I am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.
I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows (誓约)mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends. And they are good to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.
So here’s what I wanted to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion, the bigger paycheck, the larger house.
Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure, it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an email. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.
It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours and our minutes. It is so easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.
I learned to love the journey, not the destination, I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned.
By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face, Learn to be happy, And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion as it ought to be lived.

From her children and husband.
51. What’s the author’s attitude toward work?
A. Do it well to serve others
B. Earn enough money to make life better
C. Try your best to get higher position and pay
Don’t let it affect your real life.
52. It can be inferred from the passage that .
A. the author is a success in personal life
the author didn’t try her best to work well
the author spent all her time caring for her children

A serious problem for today's society is who should be responsible for our elderly and how to improve their lives. It is not only a financial problem but also a question of the system we want for our society. I would like to suggest several possible solutions to this problem.
First, employers should take the responsibility for their retired employees. To make this possible, a percentage of profits should be set aside for this purpose. But when a company must take life-long responsibility for its employees, it may suffer from a commercial disadvantage due to higher employee costs.
Another way of solving the problem is to return the responsibility to the individual. This means each person must save during his working years to pay for his years of retirement. This does not seem a very fair model since some people have enough trouble paying for their daily life
without trying to earn extra to cover their retirement years. This means the government might have to step in to care for the poor.
In addition, the government could take responsibility for the care of the elderly. This could be financed through government taxes to increase the level of pensions. Furthermore, some institutions should be created for senior citizens, which can help provide a comfortable life for them. Unfortunately, as the present situation in our country shows, this is not a truly viable answer. The government can seldom afford to care for the elderly, particularly when it is busy trying to care for the young.
One further solution is that the government or social organizations establish some working places especially for the elderly where they are independent.
To sum up, all these options have advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that some combination of these options may be needed to provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations.
53. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The problems faced by the old in society.
B. Why we should take responsibility for the old.
C. How we can improve the lives of the old.
D. Where the old can go to get their pensions.
54. The underlined word "viable" most probably means" ".
A. impossible
B. practical
C. useful
D. important
55. What is the writer's main purpose in writing this article?
A. To point out the need for government support for old people.
B. To make general readers aware of the problems of retired people.
C. To discuss some possible solutions to an important social problem.
D. To instruct retired people on how they can have a happier life.
56. The text is most likely to be found in a book about____.
A. social science
B. historical events
C. political problem
D. political systems
D
“Image is everything.” If there is no fact behind the image, the product, service or person will fail at length.
First of all, one should consider how important image is in the selling of products and services. But if the product or service does not live up to the image that was created, the customer will be very dissatisfied and possibly ask for their money back. For example , the Arthur Andersen accounting firm had spent decades building up an image of trustworthiness. But the recent scandal (丑闻) showed that behind that image, it had dishonest business practices. Despite the previous positive image, the firm is being accused of criminal actions and it will probably not survive as a business unit. Although the image had been nearly perfect, the reality behind the image has led to the downfall of the world famous accounting firm.
Similarly, people especially politicians and movie stars try to ensure they are seen in all the right places which can build up a very positive image in the view of the general commons. But once again, history is filled with examples of both politicians and movie stars that fell from grace like the story of the Hollywood actor giving in to the pressures of fame and fortune. With people, just as with products and services, image is certainly important, but without positive
substance(本质) behind the image, failure is close.
To summarize, it is clear that an appealing image is extremely important to success, whether that image is related to selling a product or service or to the " selling" of a person. But image is only half of the equation. What lies behind that image is every bit as important as the image itself—the person or product must deliver on that image or there is little chance for long-term success.
57．The downfall of the Arthur Andersen accounting firm is due to ______.
A．its dishonesty in business B．its previous images
C．its bad management D．its poor service
58．Why did some famous people fall from grace?
A．Their images were not well built up.
B．They failed to live up to their images.
C．They felt much pressure from the public.
D．They paid little attention to fame and fortune.
59．The structure of the passage is .
60．The author tries to argue that______.
A．image creates everything
B．image is the key to success
C．truth goes hand in hand with image
D．truth and image are equally important
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从下框的A—F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。

选项中有一项为多余选项。

A．New teachers' opinions of involving parents
B．An argument over an assignment
C．A conflict between assumption and reality
D．Difficulties in sharing goals
E．The best way to score high
F．Proper ways of parental involvement
61．.
An Iowa high school counselor(咨询师) gets a call from a parent protesting the “C” her child received on an assignmen t. “The parent argued every point in the essay，” recalls the counselor, who soon realized why the mother was so disappointed about the grade. “It became apparent that she' d written it. ”
62．.
In a survey, 90% of new teachers agreed that involving parents in their children' s education is a
priority at their school, but only 25% described their experience working with parents as “very satisfying”. When asked to choose the biggest challenge they face, 31% of them quoted involving parents and communicating with them as their top choice. 73% of new teachers said too many parents treat schools and teachers as enemies.
63．.
At a time when competition is rising and resources are limited, when battles over testing force schools to adjust their priorities, when cell phones and e-mail speed up the information flow and all kinds of private ghosts and public quarrels slip into the parent-teacher conference, it' s harder for both sides to step back and breathe deeply and look at the goals they share.
64．.
Everyone says the parent-teacher conference should be pleasant, civilized, a kind of dialogue where parents and teachers build partnership. But what most teachers feel, and certainly what all parents feel, is anxiety and panic.
65．.
When a teacher asks parents to be partners, he or she doesn't necessarily mean Mom or Dad should be camping in the classroom. Research shows that though students benefit modestly from having parents involved at school, what happens at home matters much more. According to research based on the National Education Longitudinal Study, a sample of nearly 25,000 eighth graders, among four main areas of parental involvement (home discussion, home supervision, school communication and school participation), home discussion was the most strongly related.

书面表达
At present we are living in the best age. However, there are still a small number of people who don’t act responsibly. Their bad behaviors are out of place in our civilized society. For example, some people often ignore traffic rules and risk their lives to run the red light. Littering is still a serious problem. In addition, it’s not u nusual to hear someone speaking loudly on their cellphones in public places. Worse still, you can even find silly things written by some tourists in scenic spots.
As far as I am concerned, everyone should learn to become a responsible citizen. We must be aware the way we behave in public places will affect others. As long as we kick some of our bad habits and care about others, we will make a great difference to our society.。
