On the morning of June 5th,as I walked down the sidewalk,my heart   (47)B and my mind became a factory of questions.I kept wondering how everything was going to happen and how Ryan would   (48)C the huge crowd of thousands of people.

3.Today,home-ownership has reached extremely high levels.Modern generations tend to believe there is something wrong with them if they rent.However,is high home-ownership really as people imagine?Staring at data first,we realize that the most successful,stable,attractive country in the Western world is Switzerland.It has tiny unemployment; wealth; high happiness and mental-health scores.Does it have high home-ownership rates?Absolutely not.In Switzerland,about seven in ten of the population are renters.Yet,with Europe's lowest home-ownership rate,the nation thrives.Now go to the other end of the misery distribution.Spain has approximately the highest home-ownership rate in Europe (at more than 80%).But one-quarter of its population are unemployed.
A likely reason is that high levels of home-ownership mess up the labour market.In a sensibly functioning economy it is easy for people to move around to drop into the vibrant job slots thrown up by technological change.With a high degree of owner-occupation,everything slows.Folk get stuck.Renters can go to new jobs.In that way they do the economy a favours.As Friedman said,the rate of unemployment depends on the flexibility of the housing market.
Next we come to economic breakdown.Most analysts accept that at heart it was the housing market-obsessive pursuit of homes,the engendered mortgage(房贷) lending and an unavoidable house-price crash-that sank the Western world.Germany,say,with its more efficient rental market,had a far smoother ride through trouble.
As for the monetary system,in the past few decades,in the hope of getting untaxed capital gains way above their true labour earnings,many people threw their spare cash into buying larger houses or building extra bedrooms.TV programmes about how to make easy money,beautiful rising house prices,and most importantly,our faulty tax system encouraged that.When at some point market broke down,everyone suffered.Our countries ought,instead,to design tax systems that encourage people to invest in productive real activities and in innovation.Renting leaves money free for better purposes.
That also points to the role of sensible budgeting over a person's lifetime.Why should we think that when we die it is necessary to have paid off an entire house?Our children do not deserve it.Let them pay for themselves.We should rent-and enjoy our lives with the money saved.
Finally,moderation usually pays off.Our scientific understanding of how economies function is horribly limited.This suggests that the golden rule should be to avoid extremes.A50-50mix of home-ownership and renting,not the 70-30split that is now observed in so many Western nations,makes sense.

74.The cases of Switzerland and Spain prove thatD
A.low home-ownership rate at about 30% is most favourable for economy
B.home-ownership mainly decides a country's citizens'mental health
C.home-ownership has a lot to do with a country's technological development
D.low home-ownership increases the mobility of job market and economy
75.The main reason to make people invest in housing market isA
A.the problematic taxing approach favouring house buying
B.people's desire to avoid their money from devaluing
C.easy channels to obtain methods to make easy money
D.people's wishes to live in large and more comfortable houses
76.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passageB?
A.Switzerland suffers the worse unemployment in Europe
B.Renting allows more money into more creative economic activites
C.Germany's effective mortgage system saw it through the western economic crisis
D.Our children have the right to enjoy the housing property we have paid off
77.What opinion does the author agree with mostC?
A.People should learn the workings of housing market
B.Laws should be set up to stop people from buying houses
C.An adequate rate of home-ownership should be kept
D.People should follow the good example of Europe in housing investment.

"Well,my mum told got (48)Bfrom her job,but I'm not sure what to do…."
"You see,the way you were (49)C,"she explained."Don't look defeated,(50)A comes in different ways.If your head is down you might never see it..Smile more…(51)B your head up."
I smiled slightly,amazed by how she was (52)Bme.
"Why are you playing here?"I asked.
"I am not making music.Istudy psychology.I often see many (53)Cpeople and hope to relieve their (54)Aand make them think positively by sharing music."
I smiled a little wider.She doing a good thing.My heart was touched by a (55)Dsoul.
She explained to me that she sees a lot of negative people in the world and she tries to alleviate the pain and bring more positivity by sharing motivational music.She told me that when she wasn't making music she studied psychology.So,that was how she knew some of the things she was telling me.
I smiled a little wider because I knew that she was doing a good thing.So,after that we parted,my heart touched and lightened by a musical soul!

17.Babies as young as 5months can distinguish a happy tune,such as Ode to Joy,from Beethoven's Ninth Symphony,from sad tunes.
Researchers showed an emotionally-neutral face to the babies while sad music played.When the babies looked away from the face,the music stopped and a new sad song started.When the happier Ode to Joy played,the babies stared at the face three to four seconds longer,suggesting they were interested in the change.
By nine months old,babies can do the opposite.
The finding is another example of how babies make sense of the world long before they can talk,said Brigham,Yong University psychology professor Ross Flom.
"One of the first things babies understand communicatively is emotion,so for them the melody(旋律)is the message,"Flom said."Our study showed that by nine months,babies are classifying songs as happy or sad the same way that adults do."
So what makes a happy song?
BYU music professor Susan Kenney,who was not involved in the study,noted some of the technical differences between the happy and sad songs the babies heard.
"The happy songs were all in major keys with fairly short phrases or motives that repeated,"Kinney said."The tempo(节拍)and melodic rhythms were faster than any of the sad ones,and the melodies had a general upward direction.The sad songs were in minor keys and all had a slower beat and long melodic rhythms.For a baby to notice those differences is interesting and attractive."

68.The researchers did the experiment in order toD.
A.help babies learn more knowledge about music
B.find out the most popular music with babies
C.know whether babies are familiar with the face
D.find out if babies would know happy songs from sad ones
69.The phrase"the opposite"in Paragraph 3refers to"B".
A.telling the difference between Ode to Joy and other songs
B.picking out a sad tune from happy ones
C.looking away from the face three to four seconds longer
D.showing they're not interested in the change of tunes
70.This musical study shows thatD.
A.all babies are gifted in music
B.music represents what babies want to tell us
C.babies understand music emotionally even before they can talk
D.the behavior of babies should be further studied
71.How do babies distinguish different tunes according to Kenney?A
A.By the tempo and rhythms.
B.By their emotion.
C.By their common sense.
D.By their interest.
4.Why did I come today?My Christmas list contained several people that claimed they wanted nothing but I knew their feelings would be hurt I didn't buy them anything,so(36)A buying was anything  but fun.
Hurriedly,I finished shopping and (37)Bthe long checkout lines.In front of me were a boy of about 5and a younger girl.She carried a(n) (38)Apair of  gold shoes.When we finally approached the checkout register,the girl (39)Bplaced the shoes on the counter.She treated them as though they were a(40)C.
"That will be﹩6.09,"the cashier said.The boy (41)Bhis pockets.He finally came up with﹩3.12."I guess we will have to put them(42)D,"he  bravely said."We will come back some other time,maybe tomorrow."(43)Dthat statement,a soft sob (44)Cfrom the little girl."But Jesus would have loved these shoes,"she cried.

1.Grandparents might be known for spoiling grandchildren,but a new study says they might also be helping the kids improve their social skills and behavior.
Spending time with grandma and grandpa especially appears to help children from single-parent,divorced/separated or stepfamily households,according to the report,published in the February Journal of Family Psychology.
"Grandparents are a positive force for all families but play a significant role in families undergoing difficulties,"the study's lead author,Shalhevet Attar-Schwartz,of The Hebrew University of Jerusalem,said in an American Psychological Association news release."They can reduce the negative influence of parents separating and be a resource for children who are going through these family changes."
In interviewing 11-to 16-year olds from England and Wales,Attar-Schwartz and her team found that the more conversations the youths had with a grandparent,including asking for advice or even money,the better they got along with their peers and the fewer problems they had,such as hyperactivity and disruptive behavior.
"This was found across all three family structures,"she said."But adolescents in single-parent households and stepfamilies benefited the most.The effect of their grandparents'involvement was stronger compared to children from two biological parent families."
The study did not look at children who lived solely with their grandparents,though.
The findings have great implications for people in the United States,the authors said,because American grandparents are increasingly sharing living space with their grandchildren.A 2004 U.S.Census Bureau survey found that more than 5 million households include a grandparent and a grandchild under 18,up 30 percent since 1990,according to background information in the news release.
