The prisoner had waited many months for help, but none had come. Now he felt he would do something to gain his freedom, to be free again to go about the world as he wished. But he could think of no way to run away.
He spent many hours thinking of his life before he was captured, regretting the mistakes he had made and dreaming of the joys he had known. And over and over he said to himself that he was being punished for no reason. He was guilty of no crime, but he had not been given a chance to explain the events which made him guilty.
Then one night the guard who sat outside the prisoner’s door fell asleep. When he noticed this, the prisoner was struck by a feeling of hope. Perhaps he could steal the keys while the guard was sleeping.
Silently the prisoner moved toward the guard. Very gently he lifted the ring of keys from the guard’s belt. Then he turned and crawled toward the door. Could he work the lock from the inside? The key turned and the door was opened. Within two minutes he had crossed the yard and climbed the wall. Then he ran across the field, free at last, a smile of joy beginning to spread across his face.

Matthew Henson—Arctic Explorer
In 1880，fourteen-year-old Matthew Henson loved to hear sailors tell tales of their exciting lives at sea．The travel，the adventure，the danger，and the steady pay were all attracting young Henson．One day，he found a job as a cabin boy on a beautiful ship called the Katie Hinds．For the next five years，Henson sailed around the world．With the help of the ship’s captain and other members of the crew，Henson learned mathematics，navigation，history，geography，and many other subjects．By the time he left the Katie Hinds in 1885，Henson was well educated and had become an excellent seaman．
Unable to find work anywhere else，Henson took a job in a hat shop in Washington，D．C．One day in 1887，a man came in to buy a hat．The man，Robert Peary，asked the owner if he knew anyone with experience at sea．Peary would soon travel to South America for the U．S．government．He needed experienced men to accompany him．The shop owner knew about his young employee’s skills and experience on ocean journeys，so he introduced Peary to Henson．
Using his map-reading and sailing skills，Henson proved himself to be a worthy and smart seaman．Peary soon made Henson his assistant，and they became close friends．One day Peary told Henson about his real dream：to be the first man to stand on“the top of the world”at the North Pole．He asked Henson to help him make his dream come true．Over the next five years，the two explorers made two trips together to the Arctic．However，they were not able to reach the pole either time．The cold，wind，and ice were worse than either of them had ever imagined．
In 1908，Peary and Henson were ready to make their final attempt at reaching the North Pole．Both men were over forty years old．The years of hardship in the arctic cold had made them suffer a lot．This would be their last chance．With four Inuit guides，they made a mad rush straight across the ice toward the pole．Peary’s feet were injured and he had to be pulled on a dogsled．In April 1909，Henson’s instruments showed they were standing at the North Pole．Together Henson and Peary planted the American flag in the snow．
In later years，Robert Peary and Henson were greatly honored for their achievements．Today，the two friends and fellow explorers lie in heroes’graves not far apart in the Arlington National Cemetery．

A. How inner beliefs can help
B. How to develop positive habits
C. Improve your life
D. You can do it
E. Action plan
F. Why are habits so important
The single most important factor that contributes to success is what you do every single day. It is as simple as that. Your habits will determine whether you are successful or not. If you have strong and healthy positive habits, it does not matter whether or not you fail today because you are guaranteed to succeed in the long run.
61. ________
Because you repeat the same actions and the same behaviors every single day, a single positive action will not change your life, but the same action repeated 1,000 times will have a significant impact on your life. For example, if you go to the gym one time, you won't see a big difference in your life. However, if you go to the gym 1,000 times over a five year period, you will see a big difference in your body. The same principle applies to finance, health, relationships, work, career, and school. Simple positive actions repeated every single day will have a great impact on your life in the long run.
62. ________
There's nothing easier than developing positive habits. You simply have to do every single day the action you want to make a habit. If you want to develop the habit of running, run almost every day. If you want to develop the habit of eating healthy, eat healthy every day. If you want to develop the habit of reading, read every day. Habits are created by repetition. The more you do an action, the easier it becomes in the long run.
63. ________
If you want to be successful in changing your habits, you should think about changing your inner beliefs about your habits. For example, your old belief was: "I love cigarette because it makes me feel good and relaxed. I need cigarette to be happy and relaxed." If you keep this belief, you won't be able to keep your resolution to stop smoking for very long. Instead, you should adopt this new belief: "I love yoga because it makes me feel good and relaxed. Cigarette is poisonous and destroys my body. Yoga makes me happy." You should analyze your beliefs and make sure they won't stop you from changing your habits. The same is true when you try to form positive habits. If you want to start eating healthy food, here are some positive beliefs you should start thinking about: "Healthy food is very good for my health. It gives me a lot of energy and I feel very good."
64. ________
It's now time for you to develop positive habits in your life and avoid your negative habits. Write down 3 positive habits that you would like to develop and 3 negative habits that you would like to get rid of. For each positive habit, write down exactly what actions you're going to take every single day in order to develop the new habit. For each negative habit, write down exactly what actions you're not going to take in the next weeks. Here are some positive habits that will lead to success: exercise, healthy food, reading, saving, studying, healthy relationships, hard work, etc... Here are some negative habits to get rid of: gambling, drug and alcohol abuse, overeating, shyness, etc.
65. ________
Everybody can change. All it takes is courage and commitment. Decide right now to improve your life by changing your habits. Take action right now! Don't be afraid. Yes, you will probably make mistakes along the way. But never forget that success is guaranteed for you if you have positive habits in your life. If you refuse to quit, success will be yours.

Want to help fight global warming? Take off your tie, says the Italian health ministry. It has urged employers to let their staff dress casually at work in the summer so that the air conditioning can be turned down.
“Taking your tie off immediately lowers the body temperature by 2 or 3 degrees centigrade,” the ministry said in a statement.“Allowing a more sensible use of air conditioning brings about electricity savings and protects the environment.”
It called on all public and private offices to let employees wear no tie during heat waves like the one that has brought Africa-like temperatures to many parts of Italy this week.
The move echoes（回应）a similar action from Italy’s biggest oil group, ENI, which told its staff earlier this month they need not wear a tie at work. The tie makers, however, were left hot under the collar.
“Italy confirms that it is a strange country,” Flavio Cima said angrily in a letter to financial daily IL SOLE 24 ORE under the headline: “I, tie maker, am responsible for global warming”
“We can now happily continue with our lifestyle, using cars, consuming fuel, heating and cooling our homes at leisure. On one condition: we should not wear a tie while we do so,” he wrote.
“I should have listened to my friends and become an oil producer instead.”
Italy is one of the European Union’s worst performers on the pollution front and is among the EU countries expected to exceed（超出）their greenhouse gas emission（排放）targets
28.What’s the purpose of the move of taking off ties?
A. To dress casually. B. To fight global warming.
C. To keep the body temperature. D. To improve working conditions.
29. Who first encouraged employees to take off ties?
A. ENI. B. Flavio Cima.
C. A financial daily. D. The Italian health ministry.
30. What does the underlined part “hot under the collar” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
A. Angry. B. Speechless. C. Delighted. D. Puzzled.
31. Which of the following is TRUE about Flavio Cima?
A. He stands by the oil group. B. He agrees with the ministry.
C. He admits his responsibility. D. He argues against taking off ties.
The thief glanced about now and then ______ he knew he was being followed.

Real policemen , both in Britain and the United States, hardly recognize any similarity between their lives and what they see on TV—if they ever get home in time. There are similarities ,of course ,but the cops (policemen) don’t think much of them.
The first difference is that a policeman’s real life revolves round（以……为中心）the law. Most of his training is in criminal law. He has to know exactly what actions are crimes and what evidence can be used to prove them in court. He has to know nearly as much law as a professional lawyer, and what is more, he has to apply it on his feet, in the dark and rain, running down an alley（小巷）after someone he wants to talk to.
Little of his time is spent in chatting to charming ladies or in dramatic confrontations（对抗）with desperate criminals. He will spend most of his working life typing millions of words on thousands of forms about hundreds of sad, unimportant people who are guilty —or not —of stupid crimes of little importance.
Most television crime drama is about finding the criminal：as soon as he’s arrested, the story is over. In real life, finding criminals is seldom much of a problem. Except in very serious cases like murders and terrorist attacks—where failure to produce results reflects on the standing of the police —little effort is spent on searching. The police have detailed machinery which eventually shows up most wanted men.
Having made an arrest, a detective really starts to work. He has to prove his case in court and to do that he often has to gather a lot of different evidence. Much of this has to be given by people who don’t want to get involved in a court case. So, as well as being overworked, a detective has to be out at all hours of the day and night interviewing his witnesses and persuading them, usually against their own best interests, to help him.
A third big difference between the drama detective and the real detective is that the real detective lives in an unpleasant moral twilight（暮色）. Detectives tend to have two opposing pressures：first, as members of a police force they always have to behave with absolute legality：secondly, as expensive public servants they have to get results. They can hardly ever do both. Most of the time, some of them have to break the rules in small ways.
If the detective has to deceive（欺骗）the world. The world often deceives him. Hardly anyone he meets tells him the truth. And this separation the detective feels between himself and the rest of the world is deepened by the simplemindedness — as he sees it —of citizens, social workers, doctors, law —makers, and judges, who, instead of putting a complete end to crime punish the criminals less strictly in the hope that this will make them reform. The result, detectives feel, is that nine —tenths of their work is re - catching people who should have stayed behind bars. This makes them rather cynical（愤世嫉俗的）.
1．It is essential for a policeman to be trained in criminal law .
A．so that he can catch criminals in the streets easily
B．because many of the criminals he has to catch are very dangerous
C．because he has to know nearly as much about law as a professional lawyer
D．so that he can give a good reason for his arrests in court
2．The everyday life of a policeman or detective is .
A．full of danger B．exciting and fantastic
C．devoted mostly to regular matters D．wasted on unimportant matters
3．When murders and terrorist attacks occur, the police .
A．try to make a quick arrest in order to keep up their reputation.
B．usually fail to produce results
C．prefer to wait for the criminal to give himself away
D．take a lot of effort to try to track down their men
4．Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A．There are similarities between drama detective and the real detective.
B．Most people don’t want to be the witnesses of the case.
C．American policemen’s real life is different from Britain policemen’s
D．In reality society does not punish criminals strictly enough.
Quietly, we embrace in a world _________（用语言照亮的）. (light)

Once upon a time, there was a man from the State of Chu who loved his sword very much. One day, he was sitting in a boat preparing 61 (cross) a river, when he accidentally 62 (drop) his sword into the water. The people on board reminded him that he should go into the water to find his beloved sword back. The man felt 63 (anxiety), too. 64 , he turned a deaf ear to that. And instead, he 65 (immediate) took out a knife and made a notch（刻痕） on the side of the boat 66 his dear sword fell. The people wondered why he did so. He said proudly the notch could help get his sword back. Shortly after the 67 (arrive) at the shore, he entered the water just beneath the notch he made. After rather a long time, he returned empty-handed. Without doubt, he was laughed at in public and his story became 68 well-known joke in China.
Today the idiom 69 (relate) to the story is used to describe a person who stick 70 strict rules without considering a changing environment.
Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t love others until you love yourself. Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either way, you’ve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that we’re the apple of our parents’ eyes, and that our Grandmas think we’re great talents and our Uncle Roberts think that we will go to the Olympics, but sometimes it’s a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time you build a positive self-image and learn to love yourself.
Self-image is your own mind’s picture of yourself. This image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about us. Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be. Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world.
The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. Don’t allow doubts to occur in it.
It might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can’t move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task. If you think you’re silly because you aren’t good at math, find a tutor. If you think you’re weak because you can't run a mile, get to the track and practice. If you think you’re dull because you don’t wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes. But remember, just because you think it doesn’t mean it’s true.
The best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your image is far from objective, and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. Changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. When you can pat yourself on the back, you’ll know you’re well on your way. Good luck!

HANGZHOU, China — Millions of Chinese basketball fans who were upset about the retirement of Yao Ming, are excited to see another even more shining star, Jeremy Lin, rising from the N.B.A and becoming a household name all across China.
“We are amazed by Lin Shuhao’s magic performance and should cheer him on,” one Internet user wrote.
“His sport shirts have sold out, even including the counterfeit(仿制品) ones,” said Zheng Xiaojun, a 24-year-old clerk.
Lin’s amazing success over the last month has caught the imagination of the Chinese. He has been particularly popular here in northern Zhejiang province, from which his grandmother went to Taiwan in the late 1940s.
Cai Qi, a well-known micro blogger, posted a message on micro blog over the weekend stating that Lin’s hometown is Jiaxing, a city near Hangzhou where Lin’s grandmother grew up.
Cai Qi’s nephew Yu Guohua, a 56-year-old factory worker, is Lin’s closest relative still living in northern Zhejiang. He said in a telephone interview that Lin had come to play basketball with the Jiaxing High School team last May and had been surrounded by admirers.
Yu said he did not have a chance to meet Lin in the crowd, but managed to speak with his family. “His father was very supportive of Lin’s playing basketball, but his grandmother was not, for fear he would be injured,” Yu said.
Lin may owe his height, 6 feet 3 inches, to his grandmother’s family, Yu said. Chen Weiji, the father of Lin’s grandmother, was well over 6 feet and all of Chen’s children were tall as well, he said.
The N.B.A. believes that 300 million people in China play basketball. The retirement last year of Yao Ming took its main Asian draw away from the N.B.A. But Lin’s appearance has helped the league remain a hot topic of Chinese online chatter.
67.Why does Lin Shuhao appeal especially to people in northern Zhejiang ?
A. He was born in Zhejiang.
B. His sports shirts are made in Zhejiang.
C. He once visited Zhejiang.
D. His grandmother grew up in Zhejiang.
68. We can learn from the text that ________.
A. Lin once played on Jiaxing High School team
B. All Lin’s relatives moved to Taiwan 60 years ago
C. Lin’s grandmother didn’t expect him to be a player
D. Lin’s father loved playing basketball
69. Lin’s success in N.B.A has ________.
A. attracted more Chinese children to play basketball as a career
B. drawn Chinese people’s attention back to the league
C. helped his hometown develop sports shirts business
D. helped his hometown attract more foreign visitors
70. Which is the best title of the report?
