5．Alice，my friend's daughter，goes to an expensive private school where she has a friend，Jane，who is on a full scholarship at this school．Jane has （36）Ceconomic resources-her father has been dead for years and her mother works （37）D a maid．Although her mother works very hard，she can （38）C support the family．Jane is very bright and gifted at（39）A and that's how she has got the scholarship，which included a（n） （40）B for things like lunch，school uniform and music lessons．
Alice became friends with Jane and would （41）A talk to her at lunch．She did it that way in order to avoid the other kids （42）C her．
On her birthday last month，she （43）B her new friend to her birthday party，but Jane said she couldn't come．Alice wanted her to be （44）Dso much that she（45）B on her coming．Eventually，the girl said，"I don't have any （46）C clothes that I could wear at your birthday party．"After a brief pause，the girl remembered，"I have a （47）A from my piano performance，"and asked，"Could I （48）B a skirt from you？"
Alice was happy that her friend would be（49）D to come and hurried home to ask her Mum （50）Bshe could lend her friend one of her skirts．To her surprise，her Mum said，"No．"The daughter was very （51）B and angrily said to her Mum，"（52）A I could，I would give my friend all my clothes．"The Mother didn't understand why her daughter should have had such an outburst as she's normally very well （53）D．
Finally，Alice explained to her Mother her friend's （54）C．Her Mother immediately changed her mind and said，"Yes．"She also encouraged her daughter not to feel like she should secretly be friends with Jane but to feel proud of her（55）Bwith her．
So the true friendship seeks to give，not to take； to help，not to be helped； to minister，not to be ministered unto．

2．Recently，university students around the world were asked to volunteer in a global experiment called Unplugged．It was designed to see how young people would react if they were asked to observe a total media ban by unplugging all forms of media devices for 24 hours．
Unplugged is being run by Dr．Roman Gerodimos，a lecturer in Communication and Journalism at Bournemouth University．During the experiment，Dr．Gerodimos said there were already signs of how much the exercise affected volunteers．He said："They're reporting withdrawal symptoms，overeating，feeling nervous，isolated and disconnected．"
During their 24-hour test，three of the experiment's participants were followed around by a BBC reporter plus cameraman．They were asked to write down 100 lines about their day offline，but of course，they all waited until the next day when they had access to their laptops．
Elliot Day wrote："Today，my whole morning routine was thrown up into the air．Despite being aware of the social importance of the media，I was surprised by how empty my life felt without the radio or newspapers．"
From Caroline Scott，we read："I didn't expect it，but being deprived of the media for 24 hours resulted in my day-to-day activities becoming so much harder to carry out than usual…I didn't break out in a cold sweat like our lecturer expected us all to，but It's not something I would like to do again！"
And Charlotte Gay wrote："I have to say the most difficult item for me to be without has been  my mobile；not only is it a social device，it's my main access point of communication．"
Earlier in the year，a UK government study found that in the UK we spend about half our waking hours using the media，often plugged into several things at once．So，with technology continuing to develop at an alarming rate，how much time will you set aside for sleep in the future？

1．Few laws are so effective that you can see results just days after they take effect．But in the nine days since the federal cigarette tax more than doubled-to $ 1.01 per pack-smokers have jammed telephone"quit lines"across the country seeking to kick the habit．
    This is not a surprise to public health advocates．They've studied the effect of state tax increases for years，finding that smokers，especially teens，are price sensitive．Nor is it a shock to the industry，which fiercely fights every tax increase．
    The only wonder is that so many states insist on closing their ears to the message．Tobacco taxes improve public health，they raise money and most particularly，they deter people from taking up the habit as teens，which is when nearly all smokers are addicted．Yet the rate of taxation varies widely．
    In Manhattan，for instance，which has the highest tax in the nation，a pack of Marlboro Light Kings cost 10.06 at one drugstore Wednesday．In Charleston，S．C．，where the 7-cent-a-pack tax is the lowest in the nation，the price was  4.78．
    The influence is obvious．
    In New York，high school smoking hit a new low in the latest surveys-13.8%，far below the national average．By comparison，26% of high school students smoke in Kentucky．Other low-tax states have similarly depressing teen-smoking records．
    Hal Rogers，Representative from Kentucky，like those who are against high tobacco taxes，argues that the burden of the tax falls on low-income Americans"who choose to smoke．"
    That's true．But there is more reason in keeping future generations of low-income workers from getting hooked in the first place．As for today's adults，if the new tax drives them to quit，they will have more to spend on their families，cut their risk of cancer and heart disease and feel better．

61．The text is mainly aboutC．
A．the price of cigarettes                        
B．the rate of teen smoking
C．the effect of tobacco tax increase             
D．the differences in tobacco tax rate
62．What does the author think is a surprise？B
A．Teen smokers are price sensitive．
B．Some states still keep the tobacco tax low．
C．Tobacco taxes improve public health．
D．Tobacco industry fiercely fights the tax rise．
63．The underlined word"deter"in Paragraph 3 most probably meansA．
A．discourage         B．remove            C．benefit                    D．free
64．Rogers'attitude towards the low-income smokers might be that ofD．
A．tolerance           B．unconcern              C．doubt               D．sympathy
65．What can we learn from the last paragraph？A
A．The new tax will be beneficial in the long run．
B．Low-income Americans are more likely to fall ill．
C．Future generations will be hooked on smoking．
D．Adults will depend more on their families．
20．以"My favourite teacher"，写一篇100字左右的短文，可以适当发挥．（enthusiastic，patient，encourage）
               ．
19．"No man is an island"is a well-known line from John Donne's Devotion．It was written more than three hundred years ago．（51）C No one can live a completely lonely life．Without other people，life will become empty and sad．We all need to have friends．
For some of us，although making friends is not difficult，feeling shy，we may not want to make the first move．It is also difficult at times to keep the friends we already have．
There are many books about friendship，but Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People，written in 1936，is the most famous．This"how to"book about getting along with other people became a best seller．（52）E
Dale Carnegie's advice seems to be simple，but can his advice help you？Do you need to change the way you act？Here is the list of advice from his book：
Be friendly and polite．
（53）A．Begin with"Excuse me"or"Would you please"when you want to ask somebody．Remember to say"Thank you"and try to be as helpful as you can．
Go out of your way to be nice．
（54）F Making some soup for a sick neighbour may seem like a little thing to you，but it will make your neighbor feel a lot better．
Remember names．
They say that the sweetest music to a person's ears is the sound of his or her own name．
Be open-minded．
（55）GListen patiently．
When someone is talking to you，look at him or her，listen carefully and say something when necessary．

A． Always greet with a smile
B．When you are wrong，make an apology first
C．Even now people still agree with him
D．Most people will agree with your friends
E． It was later put into 28 languages
F．Find some time to do special things for other people
G．Try to understand other people's ways and ideas and learn something from them．
18．A reader wrote in to say that she was feeling lonely at break because her best friend wasn't around．Here's our advice to her-and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes．
It's hard when a best friend isn't around-maybe because she moved to a different school or a different class．You may feel lonely at break or lunchtime．You want to have new friends．but how do you make them？Maybe it seems like everybody else already has their friends．But remember，there's always room for more friends．
Start by looking around your classroom-think about which kids you'd like to play with at break．Look for chances to say hi to them，smile，and be friendly．Offer to share something or express your appreciation（欣赏）to them．Invite someone to play with you or  say"Do you want to sit here？"in the lunchroom．When you're at break，walk over to kids you want to play with．act friendly，and say"Hi，can l play，too？"or just join in．
If you have trouble doing  this or if you're feeling shy，ask your teacher to help you make  new friends．Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends．The best way to make friends is to be a friend．Be kind，be friendly，share，say nice things，offer to help-and pretty soon，you'll have one，or two，or even more new friends．
You might still miss that special best friend．But when you see each other，you can share something you didn't have before she left：You can introduce her to your new friends!

48．This text is written forC．

49．The underlined word this in Paragraph 4refers toD．
A．sharing your ideas               B．talking before many people
C．studying better at school         D．developing new friendship
50．Some kids need help from teachers to make friends becauseD•
A．they miss their old friends a lot
B．they have no time to stay with others
C．teachers know who wants a new friend
D．they are shy or not good at making friends．
17．Is there someone you hate？Well，maybe you don't really hate them．But you get really angry every time you think of them．If you don't let this anger go，it can turn into bitterness （痛苦）．
Bitterness appears when we can't forgive （原谅） someone who has hurt us or made us angry．Someone might say or do something that hurts us．But instead of controlling the anger，we keep it deep inside．Before long，a bitter feeling begins to grow．We may think we're hurting that person by criticizing （指责） him or her often，but we're really only hurting ourselves．
Bitterness can not only lead to serious health problems such as heart disease，but also hurt our relationships with friends and family members．No one enjoys being around an angry person for very long．
If you see bitterness in your life，here are some ways to deal with it．
Accept it
Instead of trying to deny your anger，make it clear to yourself and accept it．See your anger for what it is and quickly deal with it．
Stop making excuses for it
You may feel you have a right to be angry．You may think you're right and the other person is wrong．You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look bad．But in the end，bitterness hurts you much more than the other person．The bitterness will hold you back，and the other person will go on with his or her life．
Forgive and forget it
You probably can't completely put the anger out of your mind．But you can decide to forgive the other person．Forget it and move on．You'll enjoy better health and peace of mind．
