12．The riches in the world are not found in the famous gold and diamond mines，where many men and women are digging for them．Most riches in the world are found in the cemeteries（墓地）and grave yards，buried with people's dreams，aspirations，and unfulfilled potential．Why is it so？
Countless men and women died without ever having the courage to follow their own paths．Maybe because they were afraid to violate some kinds of social norms，maybe because they were afraid to be alone，or maybe simply because they preferred to settle for the familiar．They went to the graves，with a song that would never be heard，a piece of poetry never be written，a dance step never be initiated and a heart full of dreams and aspirations，leaving behind a life full of potential yet no legacy．
Michael Jordan，one of the greatest athletes once said，‘‘I can fail，but I cannot afford not to try．"Life remains a beautiful journey if we learn to take that step and to work that path．Every challenge and defeat in the process becomes a light post that sharpens the vision and shapes the direction forward．
"In my world nothing goes wrong，"said the great Indian sage Nmaja Dhahta Majraj．We must learn to trust the greatness within all of us and know that each of as is here to bring our unique contribution to the universal monument．If each of us learns to dance to the music we only can hear，society as a whole will evolve naturally and spiritually toward love，peace and happiness，and will be void of jealousy，envy and discrimination．
And Henry David Thoreau would say，"If a man does not keep pace with his companions，that is because he hears a difierent drum．''And one truly believes that the path to success and happiness passes through the dancing to such a unique drumbeat．Therefore，do not die with the music still playing inside you．

A．They are people's dreams and aspirations．
B．They are the most important things in the world．
C．They are something we can't possess and dream of．

D．They were afraid to be alone when making the dreams come true．

A．Having a try is an easy thing we can do．
B．Trying something new will bring us benefits．
C．We should be careful if we want to have a try．
D．All people are not brave enough to experience something new．
54．Which word can best describe Nihaja Dhahta Majraj according to the passage？D

3．One of the latest trend（趋势） in American Childcare is Chinese au pairs．Au Pair in Stamford，for example，has got increasing numbers of request for Chinese au pairs from aero to around 4，000since 2004．And that's true all across the country．
"I thought it would be useful for him to learn Chinese at an early age"Joseph Stocke，the managing director of s company，says of his 2-year old son．"I would at least like to give him the chance to use the language in the future，"After only six months of being cared by 25-year-old woman from China，the boy can already understand basic Chinese daily expressions，his dad says．

"Staying with a native speaker is better for children than simply sitting in a classroom，"says Suzanne Flynn，a professor in language education of Children．"But parents must understand that just one year with au pair is unlikely to produce wonders．Complete mastery demands continued learning until the age of 10or 12．"

7．One picture in the Wonder Book of knowledge I had as a little boy showed a man reading a book while floating in the Dead Sea．What a miracle!How would it feel to lie back in water so thick with salt that it was impossible to sink？
Fed by the Jordan River and smaller streams，the Dead Sea is the lowest point on the earth's surface，and its water is ten times saltier than the Mediterranean．With evaporation its only outlet，salt and other minerals become super-concentrated．
Earlier this year，I drove down the long，steep hill to realize my dream．The shoreline was a broad area of bare salt-mud，but the water edge was far out of sight．Had somebody pulled the Dead Sea's plug？I wondered．Eli Dior，an Israeli official，explained the problem："The Dead Sea is drying up．Every year，the surface drops about one meter，and as the water level falls，shadow areas are left high and dry．"
Over the last half-century，the five neighboring countries have collectively diverted nearly all the water flowing into the Dead Sea to meet human and agriculture needs．Result：the Dead Sea is being emptied．
With population in the region set to double at least in the next 50years，there is little hope of restoring the water being diverted for human consumption．No country has a drop to spare for the Dead Sea，where they know it will just evaporate．To dream of opening the dams and restoring natural balance is plainly unrealistic．
Yet one ambitious high-tech dream may turn out to be not only the salvation of the Dead Sea but also a ticket to peace around its shores．The"Red-Dead"is a proposed $5billion project to bring sea water some 240kilometers by pipeline and canal from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea．The Red-Dead may be the only solution，but even if the project is carried out successfully，the Dead Sea will be 10to 20meters lower than now and two thirds of its current size．
Whatever the future holds，the Dead Sea's magical mix of sun，mud，sea and salt will surely survive．Many might complain that the Dead Sea is half empty-but for me the Dead sea will always be half full．

74．What's the passage mainly about？C
A．Dead Sea-miracle of the world．
B．Save the environment of the Dead Sea．
C．Slow shrinking of the Dead Sea．
D．Why is the Dead Sea so salty．
75．The shrinking of the Dead Sea is mainly caused byA according to the passage．
A．a severe reduction of the water flowing into the sea．
B．rapid evaporation of the water in the Dead Sea area．
C．the increasing quantity of water drawn from the sea．
D．very low annual rainfall in the Dead Sea Area．
76．Which of the following is right according to the passage？A
A．With no outlet to any ocean，the Dead Sea has become by evaporation the saltiest on earth．
B．Though burdened with the growing population，the neighboring countries haven't cut off the sources of the Dead Sea．
C．All the countries in the area will consider diverting less water from the Jordan River．
D．The Red-Dead Project has not only brought water to the Dead Sea，but peace to the area as well．
77．Which of the following statements will the author approve of？D
A．If the Dead Sea dried up，great natural disasters would happen in the region．
B．The Dead Sea will not survive no matter what people do to save it．
C．The five neighboring countries should stop diverting water from the Jordan River．
D．Though the Dead Sea is shrinking gradually，it will not die．

11．Have you winterized your horse yet？Even though global warming may have made our climate more mild，many animals are still hibernating （冬眠）．It's too bad that humans can't hibernate．In fact，as a species，we almost did．
    Apparently，at times in the past，peasants in France liked a semi-state of human hibernation．So writes Graham Robb，a British scholar who has studied the sleeping habits of the French peasants．As soon as the weather turned cold，people all over France shut themselves away and practiced the forgotten art of doing nothing at all for months on end．
    In line with this，Jeff Warren，a producer at CBC Radio's The Current，tells us that the way we sleep has changed fundamentally since the invention of artificial（人造的）lighting and the electric bulb．
    When historians began studying texts of the Middle Ages，they noticed something referred to as"first sleep"，which was not clarified，though．Now scientists are telling us our ancestors most likely slept in separate periods．The business of eight hours'uninterrupted sleep is a modem invention．
    In the past，without the artificial light of the city to bathe in，humans went to sleep when it became dark and then woke themselves around midnight．The late night period was known as"The Watch"．It was when people actually kept watch against wild animals，although many of them simply moved around or visited family and neighhours．
    According to some sleep researchers，a short period of insomnia （失眠） at midnight is not a disorder．It is normal．Humans can experience another state of consciousness around their sleeping，which occurs in the brief period before we fall asleep or wake ourselves in the morning．This period can be an extraordinarily creative time for some people．The impressive inventor，Thomas Edison，used this state to hit upon many of his new ideas．
     Playing with your sleep rhythms can be adventurous，as anxiety may set in．Medical science doesn't help  much in this case．It offers us medicines for a full night's continuous sleep，which sounds natural； however，according to Warren's theory，it is really the opposite of what we need．

67．The example of the French peasants shows the fact thatB．
A．people might become lazy as a result of too much sleep．
B．there were signs of hibernation in human sleeping habits．
C．people tended to sleep more peacefully in cold weather．
D．winter was a season for people to sleep for months on end．
68．The late night was called"The Watch"because it was a time for peopleD．
A．to set traps to catch animals．
B．to wake up their family and neighbours．
C．to remind others of the time．
D．to guard against possible dangers．
69．What does the author advise people to do？C
A．Sleep in the way animals do．
B．Consult a doctor if they can't sleep．
C．Follow their natural sleep rhythm．
D．Keep to the eight-hour sleep pattern．
70．What is the author's purpose in writing the passage？D
A．To give a prescription for insomnia．
B．To urge people to sleep less．
C．To analyze the sleep pattern of modem people．
D．To throw new light on human sleep．

12．Dear John，
   My name is Amber and I want to share my story with you because what you've shared about life and positive energy has changed my life． This past year has been one of the hardest for me． I felt I was stuck in a position that had nothing to do with what I wanted to do with my life． In January，after two years of being together，my boyfriend left me．
    I read your blog every morning as I drink my coffee at work，but it wasn't until this March that I told myself"no more negativity"as you taught readers in your blog．
    Since then I've got into new habits at work to keep my energy positive．When people walk in the front door，I'm the first face they see，so I smile big when I say"good morning"to them，especially on Mondays． Instead of waiting for someone to ask me for help，I offer it with an open mind． The CEO noticed my change and offered me the executive assistant position that I wanted．
    One of the biggest things I've taken to heart from your blog is changing my perspective on my job． Yes，it was not an important position，but when I was passionate （热情的） about it，I could make my life fulfilling．
    All in all，I have to thank you somehow for having the passion to help others because it truly is inspiring to me． So thank you so much，John． My life has changed because your words pointed me in the right direction，Take care!
   Sincerely，
   Amber
