Have you ever wondered about people’s names? Where do they come from? What do they mean?
Some people give their children names that mean good things. Clara means “bright”; Beatrice means “one who gives happiness”; Donald means “world ruler”; Leonard means “as brave as a lion”.
The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near brook(小溪)；Someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.
Other early surnames came from people’s occupations. The most common occupational name
is Smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals. In the past, smiths were very important workers in every town and village. Some other occupational names are: Carter — a person who owned or drove a cart; Potter—a person who made pots and pans.
The ancestors(祖先) of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village. The Carpenter’s great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture.
Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin, or their size, or their special abilities. When there were two men who were named John in the same village, the John with the gray hair probably became John Gray. Or the John was very tall could call himself John Tallman. John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.
Some family names were made by adding something to the father’s name. English-speaking people added–s or –son. The Johnsons are descendants of John; the Roberts family’s ancestor was Robert. Irish and Scottish people added Mac or Mc or O. Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the McDonnells and the O’Donnells are descendants of the same Donnell.
60. Which of the following aspects do the surnames in the passage NOT cover?
A. Places where people lived.
B. People’s occupations.
C. Talents that people possessed.
D. People’s characters.
61. According to the passage, the ancestors of the Potter family most probably _______.
A. owned or drove a cart
B. made things with metals
C. built houses and furniture
D. made kitchen tools or contains
62. Suppose an English couple whose ancestors lived near a leafy forest wanted their new-born son
to become a world leader, the baby might be named _______.
A. Donald Greenwood
B. Leonard Carter
C. George Longstreet
D. Beatrice Smith
63. The underlined word “descendants” in the last paragraph means a person’s _______.
A. later sponsors
B. later generations
C. friends and relatives
D. colleagues and partners

Technology has totally transformed our ability to communicate with each other. Linking to each other both literally and figuratively, many of us connect through cell phones, email, instant messaging, blogs, and networking web sites, yet we may be less connected to each other than we think.
According to a study, Americans are becoming increasingly socially isolated(孤立的). The study suggests, for example, that one quarter of Americans say that they have no one to discuss important personal issues with, and that the number of close friends that Americans have has
dropped from three to two. Meanwhile, the Boston Globe reports that this spreading isolation is experienced more sharply among those with less education, people of color, and older Americans. Unsurprisingly, those who are young, white, and well educated tend to have stronger social networks.
From my own experience I have to say that I’ve never felt more conne cted, thanks to a web of friends, family, and colleagues. One of my closest friends is someone I met through an online discussion group who lives hundreds of miles away from me. We have met face-to-face only twice, yet our regular electronic correspondence and cell phone calls maintain our close friendship. And, speaking of blogging, my blog has introduced me to people I would never have met otherwise and has led to enduring and important friendships.
On the other hand, I recently saw a scene unfold that proved to me how deeply disconnected we as Americans have become. I had just wrapped up a presentation on mediation at a family therapy (治疗) center.
As I was leaving, I noticed a mother and her teenage son who had just completed their session with their family therapist. After making their next appointment, they both took out their cell phones, placed calls, and began loud conversations with whoever was on the other end. I walked out behind them to the parking lot to my car. They both jumped into their cars, and, as I saw them drive off, they were still talking on their cell phones but not to each other.
68. What does the passage lead you to believe?
A. Americans are more socially isolated today.
B. Americans are more socially connected today.
C. Americ ans don’t make good use of technology.
D. Technology plays a bigger role in American society.
69. Which of the following has nothing to do with the isolation among Americans?
A. Sex.
B. Education.
C. Skin color.
D. Age.
70. What is true about the mother and son in the passage?
A. They came for therapy in the same car.
B. They were quite close to each other.
C. There was not much communication between them.
D. They preferred talking to each other on cell phones.
71. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The writer is totally against the modern technology.
B. The mother and the son have finished their family therapist and get a better relationship.
C. As far as the writer is concerned, he has benefited a lot from the modern technology.
D. Those black and well-educated people have stronger social network than aged white people.

April 27 is Take Our Daughters to Work Day in Britain. Started at first in the United States and brought to Britain in 1994, Take Our Daughters to Work Day has become a special day for girls
between 11 and 15. On that day thousands of girls take a day off school and go together with one of their parents to their work places. The purpose of this day is to broaden girls' horizons（视野）and raise their self-confidence.
For many years people have thought that boys can do better than girls in society. But actually, “girls can be whatever they want to be just like boys, whether it is a pilot, a nurse or a chief executive(主管).”says the chairman of the Our Sons and Daughters Charitable Trust, an organization which supported the activity of the Day. “Now the girls have a close look at what their parents are doing and this may help them to be more self-confident when they are faced with a choice of work."
Schools and many companies support the activity too. Palmers Green High School for girls in north of London, has made the day a necessary part of careers education.
Zarina Bart, 15, from Palmers Green, went with her mother Gwen to her Lawyer's office this year's Take Our Daughters to Work Day. "I learned how to fill in a legal aid form and I read details of a case. Then I went to see the actual trial." she said.
Zarina found it interesting to see her mother at work. “It's real ly strange seeing Mum at work--running around, getting serious and telling people what to do.” She has always liked this idea of going into law and thinks it likely that she will follow in her mother’s footsteps. Having a chance to see how her mother works has given her more self-confidence.
Experts believe that girls with higher self-confidence aim higher and are more likely to be successful in life. Parents have important effect on the confidence of teenage girls. If parents believe in their daughters and show examples both at work as well as at home for them, this will give a lot of help to girls. Take Our Daughters to Work Day is surely a step in the right direction.
72. The writer’s purpose in writing this text is to ______.
A. tell how the special day for girls came into be.
B. show us the girls can do as well as boys.
C. introduce a special day for girls to us.
D. broaden girls’ view and raise their confidence.
73. According to the chairman of the Our Sons and Daughters Charitable Trust, ______.
A. girls can do as well as boys in any field.
B. girls need more opportunities in society compared to boys.
C. girls will follow their parents’ jobs after watching them work.
D. girls will be more confident than boys due to the special day.
74. A particular mention of Zarina’s story ______.
A. tells what a woman lawyer’s daily work is like
B. serves as an example of how the Day works.
C. shows a successful mother’s effect on the daughter.
D. explains why a girl should go to see mum's office rather than dad.
75. In the text the writer especially suggests the importance of ______.
A. parents’ job.
B. support from society.
C. understanding of the parents.
D. girls’ self-confidence.

First of all, we have to be sharp in mind so as to react to different situations quickly. Secondly, creativity can help us produce outstanding ideas. What’s more, it is necessary for us to hold unique opinions towards hot issues.
Just as you see, my qualities just meet the requirements above. Besides, I am social and love communicating with different people. It is an essential character helping me gather a wide variety of news materials. And I have plenty of hobbies, which inspire me to have the passion of covering stories in different fields.
I believe all these can make me a good journalist as long as I am committed and never give up. (128)
