At a young age, her doctor told Patti Wilson she was an epileptic（羊癫疯患者）. Her father was a morning jogger. One day she   31   and said, “Daddy, what I’d really love to do is run with you every day, but I’m afraid I can’t do it.” Her father   32    her to start running.

In   39   of her disease, Patti was as ambitious（有野心的） as she was enthusiastic. She looked at being an epileptic as simply “an   40 ”. She focused not on what she had   41   , but on what she had left.

A 17-year-old boy，caught sending text messages in class，was recently sent to the vice principal`s office. The vice principal，Steve Gallagher，told the boy he needed to focus on the teach-er，not his cellphone. The boy listened politely and nodded，and that`s when Mr.Gallagher noticed the student`s fingers moving on his lap. He was testing while being scolded for texting. " It was a subconscious act，" says Mr. Gallagher，who took the phone away. " Young people today are con-nected socially from the moment they open their eyes in the morning until they colse their eyes at night.It`s compulsive."
A study this year by psychology students at Covenant College in Lookout Mountain,Ga.,found that the more time young people spend on Facebook，the more likely they are to have lower grades and weaker study habits. Heavy Facebook users show signs of being more sociable，but they are also more likely to be anxious，hostile or depressed.
Almost a quarter of today`s teens check Facebook more than 10 times a day，according to a 2009 survey by Common Sense Media,a nonprofit group that monitors media`s impact on families.Will these young people get rid of this habit once they enter the work force，or will employers come to see texting and `social-network cheeking` as accepted parts of the workday?Think back,When today`s older workers were in their 20s,they might have taken a break on the job to call friends and make after-work plans.In those earlier eras,companies discouraged non-business-related calls,and someone who made personal calls all day risked being fired.It was impossible to imagine the constant back-and-forth texting that defines interactions among young people today.Educators are also being asked by parents，students and educational strategists to reconsider their rules. "In past generations，students got in trouble for passing notes in class. Now students are good at texting with their phones still in their pockets，" says 40-year-old Mr.Gallagher,the vice principal,"and they`re able to communicate with someone one floor down and three rows over. Students are just fundamentally different today.They will take suspensions rather than give up their phones."
66.The underlined word "a subconscious act"in the first paragraph refers to an act_________
A.on purpose                              B.without realization
C.in secret                                  D.with care

A.are good at dealing with the social relationships and concentrate on their study
B.have high spirits and positive attitudes towards their life and work
C.have been influenced mentally in the aspects of behaviors and habits
D.are always in bad mood and have poor performance in every respect
68.Through the situation of today`s older workers in their 20s,it can be inferred that_________
A.the employers will not accept young people`s sending text messages
B.a cellphone is a must for today`s older workers instead of young people
C.The employers prefer older workers to young people
D.the employers will find it hard to control the interaction among young people

A.like to break rules and have the same means of sending messages
B.are always the big problem for the educations and their parents

Recently, a professor of philosophy in the United States has written a book called MoneyandtheMeaningofLife. He has discovered that how we deal with money in our daytoday life has more meaning than we usually think. One of the exercises he asked his students to do is to keep a record of every penny they spend for a week. From the way they spend their money, they can see what they really value in life.

He says that our relation with others often becomes clearly defined when money enters the picture. You might have wonderful friendship with somebody and you think that you have a very good friend. But you will know him only when you ask him to lend you some money. If he does, it brings something to the relationship that seems stronger than ever before. Or it can suddenly weaken the relationship if he doesn't. This person may say that he has a certain feeling, but if it is not carried out in the money world, there is something less real about it.

Since money is so important to us, we consider those who possess a lot of it to be very important. The author interviewed some millionaires in researching his book.

Question: What is the most surprising thing you have discovered about being rich?

Answer: The most surprising thing is why people give me so much respect. I am nothing. I do not know much. All I am is rich.

People just have an idea of making more and more money, but what is it for? In his book, the professor uncovered an important need in modern society: to bring back the idea that money is an instrument rather than the end. Money plays an important role in the material world, but expecting money to give happiness may be missing the meaning of life.

1.The author seems to believe that asking your friend to lend you some money ________.

A．is a good way to test your friendship

B．will do harm to your friendship

C．will strengthen your friendship

D．is a good way to break off your friendship

2.What can we learn about the millionaire from his answer in the interview?

A．He does not feel that he is well educated.

B．He does not think that he is a very important person.

C．He does not think that being rich is worth so much attention.

D．He does not consider himself to be very successful.

3.What does the American professor of philosophy want to explain in his book?

A．Money is an end.	B．Money is a means.
C．Money is everything.	D．Money is unimportant.

4.Which of the following might the author disagree with?

A．Money is important in modern society.

B．The meaning of life does not completely lie in money.

C．Wealth will surely bring the owner happiness

D．Happiness is not necessarily the result of wealth.
