_{Nearing the age of 101 has not slowed down one Japanese woman．In fact，in the swimming pool—she is only getting faster．
　　Recently，a 100-year-old Japanese woman became the world’s first centenarian to complete a 1，500-meter freestyle swimming competition in a 25-meter poo1．
　　Her name is Mieko Nagaoka．Ms．Nagaoka set a world record for her age group at a recent Japan Masters Swimming Association event in the western city of Matsuyama．She swam the race in 1hour，15 minutes and 54 seconds．
　　By comparison，the overall female world record holder completed the same distance in just under 15 and a half minutes．But that swimmer，Katie Ledecky，is only 17 years old．And Ms．Nagao．ka was not competing against her．In fact，Ms．Nagaoka was the only competitor in the 100-104 year old category．Her race was not a race of speed but of endurance，or not giving up．
　　Breaking swimming records is nothing new to Ms．Nagaoka．So far she has broken 25 records．But she began competing when she was much younger—at 88.
　　Ms．Nagaoka sufferred a knee injury in her 80s，so she began swimming to help her body recover．Since her first international swimming competition，she hasn’t looked back，except maybe to see if her competition is catching up．
　　In 2002．at a masters swim meet in New Zealand，Ms．Nagaoka took the bronze medal in the 50-meter backstroke．In 2004，she won three silver medals at an Italian swim meet.
　　Masters swimming is a special class of competitive swimming to promote health and friendship among participants．Swimmers compete within age groups of five years.
　　Japan has a large number of people who live beyond 100 years old．Until she passed away this month，the oldest person in the world was also from Japan．Misao Okawa was born in 1 898．She said her secrets for longevity，or long life，were good genes，regular sleep，sushi and exercise.
1．The underlined word“centenarian”refers to someone who is____．
　　A．from Japan
　　B．100 or older
　　C．an old competitor
　　D.a new swimmer

At 26, Jane Goodall had no college education or science training. But since childhood, she had been dreaming of working closely with animals in Africa. “All through my childhood people said you can't go to Africa. You're a girl.” Goodall says. “But my mother used to say, if you really want to, there's nothing you can’t do.”

      In 1957, the 26-year-old Goodall went to Kenya to work as a secretary. She also arranged to meet the famous scientist Louis Leakey, who was so impressed by her enthusiasm that he hired her as his assistant. She went with him on many trips to the African jungle and in 1960 Leakey sent Goodall to live among chimpanzees in a remote animal preserve, recording the animals’ behavior and interactions.

For three months Goodall made little progress. But she says, “I never came close to giving up.” Her breakthrough came one day when she saw a male chimpanzee stick a piece of grass into a termite (白蚁) hill, then put the grass in his mouth. Afterward she came to the hill and did the same. Pulling the grass out, she discovered dozens of termites on it. The discovery — that some animals use tools — was unknown to most scientists at the time.

Goodall saw chimpanzees exhibit human-like emotions, such as jealousy and love. But she also discovered they were capable of violent attacks against each other.

Goodall received her Ph.D. in the study of animal behavior at England's Cambridge University. Now she travels around the globe raising money to preserve wildlife. “I love being in the forest with the chimpanzees,” she says. “I’d much rather be there than traveling around from city to city.”

46. What was Goodall's childhood dream?

A. She dreamed of going to college.

B. She dreamed of studying animals in Africa.

C. She dreamed of becoming a famous scientist.

D. She dreamed of traveling all around the world.

47. What did Goodall’s mother think of her dream?

   A. As a girl she should not go to the African jungle.

   B. Her dream would remain a dream unless she got the right training.

   C. As a girl she should stay away from violent animals.

   D. She could make her dream come true if she was determined.

48. Goodall's most important discovery is that       .

A. some animals use tools

B. like humans animals have emotions

　 C. chimpanzees could attack each other violently

　 D. termites are chimpanzees’ favorite food

49. Goodall’s success is chiefly due to       .

A. her exceptional talents

　 B. scientific training

C. determination and patience

　 D. her enthusiasm and good luck

50. What is Goodall doing now?

A. Studying animal behavior at Cambridge University.

　 D. Working hard for a PhD degree.

I’m seventeen. I had worked as a box boy at a supermarket in Los Angeles. People came to the counter and you put things in their bags for them and carried things to their cars. It was hard work.

While working, you wear a plate with your name on it. I once met someone I knew years ago. I remembered his name and said, "Mr. Castle, how are you?" We talked about this and that. As he left, he said, "It was nice talking to you, Brett." I felt great, he remembered me. Then I looked down at my name plate. Oh, no. He didn’t remember me at all. He just read the name plate. I wish I had put "Irving" down on my name plate. If he’d have said, "Oh yes, Irving, how could I forget you?" I’d have been ready for him. There’s nothing personal here.

The manager and everyone else who were a step above the box boys often shouted orders. One of these was: you couldn’t accept tips. Okay, I’m outside and I put the bags in the car. For a lot of people, the natural reaction is to take a quarter and give it to me. I’d say, "I’m sorry, I can’t." They’d get angry. When you give someone a tip, you’re sort of being polite. You take a quarter and you put it in their hand and you expect them to say, "Oh, thanks a lot." When you say, "I’m sorry, I can’t." they feel a little put down. They say, "No one will know." And they put it in your pocket. You say, "I really can’t."

It gets to a point where you almost have to hurt a person physically to prevent him from tipping you. It was not in agreement with the store’s belief in being friendly. Accepting tips was a friendly thing and made the customer feel good. I just couldn’t understand the strangeness of some people’s ideas. One lady actually put it in my pocket, got in the car, and drove away. I would have had to throw the quarter at her or eaten it or something.

I had decided that one year was enough. Some people needed the job to stay alive and fed. I guess I had the means and could afford to hate it and give it up.

4. What can be the best title for this text?

A. The Art of Taking Tips

B. Why I Gave up My Job

C. How Hard Life Is for Box Boys

D. Getting along with Customers

5. From the second paragraph, we can infer that ________.

A. the writer didn’t like the impersonal part of his job

B. Mr. Castle mistook Irving for Brett

C. with a name plate, people can easily start talking

D. Irving was the writer’s real name

6. The box boy refused to accept tips because ________.

A. customers only gave small tips

B. he didn’t want to fight with the customers

C. the store didn’t allow the box boys to take tips

D. some customers had strange ideas about tipping

7. The underlined phrase "put down" in the third paragraph probably means ________.

A. misunderstood    B. defeated

C. hateful          D. hurt

Every day we go to school and listen to teachers, and the teacher will ask us some questions. Sometimes, the classmates will ask your opinions of the work of the class. When you are telling others in the class what you have found out about these topics, remember that they must be able to hear what you are saying. You are not taking part in a family conversation or having a chat with friends --- you are in a situation where a large group of people will remain silent, waiting to hear what you have to say. You must speak so that they can hear you loudly enough and clearly enough but without trying to shout or appearing to force yourself.

    Remember, too, that it is the same if you are called to an interview whether it is with a professor of your school or a government official who might meet you. The person you are seeing will try to put you at your ease in ordinary conversation but the situation is somewhat different from that of an ordinary conversation. You must take special care that you can be heard.

Is it necessary for freshmen to have a laptop when they go to university? Different people have different ideas.

Bringing up children is hard work, and you are often to blame for any bad behavior of your children. If so, Judith Rich Harris has good news for you. Parents, she argues, have no important long -term effects on the development of the personality of their children. Far more important are their playground friends and neighborhood. Ms. Harris takes to hitting the assumption, which has dominated(支配) developmental psychology for almost half a century.

Ms. Harris's attack on the developmental psychologists’ "nurture" argument looks likely to reinforce(加强） doubts that the profession was already having. If parents matter, why is it that two adopted children, brought up in the same home, are no more similar in personality than two adopted children brought up in separate homes? Or that a pair of identical twins, brought up in the same home, are no more alike than a pair of identical twins brought up in different homes?

Difficult as it is to track the clear effects of parental upbringing, it may be harder to measure the exact influence of the peer(同龄人) group in childhood and adolescence. Ms. Harris points to how children from immigrant homes soon learn not to speak at school in the way their parents speak. But acquiring a language is surely a skill, rather than a characteristic of the sort developmental psychologists hunt for. Certainly it is different from growing up tensely or relaxed, or from learning to be honest or hard -working or generous. Easy though it may be to prove that parents have little impact on those qualities, it will be hard to prove that peers have vastly more.

Moreover, mum and dad surely cannot be ignored completely. Young adults may, as Ms. Harris argues, be keen to appear like their peers. But even in those early years, parents have the power to open doors: they may choose the peers with whom their young associate, and pick that influential neighborhood. Moreover, most people suspect that they come to resemble their parents more in middle age. So the balance of influences is probably complicated. Even if it turns out that the genes they pass on and the friends their children play with matter as much as affection, discipline and good example, parents are not completely off the hook

28．According to Ms. Harris,______.

A．parents are to blame for any bad behavior of their children

B．children's personality is largely shaped by their friends and neighbors

C．nature rather than nurture has a significant effect on children' s personality development

D．parents will affect greatly the children's life in the long run

29．The developmental psychologists think    .

A. children are more influenced by their peers

B. identical twins raised in the same home are different in personality

C. twins raised in two separate families are different in personality

D. upbringing has a less significant effect on children’s personality development

30．According to Paragraph 3, we know that    .

A. it is easier for children to gain a language at home

B. it is harder to follow the effects of parental upbringing

C. immigrant children avoid speaking the same way as their parents at school

D. it is proved that peers have a greater effect on children’s qualities

31．What does the author mean by saying parents are not completely off the look at the end of the passage？

A. Parents should control the situation.

B. Parents should give their way to children.

C. Parents should spend more time on children.

D. Parents should take on their responsibility.

How can we all get more laughter into our lives? Here is what the experts suggest:

36. _________

Nancy Alguire, a teacher in Clifton Park, N.Y. was once painfully shy and she seldom laughed. Then she married a circus clown (小丑). “I became interested in the clowns,” she recalls,“ One day I put on a costume and paint my face. That afternoon my whole life changed. I learned to laugh and enjoy life in a way I had never done before.” 37. _________ To this day, she still makes it a rule to be with people who enjoy life and laughing. 

38. _________

It doesn’t take you too much time and can be easy. Collect favorite cartoons and jokes. Also, keep a paper for writing down humor you find in everyday life.“Good ideas come and go fast, you have to capture them quickly or they are gone,” says Virginia Tooper. 

Laugh when you need it most.

“39. _________” says comedian Bill Cosby.“And once you find laughter, no matter how painful your situation might be, you can survive it,” he insists. 

Gray Alan, a sociology professor at the University of Minnesota, claims that laughter is a skill we can all gain—because it comes naturally. 40. _________ Just remember: we are just here for a period, so get a few laughs. 

A. You can soften the worst blows through humor.

B. Mix with people who laugh.

C. Practise the art of laughing.

D. Keep a laughter file.

E. He who laughs last laughs best.

F. But it’s also something that has to be developed.

G. People’s joy can affect those around them.

When my brother and I were young, my mom would take us on Transportation Days.

It goes like this: You can’t take any means of transportation more than once. We would start from home, walking two blocks to the rail station. We’d take the train into the city center, then a bus, switching to the tram, then maybe a taxi. We always considered taking a horse carriage in the historic district, but we didn’t like the way the horses were treated, so we never did. At the end of the day, we took the subway to our closest station, where Mom’s friend was waiting to give us a ride home—our first car ride of the day.

The good thing about Transportation Days is not only that Mom taught us how to get around. She was born to be multimodal (多方式的). She understood that depending on cars only was a failure of imagination and, above all, a failure of confidence—the product of a childhood not spent exploring subway tunnels.

Once you learn the route map and step with certainty over the gap between the train and the platform, nothing is frightening anymore. New cities are just light-rail lines to be explored. And your personal car, if you have one, becomes just one more tool in the toolbox—and often an inadequate one, limiting both your mobility and your wallet.

On Transportation Days, we might stop for lunch on Chestnut Street or buy a new book or toy, but the transportation was the point. First, it was exciting enough to watch the world speed by from the train window. As I got older, my mom helped me unlock the mysteries that would otherwise have paralyzed my first attempts to do it myself: How do I know where to get off? How do I know how much it costs? How do I know when I need tickets, and where to get them? What track, what line, which direction, where’s the stop, and will I get wet when we go under the river?

I’m writing this right now on an airplane, a means we didn’t try on our Transportation Days and, we now know, the dirtiest and most polluting of them all. My flight routed me through Philadelphia. My multimodal mom met me for dinner in the airport. She took a train to meet me.

– Where are my new sneakers? Have you seen them?

-- How __________ I know? I’m your sister, not your servant.

A. shall       B. should       C. will       D. might

       — You couldn’t have chosen any gift better for me．

       —        

       A．Oh, it can’t be helped．                              B．That’s all right．

       C．I’m glad you like it so much．                            D．It’s nothing, isn’t it?

An interview with Benno Nigg, the sports scientist

76.

Nigg’s Answer: That is a little bit overstated. But the literature shows that shoes are a minor player in injury development. If you take a group of people and want to injure them, send them out every day for a 20-kilometre run. A lot of them will be injured in three weeks. The major factors are the distance run, the intensity and recovery time, not the shoes.

77.

Nigg’s Answer: The problem is that if you go to a store and want to find your best shoes, you don’t know what to do. Things that are sometimes done, like video analysis of your rear foot movement, may not help. The only way to assess whether a shoe is right for you is how it feels. If you feel comfortable in a shoe, it’s likely to be good for you.

78.

Nigg’s Answer: A shoe may act as a training device, making some muscles to function more effectively for a majority of users. Or it may use materials that last longer. That may have something to do with its price. However, for the average runner it is difficult to distinguish between actual functional designs and unnecessary features. Generally, the more a shoe controls movement, the more it acts like a cast, which means you lose some muscle strength, and your feet are more likely to be injured.

79.

Nigg’s Answer: Yes, for about 80 per cent of people. The major benefits are training the small muscles crossing the ankle joint, and a reduction of knee and lower back pain. However, some claims for these unstable shoes are overstated, such as the general muscle strengthening that they are claimed to produce.

80.

Nigg’s Answer: There are claims that there are fewer injuries when you run barefoot, but there is not yet enough evidence, or enough research, to prove that. If you look at performance, most papers suggest an advantage of 3 to 4 per cent. With a few exceptions, people don’t run barefoot, so it may be that it’s not an advantage, or it may be that we’re just not used to it.

      Love is Just A Thread

    Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents．Every day they are very busy trying to earn money in order to pay the   26  tuition fee for my brother and me．They don’t   27   in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV．My father has a bad temper，it’s easy for him to lose his temper．One day，my mother was sewing a quilt．I  28  sat down beside her and looked at her．

  “Is there any   29   between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice．

     My mother stopped her work and raised her head with   30   in her eyes．She didn’t answer immediately．Then she bowed her head and continued to sew the quilt．

  31    at last I heard my mother say the following words．

"Susan，”’She said   32   . “Look at this thread．Sometimes it appears，but most of it disappears in the quilt．The thread really makes the quilt strong and durable(耐用的)．If life is a 33  ，then love should be a thread．It can   34   be seen anywhere or anytime，but it’s really there．Love is   35   ．”

     I listened carefully but I couldn’t understand her until the next   36   ．At that time，my father suddenly got sick seriously．My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month． After they were   37   ，every day in the morning and dusk，my mother helped my father walk   38   on the country road．My father had never been so   39   ．Along the country road，there were many beautiful flowers，green grass and trees．The sun gently shone through the leaves．All of these   40   the most beautiful picture in the world．The doctor had said my father would   41   in two months．But after two months he still couldn’t walk alone．We were all worried．

    “Dad，how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day．

“Susan，”he said gently，“To tell you the truth，I just like   42   with your mom．

I like this kind of life．”   43   his eyes，I knew he loved my mother deeply．

     Once I thought love meant flowers，girls and sweet kisses．But from this    44   ，

I understand that love is just a     45     in the quilt of our life．

Love is inside，making life strong and warm．
