12．Grandma celebrated her fifty-third birthday just weeks before grandpa died of cancer in 1965．Although his passing was very difficult for her，I think their shared struggle to make his life longer taught grandma that good health was not to be taken for granted，and she made up her mind to live the rest of her own life as fully and as long as she could．One day，when she announced to attend lessons at the Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Portland，Oregon，where she lived，we rolled our eyes in embarrassment and helplessly wished she would just stay home and bake cookies as normal grandmothers did．Many years filled with countless dance lessons passed before we learned to appreciate the wonder of having a dancing grandma．
I suppose grandma's primary motivation for wanting to learn to dance was social．She had been a shy girl，always very tall and heavy，and had married into grandpa's quiet lifestyle before developing any elegance or confidence in her personal appearance．Dancing，on the other hand，filled her life with flash lights，wonderful parties，beautiful dresses，handsome young dance instructors，and the challenge of learning．Although the weekly dance lessons did not change her ample，two-hundred-pound figure，grandma surprised everyone with energetic performances on the dance floor，which soon gave her as much elegance and confidence as any Miss American competitor．
Having taken weekly dance lessons for years，my grandma learned various dances easily and was soon participating in dancing matches all over the Northwest．When I was fourteen，grandma proudly invited me to watch her compete in one of these matches to be held in the grand ballroom of the Red Lion Inn．My attitude was still unenthusiastic at that point，but to make her happy，my mother and I attended the match．As if to prove me wrong，grandma made a wonderful showing in every event she entered．I thought she was truly the queen of the ball during the dance，and my thoughts were shared by the judges a short time later when she was awarded a gold cup for her outstanding performance．

9．The Taj Mahal （泰姬陵） is a love story，a sad and beautiful one．If it didn't exist，we would easily imagine that the story of its construction was simply a fairy tale．Three hundred years ago，there lived an Indian emperor called Shah Jahan．His wife was a beautiful and bright woman whom he loved greatly．Her title was Mumtazl Mahan：its shortened form Taj Mahal，means"pride of the palace"．In the year 1630this beloved wife of the emperor died．He was so brokenhearted that he thought of giving up his throne（皇位）．Out of his love for his wife，he decided to build her the most beautiful tomb that had ever been seen．
He summoned（召集）the best artists and architects from India，Turkey，Persia and Arabia and finally，the design was complete．It took more than twenty thousand men working over a period of 18years to build the Taj Mahal，one of the most beautiful buildings in the world．
The building itself stands on a marble platform 29meters square and 6-7meters high．Towers rise from each of the four corners．The Taj itself soars another 61meters into the air．It is an eight-sided building made of white marble．
The emperor planned to build an identical tomb of black marble for himself on the other side of the river connected by a silver bridge．However his son put him into a prison in the palace before he could finish，and for the rest of his life，he could only gaze across river at the tomb of his beloved wife．

16．As life expectancy increases nowadays，the average person lives well beyond the age of retirement．As a result，the elderly make up an ever-increasing percentage of society，which makes it more important than ever for a real effort to be made in improving the lives of senior citizens．
One way to deal with the situation would be to ensure that the elderly have enough money on which to live．Obviously，when a person stops working，they still require a source of income to cover their basic needs such as food，accommodation and heating．A clear solution to the problem is for the government to make sure that the state pension is adequate for these needs．
Steps should also be taken to overcome the health problems the elderly face．The government should also provide access to the best health care available，which may necessitate paying for residential homes where the elderly can have round-the-clock nursing，or，at the very least，providing medication free of charge to all people over a certain age．
The lives of old people could be improved if attempts were made to address the problem of social isolation．If we organised trips for the elderly to community centres，visits from social workers their problem of loneliness can be reduced a lot which marks the lives of so many old people living alone and far from their families．
One final suggestion，which would help enormously，is to change the attitude of the community towards its older members，who are all too often seen as a burden on society and dismissed as having little to do with modern life．We need to be taught from an early age to respect the views of old people，and appreciate their broader experience of life．This would help society as a whole，and encourage appreciation of the role that old people can still play today．
32．What can be inferred from Paragraph 3？C
A．All the elderly can enjoy free medication．
B．The nurses can take good care of the elderly．
C．The elderly are in face of health problems．
D．The health care available to the elderly is good．

d．the experience of life    e．social isolation     f．medical care
A．a，b，c，d
B．b，c，d，e
C．c，d，e，f
D．a，c，e，f
35．According to the last suggestion，the old peopleA．

13．"Business is war．"The traditional language of business certainly makes it sound that way：winning the competition，getting market share，beating up suppliers，locking up customers．There are the victors and the losers．
But today in doing business，you have to listen to shareholders，work with suppliers，keep good relations-even with competitors．That doesn't sound like war．Besides，there are few victors when business is looked upon as war．
Most businesses succeed only if others also succeed．Business is competition and cooperation as well．In other words，business is war and peace．
To bring together competition and cooperation，we turn to game theory．Game theory provides that whether one person wins or loses depends on what other people do．It is particularly effective when there are many interdependent factors and no decision can be made in isolation from other decisions．
Game theory breaks down the game into key elements：players，added values，rules，tactics（计谋），and scope （PARTS）．Every element affects the result of the game．This means that each of the five elements gives you a way to change an existing game into an entirely new one．Change one of the PARTS，and you change the whole．
Why change the game？An old Chinese saying explains：If you continue on the course you're heading，that's where you'll end up．Sometimes that's good，sometimes not．You can play the game very well，and still suffer great loss． That's because you're playing the wrong game：you need to change it．Even a good game can be made into a better one．Real success comes from actively shaping the game you play-from making the game you want，not taking the game you find．
39．The author of this passage isB the idea that"Business is war．"
A．in favor of
B．against
C．considering
D．doubtful of
40．Why does the writer mention game theory？B
A．To inform the readers of the key elements．
B．To explain how competition and cooperation co-exist in business．
C．To prove business is war．
D．To introduce the Chinese old saying．
41．The correct understanding of the underlined sentence in the last paragraph isA．
A．you are really good at playing the game，but you still lose it out
B．you are so competitive that you beat up all of your competitors terribly
C．you play the game too well to suffer great loss
D．the competition is so hard that you have to put all your heart into it．

10．What do the world's most successful people all have in common？
By examining the work habits of over 150greatest writers and artists and scientists，the researchers including Standford Professor Jeffrey Pfeffer found that high achievers like Robert Moses turn out to be all alike：
Busy!Busy!
（16）D In a study of general managers in industry，John Kotter reported that many of them worked 60to 65hours per week-which translates into at least six 10-hour days．The ability and willingness to work difficult and tiring hours has characterized many powerful figures．Energy and strength provide many advantages to those seeking to build power．
Just Say No!
The difference between successful people and very successful people is that very successful people say"no"to almost everything．And that's what gives them the time to accomplish so much．（17）B And focus means saying"no"to a lot of distractions （分神）．
Know What You Are!
Ignore your weakness and keep improving your strengths．Don't waste time exploring skill areas where you have little competence．Instead，focus on-and build on-your strengths．（18）F
Create Good Luck!
Luck is not magical-there is a science to it．Richard Wiseman studied lucky people for his book Luck Factor，and broke down what they do right．（19）G By being more outgoing，open to new ideas，following the feeling that something is true，being optimistic，lucky people create possibilities．
Does applying these principles to your life actually work？Wiseman created a"luck school"to test the ideas-and it was a success．In total，80percent of people who attended Luck School said that their luck had increased．（20）C
A．Spend enough time to improve your weakness．
B．Achievement （成就）requires focus．
