It made me think ……what if I tried to smile more ? An 43 of sorts began when I went to a grocery store ．I 44 as I went up and down the aisles（过道)…… an d people I didn't even 45 smiled back at me ．Some even 46 ！The little kid in the cart who was
giving his mother a 47 time saw me smile and stopped talking…and ，you guessed it -—— he made a little 48 attempt at a smile ．The man in the handicapped cart 49 a person to reach something…… I could get that for him ．The smile even 50 to him ，and he thanked me and smiled at me ．
As I 51 home, I was smiling ．I thought about what I had just 52 ，and when someone passed my car and gave me a gesture ，I smiles at him ．He looked 53 ．
Now I know a smile is a 54 thing , but what if we were all to try to smile a few more times each day ? I couldn’t believe how great I felt．55 in my life had changed -——but maybe it had ．For what I learned was that such a small thing could lift not only my spirits, but those around me as well ．

第三部分：阅读理解(共40分)
第一节阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑. （共15小题，每小题2分,共30分)
A
Molly Wilson had been a dancer and a mother for many years when she decided to sail round the world to raise money for charity．As a child she had trained as a ballet dancer，but at l5 she had grown too tall for classical ballet，so she became a member of a pop dance team．
She got married，and after she had children she retired from show business to bring them up．They grew up, and when they were 18 they left home．
She says, “When I de cided to do the round-the—world race，my husband thought I was bored because the children had left home．He was also worried because I had never sailed before．I was not bored, but I had met some people who told me about the race．They had taken part in it, but they had only done one section, say, from New Zealand to Australia．I wanted to do the whole ten—month journey．"
Before Molly left she did a lot of training，but it hadn’t prepared
her for the worst weather which they experienced．By the end of October last year，she had raised more than $50，000 for charity．
She says，“Sometimes I ask myself，what did I do? How did I do it? But then I think, it’s the same as being a dancer．Before I left on trip，I had trained hard．I had got very fit and had prepared myself completely．Then on the trip I was simply a good team member．”56．Why did Molly Wilson decide to do the round-the—world race？
A．Because she had never sailed before．
B．Because she was bored．
C．Because she wanted to raise money for charity．
D．Because she wanted to earn money．
57．She joined the pop dance team because___________．
A．she was 15 B．she hadn't trained hard
C．she had been too fat．D．she had been too tall 58．What is the proper order of the following statements？
a．She got married．b．She became the member of a pop dance team．
c．She retired．d．She sailed around the world．
e．She trained as a ballet dancer．
A．e—b—a-c—d B．b—a-c—d—e
C．e-b-c-a—d D．c-a—b-d—e
59．We can conclude from the passage that________
A．she once wanted to give up on the journey
B．her husband didn't support her in the beginning
C．she didn't love her children
D．she didn’t raise any money at last
B
Recently we had two reports about concerns over the progress of boys in the American education system．Some people say there is a crisis for boys．Others say there are problems for some boys．But they say the situation is not so much that boys are falling behind as girls are catching up with boys．
Today we examine changes that have taken place at the college level．Some people are worried about the situation for men while others praise areas of progress for women．
In 1970, women made up forty—two percent of college students in the United States．Now they are about fifty—six percent．
A recent report called “The Truth about Boys and Girls” included this information—but not as evidence of a crisis．Sara Mead，a policy analyst(分析家)at the research group Education Sector，wrote the report．She sees the situation this way：Yes，men are earning fewer four—year college degrees than women．But men are still earning more degrees than they had in the past, only at a slower growth rate than women．And，yes，more women than men are also earning master's degrees．But men still earn more doctor degrees．These are the degrees needed to become a doctor or a lawyer or a professor．Besides, men hold more positions and earn more money on average than women do．
There are many explanations why males and females perform differently in their schooling．Some are based on recent brain research, but others centre on environment．Some people say boys now face a bad environment in American education．Christina Hoff Sommers, a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute，wrote the book The War Against Boys．She says the lower percentage of men in college points to a serious problem in the education of American boys．
60．How many opinions are there about concerns over the progress of boys in the American education system according to Paragraph 1?
A．Two B．Three C．Four D．Five 61．What percentage do the men make up in the college students in the USA now？
A．56％． B．42％．C．44%．D．58%．
62．Which of the following is not Sara Mead’s opinion？
A．Men earn more degrees than they did in the past．
B．Men earn more money than women do．
C．More women earn master's degrees than men do．
D．She sees the situation as a serious problem．
C
You’re in a department store and you see a couple of attractive young women looking at a sweater．You listen to their conversation：“I can't believe it-a Lorenzo Bertolla！They are almost impossible to find．Isn’t it beautiful ？And it’s a lot cheaper than the one Sara
bought in Rome．"
They leave and you go over to see this incredible sweater．It’s nic e and the price is right．You’ve never heard of Lorenzo Bertolla，but those girls looked really stylish．They must know．So,you buy it．You never realize that those young women are employees of an advertising agency．They are actually paid to go from store to store，talking loudly about Lorenzo Bertolla clothes．
Every day we notice what people are wearing，driving and eating．If the person looks cool,the product seems cool，too．This is the secret of undercover（暗中进行的）marketing．Companies from Ford to Nike are starting to use it．
Undercover marketing is important because it reaches people that don't pay attention to traditional advertising．This is particularly true of the MTV generation—consumers between the age of 18 and 34．It is a golden group．They have a lot of money to spend，but they don’t trust ads．
So advertising agencies hire young actors to “perform"in bars and other places where young
adults go．Some people might call this practice deceptive(欺诈性的），but marketing manager Jonathan Ressler calls it creative．“Look at traditional advertising．Its effectiveness is decreasing．”
However，one might ask what exactly is“real”about of young women pretending to be enthusiastic about a sweater？Adverting managers would say it’s no less real than an ad．The difference is that
you know an ad is trying to persuade you to buy something．You don’t know when a conversation you overhear is just a performance．63．The two attractive young women were talking so that they could ．
A．get the sweater at a lower price B．be heard by people around C．be admired by other shoppers D．decide on buying the sweater
64．Undercover marketing is effective mainly because ．
A．MTV generation don’t trust traditional ads
B．people believe if a person looks cool，the product seems cool，too C．traditional ads fail to persuade people to buy things
D．it reaches people without being noticed．
65．Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? ．A．The two girls enjoy wearing Lorenzo Bertolla clothes．
B．The MTV generation tend to be more easily influenced by ads．C．Traditional advertising is becoming less effective because it's too direct．
D．Undercover marketing will surely be stopped soon by the government．
66．Which of the following would be the best title for the text？
A．Two Attractive Shoppers B．Lorenzo Bertolla Sweaters C．Ways of Advertising D．Undercover Marketing
D
Are morning people born or made? In my case it was definitely
made．In my early 20s，I rarely went to bed before midnight, and I would almost always get up late the next morning．
But after a while I couldn't ignore the high relationship between success and rising early．On those rare occasions where I did get up early，I noticed that my productivity was almost always higher．So I set out to become a habitual early riser．But whenever my alarm went off, my first thought was always to stop that noise and go back to sleep．Eventually some sleep research showed me that I was using the wrong strategy．The most common wrong strategy is this: You assume that if you’re going to get up earlier, you’d better go to bed earlier．It sounds very reasonable，but will usually fail．
There are two main schools（流派) of thought on sleep patterns．The first is that you should go to bed and get up at the same time every day．The second school says you should go to bed when you're tired and get up when you naturally wake up．However，I have found both of them are wrong if you care about productivity．If you sleep at set hours，you’ll sometimes go to bed when you aren’t sleepy enough．You’re wasting time lying in bed awake and not being asleep．
If your sleep is based on what your body tells you，you’ll probably be sleeping more than you need．Also, your mornings may be less predictable if you’re getting up at diff erent times．
The solution for me has been to combine both methods．I go to bed when I’m sleepy and get up with an alarm clock at a fixed time．So I always get up at the same time (in my case 5 am), but I go to bed at
different times every night — sometimes at 9：30pm, and other times at midnight．Most of the time I go to bed between 10—11 pm．However, going to bed only when I’m sleepy，and getting up at a fixed time every morning is my way．If you want to become an early riser，you can try your own．
67．According to the passage, the underlined phrase refers to ________．A．people who stay up until the next morning
B．people who feel sleepy in the morning
C．people who get up early in the morning
D．people whose productivity is the highest in the morning 68．Why did the author want to become a habitual early riser？A．Because he / she wanted to form the habit of going to bed early and getting up early．
B．Because he / she wanted to see which of the two main schools of thought on sleep patterns was right．
C．Because he / she had found that his / her productivity was higher when he / she got up early．
D．Because he / she was told the high relationship between success and rising early．
69．The author experienced all the following EXCEPT ________．A．asking scholars for advice on sleeping habits
B．getting up early occasionally
C．pressing off the alarm to go on sleeping
D．going to bed after midnight
70．The passage is mainly about ________．
A．how to have good sleep B．how to become an early riser
C．wrong strategies for getting up early D．main schools of thought on sleep patterns

Have you ever been in a meeting while someone was making a speech and realized suddenly that your mind was a million miles away？You probably felt sorry and made up your mind to pay attention and ever have been told that daydreaming is a waste of time．
“On the contrary,” says L．Gia mbra，an expert in psychology, “daydreaming is quite nece ssary．Without it，the mind couldn’t get done all the thinking it has to do during a normal day．You can't possibly do all your thinking with a conscious mind．Instead，your unconscious mind is working out problems all the time．Daydreaming then may be one way that the conscious and unconscious states of mind have silent dialogues．”
Early experts in psychology paid no attention to the importance of daydreams or even considered them harmful．At one time daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses．They did not have a
better understanding of daydreams until the late 1980s．Eric Klinger，a professor of psychology, is the writer of the book Daydreaming．Klinger says，“We know now that daydreaming is one of the main ways that we organize our lives，learn from our experiences，and plan for our futures．Daydreams really are a window on the things we fear and the things we long for in life．” Daydreams are usually very simple and direct，quite unlike sleep dreams，which may be hard to understand．It's easier to gain a deep understanding of your life by paying close attention to your daydreams than by trying to examine your sleep dreams carefully．Daydreams help you recognize the difficult situations in your life and find out a possible way of dealing with them．Daydreams cannot be predicted; they move off in unexpected direction which may be creative and full of ideas．For many famous artists and scientists, daydreams were and are a main source of creative energy．

One possible version：
Most people think that only a person who is good at studying is a good student．But I don’t completely agree．The standard of a good
student should not only be his or her marks，but also the following aspects．
First of all, it’s important to have a healthy body and a sound spirit．On the other hand , a healthy body gives a student courage in the face of difficulties and danger，while on the other hand a sound spirit means that a student is able to challenges．Besides ，a good student should also be creative，quick to learn, polite to his or her teachers and parents ，and have other good qualities．
In short ，I think students should be judged based on all the criteria we have for judging a human being ，not just on their grades．

Lennon and Mc—Cartney were the authors of the songs the group recorded．Harrison also wrote songs，often using ideas from Indian music．The drummer of the group was the famous Ringo Starr and he occasionally sang．For six years The Beatles had hit after hit songs．Twenty-eight of their songs were on the Top twenty record charts and seventeen of these songs reached number one on the charts．
The group also had a successfully movie career．The comedies A hard day’s night and yellow submarine became very successfully movies．People imitated their ling hairstyles，clothing，and humor．Almost all later pop bands learned from the Beatles．Beatle mania is the word used to describe how strong and loyal the fans were．。
