A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had  41 _ a beautiful sports car in a showroom, and knowing his father could well  42   it, he told him that was all he wanted.
As Graduation Day came near, the young man awaited 43 that his father had bought the car. 44  , on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his  45  study room. His father told him how  46  he was to have such a fine son, and told him how  47  he loved him. He handed his son a beautifully wrapped (包装)  48  box.                                                        
Curious, and somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and  49  a lovely, leather-bound (皮纸封面) Bible,  50  the young man’s name pressed in gold.  51 , he raised his voice to his father, and said “With  52  your money, you give me a Bible?” and stormed out of the house.
Many years passed and the young man was very successful in  53 . He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father was very  54 , and thought perhaps he should go to him. He had not seen him  55  that graduation day.
Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram  56  his father had passed away, and willed all his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and  57 things.
When he arrived at his father’s house, sudden  58   and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his father’s important papers and saw the still gift-wrapped Bible  59  as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages.
Suddenly, a car key dropped from the back of the  60  . It had a tag (标签) with the date of his graduation on it, and the words PAID IN FULL.

Everyone has got two personalities一the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real．You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you can control your behavior, but when you’re asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you．In a normal night，of course，people frequently change their position．The important position is the one that you go to sleep in．
●If you go to sleep on your back，you’re a very open person．You normally trust peop1e and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas．You don’t like to upset people，so you never express your real feelings．You’re quite shy and you aren’t very confident．
●If you sleep on your stomach，you are a rather secretive person．You worry a lot and you’re always easily upset．You’re very stubborn，but you aren’t very ambitious．You usually live for today not for tomorrow．This means that you enjoy having a good time.
●If you sleep on curling (蜷缩) up，you are probably a very nervous person．You have a low opinion of yourself and so you’re often defensive．You’re shy and you don’t normally like meeting people．You prefer to ________________________________.
●If you sleep on your side，you have usually got a well-balanced personality．You know your strengths and weakness．You’re usually careful．You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel anxious，but you don’t often get depressed．You always say what you think even if it annoys people．

Are you a man or a mouse? When people ask this question they want to know if you think you are a brave person or a coward(胆小鬼). But you will never really know the answer to that question until you are tested in real life. Some people think they are brave, but when they come face to face with real danger, they act like cowards. Other people think of themselves as cowardly, but when they meet danger, they act like heroes.?
Lenny Sputnik had always thought of himself as a nervous person. He got worried before examinations. He worried about his job and his health. All he wanted in life was to be safe and healthy. Then, on 15th January 1982, a plane crashed into the Potomac River in Washington. Lenny went to the river to see what was happening. Then he saw a woman in the ice-cold water. Suddenly Lenny did not feel afraid. He kept very calm and did a very courageous thing. He jumped into the Potomac, swam to the woman, and kept her head above the water. Seventy-eight people died that day. Thanks to Lenny Sputnik, it was not seventy-nine.?
When you are in a very dangerous situation and feel afraid, the body automatically produces a chemical in the blood. This chemical is called adrenalin. With adrenalin in the blood system, you actually feel stronger and are ready to fight or run away. However, when you are completely terrified, the body can produce too much adrenalin. When this happens, the muscles become very hard and you find that you cannot move at all. You are then disabled with fear. That is why, when we are very frightened, we sometimes say that we are ‘petrified’. This word comes from the Greek word ‘peters’ which means ‘stone’. We are so frightened we have become like stone.?
小题1: According to the writer's opinion, a brave person can be judged by ______
A．his wordsB．his thought?C．his actionD．his looks?
小题2:From what Lenny did, we can conclude that __________?
A．Lenny had a good chanceB．Lenny was brave?
C．Lenny liked swimmingD．Lenny wanted to be a hero?
小题3: In great danger, a hero always keeps __________.?
A．nervousB．worried?C．calmD．disappointed?
小题4: Adrenalin in our body is ________.?
A．harmfulB．useless?C．changeableD．dangerous?
小题5:If a person's body produces too much adrenaline, he will ________.?
A．become strongerB．lose his feeling and power?
C．become a stoneD．become a hero
Scientists have long understood the key role that oceans play in controlling the Earth’s climate. Oceans cover 70 per cent of the surface of the globe and store a thousand times more heat than the atmosphere does. What’s newer is the understanding of how this key component(组成部分) of our climate system responds to global warming.
A brake on global warming—for now
One of the oceans’ most important climate functions is absorbing heat and carbon dioxide(CO2), one of the gases that causes global warming. Acting as something absorbing heat, the oceans have absorbed huge amounts of heat and CO2 in the last forty years.
Fujita explains, “the oceans are saving us from faster climate change—they are putting a brake on the climate system.”
“That’s the good news,” he adds. “The bad news is that the oceans only slow the atmospheric warming. Once the oceans come to balance with a greenhouse-gas warmed earth, the extreme heat will remain in the atmosphere and things will get much hotter.” But where and how the oceans release this slowly increased heat is uncertain. And as the ocean stores heat, fragile(脆弱的) underwater ecosystems are struggling.
The most recent scientific report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC) also notes with concern that the ocean is acidifying(酸化) because of increased absorption of atmospheric CO2. and thus causing a threat to shell-forming species.  Sharp increase in CO2 levels will cause further acidification of the ocean.
Currents distributing heat
Another important role the oceans play is that of distributor(散布者). Oceans deliver heat and life-sustaining nutrition around the globe. Just as blood tube bring oxygen and nutrition to cells in the human body, the ocean’s currents carry oxygen, nutrients and heat throughout the Earth. The ocean distributes 25 to 50 per cent of energy the planet receives from the sun. For example, the Gulf Stream carries heat across the Atlantic. This warm current gives northwestern European a milder climate that it would normally have so far north. A change to the ocean’s circulation patterns could throw Europe into a colder period, even as the rest of the world is experiencing warmer temperatures.
小题1: We can infer from the passage that _______.
A．the oceans cause global warmingB．the oceans stop global warming
C．the oceans release nutrients and heatD．the ocean ecosystems face more dangers
小题2: From the passage we can learn that ocean’s currents _______.
  1. produce oxygen and nutrients around     
  2. absorb 25-50% of the energy from the sun
  3. distribute the atmosphere hotter        
D.  change the ocean’s circulation patterns
小题3: Which of the following are the results of the ocean absorbing heat and CO2?
a. It causes further acidification.        
b. It makes the atmosphere hotter.
c. It balances the oceans with a green-house gas. 
d. It affects shell-forming species.  
e. It makes the oceans act as a heat sponge.           
f. It controls the Earth’s climate.
A．a-c-fB．a-d-fC．b-d-eD．b-c-e
小题4: If the ocean’s circulation pattern changed, ______.
A．Asia would suffer a hotter climate.
B．Europe would become hotter
C．the rest of the world would become warmer.
D．the climate of Europe would become colder.
We can make mistakes at any age．Some mistakes we make are about money．But most mistakes are about people．One might say, "Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?" "When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?" When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad．
Why do we go wrong about our friends? Sometimes what people want to say hides their real meaning．And if we don't really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words． Suppose someone tells you, "You're a lucky dog．" Is he really on your side? If he says, "You are a lucky guy", that's being friendly．But if he says "a lucky dog", there's a bit of envy in those words．Maybe he doesn't see it himself．But he puts you down a little if he brings in the "dog"．What he may be saying is that he doesn't think you deserve your luck．
"Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for" is another noise that says one thing and means another．It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole．But is he trying to? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn't important．It's telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven't got a date for Saturday night．
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone's words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking．Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice, his posture, or the look in his eyes? Stop and think．The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake．
Therefore, when you hear someone saying, please try to know what he really means．Don't just listen to what he says with your ears but feel the words he uses with your head．In this way you may make fewer mistakes．

A few years ago I was shopping with a friend and his 12-year-old daughter in downtown San Francisco．A street musician，whom my friend happened to know from his own musician day，was playing the saxophone on a street corner．His name was Clifford，and he had attracted a large crowd with his performance．After he finished，my friend introduced him to me and his daughter．Clifford asked her if she played any instrument．When she replied that she was taking trumpet (小号) lessons and played in her junior high school band，he said，“That’s fine，little lady．Learn your instrument well and you can play anything．”Somehow these simple yet wise words struck me as suitable not only for a trumpet player but  also for a reader．If you learn to read well，you can read anything you want—not just newspapers and magazines，but more difficult material like philosophy，film criticism，military history—whatever interests you as your confidence grows．You would not be limited in any way．If you have the vocabulary –or    at least a good dictionary near at hand—you can pick up a book，concentrate on it, and make sense of the writer’s words．
In the United States，reading instruction often ends at elementary school，so students sometimes have difficulty as they progress through school．They must take their assignments，armed only with their elementary，school reading skills．The result，too often，is frustration (挫折) and loss of confidence．And the assigned reading in your college courses will be even greater than they were in high school．Developing Reading Skills is designed to accomplish several tasks：to show you the skills that will enable you to read with greater comprehension，to help you deal with reading assignment with confidence，and to teach you to become an active reader．
小题1:The talk between the girl and Clifford serves as an introduction to      ．
A．the importance of reading
B．the connection between playing instruments and reading
C．the necessity of learning to play an instrument
D．the variety of reading material
小题2:It can be inferred from the story that    ．
A．Clifford was good at playing the saxophone
B．the writer’s friend was once a street musician
C．the 12-year-old girl played the trumpet very poorly
D．Clifford was a good music teacher
小题3:We can infer from the last paragraph that Developing Reading Skills    ．
A．is directed to elementary school students B．centers around vocabulary building skills
C．aims at helping students read better D．offers elementary reading skills
小题4:With good reading skills，you can    ．
A．understand anything you read without difficulty
B．work out the writer’s meaning if only you concentrate on the book
C．understand what you read with the help of a good dictionary
D．Concentrate on whatever you read

Butter is bad for you—so is margarine（人造黄油）．Coffee raises blood pressure, but may protect against cancer．Alcohol is okay, but only if it's wine．The confusing studies on what is safe to eat and drink are enough to make it impossible for anyone to understand what "good food" is．
Take the margarine-butter debate for example．Studies that linked fat—found mostly in animal products such as meat and butter—with cancer and heart disease sent millions rushing to buy margarine．But then another study found that people who ate a lot of margarine also had high levels of heart disease．For those who have a firm faith in science, this seems to be the end of the world．
But many doctors point out that their advice has never been conflicting．For years, and in various countries, they have recommended eating less fat．
People in western countries such as Britain and the United States get about 40 percent of their calories from fat．Doctors say this should be around 30 or even 25 percent,
"We must try to reduce total fat," said Dr．Robert Richardson of the University of Edinburgh, who has been studying the effects of fat on human health for years．
"We need to go to more such food as bread, in particular brown bread, and more fruit and vegetables．"
Fresh produce may not be so safe, either．Last month the British Government advised consumers to peel their pears before eating, while many Americans briefly avoided apples because of fears over an insect killing chemical．
But Dr．Arnold, a British scientist, said any risk of such poisoning would be outweighed by the costs of not eating plant foods．
"On balance, if you were to put both risks against each other, the advice has to be eating as much fruit and vegetable daily as possible," she said．
In general, doctors conclude, variety truly is the best policy．"The general advice is pretty much the same advice that doctors have been talking about for a long time—a varied diet, a mixture of foods and not too much of any one," Arnold said．
