(37)C We simply mean to say,don't take a bath.Yes,conservation of water is super essential.A day or two without a bath won't harm you,but it will certainly do a lot of good to our planet.A daily shower isn't a matter of health; it's a matter of comfort.Showering every day can wash away the natural oils that our skin and hair need.
(38)A
This is one of the best things you can do.Why?Because it will do you good too.Join other like-minded individuals in a common task.If you have the time,there are lots of opportunities out there to pitch in,for instance,planting trees,cleaning a park or simply coming up with ways you can preserve mother Earth.
Green-up your home
This is one of the most common things that people do whenever Earth Day rolls around,that is,switch off their lights.(39)F Conserve energy by switching off all power and/or electricity points whenever they are not in use.In addition,take out all the plugs from plug points even after switching them off.
Pledge(保证)to do more every day

2.The word advertising refers to any kind of public announcement that brings products and  services to the attention 0f people.Throughout history,advertising has been all effective way to promote(促进)the trading and selling of goods.In the Middle Ages,merchants ants employed"town criers"to read public messages aloud to promote their goods.When printing was invented in the fifteenth century,pages of advertisements(ads)could be printed easily and were either hung in public places  or put in books.
    By the end of the seventeenth century,when newspapers were beginning to be read by more  people,printed materials became all important way to promote products and services.The London Gazette was the first newspaper to set aside a place just for advertising.This was SO successful that by the end of the century several companies started businesses for the purpose of making newspaper ads for merchants.
    Advertising spread quickly throughout the eighteenth century.Ad writers were starting to pay more attention to the design of the ad text.Everything,from clothes to drinks,was promoted with clever methods such as repetition of the firm's name or product,words organized in eye-Catching patterns,the use of pretty pictures and expressions easy to remember.
     Near the end of the nineteenth century,companies that were devoted to the production of ads came to be known as"advertising agencies(广告商)."The agencies developed new ways to get  people to think of themselves as members of a group.Throughout the twentieth century,advertising agencies promoted consumerism(消费主义)as a way of life,spreading the belief that people could be happy only if they bought the"righ"products.

7.Nowadays people realize the importance of one's intelligence,(25)while/butthey neglect non-intelligence factors.According to a study,American psychologists discovered the main cause of differences in intelligence is not intelligence itself,but non-intelligence factors including the desire(26)to learn(learn),will-power and self-confidence.
Quite a number of teachers and parents don't pay attention to (27)cultivating(cultivate) these factors.Some parents are worried(28)when/iftheir children fail to do well in their studies.They blame either genetic factors,state of poor nutrition,or laziness,but they never take into consideration these non-intelligence factors.Some teachers don't inquire into such reasons as why students do poorly.They simply give them more courses and exercises,or even punish or laugh at them.After all these,students lose self-confidence.Some give themselves up as hopeless,feeling defeated.(29)Othersmay take wrong or evil ways because they are sick of learning.An investigation of more than 1,000 middle school students showed that 46.5% of them were afraid of learning (30)because ofexaminations; and 10.3% were sick of learning.
It is clear that lack of cultivation of non-intelligence factors(31)has been/is(be) a main barrier to intelligence development in teenagers.It even causes an imbalance between physiological and psychological development among students.
Some experts have put forward proposals about(32)howparents and teachers cultivate students'non-intelligence factors.They should be teenagers'best psychologist and fully understand them and they can help them to pursue the objectives of learning,increasing their interests in their studies and toughening their willpower.
2.American cities are similar to other cities around the world:In every country,cities reflect the values of the culture.American cities are changing,just as American society is changing.
After World WarⅡ,the population of most large American cities decreased; however,the population shifts(转移)to and from the city reflect the changing values of American society.In the late 1940s and early 1950s,city residents(居民)became wealthier.They had more children so they needed more space.They moved out of their apartments in the city to buy their own homes.They bought houses in the suburbs(郊区).
Now things are changing,The children of the people who left the cities in the 1950s are now adults.Many,unlike their parents,want to live in the cities.They continue to move to Sun Belt cities and older ones of the Northeast and Midwest.Many young professionals are moving back into the city.They prefer the city to the suburbs because their jobs are there; or they just enjoy the excitement and possibilities that the city offers.
This population shift is bringing problems as well as benefits.Countless poor people must leave their apartments in the city because the owners want to sell the buildings or make apartments for sale instead of for rent.In the 1950s,many poor people did not have enough money to move to the suburbs; now many of these same people do not have enough money to stay in the cities.
Only a few years ago,people thought that the older American cities were dying.Some city residents now see a bright,new future.Others see only problems and conflicts.One thing is sure:many dying cities are alive again.

66.According to the 4th paragraph,a great many poor people in American citiesA
A.are faced with housing problems
B.are forced to move to the suburbs

D.need more money for daily expenses
67.We can conclude from the text thatB

6.Sometimes just when we need the power of miracles to change our beliefs,they materialize in the places we'd least expect.They can come to us as a drastic alteration in our physical reality or as a simple synchronicity in our lives.Sometimes they're big and can't be missed Other times they're so subtle that if we aren't aware,we may miss them altogether.They can come from the lips of a stranger we suddenly and mysteriously encounter at just the right instant.If we listen carefully,we'll always hear the right words,at the right time,to dazzle us into a realization of something that we may have failed to notice only moments before.
On a cold January afternoon in 1989,I was hiking up the trail that leads to the top of Egypt's Mt.Horeb.I'd spent the day at St.Catherine's Monastery and wanted to get to the peak by sunset to see the valley below.As I was winding up the narrow path,I'd occasionally see other hikers who were coming down from a day on the mountain.While they would generally pass with simply a nod or a greeting in another language,there was one man that day who did neither.
I saw him coming from the last switchback on the trail that led to the backside of the mountain.As he got closer,I could see that he was dressed differently from the other hikers I'd seen.Rather than the high-tech fabrics and styles that had been the norm,this man was wearing traditional Egyptian clothing.He wore a tattered,rust-colored galabia and obviously old and thick-soled sandals that were covered in dust.What made his appearance so odd,though,was that the man didn't even appear to be Egyptian!He was a small-framed Asian man,had very little hair,and was wearing round,wire-rimmed glasses.
As we neared one another,I was the first to speak."Hello,"I said,stopping on the trail for a moment to catch my breath.Not a sound came from the man as he walked closer.I thought that maybe he hadn't heard me or the wind had carried my voice away from him in another direction.Suddenly he stopped directly in front of me on the high side of the trail,looked up from the ground,and spoke a single sentence to me in English,"Sometimes you don't know what you have lost until you've lost it."As I took in what I had just heard,he simply stepped around me and continued his descent down the trail.
That moment in my life was a small miracle.The reason is less about what the man said and more about the timing and the context.The year was 1989,and the Cold War was drawing to a close.What the man on the trail couldn't have known is that it was during my Egyptian pilgrimage,and specifically during my hike to the top of Moses's mountain,that I'd set the time aside to make decisions that would affect my career in the defense industry,my friends,my family,and,ultimately,my life.
I had to ask myself what the chances were of an Asian man dressed in an Egyptian galabia coming down from the top of this historic mountain just when I was walking up,stopping before me,and offering his wisdom,seemingly from out of nowhere.My answer to  was easy:the odds were slim to none!In an encounter that lasted less than two minutes on a mountain halfway around the world from my home,a total stranger had brought clarity,and the hint of a warning,regarding the huge changes that I would make within a matter of days.In my way of thinking,that's a miracle.
I suspect that we all experience small miracles in our lives every day.Sometimes we have the wisdom and the courage to recognize them for what they are.In the moments when we don't,that's okay as well.It seems that our miracles have a way of coming back to us again and again.And each time they do,they become a little less subtle,until we can't possibly miss the message that they bring to our lives!
The key is that they're everywhere and occur every day for different reasons,in response to the different needs that we may have in the moment.Our job may be less about questioning the extraordinary things that happen in our daily lives and more about accepting the gifts they bring.

7.It's acknowledged that there are two biggest wealth in life:your talent and your time.Talent increases and time decreases.Our life,in a way,is trading time with talents.Wasting time means our time decreases while our talents do not increase.(36)C
•Get to know how you use your usual time and make improvements
Take a week and write down what you do every 30minutes every day and make it into categories.After a week's recording,you'll see which part consumes most of the time.(37)B  And you could come up with a revised timetable for your next week.
•Use fragment(碎片) times and"dead times"
By time recording,you'll be amazed how much time you've wasted in waiting for the bus,queuing,walking,etc.You could really put that time to better use.(38)E Use your fragment times for insignificant matters so that you could have more time for things that really matter.
•(39)D
There're always things to be done every day,and the thing we could do is to identify whether it's urgent or important.The things you need to do for the day rest only on the urgent as well as important things.Don't become slaves to urgent but unimportant things.
••Use the 20%--80% principle
At the most efficient time,20% of time could generate 80% of efficiency and on the contrary,at the least efficient time,80% of the time could only generate 20% of efficiency.We should be doing important works at the most efficient time.That time period differs from person to person,(40)F Yet,generally speaking,it's round 10in the morning and 3in the afternoon.
After being familiar with those tips,the next thing would be to implement and hold on to it.Do the right thing at the right time,and we shall make our time to its fullest.
A.Finish as many tasks as possible.
B.Make an analysis about the ways you could improve your efficiency.
C.That is why we shall save every second and make it count.
D.First things first.
E.Like memorizing English words or making necessary phone calls.
F.Depending on your mentality and physical condition.
G.But everyone has a peak effect time.
