10.In life,we will succeed and fail often for reasons that are entirely out of our control.For instance,we can be incredibly nice and love someone deeply,and they may not love us back.We can work harder than anyone else in the office and still not be promoted to management.We can eat healthy food,exercise and stay away from alcohol and cigarettes,and still get sick.
The bottom line is that life is not fair.
That is a tough pill to swallow for many of us.As a result,some people shut down after being hit by even one unfair blow from life.They can't handle the fact that our efforts don't always get the results that we expect.But if we let life's unfairness defeat us,we will never receive the beautiful blessings (幸事) that life has in store for us.
For example,my first marriage ended in divorce.To me,it felt very unfair.I had worked hard to be a good wife and mother.However,no matter what I did,I could not make the relationship work.
I could have been shut down by that experience.I could have decided that if one person didn't appreciate me as a wife,then no one would.I could have given up.But I knew that I wanted to be married.I knew that I wanted to experience traditional family life.So I didn't let one seemingly unfair experience stop me from believing that I could one day be happily married.And then one day,I met this kind,thoughtful,generous man with whom I now have a wonderful friendship and marriage.But that wouldn't have happened if I had decided to give up after one failed marriage.
What I've learned over the years is that we can do all the things that deserve a good outcome,but get bad things in return instead.
When we are faced with life's seeming unfairness,our faith needs to jump in.When life doesn't go according to plan,we have to let go of the outcome that we are looking forward to and keep trying,working hard and doing the right thing.Please don't be discouraged.Accept that life is neither fair nor straightforward.And by knowing that if we remain confident,we can drive our unfair experiences away and use them for our benefit.

27.We can learn from the first three paragraphs thatA.
A.life doesn't often turn out the way we expect
B.the author thinks life should reward us for our efforts
C.unsatisfactory results simply mean your effort is not enough
D.people should focus on the process rather than the outcomes

2.Why would you want to speak without notes?A presenter that keeps checking his notes looks as if he didn't prepare or he doesn't know much about the topic.That can damage your image in the mind of the audience and no wonder their thoughts will wander during your speech.So,let's discover how you can speak without keeping checking notes while giving a presentation.
The most common technique is to use key word notes.While giving the presentation you are simply filling in the blanks between the key words.You can do this because you know your material well.This method makes it easy for you to recall what you plan to cover.The challenge is to cut your presentation down to a few key words.
The second technique is to prepare your presentation as a series of questions.The questions could be the most common questions about your business.You've heard and answered those questions many times so you can certainly talk about them.Asking yourself a specific question is also an effective way of drawing out the information from your memory.A variation(变体) of this technique is to ask your audience questions.Listen to their responses and then add your comments to fill in the gaps(间隙).This"unpredictable"method will make your presentation appear more like a conversation.Therefore you will look more confident and knowledgeable.But you can't know the direction of the question.
The third technique is to use props(道具).Put them on a table in the order that you plan to address them.They could be products,tools or toys.You could even use colored pieces of paper,books or letters.They serve as a visual clue(提示) to you and add the"show-and-tell"feature to your presentation.
 
46.What will happen if you keep checking notes while giving a presentation?C
A.You will appear to be disrespectful.
B.The audience may get angry with you.
C.You will fail to hold the audience's attention.
D.The audience may not understand your speech.
47.Using key word notes in a presentation requires you toB.
A.have a good memory
B.know your material well
C.practice your speech repeatedly
D.involve as many points as possible
48.The key word notes are supposed toC.
A.make your presentation simple         
B.make your presentation well organized
C.remind you of the things you are going to talk about
 D.help you memorize the material faster in preparation
49.The technique of"asking the audience questions"is"unpredictable"becauseA.
A.you can't predict the way in which the questions develop
B.whether the audience will be glad to participate is unknown
C.you can't know how much should be prepared to fill in the gaps
D.the"conversation"style may make the presentation out of order
50.Which of the following is true according to the passage?B
A.You give the impression of being bored in learning by using key word notes.
B.You can replace your notes with the props used in your presentation.
C.Asking the audience questions is the most frequently used technique.
D.Using props in a presentation can make the atmosphere more exciting.
3.It's finally that time:the start of the college year.For some,this is the first year.For me,it's the last.But I still remember that summer between high school and college when I didn't really know what I was getting myself into.There are plans and ideas about what my college experience was going to be like,but none of them worked out as planned.Here are three things I wish I had known before my freshman year.
(1)Use the mental health services available to you.you aren't alone.
That first night at college was memorable.I was scared and in a new place.There was homesickness that got better as I settled in.and though I continued to miss things from home,these weren't the only reasons I felt down.The academic pressure to succeed and the social pressure to fit in are too much for some people.And these pressures don't just happen in freshman year.
For me,there were upsets long after the days that required a map to figure out where all the buildings were on campus.Close friends guided me in the right direction,which was important because talking helps---even if it's just with a friend.Don't be afraid to take that extra step.
(2)It's OK to change your mind about your major(专业).
I entered the fall of my freshman year ready to major in politics,philosophy and economics,in preparation for a law degree.Things changed.You meet new people and discover new interests.
It's normal to be a little unsure of your plans once you start taking classes.So,don't worry if you haven't figured out exactly what you're going to major in.it will likely change anyway.
(3)You're there to get a degree and later a job,but a little fun won't hurt.
When my college days are long gone,I'm not going to remember the grades I got on papers or the late nights spent studying.
Instead,memorable moments will include playing video games with my roommate at 3:00am instead of writing a paper,or late-night runs with my friends after a night out---things that make for lifelong memories.
Doing well is important inside the classroom,but there are also jobs,internships(实习)and other pressures.Employers weigh internships and employment during college more heavily than your GPA,according to a 2012survey of employers by The Chronicle of Higher Education Finding a balance of killing it in the classroom,getting internships and having fun with friends is important.You don't want to burn out early.
Everyone says that college is the best four years of your life.but it can also be a stressful,messy period of self-exploration and discovery.But is it fun?No question.
Getting most from your (66)collegelife
Students need to(67)been keep/havethree things in mind before their first year in college.
Mental health service is helpful.●Both academic and social(68)pressureleads to students'unhappiness in college.
●(69)Talkingwith a friend is a good step to get help.
Change the major when necessary●Things might change when college students have new friends and (70)interests
●Students are(71)likelyto change their majors even after they start taking certain classes.
Learning and career are the primary goals in college,but first have some (72)fun.●Playing video games or outing with friends at night will be the most (73)unforgettablemoments in college.
●(74)Employersput more value on internships and employment during college than students'academic achievements.
conclusionGet yourself (75)ready/preparedbecause college years can be stressful and messy.
20.When a leafy plant is under attack,it doesn't sit quietly.Back in 1983,two scientists,Jack Schultz and lan Baldwin,reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get.These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm.What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds,VOCs for short.
Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked.It's a plant's way of crying out.But is anyone listening?Apparently.Because we can watch the neighbours react.
Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away.But others do double duty.They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers.Once they arrive,the tables are turned .The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch.
In study after study,it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors.The damage is usually more serious on the first plant,but the neighbors,relatively speaking,stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do.
Does this mean that plants talk to each other?Scientists don't know.Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches,and so,in effect,was talking to itself.Perhaps the neighbors just happened to"overhear"the cry.So information was exchanged,but it wasn't a true,intentional back and forth.
Charles Darwin,over 150years ago,imagined a world far busier,noisier and more intimate(亲密的) than the world we can see and hear.Our senses are weak.There's a whole lot going on.

32.What does a plant do when it is under attack?D
A.It makes noises.
B.It gets help from other plants.
C.It stands quietly.
D.It sends out certain chemicals.
33.What does the author mean by"the tables are turned"in paragraph 3?A
A.The attackers get attacked.
B.The insects gather under the table.
C.The plants get ready to fight back.
D.The perfumes attract natural enemies.
34.Scientists find from their studies that plants canB.
A.predict natural disasters
B.protect themselves against insects
C.talk to one another intentionally
D.help their neighbors when necessary
35.What can we infer from the last paragraph?C
A.The word is changing faster than ever.
B.People have stronger senses than before
C.The world is more complex than it seems
D.People in Darwin's time were more imaginative.

19.Kids'lives should be filled with fun and excitement.Every parent wants their child to be able to look back on their childhood with memories filled with good times and humor.One of the ways to keep these memories is with pset of kids bunk beds.
For one thing,both children and parents get into the excitement of new bedroom furniture.For parents up the necessary money to buy something special themselves because new beds mean that they are"growing up.

Getting kids bunk beds with a desk will also improve good learning habits.Have your children sit at the desk to do their drawing or coloring;this will improve the habit of doing homework at the desk.
Help your children learn and have fun with their new kids bunk beds!
