    The nervous-looking young man had waited for a few moments outside the jeweller’s before he got enough courage to enter. He was warmly greeted by a young assistant. James felt a rush of blood to his face as he explained he would be bringing in his future wife to choose a birthday present. The assistant listened carefully and told him he’d better buy a necklace. He wasn’t used to buying jewellery and was a little worried about overspending. After some discussion as to a reasonable price and the type, the assistant showed him dozens of necklaces and helped him to choose. At last James chose one and left the shop promising to return at five o’clock.
    When, half an hour later than planned, James did return to the shop with his future wife Laura, the assistant acted as if she had never seen him before. When she was asked to show them some necklaces, she first brought out some inexpensive ones for them to choose, and then gave them the one she had prepared. A choice was soon made and they went away satisfied.
    James would certainly come back to buy what he wanted when he got married.

    Four in 10 Chinese complain about the great gap between large investments in education and its returns, a recent nationwide survey has showed.
    The Horizon Research Consultancy Group polled 3,355 residents aged 16 to 60 in both urban and rural areas, including Beijing and Shanghai.
    The survey found that only 16 percent of respondents believed their investments on education gave good returns.
    Those with higher education voiced greater disappointment at the quality of education received, the survey showed.
    People in the rural areas generally gave more positive feedback（反馈）on the quality of education than those from the cities, the survey found.
    "Our education has been focusing on an examination-oriented system," Huo Qingwen, the deputy director of language education testing service center under the Beijing Foreign Studies University, told China Daily yesterday.
    "The survey result doesn't surprise me, as I had heard complaints not only from the students, but also from the teachers who have been asked to focus more about the exam-passing rate," Huo said.
    "The job market is still hungry for talented staff, but many graduates are not competent(胜任的) because the posts require more practical experience and creative ability of workers," Huo added.
    Most university graduates prefer jobs in large cities, causing an imbalance in human resources between urban and rural areas, Hong said.
    The graduates would get better job options if they chose to work at the grassroots (基础的) level because of the government's preferential policies, including the waiving of tuition for those willing to work in the country's rural and western regions, he added.
    About 580,000 graduates last year found county- or village-level jobs, and more than 550,000 got jobs in the central and western regions, Ministry of Education figures showed.
    "Because many graduates focus only on jobs with high salaries and that are directly relevant to their specialties, they miss other good work opportunities," Kong Xiang, a Beijing graduate who works as an English teacher in a college located at a remote area in Yunnan province, said.
    The recent survey showed that education costs form one-quarter of an urban family's income, while it forms one-third of a rural family's income.
    46．According to the passage, most people think that _______
    A. the investments in education gave them good returns.
    B. the investments in education don’t bring them good results.
    C. college students are satisfied with their the education received.
    D. People in the cities are more satisfied with the quality of education than those in the rural areas.
    47．Which of the following is NOT mentioned?
    A. China’s education has been focusing on an examination-oriented system .
    B. Both the teachers and students are asked to pay more attention to the exam-passing rate.
    C. The job market now does not lack university graduates.
    D. Most university graduates enjoy hunting jobs in large cities.
    48. What would happen to the graduates if they chose to work at the grassroots level?
    A. They would get higher salaries.                        B. They would get lower salaries.
    C. Their tuition would be free.                           D. They would get better job choices.
    49. How much does the education cost according to the survey ?
    A. One-third of a family's income.
    B. one-quarter of a rural family's income.
    C. 25% of an urban family's income.
    D. Three in ten a rural family's income.
    50. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage.
    A. The gap between investments in education and its returns
    B. Education and university graduates
    C. China’s higher education
    D. Education costs

    If you' re feeling stressed, rather than wallow （沉迷） in watching television, try looking out of the window, with a US study finding scenes of nature can ease off minor stress levels．
    Researchers at the Human Interaction with Nature and Technological Systems Lab at the University of Washington set out to look at whether nature, either the real thing or the one depicted （描述） technologically, can impact on minor stress levels．The study involved measuring people' s heart recovery rates from minor stress when they were exposed to a natural scene through a window and when exposed to the same scene shown on a high-definition plasma （等离子） screen, or a blank wall．
    "The heart rates of people who looked at the scene through the window dropped more quickly than the others．In fact, the high-definition plasma screen had no more effect than the blank wall," the researchers said in a statement．They also found that when people spent more time looking at the natural scene their heart rates tended to decrease more．That was not the case with the plasma screen．
    The study, involving 90 college students, is published in the Journal of Environmental Psychology．"Technology is good and it can help our lives, but let' s not be fooled into thinking we can live without nature," Peter Kahn, who led the research team, said in a statement．He said people were losing direct experiences with nature and instead experiencing nature represented technologically through television and other media with children growing up watching Discovery Channel and Animal
    Planet．"But as a species we need interaction with actual nature for our physical and psychological well-being," he said．
    59．According to the passage, watching an actual natural scene on a high-definition plasma screen __        
    A．is actually harmful to one' s health
    B．is as good to one' s health as watching an actual natural scene

    60．Peter Kahn believes that watching Discovery Channel and Animal Planet
    A．is quite necessary for the growth of children
    B．doesn't help in the growing process of children
    C．does more harm than good to children
    D．can't take the place of children' interaction with the real nature
    61．The study shows that people' s heart rates decrease the most when they____
    A．fix their eyes on a blank wall
    B．watch a beautiful scene on a high-definition plasma screen
    C．watch the natural scene out of a window
    D．fix their eyes on a natural scene depicted technologically

    Writer and power chair adventurer Mary Laver has not walked for twenty years. Yet the cheerful and positive 60 year old is not only refusing to let her disability get her down ---- she is also planning to cross the length of Britain in a power wheelchair.
    Getting ready for the trip is not easy. She has already run into many problems - not least officials and organizations who view her as a health and safety risk. One police officer wrote to Mary requesting:
    1. The proposed route through our area with road numbers.
    2. The dates and times each day that this will be taking place.
    3. The location details of the proposed overnight stops.
    4. The names and mobile phone contact details of the Support Crew.
    Another police officer asked her to travel off road! As Mary told me, this was unacceptable - as a power wheelchair user with limited movement she needs to be"gettable".
    There are other problems in her way though - she is, after all, in her 60’s and has severe rheumatoid arthritis(风湿性关节炎). However, unlike many other people with arthritis, she is no longer in pain.
    "When you are in a power chair and it is going at eight miles an hour, believe me it feels fast … to me it is the Formula One(一级方程式赛车) chair of electric wheelchairs."
    At the end of the interview, I asked Mary if she had a message for any other power chair users who wanted to do a challenge, and her reply was simple："Just do it!"

    C．The power chair is too fast.D．He wanted to ensure her safety.
    小题3:The underlined word “She needs to be gettable” in the passage probably means          “_______”

    Every day, life is made and lost. Every day, life goes on. Every day we experience some of the most important parts of life and may not even realize it: love, generosity, and perseverance. These values aren’t just important to us; they make the world what it is.
    Scientists say that gravitaional(重力的)force makes the world turn, but some people say that love makes it go round. Love can be found anywhere: in families, friends, even complete strangers. Even if you can’t see it, you know it’s there.
    Love may connect people all over the world, but what would the world be without generosity? Whether after a national disaster, or a school fund-raiser, one thing is certain----it is better to give than to receive. Generosity is found everywhere and whether it’s a large or small act, it makes a difference. Sometimes, though, it takes effort to be generous, which leads us to perseverance.
    Founding a country, riding a bike, or finishing an essay, these are all finished with perseverance. Perseverance is the one thing that can help us achieve whatever we want. It is what helps scientists to discover cures for diseases, and athletes to become champions.
    There is an infinite(无穷的) number of things we value, but without love, generosity and perseverance, we just don’t think that our life or the world would be the way it is.
    1. The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to “________”.
    A. the world              B. gravitational force
    C. value                    D. experience
    2. To be generous, the author thinks________.
    A. you needn’t make efforts                    B. you should be qualified
    C. you should give all you have        D. you will find it good to give
    3. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
    A. Perseverance is the only thing that can halp us to achieve success.
    B. People don’t understand the life they are experiencing at all.
    C. We can find love in complete strangers sometimes.
    D. What the world is like depends on gravity and love.
    4. What would be the best title for the passage?
    A. Success and Failure                    B. Three Values
    C. Endless Love                          D. Life Full of Hope
