18．For the first time in Hong Kong's history，an entertainer has been written into middle school textbooks．He is considered one of the best actors in Hong Kong．Yes，he is Chow Yun-fat．
The example of his long hard struggle for success has been used in a chapter in a Hong Kong middle school textbook．Using his experience，students can learn to make the most of their time and to grab every opportunity to succeed．
On hearing about this，Chow said happily，"I really hope that my experiences can make young people understand that one should not be afraid of difficulties and setbacks，for they are the only way to success．"

Chow broke into the film industry in the late 1970s．He was one of the hardest working actors and starred in a number of popular TV dramas and films including"Shanghai Bund"（《上海滩》） and"A Better Tomorrow"．Since 1985，he has won many awards including Taiwan's Golden Horse Awards and Hong Kong Film Awards．
In 1995，he went to Hollywood．Although he was already over 40，he had to learn English．He even put chopsticks in his mouth to practise pronouncing certain sounds．His film，"Crouching Tiger，Hidden Dragon"，began to gain him more fame and recognition around the world．In 1998，the mayor of Chicago set aside January 12as"Chow Yun-fat Day"．

17．PALO AITO，California-"Switching off the television may help prevent children from getting fatter-even if they do not change their diet or increase the amount they exercise，"US researchers said last week．
A study of 192third and fourth grades，generally aged eight and nine，found that children who cut the number of hours spent watching television gained nearly two pounds（0.91kg） less over a one-year period than those who did not change their television diet．
"The findings are important because they show that weight loss can only be the result of a reduction in television viewing and not any other activity，"said Thomas Robinson，a pediatrician（儿科专家） at Stanford University．
"American children spend an average of more than four hours per day watching television and videos or playing games，and rates of childhood being very fat have doubled over the past 20years，"Robinson said．
In the study，presented this week to the Pediatric Academic Societies'annual meeting in San Francisco，the researchers persuaded about 100of the students to reduce their television viewing by one-quarter to one-third．
Children watching fewer hours of television showed a significantly smaller increase in waist size and had less body fat than other students who continue their normal television viewing，even though neither group ate a special diet nor took part in any extra exercise．
"One explanation for the weight loss could be the children unstuck to the television may simply have been moving around and burning off calories，"Robinson said．
"Another reason might be due to eating fewer meals in front of the television．Some studies have suggested that eating in front of the TV encourages people to eat more，"Robinson added．

16．In the animal kingdom，weakness can bring about aggression in other animal．This sometimes happens with humans also．But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people．I see it every day when people hold doors for me，pour cream into my coffee，or help me to put on my coat．And I have discovered that it makes them happy．
From my wheelchair experience，I see the best in people，but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily．They don't get to see this soft side of others often； we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness，which includes a lot of pretending．But only when we stop pretending we're brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that's in them．
Last month，when I was driving home on a busy highway，I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual．People behind me began to get impatient and angry，with some speeding up alongside me，horning （按喇叭） or even shouting at me．At the moment I decided to do something I had never done in twenty four years of driving．I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed．
No more angry shouts and no more horns!When I put on my flashlights，I was saying to other drivers，"I have a problem here．I am weak and doing the best I can．"And everyone understood．Several times，I saw drivers who wanted to pass．They couldn't get around me because of the stream of passing traffic．But instead of getting impatient and angry，they waited，knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak．
Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don't feel that way．But those are few and far between．More often，it would be better if we don't pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared．

15．When Mount St．Helens broke out at 8：32a．m．on May 18，1980，Washington-based Bruce Nelson and Sue Ruff，both 22，were camping with four friends on the banks of the state's Green River--a probably safe 14miles north of the volcano eating marshmallows for breakfast．But the anger of St．Helens spared nothing in her reach，and within minutes nearly every tree in 15miles had been destroyed out of the ground．
Nelson and Ruff were blown into a deep hole left by a up-rooted tree．After the violent explosion ended，the couple hid under a pile of debris （残骸） as huge ice pieces fell from the sky．Later，they heard two of their friends，Brian Thomas and Dan Balch，calling for help．Balch had been severely burned by a heat molten rock，which had melted the flesh off his arms，and he had no shoes．Thomas had been hit by a tree，which broke his back．Nelson and Ruff made a safe place for Thomas，walked Balch to the river，and then began walking through hot，knee-high ash to find help．
That night，they were found by emergency helicopters and rescued．Nelson argued with the National Guard pilot until he agreed to take him back up to the camp to get his friends．By then，Balch had been given an extra pair of shoes by a group of passing survivors and had walked out with them，and Thomas was later sent away by a small helicopter．Five days after the explosion，the police agreed to fly Nelson back up to his camp to look for his other two friends，Terry Crall and Karen Varner，who were still missing．He found them in their tent，Crall's arm wrapped protectively over Varner--both dead，with a tree on their bodies．

Mr．Smith is my new neighbor．He moved there last week．He is 34years old and a father of a three---years---old girl，who is very lovely．He is now working like an engineer in a company．Every day he gets up earlier and goes to work by bus．He is always busy but usually works until midnight．His wife，Mrs Smith was a school teacher．She teaches so good that her students love her very much．She takes care their daughter after work．But she always complains about that her husband never helps with the housework．Though she is satisfied with this，she still loves her husband．

13．I think the reason why Wang Baoqiang-a young actor，became so popular is that the character he acted on the Spring Festival Gala Evening stage stands for a special group in China off-farm workers．
（61）Asis known，off-farm workers make great（62）contribution（contribute） to the development of our modern cities．They are actively involved in various kinds of jobs，（63）includingbaby-sitting，building，which are usually tiring，dangerous and dirty．There is（64）nodoubt that without them many of the construction projects，such as the Olympics ones，would have to be held up for lack of manpower．
However，as（65）asaying goes，"A coin has two sides，"（66）sois the case of off-farm workers．
They have difficulty in getting their children into schools because they are not regular residents in the city．On the other hand，being（67）ignorant（ignore），some of them would become a potential threat to the peace and（68）stability（stable） of the society．
As far as I am concerned，we should appreciate the great contribution（69）made（make） to them and at the same time we should make them educated better and live a better life，and（70）thusthey will not be a threat to our society．

12．Imagine this； your child has just been involved in an emergency．You call 911．The medical workers rush in and begin asking you questions as they work to rescue your child．But they also ask questions about your child's medical history．It's hard to think clearly．You begin to answer and then end up saying，"I don't remember．I don't know．"So many doctors suggest that parents keep handy a record of their children's important healthy facts．This can often help the medical team make a better and more rapid diagnosis of a problem at a time when time really counts．
The most important information to know is the child's allergies（过敏）．It is especially crucial if the child is allergies to any medicine----peniclin，for example．Food allergies can come into play，so make a note of those as well．Children who have been hospitalized in the past may have developed latex（胶乳） allergies．Often this information can help emergency workers find a cause for problems like breathing difficulties．
Keep a list of any medicine，including what your child is now taking．Some medicines can cause adverse reaction when they are taken together，so the doctors need this information before they give your child anything．You'll need to know when the child took the medicine last and how much was taken．
It is also important to tell emergency workers about any health problem or illness that your child has had．These pre-existing conditions can have a huge effect on the type of tests and treatment in an emergency．Consider having any child who has a health problem wear a tag around his neck．This kind of rapid notice can help doctors who are providing emergency care，especially if your child suddenly becomes ill at day care，school or a friend's house．

21．What's the function of the example in paragraph 1．？B
A．To tell us what we should do in an emergency．
B．To tell us the importance of keeping a record of children's health facts

24．Doctors can make a rapid diagnosis of a problem with the help of knowing the following EXCEPTC．
A．the medicine the child took last and the amount．
B．if the child is allergic to any medicine
C．if your child suddenly becomes ill at day care，school，or a friend's house．
D．if your child has had any health problem or illness．

11．A person，like a commodity（商品），needs packaging．But going too far is absolutely undesirable．A little exaggeration（夸张），however，does no harm when it shows the person's unique qualities to their advantages．To show personal attractiveness in a casual and natural way，it is important for one to have a clear knowledge of oneself．A skilled packager knows how to add art to nature without any signs of embellishment（装饰），so that the person to be packaged is not a commodity but a human being，lively and lovely．
A young person，especially a female，shining with beauty and full of life，has all the favor granted by God．Any attempt to make up would be self-defeating．Youth，however，comes and goes in a flash．Packaging for the middle-aged is primarily to hide the marks made by years．If you still enjoy life enough to keep self-confidence and work at pioneering work，you are unique in your natural qualities，and your attractiveness and grace will remain．Elderly people are beautiful if their river of life has been through plains，mountains and jungles，running its course as it should．You have really lived your life，which now arrives at a self-satisfied stage of quietness and calmness with no interest in fame or wealth．There is no need to make use of hair dyeing．The snow-capped mountain is itself a beautiful scene of fairyland．Let your looks change from young to old in step with the natural aging process so as to keep in harmony（和谐）with nature for harmony itself is beauty，while the other way round will only end in unpleasantness． To be in the elder's company is like reading a thick book of deluxe （ better quality） edition that attracts one so much as to be unwilling to part with．
As long as one finds where one stands，one knows how to package oneself，just as a commodity sets up its brand by the right packaging．

10．Children who are brought up by two parents grow up to be cleverer than those raised by just one person，new research suggests．Being with both parents in the earliest years of life leads to a child developing more brain cells，the scientists believe．Being brought up by both parents causes boys to have better memory and learning functions．By contrast，it causes girls to develop improved co-ordination and sociability．
It is believed that babies with two parents tend to get more attention and more stability（稳定），and that they are less likely to suffer emotional distress（悲伤） in the first years of life．This leads to greater brain cell production------for boys it is grey matter brain cells that develop and for girls is white matter brain cells．
The researchers from Canada studied mice and experimented by creating one-parent and two-parent family groups．They then measured the offspring's（后代的） brain cell development from birth to adulthood．Adult mice with the highest number of brain cells turned out to be those who had been brought up by two parents rather than one．As babies they had received more attention and more nursing as both parents took turns to lick and tend to their youngsters，said Dr Samuel Weiss．
As a result，the babies with two parents are less likely to suffer early life hurt which can have a massive impact on how their brains develop in later life，the research shows．However，what did surprise the researchers is that female babies who grew up with both parents turned out to be good single mothers，as if good parenting was passed on．
The researchers said，"In the mouse model，parenting and the environment directly impacted adult brain cell production．It is possible that similar effects could be seen in other mammals，such as humans．"
59．From the first paragraph we can draw a conclusion thatC．
A．Girls have better memory and learning functions．
B．Boys are better at co-ordination and sociability．
C．The benefits vary between the sexes．
D．The benefits are the same between the sexes．
60．The researchers proved their ideaB．
A．by questionnaire on parents．B．by experiment on mice．
C．by raising babies themselves．D．by experiment on humans．
61．The underlined word"impacted"meansC．
A．destroyed B．constructed C．influenced D．disagreed
62．What does the passage mainly tell us？A
A．Children brought up by two parents are cleverer．
B．Children brought up by single parent are cleverer．
C．Children grow up themselves are cleverer．
D．Children grow up themselves are more self-confident．

9．Experienced liars can make use of gestures to take you in； for instance，they often ______ look at you straight in the eyes as if they were telling the truth．（　　）
