    When I was young，I wished for a good car and a big house. That was my idea of success. I took all the advanced classes and tried to do well in the exams with my mind set on going to a key school. I just knew that I would somehow become famous and be able to afford the car and the dream house. All the way through junior years，my mind was planning this beautiful future.
    Then in the eleventh grade, many losses changed my mind. First, one of my friends died at 16. Soon after， my great-grandmother passed away followed by my beloved fourth-grade teacher. These events left me not knowing what to do or where to go. Death had never touched me so closely.
    After a long period of emptiness, it finally struck me: Life is not promised and neither is future success. Though I was attempting to achieve material success， I was not enjoying my daily life. I realized that finding inner peace， purpose and happiness will stick with me forever and that is real success.
    Enjoying life's precious quirks (偶发事件) makes an ordinary person more successful than a wealthy person who isn't content and takes everything for granted. The summer before senior years, my attitude changed greatly. Instead of memorizing facts, I began learning skills. Instead of focusing on the future， I focused on today and the many blessings and successes that came with it.
    I still get excellent grades， but now I devote weeks to studying instead of struggling for exams, and I think about the future with a deeper sense of meaning. For me, being successful means truly living life each day.
    68.The reason why the author changed his idea of success is ____.
    A.that he can't afford his house
    B.that his beloved teacher was dead
    C.that he didn't know what to do or where to go
    D.that he lost a few beloved persons in a short time
    69.What does the author want to tell the readers?
    A.The true meaning of the life.
    B.The true meaning of studying
    C.How to achieve success.
    D.His opinion about success.
    70. According to the passage which of the following is TRUE?
    A.The writer thinks the success is not promised.
    B.His teacher died before the death of his grandpa.
    C.The writer didn’t do well in all the exams.
    D.He didn’t want to take all the exams.

    When Han Duan started her professional career at 16, China’s national women’s football team was defeated in the final of the World Cup by the US. While she was asked to play in her first World Cup in 2003, she largely remained on the bench after the first match.
    But things have changed. Now, Han is one of the most important players in China’s team. “I can’t wait to play. Life is short. You must make the most out of it,” Han always says like that. 
    Han wants every possible honor that a football player can get — an Asian Cup, a World Cup and an Olympic medal. She has always been good at sports, especially swimming and horizontal bars. At school, she was the fastest in the 60m and 100m.
    But the reason she picked football was that she wanted to get more compliments (称赞). “Football is for boys. But I feel more fulfilled when I can do better than them and win more compliments,” she said. Later, when she entered a football school, the coach always asked Han to show others what to do.
    However, nobody can be good at everything. Han described her singing as “howling” and the only school subject she was good at was Chinese. “I was very happy every time my essay was posted on the wall for my schoolmates to read.” But Han still has some regrets about her school years. Her handwriting was terrible at school. She ever wanted to improve her handwriting but didn’t achieve much.
    “My fans ask for my signature (签名), so I’d better practice and practice. It’s not too late,” she says.
    56. In the World Cup in 2003, Han Duan was a(n) ______.
    A. member of the audience     
    B. unimportant player
    C. team captain          
    D. fan of a sports star
    57. What does the underlined part in the second paragraph imply?
    A. Han Duan siezes every chance to learn more to fulfill herself.
    B. Han Duan never wastes any of her practicing time.
    C. Han Duan seizes every chance to take part in matches.
    D. Han Duan has become ill and she will die quite soon.
    58. According to the passage, we know that Han Duan ________.
    A. has won an Asian Cup, a World Cup and an Olympic medal
    B. was good at sports when she was at school
    C. did very well in singing and Chinese when she was at school
    D. often gets compliments because of her beautiful handwriting
    59. From the fourth paragraph, it can be inferred that Han Duan most probably ________.
    A. felt sad as the boys laughed at her
    B. felt proud as she got compliments from others
    C. felt sad as she was too strong as a girl
    D. hated herself as she couldn’t do anything else well
    60. What’s the best title of this passage?
    A. Growth of a sports star.           B. The World Cup.
    C. Honor of a football player.        D. Star of tomorrow.

    If you don’t prepare yourself now, retirement may be some of the most boring and dull years of your life. To have a happy, fulfilling retirement, you need to start preparing right away.
    The most obvious thing for people to do when they retire is to take up a hobby. The most important step to take before retiring, though, is to make sure that you actually have started some hobbies. Once you’re retired, unless you ‘ve already started a hobby, you’ll find it very hard to get into something new. Some hobbies aren’t for everyone. Think about what you enjoy doing and start participating on a casual basis now.
    Another thing many people participate in is volunteering. Not only does volunteering give you something to do, it also gives you a sense of accomplishment(成就) and can add meaning to your life .Volunteering is also rewarding in other ways, too. There are hundreds of different types of volunteer services and you’ll always be able to meet new and interesting people. Also, don’t think that volunteering is always only about helping someone for free. Many companies pay their volunteers after they’ve had enough experience and prove themselves to be valuable workers.
    There are plenty of other potions, as well. Going back to school is a great way to keep yourself feeling young. Taking a vacation around the world with your loved ones is another great way to spend your retirement.
    Ultimately, though, the key to a happy retirement is simply keeping yourself busy and doing whatever you love. If there’s nothing you love doing now, then you’ll find that once you have a vast amount of free time, your life will be pretty empty. Now is the time to find out what you want to do when you retire.
    小题1:Why does the author suggest starting a hobby before retirement?
    A．Because we are likely to have difficulty starting a hobby after retirement.
    B．Because we are gong to have a vast amount of free time after retirement.
    C．Because we will only have a limited choice of hobbies after retirement
    D．Because not every one of us has already started some hobbies already.
    小题2:What can we learn about volunteering from the text?
    A．We can make devoted friends through volunteering.
    B．It can help companies find hard-working workers.
    C．One can even make some money by volunteering.
    D．Almost everyone is willing to help in some way.
    小题3:Which of the following can best explain “a happy retirement”?

    B．Going back to university for further study.
    C．Having plenty of free time for one’s hobbies.

    It could happen to you
    Many people think there is no need to take special care over home safety.
    “I’ all right, I’m insured(投保).”
    Maybe-----if you’re fully insured. Even then you can never recover the value you place upon your possessions, because you can’t insure against the suffering of mind that we all feel if our homes are torn apart by some strangers, our windows and doors broken, or our possessions ruined.
    “It won’t happen to me.”
    Won’t it? A house is broken into every three minutes of the day. Loss of all kinds, including cars and things stolen from cars, happens every 35 seconds.
    “I’ve nothing worth stealing.”
    You may think not. But in fact everyone has something worth a thief’s attention. And we all have things of personal value, even if they’re worth little or nothing inn hard cash.
    “I’m only a tenant(房客) here.”
    The thieves don’t care whether you’re a tenant or an owner. You’re just as weak either way. Have a word with the owner if you think extra safety fittings are necessary.
    “They all get in anyway.”
    Most thieves are on the lookout for easy pickings. They are soon discouraged by houses they can’t get into quickly and easily. So do pay special attention.
    “This booklet(小册子) will help you…”
    It’s based on the practical experience of police forces throughout the country. Most of the suggestions will cost you only a few minutes and thought. A few may cost some expense, but this is small compared with the loss and sadness you might otherwise suffer.
    If you are in any doubt, ask for free advice from the crime Prevention Office at your local police station.
    60. The passage is mainly about _____.
    A. how to protect your home         B. how to take special care of ourselves
    C. how to hire a safe house in the country     D. how to escape being caught 61. What does the sentence “A few may cost some expense” in the last two paragraphs mean?
    A. You should pay for some of the suggestions.
    B. Following the suggestions means you will have to spend some money on home protection.
    C. some people are willing to pay for the suggestions.
    D. Some of the suggestions are expensive.
    62. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
    A. It’s impossible to prevent a house from being broken into.
    B. Few people would like to get advice from the local police station.
    C. Some thieves are only interested in stealing things from houses protected well.
    D. People should care more about home safety.
    63. This passage is probably a (an) _____.
    A. advertisement for selling safely-guarded houses             
    B. article on crime
    C. booklet from the Crime Prevention Office
    D. suggestion from insurance companies

    One of Britain’s bravest women told yesterday how she helped to catch suspected (可疑的) police killer David Bieber — and was thanked with flowers by the police. It was also said that she could be in line for a share of up to ￡30,000 reward money.
    Vicki Brown, 30, played a very important role in ending the nationwide hunt. Vicki, who has worked at the Royal Hotel for four years, told of her terrible experience when she had to walk silently into Bieber’s bedroom and to watch him secretly. Then she waited alone for three hours while armed police prepared to storm the building.
    She said: “I was very nervous. But when I opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policemen lined up in the car park I was so glad they were there.”
    The alarm had been raised because Vicki became suspicious (怀疑) of the guest who came at 3 pm the day before New Year’s Eve with little luggage and wearing sunglasses and a hat pulled down over his face. She said: “He didn't seem to want to talk too much and make any eye contact .” Vicki, the only employee on duty, called her bosses Margaret, 64, and husband Stan McKale, 65, who phoned the police at 11 pm.
    Officers from Northumbria Police called Vicki at the hotel in Dunston, Gateshead, at about 11:30 pm to make sure that this was the wanted man. Then they kept in touch by phoning Vicki every 15 minutes.
