    There is one thing better than making a new friend, and that is keeping an old one.
    ——Elmer G Letterman
    Two years ago my family moved. The day we left, my best friend and I cried together in my  36  bedroom for hours. I was miserable during the five-hour car ride to my new house. Life was  37 ．
    On the first day of school, I called my best friend to tell her how it had gone. Then on Halloween, I sent her a letter and a picture of my new friends and me．
    Finally, she wrote me a letter. It wasn’t  38  a letter—a piece of paper saying, “Best friends forever”．
    When I finally got her e-mail address, I e-mailed her the  39  letter I have ever written. After the third e-mail with no  40 , my messages grew shorter and shorter.  41  each passing day, my  42  grew．I never received a reply from her．
    Mom said that I  43  try calling my other friends, and that I didn’t need to always call her.  44  my best friend, the girl that I had known from my childhood?
    My first  45  was automatic．“No way!” But after five more e-mail messages, I started to consider what my mom had  46 ．Every night for about a week, I stayed up in bed,  47 , “Should I keep trying or．．．?”
    The way I looked at it was that: if I’m her best friend, she’d  48  a minute to push a few buttons on the phone, or type a short “hello” on the computer. To me, keeping in touch is part of being a friend and it is important. To her, it really didn’t seem to  49 ．
    After two years of  50 , I finally got a phone call from her—my best friend. It was a big  51 ．She told me how sorry she was for not writing, and about how busy she had been. I forgot about everything that had happened and how annoyed I had been with her．I  52  her．I guess keeping in touch just isn’t her  53 ．
    I have realized true friends never really lose their special  54 ．Even after two years, it felt like we had just talked yesterday.
    Now she and I write regularly—or at least she tries to,  55  she tries hard.
    What more could a friend ask for?

       Family quarrels and lack of free time can promote headaches in children. This is what Jennifer Gassmann and her partners have concluded in a study that appears in the current issue of the Deutsches Arzteblatt International. This study was a component of a large-scale study entitled “Children, Adolescents, and Headaches”, in which data were collected in four annual “waves” from 2003 to 2006.
    Up to 30% of children around the world complain of headaches at least once a week. Out of a variety of possible factors tested in a larger study, the authors chose to look at the ones related to the children’s family and leisure time.
    According to the study, boys who experience more than one family quarrel per week have a 1.8 times higher risk of developing headaches. The amount of free time available to them seems to be even more important: boys who seldom have time to themselves have a 2.1 times higher risk of developing headaches.
    The behavior of parents when children complain of headaches also seems to play a major role. Both positive and negative responses from parents teach children that they can gain advantages from headaches. These responses have a particularly strong effect on the frequency of symptoms in girls, with supportive responses raising the risk of recurrent(周期性的) headaches by 25%.
    The genders also differed with respect to headache frequency. Twice as many girls as boys had their symptoms at least once a week. The ages of the children, however, seemed to have no more than a minor effect on their headaches.
    The study may become a reminder for parents, especially for those unpeaceful families.
    68. What is the passage mainly about?
    A. How family quarrels and lack of free time can promote headaches in children.
    B. A new study on the frequency of headaches in children.
    C. Factors which lead to children’s having headaches.
    D. Advice for parents wanting to keep their children from having headaches.
    69. We learn from the study that ______________.
    A. most children have headaches at least once a week
    B. the way a family behaves is the chief factor for the headaches of children
    C. parents are to blame for the increase in headaches in children
    D. girls are more likely to get headache symptoms than boys
    70. Parents should learn from the passage that ______________.
    A. they should spend more time with their children
    B. they should avoid quarreling
    C. they shouldn’t care when their children have headaches
    D. they should treat boys and girls differently

    B
    The worst danger is a house on fire when people are asleep. Always be ready to leave through a window into the garden by making sure you can open it if necessary. If you should be on holiday in a tall building or hotel, make sure you know where the fire escape(太平梯) is. When you can’t find any way out, try to find pieces of cloth and make a rope to get out of a window to safety. If you smell burning in your home, get out right away. If you can’t breathe properly because of smoke on your way out, crawl(爬) on your hands and knees because smoke rises and the air will be cleaner near the floor. Smoke is a killer and more people die from breathing it in than actually being burned.
    Fire in a cinema hall or public place often means people pushing to reach a door. Keep your head up with arms up in front of your chest. This protects your chest and gives you the best chance to breathe. Above all, don’t get frightened!
    60. When a tall building is on fire, people______.
    A.can leave by coming down the fire escape     B.should first check the room window
    C.had better find a long rope                 D.must lie down on the floor at once
    61. People can leave a burning house through a window if ______.
    A.there is smoke in the room          B.  there is no other way out
    C .they can’t breathe properly          D.  they want to put out the fire

    My mother through her fine example instilled(慢慢灌输) within me the desire to help others. She taught me to notice those whom others ignore.
    The railroad tracks were within a mile of our house. Beggars frequently would knock at the doors in our neighborhood in summer asking for food. They were often turned away. Others simply ignored the knocks.
    My mum always went to the door smiling. She would invite them to stay and have something to eat. She would have me open up the card table and carry a chair out onto the covered side porch(走廊). There was a nice view into the flower gardens, and it was cool even on the hottest days.
    She would bring a red and white tablecloth and set the table as carefully as she did for any company. She would pour their coffee and pile their plates with food and dessert. Usually she sent a packed lunch with them when they were ready to go, too. Sometimes she would take the newspapers to those who asked about work.
    She listened to those who wanted to talk. She never asked what would lead them to be in this difficult situation. It did not matter. She saw only the need. Some thought she did too much for them. She would say, “In the depression(萧条时期) when my father was searching around for any work to feed us, thoughtful people fed him. I am just repaying their kindness. I cannot offer them money, but I can see they do not leave hungry and discouraged,” My mum was quite a lady.

    Being the boss might mean more money and challenging work but it can also cause damage to physical and mental well-being, according to a Canadian study.
    For years studies have shown people in lower-status jobs generally have higher rates of heart disease and other illnesses and die earlier than those in higher-status positions while job authority has shown no relationship with workers’ health.
    But University of Toronto researchers, using data from 1,800 US workers, found the health of people in higher positions is affected by work as they are more likely to report conflicts with co-workers and say work disturbs their home life.
    However, the positive aspects of having a power position at work, such as higher status, more pay and greater independence, seemed to cancel out the negative aspects when it came to people’s physical and psychological health.
    These latest findings, reported in the journal Social Science & Medicine, suggest that the advantages and disadvantages authority positions basically cancel each other out, giving the general impression that job authority has no health effects.
    For the study, the researchers surveyed participants about various aspects of their work, life and well-being. Job authority was judged based on whether a person managed other employees and had power over hiring, firing and pay.
    Physical health complaints included problems like headaches, body aches, heartburn and tiredness. Psychological complaints included sleep problems, difficulty concentrating and feelings of sadness, worry and anxiety.
    “This isn’t to suggest that having authority is ‘bad’—in fact, we show it has benefits ... but it is important to identify the negative sides and deal with them.” researcher Scott Schieman said.  
    Schieman said conflicts with co-workers or involvement of work into home life may destroy at physical and mental well-being by creating stress.
    “These are key stressors that can tax individuals’ ability to function effectively,” Schieman said.
    56. Work will have a negative effect on job authority’s health probably because __________.
    A. they are not fit for their work
    B. they have power over hiring and pay
    C. they are faced with severe competition
    D. they don’t get on well with their co-workers
    57. Most people don’t see that bosses have health effects because __________.
    A. their health problems are not serious enough to see
    B. they have enough money to keep themselves healthy
    C. their problems are quite different from those of workers  
    D. the advantages and disadvantages of their status work against each other
    58. From the passage we can infer that the study aims to _________.
    A. warn people not to be a boss for ever
    B. remind the boss to deal with the bad effects of their work
    C. show that having authority is harmful to one’s health
    D. prove that being a boss can benefit a lot 
    59. The best title for this passage might be ________.
    A. Lower-status can affect health                  B. Authority can affect health
    C. Positive aspects of a power position          D. Disadvantages of being a boss

    The summer beach season is prime time for shark attacks. It seems like sharks are attacking all the time. But that is something of an illusion. The number of attacks is very small.
    How does a shark hunt? Muscles and fins give the shark its speed and maneuverability in the water. A shark’s front fins act like the wings of a plane and let it “fly” through the water. The tail acts like a high-power propeller
    But the big thing that gives the shark its edge in the ocean is its sensory package. The package includes the shark’s eyes, ears, skin, nose and mouth, as weir as electric sensing.
    A shark’s nose is probably its most important sense. If you were to put a single drop of blood in a swimming pool, a great white shark could smell that. And they can tell the direction that the smell is coming from.
    Sharks handle their electric sensing using cell located in the head. Whenever something moves using its muscles, a shark can detect the electrical impulses flowing to those muscles. A shark can electrically “see” anything that has muscles even if it is hiding or the water is not clear.
    Sharks even have vibration sensors in their skin. Even something moves near the shark, tubes pick up the pressure changes and hairs inside the tubes send signals to the brain. This extra sense allows a shark to turn quickly and attack again.
    When you put all these different senses together , it makes the shark a nearly ideal hunter. A shark can detect prey from miles away and then use eyes, electrosensing and movement sensing to home in.
    Strangely, sharks do not seem to use these senses to home in on people. The very low number of sharks tells us that sharks do not hunt people in a regular basis. On the other hand, people love to hunt sharks, Millions of sharks die every year.  Without protection, extinction is a definite possibility.
    68.From the text, we can know that_________________.
    A. it is true that sharks are attacking all the time
    B. a shark can see anything that has muscles even if it is hiding.
    C. sharks deal with their electric sensing using cell located in the skin
    D. what gives the shark its speed and maneuverability is fins and muscles
    69.What gives the shark its edge in the ocean according to the text?
    A. Its muscle.                                               B. Its nose.                      
    C. Its sensory package.                                     D. Its fins
    70. The underlined phrase home in on means___________.
    A. swim                B. move                  C. hunt                       D. smell
    71.In this text, the writer implies that__________.
    A.there ara many shark attacks                     B. humans beings should protect sharks    
    C. human beings dislike hunting shark             D. sharks’ nose is very important

    “Life is speeding up. Everyone is getting unwell.”
    This may sound like something someone would say today. But in fact, an unknown citizen who lived in Rome in AD 52 wrote it.
    We all love new inventions. They are exciting, amazing and can even change our lives.
    But have all these developments really improve the quality of our lives?
    Picture this: You’re rushing to finish your homework on the computer. Your mobile phone rings, a QQ message from your friend appears on the screen, the noise from the television is getting louder and louder. Suddenly the computer goes blank and you lose all your work. Now you have to stay up all night to get it done. How calm and happy do you feel?
    Inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often leave us feeling stressed and tired. Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities, who have not telephones, no cars, not even any electricity often seem to be happier? Perhaps because they lead simpler lives.
    One family in the UK went “back in time” to see what life was like without all the inventions we have today. The grandparents, with their daughter, and grandsons Benjamin, 10, and Tomas, 7, spent nine weeks in a 1940s house. They had no washing machine, microwave, computer or mobile phones.
    The grandmother, Lyn, said, “It was hard physically, but not mentally.” She believed life was less materialistic. “The more things you have, the more difficult life becomes,” She said. The boys said they fought less to fight over, such as their computer. Benjamin also noticed that his grandmother had changed from being a “trendy（时髦的）, beer-drinking granny, to one who cooked things.”
    Here are some simple ways to beat the stress often caused by our inventions!
    Don’t be available all the time. Turn off your mobile phone at certain times of the day. Don’t check your e-mail every day.
    Don’t reply to somebody as soon as they leave a text message just because you can. It may be fun at first, but it soon gets annoying.
    72．The passage is mainly about        .
    A．problem with technology
    B．improvements of our life with technology
    C．the important roles technology plays in our everyday life
    D．major changes which will be likely to happen to technology
    73．The writer quoted（引用） what a citizen in ancient Rome said at the beginning of the story in order to        .
    A．share a truth about life
    B．tell us what life was like long time ago
    C．make us wonder what causes such a thing to happen
    D．point out that you experience some big problems and they may be the same
    74．Why did the family choose to spend some time in a 1940’s house? Because        .
    A．they liked to live simple lives
    B．they were curious about how people lived without modern inventions
    C．they were troubled by modern inventions
    D．living in a different time would be a lot of fun for them
    75．What do you think the underlined word “available” in the first suggestion offered by the writer mean?
    A．Busy on line.   B．Free..       C．Be able to.       D．Be found by others.
