    Throughout our childhood our parents taught us to say “thank you” and it has become a habit — something we say automatically (自动地), along with “please”. And because of this we have forgotten just how important gratitude is and how essential it is in leading fulfilled (感到满足的) lives.
    Just for a minute, think of all the things you are grateful for, such as loving friends, good health, great holidays as well as everyday items such as a comfortable home, TV, and clean water. The list, in fact, could go on and on.
    Now focus on events that have made you angry — it’s raining, the car won’t start, and a colleague (同事) makes you annoyed. You start to feel unhappy, and that is something that certainly does not make you feel good！
    In fact, we have the ability to choose how we feel — it’s just our perception (认识) of how things are. But for most of us, it just doesn’t seem easy.
    Let me give you an example: it’s a rainy day, and immediately most people will start to complain, telling everyone who will listen what a miserable day it is, with the result that they end up feeling miserable themselves. But look at it another way and despite wet clothes and hair, both will dry perfectly well and no lasting harm has been done. And in addition to this, because of rain, we not only live in a green and beautiful landscape, we are also able to grow a lot of fruit and vegetables.
    There really is no obvious reason for feeling miserable — in fact there is a great deal to be grateful for. It all depends on what we think about things.
    Realize what a difference having gratitude can make to your life. That’s why gratitude is so special — use it to feel good!
    68. What do we usually do automatically according to the author?
    A. Focus on good things.                                  B. Prefer to feel good.
    C. Express thanks orally.                                  D. Take many things for granted.
    69. By the example in the fifth paragraph, the author advises us to _____.
    A. see things in a different way                          B. refuse the unchangeable things
    C. ignore the harm bad weather does                  D. listen to others’ complaints patiently
    70. By writing the passage, the author mainly wants to tell us _____.
    A. to think twice before we act                         
    B. to be grateful for what we have
    C. it is no use making complaints                      
    D. saying “thank you” has many disadvantages

    The horsepower was first used two hundred years ago. James Watt had made the world’s first widely used steam engine. He had no way of telling people exactly how powerful it was, for at that time there were no units for measuring power.
    Watt decided to find out how much work one strong horse could do in one minute. He called that unit one horsepower. With this unit he could measure the work his steam engine could do.
    He discovered that a horse could lift a 3,300-pound weight 10 feet into the air in one minute. His engine could lift a 3,300 pound weight 100 feet in one minute.
    Because his engine did ten times as much work as the horse, Watt called it a ten-horsepower engine.

    D
    Parents whose children show a special interest in a sport feel very difficult to make a decision about their children’s careers. Should they allow their children to train to become top sports men or women? For many children it means starting schoolwork very young, and going out with friends and other interests have to take a second place. It’s very difficult to explain to a young child why he or she has to train five hours a day, even at the weekend, when most of his or her friends are playing.
    Another problem is of course money. In many countries money for training is available from government for the best young sportsmen and women. If this help can not be given, it means that it is the parents who have to find the time and the money to support their child’s development and sports clothes, transport to competitions, special equipment, etc.
    Many parents are worried that it is dangerous to start serious training in a sport at an early age. Some doctors agree that young muscles may be damaged by training before they are properly developed. Professional ( 专业的) trainers however, believe that it is only by training young that you can reach the top as a successful sports person. It is clear that very few people do reach the top, and both parents and children should be prepared for failure even after many years of training.
    67. This article is probably taken from ________.
    A. a letter                      B. an advertisement  
    C. a personal diary               D. a newspaper article
    68. According to the passage parents whose children show a special interest in a sport _______.
    A. feel uncertain if they should let their children train to be sportsmen or women
    B. try to get financial support from the government for their children’s training
    C. have to get medical advice from doctors about training methods
    D. prefer their children to be trained as young as possible
    69. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
    A. When young, sports men or women won’t have much time for their schoolwork
    B. Early training may damage their muscles.
    C. Most children may become professional sports men or women after a long period of training.
    D. It’s very expensive for parents to support their child’s development in sports.
    70. _______ can become the best players after many years of training.
    A. Most people                                     B. Some people 
    C. Only a few people                                  D. No people

    Lots of students shop to reduce stress or just to kill time with their friends. Shopping to get rid of boredom or to escape from life’s pressures may lead to serious problems. When you start to shop out of control, you become a shopping addict.
    Shopping addicts show signs that are similar to other addicts. Some students think that shopping, even as little as buying gifts for classmates, can make them feel better and forget their problems. Actually, it can make them feel worse, guilty, or even cause them to run into financial difficulties. Finding yourself in a financial struggle or deep in debt may harm your relationships with friends and parents.
    Do you go shopping for just a few things and come home with your wallet empty? Do you always go shopping after an emotional trauma or when life feels tough（艰难的）? Do you regret later what you buy? Or do you buy things that you never use? Maybe your parents or friends have expressed disagreement that leads you to hide items or lie about prices.
    Avoid any environment that may make you want to spend money. Never use credit cards. Form some other meaningful and beneficial hobbies. Exercise, yoga and hot baths generally may help you not want to shop. Take a drive through the country where there aren’t any stores. Have patience with yourself and your money, which can benefit you for the rest of your life.
    60. According to the passage, shopping addicts ______.
    are always rich people             B. get well along with friends

    If you want to take the whole family on holiday, and keep everybody happy, then I have found just the place for you. I recently went with a group of friends to stay at the Greenwood Holiday Village, which is open from May until October.
    Built in the centre of a forest, Greenwood is a great place to stay whatever the weather is like. Its main attraction for families is the indoor World of Water, where young and old can have fun in the different pools. Some of these, however, are for serious swimmers only.
    For sporty people, the Country Club offers tennis, squash and badminton. If your children are too young to join in these sports, there are activity clubs. Greenwood is a good place for families as it is traffic-free-you explore on foot or by bike. Some people complained that this was inconvenient, but I was pleased to be out in the fresh air. For evening entertainment, there are shows and cinemas.
    Accommodation is in a variety of apartments of different sizes. These have up to four bedrooms, a kitchen and a bathroom, as well as a dining area. Before going, I thought the apartments might not be big enough for all of us, but I was pleasantly surprised ― it was not too crowded at all.
    I'll definitely go back to Greenwood next year. Why don't you give it a try? Visit their website for further information now!
    65. From the text, the reader can find out ______.
    A. the best way to get to the holiday village
    B. the best time of year to visit the holiday village
    C. what activities are available at the holiday village
    D. how to reserve accommodation at the holiday village
    66. What does the writer think about the holiday village?
    A. The apartments there are not big enough.
    B. It is not convenient because you cannot use your car.
    C. It can only be enjoyed in good weather.
    D. There is something there for all ages.

    A. There is not much space between them.      B. Each one has its own bathroom.
