11．Is it truly that Chinese students work for over twelve hours per day，while western students stay at school a few hours and play a lot after school？To some extent，it was agreed that western students are under little pressure than Chinese students．The main reason is because there are limited places at top universities and the problem may not be solving in the near future．In fact，not any western students are lazy．On the contrary，a lot of them are hard-working students，that finish the long list of readings and coursework on time and make a full use of their spare time to have fun and do voluntary work．I think the best attitudes towards the balance of study and entertainment is"work hard，play hard"．

10．In our life，the fear of heights always（61）exists（exist） and it is a common feeling that is easy （62）to understand（understand）．It is one of only two natural fears and（63）theother is the fear of loud noises．Actually，having a fear of heights is good because it protects us（64）from\againstreal danger．

The most efficient way seems to make the people know（68）their （they） fear，for example，by encouraging them to go to the top of tall buildings．
Another way to overcome the fear is to learn to control the physical symptoms．When （69）faced （face） with a threatening situation，one can take slow，deep breaths．If possible，a few minutes of deep thinking may be（70）effective（effect） in reducing tension．In a word，the fear of heights can be dealt with．

8．A deaf and blind woman from Australia has become the first person to make a telephone call using a device that turns speech into Braille．Braille is a form of writing that uses raised dots on a surface that can be"read"by touching them．The technology is being tested for the first time in Australia and the United States．The test involved a simple phone call between two sisters．
Michelle Stevens is deaf and blind．Ms．Stevens says the Braille telephone will end years of feeling isolated，or feeling alone and apart from others．She is one of five Australians who are taking part in the new tests．These tests will take place in Australia at the same time in the United States，where the technology has been developed．
Ms．Stevens says that this telephone system will be one way to break the isolation of deaf-blind people．She adds that with future developments，the phone system may be able to give deaf-blind people more job opportunities．Not being able to communicate in the office or on the telephone is a major barrier for people who are deaf-blind．
A similar test will also take place in the United States in a few months．Christopher Engelke is a director with the U．S．company Ultratec．He says the way that the whole system works is two deaf or hard of hearing people，who speak for themselves，will use the phone just like any other phone，except that much like getting subtitles （字幕） on TV，they get subtitles to the conversation appearing on the screen，although for Braille users they can read those subtitles in Braille bumps on a dynamic Braille display．
Developers of the device say it can change the lives of those who cannot see or hear．In Australia alone，it's estimated that there are 330，000people who are deaf-blind．Some groups say that number is likely to reach 1.2million by 2050．

6．The world is filled with smart，educated and gifted people．We meet them every day．A few days ago，my car was not running well．I pulled it into a garage and the young mechanic fixed it in just a few minutes．He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine sound．I was amazed．The sad truth is that great talent is not enough．
I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn．I heard the other day that less than 5percent of Americans earn more than $100，000a year．A business consultant who specializes in the medical trade told me how many doctors and dentists struggle financially．It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase，"They are one skill away from great wealth．"
There is an old saying that goes，"JOB means‘Just Over Broke'"．And unfortunately，I would say that the saying applies to millions of people．Because schools do not think financial intelligence is intelligence，most workers"live  within  their  means"．They work and they pay the bills．Instead I recommend that young people seek work for what they will learn，more than what they will earn．
When I ask the classes I teach，"How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald's？"almost all te students raise their hands．I then ask，"So if most of you can cook a better hamburger，how come McDonald's makes more money than you？"The answer is obvious：McDonald's is excellent at business systems．The world is filled with talented poor people．They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger．
24．The author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph to show thatA．
A．he is just one of the talented people
B．he is ready to help others
C．he has a sharp sense of hearing
D．he knows little about car repairing
25．The underlined part in the third paragraph can be best replaced by"D"．
A．spend more than they can afford
B．do in their own way
C．live in their own circle
D．live within what they earn
26．Why do talented people earn so little according to the author？B
A．They don't work hard enough．
B．They lack financial intelligence．
C．They don't make full use of their talents．
D．They have no specialized skills．
27．The main purpose of the author is to tell usC．
A．how young people can find a satisfactory job
B．what schools should teach about finance
C．why so many talented people are poor
D．how McDonald's makes much money．

I am English student studying in China．Yesterday，I go to your cinema to see a film．The film was very good，and I did not enjoy it because there were some problems in the cinema．First，the film was delayed as there was so many advertisements at the beginning．It was rather annoyed．Second，the sound of the film was such loud that I could hardly bear it．The EXIT signs could not be seen clearly，that presented potential safety problems．If something terrible should happen，it would be difficult for people to get out quick．As a visitor to your city，I'm disappointed with my experience in you cinema．I am writing the letter in the hope that you can consider these problems and to make some improvements．
