19．Dear Victor，
I am a college student．Nowadays games on the net are very popular with college students．Some of my roommates are very interested in them．They not only play games in their free time，but also keep talking about them at night when lights are off，and they regard games as a part of their life．I've asked them to give it up，but they wouldn't listen to me．It has become a rather big problem．Should I report it to our teachers or do something else？
Ted
Dear Ted，
Drop it．Your roommates，as grown-ups，can do whatever they want with their time so long as it doesn't break school rules or violate（妨碍）other people's interests．
Playing perhaps gives these students relaxation from hard study．If they play too often and have little time to study，they will reap what they have sown（自食其果），but you will not．Reporting to the teachers would only harm your good name in your dormitory（宿舍）．However，you have rights to ask your roommates to be quiet when you need sleep．If they aren't angry with you，they will stop talking．But be polite and friendly．Perhaps，in return，join them in a game or two．
Victor

17．Walking up to a stranger and starting a conversation matters much to making new friends．Making small talk can also lead to important business relationships，but it takes confidence，preparation and practice．Do it well，and people will feel relaxed with you and enjoy your company．So how can you learn the art of small talk？
Before you go to a business convention（正式会议）or other social situation，prepare three things that you can talk about．They can be something in the news，a good movie or a popular sports team's recent win．Then you have a topic to start with when you meet a new person．Also，don't wait for someone to approach you．Look for someone who is standing alone，and start a conversation．Try a simple statement that you share something in common："The food looks delicious．"Or There sure are a lot of people here．"Then introduce yourself，"Hi，I'm Helen．（Hold out your hand for a handshake．） I just moved here，and I love this weather．"
After you start a conversation，keep it going．Instead of asking questions that can be answered with a yes or no，ask open-ended questions like，"What do you think of the meeting？"It's time to move on once you've made a good impression．Be bright（smart and cheerful），be brief（don't talk too long），and be gone（there are more people to meet）．
Use a goodbye line．To someone you enjoyed meeting at a gathering，say，"I really must be going，but it was really nice to meet you．Here's my card．"If they hand you their card，be sure to show interest in it．Read it over briefly，and then put it in your pocket to show that it is valued．
Making small talk will open doors to meeting many interesting people．When you show an interest in others，they become interested in talking to you．Listening carefully and remembering a fascinating（迷人的）bit of information about each person will come in use if you meet again．

16．"Hey Dad，"one of my kids asked the other day，"What was your favourite fast food when you were growing up？"
"We didn't have fast food when I was growing up，"I told him．"All the food was slow．""Where did you eat？""It was a place called‘at home，'"I explained．"Grandma cooked every day and when Grandpa got home from work，we sat down together at the dinning room table，and if I didn't like what she put on my plate I was allowed to sit there until I did like it．"
Some parents never owned their houses，set foot on a golf course，travelled out of the country or had a credit card （信用卡）．
My parents have never drove me to football practice．This was mostly because we never had heard of football．I had a bicycle that weighed probably 50pounds，and only had one speed．We didn't have a television in our house until I was 11．I was 13when I tasted my first pizza； it was called"pizza pie．"When I bit （咬） into it，I burned the roof of my mouth（上颚） and the cheese slid off，swung down，plastered （粘） itself against my chin（下巴） and burned that，too．It's still the best pizza I ever had．
I delivered newspapers，six days a week．The paper cost 7cents，of which I got to keep 2cents．I had to get up at 4a．m every morning．On Saturday，I had to collect the 42cents from my customers．My favourite customers were the ones who gave me 50cents and told me to keep the change．

15．Sometimes the most difficult thing about feelings is sharing them with others．Sharing your feelings helps you both when your feelings are good and when they aren't so good．Sharing also helps you to get closer to people you care about and who care about you．

If you're feeling sad，worried，or upset，you'd better tell someone．If you keep such feelings locked inside，they can even make you feel sick!So if you talk with someone who cares for you，like your mom or dad，you will start to feel better．/But what if you don't want to talk with your mom or dad？Then find another trusted （可信赖的） adult．Maybe this person can help you talk what you mean，try explaining it in a different way．Is there anything you think could be done to make things better？If so，say it．

13．Learning experiences happen to us throughout our lives，and not too long ago，I had one that I would like to share．
This story began with a sailing trip．It's a story of pizza （比萨），sailing and being afraid of buying ice-cream with a US 20bill．
I was going to Marblehead，Massachusetts，with my Optimist （a sailboat） racing team for the New England Optimist Championship．
The team was racing down the highway at 85mph （miles per hour） when we all realized we were hungry．
Luckily，we saw a rest area ahead．I was very excited，because I had a new US 20bill．I was so excited because I had never had that kind of money before．I had money I had saved，but spending it on food seemed like throwing it away．
We all rushed into the pizza line．Finally I got a cheese pizza and drink，and walked to my table．
About halfway through the meal，I realized I had not actually handed my money
to the cashier（收银员）．I had just walked out，and nobody had noticed．I felt terrible．
My conscience（良知） opened its mouth and swallowed me．I couldn't get over it．I just couldn't go back to the cashier and pay for my stolen，half-eaten pizza．I would be more embarrassed than I ever had been．
I was so sorry that I refused to give myself the pleasure of an ice-cream in fear that someone would say，"Hey，Jeff，why don't you use the change from the pizza instead of that nice，new US 20bill？"I was not so proud of my money now．
For the next two years，whenever I was reminded of （thought of） the"Pizza incident，"I closed my eyes and said to myself，"Don't think about it．Don't think about it．"I have learned two things from this experience．Maybe I was an unwise person for giving in to my conscience，and being too stupid to appreciate a free pizza．But I think the real lesson is that if you let being embarrassed get in the way of doing the right thing，then your conscience will catch up with you．
I think this reflects the saying，"A coward （懦夫） dies a thousand deaths，a hero
dies one．"I was a coward and have felt terrible about that incident at least a thousand times．If I had been a"hero"and gone back up to pay for the pizza，then I would have felt a little embarrassed about it only once，or maybe twice．

54．Why didn't the boy buy ice-cream？D
A．He wanted to save the money．
B．He didn't want to eat ice-cream then．
C．He didn't have enough money for it．

B．He completely forgot to
C．His teammates told him not to
D．The cashier didn't ask him to
56．The underlined word"embarrassed"in the passage meansC．
A．happy and comfortable
B．disturbed and silly
C．uneasy and uncomfortable
D．sad and angry
57．Why did the writer think of the saying"A coward dies a thousand deaths，a hero dies one"？D

12．Our spiritual intelligence quotient，SQ （精神智商）helps us understand ourselves and live fuller，happier lives．
While we're all born with SQ，most of us even don't know that we have it．Luckily，you don't have to sign up for classes to learn how to enhance（加强） your SQ．Here are some simple steps that can lead you to this new level of understanding：
Sit Quietly．The step of developing SQ begins in solitude （独处） and silence．To tune in to its whisper，you have to keep away from your busy，noisy，complicated life and make yourself do nothing at all．At home，for example，shut the door of your bedroom，take a few deep breaths and let them out very，very slowly．
Step Outside．For many people，nature makes their spirit free．Go outside to watch a beautiful sunset．Follow the flight of a bird； watch clouds floating overhead．
Find An Activity You Enjoy．It's important to find a hobby that helps you tune in to yourspirit．Garden，walk or jog，arrange flowers，listen to music that touches your soul．
Ask Questions Of Yourself．Some people use their thoughtful time to focus on scriptures （经文）．Others ask open-ended （无确定答案的） questions，such as"What am I feeling？What are my choices？"But don't expect an answer to arrive through  some super-natural form of e-mail．Later that day you'll suddenly find yourself thinking about a problem from a perspective （角度） you never considered before．
Trust Your Spirit．While most of us rely on gut feelings （直觉） to warn us of danger，SQ usually nudges （渐渐推动） us，not away from，but toward some action that will lead to a greater good．

57．To enhance your SQ，you should firstB．
A．stand loneliness and silence
B．make your life simpler and less busy

D．People will keep away from their busy life．
60．What is the best title for the passage？C

B．The relationship between your SQ and you
C．What SQ is and in what ways it can be improved
D．What SQ is and in what ways you can make your life easier．

I remember sitting on my grandfather's knee listening to him reading'Around the world in 80days'by Jules Verne．It made me want to go out and explore just like Phileas Fogg．
Raphael，a sailor
The beauty is that you never get nothing from the sun，she is always giving us energy．Not once did we run out of power
Erwann，a captain
For 584days，Swiss adventurer Raphael braved storms，pirates and cloudy skies to finish the sailing around the whole world on a boat．The boat was powered by nothing but sun lights．
The boat，called"Turanor"after a word meaning"power of the sun"，as heavy as a whale and 30meters long，is as large as two tennis courts．It made history on May 4^th，2012，when it finally sailed into Port Hercules，Monaco，completing the first ever round-the-world journey by a solar-powered boat．
"The aim of this journey was to show the world that this technology is not science fiction，it is very real and it can help us change how we do things now rather than in the future，"said Raphael，"I remember sitting on my grandfather's knee listening to him reading'Around the world in 80days'by Jules Verne．It made me want to go out and explore just like Phileas Fogg．Everywhere we went people would gather around the boat．They had never seen such a strange boat before，"he added．
For 40-year-old Raphael，whose youth was spent reading through pages of adventure books，the sailing around the whole world this year was also a fruition of boyhood dreams．
"Most people think that if the sun doesn't shine the boat wouldn't work，but it is impossible to sail for one year and only have good weather．The beauty is that you never get nothing from the sun，she is always giving us energy．Not once did we run out of power，"said the captain．The boat is capable of storing enough power to allow it to travel for five full days without sunlight．
Raphael has reason to be proud．Having completed the 50，000kilometer journey，the"Turanor"returns with five Guinness World Records to its name：Longest solar journey； first solar circumnavigation； fastest solar crossing of the South China Sea； fastest solar crossing of the Atlantic and--no surprises here--a record for the world's largest solar-powered boat．
"I really hope our journey will make people realize the big power of solar energy and that it can be used for long-time travel，"he said．
Now back in Europe，Raphael is taking some time off to recharge his own batteries，before getting back to work，thinking of new ways to spread the solar power message to the world．

53．What helped Raphael finish this long，hard and even impossible sail？C
A．The storms and cloudy skies．
B．Five full days without sunlight．
C．His strong childhood dreams．
D．The large number of pirates．
54．What does the underlined sentence in the 3^rd paragraph mean？C
A．It's the time to think and do differently．
B．It's a chance to surprise the whole world．
C．It's time for us to use the energy of sun．
D．It's a chance to change ways of traveling．
55．Which of the following is TRUE to the boat-Turanor？B
A．It has five records as fastest，largest，and sailed longest．
B．It used the power of sun and traveled very long and fast．
C．It's so strange that many people gave lots of laugh at it．
D．It's now back in Europe ready for the second brave sail．
