He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work. One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down at the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought that someone would dance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up. As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn’t dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean. As he got closer he called out, “Good morning! What are you doing?’’The young man paused, looked up and replied, “Throwing starfishes(海星)in the ocean.”“I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfishes in the ocean?”“The sun is up and the tide is going out. And if I don’t throw them in they’ll die.”“But, young man, don’t you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfishes all along it. You can’t possibly make a difference!”The young man listened politely. Then he bent down, picked another starfish and threw it into the sea, and said, “ It made a difference for that one.” There is something very special in each and every one of us. We have all been gifted with the ability to make a difference. And if we can know that gift, we will gain through the strength of our vision the power to shape the future.We must each find our starfish. And if we throw our starfish wisely and well, the world will be better.56.One day, the wise man saw a young man _______.A. dancing along the beachB. walking with a dancerC. picking up starfish for saleD. trying to save as many starfishes as possible57. The underlined words “ something very special” refers to ________.A. the gifts from friendsB. the strength of making a decisionC. our own starfishD. the ability to make a difference58. From the last two paragraphs, we can learn that ________.A. the wise man realized something new and importantB. the wise man thought it was foolish of the young man to throw starfishes in the ocean.C. the young man had the ability to make a differenceD. it is necessary for us to save starfish on the beach59. The writer told this story to show us ________.A. how and where we can write a good articleB. everyone can do something for the futureC. wise man is sometimes stupidD. young man is in fact wiser than old peopleBA recent study, which was published in last week’s Journal of the American Medical Association, offers a picture of how dangerous it is to get a lift from a teenage driver. Indeed, a 16-year-old driver with three or more passengers has three times the possibility of a serious accident, compared with a teenager driving alone.The authors also found that the death rates for teenage drivers increased greatly after 10 p.m., and especially after midnight. With passengers in the car, the driver was even more likely to die in a late-night accident.Robert Foss, a scientist at the University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center, says the higher death rates for teenage drivers have less to do with “really stupid behavior” than with just a lack of driving experience. “The basic issue is that adults who are responsible for giving out licenses fail to recognize how complex and skilled drivi ng is.” he says.Both he and the author of the study believe that the way to mitigate (使缓解) the problem is to have states set up so-called graduated licensing systems, in which getting a license is a process with several stages.A graduated license requires that a teenager first prove himself able to drive in the presence(在场)of an adult, followed by a period of driving with night of passenger restrictions (限制) before graduating to full driving rights.Graduated licensing systems have reduced teenage driver crashes, according to recent studies.60．Which of the following situations is most dangerous according to the passage?A. Adults giving a lift to teenagers on the highway after 10 p.m.B. Adults driving with three or more teenage passengers late at night.C. A teenager driving after midnight with passengers in the car.D. A teenager getting a lift from a stranger on the highway at midnight.61．According to Robert Foss, the high death rate of teenage drivers is mainly due to _______.A. their frequent driving at nightB. their lack of driving experienceC. their wrong way of drivingD. their driving with passengers62．According to Paragraph 3, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Teenagers should spend more time learning to drive.B. Driving is a skill too complex for teenagers to learn.C. Restrictions should be forced on teenagers demanding to take driving licenses.D. The licensing department is partly responsible for teenagers’ driving accidents.63．A suggested measure to be taken to reduce teenagers’ driving accidents is that ______.A. driving in the presence of an adult should be made a ruleB. they should be forbidden to take on passengersC. they should not be allowed to drive after 10 pmD. the licensing system should be improvedCShift Happens by Robert HoldenPrice: $ 6.49It’s an excellent book that will greatly improve your life.

A. $29 B. $23.20 C. $26.50 D. $22.40DIn our culture, the sources of what we call a sense of “mastery” — feeling important and worthwhile — and the sources of wh at we call a sense of “pleasure”— finding life enjoyable — are not always the same. Women often are told “You can’t have it all.” Sometimes what the speaker really is saying is: “You choose a career, so you can’t expect to have closer relationships or a happy family life.” or “You have a wonderful husband and children —what’s all this about wanting a career?” But women need to understand and develop both aspects of well-being, if they are to feel good about themselves.Our study shows that, for women, well-being has two aspects. One is mastery, which includes self-respect, a sense of control over your life, and low levels of anxiety and depression. Mastery is closely related to the “doing” side of life, to work and activity. Pleasure is the other aspect, an d it is made up of happiness, satisfaction and optimism. It is tied more closely to the “feeling” side of life. The two are independent of each other. A woman could be high in mastery and low in pleasure, and vice versa（反之亦然）. For example, a woman who has a good job, but whose mother has just died, might be feeling very good about herself and in control of her work life, but the pleasure side could be damaged for a time.The concepts of mastery and pleasure can help us identify the sources of well-being for women, and correct past mistakes. In the past, women were encouraged to look only at the feeling side of life as the source of all well-being. But we know that both mastery and pleasure are important. And mastery seems to be achieved largely through work. In our study, all the groups of employed women were valued significantly higher in mastery than women who were not employed.A woman’s well-being is developed when she takes on multiple roles. At least by middle adulthood, the women who were involved in a combination of roles —marriages, motherhood, and employment —were the highest in well-being, in spite of warnings about stress and strain.67. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that ________.A. for women, a sense of “mastery” is more important than a sense of “pleasure”B. for women, a sense of “pleasure” is more important than a sense of “mastery”C. women can’t have a sense of “mastery” and a sense of “pleasure” at the same timeD. a sense of “mastery” and a sense of “pleasure” are both nece ssary to women68. The author’s attitude towards women having a career is________.A. negativeB. positiveC. uninterestedD. realistic69. One can conclude from the passage that if a woman takes on several social roles, ________.A. it will be easier for her to overcome stress and strainB. she will be more successful in her careerC. her chances of getting promoted will be greaterD. her life will be richer and more meaningful70. Which of the following can be considered as a source of “pleasure” fo r women?A. Family lifeB. Multiple roles in societyC. Regular employmentD.
