Things happen for a reason. Sometimes it’s your fault. Other times, it’s mine. But more often than not, the real reason is no reason at all. In my memory, my mother36seemed to be able to say the magic37,"I’m sorry."She felt them, I’m certain, but just didn’t say them.

"I’ll call it,"he said. Then he48."Oh, wait. I’ve got it. Guess I, uh, picked it up49this morning."
For a moment, I50about killing him in his sleep. But he was sorry, sort of. So I forgave him. It wasn’t his fault. And it wasn’t m ine.
I told you all that to say this: Life is51. We waste precious time blaming others for things that are no one’s fault, when we long to forgive and be forgiven.
If you need to say you’re sorry, say it52. If you need to forgive, do it now. Don’t beat yourself up over things that can’t be53. Let go of old hurts. Don’t let them keep hurting you. As the ancient poet Rumi put it,"The54is the place where the Light enters you."

57．考查推理判断。

本文主要介绍了Shanghai Super Star为顾客提供的各种服务项目,由此可推知作者引用两位顾客的评论是为了表明公司在顾客中享有很好的声誉。

Researchers at Stanford University have developed a new material that can move heat out of buildings and into space. The researchers say the material can cool buildings even on hot days. The cooling material is a very thin sheet with many layers that could be placed on a roof like solar panels. However, instead of turning sunlight into energy as solar panels do, the material turns heat into infrared(红外线的) radiation.
Shanhui Fan is an electrical engineering professor at Stanford University. He says that the panels have a layer of material that is like sand. He says that the panels act like a mirror. They take heat out of buildings and reflect the light from the sun. He says both the heat and sunlight are sent 100 kilometers into outer space.
"It’s a structure that cools itself without electricity input, even under the sun. So, what it does is to basically radiate heat to outer space and also reflect the sunlight so it doesn’t get heated up by the sun. And the net result is you get something that if you put on the roof will have a temperature below ambient (周围的) air temperature by a significant amount."
The panels are cool to the touch, even in the sun. Researchers say they can reduce the indoor temperature to nearly 5 degrees Celsius below the temperature outside.
Mr. Fan says it is like having a window into space. He says the heat is sent directly into space without increasing the air temperature. He says buildings in developing countries that do not have electricity or air conditioning could use the panels."In areas where electricity isn’t always available, there is a significant potential benefit for storing medicine or even food. In many of these situations, being able to reduce the temperature is important. And this would provide a way to do it."
The researchers say the main problem is creating actual cooling systems using the high-tech panels. They say it may be possible to develop a cooling spray that could be used on existing solid structures and they believe the cooling spray technology could be developed in the next three to five years. They say as much as 15 percent of the energy used in the United States is spent providing power for air conditioning systems.
58．Which of the following can best describe the advantage of the new device?
A.Eco-friendly and energy-saving.
B.Convenient but difficult to operate.
C.Cheap but effective.
D.Green and affordable.
59．The panels may be significantly beneficial.
A.in areas where solar energy is unavailable
B.in areas where there are frequent power failures
C.in cold areas where there is no air conditioning
D.in buildings with air conditioning in developing countries
60．According to the researchers,.
A.the cooling material can prevent sunlight entering the building
B.sending heat into outer space won’t raise indoor temperature
C.the panels can adjust indoor temperature accordingly
D.the United States is eager to adopt the new technology
【答案】
58．A
59．B
60．B
【解析】

根据倒数第二段中的"He says the heat is sent directly into space without increasing the air temperature"可知答案。

Ten years ago, Dalla-Camina worked 16 to 18 hours a day and"literally lived on a plane". A senior executive at IBM, Dalla-Camina gave up her job handling a $ 50 million budget as head of marketing to figure out a lifestyle that didn’t make her feel like she was drowning. Forget the ideal of"having it all". Despite working for a company that gave her flexibility with her schedule, the single mother was barely surviving.
Dalla-Camina had a sense that she wasn’t alone. Her new study now proves it. The Australian native polled 1,000 American working women aged 18 to 55 and the results are discouraging.
R oughly 70% of women don’t believe they have the support to make themselves happy inside and outside of work and 75% don’t believe they can"have it all". In fact, over half of respondents described their life in the past year as"hanging on by a thread". Wha t’s more is that the results are hardly affected by age or whether a woman had children or not.
"The fact that we are having discussions about leaning in when women are saying they are barely surviving is astonishing,"Dalla-Camina says."There are so many women who think that if they keep their head down and continue working hard, someone will notice and opportunities will come to them."
Dalla-Camina’s study points to a severe gap between what working professionals need from their employers and what employers are providing. A recent Boston College study discovered that workplace flexibility is decreasing and less than one-third of employers felt they gave options for employees to have alternative work models. Even if a company offers flexible work arrangements to employees, 70% of women think it’s not possible to be successful in work and home.
Too many companies are stuck in a face-to-face employee model as opposed to an outcome-based model, says Dalla-Camina. Until alternative work plans like working part-time or working from
home become rooted in the DNA of corporate America — as opposed to being viewed as special treatment — nothing will change, she adds.
Jody Miller, CEO of the consulting firm Business Talent Group(BTG), was hardly surprised by Dalla-Camin a’s findings. Miller sees firsthand the benefits of building a company that thinks about work differently. At BTG, half the employees work from home, so there is no shame or punishment for not getting in face time with the boss; indeed, employees are rewarded for the quality of their work, not the amount of time spent on tasks. And a majority of the employees are part-timers and work in a project-based model. Productivity has"gone through the roof"since BTG improved its unique work environment, according to Miller. But"telling workers to ‘lean in’ is just tinkering at the margins,"said Miller."We need fundamental structural changes in the workplace to make it manageable for all workers."
61．From the first paragraph we can see Dalla-Camina.
A.once worked in an airline company
B.earned a salary of $50 million at IBM
C.worked flexible hours in the company
D.had all she wanted before leaving the company
62．The expectations of women professionals are hard to meet in that.
A.the life-work balance is difficult to achieve
B.most employers have prejudice against them
C.the old work model is rooted in many companies
D.many employers can’t spot the great potential of them
63．Which of the following may be contrary to Dalla-Camina’s opinion?

The announcement of Osama bin Laden’s killing by U.S. Navy SEALs touched off a series of emotional reactions around the world, from joy to grief. For most Americans, it prompted a time of rejoicing, a magnificent sense of closure, and a feeling that justice had been done. But for those who were followers of bin Laden, there was anger, heightened feelings of revenge(报复), and a deep sense of loss.
How do we make meaning from such a moment in history? And how do we help children understand the deep values that unite us as a nation? This is indeed a teachable moment for families and for classrooms around the country.
Reactions to murder can be very confusing to children because they are not able to morally reason like adults. Instead of understanding his killing as an act of justice, children may interpret it as an act of revenge. They can internalize joyful reactions to mean"When someone harms me or my family, it is okay to hurt them back."Talking with children about this event is an important lesson in moral development.
Adults can help children understand justice and revenge by talking about the values behind these two concepts. There are sticky issues here — and sometimes there are no concrete answers! Getting kids to reflect on and discuss moral dilemmas is important to development.
Justice is understood differently by different cultures, depending upon their history. At the core of justice are certain shared values about moral rightness, fairness, and ethics that ifbreachedpunishment will follow. Justice is an integral part of the American legal system, a foundation of how our culture thinks about crime and punishment. Justice is about how our actions have consequences.
John Stuart Mill, a British philosopher, suggested that justice evolved from two natural human tendencies: revenge and empathy. Humans have natural empathy for people who are hurt. Indeed, the human loss from 9·11 was overwhelming to everyone, not just those who lost loved ones. Through our ability to put ourselves into another person’s place, we feel a natural desire to revenge on those who hurt us. Thus, Mill believed the laws of justice evolved from the difference between empathy and revenge.
What is the difference between justice and revenge? Justice is undertaken and supported by legitimate judicial systems founded on certain ethics and morals. It is meant to be restorative. On the other hand, revenge is often done to make others suffer the same or greater pain than that which was originally inflicted. It can be argued that the type of killing done by al-Qaeda is steeped in revenge because it is designed to inflict the greatest harm on innocent people.
Helping children understand the meaning of justice and its underlying values is important. It develops a child’s ability to develop skills in moral reasoning. And it helps them distinguish between concepts such as justice and revenge. When they are faced with their own moral dilemmas, they will be able to respond.
An event like bin Laden’s d eath and the intense emotions surrounding the event of 9·11 are different for each American household. Talk to your children about your feelings. Ask them about theirs. Perhaps they are too young to remember the day when the World Trade Center was attacked and the immense grief you felt. Tell them about that day. Talk about justice — and the consequences of our actions. Share your own moral dilemmas and how you worked through them.
Current events present an opportunity to talk about American values. It is also an occasion to talk about family values. How do your kids experience the consequences of their actions when they are dishonest, selfish, or treat others with disrespect. Families should initiate conversations about values and moral dilemmas often in a child’s life.。
