    Seven students remained．The professor closed the door and took attendance．Then he 52 the final exam．There were two sentences typed on the 53 ：“54 ，you have just received an A in this class．Keep believing in yourself．”

    I  55  had a professor who gave a test like that．It may seem like the easy 56 of grading exams，but it’s a 57 that any teacher in any discipline(治学严谨)could and should give．Students who don’t have  58  in what they’ve learned are B students at best．

In China, there are   61   (variety) means of transport for day-to-day living: subways, buses, cars, and even bikes… but taxis rank high on the list.

Taxis are certainly the most convenient, as   62   requires little effort to raise your arm to call a cab. Besides, fares in China are affordable. They start in daytime hours in the capital at 13 yuan for   63   first 3 kilometers, after   64   you pay another 2.3 yuan per kilometer. This is far   65   expensive than that in European capitals. In London, for example, two kilometers’ ride could cost you about 63 yuan.

Taxicabs , as we know today, first appeared in China in the early 20th century, but   66   (be) the reserve (特权) of the rich and the powerful. Nowadays, taking a cab is common in China.

Before coming to China, I   67   (warn) that there were awful drivers who would make long detours (绕行)   68   (get) higher fares.    69   , most taxi drivers I have met are nice. They know the city like the back of their hands, and are glad to be   70   some help.

Nowadays, 61        number of earthquakes happening around the world is increasing. Why? A universal idea is that 62        is no doubt that human activity, which does great harm to the environment, is the main cause.

I can still remember it was in the year 2008 63       an earthquake happened in my hometown. That was the first time I 64      (experience) such a terrible disaster. At first my brother and I felt something strange. However, we didn’t take much notice. Then everything began to shake. Only then 65       we realize there was an earthquake. I was too frightened to move. Thanks to my brother, with 66       help I rushed outside, we escaped 67        (kill). No sooner had we got out than the whole building fell down, 68       (bury) everything within. How lucky we were!  More luckily, great importance 69       (attach) to protecting our environment ever since the occurrence of so many earthquakes. As long as we change our way of life we are sure to achieve great success. After all, it is our    70

A study now lends support to the idea that meal-time distractions (分散注意) can mask the clues that we really have eaten quite enough. Moreover, it finds, the caloric consequence of not paying attention to what we’re eating doesn’t necessarily end when a meal is over.

    Rose Cooper from England, and her colleagues gathered 22 men and an equal number of women for an experiment. Each person ate alone, continuously receiving nine small shares of food items. These ranged from cheese twists and potato chips to carrots, cherry tomatoes and sandwiches or sausage rolls.

    Because the goal was to test the potential impacts of distraction on fullness, the researchers randomly assigned half of the participants to eat in front of a computer—and to gain as many wins as possible at the “card” game. Everyone else was told to focus on the sensory qualities of their meal.

    According to their instructions, the participants ate all of the food given to them. Yet people who played a computer game during lunch found their meal less filling than the mindful eaters had. Game players also swallow down twice as many cookies, almost an hour later, when they were allowed all the dessert they wanted (in the name of a taste test). The British scientists present their findings in the February American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

The real question is why distracted eating should impact snacking. It appears, the scientists say, that memory plays some tricky role in how we register what we eat and the degree to which it satisfies.

Interestingly, eight years ago, Britta Barkeling of Huddinge University in Stockholm and her colleagues reported somewhat related findings. Their 18 overweight subjects had no choice other than to get rid of everything but lunch, on one day—because they were blindfolded. Compared to a day when they could view what they were dining on, these people consumed only three quarters as many calories. Yet even hours afterward, they reported being no less full than on the day they had been able to see their plates.

Of course dining in the dark isn’t practical. And sometimes what we eat doesn’t really invite our absolute attention. But there is certainly a growing mountain of data indicating that mindless eating is a waste of resources, a risk to our waistlines—and a costly threat to health.

67. Rose Cooper and her colleagues did the experiment in order to _______.

     A. show that all the people enjoy snacks

      B. prove that playing computer games is harmful while dining

C. find possible effects of distraction on fullness

D. test the impacts of eating snacks on different people

68. Which is the most effective way to concentrate on your food when dining?

     A. Viewing your food.                           B. Blindfolding your eyes.

C. Playing computer games.                          D. Eating by oneself.

69. The reason why distracted eating influences snacking may be that ________.

A. you eat less in that case                      B. you are cheated by your memory

C. you have consumed more calories       D. you digest what you’ve eaten faster

70. We can conclude from the passage that ________.

A. distracted eating may damage your health

B. eating snacks will make you feel full

C. Britta became famous because of the experiment

D. playing is more important than what we eat

Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling, or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be game of some kind football, hockey, golf, or tennis. It may be mountaineering.

Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their relaxation.

Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore (忽略), but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.

If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.

The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.

A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier (滑雪者) is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.

28． The main difference between a sport and a game lies in ______.

A. activity         B. uniform          C. rules          D. skills

29． Mountaineering can be called a team sport because ______.

A. mountaineers depend on each other while climbing

B. teams compete against each other

C. it is an Olympic event

D. there are five climbers on each team

30． Mountaineers compete against ______.

A. each other        B. nature

C. other teams     D. international standards

31． Which of the following might be the best title?

A. How to Climb High Mountains        B. Mountain Climbers

C. Challenging Sports Activities      D. Mountaineering

Foxes and farmers have never got on well. These small dog-like animals have long been accused of killing farm animals. They are officially considered as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them.

Farmers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population. Hunting consists of running after a fox across the countryside, with a group of specially trained dogs, followed by men and women riding horses. When the dogs eventually catch the fox they kill it or a hunter shoots it.

People who take part in hunting think of it as a sport; they wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers, and follow strict principles of behavior. But owning a horse and hunting regularly is expensive, so most hunters are wealthy.

It is estimated that up to 100,000 people watch or take part in fox hunting. But over the last couple of decades the number of people against fox hunting, because they think it is cruel, has risen sharply. Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to take place without some kind of conflict between hunters and hunt saboteurs (阻拦者). Sometimes these incidents lead to violence, but mostly saboteurs interfere with the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the fox’s smell, which the dogs follow.

Noisy conflicts between hunters and saboteurs have become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as the pursuit of foxes itself. But this year supporters of fox hunting face a bigger threat to their sport. A Labour Party Member of the Parliament, Mike Foster, is trying to get Parliament to pass a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal. If the law is passed, wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in Britain.

24. Rich people in Britain have been hunting foxes ______.

   A. to entertain themselves                      B. in the interests of farmers

   C. to limit the fox population                     D. to show off their wealth

25. What is special about fox hunting in Britain?

   A. It involves the use of a deadly poison.

   B. It is a costly event which rarely occurs.

   C. The hunters have set rules to follow.

   D. The hunters have to go through strict training.

26. People against fox hunting often interfere in the game ______.

   A. by using violence                                 B. by confusing the fox hunters

   C. by taking legal action                           D. by demonstrating on the scene

27. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.

   A. killing foxes with poison is illegal

   B. limiting the fox population is unnecessary

   C. hunting fox with dogs is considered cruel and violent

   D. fox-hunting often leads to conflicts between the poor and the rich

When I was 17, I read a quote(引语)that went something like: “If you live each day as if it were your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.” It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself, "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?"

    Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choice in life.

   About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that was incurable, and that I would live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is my doctors' code(密码) for preparing yourself to die.

   I lived with that diagnosis all day. I was completely in despair. Later that evening, I had another examination and my wife told me that tumor turned to be curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I' m fine now.

   This was the closest I've been to facing death. To tell the truth, no one wants to die. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. It clears out the old to make room for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away.

   Your time is so limited that you shouldn't waste it repeating someone else's life. Don' t be trapped by dogma（教条）— which is living with the results of other people' s thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart. It somehow already knows what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
