Each student arrives at school with his own needs and difficulties. One year a student called Billy 36 me with his behavior as well as his academic requirements. He struggled daily with his 37 emotions and often became angry or violent. I knew that, to make 38 progress, his emotions needed controlling.One 39 I tried to help Billy was to have him come directly into the classroom when he arrived at school. Billy’s mom would 40 me to alert (警告) me to a particularly emotional morning at home. Then, I would focus on 41 his anger and calming him down before the other students arrived.One week our class was studying 42 .

But just as young men from poor Arab nations poured into the oil-rich Persian Gulf states for jobs, more young women are doing so.Flight attendants have become the public face of the new mobility for some young Arab women, just as they were the face of new freedoms for women in the United States in the 1950s and 1960s. They have become a subject of social anxiety and fascination in much the same way.For many families, allowing a daughter to work may call her virtue into question. Yet this culture is changing, said Musa Shteiwi, a sociologist at Jordan University in Amman. “We’re noticing more and more single women going to the gulf these days,” he said. “It’s still not exactly common, but over the last four or five years it’s become quite an observable phenomenon.”Many of the young Arab women working in the Persian Gulf take delight in their status as pioneers, role models for their friends and younger female relatives. Young women brought up in a culture that highly values community, have learned to see themselves as individuals. The experience of living independently and working hard for high salaries has forever changed their beliefs about themselves, though it can also lead to a painful sense of separation from their home countries and their families.—From New York Times (December 22, 2008)56. It can be inferred from the passage that young Arab women _________.A. go to work abroad after Am erican women’s exampleB. didn’t start to work abroad until the late 20th centuryC. are commonly used to living and working separatelyD. expect to take the same family responsibilities as men57. According to the passage, the Arab women flight attendants can be described as _________.A. proud, homesick or independentB. honest, outstanding or optimisticC. mature, enthusiastic or energeticD. painful, desperate or conservative58. How do the public respond to young Arab women’s new mobilit y?A. The public think highly of it.B. The public care very little about it.C. The public show both interest and anxiety.D. The public are strongly against it.59. The author intends to tell the readers that __________.A. Arab women can hardly find any workB. flight attendants are badly needed in the gulfC. flight attendants lead quite a different lifeD. young Arab women’s values are changingBWhat Is Natural MedicineNatural Medicine is to use the natural environment, the nature of the material itself to cure diseases and restore the health.

It is claimed that humor not only affects patients’ moods, but can actually help them recover faster.Several studies seem to support this. Patients in better spirits are known to have higher immune cell counts. Some have even claimed to have healed themselves of serious illnesses by reading comics and watching comedies.Despite all this, many researchers are not convinced. They point out the fact that many sufferings have been known to disappear naturally, with or without a daily dose of laughter. They also say that while optimism in general does seem to be related to better health, it is hard to tell which comes first.Humor in times of stress, however, clearly makes us feel better. On one level, it takes our mindsoff our troubles and relaxes us. On another, it releases powerful endorphins, a chemical produced by your body that reduces pain.There are cases where the appreciation of a good joke is indeed directly related to a person’s health. It can show, for example, whether a person has suffered damage to one particular area of the brain: the right frontal lobe (额叶).Scientists confirmed this by having people read jokes and asking them to choose the funniest endings from a list. Subjects with normal brains usually chose endings that were based on a relatively complex synthesis (综合) of ideas. Subjects with specifically located brain damage, however, responded only to slapstick (闹剧) endings, which did not depend on a particular context. When pressed, the brain-damaged subjects saw the logic in the correct endings. They simply did not find them funny.Of course, humor is largely an individual matter. Next time your friend does not get one of your jokes, there is no need to accuse him of being a lamebrain. However, you might suggest that he lighten up—for the health of it.63. We can infer from the passage that ________.A. all researchers have agreed on the healing power of humorB. people seldom accuse their friends of not understanding jokesC. the author holds a positive attitude to the healing power of humorD. reading comics will surely become a popular way of treating diseases64. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Many researchers are not convinced of the healing power of humor.B. Patients in bad moods are known to have higher immune cell counts.C. Optimism in general does seem to be related to better health.D. People should try their best to cheer up for their good health.65. Scientists had some people read jokes and asked them to choose the funniest endings from a list to confirm that ________.A. the brain-damaged people are different from those with normal brainsB. a person with a normal brain usually responds to slapstick endingsC. a person suffering certain brain damage doesn’t appreciate a good jokeD. humor takes our minds off our troubles by releasing powerful endorphins66. Which would be the best title for the passage?A. Which comes first, humor or health?B. Humor can cure different illnessesC. People need humor in times of stressD. Humor contributes to good healthDThe thing is, my luck’s always been ruined. Just look at my name: Jean. Not Jean Marie, or Jeanine, or Jeanette, or even Jeanne. Just Jean. Did you know in France, they name boys Jean? It’s French for John. And okay, I don’t live in France. But still, I’m basically a girl named John. If I lived in France, anyway.This is the kind of luck I’ve had since before Mom even filled out my birth certificate. So it wasn’t any big surprise to me when the cab driver didn’t help me with my suitcase. I’d already had to tolerate arriving at the airport to find no one there to greet me, and then got no answer to my many phone calls, asking where my aunt and uncle were. Did they not want me after all? Had they changed their minds? Had they heard about my bad luck—all the way from Iowa—and decided they didn’t want any of it to rub off on them?So when the cab driver, instead of getting out and helping me with my bags, just pushed a littlebutton so that the trunk (汽车后备箱) popped open a few inches, it wasn’t the worst thing that had ever happened to me. It wasn’t even the worst thing that had happened to me that day. According to my mom, most brownstones in New York City were originally single-family homes when they were built way back in the 1800s. But now they’ve been divided up into apartments, so that there’s one—or sometimes even two or more families—per floor.Not Mom’s sister Evelyn’s brownstone, though. Aunt Evelyn and Uncle Ted Gardiner own all four floors o f their brownstone. That’s practically one floor per person, since Aunt Evelyn and Uncle Ted only have three kids, my cousins Tory, Teddy, and Alice.Back home, we just have two floors, but there are seven people living on them. And only one bathroom. Not that I’m complaining. Still, ever since my sister Courtney discovered blow-outs, it’s been pretty frightful at home.But as tall as my aunt and uncle’s house was, it was really narrow—just three windows across. Still, it was a very pretty townhouse, painted gray. The door was a bright, cheerful yellow. There were yellow flower boxes along the base of each window, flower boxes from which bright red—and obviously newly planted, since it was only the middle of April, and not quite warm enough for them. It was nice to know that, even in a sophisticated (世故的) city like New York, people still realized how homey and welcoming a box of flowers could be. The sight of those flowers cheered me up a little.Like maybe Aunt Evelyn and Uncle Ted just forgot I was arri ving today, and hadn’t deliberately failed to meet me at the airport because they’d changed their minds about letting me come to stay. Like everything was going to be all right, after all.Yeah. With my luck, probably not.I started up the steps to the front door of 326 East Sixty-Ninth Street, then realized I couldn’t make it with both bags and my violin. Leaving one bag on the sidewalk, I dragged the other up the steps with me. Maybe I took the steps a little too fast, since I nearly tripped and fell flat on my face on the sidewalk. I managed to catch myself at the last moment by grabbing some of the fence the gardeners had put up…67. Why did the author go to New York?A. She intended to go sightseeing there.B.
