3．When you are hungry，what will you respond？Have your favorite meal and stay quiet after that？（16）C But it never lets you know，because you keep it busy thinking about your friends or favorite stars．So it silently serves your needs and never lets itself grow．When mind loses its freedom to grow，creativity sets a full stop．This might be the reason why we all sometimes think"What happens next？"，or"Why can't I think？"
（17）E Why reading but not watching TV？It is because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from childhood．Since it develops other aspects of our life，we have to take help from reading．
When you read a book，of course you run your eyes through the lines and your mind tries to explain something to you．（18）ANow this seed is unknowingly used by you to develop new ideas．If it is used many times，the same seed can give you great help to relate a lot of things，which you would have never thought of in your wildest dreams!
This is nothing but creativity．（19）G Within no time you can start talking with your friends in English or any other language and never run out of the right words．
So，friends，do give food to your thoughts by reading，reading and more reading．（20）D
Go and get a book!

A．The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed．
B．Why not do some reading while you are hungry？

2．Getting your children to study can be a little like getting them to eat their vegetables．
（36）G Make a study time and have it at the same time every day．This will help your kids to learn to schedule their day and will give them a sense of control over how they spend their time．
Allow them to study in blocks of time，such as for half an hour with a fiveminute break in the middle．（37）B Ideal（理想的） study times are after dinner or right after school before dinner．
Never allow your children to study in front of the television，for that will encourage passive activity．（38）E
You'll also need to help your kids find the right place to study．After you've set up a good study time for little learners，set up a good place where they can get those creative juices flowing．
（39）A Make sure there is a table or a desk and a comfortable chair at this place．
（40）C This includes helping them out with their homework sometimes and being there for them with the answers to any questions．The input you give your children during study periods will help form a bond and help make studying enjoyable．
A．Pick a place where your children can study properly．
B．Hold them to the schedule they create for themselves．
C．Finally，spend time with your kids when they're studying．
D．Keep the atmosphere light and offer lots of encouragement，too．
E．Instead，use TV as a treat or a reward when the homework is completed．
F．Try to stop this bad habit by offering some sort of reward．
G．One of the best ways to form good study habits for your kids is to design a schedule that they keep to．

1．（36）B．Scientists have learnt that Mars seems to be the planet with the best conditions for life after Earth．（37）E．The reason is that the air on Mars is mainly made up of carbon dioxide，nitrogen，and argon，all of which humans cannot breathe，and has only 0.13% oxygen，while the oxygen content of the air on Earth adds up to 21%．
（38）D．We now know there isn't enough oxygen on Mars for humans to breathe，but there are signs of water there．NASA scientists have found ice on Mars，and there is some water in the atmosphere．The Phoenix Mars Lander landed on the planet on May 25，2008，to find out if there was life there，and to explore the planet's climate and geology．（39）G．A physicist once said，"We agree that life can exist under different conditions．We now believe that there might have been some form of life on Mars billions of years ago，maybe deep underground．（40）F．On the question of humans going to live on Mars-well，first of all，we have to sort out some problems．And then…who knows？"

A．The physicist is not sure whether people will live on Mars one day．
B．Whether life can exist on Mars has been a question in the minds of experts for a long time．
C．Humans can't breathe on Mars because there is too little air there．
D．As far as we know，for life to exist，two essentials are needed-air and water．
E．However，if people went to live on Mars tomorrow，they won't be able to breathe．
F．Personally，I think that if we knew where to look，we would find life on Mars today．
G．The information that it sends back will help us prepare for sending people to explore Mars in the future．

20．A garden that's just right for you
Have you ever visited a garden that seemed just right for you，where the atmosphere of the garden appeared to total more than the sum （总和） of its parts？（76）F．But it doesn't happen by accident．It starts with looking inside yourself and understanding who you are with respect to the natural world and
how you approach the gardening process．
●（77）A
Some people may think that a garden is no more than plants，flowers，patterns and masses of color．Others are concerned about using gardening methods that require less water and fewer fertilizers （肥料）．（78）E．However，there are a number of other reasons that might explain why you want to
garden．One of them comes from our earliest years．
●Recall （回忆） your childhood memories
Our model of what a garden should be often goes back to childhood．Grandma's rose garden and Dad's vegetable garden might be good or bad，but that's not what's important．（79）C-how being in those gardens made us feel．If you'd like to build a powerful bond with your garden，start by taking some time to recall the gardens of your youth．（80）G．Then go outside and work out a plan to
translate your childhood memories into your grown-up garden．Have fun．

F．You can produce that kind of magical quality in your own garden，too
G．For each of those gardens，write down the strongest memory you have．

19．People tend to become more personal and hide less of themselves when using email．Some Britain researchers have found in a recent study that there are good reasons for this．
The team of researchers asked 83pairs of students，all strangers to each other，to solve a problem．They had to discuss this question：（56）F The pairs of students had to talk over the problem either face to face or by computers．Dr．Johnson said，"They told their partners four times as much about themselves when they talked over the Internet as when they talked face to face．When the computers were fitted with cameras so that students could see each other，this limited the personal side of the conversation．"
（57）C It was mainly about things such as where they went to school，or where they used to live．But some students discussed their love stories，and personal childhood experiences．Dr．Johnson believes that emailing encourages people to focus on themselves．（58）E"If you cannot see other person，it becomes easier to talk about yourself．This is because you are not thinking what the other person is thinking of you．So emailing has become the modern way of talking，"said Dr．Johnson．（59）B"In the 19th century people started to use the„telegraph'to communicate．Now the same kind of thing has happened and people ended up speaking more freely．"Dr．Johnson thinks that emailers need to know about these effects of emailing，especially when they start work in a company，"（60）G"
A．Love stories are a popular choice．
B．However，this style of talking is not entirely new．
C．Generally，the information was not extremely personal．
D．The more personal information you give，the more friends you can make．
E．And when they do this，they become more open，especially if there are no cameras．
F．If only five people in the world could be saved from a world disaster，who should they be？
G．If you didn't know about it，you could find yourself saying more about yourself than you wanted to．

18．100years of memory and legendOn 10April 1912，an amazing，imposing new ocean liner steamed out of Southampton Harbour．（56）C She was the largest ship in the world at that time，and the most luxurious．Her passengers included some of the wealthiest people in the world．Everyone agreed this beautiful new ship was the best liner in existence-in fact，she was said to be unsinkable．
The ship's crew had absolute confidence in her．When，four days later，Captain Edward Smith gave his radio-men the order to transmit the international distress signal，SOS，they thought he was joking．He wasn't．At 2.20a．m．on 15April 1912，the Titanic sank beneath the freezing waters of the Atlantic．（57）F It is still one of the biggest peacetime maritime tragedies in history．
On 14April 2012，a passenger ship stopped in the North Atlantic．（58）D It was cold and dark.1，300passengers stood on deck as a memorial service was held for the people who died there．After hymns and prayers，two wreaths of flowers were thrown into the freezing water．
The story of the Titanic has touched and fascinated people for over a century．Mistakes were made that added up to disaster．（59）E There are records of generosity and courage that saved lives when so many others were lost．Millionaire Benjamin Guggenheim was offered one of the few places in a lifeboat，but said it should be given to a woman or a child，and chose instead to dress for dinner．Someone overheard him say‘We've dressed up in our best and are prepared to go down like gentlemen!'（60）AThe pure drama of the scene means that the legend of the Titanic will never be forgotten．

F．On that night，over 1，500people lost their lives．

17．Whether you're a child，teenager，young adult or are middle-aged，respect for your
parents is an important value．Your parents are the people who raised you，devoting time，
energy and money to your development．（151）E No matter your age，there are 5ways to show
respect．
●Respect their belongings．One important way to show respect is to show regard for the
things important to your parents．For younger children，this may mean not touching jewelry
or other valuable things．For grown children，respect may mean returning a borrowed tool in
good condition and on time．Lack of respect for a parent's belongings is a violation of personal
Boundaries．（152）G And never borrow things without asking first．
●Punctuality．
（153）CTherefore，always be on time．For teenagers，showing up on time means coming
home by curfew（宵禁）．Adult children should show up on time for family dinners or events，
or to pick a parent up for a medical appointment．Call if you're going to be late because
parents worry about children，no matter their age．
●（154）BRemembering birthdays，anniversaries and other special days is a sign that you
honor your parents．Make plans to take them to lunch or dinner or bake a cake or cookies．
Most parents don't expect expensive gifts，but a handmade gift is always appreciated．A phone
call from a grown child who lives too far for a visit is a welcome sign of respect．
●Be kind．
Kind words and affection are simple ways to show respect．Tell your parents you love
them．Listen and allow your parents to speak without interruption．Show a sincere interest in
what your parents have to say．Be patient with your parents and don't rush them．Never talk
back or be rude or disrespectful．Acknowledge your parents'achievements．（155）D

16．Choosing the right job is probably one of the most important decisions we have to make in life，and it is frequently one of the hardest decisions we have to make．One important question that you might ask yourself is："How do I get a good job？"（146）B．
There are people who can answer an insignificant advertisement in the local paper and land the best job in the world； others write to all sorts of places all over the country，and never seem to get a reply at all．Still others believe that the in person，door-to-door approach is by far the best way to get a job； and then there are those who，through no active decision of their own，just seem to be in the right place at the right time．（147）D．He used to spend a lot of his free time down by the sea watching the tall ships，but never thinking that he might one day sail one of them．His father was a farmer，and being a sailor could never be anything for the boy but an idle dream．One day，on his usual wandering，he heard the captain of the ship complaining that he could not sail because one member of his crew was sick．Without stopping to think，the lad（少年） offered to take his place．（148）F．
（149）A．If the lad had gone home to ponder（考虑）his decision for a week，he may have missed his chance．It is one thing to be offered an opportunity； it is another thing to take it and use it well．
Sometimes we hear stories about people who break all the rules and still seem to land plum jobs（美差）．When you go for a job interview or fill out an application，you are expected to say nice things about the company to which you are applying．（150）E．And within a year this person had become general manger of the company．

15．The sea has always interested man．From it they can get food，minerals，and treasure．（151）C But he could not go far beneath its surface （152）G．However，he is not a fish．He must breathe air，so he can't stay under the water's surface for any length of time．To explore deep water，man faces even more dangers and problems．A diver who wants to stay under water for more than a few minutes must breathe air or a special mixture of gases（153）E．He can carry a tank of air on his back and breathe through a nose and mouth piece．Water weighs 800times as much as air．Tons of water pushes against a diver deep in the sea （154）A．When a diver is under great pressure，his blood takes in some of the gases he breathes．As he rises to surface，the water pressure less．If the diver rises too quickly，the gases in his blood form bubbles （气泡）．The diver is then suffering from the bends （潜水夫病）．The bends can cause a diver to double up in pain（155）D．

A．His body is under great pressure．
B．Scientists are trying to find more about the sea．

Set your car radio to receive traffic bulletins．
Many new car stereo systems （汽车音响系统） are equipped with a radio system by which you can hear the traffic channel．（148）E
（149）A
Most traffic jams usually occur during rush hour，so try to avoid this time period if possible．Some jobs offer flexible working hours so that you can travel to work outside of rush hour．Some jobs even allow you to work at home so as to avoid moving altogether．Ask your manager to see what you can do if traffic is a problem for you．
