6．At one time it was the dream for many little girls to become a nurse．Today，however，America is facing its worst nurse shortage since World War I．Recently about 2，000，000nurses are needed and 60percent of all hospitals in the US have shortages large enough to threaten（=say that you will hurt somebody if they don't do what you want）the quality of care provided．The demand for nurses spreads widely throughout the nursing field．
What has become of these women in white？The answer lies in not one but several causes．One possibility is the fact that woman have greater career options （职业选择）．In the past，women who chose to work outside the home had two basic choices：nursing or teaching．Today，more women than ever are in the work force，but their options have greatly increased．There are women doctors，lawyers，firefighters and police officers．In fact，women today are found in nearly every field of work．Nursing has been left behind，as women move on to jobs with higher pay and greater status（地位）．A woman or man in the nursing field is often looked down upon as"merely a nurse"．Teachers may be also at fault．Many high school students are actually being steered（劝导）away from nursing，told by teachers that they are"too bright to be a nurse"．
Americans are living longer than ever and requiring more medical attention．In fact，the number of elderly patients has almost doubled in the past twenty years．Obviously a larger population requires more nurses．AIDS and other diseases have caused more and more people to need nursing care．Usually fatal diseases mean long drawn-out hospital stay，that is to say，more nurses are needed to care for these patients．It is estimated that the demand for nurses will be doubled the supply in the coming ten years．

46．Henry is a high school student in America．He used to do many kinds of jobs when he was a young boy，such as selling newspapers and magazine．He does not want to depend on his parents for his pocket money or waste his time hanging round at weekends．He is fond of communicating with strangers and has developed some selling skills．F
47．Miss Harrison has worked in a newspaper agency for five years．She was responsible for the advertisements in the newspaper and for a work team consisting of five members．She gave up her previous job because she had to move with her husband to a new city．She is good at dealing with strangers．A
48．Anna is a college student whose major is English．Since she came to college，she has begun to work as a tutor．This term，she still would like to work as a tutor after classes and at weekends．Without the experience of being a real teacher，she doesn't have the confidence to manage a big class，and she just wants to teach one or two students each time．D

4．Much meaning can be conveyed，clearly，with our eyes，so it is often said that eyes can speak．
Do you have such kind of experience？In a bus you may look at a stranger，but not too long．And if he is sensing that he is being stared at，he may feel uncomfortable．
The same in daily life．If you are looked at for more than necessary，you will look at yourself up and down，to see if there is anything wrong with you．If nothing goes wrong，you will feel angry toward others'stare at you that way．Eyes do speak，right？
Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive．But things are different when it comes to stare at the opposite sex．If a man glances at a woman for more than 10seconds and refuses to move his gaze，his intentions are obvious，that is，he wishes to attract her attention，to make her understand that he is admiring her．
However，the normal eye contact for two people engaged in conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time，in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking，to tell him that he is attentive．
If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking，as if he tries to dominate you，you will feel uncomfortable．A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim，since he believes in the false idea that to look straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication．Quite the contrary．
In fact，continuous eye contact is confined to lovers only，who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time，to show affection that words cannot express．
Evidently，eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the specific situation．
33．Which of the following behaviors is proper according to the passage？D
A．To the opposite sex，stare at him or her．
B．To a stranger，avoid looking at him or her．
C．In a conversation，look at the listener all the time．
D．Make eye contact depending on the relationship and different situations．
34．If two persons exchange eye contact gently for long，what is probably their relationship？B
A．Boss and employee．B．Lovers．C．Teacher and student．D．Strangers
35．What's the best title of the passage？C
A．Don't stare at others
B．Body language is important
C．Eyes can speak
D．Eye contact benefits you．

1．Man still has a lot to learn about the most powerful and complex part of his body-the brain．
It may be surprising to learn that it isn't age that makes you lose your memory．The reason could be that you have a"lazy"memory，not an old one．Like your body your memory improves with exercise．Once given plenty of exercise，the brain keeps its power．Before discussing how to improve the memory，let's look at how the brain works．There are two sides to the brain，the left and the right．The right side deals with the senses （what we see，hear，feel and smell）．It's the creative and imaginative side．The left side is concerned with logic．It analyzes information and puts it in order．
Some recent research suggests that we remember everything that happens to us．The problem most of us has is recalling events．Most forgetting takes place immediately after learning．An hour after learning something new，more than 50% has been forgotten．After a month，80% has been forgotten，and so on．
This shows revision is very important．If you revise new material you have learnt，you remember much more．So it's of vital importance to revise newly learned material often，and have frequent breaks．We best remember what we learn at the beginning of a learning period and at the point where we stop．After the break，revise what was learned before the break and then continue learning the new material．These breaks should happen every 20 or 45 minutes．
Other experiments have shown the brain needs time to"digest"what has been learned．The time necessary for this is 5 to 10 minutes．After the break，the memory will have absorbed what it has just learned，and more will be remembered．During this period it is important to exercise the right side of the brain，because the left side is used during the learning period．Therefore you should relax．Listening to music，breathing in fresh air，and looking at a picture are all ways of using the other side of the brain．So when you are studying alone，make a plan which shows when to have breaks and to revise newly learned material immediately before you begin studying again．If you do in this way，your memory will improve．

47．According to the text，you lose your memory byB．
A．getting too old
B．hardly using your brain
C．working too hard
D．using your brain too much
48．To fight forgetting effectively，we're advised toA．
A．go back to what was learned regularly
B．break down materials into small pieces
C．focus on both ends of a learning period
D．take breaks to give the brain a good rest
49．During the learning process the brain need breaks toC．
A．use the right side of the brain
B．revise newly learnt materials
C．take in what has been learnt
D．relax the left side of the brain
50．Where is this text most probably taken from？D
A．Science fictions．
B．Students'literature．
C．An advertisement．
D．A science report．

Trying to come to a decision complete on your own can be risky．Some decisions are so important that they shouldn't made without talking to others first．There have several advantages if you consult the persons you trust．For one thing，they can give you valuable advice and they may point out some things you may have been overlooked．For another，friends may stop you from make big mistakes．
When consulting others about importance decisions，you should keep two things in mind．The first one is that you need to find someone whom you respected enough to trust their judgment．The second thing to consider is how to do if you disagree with this person．Maybe turning to a third or fourth person for help is the best option．In a word，making any big decision alone can lead in problems．Talking to friends or family members first are always a good idea．

Dear Visitors，
Welcome to Hangzhou．Hangzhou is a beautiful city famous for her West Lake．As the number of visitor increasing year by year，we are sorry to see empty bottles and plastic bags floated on the lake，and even flowers picked up and trees destroyed，which does harm to the image of the city．I must appeal to everyone to behave properly．Here and now I strongly suggest：
First，strengthen the environment-protecting awareness of the people who throws rubbish here and there random．Second，it's high time that the government takes further measures to protect the beauty of West Lake such as placing good-looking dustbins at visitors'convenience．Third，be a volunteer to beautify the lake now and then，but I believe with the joint efforts of everyone there will exist forever the saying"Up above there is heaven； down below there are Suzhou and Hangzhou"．
