A
The Peales were a famous family of American artists．Charles Willson Peale is best remembered for his portraits of leading figures of the American Revolution．He painted portraits of Franklin and Jefferson and over a dozen of George Washington．His life-size portrait of his sons Raphaelle and Titian was so realistic that George Washington reportedly once tipped his hat to the figures in the picture.
Charles Willson Peale gave up painting in his middle age and devoted his life to the Peale museum, which he founded in Philadelphia．The world’s first popular museum of art and natural science mainly covered paintings by Peale and his family as well as displays of animals in their natural settings．Peale found the animals himself and found a method to make the exhibits more lifelike．The museum’s most popular display was the skeleton of a huge, extinct elephant, which Peale unearthed on a New York farm in 1801.
Three of Peale’s seventeen children were also famous artists．Paphaelle Peale often painted still lives of flowers, fruit, and cheese．His brother Rembrandt studied under his father and painted portraits of many noted people, including one of George Washington．Another brother, Rubens Peale, painted mostly landscapes and portraits.
James Peale, the brother of Charles Willson Peale, specialized in miniatures (小画像)．His
daughter Sarah Miriam Peale was probably the first professional female portrait painter in America. 56．What is the main topic of the passage?
A．The life of Charles Willson Peale．B．Portraits in the 18th century.
C．The Peale Museum．D．A family of artists.
57．The author mentions in Paragraph 1 that Washington tipped his hat to the figures in the painting to show that ________.
A．Charles Willson Peale’s painting was very lifelike

Remembering your dreams will require some efforts on your part．But what your dreams can offer and tell you about yourself will be well worth it．Here are some tips to help recall your dreams: 1．Before going to bed, keep a clear mind．Tell yourself that “I will remember my dre ams when I wake up”．This is actually a proven and effective way to recall your dreams.
2．Have a regular bedtime and wake-up time．Make this your routine．Going to bed and waking up at a regular time every day could aid in dream recollection.
3．Avoid alcohol consumption and taking medicine before going to bed．These things may prevent you from remembering your dreams．
4．Keep a pencil and a notebook next to your bed so that they will be within reach as soon as you wake up．Having a small lamp by your bedside is also a good idea, so you wake up in the middle of the night and can record your dreams immediately.
5．Do not get out of bed immediately．Upon waking from a dream, lie still in your bed, keeping your eyes closed and moving as little as possible．Let your mind wander among the images of what you have just dreamed．
6．Write down as many details in your dreams as you can, no matter how seemingly unimportant they may be．Do not judge the content or worry if they make sense．7．Sometimes it may help to draw pictures．A picture is worth a thousand words, as the saying goes．Even if you are not an artist, a simple drawing can help to recall details of your dreams．60．This passage tells you ______ .
A．some useful tips to recall your dreams
B．the way to recall your dreams

C
If U.S．software companies don't pay more attention to quality, they could kiss their business good-bye．Both India and Brazil are developing a world-class software industry．Their weapon is quality and one of their jobs is to attract the top U.S．quality specialists whose voices are not listened to in their country．
Already, of the world's 12 software houses that have earned the highest rating（评级）in the world, seven are in India．That's largely because they have used new methods rejected by American software specialists．For example, for decades, quality specialists, W．Edwards Deming and J．M．Juran had urged U.S．software companies to change their attitudes to quality．But their quality call mainly fell on deaf ears in the U.S -- but not in Japan．By the 1970s and 1980s, Japan was grabbing market share with better, cheaper products．They used Deming's and Juran's ideas to bring down the cost of good quality to as little as 5% of total production costs．In U.S．factories, the cost of quality then was 10 times as high: 50%．In software, it still is．
Watts S．Humphrey spent 27 years at IBM heading up software production and then quality assurance．But his advice was seldom paid attention to．He retired from IBM in 1986．In 1987, he worked out a system for assessing(evaluating) and improving software quality．It has proved its value time and again．For example, in 1990 the cost of quality at Raytheon Electronics Systems was almost 60% of total software production costs．It fell to 15% in 1996 and has since further dropped to below 10%．
Like Deming and Juran, Humphrey seems to be winning more praises overseas than at home．The Indian government and several companies have just founded the Watts Humphrey Software Quality Institute at the Software Technology Park in Chennai, India．Let's hope that U.S．lead in software will not be eaten up by its quality problems．
64．What country has more highest-rating companies in the world than any other country has?
A．India．B．The US. C．Brazil．D．Germany．65．Which of the following statements about Humphrey is true?
A．He is now still an IBM employer．
B．He has worked for IBM for 37 years．
C．India honors him highly．
D．The US pays much attention to his quality advice．
66．By what means did Japan grab its large market share by the 1970s and the 1980s?
A．Its advertising was most successful．
B．Its products were cheaper in price and better in quality．
C．The US hardware industry was falling behind．
D．Japan hired a lot of Indian software specialists．
67．What is the writer worrying about?
A．Many US software specialists are working for Japan．
B．The quality problem has become a worldwide problem．
C．India and Japan are joining hands to compete with the US．
D．The US will no longer be the first software player in the world．
D
What's this film selling?
If you've ever seen a James Bond movie you'll know that the hero gets around in a smart Aston Martin car．Even if you know full well that you could never afford such an expensive vehicle, you don't forget the name, or the car.
Why? You have been subjected to product placement(植入式广告).
Companies pay a film to place their products in the movie．Product placement took off in the West in the 1980s and is now catching on in China．Two Hunan Satellite TV dramas are recent examples: Ugly Wudi and Let's Go Watch the Meteor Shower .
Shampoo, mobile phones, cars and fitness centers–anything can be product-placed．Advertisers value the mass appeal of the movies, knowing that a successful film can showcase their goods to hundreds of thousands of viewers．But when product placement takes over, artistic considerations can take a back seat.
Cai Zhiyong has been product-placing for years．The Beijing-based advertiser admits there is a conflict between art and business．He explains the way one ad works．In If You are the One, the actress Shu Qi plays a flight attendant (空姐)．The movie contains product placement for airline companies.
Cash-strapped filmmakers often have to sacrifice the quality of their work because they need money from advertisers．In the original story for Meteor Shower, the heroine's mother owned an ice cream shop．But no ice cream company wanted to sponsor (赞助) the film．For this reason, the story was changed．In the film the man drinks 20 cups of milk tea where it was originally intended that he would eat ice cream.
Even here though, you may see the power of business over the movies, since the script was perhaps written so a product could be placed – whether it was ice cream or milk tea．
68．James Bond movies are mentioned in the first paragraph to show ______.
A．how popular James Bond is
B．how great the Aston Martin car is
C．how to make a movie more artistic
D．how effectively product placement work
69．Product placement can have a bad effect on the ______ of a movie.
A．atmosphere B．mass appeal
C．commercial success D．artistic value
70．What does the underlined word "cash-strapped" in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
A．Short of money．B．Self-financed．
C．With abundant cash．D．Intending to earn money.
71．We can learn from the adaptation of Meteor Shower that ______.
A．business has a big say in the movie
B．the original story was not suitable for a movie
C．filmmakers are more concerned about making money
D．milk tea companies are more successful than ice cream companies

I am a good mother of three children．I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way
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 mean what they say．I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me．
So here’s what I wanted to tell you today: Get a life．A real life, not a desire of the next
Get a life in which you are not alone．Find people you love, and who love you．And remember that love is not leisure(休闲),it is work．Pick up the phone．Send an e-mail．Write a letter．And
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．
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
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

On Wednesday of this Cultural & Art week, we had the honor of inviting Professor Hudson, a foreign teacher from Zhongshan University, to give an English lesson to the students of Class 8, Grade 1．All the students were deeply impressed by this unforgettable English lesson．The professor began the class with an amusing English story, which attracted the attention of all the students at once．He spoke slowly and clearly so that students could follow him well．Greatly inspired, most of the students took an active part in his class．After class, many students interviewed sang high praise for his teaching．They said never before had they experienced so interesting a class．
From his lesson, students came to a conclusion that it is not so difficult to learn English if they try various ways．（126）。
