Around twenty years ago I was living in Seattle and going through hard times. I could not find   36 work and I found this especially difficult as I had a lot of experience and a Master’s degree.
To my   37  I was driving a school bus to   38  my family. I had been through five   39  with a company and one day they   40  to say I did not get the job. I went to the bus barn, feeling   41 .
Later that afternoon,   42  doing my rounds through a quiet suburban neighborhood I had an inner wave   43  from deep inside me and I thought “Why has my   44  become so hard?” “Give me a sign, I asked, a physical sign, not some inner   45  type of thing.”
Immediately after this internal（内心的） scream I   46  the bus over to drop off a little girl and as she   47  she handed me an earring saying I should keep it   48  somebody looked for it. The   49  was stamped metal, painted black and said “BE HAPPY”. Then it struck me. I had been putting all of my   50  into what was wrong with my life   51  than what was right!
One night there was a phone call for me from the   52  at a large hospital. She asked me whether I   53  do a report for 200 hospital workers. I said   54  and got the job.
My day with the hospital workers   55  very well. I got a great welcome and many more days of work. To this day I KNOW that it was because I changed my attitude to gratitude.

There seems never to have been a civilization without toys, but when and how they developed is unknown．They probably came about just to give children something to do．
In the ancient world, as is today, most boys played with some kinds of toys and most girls with another．In societies where social roles are rigidly determined, boys pattern their play after the activities of their fathers and girls are being prepared, even in play, to step into the roles and responsibilities of the adult world．
What is remarkable about the history of toys is not so much how they changed over the centuries but how much they have remained the same．The changes have been mostly in terms of craftsmanship, mechanics, and technology．It is the universality of toys with regard to their development in all parts of the word and their persistence to the present that is amazing．In Egypt, America, China, Japan and among the Arctic（北极的） people, generally the same kinds of toys appeared．Variations depended on local customs and way of life because toys imitate their surrounding．Nearly every civilization had dolls, little weapons, toy soldiers, tiny animals and vehicles．
Because toys can be generally regarded as a kind of

art form, they have not been subject to technological leaps that characterize inventions for adult use．The progress from the wheel to the cart to the automobile is a direct line of ways up．The progress from a rattle （拨浪鼓） used by a baby in 3,000 BC to one used by an infant today, however, is not characterized by inventiveness．Each rattle is the product of the artistic tastes of the times and subject to the limitations of available materials．

A senior official in charge of Internet security has claimed that the country has become the world' s biggest victim of cyber-attacks.
In an interview with Xinhua over the weekend, Zhou Yonglin, deputy chief of the operations department of China National Computer Network Emergency Response Technical Team ( CNCERT), also dismissed Google' s complaints that hackers traced to China had attacked its servers.
Google has not yet given CNCERT any report on the company' s complaints about the attacks, according to Zhou. "We have been hoping that Google will contact us so that we could have details on this issue and provide them help if necessary.”
Foreign firms such as eBay have turned to CNCERT for cyber security issues in the past year. Last year, the Internet security watchdog received 21,618 complaints from foreign companies, of which 1,095 cases were solved after combining similar cases. These cases included the trojan and phishing attacks (钓鱼攻击) against eBay /Paypal, JPMorgan Chase & Co and MarkMonitor Inc.
China has also sought other countries' help to clear web pages with malicious content. In November 2009, CNCERT reported to its US counterpart, the US-CERT, about two US-registered domain (域) names that were planting trojans on hundreds of Chinese websites. The domain names were shut down within two days of CNCERT’s requests.
With the number of Chinese netizens soaring but their Internet security awareness lagging, hackers have made China their primary target, Zhou said. He accused overseas hackers, especially those in the US, of illegally controlling computers in China by implanting malicious programs including trojans and zombie programs.
Compared with Interact security issues in the US, Japan and the Republic of Korea, it is very serious in China. Last year, 262,000 IP addresses in China were hit by trojans planted by nearly 165,000 overseas IP addresses. Those from the US ranked first, accounting for 16.61 percent.

D. A representative from foreign firms.

A United Nations report says the number of people in the world is expected to reach 6500 million this July. By the middle of the century, the population could reach more than 9000 million. That would be an increase of 40﹪.
These numbers are fresh estimates for a report on world population change from 1950 to 2050. Hania Zlotnik is director of the U.N. Population Division. She says the world has added nearly 500 million people in the last six years.
But, in her words, "the good news is that new estimates show that it will take a little longer" to add the next 500 million. Mizz Zlotnik says this will probably happen by 2013.
The U.N. report says most population growth by 2050 will take place in less developed countries. Their population is expected to increase from 5000 million today to almost 8000 million. The population of more developed nations is expected to stay about the same, at just over 1000 million.
The report says nine countries will be responsible for about half the world population increase by 2050. These include Bangladesh, China, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia and India. The others are Nigeria, Pakistan, Uganda and the United States.
Twelve countries are expected to have populations at least three times the size now. These include Afghanistan, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Chad, Congo and the Democratic Republic of Congo, and East Timor. The others are Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mali, Niger and Uganda.
The report says birth rates remain low in forty-four developed countries.
Today, worldwide, there is an average of two-point-six children per woman. This number is expected to fall to just over two children per woman in 2050. But U.N. population experts note that they cannot be sure which way birth rates will go in the future.
The U.N. report also notes that AIDS has increased death rates and slowed population growth in sixty countries. The area most affected by the disease is Southern Africa.
There, how long people live has fallen from an average of sixty-two years in 1995 to forty-eight now. Researchers believe life expectancy will fall to forty-three years by 2015, then begin a slow recovery.
67. Which of the following statements is true?
A. The population growth will slow down in the next few years.
B. Most population growth will take place in developed countries.
C. There is an average of 2.6 children per woman in developed countries.
D. The area most affected by AIDS is Uganda.
68. Which one is the best title of this passage?
A. AIDS slowed population growth.
B. Most population growth will take place in less developed countries.
C. Population growth and death rate.
D. UN world population report.
69．The author believes that the population growth results from_______
A. The birth rate in developed countries is too high.
B. The birth rate in developing countries is too high.
C. AIDS hit only a few countries.
D. A decrease in death rate.
70. Which of the following best describe the author’s attitude towards the rapid population growth?
A. sympathetic B. happy C. optimistic D. critical

.I really appreciate _______to help, but I am sure I can manage myself.
