We all often deal with people who complain about the failures and troubles of their daily lives. Life   41   to be full of problems for them. I would like to think such a life   42    unusual. If there were no problems in your job, then your   43   would hire a much less capable person than you to do the things that don’t   44   much thought. In the business world, those who are able to solve difficult problems are the ones who are the most   45   to the employer.

Many times the problems or challenges we face   46   us to grow and become more capable. The runner who   47   for the mile run in the Olympics by running downhill will have no chance of winning the medal   48  . The runner who trains by running uphill is far more likely to   49   the speed and endurance(忍耐力) needed to win the medal.

The   50   thing that ever happened to boxer Gene Tunney was that he   51   both hands in the ring. But at that time his manager felt that he could   52   again punch(重击) hard enough to be the heavyweight champion. Instead, Tunney   53   that he would become a scientific boxer and win the title as a boxer, not a slugger(重击者). Boxing historians will tell you that he developed into one of the best boxers who ever fought. They   54   will tell you that as a puncher, he would not have had a chance   55   Jack Dempsey, who was considered by many to be the hardest   56    in heavyweight history. Tunney would never have been champion   57   he had not had the problem of his broken hands.

The   58   time you meet with a difficult climb, obstacle or problem, you should 59   and say, “Here’s my chance to __60__.”

Are you addicted to computer games? Do you stay up all night playing them? Do you feel happy after you play computer games?

There’s no doubt that the excitement and appealing of games these days makes them hard to put down. We are attracted by the choice when it comes to gaming: You can role play--creating your own fantasy characters and stories, giving you a chance to step out of everyday life into an imaginary world. And there are shooting games where you can let out your anger and depression in violent situations where you kill people with guns. You can get excited from the games.

However, can these kinds of games really be fun and can being absorbed in virtual reality be good for us? Should we worry about their effects on our health? Popular games like Grand Theft Auto have been blamed for everything from falling results at school to causing acts of extreme violence. Internet safety adviser, Alan MacKenzie, thinks “any people understandably will just think that a game is just a game and not realizing the exact content that’s in there”. He gives an example of the violence, which he says is “wholly inappropriate for anybody, not to mention children.”

Others will argue that gaming is a harmless form of entertainment. There is evidence that playing video games could actually be good for us. Some games like Game of Thrones and World of Warcraft are educational and using games certainly can help children learn good qualities. Studies have also shown that the skills used in playing games can cause growth in certain areas of the brain, the ability to think in 3D and even improve our eyesight.

Video game players are also no longer just simple creatures. For some, gaming is having a positive effect on their social lives with games like Halo and World of Warcraft often being played in groups. When your group works together to win the game, your sense of achievement is higher than when winning by yourself.

So every coin has two sides. It seems today, gaming isn’t just for game fans and if used in a proper way, we can all take part. If video games have two sides, what side do you stand by? 

28.The writer used a lot of questions at the beginning to _______.

A. show his worries about the effect on health

B. lead into the topic of the passage

C. ask the reader for their own opinions about games

D. doubt the advantage of playing computer games

29.Paragraph 3 mainly talks about _______.

A. the contents of the game are complex

B. games contain extreme violence

C. popular games lead to students’ falling results at school

D. gaming is a harmful form of entertainment

30.According to the passage, which of the following shows the good influence on social lives?

A. Han Meimei passed the exam after playing the games.

B. Li Hua leant many English words from playing games.

C. Sunyan worked well with his teammates.

D. Yang Li let out his anger and expressions.

31.In Paragraph 4, the author supports his idea _______. 

A. by giving some examples                B. with descriptive words  

C. by providing some numbers              D. with some research results

    Robot teachers are now very popular with pupils in some primary schools in South Korea. Compared with human teachers, the robot teachers are   61  (patient) . They never get angry and are always kind to the students. That's   62   the children can always get on well with their robot teachers.

    English-teaching robots   63  (send) to three primary schools for eight weeks last December.   64  (equip) with a microphone and video camera, the robots teach students as teachers. Researchers found that the English-teaching robots helped raise students’ interests in the language and build up their  65  (confident). More and more students came to like studying and they got better grades in exams. Meanwhile,  other robot teachers,   66  can teach math, science and art, have also been developed.

  Many people think these robot teachers should be used   67  faraway village schools so that the children there can also receive a good education.  68   (give) rural school children more learning chances, the South Korean government has expressed great interest in  69   (develop) these robots. No doubt there will be more and more robot teachers working with students. Perhaps they will   70  (complete) replace human teachers one day in the future. Who knows?

I'd like to talking about my most memorable experience. It was a trip to Australia I had three years before with my dance group to participate in international dance festival. It was the first time I had travelled by plane in my life. My mum worried a lot, so everything went smoothly. I stayed there for two week and it was the happiest time in my life. Besides our performances there, we have much excitement. We spent on almost every morning sunbathing on the beautiful beach and swam in the blue sea. But warmly Australian nights were which I adored most of all. It was a time of joy，light，music and summer parties.

   Freshmen anywhere may be nervous about university life．Here, three pieces of advice are for them.

Listen but don't be silent

   The world is held in students’ hand via smart phones. Thus, they may consider lecture listening less important. 36  It forces students to face the difficulties of training a deep attentiveness．Unsurprisingly, students find it hard to speak out, ask questions or for points of clarification. They don't want to appear foolish or incapable. However, there is no such thing as a foolish question. Teachers are there to help you understand. This also goes for seminars and workshops. 37

Read and buy books

    38  There're so many useful online sources today, but the habit of reading books, especially whole books, is something being lost. Buy your own books．There are many bargains to be found on used-book websites or through Amazon. Being a book lover and buyer will help any student get the most out of their education.

    39

    As a student, you don't just have to learn to listen and become an active reader: you also have to become an academic writer. Written work at college level cannot be done at the last minute or in a rush. It takes time. Turn to your teachers. If they will read draft essays then make sure you can get feedback（反馈）ahead of the final submission. 40

Students who get feedback on their work always do better than those who do not. It is one of the few educational laws that holds true in all cases.

A. Don't try to do it all the night before.

B. However, a lecture is a listening workout.

C. Thinking clearly cannot be done in a rush.

D. So train your ear, listen carefully, but don't be silent.

E. Reading is the most important thing that any student does.

F. Re-writing has proved to be the turning point in one's degree.

G. If they won't read drafts, then see them to run through your ideas．

 Children who have problems connecting letters with sounds or understanding what they read may be showing 　　　 of learning disabilities. 

A. signs               B. examples       C. symptom                            D. marks

ID systems are used as a means for people to prove their identity, as a means of access control, or for many other situations. ID cards also contain a lot more information than simply the name of the holder. All ID cards contain information that is relevant to the institution that released them, so there is no single model that applies to all ID cards.

Different institutions have different rules when it comes to ID cards, and ID cards used by students, in universities, will not have the same security features as those used in the military, for example. The more important the institution is, the more important the security is, and the more security features will be used to prevent duplication(复制) of an ID card.

Anyone with a printer that can print ID cards can duplicate in ID card, if it does not have any security measures. There have been lots of cases, especially in low security institutions, where ID cards have been duplicated and this was not noticed, since the person holding the card usually flashed it when it was requested, and that was not enough to notice that it is a fake.

That may not be extremely important when it is simply a case of a student trying to enter the campus of another university, but it can be of vital importance if it happens in a military institution. Checks in military institutions are much stricter and the personnel checking the card are always trained to spot fakes in a short amount of time.

Some may think that creating an ID card is extremely difficult, but it is not. All it takes is a special printer that can print ID cards, a model and a photo ID. The fact that such printers can be freely ordered online has raised security issues with lots of companies and institutions, and most have decided to either create their own ID cards, or simply use more advanced security features that regular home-users do not have access to. This includes magnetic stripes(磁条), chips, barcodes(条形码),and other methods. This does increase the cost of the card per person, so the total cost of the cards increases based on the number of employees the company has, but it also reduces security risks to a minimum.

So ID systems, as basic as they seem, are an excellent security measure for any institution. To ensure that the IDs look good and function properly, the company that handles the card printing services should be top-class. Trying to save some money by choosing a cheaper provider is not really wise. While some companies offer bonuses for large orders, if the quality provided is not of the highest standard, it is not worth it.

I live in a big city with a lot of homeless people. Luckily there're small ways of helping them and you needn't have a lot of  21  . One way to help is to buy their monthly magazine.  22  doing this one day, I got to  23  a young homeless man. He was often  24  the magazine at the train station.

I met him on my own birthday as I was going shopping. I had  37  to meet him so I had  38  the scarf and a piece of my own birthday  39  around with me. He was very happy with these gifts and so was I. the  40  in his eyes was the best present he could have given me!

   Several decades of years ago, I ran a service station and roadhouse on the main road between Melbourne and Adelaide. One very cold, wet night at about 3∶30 a.m., there was a 　41　 on the front door of our house. A young man, wet from 　42　 to toe, explained that he had 　43　 out of petrol about 30 km up the road. He had left his pregnant(怀孕的)wife and his two children 　44　 at the car and said that he would hitchhike(搭便车)back.

　　In his letter, he thanked me again and 　59　 me that, from then on, all their buses would stop at my service station. In this  　60　 , a little bit of kindness was rewarded with a huge amount of benefits.

I couldn’t believe my ears when I heard my name calling. I was chosen to play the leading role in the play，that was my dream. As a shy and thin girl，I used to be quite afraid of speaking in the public. But my parents and teachers always encourage me to do so. Now I have changed great. In class，I am often the first one to stand up and answer questions even if I may take some mistakes. No pains，no gains. Now I am always brave enough overcome the difficulty in my heart and have changed in a lively girl. So my experience shows that we should not be afraid of losing face but only in this way can we make progresses.

   In our daily life, we have rarely expressed our gratitude to the ones who’d lived those years with us. In fact, we don’t have to wait for   36   to thank the ones closest to us---the ones so easily  37  . If I have learned anything about giving thanks, it is this: Give it now!  38  your feeling of appreciation is alive and sincere, act on it. Saying thanks is such an easy way to  39   to the world's happiness. Saying thanks not only  40  someone else's world, it brightens yours. If you're feeling left  41  , unloved or unappreciated, try reaching out to others. It may be just the ___42  you need.

       Of course, there are times when you can't express gratitude  43  ．In that case don't let embarrassment sink you into silence —speak up the first time you have the chance．

       Once a young minister. Mark Brian, was sent to a   44    town of Kwakiutl Indians in British Columbia. The Indians, he had been told, did not have a  45  for thank you. But Brian soon found that these people had  __46 generosity. Instead of saying thanks, it is their custom to  47  every favor with a favor of their own, and every kindness with an equal or superior  48  . They do their thanks．

       I wonder if we had no words in our  49  for thank you, would we do a better job of  50  our gratitude? Would we be more responsive, more sensitive, more caring?

       Thankfulness sets in motion a chain reaction that  51  people all around us—including ourselves. For no one ever  52  the melody of a grateful heart. Its message is  53  ; its words go  54  all earthly barriers; its music ___55  the Heavens.

        CANYOUIMAGINEHOWHARDITWOULDBETOREADSENTENCESLIKETHIS? Every one of us gets so used to punctuation marks that not many of us give them a second thought. Actually, the ancient Greeks wrote this way. The lack of punctuation marks probably didn’t bother good readers, though. As they read, they just put pauses where they fit best. Also at this time, sentences switched directions. A sentence read from left to right. The next one read right to left, and then left to right again, etc. The ancient Romans sometimes punctuated like this: They • put • something • that • can • separate • words • in • a • sentence. The word punctuation actually comes from this idea and the Latin word punctum, which means a dot.

When the 5^th century arrived, there were just two punctuation marks: spaces and points. The spaces separated words while the points showed pauses in reading. Then in the 13^th century, a printer named Aldus Manutius tried to standardize punctuation. He always used a period for a complete stop at the end of a sentence. He used a slash (/) to indicate a short pause. Over time, that slash was shortened and curled, and it became the modern comma (逗号).

Since that time, other marks have enlarged the punctuation family. The exclamation mark (感叹号) comes from the Latin word io. It means “exclamation of joy.” The question mark originally started out as the Latin word questio, meaning question. Eventually, scholars put it at the end of a sentence to show a question.

Punctuation even keeps changing nowadays. New marks are coming into existence, and old punctuation marks are used in new ways. Take for example the “interrobang”. This 1962 invention combines the question mark and exclamation mark for times when writers want both. For example, “She did what?” or “How much did you pay for that dress?” Obviously, the interrobang is not widely used or recognized yet, but its invention shows that English is not yet finished with its punctuation.
