One family agreed with the idea that money really can buy happiness -- send the kids to summer camp! So they sent their son Joey away for the season．He was  36 as happy about the arrangement as his  37 , for after about three weeks, they finally received a  38 ．Both parents huddled together to read it．After a moment Joey’s mother     39  and said to her husband, “Well, it certainly is Joey.”

The card read, “Dear Mum and Dad, they are  40 everyone write home．Love, Joey.”

At times, families may need some  41 ．They also need togetherness lots of it．And those of us who live in families  42  that our family is far from 43  , even on the best of days．But perfection is not  44  for a strong family life.

What is required, according to family expert Nick Stinnett, are three basics．“When you have a strong  45  life,” he said, “you receive the  46  that you are loved, that you are  47  , that you are important．The  48  intake （吸收） of love and affection and respect…, gives you inner resources to deal with life more  49  .

Love, affection and  50  ――a dynamic trio （ 三重奏） in any strong family．Where there is love, there is a place of  51  ．Where there is affection, there is a place of  52 ．And where there is respect, there is a place where the mind and spirit can  53  ．

Not all of us live in family groups．But we probably come from families and there just may be a family in our future.

E
“Life is speeding up. Everyone is getting unwell.”
This may sound like something someone would say today. But in fact, an unknown citizen who lived in Rome in AD 52 wrote it.
We all love new inventions. They are exciting, amazing and can even change our lives.
But have all these developments really improve the quality of our lives?
Picture this: You’re rushing to finish your homework on the computer. Your mobile phone rings, a QQ message from your friend appears on the screen, the noise from the television is getting louder and louder. Suddenly the computer goes blank and you lose all your work. Now you have to stay up all night to get it done. How calm and happy do you feel?
Inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often leave us feeling stressed and tired. Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities, who have not telephones, no cars, not even any electricity often seem to be happier? Perhaps because they lead simpler lives.
One family in the UK went “back in time” to see what life was like without all the inventions we have today. The grandparents, with their daughter, and grandsons Benjamin, 10, and Tomas, 7, spent nine weeks in a 1940s house. They had no washing machine, microwave, computer or mobile phones.
The grandmother, Lyn, said, “It was hard physically, but not mentally.” She believed life was less materialistic. “The more things you have, the more difficult life becomes,” She said. The boys said they fought less to fight over, such as their computer. Benjamin also noticed that his grandmother had changed from being a “trendy（时髦的）, beer-drinking granny, to one who cooked things.”
Here are some simple ways to beat the stress often caused by our inventions!
Don’t be available all the time. Turn off your mobile phone at certain times of the day. Don’t check your e-mail every day.
Don’t reply to somebody as soon as they leave a text message just because you can. It may be fun at first, but it soon gets annoying.
72．The passage is mainly about        .
A．problem with technology
B．improvements of our life with technology

A．share a truth about life
B．tell us what life was like long time ago
C．make us wonder what causes such a thing to happen
D．point out that you experience some big problems and they may be the same

A．they liked to live simple lives
B．they were curious about how people lived without modern inventions

In urban China，where English is almost the official second language，many Chinese people have learned to speak as professionally as native speakers. However they may have an accent and make a few minor grammatical mistakes.Years ago many people used a certain Chinese-English dictionary or a series of textbooks and accepted their teachings. Consequently，language learners developed a peculiar vocabulary. Some people call these word choices “Chinglish”. The words are not incorrect—native speakers still understand them—but they stand in the way of using standard English. Here are some common examples, both from written and spoken English:
Clever (adj.): Native speakers usually say “smart” instead. “Smart” is a broader and more common word. “Clever” suggests an ability to think your way out of a specific problem or take advantage of a specific situation. Being smart serves you for life.
Examination(n.): Use “exam”, the short form of it, or the more common word, “test”. (The verb for all three words is “take”.) Another word you may hear is “quiz”. It means a short and relatively unimportant test that the teacher often gives as a surprise.
Film: This is largely a technical word. The common term is “movie”. (Native speakers often say “short film for the movie”.)
House (n.): a stand-alone building with its own street entrance that is home to one family. A home in a building full of families is an “apartment” or a “flat”. When in doubt, just say “home”.
Puzzled (adj.): We use this word to describe mild reactions to difficult math problems, and not even very often for this purpose (we say “I’m stumped” or “I have no idea” instead). But when we’re addressing a life issue such as whether to pursue (从事) a graduate education or go straight to work, we say “confused”. This is a stronger word as well as a more common one.
49. The writer wrote this passage to______.
A. prove there are so many Chinese people learning English in a wrong way
B. teach us to choose correct and exact English words to express ourselves
C. tell people that if we want to speak English as well as native speakers we must memorize as many English words as possible
D. explain what Chinglish is
50. According to the passage, which of the following is more common?

C. Tom is cleverer than his brother.
D. He felt confused whether he would go abroad for further study.

When a dog bites a man, it usually doesn’t make news. However, this saying change when Beijing and several other Chinese cities announced the “Civilized Dog Raising” campaign in November.

The government will require Beijingers to get licenses for their dogs, and will enforce the one-dog, one-family policy. Police say the "one-dog policy" is aimed at reducing the number of dog bites and lowering the risk of rabies. According to the Ministry of Health, rabies has become the top infectious disease in China. Dangerous dogs and dogs taller than 35 centimeters, such as Great Danes, have been banned from urban areas.

Pet owners are also required to clean up their dog's droppings and make sure dogs are leashed (拴着), especially in public areas. Some public areas, such as banks, are closed to dogs entirely.

Dogs are regarded as man's best friend and the history of raising dogs can be traced back to the stone age. It therefore seems sad that dogs are unwelcome in Beijing. But it is not the case that Beijingers dislike dogs. Actually, there are many dog lovers in Beijing. The city now has more than 550,000 registered dogs, up 20 percent from the previous year.

The problem is, actually, about living space. Different from many Westerners, most Beijingers live in urban apartment buildings, not houses in the suburbs. There is very limited open space for walking dogs. The barking, the waste, and unleashed dogs in buildings, elevators and places people gather can cause fear, fights and frustration.

Beijing is not the only city to have a dog problem. Paris, London, New York and Vienna all face similar challenges and have common rules for dogs and their owners.

1.Which of the following may be a suitable title for the story?

    A．Man's Best Friend                           B．Civilized Dog Raising

    C．No Room For Dogs                  D．When A Dog Bites A Man

2.What can be inferred from the above passage?

    A．If a dog bites a man, it will become an important news item.

    B．Rabies is the most serious infectious disease in Beijing.

    C．Soon there will be no dangerous dogs or dogs taller than 35 centimetres in Beijing.

    D．Beijing has trouble accommodating so many dogs.

3.According to the passage, what should you NOT do if you are a dog owner in Beijing?

    A．Walk your dog in public places.

    B．Have more than one dog.

       C．Raise your dog in urban apartment buildings.

       D．Let your dog bark in places where people gather.

4.In the writer's opinion, the main cause of the dog problem in Beijing is _____________.

    A．the limited living space in urban areas

    B．its lack of rules for dogs and their owners

    C．Beijingers and westerners having different lifestyles

    D．the increasing number of dangerous dogs
