Two people agree to marry when they decide to spend their lives together.The man usually gives the woman a diamond engagement ring? That tradition is said to have started when an Austrian man gave a diamond ring to the woman he wanted to marry. The diamond represented beauty. He placed it on the third finger of her left hand. He chose that finger because it was thought that a blood vessel in that finger went directly to the heart. Today, we know that this is not true. Yet the tradition continues.Americans generally are engaged for a period of about one year if they are planning a wedding ceremony and party. During the time, friends of the bride may hold a party at which women friends and family members give the bride gifts that she will need as a wife. These could include cooking equipment or new clothing.Friends of the man who is getting married may have a bachelor party for him. This usually takes place the night before the wedding. Only men are invited to the bachelor party.During the marriage ceremony, the bride and her would-be husband usually exchange gold rings that represent the idea that their union will continue forever. The wife often wears both the wedding ring and engagement ring on the same finger. The husband wears hi ring on the third finger of his left hand.Many people say the purpose of the engagement period is to permit enough time to plan the wedding.But the main purpose is to let enough time pass so the two people are sure they want to marry each other. Either person may decide to break the engagement. If this happens, the woman usually returns the ring to the man; they also return any wedding gifts they have received.Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.29. What was the diamond ring said to represent?30. Why did the Austrian man place the diamond ring on the third finger of the left hand of his would-be wife?31. What is the chief advantage of having the engagement period?Passage Three"Where is the university?" is a question many visitors to Cambridge ask, but no one could point them in any one direction because there is no campus. The university consists of thirty-one self-governing colleges. It has lecture halls, libraries, laboratories, museums and offices throughout the city.Individual colleges choose their own students, who have to meet the minimum entrance requirements set by the university. Undergraduates usually live and study in their colleges, where they are taught in very small groups. Lectures, and laboratory and practical work are organized by the university and held in university buildings.The university has a huge number of buildings for teaching and research. It has more than sixty specialist subject libraries, as well as the University Library, which, asa copyright library, is entitled to a copy of every book published in Britain.Examinations are set and degrees are awarded by the university. It allowed women to take the university exams in 1881, but it was not until 1948 that they, were a warded degrees.Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.32. Why is it difficult for visitors to locate Cambridge University?33. What does the passge tell us about the colleges of Cambridge University?34. What can be learned from the passage about the libraries in Cambridge University?35. What does the passage say about women students in Cambridge University?Section C采集者退散Directions: In this section, you will hear a passage three. when the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 36 to 43 with the exact words you have just heard. For blanks numbered from 44 to 46 you are required to fill in the missing information. For these blanks, you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words. Finally,when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.Russia is the largest economic power that is not a member of the World Trade Organization. But that may change. Last Friday, the European Union said it would support Russia's (36) effort to become a W.T.O. member.Representatives of the European Union met with Russian(37) officials in Moscow. They signed a trade agreement that took six years to (38) negotiate.Russia called the trade agreement (39) balanced. It agreed to slowly increase fuel prices within the country. It also agreed to permit (40) competition.in its communications industry and to remove some barriers to trade.In (41) exchange for European support to join the W.T.O, Russian President Putin said that Russia would speed up the (42) process to approve the Kyoto Protocol, an international (43) environmental agreement to reduce the production of harmful industrial gases. (44) These "greenhouse gases" trap heat in the atmosphere and are blamed for changing the world's climate.Russia had signed the Kyoto Protocol, but has not yet approved it. The agreement takes effect when it has been approved by nations that produce at least 55 percent of the world's greenhouse gases. (45)But currently, nations producing only 44 percent have approved the Protocol. Russia produces about 17 percent of the world's green-house gases.. The United States, the world's biggest producer, withdrew from the Kyoto Protocol after President Bush took office in 2001. So, Russia's approval is required to put the Kyoto Protocol into effect.(46) To join the W.T.O., a country must reach trade agreements with major trading countries that are also W.T.O. members. Russia must still reach agreements with China, Japan, South Korea and the United States.“成千上万人疯狂下载。

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D.You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on theAnswer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Every 14 days a language dies. By 2100, more than half of the 7,000 languages spoken on Earth will likely disappear, taking with them a wealth of knowledge about history, culture, the natural environment, and how the human brain works.Language defines a culture. Words that describe a particular cultural practice or idea rarely translate precisely into another language. Many endangered languages have rich oral cultures with stories, songs, and histories passed on to younger generations, but no written forms. With the disappearance of a language, an entire culture is lost.Much of what humans know about nature is expressed only in oral languages. Indigenous (土著) groups that have interacted closely with the natural world for thousands of years often have deep insights into local lands, plants, animals, and ecosystems (生态系统). Studying indigenous languages therefore benefits environmental understanding.Studying various languages also increases our understanding of how humans communicate and store knowledge. Every time a language dies, we lose part of the picture of what our brains can do.Throughout human history, the languages of powerful groups have spread while the languages of smaller cultures have become extinct. As big languages spread, children whose parents speak a small language often grow up learning the big language. Those children or their children may never learn the smaller language,, or they may forget it as it falls out of use. This has occurred throughout human history, but the rate of language disappearance has quickened dramatically in recent years.31. When a language dies, what will also disappear together with it?A) History and wealth of human beings. B) Much of knowledge of human beings.C) The way the human brain works. D) The natural environment of the world.32. Most of the time. it is impossible to ___________A) translate words from one language into another languageB) say exactly the same thing about culture in two languagesC) pass the rich oral culture from one generation to the nextD) understand the written forms of old stories, songs, and histories33. According to the passage, indigenous people ____________A) paid little attention to the ecosystems several thousand years agoB) have no way to keep the knowledge they gained overtimeC) know a great deal about their natural environmentD) give little help to the environmentalists in protecting nature34. Which of the following best explains the word "extinct" in the last paragraph?A) Fast developing. B) Never changing. C) Widely spreading. D) No longer existing.35. What does the passage say about the languages of smaller cultures?A) They are often replaced by big languages.B) Parents do not use a small language at all.C) Children have no chance to learn them from parents.D) They have been dropping out at the same speed.Passage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.When a group of children politely stop a conversation with you, saying: “We have to go to work now,” you’re left feeling surprised and certainly uneasy. After all, this is the 1990s and the idea of children working is just unthinkable. That is, until you are told that they are all pupils of stage schools, and that the “work” they go off to is to go on the stage in a theatre.Stage schools often act as agencies to supply children for stage and television work. More worthy of the same “stage school” are those few places where children attend full time, with a training for the theatre and a general education.A visit to such schools will leave you in no doubt that the children enjoy themselves. After all, what lively children wouldn't settle for spending only half the day doing ordinary school work, and acting, singing or dancing their way through the other half of the day?Then of course there are times for the children to make a name and make a little money in some big shows. Some stage schools give their children too much professional work at such a young age. But the law is very tight on the amount they can do. Those under 13 are limited to 40 days in the year; those over 13 do 80 days.The schools themselves admit that not all children will be successful in the profession for which they are being trained. So what happens to those who don't make it? While all the leading schools say they place great importance on children getting good study results, the facts seem to suggest this is not always the case.36. People would stop feeling uneasy when realizing that the children they are talking to _______.A. attend a stage schoolB. are going to the theatreC. have got some work to doD. love singing and dancing37. In the writer’s opinion, a good stage school should _________.A. produce star performersB. help pupils improve their study skillsC. train pupils in language and performing artsD. provide a general education and stage training38. “Professional work” as used in the text means__________.A. ordinary school workB. money-making performancesC. stage training at schoolD. acting, singing or dancing after class39. Which of the following best describes how they writer feels about stage schools? _________.A. he thinks highly of what they have to offerB. He favors an early start in the training of performing artsC. he feels uncomfortable about children putting on night showsD. He doubts the standard of ordinary education they have received40. The law is tight on the amount of professional work children can do. According to the passage,those under 13 are limited to ___________.A. 30 days in a yearB. 40 days in a yearC. 60 days in a yearD. 80 days in a yearPassage ThreeQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.Most people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. This kind of loneliness is not serious. In fact, it is quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness can last for years. Now researchers say there are three different types of loneliness.The first kind of loneliness is temporary. This is the most common type. It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention. The second kind, situational loneliness, is a natural result of a particular situation—for example, a family problem, the death of a loved one, or moving to a new place. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually does not last for more than a year.The third type of loneliness is the most severe. Unlike the second type, chronic(长期的)loneliness usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause. People who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing and becoming close to others. Unfortunately, many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.Psychologists agree that one important factor in loneliness is a person’s social contacts, e.g. friends, family members, co-workers, etc. We depend on various people for different reasons. Forinstance, our families give us emotional support, our parents and teachers give us guidance, and our friends share similar interests and activities. However, psychologists have found that, though lonely people may have many social contacts, they sometimes feel they should have more. They question their own popularity.Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons: they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness such as heart disease. While temporary and situational loneliness can a normal healthy part of life, chronic loneliness can be a very sad, and sometimes dangerous, condition.41. How would you treat temporary loneliness according to the passage?A. Talk to friends.B. Just ignore it.C. Go to see a doctor.D. Ask your teachers for guidance.42. “It” in the last sentence of the second paragraph refers to________.A. temporary lonelinessB. situational lonelinessC. a new placeD. sleeplessness43. The topic of the 4th paragraph is that _________.A. one problem of loneliness is a person’s social contactsB. we depend on various people for different reasonsC. lonely people don’t have many social problemsD. lonely people don't have many friends44. Why do psychologists want to help chronically lonely people? _________.A. Chronic loneliness can cause family problemsB. Chronic loneliness can cause serious illnessC. Chronic loneliness can not be overcomeD. A, B and C are all correct45. What is the best title for the passage? __________.A. Three Kinds of LonelinessB. Loneliness and DiseasesC. Loneliness and Social ContactsD. Chronic LonelinessPart IV Cloze (5%, ) ( 10 minutes)Directions: There are 10 blanks in the following passages.

You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passages.Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line throughthe center.It is important to be active in communication.

For each question there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer to each of the questions.Passage OneThe food we eat seems to have profound(深远的)effects on our health. Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps forty percent of cancer is related to the diet as well, especially cancer of the colon. Different cultures are more prone to contract certain illnesses because of the food that is characteristic in these cultures. That food related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, government researchers realized that nitrates and nitrites, commonly used to preserve color in meats, and other food additives, caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful.The additives(添加剂)which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to beef and poultry, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows. Sometimes similar drugs are administered to animals not for medicinal purposes, but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue.28. What is the main topic of the passage?A. Food and our healthB.

Y ou could take it into a store and buy a television set or new furniture or clothing or anything you wanted. All you would have to do is to sign your name and take what you wanted out of the store without paying cash.But there is a problem with the cards---they can be financial poison. These cards are just like the poisons we use on insects. If we use them carefully, they can be helpful; but if we use them too much, they can kill us. These cards can kill us financially just as real poison can kill our body.For any money that the user does not pay each month, the credit card company charges a percentage of that amount in interest(利息). The insect is added every month, so a bill that is not paid gets bigger and bigger.Over 10 percent of the families in the United States are “overextended”. That is, they have more debt on their credit cards than they can pay.Credit cards can be used for almost anything that money can buy. And they can even be used to pay for funerals.

Clearly, what you need first of all is an idea which you can develop into a strong plot. But where do ideas like this come from? The answer is "anywhere and everywhere." They may come from something that has happened to you or to someone else, from a newspaper, an interesting picture, or even a song. It's a good idea to keep a notebook nearby so that you can write down the details of any odd incidents which catch your imagination. Make a note of ideas for titles too, and any special phrases or descriptions that you think of. A small tape recorder can prove useful for this purpose. Some writers even keep one by their bed in case they wake up with the "idea of the century".Another method of developing the story is to make use of the characters themselves. Why not try putting three people you know well into a situation such as a wedding, where feelings may be very strong, and see what happens. But don't make the final characters too much like your Aunt Jane or Uncle Jim or you may find yourself in real trouble. Questions:1. What should you do, first of all, if you want to write a successful story?(Find a good idea which can be developed into a strong plot.)2. Where do these good ideas come from?(They may come from something that has happened to you or to someone else, from a newspaper, an interesting picture, or even a song.)3. What's the use of a small tape recorder?(You won't miss any great idea if you have a tape recorder with you.)。

1Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English. You should write your answer on Answer Sheet 2.中国的传统节庆膳食是节日必不可少的伴侣。

例如,我国的端午节(the Dragon Boat Festival)是纪念古代诗人屈原的日子。

那一天,人们通常要赛龙舟、吃粽子(zongzi)。

中秋节是观赏满月的日子。

圆圆的月亮象征着圆满,象征着家庭团聚。

因此,中秋节(The Mid-autumn Festival)的特制食品是一种圆形的月饼。

春节是中国的农历新年(the Chinese lunar New Year’s holiday),除了常见的家禽和肉类之外,人们还要按各自的地方习俗烹制传统食物,如铰子和年糕。

参考答案Traditional Chinese holiday meals are indispensable on some festivals. For example, the Dragon Boat Festival is a day established in memory of the ancient poet Qu Yuan and people usually hold dragon boat races and eat zongzi, or rice dumpling on that day. The Mid-autumn Festival is an occasion for viewing the full moon. The round moon is a symbol for completeness and family reunion. The special food of the day is yuebing, a round cake known as the mooncake. The Spring Festival is the Chinese lunar New Year’s holiday. Besides the popular poultry and meat, people cook traditional food according to regional customs, for example, jiaozi, or boiled dumplings, and niangao, or the “ 1 ” new year cake .难点精析■ 1.中国的传统节庆膳食:翻译为Traditional Chinese holiday meals,其中“节庆膳食”直接译为holiday meals , 即可,翻译时注意“中国的”和“传统”的顺序。

At the end of each conversation, you will hear some questions. Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1with a single line through the centre.Conversation OneW: Hello.M: Hello, is that the reference library?W: Yes. Can I help you?M: I hope so. I rang earlier and asked for some information about Denys Hawtin, the scientist. You asked me to ring back.W: Oh, yes. I have found something.M: Good. I’ve got a pencil and paper. Perhaps you could read out what it says.W: Certainly. Hawtin, Denys. Born: Darlington 1836; died New York 1920.M: Yes. Got that.W: Inventor and physicist. The son of a farm worker, he was admitted to the University of London at the age of fifteen.M: Yes.W: He graduated at seventeen with a first class degree in Physics and Mathematics. All right?M: Yes, all right.W: He made his first notable achievement at the age of eighteen. It was a method of refrigeration which arose from his work in low temperature physics. He became professor of Mathematics at the University of Manchester at twenty-four, where he remained for twelve years. During that time he married one of his students, Natasha Willoughby.M: Yes. Go on.W: Later, working together in London, they laid the foundation of modern Physics by showing that normal laws of cause and effect do not apply at the level of subatomic particles. For this he and his wife received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1910, and did so again in 1912 for their work on very high frequencyradio waves. In his lifetime Hawtin patented 244 inventions. Do you want any more?M: Yes. When did he go to America?W: Let me see. In 1920 he went to teach in New York, and died there suddenly after only three weeks. Still, he was a good age.M: Yes. I suppose so. Well, thanks.Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.1. What do we learn about Denys Hawtin when he was 15?2. What did Denys Hawtin do at the age of 24?3. For what were Denys Hawtin and his wife awarded the Nobel Prize a second time?4. Why did Denys Hawtin go to New York?Conversation TwoW: This is Lisa Meyer in the WBZ newsroom, talking with Mike Bassichis, who is the director of the Gifford School, about the cleanup from last week’s fire and what the possible cause of that blaze may have been.M: We’re getting ready for our entire staff to return early from vacation tomorrow whereupon we are going to move into temporary classrooms. And the other buildings that did not burn are being de-smoked. As to the cause of the fire, all we know is that we were having trouble with the pilot lights since we bought the stove in July and it had been serviced three times. Well, as a matter of fact, we think it was a malfunctioning stove that may have caused the fire. Nothing definite yet has been determined.W: Have you heard from other schools or other institutional users of this stove that have had the same problem?M: No. I wouldn’t know anything more about the stove itself. All I know is that this fire went up so quickly that there’s been a suspicion about why it went up so quickly. And it may be that there was a gas blast. But, again, this has not been determined officially by anybody.W: I got you. When do kids come back to school?M: Next Monday, and we will be ready for them. Monday January 4. We’re just extremely thrilled that no one was hurt and that’s because of the fire fighters that were here, nine of them. They’re wonderful.W: And I’m sure you send your thanks out to them, uh?M: Well, we’re sending out thanks to them in a letter or in any other way we can. I heard a story today where one of our kids actually baked some cookies and is taking it to the fire department, to give it to them.Questions 5 to 8 are based on the conversation you have just heard.5. What were the speakers talking about?6. What were the school staff doing at the time of the accident?7. What was supposed to be the cause of the accident?8. What did one of the kids do to show gratitude?Section BDirections: In this section, you will hear two passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1with a single line through the centre.Passage OneIn today’s personality stakes, nothing is more highly valued than a sense of humor. We seek it out in others and are proud to claim it in ourselves, perhapseven more than good looks or intelligence. If someone has a great sense of humor, we reason, it means that they are happy, socially confident and have a healthy perspective on life.This attitude would have surprised the ancient Greeks, who believed humor to be essentially aggressive. And in fact, our admiration for the comically gifted is relatively new, and not very well-founded, says Rod Martin, a psychologist at the University of Western Ontario. Being funny isn’t necessarily an indicator of good social skills and well-being, his research has shown. It may just as likely be a sign of personality flaws.He has found that humor is a double-edged sword. It can forge better relationships and help you cope with life, or it can be corrosive, eating away at self-esteem and irritating others. “It’s a form of communication, like speech, and we all use it differently,”says Martin. We use bonding humor to enhance our social connections, but we also may employ it as a way of excluding or rejecting an outsider.Though humor is essentially social, how you use it says a lot about your sense of self. Those who use self-defeating humor, making fun of themselves for the enjoyment of others, tend to maintain that hostility toward themselves even when alone. Similarly, those who are able to view the world with amused tolerance are often equally forgiving of their own shortcomings.Questions 9 to 11 are based on the passage you have just heard.9. How do people today view humor according to the speaker?10. What did the ancient Greeks think of humor?11. What has psychologist Rod Martin found about humor?Passage Two (female voice)And now, if you’ll walk this way, ladies and gentlemen, the next room we’re going to see is the room in which the family used to hold their formal dinner parties and even occasionally entertain heads of state and royalty. However, they managed to keep this room friendly and intimate and I think you’ll agree it has a very informal atmosphere, quite unlike some grand houses you visit. The curtains were never drawn, even at night, so guests got a view of the lake and fountains outside, which were lit up at night. A very attractive sight.As you can see, ladies and gentlemen, the guests were seated very informally around this oval table, which would add to the relaxed atmosphere. The table dates from the eighteenth century and is made of Spanish oak. It’s rather remarkable for the fact that although it is extremely big, it’s supported by just six rather slim legs. However, it seems to have survived like that for two hundred years, so it’s probably going to last a bit longer. The chairs which go with the table are not a complete set—there were originally six of them. Theyare interesting for the fact that they are very plain and undecorated for the time, with only one plain central panel at the back and no arm-rests. I myself find them rather uncomfortable to sit in for very long, but people were used to more discomfort in the past.And now, ladies and gentlemen, if you’d like to follow me into the Great Hall …Questions 12 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.12. What do we learn about the speaker?13. What does the speaker say about the room they are visiting?14. What is said about the oval table in the room?15. What does the speaker say about the chairs?Section CDirections: In this section, you will hear recordings of lectures or talks followed by some questions. The recordings will be played only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the centre.Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 16 to 19.Moderator:Hello Ladies and Gentleman, it gives me great pleasure to introduce our keynote speaker for today’s session, Dr. Howard Miller. Dr. Miller, Professor of Sociology at Washington University, has written numerous articles and books on the issues facing older Americans in our graying society for the past 15 years. Dr. Miller:Dr. Miller:Thank you for that introduction. Today, I’d like to preface my remarks with a story from my own life which I feel highlights the common concerns that bring us here together. Several years ago when my grandparents were well into their eighties, they were faced with the reality of no longer being able to adequately care for themselves. My grandfather spoke of his greatest fear, that of leaving the only home they had known for the past 60 years. Fighting back the tears, he spoke proudly of the fact that he had built their home from the ground up, and that he had pounded every nail and laid every brick in the process. The prospect of having to sell their home and give up their independence, and move into a retirement home was an extremely painful experience for them. It was, in my grandfather’s own words, like having a limbcut off. He exclaimed in a forceful manner that he felt he wasn’t important anymore.For them and some older Americans, their so-called “golden years”are at times not so pleasant, for this period can mean the decline of not only one’s health but the loss of identity and self-worth. In many societies, thisself-identity is closely related with our social status, occupation, material possessions, or independence. Furthermore, we often live in societies that value what is “new”or in fashion, and our own usage of words in the English language is often a sign of bad news for older Americans. I mean how would your family react if you came home tonight exclaiming, “Hey, come to the living room and see the OLD black and white TV I brought!”Unfortunately, the word “old”calls to mind images of the need to replace or discard.Now, many of the lectures given at this conference have focused on the issues of pension reform, medical care, and the development of public facilities for senior citizens. And while these are vital issues that must be addressed, I’d like to focus my comments on an important issue that will affect the overall success of the other programs mentioned. This has to do with changing our perspectives on what it means to be a part of this group, and finding meaningful roles the elderly can play and should play in our societies.First of all, I’d like to talk about . . .16. What does the introduction say about Dr. Howard Miller’s articles and books?17. What is the greatest fear of Dr. Miller’s grandfather?18. What does Dr. Miller say the “golden years”can often mean?19. What is the focus of Dr. Miller’s speech?Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 20 to 22.The 2010 Global Hunger Index report was released today by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI). It notes that, in recent years, experts have come to the conclusion that undernourishment between conception and a child’s second birthday can have serious and long-lasting impacts.Undernourishment during this approximately 1,000-day window can seriously check the growth and development of children and render them more likely to get sick and die than well-fed children. Preventing hunger allows children to develop both physically and mentally.Says IFPRI’s Marie Ruel, “They will be more likely to perform well in school. They will stay in school longer. And then at adulthood, IFPRI has actuallydemonstrated that children who were better nourished have higher wages, by a pretty large margin, by 46 percent.”Ruel says that means the productivity of a nation’s future generations depends in a large part on the first 1,000 days of life.“This is why we’re all on board in focusing on those thousand days to improve nutrition. After that, the damage is done and is highly irreversible.”The data on nutrition and childhood development has been slowly coming together for decades. But Ruel says scientific consensus alone will not solve the problem.“It’s not enough that nutritionists know you have to intervene then, if we don’t have the politicians on board, and also the...people that implement [programs] in the field.”Ruel says there are encouraging signs that politicians and implementers are beginning to get on board. Many major donors and the United Nations are targeting hunger-relief programs at pregnant women and young children. They focus on improving diets or providing micro-food supplements. They improve access to pre-birth care and encourage exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of a child’s life.Ruel says in the 1980s Thailand was able to reduce child undernourishment by recruiting a large number of volunteers to travel the countryside teaching about health and nutrition.“They really did very active promotion of diversity in the diet and good eating habits. So they were providing more food to people, but also educating people on how to use them, and also educating people on how to feed their young children.”Ruel says countries may take different approaches to reducing child undernutrition. But she says nations will not make progress fighting hunger and poverty until they begin to focus on those critical first thousand days.20. What is the experts’conclusion regarding children’s undernourishment in their earliest days of life?21. What does IFPRI’s Marie Ruel say about well-fed children in their adult life?22. What did Thailand do to reduce child undernourishment in the 1980s?Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 23 to 25.I’d like to look at a vital aspect of e-commerce, and that is the nature of the product or service. There are certain products and services that are very suitable for selling online, and others that simply don’t work.Suitable products generally have a high value-to-weight ratio. Items such as CDs and DVDs are obvious examples. Books, although heavier and so more expensive to post, still have a high enough value-to-weight ratio, as the success of Amazon, which started off selling only books, shows. Laptop computers are another good product for selling online.Digital products, such as software, films and music, can be sold in a purely virtual environment. The goods are paid for by online transactions, and then downloaded onto the buyer’s computer. There are no postage or delivery costs, so prices can be kept low.Many successful virtual companies provide digital services, such as financial transactions, in the case of Paypal, or means of communication, as Skype does. The key to success here is providing an easy-to-use, reliable service. Do this and you can easily become the market leader, as Skype has proved.Products which are potentially embarrassing to buy also do well in the virtual environment. Some of the most profitable e-commerce companies are those selling sex-related products or services. For a similar reason, online gambling is highly popular.Products which are usually considered unsuitable for selling online include those that have a taste or smell component. Food, especially fresh food, falls into this category, along with perfume. Clothes and other items that need to be tried on such as diamond rings and gold necklaces are generally not suited to virtual retailing, and, of course, items with a low value-to-weight ratio.There are exceptions, though. Online grocery shopping has really taken off, with most major supermarkets offering the service. The inconvenience of not being able to see the food you are buying is outweighed by the time saved and convenience of having the goods delivered. Typical users of online supermarkets include the elderly, people who work long hours and those without their own transport.23 What is important to the success of an online store?24. What products are unsuitable for selling online?25. Who are more likely to buy groceries online?参考答案Part II Listening ComprehensionSection A1. C2. B3. C4. D5. D6. B7. A8. CSection B9. D 10. B 11.

One Man's Experiment in Living without Money1 For most of us it seems that money makes the world go round.2 But not for Mark Boyle, who has turned his life into a radical experiment and pledged(发誓)to live without cash, credit cards, loans or any other form of finance.3 The British economics graduate was inspired by Gandhi's call to be the change you want to see in the world. After six years working as the manager of an organic food company in Bristol, UK, he decided to strike out in a bold new direction.4 "I was sitting around with a friend one night in 2007 discussing the world's problems, and we were trying to work out which one to dedicate our lives to helping solve," he told CNN.5 "Then it hit me, at the root of it all was money, which creates a kind of disconnection between us and our actions, whether that's through sweatshops, industrial agriculture, or war, and so I decided to see if it was possible to do without."6 Mark sold his houseboat and set about preparing himself for his new life. He posted an advert on Freecycle asking for a tent, a yurt (圆顶帐篷), a caravan (可供居住的拖车)or any other type of shelter and was immediately rewarded by his first taste of human kindness.7 Then a friend made him a cheap wood-burning stove from an old gas can to heat the caravan, and with a few other budget purchases, including solar panels (太阳能电池板) and a trailer (拖车) for his bike, he was ready to go.8 His food would be cooked on a rocket stove made from two old catering tins (餐盒), and he would wash in a solar shower, essentially a black plastic bag suspended from a tree, and warmed by the sun.9 His lavatory would be a hole in the ground screened by a wooden modesty structure to protect the sensibilities of any walkers using a nearby footpath.10 Then, with his pockets empty -- he didn't even carry keys as he decided not to lock his caravan and start trusting the world a bit more -- Mark was ready to go.11 Everything was about to change.12 Even breakfast on the first day would be different, with morning coffee no longer an option, and the ingredients for his breakfast beverage now gathered in the hedges (篱笆) around his caravan.13 "I drink nettle and cleaver tea (荨麻与猪殃殃泡成的茶) , sometimes with some fresh lemon verbena (防臭木) when I find it," he says.14 Although it hasn't always been easy, and there have been many challenges and sacrifices, 18 months later, Mark is still living this way. He told CNN he has really loved it and never been happier or fitter.15 Mark's remarkable journey is relayed in his new book, "The Moneyless Man", which along with detailing the practical challenges on the rocky road towards his new world, also explains the philosophy that drives him that human society is fairer, happier and more secure when relationships are not mediated (以…为媒介) by money.16 Any profits from the book will be invested in buying land to create a "Freeconomy community", where people can experiment living together without money.17 Public interest in his project has been divided. While a huge number of people are very supportive, there has been harsh criticism of him, particularly on Internet forums.18 "People tend to be either very positive about what I'm doing or very negative; I think it's about 70 percent/30 percent. But I try not to get too worked up about it; it’s early days and we live in a very money orientated world."19 Of course not everyone can, or is ready to, live like Mark -- a point he is happy to concede.But he does believe people can live more like him, and be happier as a result.20 "There's no one solution for everyone, and everyone has different needs," says Mark.21 "It's about reducing your consumption however that is appropriate for you, and there are lots of small ways people can do that which will benefit themselves and the environment, like car sharing."22 With this in mind, he put the money from the sale of his houseboat towards setting up , a social networking Web site that aims to help reconnect people in their local communities through the simple act of sharing.23 So far Mark's adventure without money has taught him a lot, and he has inspired many others along the way, but he remains philosophical about his success.24 "I just get up each morning and try and say if it happens, it happens," he says.25 "I'm just trying to take life as it comes and enjoy it along the way."(803 words)For questions 46-50, chooseA) (for YES) if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage;B) (for NO) if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage;C) (for NOT GIVEN) if the information is not given in the passage.46.

The tone of the passage can best be described as _________.A) admiringB) criticalC) ironicD) partialPassage TwoQuestions 56 to 65 are based on the following passage.1 Hemingway was working on A Farewell (永别,再见) to Arms, and they were traveling a great deal--fishing on the rented Anita and then on Hemingway's beloved boat the Pilar from Havana, Bimini, and Key West; sporting vacations in Montana and Wyoming; family visits to Oak Park and Pauline's family home in Piggott, Arkansas. It was also a family time. In June 1928 their son Patrick was born in Kansas City. After a visit to Oak Park, Hemingway worried about his father's health. Clarence was very depressed, and just before Christmas, he shot himself. A hurting Hemingway finished A Farewell to Arms, and it was successful. Again he had turned his experiences into powerful fiction. "If people bring so much courage to this world the world has to kill them to break them, so of course it kills them," Lt. Frederic Henry reflects. "This is one of the most beautiful pages in all English literature," F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote of this page of the manuscript (手稿,草稿). The writing, the friendships, and the family relationships continued.2 Hemingway's lean (清晰的,简洁的), disciplined style made the writing and the living seem simple. He focused on one point and wrote very clearly about that point. But if we put all the stories together, all the pieces, a very complex picture emerges. Neither the living nor the writing was easy. "There's no rule on how it is to write," Hemingway wrote his editor Charles Poore in 1953. "Sometimes it comes easily and perfectly. Sometimes it is like drilling rock and thenblasting (爆破) it out with charges (炸药)." Because A Farewell to Arms was being serialized in Scribner's Magazine, Hemingway had six months to struggle with the ending. He left forty-four pages of alternate (不同的) endings, a record even for the meticulous (细致的,挑剔的)Hemingway, who would write out or retype a page until he was satisfied with it. Fitzgerald sent Hemingway ten handwritten pages of comments on the draft of the novel, and Hemingway's response was "Kiss my ass."3 Pauline and Hemingway's second son, Gregory, was born in November 1931. The intimate side of Hemingway as son, husband, father, and successful big brother is revealed in his letters to his family. He was very much involved in their lives and concerned about their welfare, often more than they wished. He gave financial support and unsolicited (主动提供的)advice. He was sometimes heavy-handed, especially with his sisters and his sons, but he always cared.4 As with his friends, he formed strong feelings for or against the people his family were involved with. He would have four wives and divorce three times, but he felt he was right when he strongly objected to the man his sister Carol wished to marry. When she went ahead with the marriage, Hemingway broke with her for the rest of his life. (The marriage lasted.)5 In 1933 Pauline's wealthy Uncle Gus gave them a safari (旅行,狩猎旅行)to Africa. Hemingway was "totally captivated (征服)by the prospect and made endless preparations." The safari lasted only ten weeks but had a great impact on Hemingway. "Everything he saw seemed to have made an indelible (深刻的,不可磨灭的)impression on him," and he used his experiences as the basis for his nonfictional account of big game hunting, Green Hills of Africa, and some of his finest stories including "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" and "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber."6 "I want to run as a writer; not as a man who had been to the wars; nor a bar room fighter; nora shooter; nor a horseplayer; nor a drinker. I would like to be a straight writer and be judged as such," Hemingway wrote in 1950. Perhaps. But he enjoyed the celebrity, encouraged it, and recorded it. The experience, interests, and celebrity were the raw material for the writing, but more than that he internalized (内化)it all, and the celebrity, the actor, the active participant, and the writer were fused (融合)into one being without boundaries. He rewrote himself, reimagined himself, refabricated (再加工,再整合)himself for himself and for others, emphasizing all those other things that he did "run as" and did as enthusiastically as he did his writing.7 A lifelong sportsman, he saw his first bullfight in Madrid in 1923. According to the two friends he was with, Bob McAlmon and Bill Bird, "he was overwhelmed (被震撼)by the bullfight experience, so much so that for a time he could talk of nothing else." He began an exhaustive (详细的)study of bullfighting. He saved everything he could about bullfighting--newspapers, ticket stubs (票根), embroidered (镶边的)postcards picturing matadors (斗牛士), programs, posters (海报). His 1932 treatise (论文)on bullfighting, Death in the Afternoon, is still the most comprehensive study of the sport in the English language. Such an intensive study was typical of Hemingway. He had a "natural, sometimes almost competitive tendency to find out everything he could about any subject that interested him." He greatly admired professionals in whatever arena.8 The Spanish Civil War broke out in July 1936. Hemingway supported the Loyalist side and followed the war with great interest. In 1937 he went to Spain to cover the war as a correspondent (记者)for the North American Newspaper Alliance ("Hemingway Sees Dead Strewing (散步,散播)Battlefield," "A New Kind of War," "The Chauffeurs (司机)of Madrid," "A Brush with Death," "Hemingway Finds Madrid Calmly Fighting Own War"). He translated this experience into seven more short stories, the novel For Whom the Bell Tolls, and the play The Fifth Column.9 In Sloppy Joe's in December 1936, Hemingway met a lovely young novelist and journalist from St. Loui s—Martha Gellhorn (called Marty). As the friendship developed, Martha spent so much time at the Hemingway house that, as she wrote Pauline, "she nearly became a fixture (机器装置)there, 'like a kudu (非洲大羚羊)head.'" By the end of March, Martha had made it to Spain, too, and she and Hemingway both covered the war. The affair continued until their marriage November 5, 1940, the day after Pauline's divorce from Hemingway became final.10 After their marriage, with assignments for Martha from Collier's and for Hemingway from PM, Martha and Hemingway traveled to China to cover the war there. This time, Martha was the prime mover (发动者). "On this super horror journey," Martha recounted (叙述)in her 1978 travel memoir (回忆录), Travels with Myself and Another, "I wheedled (哄骗)an Unwilling Companion, hereinafter referred to as U.C., into going where he had no wish to go. . . . That was scandalous (罪恶的)selfishness on my part, never repeated." U.C. did not have a good time. "U.C. could not bear party chatter (喋喋不休), or discussions of politics or the arts, but never tired of true life stories, the more unlikely the better. He was able to sit with a bunch of men for most of a day or most of a night, or most of both day and night though perhaps with different men, wherever he happened to have started sitting, all of them fortified (加强的) by a continuous supply of drink, the while he roared with laughter at reminiscences (回忆) and anecdotes. It was a valid system for him. Aside from being his form of amusement, he learned about a place and people through the eyes and experiences of those who lived there."For questions 56-60, chooseA) (for YES) if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage;B) (for NO) if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage;C) (for NOT GIVEN) if the information is not given in the passage.56.

You should put your answers on Answer SheetTwo.Caution:There are more headings than paragraphs, so you will not use all of theheadings in the list.1 IN MOST parts of the world, climate change is a worrying subject. Not so in California. At a recent gathering of green luminaries(n. 发光体,权威者,著名的知识份子) —in a film star's house, naturally, for that is how seriousness is often established in Los Angeles—the dominant note was self-satisfaction at what the state has already achieved. And perhaps nobody is more smug than Arnold Schwarzenegger. Unlike Al Gore, a presidential candidate turned prophet (n. 预言者, 先知, 提倡者) of environmental doom, California's governor sounds cheerful when talking about climate change. As well he might: it has made his political career.2 Although California has long been an environmentally-conscious state, until recently greens were concerned above all with smog and redwood trees. “Coast of Dreams”, Kevin Starr's authoritative history of contemporary California, published in 2004, does not mention climate change. In that year, though, the newly-elected Mr Schwarzenegger made his first tentative call for western states to seek alternatives to fossil fuels. Gradually he noticed that his efforts to tackle climate change met with less resistance, and more acclaim, than just about all his other policies. These days it can seem as though he works on nothing else.3 Mr Schwarzenegger's transformation from screen warrior to eco-warrior was completed last year when he signed a bill imposing legally-enforceable limits on greenhouse-gas emissions—a first for America. The bill, which is just 13 pages long, obliges California to cut its emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. That alone is ambitious, considering that the state's population is expected to increase by 42% in the period. But Mr Schwarzenegger has set up two other targets. He wants the state to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions to 2000 levels by 2010, and to slash them to 80% below 1990 levels by 2050.4 Thanks mostly to its lack of coal and heavy industry, California is a relatively clean state. If it were a country it would be the world's eighth-biggest economy, but only its 16th-biggest polluter. Its big problem is transport—meaning, mostly, cars and trucks, which account for more than 40% of its greenhouse-gas emissions (see chart) compared with 32% in America as a whole. The state wants to ratchet (n. 棘轮(棘齿) vt 安装棘轮于(松脱)) down emissions limits on new vehicles, beginning in 2009. Mr Schwarzenegger has also ordered that, by 2020, vehicle fuel must produce 10% less carbon: in the production as well as the burning, so a simple switch to corn-based ethanol is probably out.5 Californians of the future will also be expected to use cleaner electricity. The state subsidises solar power, with the intention of creating a million power-generating roofs within ten years. It has, in effect, banned electricity companies from signing long-term contracts with coal-fired power stations, and plans to buy from cleaner sources. In 2002 Gray Davis, then the Democratic governor, signed a bill that committed the state to obtaining a fifth of its power from renewable sources, not including nuclear or large hydro-electric power stations, by 2017. Last year, in a typically cocky (a. 骄傲的, 自大的, 太过自信的) gesture, the deadline was brought forward to 2010.6 All of which is a welcome change from business as usual. California has not just inspired other states; it has created a vanguard (n. 前锋, 先锋, 先驱) that ought to be able to prod (n. 刺针,刺棒,签子v. 戳,刺,刺激) the federal government into stronger national standards than it would otherwise consider. But California is finding it easier to export its policies than to put them into practice at home.7 The state's first hurdle (n. 障碍[计算机] 障碍), which requires it to generate a fifth of its electricity from renewable sources in three years' time, now seems impossibly high. Last year it managed just 11%. Although the energy companies are eagerly signing up wind and sun farmers, there is simply not enough supply out there—at least, at the price the companies want to pay. Meanwhile, the plan to install solar roofs on houses has been stymied (n. 困难境地vt 使...处于。

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, andD. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on theAnswer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Not everyone in the world requires the same amount of living space. The amount of space a person needs around him is a cultural difference, not an economic one. Knowing your own psychological space needs is important because they strongly affect your choices, including, for example, the number of bedrooms in the home. If you were brought up in a two-child family and both you and your sister or brother had your own bedrooms, the chances are, if you have two children or more, that you also will offer separate bedrooms for them. In America, for example, they train people to want to have their own rooms by giving them their own rooms when they are babies. This is very rare in the world. In many other countries, the baby sleeps in the same bed with his parents or in bed near them.The space in the home also shows a lot about psychological space needs. Some families gather closer to each other and the size of their house has nothing to do with it. Others have separate little corners where family members go to be alone.Although it is true that psychological space needs are not decided by economic reasons, they sometimes have to be changed a little because of economic pressures. It is almost impossible, however, to completely change your psychological space needs.31. The first sentence in Para.1 “Not everyone in the world requires the same amount of living space” means “__________”.A. No two people need exactly the same amount of living spaceB. Living space requirements are not always the sameC. The world requires the same amount of living spaceD. Nobody needs a required amount of living space32. Some families gather closer to each other at home than others because _________.A. they have limited living spaceB. they are brought up in a large familyC. it satisfies their psychological space needsD. the children in the family sleep in the same bed with their parents33. Which of the following is TRIUE according to the passage? ________.A. Americans are trained to live in large rooms at birthB. Economic situation decides one’s amount to space needsC. People in various countries demand different psychological spaceD. Knowing your psychological space needs is important, as it affects your future34. According to the writer of the passage, psychological space needs _________.A. are not affected by income at allB. can hardly be changed altogetherC. can be changed if you make up your mind to do soD. have nothing to do with cultural background35. The best title for the passage is ________.A. American Way of LivingB. Psychological SpaceC. Space Needs in Different CountriesD. Psychological Space and Economic PressurePassage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.When a group of children politely stop a conversation with you, saying: “We have to go to work now,” you’re left feeling surprised and certainly uneasy. After all, this is the 1990s and the idea of children working is just unthinkable. That is, until you are told that they are all pupils of stage schools, and that the “work” they go off to is to go on the stage in a theatre.Stage schools often act as agencies to supply children for stage and television work. More worthy of the same “stage school” are those few places where children attend full time, with a training for the theatre and a general education.A visit to such schools will leave you in no doubt that the children enjoy themselves. After all, what lively children wouldn't settle for spending only half the day doing ordinary school work, and acting, singing or dancing their way through the other half of the day?Then of course there are times for the children to make a name and make a little money in some big shows. Some stage schools give their children too much professional work at such a young age. But the law is very tight on the amount they can do. Those under 13 are limited to 40 days in the year; those over 13 do 80 days.The schools themselves admit that not all children will be successful in the profession for which they are being trained. So what happens to those who don't make it? While all the leading schools say they place great importance on children getting good study results, the facts seem to suggest this is not always the case.36. People would stop feeling uneasy when realizing that the children they are talking to _______.A. attend a stage schoolB. are going to the theatreC. have got some work to doD. love singing and dancing37. In the writer’s opinion, a good stage school should _________.A. produce star performersB. help pupils improve their study skillsC. train pupils in language and performing artsD. provide a general education and stage training38. “Professional work” as used in the text means__________.A. ordinary school workB. money-making performancesC. stage training at schoolD. acting, singing or dancing after class39. Which of the following best describes how they writer feels about stage schools? _________.A. he thinks highly of what they have to offerB. He favors an early start in the training of performing artsC. he feels uncomfortable about children putting on night showsD. He doubts the standard of ordinary education they have received40. The law is tight on the amount of professional work children can do. According to the passage,those under 13 are limited to ___________.A. 30 days in a yearB. 40 days in a yearC. 60 days in a yearD. 80 days in a yearPassage ThreeQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.Most people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. This kind of loneliness is not serious. In fact, it is quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness can last for years. Now researchers say there are three different types of loneliness.The first kind of loneliness is temporary. This is the most common type. It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention. The second kind, situational loneliness, is a natural result of a particular situation—for example, a family problem, the death of a loved one, or moving to a new place. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually does not last for more than a year.The third type of loneliness is the most severe. Unlike the second type, chronic(长期的)loneliness usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause. People who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing and becoming close to others. Unfortunately, many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.Psychologists agree that one important factor in loneliness is a person’s social contacts, e.g. friends, family members, co-workers, etc. We depend on various people for different reasons. For instance, our families give us emotional support, our parents and teachers give us guidance, and our friends share similar interests and activities. However, psychologists have found that, though lonely people may have many social contacts, they sometimes feel they should have more. They question their own popularity.Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons: they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness such as heart disease. While temporary and situational loneliness can a normal healthy part of life, chronic loneliness can be a very sad, and sometimes dangerous, condition.41. How would you treat temporary loneliness according to the passage?A. Talk to friends.B. Just ignore it.C. Go to see a doctor.D. Ask your teachers for guidance.42. “It” in the last sentence of the second paragraph refers to________.A. temporary lonelinessB. situational lonelinessC. a new placeD. sleeplessness43. The topic of the 4th paragraph is that _________.A. one problem of loneliness is a person’s social contactsB. we depend on various people for different reasonsC. lonely people don’t have many social problemsD. lonely people don't have many friends44. Why do psychologists want to help chronically lonely people? _________.A. Chronic loneliness can cause family problemsB. Chronic loneliness can cause serious illnessC. Chronic loneliness can not be overcomeD. A, B and C are all correct45. What is the best title for the passage? __________.A. Three Kinds of LonelinessB. Loneliness and DiseasesC. Loneliness and Social ContactsD. Chronic LonelinessPart III Cloze (5%, 0.5*10, 5 minutes)Directions: There are 10 blanks in the following passages.

Many people would list San Francisco as one of the most delightful cities in the world. Sitting on the Pacific coast, it gives you a feeling of the sea. The sea breezes wake you up and make you eat well and sleep well. The city was planned with straight roads, and these roads cross each other at right angles, making squares as they do in many American cities. Very often you can find yourself on top of a hill in the city, looking down one of these straight roads as it rises and falls on its journey through the town. A good way to travel these roads is by cable car. These are buses that run on rails in the ground up and down the steep hills.

However, what I saw and what I remembered were not the same.I sadly realized that the best memories are those left untouched.My old apartment building, as I remember, was bright and alive. It was more than just a place to live. It was a movie house, a space station, or whatever my young mind could imagine. I would steal away with my friends and play in the basement. This was always exciting because it was so cool and dark, and there were so many things there to hide among. There was a small river in the back of the building. We would go there to lie in the shade of trees and enjoy ourselves.However, what I saw was completely different. The apartment building was now in disrepair. What was once more than a place to live looked hardly worth living in. The windows were all broken. The once clean walls were covered with dirty marks. The river was hardly recognizable. The water was polluted and the trees and flowers were all dead. The once sweet smelling river now smelled terrible. It was really heartbreaking to see all this.I do not regret having seen my old neighborhood. However, I do not think my innocent childhood memories can ever be the same. I suppose it is true when they say, "You can never go home again."41.

While fellow students are out with their friends, he keeps in touch with his business office in Lancashire by mobile phone.

In fact, I remember the evening I was at a girlfriend’s house, and we were watching a movie—a terribly romantic movie. He (the hero of the movie) was in love, she (his lady) was beautiful, and they were both smoking. My friend had only two cigarettes from a pack in her mother’s purse, and she gave one to me. It was my first time.My parents didn’t care much. They both smoked, and my older brother did too. My mother told me that smokers don’t grow tall, but I was already5’6”(taller than most of the boys in my class), so I was happy to hear that “fact”. In school, the teachers talked against smoking, but the cigarette advertisements were so exciting. The men in the ads were so good-looking and so successful, and the women were well, they were beautiful and sophisticated.I read a book called how to stop smoking. The writer said that smoking wastes time, and that cigarettes cost a lot of money. “So what”I thought, the book didn’t say that smoking can take away years of your life. But ten years later, everyone began to hear about the negative effects ofcigarette smoke: lung disease, cancer, and heart problems. After that, there was a health warning on every pack of cigarettes. I didn’t pay much attention to the reports and warnings. I felt healthy, and I thought I was taking good care of myself.Then two events changed my mind. First, I started to cough. I thought it was just a cold, but it didn’t get better. Second, my brother got lung cancer. He got sicker and sicker. My brother and I used to smoke cigarettes together over twenty years age, and we smoked our last cigarettes together the day before he died. I sat with him in his hospital room, and I decided to quit. “NO more cigarettes, ever,” I said to myself.However, it was very hard to stop, Nicotine is a drug; as a result, cigarettes cause a powerful addiction. I tried several times to quit on my own—without success. I made excuses. I told myself: Smoking helps me keep my figure—. I don’t gain weight when I smoke. Smoking not only relaxes me but it also helps me think clearly. I’m a free, liberated woman.I can smoke when I want to.Finally, I ran out of excuses—I might say my excuses went up in smoke.I joined the “Stop Smoking” program at the local hospital, which also ended up in failure.47.
