Maybe you’ve lost your job. Maybe you didn’t get the 36 in your job. Maybe your sweetheart 37 with you. People say “Don’t take it personally” and “Don’t let it get to you,” but that’s very38 to do.
If you’re feeling disheartened, 39 are some strategies (策略) for making yourself feel better? It’s pretty clear that 40 “I’m the greatest!” or winning a prize along with every other second-grade soccer player isn’t a goo d way to 41 healthy self-respect.

It was the only way I could make myself feel like I wasn’t a total loser.”
Keep a resolution(决心). Not only will you benefit from exercising or 50 out your garage, you’ll also get a boost (激发) from the mere fact that you made a 51 and stuck to it.
Boost your 52 . Studies show that when you’re feeling energetic, you’re much more likely to feel good about yourself. Most important: get enough sleep.
Challenge yourself 53 . This strategy doesn’t work for me, but I know that many people feel great 54 white-water rafting, bungee-jumping, or roller-coaster-riding. For the less daring,
a great run, or bike ride can do the 55 .

We were all telling stories of our most embarrassing moment.
It came around to Frank who sat quietly listening to others. Now,
Frank began, “It was hard making a living on the sea. My Dad
worked hard and would stay out until he caught enough to feed his
family.”
Frank’s voice dropped a bit.“When the weather was bad he
would drive me to school. He would pull right up in front, and it seemed like everybody would be standing around and watching. Then he would lean over and give me a big kiss on the cheek and tell me to be a good boy. It was so embarrassing for me. Here I was twelve years old, and my Dad would lean over and kiss me good-bye!”
He paused and then went on, “I remember the day. When we got to the school and came to a stop, he had his usual big smile. He started to lean toward me, but I put my hand up and said, ‘No, Dad. I’m too old for a good-bye kiss. I’m too old for any kind of kiss.’ My Dad looked at me for the longest time, and his eyes started to tear up. I had never seen him cry. He turned and looked out of the windshield (挡风玻璃). ‘You’re right,’ he said.‘You are a big boy… a man. I won’t kiss you anymore.’”
For the moment, Frank got a funny look on his face, and the tears began to well up in his eyes. “It wasn’t long after that when my Dad went to sea and never came back.”
I looked at Frank and saw that tears were running down his cheeks. Frank spoke again. “Guys, you don’t know what I would give to have my Dad give me just one more kiss on the cheek… to feel his rough old face…to smell the ocean on him… to feel his arm ar ound my neck. I wish I had been a man then. If I had been a man, I would never have told my Dad I was too old for a good-bye kiss.”

The Goldman Environmental Foundation recently recognized a group of individuals (个体) for their efforts to protect the environment. Each year, the American-based group honors environmental activists from six different areas.
The first three winners of the 2012 Goldman Prize are from Kenya, the Philippines and China.
The Goldman Environmental Foundation says Ikal Angelei is a hero to those who live around Lake Turkana. The Kenyan woman received the award because of her efforts to stop a dam project on a river in Ethiopia. Critics say the dam will harm the lake and restrict (限制) the flow of water for people who live nearby.
The Philippine island of Mindoro is home to those who depend on the area’s natural resources for food and jobs. Edwin Gariguez became concerned when a European company announced plans to mine for nickel (镍) on the island. The Roman Catholic minister said waste materials from the mining project would pollute the water and destroy the forests. So he started a campaign to stop the project.
In China, Ma June is working with businesses to clean up their pollution. He formed a group that collects information about pollution, and publishes it on the Internet.
The Goldman Prize was also awarded to activists from Argentina, Russia and the United States.
Sofia Gatica of Argentina is from a town where farmers commonly use pesticide (杀虫剂) products to protect soybean crops from insects. The town also has a high rate of cancer. Miz Gatica believed that pesticide use was responsible for the death of her baby. She worked with other mothers to get government officials to ban the use of chemicals near populated areas.
Evgenia Chirikova objects to the plans to build a road through a protected forest just outside Moscow. She has demanded that Russian officials redirect the road away from the forest. She and her followers have been arrested for their activities. However, their campaign has gained widespread public support.
The sixth winner is American Caroline Cannon —a community leader in Point Hope, Alaska. Miz Cannon is fighting to keep Arctic waters safe from oil and gas exploration.
60. We can know from the passage that ___________.
A. the dam project has been prevented
B. the first three activists are all from Asia
C. a European company is going to dig for nickel
D. Ma June is trying to stop oil and gas exploration
61. From the 7th paragraph, we can know that ____________.
A. pesticide use accounts for a high-rate of cancer
B. Sofia managed to ban the use of chemicals
C. the farmers mainly live on unpolluted products
D. the death of the baby was due to delayed treatment
62.What do we know about Evgenia Chirikova？
A. She plans to build a road to protect the forest.
B. She is in charge of a project far away from the road.
C. She persuaded the government to set her followers free.
D. Her environmental action has been widely acknowledged.
63. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Six Advanced Individuals for Hard Work
B. Efforts to Create a Clean and Beautiful World
C. Six Environmental Activists Win Goldman Prize
D. The Goldman Environmental Foundation Prize
C

★Make sure you can contact the store if something goes wrong—You want to make sure that you will have someone to talk with if something goes wrong.
★Always print out your order details and confirmation—Just in case that you’d need to contact the site, it is always better to give them detailed information about your order.

They sit by the door waiting for me. And while I may speak more about the narrowness of my very limited life than their real worth, just the fact that they’re sitting there, waiting for me, makes me happy.
I speak, of course, of my wonderful, brilliant, intelligently designed,
calf-high rubber boots. They are a piece of industrial genius (杰作). They
are real and vibrant (活力的), and make my life more worth living.
My rubber boots are real and they do not fail me. I slip them on over
my socks at a moment’s notice. They go on easily. My feet feel joyful like
the wagging (摇摆) tail of a dog waiting for its walk. My feet know they are
safe.
I step outside the house and nothing can stop me—the late season snowstorm, the pool of standing water at the bottom of my doorsteps that will never give off, the mud and dirt this season brings. My feet are warm and dry and happy. And so am I.
My boots are modest. T hey make no promise they can’t keep. I found them at one-third the price of the long boots I looked at longingly for years. Mine are American-made and inexpensive and unattractive and brown and solid. They are now three years old and still look new. I know I will have them forever. I will die with them on. They are homely and they are wonderful.
My rubber boots make me braver and kinder and more generous. Yes, I will get the mail. Yes, I will get the newspaper. Yes, I will walk the dog. Yes to the garbage. Yes. Yes. Yes. I have rubber boots, good strong rubber boots—and I am not afraid.

FILTON, just outside Bristol, is where Britain’s fleet of Concorde supersonic（超音速的）airliners was built. There, something remarkable is being created. Little by little a machine is “printing” a complex titanium bracket (钛合金支架), about the size of a shoe, which normally would have to be cut from a solid block of metal. Brackets are only the beginning. The researchers at Filton have a much bigger ambition: to print the entire wing of an airliner.
Unrealistic as this may seem, many other people are
using 3D printing technology to create similarly remarkable
things. These include medical implants, jewellery, football
boots designed for individual feet, lampshades, racing-car
parts, solid-state batteries and customized mobile phones.
Some are even making mechanical devices (仪器). At the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Peter Schmitt,
a PhD student, has been printing something that is like the workings of a grandfather clock. It took him a few attempts to get right, but eventually he removed the plastic clock from a 3D printer, hung it on the wall and pulled down the counterweight. It started ticking.
Engineers and designers have been using 3D printers for more than a decade, but mostly to make original types quickly and cheaply before they embark on the expensive business of tooling up a factory to produce the real thing. As 3D printers have become more able to work with a broader range of materials, including production-grade plastics and metals, the machines are increasingly being used to make final products too. More than 20% of the output of 3D printers is now final products rather than original types, according to Terry Wohlers, who runs a research firm specializing in the field. He predicts that this will rise to 50% by 2020.
72 Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Filton is in the centre of Bristol.
B. Peter tried to print a clock, but in vain.
C. a remarkable metal bracket is being created.
D. 3D printing technology is available to all of us.
73.The underlined word “embark” probably means “_________”.
A. work
B. land
C. depend
D. fix
74. We can conclude from the last paragraph that __________.
A. Terry Wohlers’ s firm will make great profits
B. the technology of 3D printers will be widely adopted
C. 3D printers have been in use for at least 100 years
D. Engineers and designers prefer printing original products
75. The passage is developed mainly in the form of _______.
A. time and events
B. definition and description
C. contrast and conclusion
D. examples and statements

W: Good evening, sir.
M: Good evening, my name is Smith. I have a room booked tonight.
W: Oh, right. I’ll just check. Well, there’s no record of a reservation here. Did you make your reservation by phone?

M: Miss Li, I heard you are from Beijing, aren’t you?
W: That’s right.
M: Would you please tell me something about the four seasons there?
W: OK. The longest season in Beijing is winter. It’s long and cold. And it often snows.
M: What about spring?
W: It’s warm but quite windy, and dry, too windy sometimes, I should say.
M: Then summer must be nice.
W: No, I’m afraid not. It may get too hot and there’s a lot of rain.
M: Oh, I know. Autumn is the best season in Beijing.
W: I think so. The weather is cool and nice. It’s not too windy, and you can see the sun early every day, but not too hot. It’s the best season for traveling.
M: Oh, I see.

M: I can’t believe we spent so much last month, Alice.
W: Did we? How much more did we spend than the month before last?
M: It was about $ 1,100.
W: That’s a lot. What did we pay for?
M: Well, the largest amount went to the repair of the heating system of the house. It was $ 900. W: What about the other $ 200?
M: Here’s the bank statement. See for yourself.
W: Oh, I wrote a check of $ 149 for two pairs of shoes on the 6th of the month and $ 49 for my new dress on the 19th. That’s right.
M: Alice, my dear. We have to tighten our budget for things we don’t need immediately.
W: You mean I shouldn’t have bought the shoes and the dress? Oh, honey, I had been window shopping for them for quite a while. They were really good bargains, you know.
