To be a real gentleman, you should know that true forgiveness is one of the most remarkable qualities a human can possess!
In the fighting between two countries in the 1970s, a young man was walking from one village to the next when he was     by an armed guerrilla fighter from the enemy country．The fighter  the young man down the hill where he was to be    .
But a（n）  thing happened． The young man, who had    military training, was able to disarm the fighter．Now, the table was    and it was the fighter who was ordered down the hill．
As they walked,      , the young man began to reflect on what was happening．Recalling the      of his mother, "Love your enemies; do good to those who       you." He found he could go no farther．
He 10  the gun into the bushes, told the fighter he was    to go and turned back       the hill．
Minutes later, he heard footsteps53 behind him as he walked．"Is this the end after all?" he      . Perhaps the fighter had got the gun and wanted to finish him off．But he continued on,       glancing back, until his enemy reached him, only to grab him in a hug and pour out        for sparing his life．
Mercy often wears the face of        ．And though it usually isn't an enemy in uniform-that we are challenged to forgive, we have   for mercy every day. Family members and friends, co-workers and neighbors and even strangers have       for our forgiveness. You know who they are.
As Mahatma Gandhi said, "The      can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. " Be strong. Forgive.

People Born in Autumn Live Longer
People born in the autumn live longer than those born in the spring and are less likely to fall chronically ill when they are older, according to an Austrian scientist.
Using census（人口普查）data for more than one million people in Austria, Denmark and Australia, scientists at the Max Planck Institute in the northern German town of Rostock found the month of birth was related to life expectancy（预期寿命）over the age of 50. Seasonal differences in what mothers ate during pregnancy, and infections occurring at different times of the year could both have an impact on the health of a new-born baby and could influence its life expectancy in older age. “A mother giving birth in spring spends the last phase of her pregnancy in winter, when she will eat less vitamins than in summer,” said Gabriele Doblhammer, one of a team of scientists who carried out the research. “When she stops breast-feeding and starts giving her baby normal food, it’s in the hot weeks of summer when babies are prone (易于)to infections of the digestive system.” In Austria, adults born in autumn (October-December) lived about seven months longer than those born in spring (April-June), and in Denmark adults with birthdays in autumn outlived those born in spring by about four months. In the southern hemisphere, the picture was similar. Adults born in the Australian autumn—the European spring—lived about four months longer than those born in the Australian spring. The study focused on people born at the beginning of the 20th century, using death certificates and census data. Although nutrition at all times of the year has improved since then, the seasonal pattern persists, Doblhammer said.
But on the other hand, according to a study of more 40,000 people, those born in spring and summer report themselves luckier than those born in autumn or winter. Professor Richard Wise-man who led the research explained that the temperature at the time of birth might influence the development of the brain and seasonal factors make a difference as well.
小题1:The underlined word “outlived” in the text probably means ________.
A．lived out ofB．depended on
C．had a shorter life thanD．lived longer than
小题2:The census data of the following countries is used for research EXCEPT _______.

B．In Austria, adults born in autumn (October—December) lived about seven months longer than those born in spring (April—June).
C．People born in autumn live longer than those born in spring and are less likely to fall ill when they are older.
D．Babies are prone to infections of the digestive system.
小题4:Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?
A．Infections occurring at different times of the year influence the health of a new-born baby.
B．The study focused on people born in the late 20th century.
C．A mother giving birth in spring eats less vitamins during the last phase of her pregnancy in winter.
D．What mothers ate during pregnancy could have an impact on the babies’ life expectancy in older age.
小题5:The right sentence of the following is ________.
A．The month of birth was not related to life expectancy over the age of 50.
B．A mother giving birth in spring spends the last phase of her pregnancy in winter, eating more vitamins than in summer.
C．Stopping breast-feeding and starting giving babies normal food must make babies prone to get infected with the digestive system in the hot weeks of summer.
D．Adults born in the Australian autumn―the European spring―lived about four months longer than those born in the Australian spring.
Do you blank out or feel so nervous in exams that you have trouble writing answers to questions that you knew just last night? If so, you likely have a case of test anxiety.
But, don't be afraid. By recognizing the problem, you are taking the first step towards overcoming it.
Believe it or not, a touch of nervousness can sharpen your mind, allowing you to perform more quickly. This is because under stress, the body releases (释放) the hormone adrenaline (肾上腺素), which prepares it for something important that will happen. However, too much anxiety can result in sleeplessness, loss of appetite（胃口）before tests, and poor performance. Some people might feel hot and tired. With great anger they often shout or complain for no reason.
If you worry a lot or are a perfectionist, you are more likely to have trouble with test anxiety. Those who have prepared poorly for a test or have had negative experiences taking tests may also experience test anxiety.
When you feel a storm of anxiety coming on, stop what you're doing and make your mind a blank. If possible, actually tell yourself to 'STOP!' This will get your mind off the stress.
Then think of being at a place of comfort and let your body relax. As you continue the test, find questions you know the answers to and answer them first. This will help restore your confidence. 
Important of all, talk to yourself using positive language. Make it a habit to replace each negative thought with a logical reason. For example: "I've studied hard and I know the material, so I'm ready to do the best I can."
Another thing you can do is to learn to accept mistakes. In fact, they can be valuable learning opportunities.
Last but not least, start test preparation early - three to five days ahead of the quiz or test. After all, good study habits and skills - for example, time management and note-taking - will give you the feeling that you are in control.
小题1: The best title of the passage is probably______
A．How to beat test anxiety.
B．What is test anxiety.
C．The effects of test anxiety.
D．Experience test anxiety will help you.
小题2:Those ______ more easily suffer from test anxiety.
A．who are not well prepared for a test.
B．who wants everything to be perfect and highest.
C．who have experiences of failure in exams.
D．who do poorly in their study.
小题3:The author mentions _____pieces of suggestions about how to get over test anxiety.
A．3B．4C．5D．6
小题4:What can we infer from the passage？
A．Mistakes sometime can be valuable and helpful.
B．Those who have prepared poorly for a test cause test anxiety easily.
C．Full test preparations will give you the feeling that you are in control.
D．A touch of anxiety can have a positive effect.
小题5:The underlined word “hot” in Paragraph3 means        .
A．disappointedB．angryC．activeD．running a high body temperature
In some urban centers, workaholism is so common that people do not consider it unusual:
They accept the lifestyle as normal. Government workers in Washington D.C, for example, frequently work sixty to seventy hours a week. They don’t do this because they have to; they do it because they want   to.
Workaholism can be a serious problem. Because true workaholics would rather work than do anything else, they probably don’t know how to relax.
Is workaholism always dangerous? Perhaps not. There are, certainly, people who work well under stress. Some studies show that many workaholies have great energy and interest in life. Their work is so pleasurable that they are actually very happy. For most workaholics, work and entertainment keep them busy and creative.
Why do workaholics enjoy their jobs so much? There are several advantages to work. Of course, it provides people with paychecks, and this is important. But it offers more than financial security. It provides people with self?confidence; they have a feeling of satisfaction when they’re produced a challenging piece of work and are able to say,“I made that.” Psychologists claim that work gives people an identity through participation in work, they get a sense of self and individualism. In addition, most jobs provide people with a socially acceptable way to meet others. Perhaps some people are compulsive about their work, but their addiction seems to be a safe-even an advantageous-one.
9.The passage indicates that workaholics          .
A.just know work but nothing else
B.are willing to work hard for long hours without pay
C.find their work provide them more satisfaction and self?confidence than how much they are   paid
D.has the work with more responsibility than others
10.One of the reasons that some people are not willing to quit their jobs even in their eighties and  nineties is that       
A.they are in the need of financial security
B.they would rather work than be disturbed by domestic affairs
C.they long for a sense of identity and being accomplished
D.they may have health problems from sheer boredom
11.This passage is mainly about .
A.workaholics are usually successful people, but their lives are in a mess       
B.workaholism can lead to serious problems but it can also create a joyful life
C.people who are absorbed in their work may enjoy movies, sports and other kinds of entertainment
D.those who work even under difficult conditions may be very happy
12.It can be inferred from the passage that .        
A.in the eyes of all the common people workaholics are peculiar
B.to workaholics, work is the sole source of happiness
C.a piece of challenging work may provide the workaholics a sense of satisfaction
D.workaholics are as addicted to their job as other people are to drugs or alcohol

We have met the enemy, and he is ours. We bought him at a pet shop. When monkey-pox, a disease usually found in the African rain forest, suddenly turns up in children in the American Midwest, it’s hard not to wonder if the disease that comes from foreign animals is homing in on human beings. “Most of the infections (感染) we think of as human infections started in other animals,” says Stephen Morse, director of the Center for Public Health Preparedness at Columbia University.
It’s not just that we’re going to where the animals are; we’re also bringing them closer to us. Popular foreign pets have brought a whole new disease to this country. A strange illness killed Isaksen’s pets, and she now thinks that keeping foreign pets is a bad idea. “I don’t think it’s fair to have them as pets when we have such a limited knowledge of them,” says Isaksen.
“Laws allowing these animals to be brought in from deep forest areas without stricter control need changing,” says Peter Schantz. Monkey-pox may be the wake-up call. Researchers believe infected animals may infect their owners. We know very little about these new diseases. A new bug (病毒) may be kind at first. But it may develop into something harmful. Monkey-pox doesn’t look a major infectious disease. But it is not impossible to pass the disease from person to person.
56. We learn from Paragraph 1 that the pet sold at the shop may _________.
A. come from Columbia            B. prevent us from being infected
C. enjoy being with children         D. suffer from monkey-pox
57. Why did Isaksen advise people not to have foreign pets?
A. They attack human beings.         B. We need to study native animals.
C. They can’t live out of the rain forest.  D. We do not know much about them yet.
58. What does the phrase “the wake-up call” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A. a new disease           B. a clear warning   C. a dangerous animal     D. a morning call
59. The text suggests that in the future we _______.
A. may have to fight against more new diseases   B. may easily get infected by diseases from dogs
C. should not be allowed to have pets           D. should stop buying pets from Africa
60. The last paragraph means _________.
A. we should have laws to stop having pets at home 
B. wild animals shouldn’t adopted as pets
C. laws should be passed to avoid pets’ diseases spreading 
D. people with pets should be stayed at home
Five months after my husband Steve died, I woke up one morning to the maddening sound of a leaking faucet（水龙头）. I knew it needed repairs badly, but it _______ me so much just to think of it.
All our _______ life, I was the “artist” bringing to our house much imagination. Steve was the”_______” one. He had a real gift for handling chores（家务活），_______ me from unpleasant repair jobs.

I got a workman named Ahmed. Entering the house, he stopped before a picture of Steve and me. “Doesn’t your husband _______ this kind of work?” he asked. “It’s not hard.”
“He died months ago. When he was alive, he did all the repair jobs _______.” I said quietly. Ahmed looked at me _______, but he didn’t reply. He fixed the faucet, adjusted the dishwasher door, and replaced a showerhead. Apparently he was gifted as Steve had been.
He did a(n) _______ job. I asked him to name his fee. “No charge, Ma’am,” he said. “My father died early, and the neighbors helped my family through.”
By fixing a faucet, Ahmed mended my soul. Although I would sure carry the pain of _______ with me along, Ahmed reminded me of the abundant _______ in the world.

It does not have to be January 1st to give yourself a chance to make the most out of your day — and your life. Every day is a new day and a fresh start to learn, grow, develop your strengths, heal yourself from past regrets or hurts, and move forward older and wiser. Every day gives you a chance to reinvent yourself, to fine-tune who you are, and build on lessons of what you have learned. It is never too late to change things that are not working in your life and switch gears, instead of thinking in the same old ways, hoping for a different outcome.
Be intelligent, be flexible, and keep and open mind to start each day anew! Flexibility is the key!
Ask yourself: How do you wake up each day? Do you start your day going already feeling pressured and rushed? Do you go through the morning routine without much thought at all, doing what you "have to do" to start your day?
How about starting each new day with a moment to stop, breathe and think of a positive intention for the day.
Think not just what you want to DO, but how you want to BE today?
Each day is a new beginning and a blank slate. How would you like to create your day? Think of it as a blank canvas — what would you like to paint on it. What can you create? If you wake up in a negative mindset, you are more likely to paint a dark picture throughout the day, and your canvas will not reflect hope, happiness and joy.
If you take each day to think positively, and have a positive intention for how you would like to create your day, how would your life be different? What positive outcome can reflect your positive intention?
What can daily positive intentions do for you? Every day you will give yourself the gift of an "attitude of gratitude."
Visualizing how you would like your day will help release positive energy from within you and you will attract more positive energy from those around you. Instead of spinning your wheels in an old way of thinking, each day is a chance to reframe and re-look at things in a different way.
You can experience each day an awe （敬畏）in the beauty and creation of the world — and the beauty of you who is in it!
You find yourself shifting from an "I can't mindset" to an "I can" mindset.
With a focus on positive intentions, you feel more empowered and more like a "victor" than a "victim."
You are more mindful of the present, and will be more likely to live fully in the present each moment of each day. After all, the past is a great place to visit, but you don't want to live there!
So how about starting each day taking a moment to think of a positive intention for the day? Each morning, write it down and reflect each evening on how you did!
Here are examples of Positive Intentions:
"Today I would like to replace my feelings of annoyance towards my co-worker to feelings of acceptance."
"I am looking forward today to focusing on what I am grateful for in my life, rather than what is missing, and express gratefulness to others."
"Today I want to slow my life down and take time to savor the moment, especially with my children".。
Using each day to recommit yourself to positive thinking and intention will help you create the life you want and that you deserve!
小题1:According to the writer, which is the most important?
A．changeableB．positiveC．forgettableD．active
小题2:When you get up, what is the right way to start?
A．Just do as you do regularly
B．Brushing teeth and washing as quickly as possible
C．Stopping for a short while and planning some active things
D．Doing morning exercise to build up your body
小题3:Which of the followings is considered to be positive intention?
A．The boss told me to finish the task, so I have to hurry today
B．Mr. Smith treated me to dinner, so I’d like to send him a card.
C．I have finished all the tasks ,so I’m free today.
D．I didn’t sleep well last night, but it’s time to go to work..
小题4:What can daily intention do for you ,except______?
A．You can live fully

What do you want to be when you grow up? A teacher? A doctor? How about an ice-cream taster?
　　Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste ice-cream. Just ask John Harrison, an＂Official Taste Tester＂for the past 21 years. Testing helps manufacturers to be sure of a product’s quality. During his career Harrison has been responsible for approving large quantities of the sweet ice cream－－as well as for developing over 75 flavors (味道).
　Some people think that it would be easy to do this job: after all, you just have to like ice cream, right? No－－there’s more to the job than that, says Harrison, who has a degree in chemistry. He points out that a dairy or food-science degree would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this＂cool＂field.
　　In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and assesses 60 ice-cream samples. He lets the ice cream warm up to about 12℉. Harrison explains,＂You get more flavor from warmer ice cream, which is why some kids like to stir it, creating ice-cream soup.＂
　　While the ice cream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one on its appearance.＂Tasting begins with the eyes,＂he explains. He checks to see if the ice cream is attractive and asks himself,＂Does the product have the color expected from that flavor?＂Next it’s time to taste!
Continuing to think up new ideas, try out new flavors, and test samples from so many kinds of ice cream each day keeps Harrison busy but happy－－working at one cool job.
小题1:What is John Harrison’s job?
