B
I am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.
I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up.I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows(誓约) mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.
So here's what I wanted to tell you today: Get a life. A real life,not a desire of the next promotion(提升), the bigger paycheck, the larger house.
Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure(空闲), it is work.Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.
It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, our minutes. It is so easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.
I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned.
By telling them this:  Read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy.And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion as it ought to be lived.
50.The best title of this passage probably is        
A.Love your friends               B.Live a real life
C.Don't waste time                         D.Be a good mother and wife
51.How did the author form her view of life?       
A.Through working and social experience.      
B.By learning from her friends.
C.Through an unfortunate experience.

author really means that people tend to_____.
A.make a living rather than live a real life  
B.work rather than enjoy life 
C.waste a lot in life
D.forget the most important lessons in life          
53.What's the author's attitude toward work?       
A.Do it well to serve others.
B.To earn enough money to make life better.

D.Don't let it affect your real life.

B
I’m a pig, and my son is a rabbit. I have snakes for daughters, and my wife, believe it or not, is a dragon! Do I live in a zoo? No, of course not! I am talking about Chinese zodiac signs. Depending on the year of your birth, each person has an animal for a sign. That’s why I am a pig and my wife is a dragon. If you, like me, were born in the year of the pig, then you are brave, thoughtful and loyal. The year of the pig is filled with good fortune.
  Now let’s take a closer look at this interesting animal.
  Pigs were first raised by man about 9,000 years ago, and are still a very common farm animal in many parts of the world. We don’t just use pigs for their meat — almost every part of the animal is used. The hair is used for artists’ brushes. The fat is used to make floor wax, rubber and plastics.
 Pigs have also been important in the world of entertainment. In 1995 the film ‘Babe’ starred a loveable talking pig as its main character. The film won an Oscar and was nominated for 6 more. In England you can even go to watch pig racing. A farmer, Rob Shepherd, has been raising money for charity by holding pig races on his farm. The events have been very successful. People don’t just want to eat pigs, it seems!
 Pigs also play an important role in the English language. For example, if someone says that he will travel to the sun one day, you can say “pigs might fly!” to him. Hungry? Well then, you can “pig out” and eat lots of food. And what if someone rescues you? Well, you can say that they “saved your bacon”.
44. The writer wrote the first paragraph in a ______ tone.
  A. sad      B. confused      C. serious     D. humorous
45. We may know from the passage that ______.
  A. people in England like pigs more than other animals
  B. pigs are more useful than ordinary people imagine
  C. pigs are the first animals raised by man
  D. more people don’t want to eat pigs now
46. The underlined sentence “pigs might fly!” in the fifth paragraph means “______”.
  A. What you have just said is impossible
  B. Pigs are great animals
  C. I don’t understand your words
  D. I can’t agree with you more
47. Which diagram shows the structure of the passage?
        
     A         B        C          D

     As a foreigner, I often hear the Chinese calling me "laowai". If I could not speak Chinese or if I had no
understanding of Asian customs, I might be angry when I am called a "laowai". But having lived in the
Philippines and China's Taiwan Province teaching English for several years, I have come to China with a
different view from most other foreign teachers here. In such situations, I just answer back in standard
Chinese:"Ni zenmo zhidao wo shi waiguoren? (How do you know I'm a foreigner? )" When I hear people
shout out "hello" in a more impolite way and then laugh, I reply in Chinese with "Ni de yingyu bi wo de hao.
(Your English is better than mine.)"
     Speaking Chinese is a way of living an easier life in China. As an English teacher at Hubei University in
Wuhan, I was once invited by a student to spend the weekend with his family. Because I can speak Chinese
quite freely, I was able to talk with my student's entire family. From my personal experience, I knew that the
Chinese have a "gift" for making foreigners in China feel right at home. That fun-filled weekend I spent with
my student's family in Caidian, a small suburb of Wuhan, just showed that my idea was right.
     It was an experience I will never forget.
     Americans have a saying: If you can't beat them, then join them.The secret to feeling at home with the
Chinese people isn't to try to make them change over to Western ways. The secret is to become one of them.
Just go with the flow, or don't take things too seriously. In this way you will surely feel at home in China.
     If you no longer emphasize (强调) our differences from the Chinese, you will be more willing to
concentrate on what "big noses" and "small noses" have in common.
