    Have you ever dreamed of having a fashionable watch of great value?
    A small watchmaker in Switzerland in 1922 designed the first automatic watch to show the day，month，and date．Only seven of these splendid watches were ever made and these watches were almost lost to history．Today，it is so hard to get an original watch that some watch historians are even willing to offer $ 200，000 for one．
    These watches attracted a lot of people for their splendid color，fashionable style，and new uses in the 1920s．The owners of the watches were admired and set apart from the crowd．Because the number of the original watches is very limited，owning such a watch will make you feel very special．
    Today，you are offered the same kind of watch with improvement．The watch has a 24-jewel mechanical(机械的)movement，the kind desired by watch collectors．The watchmaker has made the movement of the watch much more modern with an automatic rotor(上弦装置)so that the watch never needs to be wound by hand．The watch comes in a very beautiful case with a crocodile design on it．To get a watch in such a perfect design means to get a chance to know a piece of watch making history and to wear such a watch will show your personal taste and social position．
    You can get the watch either in person or by mail at an affordable price．You will also receive good service from the watch seller．If you are not satisfied with the watch after you get it，you may simply return it within 30 days．Don’t miss the chance to realize your dream．
    41．The original automatic watches are valuable because          .  
    A．the watches were made many years ago
    B．the watches were made by a Swiss watchmaker
    C．only rich people can afford the watches

    Picture this situation. It is late afternoon and you are    36   . You have an important dinner engagement that evening so you    37    to take an hour nap. Instead of setting your alarm you ask a friend who is visiting to wake you in an hour. He   38   .
    Two hours later, your friend wakes you. You ask, “Why didn’t you wake me after one hour?” He    39    that he thought you asked him to wake you in two hours and that is what he said. You then have to run around and get ready    40  , muttering to yourself about how you    41   have set the alarm rather than asking your friend to wake you. Had you done that, you would not have been so    42    to get ready.
    Your conclusion is correct. Your    43   of what happened looked at the system you used. Your friend’s   44   to wake you resulted from a miscommunication.   45   he didn’t hear you correctly or you misspoke.
    46   at the situation from the point of view of being personally responsible is always better than blaming yourself or another. So how do you best be “responsible” in this situation? The answer is   47   in systems thinking.
    Dr. W. Edward Deming is the American statistician who is credited with   48   the quality practices to Japan.   49   his arrival in that country in 1950, the label “made in Japan” was synonymous with inferior(劣等的) quality. Now the same “made in Japan” label is synonymous(等同) with   50   quality.
    So what did Dr. Deming teach the Japanese that made such a  51   to the quality of their products? The answer is quite simple, yet profound.   52   on years of statistical analysis, Deming was able to validate(证明) that 94 % of all failures are not because people don’t want to do a good job. The fact is that   53   people want to do a good job.
    What, then, is the   54   if it’s not the people?
    It’s the system. The system failed in 94% of the    55   , not the people.

    Piercings（穿洞）have moved up on the trend list in recent Tattoos（纹身）and body years. Around Western schools lots of teens are sporting new holes and flesh ink. Like all other subjects, we’ll surely be faced with such situation. To get a better view of what has happened in the West, let’s sit down and hear what they say.
    Kerstin Otto from Washington:
    The hotter it gets and the more layers of clothing disappear, the more tattoos and piercings appear on various places of the human body, I wouldn’t be caught dead with a snake tattooed on my ankle or with a piece of metal stuck in my belly button.
    Tiara from Indiana:
    I personally think body piercing is sickening. If there were supposed to be holes in your body, you would have been born with them. I do, however, think that ear piercing, is not wrong.  There is a difference between ear piercing and belly button piercing. Ear piercing is not nearly as dangerous. I would be sick if someone stuck a needle in my belly button.
    Lee from Illinois:
    Hi! I live in Illinois. I am 23. I have 12 tattoos and three piercings. I love my tattoos
    and consider myself an art collector. You would be surprised at who has given me the thumbs-up on my art work. People on the street stop me to look at that on my leg. Most of them don’t know what it is. They just think the work itself is great.
    Nagib from Washington:
    I wanted an earring. My friends had them and it looked like a cool thing. I wanted to get a nose ring, but my mum wouldn’t let me. Now I’m glad I didn’t get it. I just wanted a little stud, but I wouldn’t have looked good with it.
    Jackson from Ohio:
    I don’t think it’s wrong, but when people do it all over the place like their face and everything —I think that’s ridiculous. People who get the big dragons that cover your whole body—I don’t think that’s necessary. When I see naked chicks on guys, I think. “You have no respect for women.”
    Brittney from New York:
    You don’t want to do stuff to your body. You don t need to do that because you were made perfect. You don’t need to add piercings. If it will make you feel beautiful and you really feel like you need to do it for yourself, then okay. If it really makes a big difference impacting your self-esteem and how you are towards others, then do it. But otherwise, don’t mess with what you got. Maybe you should try something more substantial（充实的）to find beauty in yourself.
    60. Who is wholeheartedly lost in tattoos and piercing?
    A. Tiara           B. Kerstin           C. Nagib.           D. Lee.
    61. Who doesn’t think tattoos and piercing are beautiful?
    A. Jackson.          B. Brittney.           C. Tiara.           D. Nagib.
    62. We can conclude that ________.
    A. tattoos and piercing are a new kind of elegant art
    B. all the teachers in the West are in favor of tattoos and piercing
    C. everything is changeable with time going on
    D. it is necessary to live with all different views of beauty
    63. The best title for this passage is probably _________.
    A. Body Art or Damage                    B. Damage to the Youth’s Body
    C. Young People’s Different Curiosities       D. A Great Anxiety About Young People

    Men are happier with money, while women find greater joy in friendships and relationships with their children, co – workers and bosses, a new global survey indicates.

    The Nielsen Happiness Study found that globally, women are happier than men in 48 of the 51 countries surveyed in August 2009, and only in Brazil, South Africa and Vietnam were men found to be happier than women．

    Recently, one of my best friends, whom I’ve shared just about everything with since the first day of kindergarten, spent the weekend with me. Since I moved to a new town several years ago, we’ve both always looked forward to the few times a year when we can see each other.
    Over the weekend, we spent hours and hours, staying up late into the night, talking about the people she was hanging around with. She started telling me stories about her new boyfriend, about how he experimented with drugs and was into other self-destructive behavior. I was blown away! She told me how she had been lying to her parents about where she was going and even stealing out to see this guy because they didn’t want her around him. No matter how hard I tried to tell her that she deserved better, she didn’t believe me. Her self-respect seemed to have disappeared.
    I tried to convince her that she was ruining her future and heading for big trouble. I felt like I was getting nowhere. I just couldn’t believe that she really thought it was acceptable to hang with a bunch of losers, especially her boyfriend.
    By the time she left, I was really worried about her and exhausted by the experience. It had been so frustrating, I had come close to telling her several times during the weekend that maybe we had just grown too far apart to continue our friendship，but I didn’t. I put the power of friendship to the final test. We’d been friends for far too long. I had to hope that she valued me enough to know that I was trying to save her from hurting herself. I wanted to believe that our friendship could conquer anything.
    A few days later, she called to say that she had thought long and hard about our conversation, and then she told me that she had broken up with her boyfriend. I just listened on the other end of the phone with tears of joy running down my face. It was one of the truly rewarding moments in my life. Never had I been so proud of a friend.
    56. In the writer’s opinion, her friend ________.
    A. was a girl with no self-respect
    B. could find a better boyfriend
    C. was brave enough to stick to her own choice
    D. didn’t value the writer’s suggestion
    57. What did the writer worry about?
    A. She would lose the friendship with her.
    B. Her friend’s parents would be worried about their daughter.
    C. Her friend would get into great trouble with the boy.
    D. Her friend’s boyfriend would be in great trouble.
    58. We may leam from Paragraph 3 that the writer ________.
    A. didn’t want to go anywhere else
    B. hated her friend’s hanging with her boyfriend
    C. couldn’t believe that her friend’s choice was acceptable
    D. doubted that she could in any way help her friend
    59. What can be concluded from the passage?
    A. Friendship starting from childhood is not reliable.
    B. Friendship is a cure for any injury in life.

    Escaping a fire is a serious matter: knowing what to do during a fire can save life. It is important to know the way you can use and show them to everyone in the family, such as stairs and fire escapes, but not lifts. From the lower floors of building, escape through windows is possible. Learn the best way of leaving by window with the least chance of serious injury.
    The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. A person of average height, hanging by the fingertips will have a drop of about 6 feet to the ground. It is about the height of an average man. Of course, it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.
    Windows are also very useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed before opening the window. Otherwise, smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get enough fresh air rather than smoke that may have leaked into the room.
    On a second or third floor, the best windows for escape are those which open onto a roof. From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto the cement might end in injury. Bushes and grass can help to break a fall.
    69. Which of the following people seldom use when trying to escape a fire?
    A. Windows.                        B. Doors.                                   C. Fire escapes.             D. Lifts.
    70. How far from the ground to the second floor window?
    A. About 12 feet.                                                           B. About 3 feet.
    C. Nearly 10 feet.                                                           D. About height of an average man.
    71. The writer tells us that ______.
    breathing in smoke might not be harmful
    smoke will enter the room by an open window
    fresh air can’t reach the second floor
    to keep your head low will help you escape a fire

    People in cities all over the world shop in supermarkets. Who decides what you buy in the supermarket? Do you decide? Does the supermarket decide?
    When you enter the supermarket, you see shelves full of food. You walk in the aisles between the shelves. You push a shopping cart and put your food in it.
    You probably hear soft, slow music as you walk along the aisles. This may be an attempt to please you, so you will enjoy shopping. Some supermarkets want to increase their profits by playing soft and slow music, because the slow music makes you walk slowly and you have more time to buy things.
    Fresh fruit and vegetables are usually put near the entrance. When you arrive at the supermarket, you concentrate on the kinds of fruit and vegetables you need first. Once you've got that out of the way, you can relax and do the rest of the shopping without any hurry.

The cheaper meat is at the other end of the meat department, away from where the customers enter. You have to walk past all the expensive meat before you find the cheaper meat. Maybe you will buy some of the expensive meat instead of the meat on sale.
    Most of the food in supermarkets is very attractive. It all says "Buy me quickly!" to the customers. The fresh fruit and vegetables say "Buy me quickly!" as you walk by. The expensive meat says "Buy me quickly!" The supermarket tells you what to buy.
    56. Some supermarkets play soft, slow music because it ________.

    How do successful people think? What drives them? Interviews and investigations indicate that there are several keys to success that successful people share.
    First of all, successful people never blame someone or something outside of themselves for their failure to go ahead. They realize that their future lies in their own hands. They understand that they cannot control things in life, such as nature, the past and other people. But in the meantime, they are well aware that they can control their own thoughts and actions. They take responsibility for their life and regard this as one of the most empowering things they can do. Perhaps what most separates successful people from others is that they live a life “on purpose”---- they are doing what they believe they are put here to do. In their opinion, having a purpose in their life is the most important element that enables them to become fully functioning people. They hold that when they live their life on purpose, their main concern is to do the job right. They love what they do ---- and it shows. People want to do business with them because of their commitment(忠诚). To live their life on purpose, successful people find a cause they believe in and create a business around it. Besides, they never easily give up. Once they have set up goals in their life, they are willing to work hard whatever it takes to achieve their goals. Top achievers always bear in mind what they don’t have.
    Rather than be negative or depressing, they use the knowledge to spur themselves on and go after what they want energetically and passionately.
    46. The underlined word “it ” refers to “____”.
    A. the main concern of successful people
    B. the job that successful people do
    C. the commitment with which successful people do their jobs
    D. the business that successful people do with other people
    47. By living a life “on purpose”, successful people can do the following EXCEPT ____.
    A. do a lot of work   
    B. concentrate on their jobs
    C. do business with many people     
    D. control things in life
    48. The underlined word “spur ” most probably means “____”.
    A. encourage         B. excite              C. relieve       D. compel
