"The words were a constant (经常的) 22 to me that things were 23 so hard that I could not deal with them," Dad said. Then he 24 the poem with me. The poem's 25, yet profound (深刻的) words immediately became 26 of my daily routine as well.
    About a month after this 27 with my father, I received a gift in the mail from a friend of mine. It was a book of daily sayings of wisdom with one 28 for each day of the year.

    I 31 opened the book to November 10 to see 32 words of wisdom this book had in store for me. I was 33 when I looked at the page, and then tears of disbelief and appreciation 34 down my face. There, on my birthday, was the exact same poem that had 35 my father for all these years! It is called the Serenity (平静) Prayer:
    God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference.

    第三部分：阅读理解（共20题；每小题2分，共40分）
    阅读下列短文，从每题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
    You have heard the expression “horse sense”. As you may imagine, it came from the time when the majority of people traveled in vehicles drawn by horses. A horse does have a lot of common sense, and there are many true stories about horses having saved their drivers from danger of death.
    Today for the most part, people travel by train, ship, airplane, and car, but very little by the use of horses. Modern vehicles are propelled by engines, and an engine does not have any sense. In case of danger, many horses could be depended on to help. Not so with the engine; the driver must do all the things.
    In recent years, the speed of travel has increased greatly. With the increased speed comes greatly increased danger. The driver of a powerful engine needs to be careful. A moment of being careless may cost a life. In order to drive today, a person must be able to see clearly, and he must learn and follow carefully the rules for safety on the road. Greater attention is the price we pay for using a machine instead of a horse.
    56. The passage mainly talks about ______.
    A. engines    B. safe driving    C. using horses    D. modern machines
    57. The underlined word “propel” in the second paragraph means ______.
    A. repair    B. raise    C. push forward    D. made
    58. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
    A. a driver must know the rules of safety
    B. a driver needs to be able only to tell red from green
    C. an eye test is an important part of a driver’s examination
    D. greater attention is needed for a driver while driving a machine
    59. Which of the following is NOT true?
    A. A driver must be able to see and hear well.
    B. The driver of a car must follow the rules of safety.
    C. Horses are known to have saved their drivers from injury.
    D. It is better for vehicles to be pulled by horse than to be pushed by engine.

    （D）
    As you move around your home, take a good look at the things you have．It’s likely that your living room will have a television set and a video, and your kitchen will have a washing machine and a microwave oven．Your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as you need． You almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week．
    Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for．Seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world．They feel that the long-hour work culture to make more money to buy more things is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family or pastimes．Many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting_is one of them．
    Six percent of workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year．One couple who downshifted is Daniel and Liz．They used to work in central London．He was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank．They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs （郊区）, leaving their two children with a nanny（保姆）．Most evenings Daniel wouldn’t get home until eight or nine o’clock, and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to New York for meetings．They both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by．
    Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of Wales．“I always wanted to have a farm here,” says Daniel, “and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift．It’s taken some getting used to, but it’s been worth it．We have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays．However, I think it’s made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier．”
    Liz, however, is not quite sure．“I used to enjoy my job, even though it was hard work and long hours．I’m not really a country girl, but I suppose I’m gradually getting used to looking after the animals．One thing I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children．My advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all．”
    68．What do the first two paragraphs tell us?
    A．People seldom work long hours to make money．      
    B．People hardly buy more things than necessary．
    C．People are sure everything they own is in the right place．
    D．People realize more is involved in life than just making money．
    69．Daniel agrees that the move to the farm __________．
    A．was easy to organize               B．has improved family life
    C．was extremely expensive           D．has been a total success
    70．The underlined word "downshifting" in the second paragraph means ________．
    A．repairing your car by yourself
    B．spending money carefully
    C．moving out to the countryside to live a simpler and better life
    D．living in a big house in the suburbs and dining out once a week

    C
    Telepathy: Mind-to-mind Contact
    Telepathy is the ability to communicate without the use of the five senses (sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste). It’s an instinct (本能) which can be woken up in times of emergency or need. When we feel that something is happening or about to happen by instinct, we’re using resources within the unconscious mind. When the resources of two persons’ unconscious minds link together into the same frequency, we call it Telepathy.
    We can either send or receive Telepathy. If you know who is calling before you answer the ringing phone, you are probably a good receiver. If you think of a person and he/she calls you, you are most likely to be better at sending.
    You can easily put your abilities to the test. Think of somebody and will him or her to contact you. Be patient. The other person may not be a good receiver, but they should contact you much earlier than would normally be expected. Or whenever the phones rings, but try “feeling” who is contacting you. Don’t guess, but try to feel it with your mind. However, if neither of these work for you, that doesn’t mean that you have no ability of telepathy. As mentioned earlier, telepathy is most likely to turn up in case of emergency.
    Telepathy dreams often contain telepathic messages. Two people may both dream of the other and find that their dreams had a clear connection. These people are probably linking to each other’s unconscious mind.
    Telepathy & Relationships. The more people spend time together, the more likely they are to be able to link up to the other’s mind, specially when separated. There are two reasons for this. One is that they understand the other’s mind through time spent together； the other is that there is usually a strong desire to communicate. A mother will often sense that her child is in danger. This is due to the child’s eagerly wanting his or her mother, knowing that this person who would always want to be there for them, and the mother’s deep desire to protect her child from harm.
    64. Telepathy turns up when we ____.
    A. sense a close friend in danger              B. use the five senses together
    C. recall things from our memory              D. think of a stranger
    65. You’re better at sending than receiving Telepathy if you ____.
    A. can feel your mom is in danger               B. receive a friend’s call as you wish
    C. can tell who knocks at your door             D. dream of a friend dreaming of you
    66. Which is not the way to help people gain Telepathy?
    A. Help them have a strong desire to communicate.   B. Separate them all the time.
    C. Help them link up their unconscious minds.       D. Let them spend much time together.

    "Opinion" is a word that is used carelessly today. It is used to refer to matters of taste, belief, and judgment. This casual use would probably cause little confusion if people didn’t attach too much importance to opinion. Unfortunately, most do attach great importance to it. "I have as much right to my opinion as you to yours, '' and ''Everyone’s entitled(授予…权利) to his opinion, '' are common expressions. In fact, anyone who would challenge another's opinion is likely to be branded intolerant.
    Is that label（标签）accurate? Is it intolerant to challenge another's opinion? It depends on what definition of opinion you have in mind. For example, you may ask a friend ''What do you think of the new Ford cars?" And he may reply, "In my opinion, they're ugly." In this case, it would not only be intolerant to challenge his statement, but foolish. For it's obvious that by opinion he means his personal preference, a matter of taste. And as the old saying goes, ''It's pointless to argue about matters of taste."
    But consider this very different use of the term, A newspaper reports that the Supreme Court has delivered its opinion in a controversial case. Obviously the justices did not state their personal preferences, their mere likes and dislikes. They stated their considered judgment, painstakingly arrived at after thorough inquiry and careful consideration.
    Most of what is referred to as opinion falls somewhere between these two extremes. It is not an expression of taste. Nor is it careful judgment. Yet it may contain elements of both. It is a view or belief more or less casually arrived at, with or without examining the evidence.
    ?? Is everyone entitled to his opinion? Of course, this is not only permitted, but guaranteed. We are free to act on our opinions only so long as, in doing so, we do not harm others.
    72. Which of the following statements is TRUE, according to the author?
    A. Everyone has a right to hold his own opinion.
    B. Free expression of opinions often leads to confusion.
    C. Most people tend to be careless in forming their opinions.
    D. Casual use of the word "opinion" often brings about quarrels.
    73. According to the author, who of the following would be labelled as intolerant?
    A. Someone who turns a deaf ear to others' opinions.
    B. Someone who can't put up with others' tastes.
    C. Someone who values only their own opinions.
    D. Someone whose opinion harms other people.
    74. The new Ford cars are mentioned as an example to show that ________.
    A. it is foolish to criticize a famous brand
    B. one should not always agree to others' opinions
    C. personal tastes are not something to be challenged
    D. it is unwise to express one's likes and dislikes in public
    75. Considered judgment is different from personal preference in that ________.
    A. it is stated by judges in the court
    B. it reflects public like and dislikes
    C. it is a result of a lot of controversy (争论，争议)
    D. it is based on careful thought

    C
    Perhaps you have a big test coming up and you are feeling nervous. You know you have got to do well. The pressure is on, so you may be losing sleep and the ability to concentrate. How can you deal with the stress, study effectively, and take the test with confidence? Maybe you should try meditation（沉思）.
    When people think about meditation, many pictures of old men’s sitting cross-legged on remote mountaintops will appear in mind. People describing meditation frequently mention elements such as relaxation and “thinking about nothing”.
    It is not necessary to travel to a mountaintop to enjoy the benefits of meditation because it is actually more about awareness than just relaxation. The secret of meditation is breathing.
    To star meditating, find a place where you can sit or stand comfortably for a little while and concentrate. Close your eyes and start taking slow breaths. Focus on the air moving in and out of your body. If your mind starts to wander and you begin to think about something else, refocus your attention on your breathing.
    Meditation has little to do with escaping problems or thinking about nothing. Instead, the breathing techniques help you calm down and think more clearly about your feelings. The issues on your mind unfold clearly, as if they were in slow motion.
    This clarity（清晰）is called “mindfulness”. Being mindful means that you are aware of what you are thinking without becoming caught up in your thoughts. It takes practice, but with time, that big test will not scare you anymore. You will realize through meditation that fear is just a product of not being mindful.
    64． What is the best way to reduce the pressure if one faces a big test?
    A. To climb up to the top of a mountain for a rest.
    B. To sit on the top of a mountain without thinking anything.
    C. To sit or stand comfortable and begin to meditate.
    D. To sit quietly with one’s legs crossed.
    65． What should a person do if his mind begins to wander while meditating?
    A. Stop meditating.
    B. Concentrate on breathing again.
    C. Involve himself in his thoughts.
    D. Close eyes immediately.
    66． From the passage we can learn that by practicing meditation we’ll__________.
    A. not be stuck in our thoughts
    B. pass the examinations easily
    C. realize fear is a product of too much thought
    D. never be afraid of big tests
    67． From the passage we can know the writer’s purpose is to let the readers know__________
    A. how to deal with the stress before a big test
    B. what is meditation
    C. how a big test scares the students
    D. where is the best place to relax

    We’d been flying for hours, deeper and deeper into the desert of southeastern Niger. The mission: to find what is probably the last wild population of the great Saharan antelope called the addax (旋角羚)—the most endangered animal of its size in Africa.
    Pilot Peter Ragg flew our bright red helicopter low over two parallel dunes (沙丘). The pale sand below us was dotted by the black bushes, the plants that are favorite food for the addax. Then, almost as if the dune extruded (使突出) them, two perfect addaxes appeared. Their long tails swung from side to side as they ran, heads held high on thick necks, horns reaching for the sky. We made a few turns in the plane, then let them be. In just a few seconds they were swallowed again by the Sahara. Soon they could just as easily disappear from the planet.
    In September 2004 the government of Niger and a small NGO called SOS Faune du Niger surveyed this last known pocket of wild addaxes. They counted 128 individuals. Since then, the number has dropped as hunters have taken more for meat. How many addaxes remain in the Sahara is anybody’s guess, but those that do survive could be considered the living dead: There may not be a viable (能生存的) population left to reproduce.
    I’m now helping to make an emergency plan for the last wild addaxes. With a few hundred thousand dollars, some trucks, and a strong group with the local Toubou guides, we may just be able to save these guys from extinction.
    36. What do the addaxes in the passage usually eat?
    A. Vegetables. B. Black bushes.       C. Grass.                    D. Fruits.
    37. All of the following descriptions of the addax are true EXCEPT that ____.
    A. its tail is long                                    B. its neck is thick   
    C. its legs are short                             D. its horns are long
    38. What does the writer probably mean by saying that “There may not be a viable population left to reproduce”?
    A. Wild addaxes will die out soon unless effective measures are taken.
    B. The number of wild addaxes will increase if they are not hunted.
    C. Wild addaxes cannot support themselves any longer.
    D. Humans cannot survive without enough addaxes.
    39. It can be inferred that the writer of the passage might be ____.
    A. a journalist  B. an official    C. an engineer                D. a zoologist
