I'd like to tell you something about the problem of pollution we are facing to. As we know, the factory beside our school gave off heavy smoke all day long. Very loudly noises hurt our ears. Rubbish and waste are thrown here or there. It also sends out polluting water and poisonous gas. All this has done great harms to the health and study of the teachers and students. But as time goes on, a little has done to change the situation. I don't think you can study well after the problem is solved. We do hope you'll help and support us.

    The skills required for a career are an essential factor for an individual’s potential for success in that career. Write a list of the skills needed for a particular field. Place a check next to each skill you possess._____75______

A.    Look for lists of “hot jobs” on the Internet and in magazines.

D.    Potential careers are the jobs which you will have in the future.

    If you're like a lot of married guys, you don't need to be reminded about men being from Mars or women from Venus. Chances are that you're all too familiar with the feeling that you and your wife are from different worlds. The way to have a successful marriage is through communication, common ground and understanding. Here are some pointers to guide you in the right direction.

Pointer 1. Realize nobody can wave a magic wand to make you and your wife completely understand each other all the time. Accept the difference.

    Pointer 2.   Rather than ending up in an endless back and forth, forget about the issue for a minute. Instead, think about how you feel she's acting toward you and ask her if that's how she feels about you. Switching the focus to that shared feeling can help your wife see things from your point of view.

    Pointer 3.  Rather than feel offended if you find out she's not as into your favorite hobby as you thought, appreciate the effort she put into making you happy. Swallow your pride and try to take part in some of her hobbies, too, even if you might be a little put off at first. While you're not going to be trying on makeup with her, you could try baking a recipe together.

    Pointer 4.  If either of you is always giving everything and getting nothing in return, there's going to be bitterness. The best marriages are built on compromise. You knew you were going to have to give and take for your marriage to work; now it's time to make it happen.

68. The best subtitle of Pointer 3 is ________.

A. Find out her hobbies                        B. Swallow your pride (at least sometimes)

C. Don’t get offended                          D. Try to make up

69. According to the last paragraph, it’s important for the husband and wife to__________.

      A. give and take                            B. get everything and return nothing 

      C. live and let live                           D. forgive and forget

70. Which of the following is NOT good for keeping a successful marriage?

A. Try to understand each other all the way.

B.  Don't play the blame game.

C.  Focus on the feeling to get past the disagreement.

D.  She won't always understand you (but that's OK).

Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of fifty. In fact, they say by the age of eighty-five, people are happier with their life than they were when they were eighteen years old.

Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five. The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties. Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. The people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties.

The findings appeared in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.

The researchers considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age.

The study also showed that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.

63. What is the best title of the passage?

A. The older a person is, the more stressed he feels.

B. The more lighthearted a person is, the happier he is.

C. The older a person is, the more clever he grows.

D. The older a person is, the happier he grows.

64. We can learn from the research that _________.

A. only when people get older, will they feel happier

B. older people usually have no worries in their life

C. stress levels among the youngest are the highest of all

D. older people are more likely to be thankful in life

65. According to the researchers, what is probably the reason why people grow happier when they get older?

A. When people get older, they can’t remember bad experiences.

      B. When people get older, they have no young children to care about.

C. When people get older, they learn to adjust their feelings.

D. When people get older, they don’t care about their feelings.

66. What do you think the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences is?

A. A Gallup organization.         B. A popular science magazine.

C. A university in New York.                D. A research institution

67. What would the writer probably deal with in next paragraph?

A. Advice to the young people on how to keep happy.

B. Advice to the old people on how to live longer.

C. Why women at all ages are more sad, stressed and worried.

      D. Why people will grow happier with their ages.

Three Boys and a Dad

    Brad closed the door slowly as Sue left home to visit her mother. Expecting a whole day to relax, he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favourite TV talk show on his first day off in months. “This will be like a walk in the park,” he’d told his wife. “I’ll look after the kids, and you can go visit your mom.”

    Things started well, but just after eight o’clock, his three little “good kids”—Mike, Randy, and Alex—came down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted “breakfast, daddy.” Brad realized his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds.

    Life became worse after breakfast. Mike wore Randy’s underwear on his head. Randy locked himself in the bathroom, while Alex shouted again because he was going to wet his pants. Nobody could find clean socks, although they were before their very eyes. Someone named “Not Me” had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes. Brad knew the talk show had already started.

    By ten o’clock, things were out of control. Alex was wondering why the fish in the jar refused his bread and butter. Mike was trying to show off his talent by decorating the kitchen wall with his colour pencils. Randy, thankfully, appeared to be reading quietly in the family room, but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands. Brad realized that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible.

    At exactly11:17, Brad called the daycare centre (日托所). “I suddenly have to go into work and my wife’s away. Can I bring the boys over in a few minutes? ” The answer was obviously “yes” because Brad was smiling.

56. When his wife left home, Brad expected to __________.

A. go out for a walk in the park              B. watch TV talk show with his children

C. read the newspaper to his children     D. enjoy his first day off work

57. Which of the following did Randy do?

A. Drew on the wall.           B. Read in a room .       C. Fed the fish.        D. Ate apple jam.

58. Who is “Not Me”(underlined in Para.3)?

C. The father                                         D. The text doesn’t mention

When I was 8, a gentleman came to my orphanage（孤儿院）and taught us how to do woodworking projects. I remember my first project—a small table. I was so   36   of it that I looked upon it   37   I had created a wonder. It was absolutely beautiful and it had taken me six weeks to     38   it.

As the tables were not   41   from the clear coating, the man told us to wait a few days before taking them to our dormitories.   42   I was just so excited and happy that I couldn’t wait. I dashed out like a flash carrying my table, smiling from ear to ear.

When I reached the dormitory I placed the little table beside my bed. I was   43   it when Mother Winters entered. She walked over to the table. Running her hand   44   it, she noticed it was still wet.

She ordered me to throw the table out and so I did. After she left, I immediately opened the door to get it back. There was   47   stuck all over. I brushed and cried, but it would not come off. I hid the table in my closet and never   48   it. A year later while cleaning up, I gave the table to Mother Henderson, my houseparent (宿管员), thinking that she would   49   it away.

Thirty years later at a reunion, I   50   that Mother Henderson was living nearby, so I drove up to see her. We talked cheerfully for long. As I was about to leave, she asked me to come down to her   51   to get something important. I followed her   52   into a dark corner. She picked something up.   53   she turned around, I could see that she was holding a little table. Mother Henderson kept the little table that I had given up for lost so long ago.

Today, I look at that table with bittersweet memories but full of   54   to Mother Henderson, who kept it for a young orphan who tried very hard to   55  .
