Starting from my early young age, I was a happy child. However, at age twelve, my life had a

huge  41    . I developed obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). I started to wash my hands ten times an hour to   42   bacteria and I frequently checked my kitchen oven to make sure that it was   43     . This way of life continued for four    44   years, and by then, my OCD had led to      45   . I was no longer the happy little girl I had been. I told my mother that I was suffering from depression. So Mum took me to a   46   . The medicine didn’t help me very much. I was still    47    sad, believing that my life no longer   48   .

   One autumn evening two years ago, I hit rock bottom. I  49    thought suicide was the only   50    to my depression problem, so I wrote a suicide   51     to my family. As I was folding the note, my    52   fell on a photograph. It was a picture of a lovely little girl with dark-blue eyes   53    of adventure and curiosity. It took me a few minutes to    54      that the smiling girl in the photo was me. The photo had been taken at one weekend at my uncle’s house when I was seven. Suddenly I felt a chill (惊悸）and it was like my younger  55   had sent me a message. Once I had been a   56      little girl, and I had to become strong like that again.

   I tore up my suicide note and swore that I would have to    57     the depression with my mind, too. I could make myself happy again. It has been two years    58     I “rediscovered” myself.

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

C. pomegranates D. Vitamin D

26．A person is very likely to catch some type of cancer if ______.

Considering the advances in robot technology during the upcoming years, Moravec says that robots must pass through four    28    of development before they rule the planet.

First robot technology must achieve the ability to    29    as general-purpose tools with software running at one million instructions per second (MIPS). Those robots will have the    30    of reptiles(爬行动物).Next, this happening into 2020, robots will have acquired brains capable of   31    300 million MIPS, which will give them the intelligence of smart mice. A hundred billion MIPS will be    32    sometime after 2030. By then robots will be provided by their    33    (humankind) with monkey-like brains.    34    , at the dawn of 2040, robots will    35    human intelligence and they will quickly surpass humans and challenge people for supremacy(至高无上) of the planet.

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), we 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.
