8．Everyone needs friends．We all like to feel close to someone．It is nice to have a friend to talk，laugh and do things with．Surely，there are times when we need to be alone．We don't always want people around．But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend．
No two people are the same．Sometimes friends don't get along well，which doesn't mean that they no longer like each other．Most of the time they will go on being friends．Sometimes friends move away，then we feel very sad．We miss them much，but we can call them and write to them．Maybe we would never see them again，and we can make new friends．It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them．Families sometimes name their children after a close friend．Many places are named after men and women，if they are friendly to people in a town．Some libraries are named this way．So are some schools．We think of these people when we go to these places．
There's more good news for people，if they have friends．These people live longer than those people if those don't have friends．Why？It could be that they are happier．Being happy helps you stay well．Or it could be just knowing that someone cares，if someone cares about you，you will take better care of yourself．

7．Around the world there are some festivals that for some of us may sound bizarre．
In England they celebrate the rolling cheese race，which occurs every year during the last Monday in May．This festival's characteristic is a contest where an official rolls cheese down a steep hill and festival-goers go chasing after it．The winner is the first one to reach and catch the cheese．
Another festival celebrated in England is the world championship of grimaces （鬼脸）．It is a celebration that dates back to 1297 and is celebrated during the month of September．The task is to perform the best grimace using anything you can to win．
The worldwide championship of wife lifting is celebrated in Finland．The game is based on Viking traditions where a man should carry away his neighbor's wife．According to the rules，any woman above 17 is considered as a wife，so if you are within this age，take care while visiting this country during the month of July．
Many of you have watched Pirates of the Caribbean and have known something about pirates．The 19th of September has been declared worldwide as the day to talk like a pirate．Plenty of people have celebrated it thanks to the publicity （宣传） on the Internet．
First staged in 1998，the Boryeong Mud Festival is an attraction that pulls more than a million visitors to the South Korean City．As you all know，the town is said to be rich in minerals，so there is no shortage of mud．Mud is trucked onto Daecheon Beach for tourists and locals to enjoy the festival to their best．
The Monkey Buffet Festival is held in Thailand to develop tourism．It's an unusual feast held for about 600 monkeys．The Monkey Buffet Festival is held in honor of the Hindu gods Ram and Hanuman and involves 3，000 kilograms of vegetables and fruits being laid out for monkeys to stuff themselves．

6．A major new development in system of work in Britain is taking place．Flexible working hours，or"Flextime"，are catching on fast，and trend is continuing．In 1973，over 500 organizations had adopted the idea，and by 1974，this number had risen to over 200，000．
   Flexible working hours were invented in Germany in the late 1960's，but reached Britain only in 1972．The system allows workers to start and finish work whenever they want，with only two requirements．These are，firstly，that all workers must present for certain"key"times in the day，and secondly，that all workers must work an agreed total number of hours per week．
   The system had proved a total success wherever it has been tried．A survey of 700 workers on flexible hours showed three main advantages：a better balance between working and private life，avoidance of the need to travel during rush hours and the ability to finish a certain task before leaving．
   From the employer's point of view，the system tends to increase productivity，reduce labour turnover and give workers a greater sense of duty．At first，"Flexible"was mainly confined to white-collar workers，but it is now being applied to manual workers too．
65．According to"Flextime"system，workers need notA．
A．work at the same time               
B．work all the weekdays

B．totally correct
C．a complete failure                   
D．quite difficult
68．One of the great advantages of"Flextime"for workers is that theyB．
A．have a great sense of duty           
B．can avoid busy traffic
C．can get higher pay                 
D．can avoid working hard．

Seventeen years ago，when I was in military college，I was known as"the worrying wreck from Virginia Tech"．I worried so（41）Fthat I often became ill．In（42）A，I poured out my troubles to Professor Baird，professor of business administration．The fifteen minutes that I spent with Professor Baird did more for my health and happiness than all the rest of the four years I spent in college．"Jim，"he said，"you ought to sit down and face the facts．If you（43）Ihalf as much time and energy to solving your problems as you do to worrying about them，you wouldn't have any worries．"
I figured that I had failed physics because I had no interest in the subject．But now I changed my attitude．I said to myself，"If the college（44）Bdemand that I pass my physics examination before I obtain a degree，who am I to question their wisdom？"
So I （45）Efor physics again．This time I passed because instead of wasting my time in worrying about how hard it was，I studied（46）C．
I solved my（47）Gworries by taking on some additional jobs，such as selling punch at the college dances，and by borrowing money from my father，which I paid back soon after（48）J．
As I look back at it now，I can see that my problem was one of（49）D，a lack of willingness to find the causes of my worry and face them realistically．
4．Some dances gain more popularity than others because they can be performed to different kinds of music and the steps change accordingly．One such dance is waltz（华尔兹）．
    There is a basic form for waltz，which you can see in this drawing of a dancing couple．The man places one arm around the woman's waist and she places her opposite hand on his shoulder．Then，they stretch their other arms out from their bodies and clasp hand．If someone tries to teach you a formal kind of dancing，chances are your teacher will start with the waltz．Have you ever tried to dance like this？
     There are lots of different kinds of waltz，all performed to different types of waltz music．The music might be fast or slow but what they all have is a regular one-two-three，one-two-three rhythm．
  The traditional form is the old-school waltz in which dancers turn all the time with a hopping（跳跃），springy step．This waltz has a slow，smooth，gliding step．There's also the Mexican waltz，which moves much faster．Listen to this Mexican waltz music and you can imagine how fast the dancers had to move．
    Formal dancing has even become a profession，with people entering competitions．Have you ever seen a formal dance competition？
    Today，ballroom dancing is almost considered a competitive sport； professionals perform different dances，each with strict rules．Everything from where the dancers place their hands to how they move is judged．In the glide waltz，dancers are judged by how smoothly they move．"I can dance with a glass of water on my head，"is a well known sentence used by skilled dancers in the old days．In the past，some people learned how to dance by reading books，while others studied with a teacher called the"dancing master．"How do people learn to dance today？

Susan and I loved jazz and we（66）dreamed/dreamtof becoming musicians．We decided to form a band so that we could（67）makesome extra money by playing and singing in a pub（酒吧）．The regulars（常客） there were very kind to us．They （68）suggestedwe go to record our songs in a studio．We wondered if they were playing a（69）jokeon us as they were often very humorous to each other．
（70）However，to our great surprise，everything was（71）organizedand we made our record．Imagine our excitement when we heard it（72）broadcaston the radio for the first time!It was almost as（73）excitingas later when we became millionaires．Now whenever we go to the pub，we play our songs and（74）buydrinks for the regulars．Although we are（75）famous，we still like to play in the familiar places．
2．How can you find out what is going on inside a person's body without opening the patient's body up？Regular X rays can show a lot．CAT scans can show even more．They can give a complete view of body organs．
What is a CAT scan？CAT stands for a kind of machine．It is a special X-ray machine that gets a 360-degree picture of a small area of a patient's body．
Doctors use X rays to study and determine diseases and injuries within the body，X rays can find a foreign object inside the body or take pictures of some inside organs to be X-rayed．
A CAT scanner，however，uses a group of X rays to give a cross-sectional（横截面）view of a specific part of the body．A fine group of X rays is scanned across the body and around the patient from many different directions．A computer studies the information from each direction and produces a clear cross-sectional picture on a screen．This picture is then photographed for later use．Several cross sections，taken one after another，can give clear"photos"of the entire body or of any body organs．The latest CAT scanners can even give clear pictures of active，moving organs，just as a fast-action camera can"stop the action"，giving clear pictures of what appears unclear to the eye．And because of the 360-degree pictures，CAT scans show clear and complete views of organs in a manner that was once only shown during operation or examination of a dead patient．
Frequent appearance before X rays can cause skin burns，cancer or other damage to the body．Yet CAT scans actually don't cause the patient to more radiation than regular X rays do．CAT scans can also be done without getting something harmful into the patient，so they are less risky than regular X rays．
CAT scans provide exact，detailed information．They can quickly find such a thing as bleeding inside the brain．They are helping to save lives．
46．What is NOT true of a CAT scan？C
A．It is safer than regular X rays．
B．It makes use of computer techniques．
C．It can stop the action of an organ for a short time．
D．It gives clear pictures of active，moving body parts．
47．The underlined words"a foreign object"（Para 3）most probably refer to．D
A．a badly injured part inside the body
B．a new thing that is unknown to the doctor
C．a strange organ that has grown in the body
D．an object that gets inside the body by chance
48．What is the special use of the latest CAT scanners？A

B．It can take 3-dimension（三维）pictures of inside organs．
C．It won't cause serious skin burns，cancer or other damage to the body．
D．It helps to find out what is going on inside a person's body without opening it up．
49．We can infer from this passage that．A
A．patients in front of CAT may suffer from a bit of radiation
B．doctors need no opening-up of the body with CAT scanners
C．CAT scanners are more expensive than regular X-ray machines
D．CAT scanners can take photos of either the whole body or a part of it

1．Each new school year brings fresh reminders of what educators call the summer learning gap．Some call it the summer learning setback．Simply speaking，it means the longer kids are out of school，the more they forget．The only thing they might gain is weight．
Most American schools follow a traditional nine-month calendar．Students get winter and spring breaks and about ten weeks of summer vacation．Some schools follow a year-round calendar．They hold classes for about eight weeks at a time，with a few weeks off in between．The National Association for Year-Round Education says there were fewer than three thousand such schools at last count．They were spread among forty-six of the fifty states．

Across the country，research shows that students from poor families fall farther behind over the summer than other students．Experts say this can be prevented．They note that many schools and local governments offer programs that can help．
But calling them"summer school"could be a problem．The director of the summer learning center at Johns Hopkins，Ron Fairchild，said research with groups of different parents in Chicago and Baltimore found that almost all strongly disliked the term summer school"．In American culture，the idea of summer vacation is connected to beliefs about freedom and the joys of childhood．The parents welcomed other terms like"summer camp，""enrichment，""extra time"and"hands-on learning．"
