I often recall those good old days. At that time life was relatively simpler, and people were much more 41  and gentler. Recently, to my surprise, I got the opportunity to experience that same warmth that I thought had    42from the fast-moving world.

I was out shopping the other day with my husband, two daughters and one  43. It was a burning hot day, and we were all visibly tired and hungry. We entered a restaurant, looking for some   44   and comfort. To our disappointment, waited, tired and   47       . After quite some time, one table was vacated(空出), but that could   48         only two of us. My daughter made me sit along with her father, while she and my other daughter    49       alongside. My granddaughter sat on my   50     as we looked all around us, waiting for another table to be  51     soon.

At the next table, two young girls were sitting at a table for four and enjoying their meal. We decided to move to their table,    52       they were finished with their lunch. Since the girls had just got their    53        , I knew it would be a    54        wait. As we were deciding on what to eat, one of the girls got up and     55         their table to us. She said they would move to our table so that my family could sit together.

We were very appreciative of their kind     56        . We thanked them     57   and moved to their table. The girls quickly   58        their plates and glasses and went to sit at our table.

That day, I    59     to myself there still  were some kind, civil and helpful youngsters in this non-caring world, and my faith in humanity(人道) was    60     .

I grew up in a community called Estepona. I was 16 when one morning, Dad told me I could drive him into a 　21　village called Mijas, on condition that I took the car in to be 　22　at a nearby garage(修理站). I readily accepted. I drove Dad into Mijas, and 　23　to pick him up at 4 pm, then dropped off the car at the   　24　. With several hours to spare, I went to a theater. 　25　, when the last movie finished, it was six. I was two hours late!

I knew Dad would be angry if he 　26　I'd been watching movies. So I decided not to tell him the truth. When I 　27　there I apologized for being late, and told him I'd 　28　as quickly as I could, but that the car had needed some major repairs. I'll never forget the　29　he gave me.

"I’m disappointed you30　you have to lie to me, Jason." Dad looked at me again. "When you didn't 　31　, I called the garage to ask if there were any 　32　, and they told me you hadn't yet picked up the car." I felt　33　as I weakly told him the real reason. A34　passed through Dad as he listened attentively. "I'm angry with 　35　. I realize I've failed as a father. I'm going to walk home now and think seriously about 　36　I've gone wrong all these years." "But Dad, it's 18 miles!" My protests and apologies were　37　. Dad walked home that day. I drove behind him, 　38　him all the way, but he walked silently.

Seeing Dad in so much 　39　and emotional pain was my most painful experience. However, it was 　40　the most successful lesson. I have never lied since.

One Halloween a little boy and his friend went out for a fun night of trick-or-treating. At first everything was great. They were getting lots of candy as they went from house to house, but then they saw a house which they hadn’t been to before. It was a very spooky (阴森森的) house. Being young and brave, they decided to go up to the door and knock. After all, scary houses might have the best candy!
    As they walked up the long winding path, they saw things that chilled (使恐惧) them to the bone! They heard sounds that frightened them. Maybe they should turn back. But the little boys, being very brave, just wanted to see what was in that house, so they went on, not deterred by the things they heard or saw. As they slowly made their way up to the door, they imagined what might be inside. Maybe it would be a witch or maybe a ghost!
    After knocking several times, the door slowly creaked (嘎吱作响) open. To their surprise, a monster (怪物) slowly came out to greet them. They were so scared that they couldn’t move! What could they do? Then the little boy had an idea. He said, “Trick or treat!” Then the big scary monster, much to the kids’ surprise, reached over and brought out a huge bowl of the best candies they had never seen. Wow, the kids thought, this was great!

It turned out that the house was decorated for Halloween, and the big scary monster was just wearing a costume, just like the kids. Since they were the only kids, and were brave enough to go to the scary house, they could take as much candy as they wanted.

 Nine times out of ten, students complain to their Physical  Education teachers about being out in the hot sun,running around for no reason.Perhaps in lower level education,children see it as a

   41     of escaping the classroom,but as they grow older ,it’s simply looked upon as a huge waste of time and energy.

However,engaging in acts of physical activity from a young age is very important for both the mental and physical health of a child ;the habits learnt in  youth tend to continue into adulthood,thus having an effect on the prevalence of obesity and     42    illnesses in society.Physical activity has been     43    with an increased life expectancy in adults so its importance is obvious ,but its value for children sometimes needs to be     44    .It is never too early to start teaching a child    45    behavior and habits;however ,in middle childhood(ages6-10)children tend to be in a stage of development where they think very literally and will absorb everything you teach, do and say,.It is during this stage of development that they are most likely to be taught healthy eating habits,develop exercise programs and have an interest in    46     sports.

Physical activity is one of the most important things we all can and should do to keep our body in healthy    47     .There are many health conditions that don’t require a pill to be swallowed on a daily basis but ca be helped with a tiny amount of time invested in exercising .Physical activity is    48     for both mental and physical health.It has also been considered a tool for boosting our social life.

People who see exercise as a total waste of time should understand that exercise is essential to life because it not only prevents us from being susceptible to illness,but it also teaches us how to be disciplined in the     49    that we have complete control over our body and its outcome.Today we live in an environment where we get more unhealthy foods and beverages for a lesser cost,which in    50     promotes greater consumption ,and unhealthier children and adults.

 Those who tend to _____ to their fate are sure not to make any achievements.

A. apply           B. subscribe

 “Experience may possibly be the best teacher, but it is not a particularly good teacher. ”You might think that Winston Churchill or perhaps Mark Twain spoke those words, but they actually come from James March, a predecessor（前任） at Stanford University and a pioneer in the field of organizational decision making. For years March ( possibly be wisest philosopher of management) has studied how humans think and act, and he continues to do so in his new book The Ambiguities of Experience.

He begins by reminding us of just how firmly we have been sticking to the idea of experiential learning: “Experience is respected; experience is sought; experience is explained.” The problem is that learning from experience involves（涉及） serious complications（复杂化），ones that are part of the nature of experience itself and which March discusses in the body of this book.

In one interesting part of book，for example，he turns a double eye toward the use of stories as the most effective way of experiential learning. He says “The more accurately（精确的）reality is presented，the less understandable the story，and the more understandable the story, the less realistic it is. ”

Besides being a broadly knowledgeable researcher. March is also a poet, and his gift shines though in the depth of views he offers and the simple language he uses. Though the book is short, it is demanding: Don’t pick it up looking for quick, easy lessons. Rather, be ready to think deeply about learning from experience in work and life.

32．According to the text, James March is ____________.

A. a poet who uses experience in his writing

B. a teacher who teachers story writing in university

C. a professor who helps organizations make important decisions

D. a researcher who studies the way humans think and act

33．What can we learn from Paragraph 3?

A. Stories made interesting fail to fully present the truth.    

B. Experience makes stories more accurate.

C. The use of stories is the best way of experiential learning.

D. Stories are easier to understand when reality is more accurately described.

34．What’s the purpose of this text?

A. To explain experiential learning.

B. To describe a researcher.

C. To introduce a book

D. To discuss organizational decision making.

Beijing (Xinhua)—Blind Chinese pianist Sun Yan,23，will give a concert at the People’s Liberation Army Theatre in downtown Beijing.

Sun，a student at the well­known China Central Conservatory of Music，was born with cataracts (白内障)，which caused him to become blind.He started learning to play the piano when he was three years old and immediately gained acclaim (喝彩) as a piano virtuoso at the age of six.

Guo Shulan，head of the CCCM，said Sun was the first blind student the school had ever received in its halfcentury history.The well­known piano teacher，Yang Jun，taught Sun personally and found him to be greatly talented and strongly determined.

At his concert，Sun will play a dozen masterpieces by composers，such as Bach，Beethoven and Chopin.

“Common piano players may have a look at these long and difficult musical pieces while playing，but Sun would have to spend a much，much longer time to fully memorize a piece of music，” Yang said.“He plays the piano for at least six hours every day.”

With painstaking effort for the past few years，Sun achieved very good grades at school and also gained an audience worldwide.He was invited to visit dozens of countries and regions and even performed at top theatres such as Caregie Hall in the United States.

Top fashion brand Mark Fairwhale and piano manufacturer Bosendorfrr will offer Sun a financial support fund and the use of piano，respectively.The PLA Theatre will also provide him technical support and a stage setting design free of charge.Three schoolmates of Sun’s who were also pianists，for winning top prizes in international competitions，will be guest performers at the concert.

Expecting to graduate with a bachelor degree next year，Sun has applied to study for a master’s degree.

“Music changes people’s lives.I hope I can continue to study the piano for the rest of my life.” Sun said.

     The earth is getting warmer. The planet is suffering. But what can you do about it? Reduce the amount of waste you generate. Use cleaner energy sources and go greener today, starting with these steps:

1. Get a reusable water bottle

    Americans buy about 25 billion single-serving plastic water bottles each year. That's an average of 83 bottles per person per year. Plastic bottles take plenty of resources to produce, including fuel for transportation and petroleum to make the plastic. Even recycling bottles uses energy.

2. Eat less meat

    You don't need to become a vegetarian to help save the planet. Eating meat just one day less a week can reduce your negative impact on the environment. More water, energy and land are required to produce meat than to produce grain.

3. Switch to energy-efficient light bulbs

    Most households use standard incandescent(白炽的) bulbs. But compact fluorescent(荧光的) light bulbs, or CFLs, use 66 percent less energy than standard bulbs, produce just as much light, last up to 10 times longer and don't need to be replaced as often. If every household in the United States replaced just one incandescent light bulb with a CFL bulb, it would equal removing one million cars from the road.

4. Buy organic and local food

    Did you know that only 1 percent of pesticides(杀虫剂) applied to crops reach the pests they target? The rest enter the environment. Organic food is grown without the use of pesticides. Organic farming can use 50 percent less energy than traditional farming methods. Buying local food saves on the fuel used to transport food grown elsewhere, thousands of miles across the country or around the world.

5. Recycle your electronics

    Everyone knows the importance of recycling glass and plastic, but what about cell phones, computers, CDs and batteries? Electronics are responsible for about 40 percent of toxic(有毒的) heavy metals such as lead and mercury. Check with your city's recycling facilities to see if they take electronics.

 27. The readers of this passage are called on to        .

      A. keep a balanced diet                                   B. use water in a wise way

      C. donate money for charity                             D. help reduce global warming

 28. What is an advantage of CFLs according to the passage?

      A. They use more energy but produce more light.

      B. They are as energy-efficient as incandescent bulbs.

      C. They can last longer so don't need to be replaced often.

      D. They cost less money than standard incandescent bulbs.

 29. Which of the following figures is correct according to the passage?

      A. 99 of the pesticides used on crops is effective in practice.

      B. Eating meat one day less a week helps cut environment costs.

      C. Every year an American buys 63 plastic water bottles on average.

      D. Electronics account for half of poisonous heavy metals on the earth.

 30. Which can be the best title for this passage?

      A. Why Is the Earth Getting Warmer?

      B. What Can We Do About Pollution?

      C. How Can You Lead a Greener Life?

      D. Who Is to Blame for Global Warming?

A motto is a sentence or a phrase   41   can inspire us especially when we are   42   (face) with difficulties. Many of us have our mottoes, such as “Where there is a will, there is a way.” Or “Nothing is difficult if you put your heart into it.”, and so on. My motto is “God helps those who help      43   .” Sometimes I am lazy and don’t want to make efforts   44   ( work) hard,   45    the moment I think of my motto I will get energetic again and devote myself   46   what I am doing. I write my motto   47   I can see it easily. Every time I fail in my exam and begin to lose heart, the sight of my motto inspires me with much   48   (confident). My motto also makes me become   49   independent person. That is to say, I won’t rely on others easily.

My friends, what is your motto? If you still haven’t got a motto, please choose   50   because a motto can have a great effect on you.
