The standard of living of any country means the average person’s share of the goods and services which the country produces. A country’s standard of living, therefore, depends first and foremost on its ability to produce wealth. “Wealth” in this sense is not money, for we do not live on money but on things that money can buy, “goods” such as food and clothing, and “services” such as transport and entertainment.

A country’s ability to produce wealth depends upon many factors, most of which have an effect on one another. Wealth depends to a very large degree upon a country’s natural resources, such as coal, gold, and other minerals, water supply and so on. Some regions of the world are well supplied with coal and minerals, and have a fertile soil and a favorable climate; other regions possess perhaps only one of these things, and some regions possess none of them. The USA is one of the wealthiest regions of the world because she has vast natural resources within her borders, her soil is fertile, and her climate is of great variety. The Sahara Desert, on the other hand, is one of the least wealthy.

Next to natural resources comes the ability to turn them to use. Sound and stable political conditions, and freedom from foreign invasion(侵略), enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully and steadily, and to produce more wealth than another country equally well served by nature but less well ordered.

Another important factor is the technical efficiency of a country’s people. Old countries that have, through many centuries, trained up numerous skilled craftsmen and technicians are better placed to produce wealth than countries whose workers are largely unskilled.

Wealth also produces wealth. As a country becomes wealthier, its people have a large margin(富余)for saving, and can put their savings into factories and machines which will help workers to turn out more goods in their working day.

    Some children are natural-born bosses. They have a strong need to make decisions, manage their environment，and lead rather than follow. Stephen Jackson，a Year One student, operates under the theory of what’s mine is mine and what’s yours is mine，” says his mother. “The other day I bought two new Star Wars light sabers (剑). Later，I saw Stephen with the two new ones while his brother was using the beat-up ones.”

“Examine the extended family，and you’ll probably find a bossy grandparent，aunt，uncle or cousin in every generation. It’s an inheritable trait，” says Russell Barkley，a professor at the Medical University of South Carolina. Other children who may not be particularly bossy can gradually gain dominance (支配地位) when they sense their parents are weak，hesitant，or in disagreement with each other.

Whether it’s inborn nature or developed character at work，too much control in the hands of the young isn’t healthy for children or the family. Fear is at the root of a lot of bossy behavior，says family psychologist John Taylor. Children，he says in his book From Defiance to Cooperation，“have secret feelings of weakness” and “a desire to feel safe.” It’s the parents’ role to provide that protection.

When a “boss child” doesn't learn limits at home，the stage is set for a host of troubles outside the family. The overly willful and unbending child may have trouble obeying teachers or coaches，for example，or trouble keeping friends. It can be pretty lonely as the top dog if no one likes your bossy ways.

“I see more and more parents giving up their power，” says Barkley，who has studied bossy behavior for more than 30 years. “They bend too far because they don’t want to be as strict as their own parents were. But they also feel less confident about their parenting skills. Their kids，in turn，feel more anxious.”

67. Bossy children like Stephen Jackson_________.

A. make good decisions                             B. show self-centeredness

C. lack care from others                                   D. have little sense of fear

68.The underlined phrase “inheritable trait” in Paragraph 2 means ___________.

A. inborn nature                                        B. developed character

69. The study on bossy behavior implies that parents_________.

A. should give more power to their children

B. should be strict with their children

C. should not be so anxious about their children

D. should not set limits for their children

70. What is the passage mainly about？

A. How bossy behavior can be controlled.          

B. How we can get along with bossy children.

C. What leads to children’s bossy behavior.        

D. What effect bossy behavior brings about.

　 The young boy saw me, or rather, he saw the car and quickly ran up to me, eager to sell his bunches of bananas and bags of peanuts. Though he appeared to be about twelve, he seemed to have already known the bitterness of life. “Banana 300 naira. Peanuts 200 naira.” He said in a low voice. I bargained him down to 200 total for the fruit and nuts. When he agreed, I handed him a 500 naira bill. He didn’t have change, so I told him not to worry. He said thanks and smiled a row of perfect teeth.

　 When, two weeks later, I saw the boy again, I was more aware of my position in a society where it’s not that uncommon to see a little boy who should be in school standing on the corner selling fruit in the burning sun. My parents had raised me to be aware of the advantage we had been afforded and the responsibility it brought to us.

　 　I pulled over and rolled down my window. He had a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts ready. I waved them away. “What's up?”, I asked him. “I...I don’t have money to buy books for school.” I reached into my pocket and handed him two fresh 500 naira bills. “Will this help?” I asked. He looked around nervously before taking the money. One thousand naira was a lot of money to someone whose family probably made about 5,000 naira or less each year. “Thank you, sir,” he said, “Thank you very much.”

　 When driving home, I wondered if my little friend actually used the money for school-books. What if he’s a cheat? And then I wondered why I did it. Did I do it to make myself feel better? Was I using him? Later, I realized that I didn't know his name or the least bit about him, nor did I think to ask.

　 Over the next six months, I was busy working in a news agency in northern Nigeria. Sometime after I returned, I went out for a drive. When I was about to pull over, the boy suddenly appeared by my window with a big smile ready on his face.

　 “Oh, gosh! Long time.”

　 “Are you in school now?” I asked.

　 He nodded.

　 “That’s good,” I said. A silence fell as we looked at each other, and then I realized what he wanted. “Here,” I held out a 500 naira bill. “Take this.” He shook his head and stepped back as if hurt. “What's wrong?” I asked. “It’s a gift.”

　 He shook his head again and brought his hand from behind his back. His face shone with sweat. He dropped a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts in the front seat before he said, “I’ve been waiting to give these to you.”

63. What was the author’s first impression of the boy?

　 A. He seemed to be poor and greedy. B. He seemed to have suffered a lot.

　 C. He seemed younger than his age.　 D. He seemed good at bargaining.

64. The second time the author met the boy, the boy________.

　 A. told him his purpose of selling fruit and nuts

　 B. wanted to express his thanks

　 C. asked him for money for his schoolbooks 　

D. tried to take advantage of him

65. Why did the author give his money to the boy?

A. Because he had enough money to do that.

　 B. Because he had learnt to help others since childhood.

　 C. Because he held a higher position in the society.

　 D. Because he had been asked by the news agency to do so.

66. Which of the following best describes the boy?

　 A. Brave and polite.　　　　　　　 B. Kind and smart.

　 C. Honest and thankful 　　　　　　 D. Shy and nervous.

Most people feel lonely sometimes，but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. This kind of loneliness is not serious．In fact，it is quite normal．For some people，though，loneliness can last for years. Now researchers say loneliness comes in three different types．

　The first kind of loneliness is temporary．This is the most common type．It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention．The second kind is situation，for example，family problem，the death of a loved one，or moving to a new place．Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems，such as headaches and sleeplessness，it usually does not last for more than a year．The third kind of loneliness is the most serious. Unlike the second type, chronic (the opposite of ‘temporary’) usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause．People who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing and becoming close to others．Unfortunately，many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition．

　 Psychologists agree that one important factor in loneliness is a person’s social contacts，for example，friends，family members，co-workers，etc．We depend on various people for different reasons．For instance, our family give us emotional support，our parents and teachers give us guidance, and our friends share similar interests and activities．

However，psychologists have found that, though lonely people may have many social contacts，they sometimes feel they should have more.They question their popularity．

　 Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons：they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness such as heart disease，while temporary and situational loneliness can be a sad，and sometimes dangerous condition．

China has become Volvo’s third largest market, with more of its car models to go on sale in the world’s largest auto market this year, Chief Executive Office (CEO) of Volvo Cars China said in Tianjin.

Dr.Alexander Klose, CEO of Volvo Cars China, told Xinhua at the Ninth Tianjin International Automobile Trade Show, being held from Friday to Wednesday.

Klose said Volvo Cars had entered a new time of fast development, adding that its sales volume in China roared in 2012.

Up to the end of September, Volvo’ s global sales volume was up 12.5 percent year on year（同年比）, compared with 52 percent year-on-year rise in China, he said.

Two new Volvo sales centers opened in Beijing within merely one week in early October, about two months after east China’s Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co acquired the Swedish brand from the US auto giant Ford for $1.5 billion in early August.

Klose said he was confident of seeing tremendous growth in China’s auto market in the next five years. “As the Chinese government has increased the tax rate for large displacement （排量）cars already, we now have a lot of cars below three liters, and I think we’ll stick to that strategy, as you can see now the XC60 which was introduced today is just two liters,” he said. “As the technology advances, we’ll probably even see 1.6 liter engines or 1.5 liter engines in the future,” he added.

Volvo Cars is not the only automaker hoping to take advantage of China’s rapidly growing auto market. Bentley, the famous British luxury carmaker, will open a new sales center in China at Tianjin Thursday, which is the 11th one in China, according to a press release by Shanghai-based Zenith Integrated Communications Corp (Zenith) Saturday at the auto show. Zenith is the public relations agent of Bentley in China. The automaker has sold 421 limousines（大型豪华轿车） to China in 2011, and the goal for 2012 is 777, the release said.

The day was Thankful Thursday, our “regular day” of service. It’s a __36__tradition that my two little girls and I began years ago. On this __37　 Thursday, we had no idea exactly what we were going to do. __38__ along a busy road, we prayed for guidance in quest of __39__our weekly Act of Kindness. My girls were__40__, and started shouting “ McDonald’s” . Suddenly I realized that almost every crossing I__41__ was occupied by a beggar, and then it hit me! All these beggars must be hungry. Perfect! We were going to buy__42__for them.

It was a great way to__43__. The Act of Kindness was anonymous(匿名的)，and we loved what we saw in the back view mirror: a__44__and delighted person holding up his lunch bag and just looking at us__45__we drove off.

We had come to the end of our “route” where there was a small woman standing there, asking for__46__. We handed her our final lunch bag, and then made a U-turn to head back in the opposite direction for home. Unfortunately, the light stopped us. I was __47__and didn’t know how to behave.

“No one has ever done anything like this for me before,” the woman said with__48__. I replied, “Well, I’m glad that we were the first one.”__49__ uneasy , and wanting to move the conversation along, I asked, “So, when do you think you’ll eat your lunch?” “Oh honey, I’m not going to__50__this lunch.” I was confused , and she continued , “I have a little girl of my own at home and she just __51__ McDonald’s , but I can never buy it for her because I just don’t have the __52__ . You know what… tonight she is going to have McDonald’s !”

So many times I had__53__whether our Acts of Kindness were too small or insignificant to really__54__any difference. Yet in that moment, I recognized the__55__of Mother Teresa’s words, “We cannot do great things---only small things with great love.”
