    After years of study, I have known there are only two types of people in this world: those who get to the airport early and those who arrive when the plane is about to take off.
    If there were any justice（公正）in this world, early-airport people would be rewarded for doing the right thing. And late-airport people would be punished. But early-airport people get ulcers（溃疡）, heart attacks and bite their fingernails to the bone. Late-airport people almost don’t realize they are flying.
    A guy of that kind once said, “Don’t hurry. If you miss your flight, it’s because God doesn’t want you to go.” This is clearly a guy who is never going to get an ulcer.
    Early-airport people suffer another “name”. They are called exactly what they are -wimps（窝囊废）. I know. I was an early-airport person for years. “My baggage will get on the plane first,” I told myself. Indeed it would, which made it the last baggage they took off the plane after landing.
    Another strange thing: No matter how early I showed up, I was always told that someone had called two or three years ahead of me and asked for the best seat. I thought it was a trick. I thought there was someone in America who called every airline every day and said: “Is that wimp Simon flying somewhere today? If he is , give me his seat.”
    After a lifetime arguing with my wife over whether I really have to pack 24 hours in advance and set the alarm clock four hours ahead, I have learned another fact about early-airport people and late –airport people:
    They always marry each other.
    小题1:We can learn from the passage that     .
    A．late-airport persons are often nervous
    B．early-airport persons are always at ease during the flight
    C．early-airport persons get their baggage first after the landing
    D．late-airport persons always take things easy
    小题2: Paragraph 5 mainly wants to tell us that      .
    A．someone always plays tricks on the writer
    B．the airlines usually fool passengers
    C．early-airport persons always can’t get good seats
    D．the service of airlines is very bad
    小题3:This passage is written in order to     .
    A．give readers tips about taking a plane
    B．offer suggestions about having a good plane trip
    C．express the writer’s anxiety about taking a plane
    D．show people’s different attitudes toward catching planes
    小题4: It could be inferred that the writer’s wife is     .
    A．an early-airport womanB．a late-airport woman
    C．a hot-tempered womanD．a sensitive woman

    小题1:D
    小题2:C
    小题3:D
    小题4:B

    　　"Mark Twain" was the name used by Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835-1910) when he wrote books. His father was a lawyer, but a poor one, who lived at Florida, Missouri. The family was so poor that Samuel did not receive much teaching. He had to learn all that he could from the people whom he met. His father died when he was very young, and then there was even less money than before.
    　　Many of the men in this part of America worked in the ships on the great River Mississippi, and he did this himself at one time (1857).
    　　Where did he find the name "Mark Twain"? It came from the great river itself. It was part of one of the cries used by men who worked in the ships. When a man called "By the mark twain!"  he meant that the river was "two marks deep" there, that is to say, six feet deep ( "Twain" is an old form of the work "Two".) Samuel Clemens often heard these words when he was young, and he used them as a penname all his life.
    　　During his work on the Mississippi he met travelers of all kinds, and this helped him a great deal when he started to write. But the number of travelers became smaller when war started in America in 1861. Many of the great ships on the river stopped work. Samuel left then and went to Nevada with his brother, who was at that time Governor of Nevada. There, near the town of Carson, Samuel became a gold miner, but he never made much money at the time. He soon saw that life in the gold mines was not for him. He also tried writing for the newspapers in Nevada, and this seemed more hopeful. He found that he could write.
    　　He went to Europe in 1867 and visited France and Italy. In 1870 he married Olivia Langdon, and two years later he was spending nearly all his time writing. Among his books is his own story (1908).
    　　He is now always known as Mark Twain, and many people do not even know that his family name was Clemens. He traveled in America and in England, and went to Oxford in 1907. He was one of  the great American writers of the time, and could make his readers laugh – a thing which few writers can do. He died in 1910.
    小题1:"Mark Twain" was _________.
    A．a famous American writerB．name of a book
    C．a great river in AmericaD．a large ship
    小题2:As a child, Samuel did not get much education because _________.
    A．his father died too early
    B．the family was very poor
    C．he disliked school very much
    D．he could learn what he liked from the people he met
    小题3: What gave him a great deal when he started writing? _______
    A．His poor childhoodB．The Mississippi river
    C．All kinds of travelers he met D．His brother
    小题4: We can infer from the passage that ________.
    A．Samuel loved writing from his early age
    B．Samuel did not love writing at the beginning
    C．his writings to the newspaper were successful
    D．his brother encouraged him to write more
    小题5:According to the writer of the passage, a good writer could _________.
    A．write a lot for his readers
    B．make a lot of money for his family
    C．cause his readers to laugh
    D．travel everywhere he wanted

    In the past, people who graduated from college felt proud of their academic achievement and confident that their degree would help them find a good job.
    However, in the past four years the job market has changed dramatically. This year’s college graduates are facing one of the worst job markets in years. For example, Ryan Stewart, a graduate of San Jose University, got a degree in religious studies, but no job prospects. He points out that many people already working are getting laid off and don’t have jobs, so it’s even harder for new college graduates to find jobs.
    Four years ago, the future looked bright for the class of 2003. There were many high-tech job opportunities. Graduates received many job offers, and they were able to get jobs with high salaries and benefits such as insurance and paid vacations. However, “Times have changed and it’s a new market,” according to Cheryl Allmen- Vinnidge of the San Jose State Career Center.
    Allmen-Vinniage says students who do find jobs started preparing two years ago. They worked during summer vacations, they have had several internships（实习）, and they’ve majored in one of the few fields that are still hot, like chemical engineering, accounting, or nursing, where average starting salaries have actually increased over last year. Other popular fields (like information system management, computer science, and political science) have seen big declines in starting salaries.
    Ryan Stewart (he had hoped to become a teacher) may just end up going back to school. “I’d like to teach college some day and that requires more schooling, which would be great in bad economy.” he said.
    In conclusion, these days, to some students a degree may not be a ticket to instant wealth. For now, they can only hope its value will increase over time.
    小题1:The word in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to ________.
    A．skillB．interestsC．opportunitiesD．applications
    小题2:Which of the following majors can get a job easily?
    A．teachingB．accountingC．political scienceD．computer science
    小题3:The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means ________.
    A．the best way to get rich is not to get a college degree
    B．most students with degrees will not be able to find jobs
    C．having a college degree does not qualify one for travel discounts
    D．a college degree does not mean that one will find a well-paid job
    小题4:Ryan Stewart will have to ________.
    A．change his majorB．get a job teaching
    C．go back to schoolD．become a religious leader
    小题5:The main idea of this passage is that ________.
    A．a lot of graduates are losing their jobs
    B．Ryan Stewart has not been able to find a job
    C．salaries in some fields have increased in the past year
    D．the job market has changed dramatically over the past 4 years

    My grandparents were married for over half a century, and played their own special game from the time they met each other. The goal of their game was to write the word “shmily” in a surprise place for the other to find.
    “Shmily” was written in the steam left on the mirror after a hot shower, where it would reappear bath after bath. At one point, my grandmother even opened an entire roll of toilet paper to leave “shmily” on the very last sheet. Little notes with “shmily” scribbled (潦草地写) hurriedly were found on dashboards (仪表板) and car seats, or taped to steering wheels.
    It took me a long time before I was able to fully appreciate my grandparents’ game. Skepticism (怀疑态度) had kept me from believing in true love — one that is pure and lasting. However, I never doubted my grandparents’ relationship. They had love down pat. It was more than their flirtatious (爱调戏的) little games; it was a way of life. Their relationship was based on devotion and passionate love.
    Grandma and Grandpa held hands every chance they could. They stole kisses as they bumped into each other in their tiny kitchen. They finished each other’s sentences and shared the daily crossword puzzle and word jumble. My grandma whispered to me about how cute my grandpa was, how handsome and old he had grown to be. She claimed that she really knew “how to pick ‘em.”
    But there came a dark cloud into my grandparents’ life: when my grandmother got breast cancer. Gradually it took over the whole of her body. One day, what we all dreaded finally happened. Grandma was gone.
    “Shmily.” It was scrawled in yellow on the pink ribbons of my grandmother’s funeral bouquet (花束). The family came forward and gathered around Grandma one last time. Grandpa stepped up to my grandmother’s casket (棺) and, taking a shaky breath, he began to sing to her. Through his tears and sadness, the song came, a deep and throaty lullaby (催眠曲,). Shaking with my own sorrow, I would never forget that moment.
    S-h-m-i-l-y: See How Much I Love You.
    小题1:The point of the article is to ________.
    A．give advice on how to keep love fresh
    B．explain to readers the meaning of “shmily”
    C．show the true love between the writer’s grandparents
    D．express how much the writer loved her grandparents
    小题2:What is the function of the second paragraph?
    A．To support the first paragraph.B．To introduce the next paragraph.
    C．To give the main idea of the article.D．To make the article more interesting.
    小题3:The author’s grandmother ________.
    A．used to kiss her grandfather in secret
    B．died from breast cancer, which spread all over
    C．played crossword puzzle daily with her grandfather
    D．considered her grandfather old and careless
    小题4:What is the author’s attitude toward her grandparents’ love?
    A．She doubts whether it was true love.
    B．She finds their way of expressing love strange.
    C．She admires their romantic and passionate love.
    D．She thinks she will never be able to love like that.

    A new study by a Penn State College of Medicine research team found that honey is a better and safer treatment for children than cough medicines.   
    Ian Paul, the study’s lead researcher, was motivated to test honey because treating coughs in children has recently become a sticky subject. Coughing is the body’s way of clearing irritated (受刺激的) airways to help you breathe. But too much coughing can irritate your lungs and throat even more. It can also make it tough to get the sleep your body needs to heal. Hoping to ease the suffering of their children, parents often give them cough medicines.  
    But there have never been any good studies showing that they work. Cough and cold medicines may also cause serious side effects. Hundreds of kids die in the hospital each year after receiving too much cough medicine by mistake. Last October, the US Food and Drug Administration suggested that parents should not give cough medicines to children under 6.
    In order to search for a different solution, Paul designed a study that involved 105 kids who were sick with coughs and other cold conditions. At bedtime, the kids took buckwheat (荞麦) honey, honey-flavored (蜂蜜味的) DM (one of the most common ingredients in cough medicines), or no treatment. Parents and kids in the no-
    -treatment group knew they weren’t getting anything, but the other two groups weren’t told which treatment they were getting.
    The surveys showed that kids who swallowed about 2 teaspoons of buckwheat honey before bedtime coughed less and slept better than kids in the other groups. “When parents want something for their kids to take,” Paul says, “honey seems like the best option”.
    But what gives honey its healing power? Substances called antioxidants (抗氧化剂) may be part of the answer. All honey contains antioxidants that protect our cells from damage. Studies show that antioxidant levels in the body rise after someone swallows honey.
    68. Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?
    A. No cough medicines to children    
    B. Sweet solution to kids’ coughing
    C. Best treatment for your cold   
    D. Cough medicines don’t work  
    69. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that coughing ______.
    A. sometimes does good to people 
    B. can cure lung and throat diseases
    C. is more harmful to children  
    D. helps improve children’s diet   
    70. During Paul’s experiment, the kids who received treatment ______.
    A. seemed much worse than before 
    B. knew they weren’t getting anything 
    C. coughed less and slept better
    D. had no idea what they swallowed
