Many students may feel stressed because of their parents. Most parents have good intentions,

41 some of them aren’t very helpful with the problems their sons and daughters have in

42 (adjust) to college, and a few of them seem to go out of their way to add to their children’s

43 (difficult).

For one thing, parents are often not aware 44 the kinds of problems their children face.

They don’t realize that the 45 (compete) is stronger, that the required standards of work are

46 (high), and that their children may not be prepared for 47 change. They may be upset

by their children’s poor grades. At their kindest, they may 48 (gentle) ask why John or Mary

isn’t doing better, whether he or she is trying as hard as he or she should, and so on. At their worst,

they may threaten 49 (take) their children out of college or cut off living expenses.

Sometimes parents think it right and natural that they determine 50 their children do with

their lives. They forget that everyone is different and that each person must develop in his or her

own way.

Dear Diana,

Thank you for the lovely day we have with you. It was so kind for you to let us bring Anne's friend, Gina. Unfortunate, the only problem was the journey home. There had been a terrible accident on the highway and, for a result, there was a long line of traffic for at least six mile. In the end, we drove to a service station and waited there unless the road was clear. In the car park here Gina nearly got knocked over as car drove out far too quickly from behind a lorry. They finally dropped Gina off at her parents' and made our own way to home.

Much love,

Fiona

March 21 has been declared World Sleep Day, a time to recognize and celebrate the value of sleep. Many sleep experts hope it will be a wake-up call.

According to a poll (民意调查)by the National Sleep Foundation, nearly 4 in 5 Americans don’t get as much sleep as they should during the workweek. On average, adults are thought to need at least eight hours of sleep a night, although some can manage with less and some won’t do well without more. But the survey found that, on workdays, only 21% of Americans actually get a full eight hours of sleep, and another 21% get less than six.

To many of us, the thought of spending more time sleeping is, well, a big yawn. On the other hand, the thought of being smarter, thinner, healthier and more cheerful has a certain appeal. And those are just a few of the advantages that can be ours if we consistently get enough sleep, researchers say. Also on the plus side: We’re likely to have better skin, better memories, better judgment, and, oh, yes, longer lives.

“When you lose even one hour of sleep for any reason, it influences your performance the next day,” says Dr. Alon Avidan, director of the UCLA Sleep Disorders Center.

A study published last year found the same to be true even of children. When kids aged 8 to 12 slept for just one hour less for four nights, they didn’t function as well during the day.

But sleeping has an image problem. “We see napping or sleeping as lazy,” says Jennifer Vriend, a clinical psychologist in Ottawa, Canada, and the leading author of the study with children. “We put so much emphasis on diet, nutrition and exercise. Sleep is in the back seat.” In fact, she adds, no matter how much we work out, no matter how well we eat, we can’t be in top physical shape unless we also get plenty of sleep.

21. The underlined part in Paragraph 1 means _____.

22. From Paragraph 3 we can infer that _______.

A.being healthier is one of the advantages for us

B.enough sleep is the guarantee of the appealing things

C.sleeping has nothing to do with one’s expectations

D.spending more time on sleeping is a waste of time

23. What Jennifer Vriend said in the last paragraph implies that _______.

24. What is the purpose of the passage?

A.to talk about people’s sleeping problems.

B.to provide an investigation result of sleeping.

C.to stress the function of sleeping at night.

D.to arouse the awareness of enough sleeping.

  How did the sea horse get its name? It’s not hard to guess. The top half of this fish looks like a small horse. But looking at the sea horse’s tail, you might think “sea monkey” is a better mame. Then there’s the sea horse’s pouch. “Sea kangaroo” might also be a good name for this fish.

Sea horses live in warm ocean waters all over the world. They keep safe from other fish by hiding in plants and grasses that grow under the sea. They can also change colors to match their surroundings. A sea horse remains in one place for hours at a time by winding its tail around a plant. It feeds on live food, such as small shrimp. For a fish that doesn’t move around much, the sea horse eats a lot --- in just one day, a sea horse can eat 3000 shrimp!

A sea horse keeps the same mate for its whole life, and it’s the male sea horse that gives birth to baby sea horse. How does this happen? Baby sea horses start out as eggs, which come from the female’s body. The male carries the eggs in its pouch for about three weeks until they hatch. Soon after the babies are born, the female gives her mate a new set of eggs.

Sadly, the number of sea horses is becoming smaller. Why is this happening? Some places where sea horses once lived have been filled in to make new land. Also, many sea horses are caught and sold as aquarium fish. This really is not a good idea because most sea horses don’t live long in aquariums. The best place for a sea horse is the ocean.

28. The sea horse got its name because of its      .

A. head         B. tail        C. skin       D. pouch

29. How does a sea horse keep safe from other fish?

A. It rolls up.                     B. It runs away quickly

C. It remains still                  D. It hides in plants and grasses

30. What soes a female sea horse do with her eggs?

A. She hatches them.               B. She hides them in sea grasses

C. She puts them in the male’s pouch  D. She carries them around.

A. like to move around                  B. feed on small sea animals

C. live in cold ocean waters              D. change colors with the temperature

 Women________ a more and more important part in today's society —they hold up half the sky.   

A. are playing     B. have played    C. will play      D. played

No personal success, achievement, or goal, can be realized without self-discipline.  58．  It is the ability to control one’s impulses, emotions, desires and behavior. To possess it is to be able to make the decisions, take the actions, and carry out your plan regardless of the obstacles, discomfort, or difficulties, that may come your way.

How to develop self-discipline? We’ll explore it together.

· Start with baby steps. No process takes place overnight.   59．   So, begin by making the decision to go forward and learning what it takes to get there.

· Learn what motivates you and what your bad triggers are.   60．  Sometimes it is very difficult to fight off urges, so know the areas where your resistance is low and how to avoid those situations. Remove the temptations and surround yourself with encouraging items such as motivating slogans and pictures of what you want to achieve.

· Make certain behaviors a routine. Once you have decided what’s important to you and which goals to strive for , establish a daily routine that will help you achieve them.   61．   They can put you in a negative frame of mind and hinder(阻碍)your self-discipline. A poor attitude can also be a bad habit.

___62．___ Michael Jordan has always maintained that his greatness as a basketball player came as much from his willingness to work hard at his craft, as it did his talent.

When you arc paying upwards of £15,000 a year to have your child privately educated, the big surn of money for extra tuition(学费)may not sit well with you.But that is exactly what seems to be happening.An increasing number of parents look to "top-up" their child's already expensive education with a private tutor.

    According to managing director Nevil Chiles of Kensington&Chelsea Tutors, the agency's students tend to fall into two groups.There are those who are struggling with a particular subject and benefit from one-to-one tuition.The second group consists of students who are already excellent but whose parents want to ensure they go on to their preferred school or university.

    "We felt Mica needed help with exam technique and we also realized that she did much better one-to-one than in a classroom," explains Bowman, who contacted Kensington & Chelsea Tutors on the advice of a friend who used them for her sons, including one who was attending Eton."Mica has established a good relationship with her tutors and has gained confidence as a result of the tutoring." adds Bowman.

A new international study shows that some people's biological clock plays a powerful role for their life expectancy, regardless of lifestyle choices.

Published in the latest issue of Aging on Wednesday, the study has found the most definitive evidence to explain why some people keep healthy lifestyle but die younger than others.

Geneticist Steve Horvath from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), led a team of 65 scientists around the world to record age-related changes to human DNA, analyse blood samples collected from 13,000 people and estimate their lifespan.

A higher biological age, regardless of actual age, consistently predicts an earlier death, the study says.

"You get people who are vegan, sleep 10 hours a day, have a low-stress job, and still end up dying young," Horvath said in a statement. "We have shown some people have a faster innate aging rate."

The findings discovered that 5 percent of the population ages at a faster biological rate, which translated to a roughly 50 percent higher than average risk of death at any age.

"The great hope is that we find anti-aging interventions that would slow your innate aging rate," Horvath said, adding that "this is an important milestone to realizing this dream."

24. Some people keep healthy lifestyle but die younger than others because ______.

    A. their biological clock is not powerful enough

    B. the most definitive evidence has been found

    C. they have a higher actual age than others

    D. they ages at a relatively faster biological rate

25. How was the study conducted?

    A. By collecting and analyzing data

    B. By interviewing lots of people

    C. By researching previous studies

    D. By studying different lifestyles

26. According to the study, it can be inferred that ______.

    A. people who keep healthy lifestyle tend to live longer

    B. people’s lifespan can be predicted by their age

    C. 5 percent of people are believed to have a faster innate aging rate

    D. anti-aging interventions have proved to slow the innate aging rate

27. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

    A. We all should keep healthy lifestyle

B. Geneticist finds anti-aging interventions

C. Biological clock predicts life expectancy

D. Horvath builds an important milestone

College visits are important. Before you commit years of your life and money to a school, be sure you’re choosing a place that is a good match for your personality and interests. You can’t get the "feel" of a school from any guidebook, so be sure to visit the campus. Below are a few tips for getting the most out of your college visit.

Explore on Your Own

Of course you should take an official campus tour, but be sure to allow time to hang around on your own. The trained tour guides will show you a school’s selling points. But the oldest and prettiest buildings don’t give you the entire picture of a college. Try to walk the extra mile and get the complete picture of the campus.

Read the Bulletin Boards

When you visit the student center, academic buildings and residence halls, take a few minutes to read the bulletin boards. They provide an easy way to see what’s happening on campus. The ads for lectures, clubs and plays can tell you what’s going on outside the classrooms.

Eat in the Dining Hall

You can get a good feel for student life by eating in the dining hall. Try to sit with students if you can. Do the students seem happy or stressed? Also, is the food good? Are there rich healthy options? Many admission offices will give prospective students coupons(优惠券) for free meals in the dining hall.

Visit a Class in Your Major

If you know what you want to study, a class visit makes a lot of sense. You’ll get to observe other students in your field and see how involved they are in classroom discussion. Try to stay after class for a few minutes and chat with the students to get their impressions of their professors and major. Be sure to call in advance to schedule a classroom visit — most colleges don’t allow visitors to drop in on class unannounced.

Talk to Lots of Students

Your campus tour guide has been trained to market the school. Try to talk to students who aren’t getting paid to impress you. These important conversations can often provide you with information about college life that isn’t part of the admission script. Few university officials will tell you if their students spend all weekend drinking or studying, but a group of random students might.

For more tips, please go to collegeapps.about.com.

36. The best way to know about a college in an official campus tour is ________.

A. to walk around the campus alone

The government in China plans to end its one-child per family policy and instead let families have two children.

The plan was announced Thursday after high-level political meetings in Beijing. The official Xinhua news agency says the country’s top legislature must approve the proposal before it becomes law.

A Chinese Communist Party statement gave a number of reasons for the change in policy. The statement said the change is meant to balance population development. It said the move also attempts to stop a declining birth rate and strengthen the country’s work force.

China, the world's most populous country, launched the one-child policy in 1980. But the government permitted only a small number of couples to have two children. For example, some rural families were given approval to have two children. A total of 19 rural provinces have a partial two-child policy. That policy states if the first-born is a girl, a second child is permitted.

In 2013, the Chinese government gave other couples a chance to have two children. Families could have two if one parent was an only child.

A teacher and population expert, Jiang Quanbao, explained how Chinese families will react to the policy. “Too many young people in the cities are probably no longer interested in having a second child,”he said. “People in rural farming villages may be more interested. But again, some of them are already allowed to have two children.”

At the end of 2014, China had a population of 1.37 billion people. A total of 800 million of them are employed. But that job market population is expected to drop by 2050. With the two-child policy, an increase in births will ease the labor shortage, starting in 20 years.

25. Which of the following is NOT the reason for the two-child policy?

A. To ease the present labor shortage.

B. To balance population development.

C. To strengthen the country’s work force.

D. To stop a declining birth rate.

26. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. In the 1980s rural families could have two children if the first-born was a girl.

B. Due to the boom in population, by 2050 more young people will become unemployed.

C. Chinese government changes its population policy to greet the new situation in social development.

D. Few young people in the cities show much interest in the new policy because of financial pressure.

27. The writer writes this passage ________.

A. To educate.                     B. To inform.                      C. To advertise.             D. To analyze.

I had a wonderful doctor who 57  the time to help a scared little girl. This was twenty eight years ago, so wherever you are, Dr. Vincent, I want to thank you for not only  58  my life, but the  59  you were always giving me when I was living in  60  , and that has helped me live an normal productive life.

   He met her at the party. She was so outstanding, with many boys around her, while he was so normal, with nobody paying attention to him.

   At the end of the party, he invited her to have coffee with him. She was surprised, but due to being polite, she agreed.

They sat in a nice coffee shop. He was too nervous to say anything, and she felt uncomfortable, thinking, “Please let me go home.”

Suddenly he asked the waiter, “Would you please give me some salt? I'd like to put it in my coffee.”

Everybody stared at him——so strange! His face turned red, but, still, he put the salt in his coffee and drank it.

She asked him curiously, “Why do you have this hobby?”

He replied, “When I was a little boy, I was living near the sea. I liked playing in the sea, and I could feel the taste of the sea, just like the taste of the salty coffee. Now every time I have the salty coffee. I always think of my childhood. I miss my hometown so much. I miss my parents who are still living there.”

While saying that tears filled his eyes. She was deeply touched. That's his true feeling, from the bottom of his heart. A man who can tell out his homesickness must be a man who loves home, cares about home, and has a good sense of responsibility .

Then she also started to speak, about her faraway hometown, her childhood, her family. That was a really nice talk, also a beautiful beginning of their story.

They continued to date. She found that actually he was a man who meets all her demands: he was kind-hearted, warm and careful. He was such a good person but she almost missed him!

Thanks to his salty coffee! Then the story was just like every beautiful love story, the princess married the prince, then they were living a happy life…And, every time she made coffee for him, she put some salt in the coffee.

After 40 years, he passed away, leaving her a letter which said, “My dearest, please forgive my whole -life lie. This was the only lie I said to you—the salty coffee.

“Remember the first time we dated? I was so nervous at that time. Actually I wanted some sugar, but I said salt．It was hard for me to change so I just went ahead.”

“I tried to tell you the truth many times in my life, but I was too afraid to do that, as I have promised not to lie to you for anything.”

“Now I'm dying, I'm afraid of nothing so I tell you the truth：I don't like the salty coffee. What a strange bad taste! But I have had the salty coffee for my whole life!

“Since I knew you, I never feel sorry for anything I do for you. Having you with me is my biggest happiness for my whole life. If I can live for a second time, I still want to know you and have you for my whole life, even though I have to drink the salty coffee again.”

Her tears made the letter totally wet.

Someday, someone asked her, “What's the taste of salty coffee?” “It's sweet,” she replied.

56. After ordering some salt to put into the coffee, the young man must have felt  ______   ．

A. touched     B. satisfied    C. disappointed    D. embarrassed

When I was growing up my dad would often give me small tasks to finish to help out around the house. Some were easy but the three I remember the most were the three     21   of all. The first was helping to weed the four    22   we had. It was    23   work. I would rather ride my bike than crawl（爬行）in the dirt on my hands and knees    24   the thousands of weeds in our gardens. The second was piling firewood for    25   . It was tough work and I got more than my share of pieces. I would rather walk in the woods than piling it in rows.  The third was    26    water from a mountain spring to our house    27   our well water had too much iron in it to   28   .

Over the years, though, I learned to see the    29   in all the things my dad had made me do. Having fresh vegetables for dinner was a delight.    30    a cold glass of iced tea made from the mountain spring water was a pure    31   . Standing by the wood stove on a snowy December day was a wonderful way to    32   . I saw as well that all this work my dad had given me had    33    made me a better, stronger and more caring man. Most of all, I     34       that when I did my work with a(n)    35    heart, it didn’t feel like work at all.

Over the years I have learned something else too. When we do the work for our Heavenly Father with a    36    spirit, it doesn’t feel like work, either. It feels like that every act of     37      , word of encouragement, and gift of love we share will only make our lives   38       , make our hearts happier, and bring out souls closer to Heaven.

I am so    39   to both my dad and my Father in Heaven. They showed me the      40   of work and more importantly they showed me the pricelessness of love.
