When I moved into an empty dormitory for the first time two years ago, I was certain of a few things. Firstly, I realized that I didn’t 41 anybody at the school. Secondly, I knew that I wanted to work hard at my lessons and 42 something useful. And thirdly, I wanted to have a good time with new classmates, without my parents around.
The first 43 frightened me in the beginning. But that 44 quickly disappeared. It was the other two goals 45 ended up being my difficulties.
I knew that it was 46 to devote enough time to class and to social efforts. But I wanted to 47 in both. I knew this would be a 48 , but I didn’t realize how much until classes began.
I got on well with the other girls who lived in my dorm. 49 , instead of finishing my homework 50 it was due, I went upstairs and had ice cream with my neighbor. I always finished it the next day between classes.
I knew 51 wasn’t very good and the grade I 52 showed my lack of effort. I was 53 that I needed to find some sort of balance.
So I created a schedule that would 54 my time up between going to class, doing homework, and relaxing. It seemed like a good idea, 55 I was only able to 56 it for a few days. A schedule like that was too much pressure.
So I tried another 57. Each week I made a list of everything I had to get done during that week. Then, under the list of things I had to get done, I 58 a list of things I could do if I had time.
This is the method I have used since then. I’m glad that I’ve learned to 59 things and it has 60 prepare me for what is to come after graduation.

It is not easy to find true friends.Even if you’ve connected with someone,how do you really know he is a true friend?And often you will find that someone who you thought you could trust may have let you down.There are ways you can know if a friendship is true and how you can hold onto that friend.
Generally speaking,a true friend is someone who will be there for you no matter what happens.They will stand by you through bad and good times.They will accept you for who you are without trying to change you,and they will be there to help you grow in new ways.
A true friend will keep you secrets for you trust him.They will be honest and be someone you can depend on.They will listen and be someone you can talk things over with,even if they may not have advice to share with you.
However,friendship is a two-way street.To find true friends and keep them,you must in turn be the same as well.Be there for them in their hard times and share the good times with them.Be someone your friends can depend on as well and offer them the same thing they give to you.A friendship will fall apart fast if only one person is giving and putting all the effort.If you are the only one making an effort,be honest and it works.
Actually,there will be barriers in the road but that is the test of true friendship.If it can survive those barriers,it will be stronger and better than ever.Just as St Thomas Aquinas put it,“There is nothing on this earth more prized than friendship.”

It’s reported that a male waiter recently poured boiling water over a female customer at a hot pot restaurant after the woman was caught complaining about the waiter’s bad service online. 36
The female victim,surnamed Lin,reportedly got into an argument with the waiter,surnamed Zhu,when Zhu refused her repeated request for additional soup for her pot.Lin was rushed to hospital and was diagnosed with severe bums on up to 40%of her body. 37
Many netizens criticized the waiter for being too impulsive and ignoring the possible consequences,but some also accused Lin of being too picky.Meanwhile,some came up with a question worthy of discussion: 38
Many tragedies are caused by arguments and if the victim can control his or her anger and try to reach a compmmise,the tragedies could possibly be avoided.Sometimes so-called“cowardliness”can be a form of self-protection,especially when you are faced with strangers and you know little about their personalities.
39 When they calm down afterwards,they would regret their“ridiculous”behavior and have to pay the price for the consequences·

The first time I went for a walk around my father-in-law’s neighbourhood in America was garbage day, and I was shocked to see what people were throwing out.
It was back in 1981,and I saw many people gathered in someone’s front yard. As I went nearer to see what was happening I got my first introduction to yard sales. For the few dollars I had in my wallet, I was able to buy a seven-inch black-and-white portable TV.I also bought a flashlight.
The following weekend, at another yard sale, I saw a 14-inch colour TV being sold for almost nothing. I felt I could not miss the offer and bought it. Now I had two sets and couldn’t wait to see what else I could afford the next weekend.
Spring ended, and by then I had accumulated almost every type of electronic equipment I had always wished to have back home.
Then this new idea came to mind. I had heard about a man who travelled back home every few months. He drove a truck filled with boxes of new and used stuff that people were sending to relatives. So I told my father that I would send as many types of items as I could so that he could start his resale business.
Every few months I would gather several boxes of American “junk” televisions, toasters, fans, hair dryers, etc. and sent them home. As word got out about my father’s “trash” market, people all came to buy these things.
Three years later, when I visited my family for the first time since leaving home, I learned that many of the families in our neighborhood had a piece of “trash”. It proved that I had the responsibility to keep people back home in Guatemala up to date with the latest technology you no longer need.

Below is some adviee on how to prevent cancer.
Eat Blueberries
Aside from being a healthy and delicious snack, blueberries contain pterostilbene, which has important colon cancer-fighting prosperities. But wait, it gets better. Blueberries also offer a large dose of vitamins C (14 milligrams per cup). So at breakfast, try to take in a cup and a half of blueberries in your cereal or yogurt, or mixed with other berries.
Drink Pomegranate(石榴)Juice
The deep red juice of the pomegranate contains various chemicals, which together create a powerful anticancer mixture. Most recently, researchers from the University of Wisconsin at Madison has discovered that 16 ounces of pomegranate juice per day also may inhibit(阻碍) the growth of lung cancer.
Relax
Feeling stressed or worried? Find ways to relax and you may reduce your chances of developing cancer. Purdue University researchers tracked 1,600 men over 12 years and found that half of those with high levels of worry died during the study period. Only 20 percent of the optimists died before the study were completed, while 34 percent of the extremely anxious men died of some type of cancer. Instead of stressing about the past or future, focus on the present and relax!
Take Selenium(硒)
Selenium is well known for its cancer-fighting properties. In a study of almost 1,000 men, researchers from the Journal of the National Cancer Institute found that when men with the lowest initial levels of selenium in their bodies received a daily supplement over a 4-year period, they cut their prostate(前列腺)cancer risk by a remarkable 92 percent. However, it is possible to get too much of a good thing, so monitor your intake of selenium-containing supplements, Brazil nuts, tuna, meats and grains carefully.
Break a Sweat
Even a small amount of exercise can offer major cancer-fighting benefits. In a study of 29,110 men published in the International Journal of Cancer, men who exercised just once a week had a percent lower risk of prostate cancer than men who didn’t work out at all. The better the frequency, duration and intensity of the exercise, the bigger the reduction in risk, according to the study.
25.To prevent yourself from catching colon cancer, you should eat ____ as often as possible.
A. selenium B. blueberries

Earlier this week, I wrapped up(圆满完成) a 5-day trip in San Francisco. I woke up a few hours before sunrise, drove through the darkness and out of the city, hiked for 30 minutes to the top of a hill overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge, and snapped(拍摄)this photo. As I stood there soaking in the early morning light, I was reminded of an important lesson.
When I arrived in San Francisco, I told myself, “Just take photos as you do other things.” My primary goal was to meet with friends and so I figured I could take pictures as we walked around the city. This resulted in exactly zero photos worth sharing. I had vague ideas like, “I’d like to do some street photography,” but I never went out with the intent of photographing something specific. Finally, on the last morning, I went out with the intent of capturing a specific picture and I ended up with something worth sharing. My mistake was that I assumed that because I wanted to take photos, I would end up getting a desirable result.
How often do you do this in your own life? We go to the gym to “work out” without trying to become better at something specific. We wish that we were more creative, but never work on a particular project. When you commit to a task, however, then the next step is obvious. You want to take a picture of the Golden Gate Bridge at sunrise? Next step: find a good spot. You’ve found a good spot? Next step: wake up early and drive there.
This is perhaps the most shocking thing: if box yourself in, then you’ll begin to break out and achieve something greater than you ever imagined.
32.What’s the author’s original purpose of the trip?
A. To visit friends. B. To attend lessons.
C. To take pictures. D. To enjoy sunrise.
33.What lesson did the author learn?
A. Get ready for challenges. B. Stick to your own decision.
C. A given task leads to achievement. D. Hard work pays off.
34.What are you advised to do first when you want to get stronger physically?
A. Make a detailed outline. B. Choose a certain muscle group.
C. Discuss the ways with coaches. D. Go to work out immediately.
35.What’s the function of the last paragraph?
A. To introduce a new topic.
B. To ask readers to reflect on something.
C. To make a suggestion.
D. To draw a conclusion.
请阅读下面短文,并按要求以Our Life Rests on Our Choice为题,用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。
Life is a matter of choice. Seemingly, it means a choice of concrete (具体的) things. But in fact, it means choosing a way of life. Life is to be lived and enjoyed, not to be wasted or complained about.
Hardly can we forget the time when our society faced the threat from the life-and death disease --- SARS. Yet, even during those dreadful times, some suffering people remained optimistic. Instead of wearing white masks, some people turned to colorful ones, and thus displayed a happy mood. And some creative people dubbed SARS to mean “SMILE AND REMAIN SMILING.” People who survive these kinds of circumstances decide in their minds to carry on in spite of the hardships.
Although we cannot choose our appearance, inborn gifts and even avoid unexpected disasters and adversities (逆境), w
e do have the right to choose to live optimistically, to love our lives, to have dreams, and to cherish hopes.
Every morning when we get up, we have a choice of how we want to approach life that day.

In order to help customers find what they want quickly,it’s important to keep the thousands of titles in the Main Street Movies store organized properly.This section of the Employee Handbook will tell you how to organize videos.
Each Main street Movies store has three main sections:
1.New Releases Wall.
2.Film library.
3.Video Games.
New Releases Wall.Almost 70 percent of movie rentals are new releases,and that is the first place where most customers go when they enter the store.The center section of shelves on this wall holds Hottest Hits.When new titles come into the store,place them on this wall in alphabetical order.The shelves beside Hottest Hits are called Recent Releases.The New Releases Wall,including the Hottest Hits and Recent Releases shelves,holds about 350 titles.
Film Library.The thousands of titles in the Film Library are organized into categories.The films within each category are displayed alphabetically.Here are the categories and their two-letter computer codes:

Foreign Language titles include films that were originally made in a foreign language and films with foreign language subtitles.A sticker on the back of each box tells which type of film it is.
Video Game.All the video games in Main street Movies are arranged in alphabetical order.Although video games represent only a small percentage of our inventory(库存),they are stolen more often than any other type of goods in our store.Therefore,video games are never displayed on the shelves.Shelves in the Video Game section hold cardboard with pictures and information about each game.When a customer wants to rent a particular game,you then find the game from the locked case behind the counter.
1.Whom do you think this passage is most probably addressed to?
A.The readers in the store.
