All of us will turn around some day and look back at our lives. We will 36 most of the memories and bonds we have with our loved 37 . As Mencius stated, those who don’t 38 their child’s heart have achieved one of life’s greatest callings, that of bonding 39 their children.
In a survey of over 2,000 primary school-age kids by Fathers Direct, kids were very clear on what they wanted from their 40 . They did not want 41 holidays, new bikes or computers. They wanted their fathers’ 42 . They wanted to play, to chat at bedtime, to get help with their homework, and to spend time “just 43 ” together. They wanted to be “known” and 44 by their fathers, and to know their fathers meanwhile.
This can be 45 in a country, in which, according to the Family and Work Institute, the 46 man works 49 hours per week, and the woman 47 works 43.5 hours per week. It’s difficult to do in a country, in which most of 48 at American businesses (67%) say they don’t have enough time with their 49 .
It is interesting to note that 50 kids want from their fathers is the same thing that fathers want for their kids. And it is the 51 thing researchers say that is best for kids. It is not just pockets of time 52 to the kids that we call “quality time(黄金时光)”. It is time!
As you look ahead at the choices you’ll 53 about your family, what are your priorities (首要事情)? What would you like your 54 with your kids to look like? For fathers who would like to 55 their child’s heart, the choices will be clear. And they’ll be clear to your children, who will remember them forever.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A
I get off the bus and walk a few blocks. I stop when I get to a garage-like place and walk to the metal door with brown paint. I turn the knob(把手)and walk in. A thousand eyes look at me as I take my place at the end of the long line. When I finally get up to the window, I hand the officer my ID. “I’m here to visit Mr C. Yes, I’m his daughter.”
I learn that line by heart. The officer hands me a piece of paper with my name as the visitor and my father’s as the prisoner. It tells me which floor to go to. As I get on the elevator, a rush of excitement runs through me. Then I go to the eighth floor, look around and see the faces I see here every Sunday and Thursday.
There he is. I stand on tiptoe(脚尖)to get a better view since I can hardly see him. He doesn’t look like my father. He’s got a beard now and he looks a lot weaker. He’s the dad that I see through a window. My dad who is separated from the world. The only place he now knows is his room in the prison. When I look deep into his eyes, I see emptiness and pain.
It’s difficult to hear him through the thick glass and over everyone else who is trying to talk. We try to carry on a normal conversation about simple things including my day and what I’m doing in school, but we mostly talk about how we can’t wait until he gets out. After an hour my time is up. We say our good-byes and love-yous.
I get on the bus to go home. My favorite place is where my father isrison. I know, how can prison be anyonea’s favorite place? But it is because my father is there. It’ll no longer be my favorite place once he gets out, thoughome will be.

Life assistance company CPP finds that Britons have lost 9 million wallets in last five yearsnd over 75% will not see them again. Research by UK life assistance firm CPP has found only one in five wallets is likely to be reaturned nd not always with all its contents.
Wherec’s your wallet right now? You’d better check because research reveals only one in every five lost wallets are returned to their owners in Britainven though three-fifths of Britons claim they would either hand it in to police or try to find the owner.
eThe research, made by life assistance company CPP, found that Britons—who carry an average of ￡85 in cash and ￡7,000 in credit in their wallets—have lost more than 9 million wallets and 765 million pounds in the past five years. More than three quarters of those who lose their wallets will never see them again, and most will spend over 110 hours replacing their credit cards.
In a nationwide experiment, CPP “dropped” 20 wallets containing ￡10 in cash, a photograph, tickets, stamps and several business cards in shopping centers, on public transport, in museums, cafes, and on the street in five cities: London, Leeds, Birmingham, Cardiff and Glasgow. Only two in ten of the wallets were returned to their owners and only around half of those(55%) contained the original sum of money.
According to the study, you can kiss your belongings goodbye if you lose your wallet in a cafe or on a train as none of the wallets “dropped” on public transport or while dining out were returned. But
you have a 47% chance of seeing your wallet again if you lose it in a museum, and a third of the wallets “ lost” in shopping centers were returned.
60. How many lost wallets are likely to be returned in the last five years?
A. About 6.75 million.
B. About 4.5 million.
C. About 2.25 million.

Do you have an area of your life that you feel powerless to create success? If we take some time to examine this area, we will undoubtedly find one or more excuses. Often we do not realize that we are making an excuse. Some of our excuses are obvious. These are excuses like “I haven’t got time” or “I am too busy”. Other excuses whisper quietly in our ears like “It is not my fault”, “I need this to happen before I can do my part” or “Business is bad everywhere”.
Excuses like these are our escape route that we rely on when taking the necessary action becomes too hard. They are our attempt to “excuse” ourselves from achieving our goals and being the responsible, wonderful, powerful people that we are! Excuses give our power over to something or somebody else and tear away our ability to create results. They sabotage our dreams for the future and keep us tied to the past. Our excuses have the ability to destroy our best laid plans and rob us of having a life we love. Take a few minutes to look back to a time when you achieved something you desiredhether in your personal life or perhaps in your career. You will probably find that you succeeded in this area because you did not allow yourself to use the excuses that you had used in the past.
I suggest that you take on an area of your lifue where you are not really making the progress you would really desire. List the TOP 5 excuses that you are using which are keeping you stuck. Take back your power and claim the life you truly desire. Another method is for you to stand in front of your mirror every day and tell your story and excuses to the mirror. I guarantee that within 30 days you will be so over your own stories and excuses that you will want to drop them immediately!
68. The first paragraph mainly tells us that .
A. most of our excuses are ridiculous
B. we shouldn’t do things that we are not good at
C. we shouldn’t make our excuses known by others
D. many excuses are created when we’re unable to do something
69. The underlined word “sabotage” in Paragraph 2 means “ ”.
A. realize
B. spoil
C. explain
D. follow
70. According to the author, .
A. finding excuses is not necessarily a bad thing
B. excuses always keep one away from success
C. excuses are not likely to stop us from creating results
D. people are usually clear when they’re making excuses
71. Which of the following can help us drop our excuses effectively?
A. Telling the excuses to other people.
B. Talking about our progress with others
C. Making a list of the major excuses in our life.
D. Looking at ourselves in the mirror every day.

The New York Times announced Wednesday that it intended to charge frequent readers for access to its
Web site, a step being debated across the industry that nearly every major newspaper has so far feared to take.
Starting in early 2011, visitors to will get a certain number of articles free every month before being asked to pay a flat fee for unlimited access. Subscribers to the newspaper’s print edition will receive full access to the site.
But executives(执行主管) of The New York Times Company said they could not yet answer fundamental questions about the plan, like how much it would cost or what the limit would be on free reading. They stressed that the amount of free access could change with time, in response to economic conditions and reader demand.
Still, publishers fear that income from digital subscriptions would not compensate for the resulting loss of audience and advertising revenue.
is by far the most popular newspaper site in the country, with more than 17 million readers a month in the United States, according to Nielsen Online, and analysts say it is easily the leader in advertising income, as well. That may make it better positioned than other general-interest papers to charge-and also gives The Times more to lose if the move backfires.
The Times Company has been studying the matter for almost a year, searching for common ground between pro-and anti-pay camps—a debate mirrored in dozens of media-watching blogs- and the system will not go into effect until January 2011. Executives said they were not bothered by the prospect of absorbing barbs for moving cautiously.
“There’s no prize for getting it quick,” said Janet L. Robinson, the company’s president and chief executive. “There’s more of a prize for getting it right.”
72. The first paragraph serves as a(n) .
A. conclusion
B. comment
C. lead-in
D. background
73. What does the underlined word “flat” mean in the second paragraph?
A. standard and fixed.
B. low and changeable.
C. interest free.
D. priceless and affordable.
74. Which of the following best describes The Times Company’s attitude towards its announcement?
A. rude
B. serious
C. hurried
D. doubtful
75. The passage is mainly about .
A. The Times to Offer Free Access to Its Web Site
B. The Times to Increase Audience to Its Web Site
C. The Times to Attract Advertisement to Its Web Site
D. The Times to Charge for Frequent Access to Its Web Site
