Love cures people—both the ones who give it and the ones who receive it. ——Dr. Karl Menninger
I was being interviewed by a senior manager for a major insurance company. I told him 21 that the main reason why I was 22 with them was my 23 to keep my family in Boston. My wife of 26 years old had recently died of a heart attack. A(n) 24 in Boston would also help me reduce some of the pain of the loss. Bruce, the interviewer, was politely sympathetic, and didn’t probe（调查）any 25 .He acknowledged my loss and, with great respect, moved on to another 26 .
After the next 27 of interview, Bruce took me to lunch with another manager. Then he asked me to take a 28 with him. He told me that he, 29 , had lost his wife. And
he had also been married 20 years and had three children. In his sharing, I realized that he had 30 the same pain as I had, a pain that was almost 31 to explain to someone who had not lost a loved 32. He offered his business card and home phone number and 33 that, if I needed help or just wanted someone to 34 , I should feel 35 to give him a call, no matter 36 I got the job or not. He wanted me to know that he was there if I 37 needed any help.
From that one act of kindness, when he had no 38 whether we would ever see each other again, he helped me 39 one of life’s greatest losses. He turned the normal 40 business interview process into an act of caring and support for another person in a time of need.

A woman whose sports car was stolen with her dog in it put up notices all over the area that made it clear getting back her pet was more important than her car．“Whoever did this can keep my car．Please let Benjerman come home,” the notice said．
It is not known whether the thief showed any pity, but almost 30 hours after the 1 pm theft Friday, Kimberly Atkins of Dover and Benjerman，a 12-year-old black retriever，were reunited after police located them in Barrington．“He’s hungry, he’s dirty, but he’s very happy to be home，”Atkins said． The car was found at about 5 pm Saturday off Route 125 in a swampy area frequented by off-the-road cars and dirt bikes．H owever, the police couldn’t control Benjerman，and they had to call Atkins to come and get him．

Imagine that the genome （基因组） is a book. The book consists of 23 chapters with thousands of stories made up of paragraphs, words and letters on different levels. There are one billion words in the book, as long as 800 Bibles; if I read the genome out to you at the rate of one word per second for eight hours a day, it would take me centuries; if I wrote out the human genome, one letter per millimeter, my text would be as long as the River Danube. This is a huge volume, a book of great length, but it all fits inside an extremely small cell nuclear（细胞核） that fits easily upon the head of a pin.
The idea of the genome as a book is not, strictly speaking, even a metaphor. It is true to a great extent. A book is a piece of digital information, written in one-directional form and defined by a code that translates a small alphabet of signs into a large dictionary of meanings through the order of their groupings. So is a genome. The only difference is that all English books read from left to right, while some parts of the genome read from left to right while some from right to left, but never both at the same time.
While English books are written in words of different lengthens using twenty-six letters, genomes are written entirely in words of three-letter length, using only four letters, and instead of being written on flat pages, they are written on long chains of DNA molecules （分子）.
The genome is a very clever book, because in the right condition it can both photocopy itself and read itself.
45、How do human genomes read according to the passage?___________
A．Only from left to right.
B．Only from right to left.
C．From both directions at the same time.
D．From one direction at a time.
46、We can learn from the passage that the human genome ________.
A．is as long as the River Danube
B．can be easily placed on the head of a pin
C．is coded with an alphabet of four letters
D．is smart enough to read and take photos of itself
47、It can be concluded that the passage is mainly written for ______.
A．specialists in the field
B．general readers
C．natural scientists
D．readers with professional knowledge
48、The real purpose of the author’s comparison of the genome to a book is _____.
A．to focus on the differences between the two
B．to lay emphasis on the similarities between the two
C．to simplify the concept of the human genome
D．to give an exact description of the human genome
C
Garden Route, South Africa
Take in this fresh sea air in this beautiful coastal setting as you cruise the famous Garden Route in the Western Cape in South Africa. A wild life break is a must, as is enjoying great meal stops along the route. There are wild life reserves throughout the Garden Route National Park you can swing into and spend a sleepy morning in a car looking for giraffes and lions. And just over your shoulder in the big blue there are whales to be watched (if the season is right).
Top tip: Add a trip to the Eastern Cape to your Garden Route trip. It is much less known than the Western Cape and full of landscapes. The gas station is occasionally seen.
Great Ocean Road, Australia
Sweep along this dramatic coastal road in Australia with views of the Sourthern Ocean from Geelong to Portland, in Victoria, and you won’t regret it. Anyone who has driven it just can’t stop talking about it, and with good reason. Ther e’re loads to see and plenty of great stops. Ther e’s whale-watching here too, and other natural life. And to top it all, there’ll be plenty of good old Aussie kindness and welcome when you pull in for lunch or a coffee stop.
Top tip: Rent an open-top car so you can really drink in that sea air.
Stelvio Pass, Italy
If you like snake-like paths and mountain passes, you’ll love this. Stelvio in Italy. The mountain slopes stretch away on either side of the road, with snow-topped peaks within sight. There’s a great view down the pass. And from the top, it’s just a short sweep away from the Swiss border, so if you are gripped by mountain road driving, you can drive from here down to Swiss ski resort Davos. Stelvio has 48 hairpins(急弯) on the north side and 12 on the decent(陡坡) to Bormio, so this route is not recommended for new drivers, or those with a fear of heights. This decent is is often featured in the Giro d’Italia, the Italian version of the Tour de France, so you may have glimpsed it on the television.
Top tip: Take some Swiss Francs as well as some Euros, so you can make the trip
a cross-border experience.
49. In which travel routes can one enjoy whale-watching?_________
A. Stelvio Pass, Italy and Garden Route, South Africa
B. Great Ocean Road, Australia and Stelvio Pass, Italy
C. Garden Route, South Africa and no other route

50. The tips in the ad are meant to ________.
A. introduce a new route to the drivers
B. help drivers find gas stations on the route

D. warn drivers of the possible dangers on the road
51. Compared with the other two routes, Stelvio Pass is special in that ________.
A. it’s more winding and challenging
B. it’s safe and more suitable for new drivers
C. it has lots of wild animals on either side of the road
D. it’s often featured in Tour de France and thus more famous
52. What’s the best title for the travel advertisement?________

D
Everybody hates it, but everybody does it . A recent report said that 40% of Americans hate tipping .
In America alone , tipping is a $16 billion-a-year industry .Consumers acting politely ought not to pay more than they have to for a given service . Tips should not exist . So why do they ? The common opinion in the past was that tips both rewarded the efforts of good service and reduced uncomfortable feelings of inequality. And also, tipping makes for closer relations. It went without saying that the better the service, the bigger the tip .
But according to new research from Cornell University , tips no longer serves any useful function . The paper analyzes numbers they got from 2547 groups dining at 20 different restaurants . The connection between larger tips and better service was very weak . Only a tiny part of the size of the tip had anything to do with the quality of service .
Tipping is better explained by culture than by the money people spend . In America , the custom came into being a long time ago . It is regarded as part of the accepted cost of a service. In New York restaurants , failing to tip at least 15% could well mean dissatisfaction from the customers . Hairdressers can expect to get 15%—20% , and the man who delivers your fast food $ 2. In Europe , tipping is less common . In many restaurants the amount of tip is decided by a standard service charge . In many Asian countries , tipping has never really caught on at all . Only a few have really taken to tipping.
According to Michael Lynn , the Cornell papers’ author , countries in which people are more social or outgoing tend to tip more . Tipping may reduce anxiety about being
served by strangers . And , says , Mr . Lynn, “in America , where people are expressive and eager to mix up with others , tipping is about social approval . If you tip badly , pe ople think less of you . “Tipping well is a chance to show off .”
53．This passage is mainly about ___________.
A．different kinds of tipping in different countries
B．the relationship between tipping and custom
C．the original and present meaning of tipping
D．most American people hate tipping
54．Which of the following best explains the underlined phrase “caught on” ?
A．been hated B．become popular C．been stopped D．been permitted 55．Among the following situations , in your opinion , who is likely to tip most ?__________
A．A Frenchman just quarreled with the barber who did his hair badly in NY.
B. A Chinese student enjoyed his meal in a famous fast food restaurant in NY.
C．A Japanese businessman asked for a pizza delivery from a Pizza Hut in NY.
D．An American just had a wonderful dinner in a well-known restaurant in NY. 56．We can infer from this passage that __________.
A．tipping is no longer a good way to satisfy some customers themselves B．tipping has something to do with people’s characte r
C．tipping in America can make service better now
D．tipping is especially popular in New York

You feel happiest when you create a healthy balance between giving and receiving. If you give and give without making tim e to fill your own needs,then it’s likely you will burn out , or feel upset .When you take and take without giving anything back ,you never feel fulfilled, so you are always searching for ways to fill the void in your life.
The way to create a healthy balance between giving and receiving is to know and then live by your values .I break values up into two groups which I call being and having values. Your being values are the character traits of the ideal person you would like to be. I suggest to my clients that they choose three being values that they are willing to make a commitment to live by. An example of some being values are: kind, loving, generous, inspirational, peaceful, wise and even powerful. By acting on these values you give to others through your actions and you inspire others by being a positive role model. Mastering being these character traits becomes your life purpose.
Your having values are the feelings you need to create in order to be happy. These could be companionship, achievement, support, being valued or financial security. This is what you receive. You take responsibility for filling your own needs by taking steps to create these feelings and conditions in your life.
When you make a commitment to live by your being values, it becomes easier to make conscious choices rather than reactionary ones. If your usual pattern is to talk about your problems, you could choose to think and act like a calm person . A calm
person might go for a walk ,meditate, or set a time limit before responding. If your usual pattern is to worry, you could choose to act like a responsible or wise person. In other words, you would act like the person you choose to be—this is the key to personal power.
When you choose to act on your values , you not only feel good about yourself, you reinforceyour chosen beliefs. Over time acting in this way changes how you see the world, and in turn the way other people think of you.
57．The main purpose of this passage is to ___________.
A．persuade the readers to make a commitment
B．explain to the readers what personal values are
C．inform the readers how to be truly happy
D．instruct the readers how to make wise choices
58．According to the text ,living by your being values ,you would ______________ .
A．gain a lot of power B．form positive personality
C．seek all human virtues D．fill your own needs
59．The underlined word “void” in Paragraph 1 means_____________ .
A．a feeling of emptiness B．an absence of one’s mind
C．a break of continuity D．a state of confusion
60．What can be inferred from the text?____________
A．Having values are better than being values.
B．A calm person does not choose to complain.
C．The way other people think of you decides who you are.
D．A responsible person does not care about financial security.

Nowadays, students are burdened with heavy workloads. They not only have to study very hard in the daytime but also stay up late to finish their homework.
There are many reasons. Maybe the most important one is the pressure they may face in the future. On the other hand, parents and teachers expect too much of them,because they think nowadays the social competition is very intense.
The problem is becoming more and more serious and it’s time for us to do something to change the situation. First, teachers should reform their classroom activities to make full use of the time in class. Besides, students should improve their learning efficiency. In this way, the problem may finally be solved. (118 words)。
