I’ve always had strong opinions of how love should be expressed,
but others had their own ways of showing care. What I 36 most about visiting my boyfriend’s parents is the loud tick of the clock in the dining room as we 37 ate our meal. With so little conversation I was quick to 38 his family as cold. When we got into the 39 to go home, his father suddenly appeared. 40 , he began to wash his son’s windscreen. I could feel he is a caring man through the glass.
I learned another lesson about love a few years later. My father often 41 me early in the morning. “Buy Xerox. It’s a good sharp price,” he might say when I answered the phone. No pleasant 42 or inquiry about my life, just financial instructions. This manner of his 43 me and we often quarreled. But one day, I thought about my father’s success in business and realized that his concern for my financial security lay behind his 44 morning calls. The next time he called and told me to buy a stock, I 45 him.

But then she came to a gathering I 50 and handed me a beautiful dress I had fallen in love with when we did some window-shopping the previous month. I was 51 at her thoughtfulness, and regretful for how I’d considered her to be 52 . Clearly I needed to change my expectations of friends.
Far too often, I ignored their 53 expressions, eagerly expecting them to do things in my 54 . Over the yea rs, however, I’ve

并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A
Every kid wishes to be an adult. Do you remember playing house as a child — pretending to be a grown-up like your parents? Did you imagine you were a doctor, a soldier or a teacher? At that time, anything seemed more exciting than being young.
But now as grown-ups, some adults find they cannot leave childhood behind. They become “kidults”. Being a kidult has become a lifest yle choice among young 7
people across Asia.
Some kidults collect toys they once played with. Hello Kitty, Garfield, and Snoopy have many adult fans around the world. It is not unusual to see a 20-something woman with a big, Garfield-shaped cushion on her sofa or a Hello Kitty mobile phone accessory.
Other kidults still enjoy children’s stories and fairy tales.
For example, the British publisher Bloomsbury even released an
edition of the Harry Potter novels with an adult cover. That way, no one else on the subway will know that an adult is actually reading a children’s book.
“Kidults can be like vitamins to society. Adults who love their childhood most and hold on to pure, child-like emotion may be needed in such a rough and dry society,” said Lee So-jung, a
professor at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies.
He added that kidult culture may fill the generation gap between adults and kids. It could give children and their parents books, movies, and cartoon shows to enjoy together.
Tim Greenhalgh, an adviser in London explained that some kidults
just refuse to grow up. They hold on to childhood because working life in a busy and stressful city frightens them. Kidults would like to
forget their age and openly show their fear of society and adulthood.
“S o, they can escape from increasingly busy and stressful lives
that are hard to deal with,” Greenhalgh said.
56. Why does a kid wish to be an adult?
A. Because he wants to be independent.
B. Because he doesn’t want to be controlled by adults.
C. Because he believes there will be more exciting life ahead.
D. Because he wants to experience the real world.
57. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Some kidults refuse to grow up.
B. Some kidults want to escape from the busy and stressful life.
8
C. Some kidults think childhood is the best time of their life.
D. Some kidults in Britain like reading on the subway.
58. One of the advantages of the kidult culture is that ______.
A. it can make adults face the real social life
B. it can make our society young and full of life
C. it can increase the sales of children’s books
D. it can lead to harmonious relationship between adults and kids
59. Which of the following is the best title for the article?
A. Happy Childhood
C. Fearful Adulthood
B B. Kids or Grown-ups D. Kidult Culture

The story I would like to tell happened about a year ago. I accepted a position in a company. John, an acquaintance of mine, told me much about the job and took my curriculum vitae (简历) to
his supervisor. I did not refer to him as a friend because at the time we did not take part in activities together outside of work, nor did our wives.
The first week was fine. Nothing was obviously strange with John at first until the second week, when our communication began to get a
little strange. John began making comments like “you would have had to pay an employment agency several hundred dollars for a job like this”.
I soon forgot his words till the next day when he
made another similar comment. Right then I started to really pay attention to what he meant. He acted as if I owed him money for helping me to get the job.
He began to get short with me and I had only been there for two weeks. He was supposed to train me in building our e-mail servers and setting up the entire standard monitor software. Instead, he went through the process so fast that even an experienced worker could hardly
keep up. He would not slow down or check whether I was with him or not. If there was something wrong with a server, he would just buzz through the solution and not stop to say anything like “you might want to remember this.” I began to get very frustrated.
By the third week I began to get tired of his condescension (傲
慢). So I began to challenge him in a way that was only one to one. He would respond to a question of mine with a question or just make me repeat it, and then interrupt me. I began to hate him. Later I tried to avoid him as much as I could, so I wouldn’t run
into him.
He stopped me one day and asked me what had happened. I told him he was very condescending in his tone and manner. He asked me, “What can I do so that you will not feel like this way in the future?” I simply asked him to treat me with the same respect he
would like to be treated with. He did it and we got along better gradually. I believed there was hope and eventually we would become friends and now we are.
63. Why didn’t the author refer to John as a friend at firs t?
11
A. Their wives didn’t know each other.
weeks. B. They had only met for two
C. They seldom spent free time together.
disagreements on work. D. They had many
64. What did John most probably mean by saying the underlined sentence?
A. The company he and the author worked in was very good.
B. He had helped the author get a job without a penny.
C. The author was wise not to ask an employment agency for help.
D. The author should have paid him several hundred dollars to express his gratitude.
65. Which of the following is TRUE according to the third and fourth paragraphs?
A. John was an experienced and hard-working employee.
B. John hardly lent an ear to what the author expressed.
C. The author was very slow in learning new things.
D. The author gradually got accustomed to his work.
66. What’s the author’s purpose of sharing his story?

C. To remind us what problems can occur at work.
D. To stress the importance of communication between colleagues.

I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch (大牧
场). He has let me use his house to put on fund-raising events. The last time I was there he introduced me by saying: “I want to tell you a story. It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of a mobile horse trainer who would go from stable to stable, race track to
race track, farm to farm and ranch to ranch, training horses. As a result, the boy’s high school career
was continually interrupted. When he was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.
12
“That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of
someday owning a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great
detail and he even drew a picture of a 200-acre ranch with much information of all the buildings, the stables and the track. Then he drew a detailed floor plan for a 4,000-square-foot house that would sit on a 200-acre dream ranch.
“He put a great de al of his heart into the project and the next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a note that read, ‘See me after class.’
“The boy with the dream went to see the teacher a fter class and asked, ‘Why did I receive an F?’ The teacher said, ‘This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You come from a mobile family. You have no resources. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for the original breeding stock (种马) and later you’ll
have to pay a large amount of money. There’s no way you could ever do it.’ Then the teacher added, ‘If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsi der your grade.’
“The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, ‘Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important decision for you.’ Finally, afte r a week, the boy
turned in the same paper, making no changes at all. He stated, ‘You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream.’ ”
Monty then turned to the assembled group and said, “I tell you this story because you are sitting in my 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch. I still have that school paper on the wall.” He added, “The best part of the story is that two years ago
that same schoolteacher brought 30 kids to camp out on my ranch for a week. When the teacher was leaving, h e said, ‘Look, Monty, I’m sorry now. When I was your teacher, I was something of a dream stealer. During those years I stole a lot of kids’ dreams. Fortunately you had strong determination not to give up on yours.’ ”
“Don’t let anyone steal your dreams. F ollow your heart, no
matter what,” Monty 13
at last concluded.
67. From the teacher’s point of view, the real reason why the boy got an F is that ____.
A. the boy’s family was mobile
D. he could not afford to buy B. his dream was not practicable C.
the paper was not well organized
a horse ranch
68. Why was the boy’s schooling continually interrupted?
A. He had to help his father to train horses.
B. They lived too far away from the school.
C. His father devoted all his time to training horses.
D. He had to travel along with his father from place to place.
69. What is the turning point in Monty’s success story?
A. He wrote about his dream in the school paper.

C. He put up the school paper on the wall.

70. What did the teacher mea n by saying “he was a dream stealer”?
A. He succeeded in stealing his students’ dreams.
B. The dreams his students had were usually unrealistic.
C. He discouraged his students from keeping their dreams.
D. He failed to help his students realize their dreams.

How Self-Acceptance Leads to Happiness Within
Finding acceptance is a natural desire of most people. When we are young, it is important to us to be accepted by others. To do this, we will often adopt the views 14 B. He received his paper D. He turned to his
and interests of the others rather than develop our own.
Over time, however, we have the opportunity to learn to accept ourselves. People who have done this are confident in their true abilities; they do not feel the need to impress other people. They are concerned with whether their actions produce worthwhile results rather than with how they are seen by others.
Less confident people constantly agree with everything others suggest, for fear of having their own ideas rejected. Defensive people are also usually unconfident; in an attempt to hide their unconfidence, they blame others.
Confident people do not give up when faced with a difficult situation; they say “I can” rather than “I can't.” Knowing that each day is an opportunity to use their talents to acquire good health, good friendships, and great happiness, they always put their best foot forward. Gradually they can appreciate the differences between themselves and other people.
Recognizing the details that we cannot change about ourselves helps us grow personally, so why waste energy complaining about being short? Instead of focusing on personal characteristics we are not satisfied with, we ought to focus more on what we are good at.
Such expressions as “Love yourself” and “Be true to your own
self” are about self-acceptance, as well as honesty and morality. We should consider them to be good advice, and treat them as signposts showing the way to happiness within.

Dear Jack, 80. happiness
After reading your letter, I know that you are now in low spirits because your school football team has been unlucky to lose an important match and miss the chance to win the championship.
You have every right to feel ashamed of the disappointing result. However, you should know that winning isn’t everything. Actually, in defeat, you can still find something more precious than victory, such as friendship, team spirit and respect. After all, the meaning of a game,
in its real sense, lies in the pleasure its process brings, rather than the stress its result gives.
So, right now, the most important thing you should do is to learn
the lesson 17
from this failure, which will help you achieve success in the games to come. Besides, don’t lose heart. Confidence also plays an important role in a game. If my suggestions above may help you, I think you and your football team will win more victories in the future.
