．Mothers never stop being mothers，which includes frequently wanting to protect their daughters and often feeling responsible for their happiness．Mother always"trumps"friends．

28．The underlined word"preclude"in Paragraph 1probably means"B"．
A．differ      
B．prevent
C．benefit     
D．change
29．Why do many mothers and adult daughters keep a rewarding relationship？A
A．Because they have a lot of common interests．
B．Because they have common family values．
C．Because they have no generation gap．
D．Because they keep a constant relationship．
30．What do we know from the passage？C
A．The mother and daughter relationship can be replaced by a best friend．
B．A mother's love brings her and her daughter a close friendship．
C．The mother and daughter relationship goes beyond best friends'friendship．
D．Marina has a troubled relationship with her mother．
31．What is the best title for the passage？D
A．How to be a good mother and daughter？
B．Who is a mother's best friend？
C．A friend in need is a friend indeed
D．Can a mother be a daughter's best friend？
12．All over the world mothers and fathers teach their children manners．Other children may have manners that are not like yours．There are all kinds of manners．
Many years ago，children who had good manners were seen and not heard．They kept quite quiet if grown-ups were talking．Today，well-mannered children have more freedom．
Sometimes good manners in one place are bad manners in other places．
Suppose you are a visitor in the land of Mongolia．Some friends ask you to eat with them．What kind of manners do they want you to have？They want you to give a loud"burp"（打嗝）after you finish eating．Burping would show that you liked your food．
In some countries，if you give a loud burp，you are told to say"excuse me，please．"
In many places people like to eat together．But in some parts of Polynesia it is bad manners to be seen eating at all．People show good manners by turning their backs on others while they eat．
What are manners like in an East African town？The people try not to see you．They are being polite．You may see a friend．He may not see you at all．If you are polite，you will sit down beside him．You will wait until he finishes what he is doing．Then he will talk to you．
Suppose you visit a friend in Arabia．You should walk behind the other tents until you come to his tent．If you pass in front of the other tents，you will be asked into each one．People will ask you to eat with them．And it is bad manners if you say no．
Manners are different all over the world．But it is good to know that all manners begin in the same way．People needed ways to show that they wanted to be friends．

28．People turn their backs on others while they eat inA．
A．some parts of Polynesia．
B．an East African town．
C．Mongolia．
D．Arabia．
29．In an East African town，the people try not to see you．This is becauseC．
A．they are busy doing things．
B．they don't want to talk with you．
C．it is good manners．
D．they are waiting for you to talk with them．
30．Which of the following statements is True？A
A．Manners are different all over the world．
B．Children with good manners are quiet．
C．You should not walk behind the tents in Arabia．
D．In Mongolia，you should say"excuse me"when you give a burp after dinner．
31．The best title of the passage should beA．
A．Different kinds of manners．
B．What are good manners？
C．Children's manners are different．
D．When you are in Rome，do as the Romans do．
2．We often close ourselves off when painful events happen in our lives． Instead of letting the world soften us，we let it drive us deeper into ourselves． We try to ignore the hurt and，pain，but we can't hide from ourselves．（36）F   
    The items listed below are four tips you can open your heart more fully and completely．
    1．Breathe into pain
    Whenever a painful situation arises in your life，try to face it instead of running away（37）GWhen the sadness strikes，take a deep breath and accept it．By using our breath we soften our experiences and allow more newness．
    2．  （38）B  
    We're often confused at the next step to take． Actually，we can try a new decision making process．To start this process，we may ask，"Heart，what decision should I make here？What action feels the most right？"See what comes up，then put it into practice and evaluate the outcome．
    3．Spend time alone
    For most of our lives we're surrounded by people：our friends，family members，and strangers．（39）DWhen you spend time in solitude（孤独），you're free from the influences of other people． It might be painful at first，but eventually you'll add a whole new layer of depth and understanding into your life．
    4．Get outside of yourself
       （40）EBut in reality，they actually work hand-in-hand． After you've explored the depths of yourself，you come away with a new understanding．
    Now，it's time to share that-not through telling others，but through being with others．
    A．Have a light heart
    B．Ask your heart what it wants
    C．Is there anything I'm hiding from myself？
    D．How often do we really spend time alone？
    E．This may seem a little contradictory to the last tip．
    F．We should open our hearts and take action to heal the wounds．
    G．When we run away from sadness，it gets stronger and more real．
9．
A．Joint effort in the development of for-profit centers
B．Benefits brought to parents
C．An alternative to the problem of public playgrounds
D．Suitable time arrangement for working parents
E．Parents'worries of the kids safety in the new playground
F．Parents'concern about kids playing time
76．C
As public playgrounds grow increasingly worn and shabby，the for-profit centers offer clean，safe，supervised activities as well as a variety of challenging exercises to develop youngsters'physical fitness，usually for a fee of around﹩5 an hour．"Playgrounds are dirty，not supervised，"says Dick Guggenheimer，owner of the two-month-old Discovery Zone in Yonkers，N．Y．，part of a Kansas City-based chain．"We're indoors； we're padded； parents can feel their child is safe．"
77．A
Discovery Zone has sold 120 outlets in the past 14 months，boasting sandboxes full of brightly colored plastic balls，mazes，obstacle courses，slides and mountains to climb．Now McDonalds is getting into the act．The burger giant is test-marketing a new playground，Leaps&Bounds，in Naperville，Ill．Phys Kids of Wichita has opened one center and has plans to expand．
78．F
American parents are rightly worried about their kids'leisure life．There are 36 million children in the U．S．aged 2 to 11 who watch an average of 24 hours of TV a week and devote less and less energy to active recreation．Nationwide decrease in education budgets are making the problem worse，as gym classes and after-hours sports time get squeezed．Says Discovery Zone president Jack Gunion："We have raised a couple of pure couch potatoes．"
79．D
In an attempt to attract more people，the new facilities cater to （迎合） the concerns of two-earner families，staying open in the evenings，10ng after traditional public playground have grown dark and unusable．At Naperville's Leaps&Bounds，families can play together for﹩4.95 per child，parents free．Fresh-faced assistants，dressed in colorful sport pants and shirts，guide youngsters to appropriate play areas for differing age group．
80．B
These new playgrounds are not meant to be day-care facilities； parents are expected to stay and play with their kids rather than drop them off．But several also provide high-tech baby-sitting services．At some of the Discovery Zones，parents can register their children in special supervised programs，then leave them and slip away for a couple of hours to enjoy a movie or dinner．The most fun of all，though，is getting to do what parents used to do in the days before two-career families and two-hour commutes：play with their kid．That，at least，is old-fashioned，even at per-hour rates．
6．Hawaii is an important trading center and about six million tourists visit there every year．With all that traffic in and out，exotic species（外来物种）have plenty of opportunities to reach the islands．According to biologists，exotic species are the number one threat to the state's economy，environment，and way of life．
The question in Hawaii is，can the invaders be stopped？
Quarantines are one way to do this．Quarantine is the process of isolating animals or products．In Hawaii，pet dogs and cats coming into the state remain in a special holding facility for four months to make sure they don't have rabies（狂犬病） Many agricultural products are also quarantined to see if they are carrying insect pests or plant diseases．
Inspection is a second way to stop biological invaders．At airports，borders，and shipping ports，inspectors examine passengers and their baggage to see if they are carrying exotic species．The inspectors also destroy fruits，vegetables，or other goods that might be carrying harmful pests or diseases．Specially trained dogs also smell goods in the ship for exotic species．
What if an exotic species slips by inspectors？Then efforts are made to control the invader．In Hawaii，government agencies control invaders by setting  livetraps around wildlife shelters and other places．At Haleakala National Park employees have built miles of fences to keep out exotic pigs and goats．For years these animals ate and walked over native rain forest plants，hut the fences have helped reverse（逆 转）this damage．Now native plants grow in places that were bare rock only a short time ago．
In some cases biological control helps to solve the exotic species problems．It is the science of controlling one invader with another．In the early 1900s，several exotic predators（肉食动物） were imported to Hawaii to eat a harmful exotic pest called the sugarcane leafhopper．The insect was destroying 70，000 tons of sugar a year，but the predators brought it under control．
The efforts of these scientists and other people are vitally important．In Hawaii alone，10，000 different species of native plants and animals still need to be protected．Many of these are found nowhere else on earth．By stopping the spread of the biological invaders，we not only protect ourselves，but we also protect the many other native species that make our planet such a special place to live．
63．This passage is mainly aboutA．
A．the methods for preventing exotic species
B．the effects of exotic invasion on Hawaii
C．the problems faced by the Hawaiian economy
D．the role of biologists in controlling native species
64．Hawaii is at a great risk of invasion by exotic species，becauseC．
A．many agriculture products grow there
B．regular inspections of animals are useless
C．millions of people go to Hawaii each year
D．biological control efforts have not worked
65．Which of the following statements is true？A
A．Animals and products are put in quarantines before entering Hawaii．
B．Trained dogs are used to examine passengers and their baggage．
C．Livetraps and fences are set to protect exotic pigs and goats．
D．Some exotic predators are imported to destroy invaders'food．
66．What argument does the author make in the last paragraph？B
A．Hawaii has the most unknown species of plants on earth．
B．Humans have a responsibility to control exotic species．
C．Scientists make the difference to the species protection．
D．Species should be allowed to exist without human interruption．
7．As is shown in a recent study，the way people sleep at night actually determines a lot about the type personality they have．Robert Phipps，a body language expert，has identified four sleeping positions that affect personality．
Phipps found that worriers，those who stress the most，tend to sleep in the fetal（胎儿的） position．He found that this is by far the most common bedtime position，sleeping on their side with knees up and head down．The more we curl up（蜷曲），the more comfort we are seeking，according to Phipps．
The second most common position is the log，indicating stubbornness．People sleep with a straight body，with arms at each side，as if they are standing guard at Buckingham Palace，and these people （the 28 percent who sleep this way） often wake up stiffer（更僵硬） than when they went to sleep．"The longer you sleep like this，the more rigid your thinking is and you can become inflexible，which means you make things harder for yourself，"according to Phipps．
Yearner（向往型的） sleepers are next on the list．About 25 percent of people sleep in this style----on their backs with arms stretched out in front，looking as if they are either chasing a dream or perhaps being chased themselves．Yearners are typically their own worst critics，always expecting great results，explained Phipps．These people often wake up refreshed and eager to face the challenges of the day ahead．
Perhaps the most special sleep style is the freefaller position．This sleep style makes up 17 percent of the population．They sleep face down with arms stretched out．These people，according to Phipps，feel like they have little control over their life．Not only is this the strangest of sleep styles，it also the least comfortable，and people may wake up feeling tired and have no energy．
In conclusion，Phipps has only one more thing to add："A good night's sleep sets you up for the following day and our sleeping positions can determine how we feel when we wake．"
