Some years ago when I was in my first year in college, I heard Salome Bey sing for the first time. The moment was exciting. Salome’s filled the room and brought the theater to life. I was so that I decided to write an article about her.

I Salome Bey, telling her I was from Essence magazine, and that I wanted to meet her to talk about her career. She and told me to come to her studio next Tuesday. When I hung up, I was scared out of my mind. I I was lying. I was not a writer at all and hadn’t even written a grocery list.

I interviewed Salome Bey the next Tuesday. I sat there , taking notes and asking questions that all began with, “Can you tell me…” I soon realized that Salome Bey was one thing, but writing a story for a national magazine was just impossible. The was almost unbearable. I struggled for days draft after draft. Finally I put my manuscript (手稿) into a large envelope and dropped it into a mailbox.

It didn’t take long. My manuscript How stupid of me! I thought. How could I in a world of professional writers? Knowing I couldn’t the rejection letter, I threw the unopened envelope into a drawer.

Five years later, I was moving to California. While my apartment, I came across the unopened envelope. This time I opened it and read the editor’s letter in

Dear Ms Profit,

Your story on Salome Bey is fantastic. Yet we need some materials. Please add those and return the article immediately. We would like to your story soon.

Shocked, it took me a long time to . Fear of rejection cost me dearly. I lost at least five hundred dollars and having my article appear in a major magazine. More importantly, I lost years of writing. Today, I have become a full – time writer. Looking back on this I learned a very important lesson: You can’t to doubt yourself.

Cities of Tomorrow

Middle school students combine science and imagination as they celebrate National Engineers

Week in a Future City Competition．

In the African city of Mwinda，floating farms are quite common．The city’s residents zip around in hydrogen-powered hover（盘旋的）vehicles，and renewable energy resources provide the city’s power．That’s how Jake Bowers，12，Emily Ponti，14，and Krisha Sherburne，12，imagined their future city．

The students，who attend St．Thomas More School in Baton Rouge，Louisiana，took first place

for their design last week in the 2007 National Engineer Week Future City Competition held in

Washington，D．C．The students won a trip to the U．S Space Camp in Huntsville，Alabam．

Kids from 35 middle schools across the country made it to Washington．They had teamed up

with teachers and volunteer engineer mentors（顾问，导师）to develop cities．Each team began by

creating a fictional city on SimCity 3000，a computer game that allows players to construct towns．

The students then built a tabletop model of the city，wrote an essay and presented their creation to a

panel（专门小组） of judges．This year’s theme asked students to design fuel cell powered

communities．Fuel cell technology works by using hydrogen and oxygen to produce power．The

process is environmentally friendly．

Organizers hope the competition provides a fun and educational way to spark young people’s

interest in engineering．“As the number of graduates in engineering（decreases），it’s ever more

important to encourage students to build these skills at an early age，”says John Hofmeister，

President of Shell Oill Company．Shell is a sponsor of the annual Future City contest．Judging by

this year’s competition，plenty of kids are getting the message．Some 30，000 students from more

than 1，000 schools participated in the 2006 －2007 Future City Competition．

64．What is not imagined in the three teenagers’ mind for their future city？

A．Hydrogen-powered hover vehicles．

B．The city’s power provided by renewable energy resources．

C．Floating farms．

D．Oxygen-powered floating factories．

65．Which statement is True according to the passage？

A．St．Thomas More School in Baton Rouge is in Alabama．

B．The 2007 National Engineer Week Future City Competition was held in Lounisiana．

C．The students who took first place for their design won a trip to U．S．Space Camp in

Huntsville．

D．The U．S Space Camp lies in Washington，D，C．．

Advice to “sleep on it” could be well founded, scientists say. After a good night’s sleep, a problem, which couldn’t be solved the night before, can often seem more manageable, although the evidence until now has been anecdotal (个人体验的). But researchers, at the University of Luebek in Germany, have designed an experiment that shows a good night’s sleep can improve insight (顿悟) and problem-solving.

“If you have some newly-got memories in your brain, sleep acts on these memories and restructures (重新组织) them, and as a result, after sleep, the insight into problem which you could not solve before increases,” said Dr Jan Born, a neuroscientist (神经科学家), at the university.

To test the theory, they taught volunteers two simple rules to help them turn a string of (一连串) numbers into a new order. There was also a third, hidden rule, which could help them increase their speed in solving the problem. The researchers divided the volunteers into two groups: Half were allowed to sleep after the training, while the rest were forced to stay awake. Dr Jan Born and his team noticed that the group that had slept after the training were twice as likely to figure out (想出) the third rule as the other group.

“Sleep helped,” Born said in a telephone interview. “The important thing is that you have to have a memory representation (描绘，表现) of the problem you want to solve in your brain and then you sleep, so it can act on the problem.” But Born admitted that he and his team don’t know how restructuring of memories occurs or what governs it.

Pierre Maquet and Perrine Ruby of the University of Liege in Belgium said the experimental evidence supports the anecdotal suggestions that sleep can help develop creative thinking. Although the role of sleep in human creativity will still be a mystery, the research gives people good reason to fully respect their periods of sleep, they added.

57. The underlined phrase “sleep on it” in Paragraph 1 probably means ______.

A. to delay deciding something until the next day

B. to get as much sleep as possible

C. to go on sleeping without being disturbed

D. to sleep till after the time you usually get up in the morning

A. people should sleep so long as they have time

B. sleep is the only way to solve hard problems

C. people have various periods of sleep

D. people know how sleep reconstructs memories

60. What would be the best title for the passage?

A. How Sleep Works B. Sleep Helps Solve Problems

C. No Evidence, But Well Founded D. Born’s Discovery On Sleep

Someday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the websites you’ve visited. Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.

In fact, it’s likely some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a spouse, a girlfriend, a marketing company, a boss, a cop or a criminal. Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen—the 21st century equivalent(equal) of being caught naked.

Psychologists tell us boundaries (dividing line) are healthy, that it’s important to reveal yourself to friends, family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times. But few boundaries remain. The digital bread pieces you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like. In some cases, a simple Google search can reveal what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.

The key question is: Does that matter?

For many Americans, the answer apparently is “no.”

When opinion polls (民意测验) ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. A survey found an overwhelming (very large) pessimism about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is “slipping away, and that bothers me.”

But people say one thing and do another. Only a tiny part of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve (protect) their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths (收费站) to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessanfro Acquisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will surrender personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon (优惠券).

But privacy does matter—at least sometimes. It’s like health: when you have it, you don’t notice it. Only when it’s gone do you wish you’d done more to protect it.

63．What would psychologists advise on the relationships between friends?

A. Friends should open their hearts to each other.

B. Friends should always be faithful to each other.

C. There should be a distance even between friends.

D. There should be fewer disputes between friends.

64．Why does the author say “we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret” (Line 4—5, Para, 3)?

A. Modern society has finally developed into an open society.

B. People leave traces around when using modern technology.

C. There are always people who are curious about others’ affairs.

D. Many search engines profit by revealing people’s identities.

65．What do most Americans do about privacy protection?

A. They change behaviors that might disclose their identity.

B. They use various loyalty cards for business deals.

C. They rely more and more on electronic devices.

D. They talk a lot but hardly do anything about it.

66．According to the passage, privacy is like health because ________.

A. people will make every effort to keep it

B. its importance is rarely understood

C. it is something that can easily be lost

D. people don’t cherish it until they lose it
