17．That morning，before I realized it，my six-year-old son Jonathan broke a limb of my azalea （杜鹃花） bush and asked．"Can I take this to school today？
With a wave of hand．I（36）C him off．I turned my （37）A so he wouldn't see the tears in my eyes．I （38）Dthat azalea bush．I touched the broken limb as if to say  （39）D
"I'm sorry．"
I was in low spirits most of the day．（40）A at 2：30in the afternoon I hurriedly drove to the school to （41）C Jonathan．
"I want to talk to you about Jonathan．"the teacher said after she let me into the classroom．
（42）Dnow？I thought as I glanced at my son busily coloring a picture．I prepared myself for the  （43）B．Nothing would have surprised me．
"Did you know Jonathan brought  （44）D to school today？"she asked．
I nodded．thinking about my  （45）B  bush and trying to hide the  （46）A  in my eyes．
"Let me tell you about yesterday．"the teacher insisted．"See that little girl？"
I watched the bright-eyed child（47）C and point to a colorful picture on the wall．I nodded．
"Well，yesterday she was almost in （48）A．Her mother and father are going through a divorce．She told me she didn't want to （49）C．I watched that little girl（50）A her face in her hands and say loud enough for the class to hear．Nobody loves me．I did all I could to （51）B her，but it only seemed to make matters worse．"
"Today your son walked straight （52）A to that child．I watched him （53）B her some pretty pink flowers and whisper．I love you．"
I felt my heart swell with （54）Bfor what my son had done．I smiled at the teacher．"Thank you，"I said，reaching for Jonathan's hand，"you've （55）Dmy day．"

14．In the computer age，most of us take a broadband（宽带）Internet connection for granted．Whether cable or mobile broadband，today's connections are many times faster than those in the early days．Videos play smoothly，complex websites load quickly，and files（档案文件）download much faster than ten years ago．And the files are much bigger too．
There's a catch，of course：You have to live near enough to a major city to get broadband Internet．If you don't，it's slow dial-up access for you．And for those living really far out，there may be no Internet access at all．
Technology experts often talk about the"last mile"problem，which refers to the difficulty of bringing Internet access to remote locations．In cities and suburbs（郊区），it's relatively easy to provide access for everyone．It is much more difficult to deliver access to those living far from cities，especially in developing countries．Internet service providers，for their part，have been reluctant to provide access to sparsely （稀疏地） populated areas．The handful of Internet users they would reach wouldn't cover the expense．
But every year，technological advancements allow of more and more Internet users．Most broadband connections today run over existing cable TV and telephone lines although these technologies aren't available everywhere．
Some companies have delivered the Internet over standard power lines．Advancements in cheaper，more efficient fiber optics cables （光纤电缆） promise to bring extremely fast Internet connections to more users．
Still，the"last mile"problem remains hard to deal with．There will always be somewhere that doesn't have an affordable broadband connection．But someday that might not matter．If the rapid progress in cell phone technology is any indication （迹象），it may not be too long before an Internet connection simply follows you wherever you go．
68．The underlined part"a catch"（in Paragraph 2）probably means"D"．
A．a rare challenge                 B．a desirable plan
C．an efficient device              D．a hidden problem
69．What can we know from the third paragraph？D
A．Internet connection has not been popular in most cities．
B．Internet service providers care about rural（农村的）customers．
C．Computer is popular in developing countries．
D．It is hard to bring Internet access to users in remote areas．
70．Paragraph 4 mainly tells us that technological advancementsC．
A．make TV and telephone available everywhere
B．bring great change to people's everyday life
C．make it possible for more people to use the Internet
D．bring faster Internet connections to users
71．What may eventually settle the"last mile"problem？D
A．The broadband connection's getting faster．
B．More and more Internet users．
C．more and more Internet connections．
D．The rapid progress in cell phone technology．
13．When asked to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves，many put friends ahead of homes，jobs，cloth and cars．
A true friendship carries-a-long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected．It is a treasure we should protect．Unfortunately，the better friends you are，the more probably you'll have disagreements．And the result can be what you don't want an end to the relationship．
The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended First，don't let your pride get in your way．Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open．second，apologize when you're wrong-even if you've been wronged．Over the course of a friendship，even the best people make mistakes．Sometimes，it may be best if the wronged persontakes the lead and apologizes．When you apologize，give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong．Third，see things from your friend's point of view．And finally，accept that friendships change as our needs and lifestyle change．Making friends can sometimes seem easy．The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships．My suggestion：Consider friendship an honor and a gift，and worth the effort to treasure and nurture．

10．Men are happier with money，while women find greater joy in friendships and relationships with their children，co-workers and bosses，a new global survey indicates．
The online survey of 28，153people in more than 51countries by global marketing and information firm Nielsen found that as the world struggles with a recession（衰退） and financial markets remain declined，many people are reminding themselves that money can't buy happiness．
The Nielsen Happiness Study found that globally，women are happier than men in 48of the 51countries surveyed in August 2009，and only in Brazil，South Africa and Vietnam were men found to be happier than women．
"Because they are happier with non-economic factors，women's happiness is more recession-proof which might explain why women around the world are happier in general than men are，"Nielsen Vice President of Consumer Research Bruce Paul said in a statement．    Japanese women reported the greatest difference and are 15percent happier than Japanese men．Women are also more optimistic about the future，scoring higher than men on predictions of their happiness in the next six months．
Women were also more content with their marriage life，the study found．Japanese and New Zealand women reported the greatest difference in satisfaction with their marriage life．
Men are generally happier with their physical health than women，and this is especially pronounced in South Africa．Egypt   bucks the trend，with women rating their happiness with their health considerably higher than men．
Globally，men rated their happiness with their mental health higher than women．It was the same in Belgium，South Korea，Mexico，Norway，Spain，Sweden，Egypt，and Israel．
There are three main drivers of happiness globally，according to the study：personal financial situation，mental health and job/career．Being satisfied with your partner is also important for happiness．

61．The passage mainly centers aroundB．
A．key drivers leading to happiness

64．According to the passage，which of the following statements is NOT right？C

D．Women's happiness is less likely affected by financial crisis．
65．Which country has the biggest difference in happiness between men and women？A

9．Some years ago when I was in my first year in college．I heard Salome Bey sing for the first time．The moment was exciting．Salome's（36）Bfilled the room and brought the theater to life．1was so （37）D that I decided to write all article about her．
I （38）C Salome Bey，telling her I was from Essence magazine，and that I wanted to meet her to talk her career．She （39）A and told me to come to her studio next Tuesday．When I hung up，1was scared out of my mind．I （40）DI was lying．I was not a writer at all and hadn't even written a grocery list．

It didn't take long．My manuscript（45）B．How stupid of me!I thought．How could I（46）D in a world of professional writers？Knowing I couldn't （47）Cthe rejection letter，I threw the unopened envelope into a drawer．
Five years later．I was moving to California．While （48）C my apartment I came across the unopened envelope．This time I opened it and read the editor's letter in （49）A：
Dear Ms Profit，
Your story on Salome Bey is fantastic．Yet we need some （50）B materials．Please add those and return the article immediately．We would like to （51）Cyour story soon．
Shocked，it took me a long time to （52）A．Fear of rejection cost me dearly．I lost at least five hundred dollars and having my article appear in major magazine．More importantly，I lost years of （53）Dwriting．Today，I have become a full-time writer．Looking back on this （54）A，I learned a very important lesson：You can't （55）Bto doubt yourself．
