Children find meanings in their old family tales.`When Stephen Guyer’s three children were growing up, he told them stories about how his grandfather, a banker, 1 all in the 1930s, but did not lose sight of what he valued most. In one of the darkest times when his strong-minded grandfather was nearly 2 , he loaded his family into the car and 3 them to see family members in Canada with a 4 , “There are more important things in life than money.”The 5 took on a new meaning recently when Mr. Guyer downsized to a 6 house from a more expensive and comfortable one. He was 7 that his children, a daughter, 15, and twins, 22, would be upset. To his surprise, they weren’t. Instead, their reaction echoed their great-grandfather’s. What they 8 about was how warm the people were in the house and how much of their heart was accessible.Many parents are finding family stories have surprising power to help children through 9 times. Storytelling experts say the phenomenon reflects a growing 10 in telling tales, evidenced by a rise in storytelling events and festivals.A university 11 of 65 families with children aged from 14 to 16 found kids’ ability to 12 parents’stories was linked to a lower rate of anger and anxiety.The 13 is telling the stories in a way children can hear. We’re not talking here about the kind of story that 14 , “When I was a kid, I walked to school every day uphill both ways, barefoot in the snow.” Instead, we should choose a story suited to the child’s 15 , and make eye contact to create “a personal experience”.

Do you ever wonder why you yawn Why do you open your mouth wide and take a deep breath Well, a scientist at the University of Maryland is searching for the answer.Professor Robert Provine has been studying yawning for the past two years. But he says he still does not know 16 people yawn. In fact, no one seems to know much about it. Professor Provine’s students have helped him find out more about yawning. They agreed to 17 (watch) while sitting alone in small rooms. In the rooms, they watched television programs, or pictures of people yawning. Or they just sat and 18 (think) about yawning. Students also kept records of when they yawned throughout the day.The professor says he has learned 19 number of things from these experiments. He says yawning seems linked in some way to sleeping. His students yawned most just before sleeping or 20 waking from sleep. He also found that people yawn much when they are 21 (bore ) or not interested in what they are doing.Now, Professor Provine is planning future experiments to help him find the purpose of yawning. He said there is some evidence 22 yawning is linked to 23 (excite). Yawning is common among runners 24 (wait) to begin a race.It is also common among people waiting to make a speech.Professor Provine says he is most interested in learning why seeing someone yawn makes others yawn as well. He says almost anything connected with yawning can make people yawn. As a matter of fact, I found 25 yawning a lot as I prepared this report. I wonder if hearing it can make you yawn. If it does, excuse me, if you did yawn, write and tell me.第二部分阅读（共两节，满分50分）第一节？第二节阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，总分40分）AIn the past, people who graduated from college felt proud of their academic(学业的) achievements and felt confident that their degree would help them to find a good job.However, in the past four years the job market has changed greatly. This year’s college gr aduates are facing one of the worst job markets. For example, Ryan Stewart, a graduate of San Jose State University, got a degree in religious studies, but no job prospects. He points out that many people already working are getting laid off and don’t hav e jobs, so it’s even harder for new college graduates to find jobs.Four years ago, the future looked bright for the class of 2006. There were many high-tech job chances. Graduates received many job offers, and they were able to get jobs with high salaries and benefits such as insurance(保险) and paid vacations. However, "Times have changed and it's a new market," according to an officer of the San Jose State Career Center.The officer says students who do find jobs started preparing two years ago. They worked during summer vacations, they have had several short-time jobs, and they’ve majored in one of the few fields that are still hot, like chemical engineering, accounting, or nursing, where average starting salaries have actually increased over last year. Other popular fields (like information system management, computer science, and political science) have seen big declines(下降) in starting salaries.Ryan Stewart (he had hoped to become a teacher) may go back to school in order to become a college teacher. He thinks college teaching could be a good career even in a bad economy.In conclusion, these days a degree may not be a ticket to instant wealth for some students. For now, they can onlyhope the value of their degree will increase over time./underlined word in the second paragraph probably means _____.A. skillsB. interestsC. chancesD. ideas27. Which of the following majors has the best job offersA. teachingB. accountingC. political scienceD. computer science28. Ryan Stewart will have to ____________.A. change his majorB. get a job teachingC. go back to schoolD. become a religious leader(29. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means ____________.A. the best way to get rich is not to get a college degreeB. most students with degrees will not be able to find jobsC. having a college degree does not mean that one has money for travellingD. a college degree does not mean that one will find a well-paid job30. The main idea of the passage is that _________.A. a lot of graduates are losing their jobsB. Ryan Stewart has been able to find a job&C. salaries in some fields have increased in the past yearD. the job market has changed greatly over the past four yearsBObviously television has both advantages and disadvantages.In the first place, television is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also a comparatively cheap one. With a TV set in the family people don’t have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre, the cinema, or the opera. All they have to do is to push a button or turn a knob, and they can see plays, films, operas and shows of every kind. Some people, however, think that this is where the danger lies. The television viewers need do nothing. He does not even have to use his legs if he has a remote control. He makes no choice, does no exercises, and makes no judgment. He is completely passive （被动的）and has everything presented to him without any effort in his part.Television, it is often said, keeps one informed about current events and the latest developments in science and politics. The most distant countries and the strangest customs are brought right into one’s sitting room. It could be argued that the radio performs this service as well; but on television everything is much more living, much more real. Yet here again there is a danger. The television screen itself has a terrible, almost physical charm for us. We get so used to looking at the movements on it, so dependent on its pictures, that it begins to control our lives. People are often heard to say that their television sets have broken down and that they have suddenly found that they have far more time to do things and that they actu ally begin to talk to each other again. It makes one think, doesn’t it There are many other arguments for and against television. We must realize that television itself is neither good nor bad. It is the uses that determine its value to society.31. The main function of paragraph 1 is to __________.）A. introduce the theme of the whole passageB. summarize the whole passageC. arouse the reader’s interestD. state the primary uses of TV32. Television, as a source of entertainment, is __________.A. not very convenientB. very expensiveC. quite dangerousD. relatively cheap33. Some people are against TV because ___________.|A. TV programs are not interesting.B. TV viewers are totally passive.C. TV has more disadvantages.D. TV prices are very high.of the most obvious advantages of TV is that _______.A. it is very cheapB. it controls our livesC. it keeps us informedD. it enables us to have a rest35. According to the passage, whether TV is good or not depends on ___________.~A. where we buy itB. how we think about itC. how we make use of itD. where we make use of itCWhat will man be like in the future——in 5000 or even 50,000 years from now We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacity.As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over very long period of time it is likely that man’s eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.But what about hair This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.·Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.36. The passage mainly tells us that____.A. man’s life will be different in the futureB. future man will look quite different from usC. man is growing taller and uglier as time passesD. the functions of man’s organs(器官) will function as well as today37. Which of the following serves as the evidence that man is changingA. Man’s hair is getting thinner and thinner.(B. Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had.C. Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years.D. Man’s arms and legs have become lighter and weaker.38. The change in man’s size of forehead is probably becaus e__________A. he makes use of only 20 % of the brain’s capacity.B. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due（预定的）time.C. his brain has grown larger over the past centuries.D. he will use his brain more and more as time goes on.）39. Which of the following is true about a human being in the futureA. He thinks and feels in different way.B. He has smaller eyes and wears better glasses.C. He is hairless because hair is no longer useful.D. His fingers grow weaker because he doesn’t use them.40. It can be inferred from the passage that __________.A. future life is always predictable（可预测的）B. human beings hope for a change in the future life】C. human beings will become less attractive in the futureD. Less use of a bodily organ may lead to its degeneration（衰退）DI sit at my kitchen table, while my daughter, Anna, sits next to my mother. On the wall hangs a photo of my father.“When is Rick going to be here” My mother asks, referring to my husband.“I don’t know, Mom,” I answer patiently. “He’ll be here for dinner.”I sigh and get up from the table. This is at least the tenth time she has asked that my mother and daughter play, I busy myself making a salad.“Don't put in any onions,” Mom says. “You know how Daddy hates onion.”“Yes, Mom,” I scrub(洗擦) off a carrot and chop it into bite-size pieces.（“Don't put any onions in the salad,” she reminds me. “You know how Daddy hates onion.”This time I can’t answer.My mother had been beautiful. She still is. In fact, my mother is still everything she has been,just a bit cut off the end of the cucumber and rub it to take away the bitterness. Cut and rub. This is a trick I have learned from my mother, along with a trillion other things: cooking, sewing, dating, laughing, thinking. I learned how to grow up. And I learned that when my mother was around, I never had to be afraid. So why am I afraid nowI study my mother's hands. Her nails are no longer a bright red, but painted a light pink. Almost no color at all. And as I stare at them, I realize I am feeling them as they shaped my youth. Hands that packed a thousand lunches and wiped a million tears off my cheeks. Now my hands have grown into those of my mother's. Hands that have cooked uneaten meals, held my own daughter's frightened fingers on the first day of school and dried tears off her face. I grow lighthearted. I can feel my mother kiss me goodnight, check to see if the window is locked, then blow another kiss from the doorway. Then I am my mother, blowing that same kiss to Anna. Outside everything is still. Shadows fall among the trees, shaped like pieces of a puzzle.Someday my daughter will be standing in my place, and I will rest where my mother now sits. Will I remember then how it felt to be both mother and daughter Will I ask the same question too many times I walk over and sit down between my mother and her granddaughter.“Where is Rick” my mother asks, resting her hand on the table next to mine. And in that instant I know she remembers. She may repeat herself a little too much. But she remembers.“He’ll be here,” I answer with a smile.41. What’s wrong with the writer’s motherA. She is very old.B. She suffers forgetfulness.—C. She is absent-minded.D. She is eager to see Rick.42. What can we learn about the writer’s fa ther according to the passageA. He might have passed away for years.B. He goes out for a walk by himself.C. He is out doing something with Rick.D. He loves the writer’s mother deeply.43. The underlined sentence “I realize I am feeling them as they shaped my youth” probably means that ______.A. Mother’s hands witnessed my growth as a youth】B. Mother’s hands are similar to mine as a youthC. I like to feel mother’s hands when she was youngD. I realize her hands were exactly like those in her youth44. Which of the following words best describe the writer’s mood towards her motherA. Content.B. Disappointed.C. Loving.D. Considerate.best title for the passage would be ______.A. Mother’s beautyB. My father hates onionC. Hard-working motherD. Mother’s hands,第二节信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）请阅读下列有关婚姻的观点，按照要求匹配信息。
