An old man decided to write a letter to God:
Dear God,
I am nearing the end of my life. The doctors tell me I am dying of cancer and have a few months to live. In fact, as You know, throughout my entire life I’ve had nothing but bad luck. But no matter what You have inflicted (施加) on me, I have never lost my faith in You.
In return for
this loyalty (忠诚), I ask
just one thing of you. Please prove Your existence to me by sending me $
Yours insignificantly,
An Old Man
The letter arrived at the local post office where the employees noticed it was addressed To God: Heaven. They all knew the old man and, after reading the letter with tears in their eyes, took pity on him, ninety dollars was raised and posted to him. The old man was overjoyed and immediately wrote a “thank you” letter to God. The post office received the letter and all gathered around to read it.
Dear God,
I thank You with all my heart for taking time from Your busy schedule and answering my request…I am now a happy man.
Yours (in the very near future),
An Old Man

When I was a child, our dining room had two kinds of chairs―two large ones with arm rests and four small ones without. The larger ones stood at the ends of the table, the smaller ones on the sides. Mom and Dad sat in the big chairs, except when one of us was away; then Mom would sit in one of the smaller chairs. Dad always sat at the end, at the “head” of the table. Sitting where he did, Dad was framed by the window through which the yard could be seen with its trees and grass. His chair was not just a place for him at the table; it was a place in which he was situated against the yard and trees. It was the holy (神圣的) and protected place that was his, and ours through him.
After Dad retired, he and Mom moved out into a small flat. When they came to visit me at their old house. Dad still sat at the end of the table though the table was no longer his but mine. Only with my marriage to Barbara, did I hear a voice questioning the arrangement. She requested, gently but firmly, that I sit at the head of the table in our home. I realized then that I was head of the family, but I also felt unwilling to introduce such a change. How would I feel sitting in that “head” place in my Dad’s presence? And how would he handle it? I was to find out on the occasion of our youngest child’s first birthday.
Mom and Dad arrived for lunch, and went into the dining room. Dad moved toward his usual seat in front of the window. Before he could get around the side of the table, I took a deep breath and said, “Dad, this is going to be your place, next to Mom, on the side.” He stopped, looked at me and then sat down. I felt sad, and angry at Barbara for pushing me to do this. It would have been easy to say, “My mistake, Dad. Sit where you always sit.” But I didn’t.
When he and Mom were seated, Barbara and I took our places. I don’t know how Dad felt. I do know that, though removed from his usual place, he continued to share his best self with us, telling stories of his childhood and youth to the delight of his grandchildren. As I served the food, our lives experienced a change, which we continue to live with.
It wasn’t easy, but I sense that there is also something good in the change which has occurred. I am beginning to learn that “honoring one’s father” is more than the question of which place to occupy at the dining table. It also means listening, wherever we sit and whatever positions we own, to the stories Dad longs to tell. We may then, during these magical moments, even be able to forget about whose chair is whose.
48. Where did the writer’s mother sit when one of the children was away?
A. She didn’t change her chair. B. She moved her own chair next Dad’s.
C. She moved to an empty chair on the side. D. She sat opposite to Dad.
49. How did the writer feel when he told his father to sit on the side?
A. He didn’t feel bad because his father was going to sit there anyway.
B. He felt happy at having carded out the difficult task.
C. He was thoroughly satisfied with the new seating arrangement.
D. He regretted what he had done and wanted to blame his wife.
50. What happened during the meal after the family had all taken their new seats?
A. The writer’s children removed their grandfather from his usual place.
B. The writer’s father didn’t appear to mind where he sat.
C. The writer’s father shared his favorite dishes with the grandchildren.
D. They became tense and nervous about their future as a family.
51. What did the writer learn about “honoring one’s father”?
A. Fathers always long to tell stories about their early years.
B. Providing the fight chair is the only way to honor one’s father.
C. Respect for one’s father doesn’t depend only on where he sits.
D. The family should dine together at the same table as often as possible.
D
The worsening global economic situation makes it difficult for
“How fast
“To a large extent, the rate will be decided by the external（外部的）situation,” Liu said during a discussion with Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt and other economists in Beijing.
This year, GDP is estimated to grow at 9.4 or 9.5 percent, down from 10.6 percent last year, he said. However, the impact of the current financial turbulence “on our economy is much less than on the rest of the world”, he said.
Nicholas Stern, a former UK government advisor, also told China Daily it will take at least one or two years for the world to recover from the recession, which is now spreading from the US and the UK to the rest of the world.
“We don’t know how long the recession will last, but it is unlikely to be short,” he said.
Liu said China can use the downturn（衰退）as an opportunity to restructure its economy, which has relied heavily on government investment, foreign trade and low-cost technology over the past years.
“When the economy is experiencing fast growth, companies are unwilling to upgrade their technologies,” Liu said.
“The slowdown gives such firms the opportunity to enhance（提高）their competitive edge through better technologies.”
From
52. How many people are mentioned in this passage?
A.
only 2 B. no more than
53. It can be inferred from Liu’s words that the impact
of the current financial turbulence on
A. more B. less C. the most D. the least
54. The underlined word “extent” probably means ________.
A. sense B. degree C. size D. depth
55. According to the passage, the reason why Liu said
this downturn is an opportunity for
A. China’s economy will not depend on government investment in the future
B. Foreign trade will grow in the future
C. The downturn will force
D. Low-cost technologies will not exist in
E
As we have seen, the focus of medical care in our society has been shifting from curing disease to preventing disease―especially in terms of changing our many unhealthy behaviors, such as poor eating habits, smoking, and failure to exercise. The line of thought involved in this shift can be pursued further. Imagine a person who is about the right weight, but does not eat very nutritious foods, who feels OK but exercises only occasionally, who goes to work every day, but is not an outstanding worker, who drinks a few beers at home most nights but does not drive while drunk, and who has no chest pains or abnormal blood counts, but sleeps a lot and often feels tired. This person is not ill. He may not even be at risk for any particular disease. But we can imagine that this person could be a lot healthier.
The field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished between someone who is merely “not ill” and someone who is in excellent health and pays attention to the body’s special needs. Both types have simply been called “well.” In recent years, however, some health specialists have begun to apply the terms “well” and “wellness” only to those who are actively striving to maintain and improve their health. People who are well are concerned with nutrition and exercise, and they make a point of monitoring their body’s condition. Most important, perhaps, people who are well take active responsibility for all matters related to their health. Even people who have a physical disease or handicap (缺陷) may be “well,” in this new sense, if they make an effort to maintain the best possible health they can in the face of their physical limitations. “Wellness” may perhaps best be viewed not as a state that people can achieve, but as an ideal that people can strive for. People who are well are likely to be better able to resist disease and to fight disease when it strikes. And by focusing attention on healthy ways of living, the concept of wellness can have a beneficial impact on the ways in which people face the challenges of daily life.
56. Today medical care is placing more stress on ________.
A. removing people’s bad living habits
B. monitoring patients’ body functions
C. keeping people in a healthy physical condition
D. ensuring people’s psychological well-being
57. In the first paragraph, people are reminded that ________.
A. good health is more than not being ill
B. drinking, even if not to excess, could be harmful
C. regular health checks are essential to keeping fit
D. prevention is more difficult than cure
58. Traditionally, a person is considered “well” if he ________.
A. does not have any unhealthy living habits
B. does not have any physical handicaps
C. is able to handle his daily routines
D. is free from any kind of disease
59. According to the author, the true meaning of “wellness” is for people ________.
A. to best satisfy their body’s special needs
B. to strive to maintain the best possible health
C. to meet the strictest standards of bodily health
D. to keep a proper balance between work and leisure
60. According to what the author advocates, which of the following groups of people would be considered healthy?
A. People who have strong muscles as well as slim figures.
B. People who are not presently experiencing any symptoms of disease.
C. People who try to be as healthy as possible, regardless of their limitations.
D. People who can recover from illness even without seeking medical care.

第三节
Having friends who are similar to us can be beneficial, in that we can enjoy things together, such as going to clubs or to the movies. In addition, having such friends can provide us with a companion to share our opinions.
However, having friends who are different from us would have some advantages of its own.
They are able to introduce us to new and different things; hence, we’re provided unexpected experiences in life. Furthermore, they could provide us with a different view on a certain matter.
As for me, I prefer to choose friends similar to myself. I feel that friendship between us will be smoother and more enjoyable. However, I never refuse a friendship offered by a friend who is different from me.
