Text 1
WhenKatherine Chon was in fifth grade．she drew a“dream tree”erepresenting the path she
hopedher life would take．One branch led to Harvard Medical School，Which isexactly what her
motherhad hoped for when the Chons moved to the U．S．from SouthKorea to give their three children opportunities．
Always adiligent student，Katherine started to learn medicine at Brown．But then sheadded a
new limbto her dream tree—one mat her mother still doesn’t understand．Shocked bythe misfortune of some South Korean women，Katherine joinedforces with another Brown student to form the Polaris Project，now one ofthe largest
anti-human-trafficking organizations in the country，“It wasreally hard for my
parents，”says Katherine．“They had so many life stresses so their children could、get a greateducation and have a comfortable life．”
Thedreams of parents and children often differ，but the conflict canbe especially painful in
first-generationimmigrant families where the parents have made enormous sacrifices．Lisa Park，an assistantprofessor at the University of California，San Diego，says that：the focus ofevery family that moves to the United States to provide opportunities for theirchildren is almost always on the future，with little mentionof the circumstances that compelled them to move．And even though the parentsare the ones working 12-hour days，the children ale also under intense pressure to perform in ways thatwill justify the parents’ sacrifice．
Thecontrast between parents’ dreams andchildren’s realities can be particularly sharp for
daughterswho have grown up with almost infinite opportunities．Theirmothers often came from
placeswhere opportunities for women were limited，which makes thedaughters’choices even harder tounderstand．Mary Lugemwa’s parents encouraged her to study math or science atHarvard．
Shecomplied at first，majoring in computer science．But she is currentlyworking as a film producer for a nonprofit organization called Meaningful Media．“I sometimesfeel guilty，”she says，
“having chosen,to bean artist，because I know that if I had chosen a scientific background，I could helpmy parents a lot more．”
46．WhenKatherine Chon was a fifth—grader，________．
[A]shehad a great interest in drawing
[B]she had a clear vision of her future
[C]shehad an independent personality
[D]she had a desire to study in the U．S．
47．It can be inferredfrom the text that Katherine’s mother_______．
[A]wasdisappointed at her daughter’s decision
[B]wasshocked by the suffering of some women
[C]failedto give her kids enough opportunities
[D]failedto realize her own dream to be a doctor
48：According tothe text，in first—generation immigrant families，the parents feelfrustrated if
[A]theyfail to adjust to the circumstances
[B]theyare forced to make great sacririces
[C]theirchildren fail to focus on the future
[D]theirchildren develop against their wishes
49．According toLisa Park，first—generation immigrant children_______．
[A]avoidthe slightest mention of their parents’ past
[B]focuson seizing chances for future development
[C]workvery hard to justify their parents’ sacrifices
[D]areunder pressure to fulfill their parents’ dreams
50．We learnfrom Mary Lugemwa’s case that_______．
[A]herparents cherished opportunities more than she did
[B]herparents’ dreams and her reality could bebalanced
[C]shehad a quite different view of life from her parents
[D]sheenjoyed infinite opportunities in career development

MothersAgainst Drunk Driving(MADD)has launched a new public awareness campaign aimedat Canadian Justice Minister Irwin Cotler．“Enough is Enough”advocatesdropping the Criminal Code’s blood alcohol concentration(BAC)limit from 0．08 to 0．05 percent，to“protectinnocent drivers on our roads．”MADD Canada CEO Andrew Murie thinks tllat lowering the BAC limitcould result in a 6-to-18 percent reduction in crash deaths．Butquestions have been raised about the science behind that campaign．MADDselectively cites a report published in 2002 by Robert Mann of the MentalHealth
Centre．Mama，in turn，had gotthose numbers from two separate studies whose data was selected from Sweden andAustralia．The conclusions in Mann’s report seem to ignore the Swedish authors’numerouswarnings and cautions，as well as the limitations in the Australian study．First，theAustralian study examined the effectiveness of breath testing，not loweredBAC levels，on fatal traffic crashes．Also．thatresearch was started in 1976 when“liquid lunches”were far more common．What’s more．the Australian data varied：whereas the state ofQueensland saw the 18 percent decline in fatal accidents cited by MADD’s Murie，inneighboring New South Wales，fatal accidents decreased just 8 percent．
It isalso reported by the Ontario Community Council that the majority of drivers inalcoholrelated fatal erashes are repeat offenders with BACs over
0．15percent-meaning that the problem is drivers who repeatedly get behind the wheelwith BAC levels twice the legal limit．not social drinkerswho consume a glass of wine or tw0．This makes MADD’sconcern seem wasteful，given the downward trend in alcohol-related tramc deaths．
TheCanada Safety Council，the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators and theTraffic Injury Research Foundation take issue with MADD’s campaign．Even theOntario Community Council has determined that lowering the BAC would mean morework for police and the courts．
But toMADD’s Murie，the math question is simple：“If you lower BAClimits，regardless to what
level，you’ll saveCanadian lives．”Unfortunately，the math doesn’t quite add up．
51．MADDlaunched a public awareness campaign in order to_______．
[A]criticizethe Justice Minister
[B]improve BAC measurement
[C]restrictdrivers’access to alcohol
[D]revise the law regarding drunk driving
52．From thetext we learn that MADD cites a report that________．
[A]justifiesits new campaign
[B]is favored by the authorities
[C]sumsup major public concerns
[D]is mentioned in two other studies
53．It isimplied in the text that Mann’s report is unreliable because_______．
[A]itwas based on some unsound research
[B]itgot its data from two inconsistent studies
[C]itwas written in conditions no longer valid
[D]itignored the limitations of the studies cited
54．The textindicates that MADD’s campaign_______．
[A]willnot affect social drinkers
[B]mayturn out to be of little value
[C]isgoing to reduce governmental labor
[D]haswon support from some organizations
55．The writer’sattitude towards the campaign is_______．
[A]satirical
[B]scornful
[C]suspicious
[D]supportive
Text 3
A recentstudy demonstrated how powerful a few words can be：Fortycompetitive tennis players were shown digital images of balls coming their way．Just beforeeach ball appeared，the players
saw orheard comments like“Good shot”or“Bad shot．”The reaction times of players hearing
negativeremarks were measurably slower．And these were athletes who trained frequently to play a consistentgame and not make unforced errors．What isthe explanation? Negative feedbackweakens anyone’s belief in his or her ability to
succeed．But if youcan hold on to a winning attitude，you’ll make a greater effort and also create
positivedrive．Confident people inspire others；opportunities seemto come their way more often．
Theybecome magnets for success．
Learnthe importance of giving yourself pep talks,and keep the voice in yourhead positive.
The bestathletes，success is rarely due to raw talent alone．It’s becausethey’re simply better pre。

pared．They stayfocused，they’re willing to work as、hard as they need to，and theykeep the positive voice in their heads switched on．
Perhapsthe most important aspect of being your own coach is to do what any outside adviserora good parent．for that matter--would preach：practice，practice，practice．Avoidindividuals
who suckyour energy and diminish your confidence．Hang out with thepeople who
see you at your best．and remind you about it very often．Pessimists drag youdown，as do whiners and critics．If there，s onewinning behavior that people building confidence should model，it’s thewillingness to get back into the game after a setback．Don’t nurseyour wounds.
Thereare，however，important warnings．Panicking can compound a small misstep by causing
you tolose your head and forget to think clearly．If you suffer aterrible loss，give yourself time to
absorbthe blow．Don’t deny the hurt or try to solve the problem immediately．Gather yoursupport system around you and simply get nurtured．Sitting around andthinking about your loss is the worst thing you can do to solve your problem．
56．We learnfrom the first paragraph that_______．
[A]excellentperformance often goes with well-trained players
[B]excellentperformance often goes with positive comments
[C]high-techmethods help players avoid unforced errors
[D]high-techmethods increase players’competitiveness

Ann Best：
Yourspecial report on new medicines showed there is thrilling promise in future “cures”for so
manydiseases that threaten mankind．But how will"ordinary folks pay for these modem miracles?
One drugcompany is hopeful that the savings involved in developing these medicines“willtranslate into pure profit for investors．”This can onlyrestilt in a problem for me：Shall I buy food，pay therent or get the medicines I need?
Tom Waken：
As acitizen who has been critical of drug companies because of the high drug price，I found
thatyour report about the new medicines has softened my stand．Thecompanies say they have to charge more for their drugs so they can do researchfor better medicines．Now that I’ve read about the newer and better drugs，1 willgladly go on paying for my medications，knowing I am makinga good investment in better living．Robert H．Kamm：
We allwant to live longer and healthier lives，but taking pills torescue us from our self-abusive lifestyle only masks real problems and ends upcosting us billions of dollars a year．We oqght
to beinvesting at。

least as much in trying to discover why millions of us behave inways that are not in our best interest smoking，drinking，0verworking，
under-exercisingand generally doing things that are bad for our health．John J．Bagshaw：
The costof poor health is shocking and goes well beyond dollars．But theapproach that offers the best solution，reduces risk，cuts demandand gets people healthy and fit is prevention．The U．S．is a nationof chronic diseases．It will get much worse．because we never deal with the causes．Individual Americansneed to bring this issue to a boil and keep it there until we get a health—care systembased on prevention．
Laurel Woods：
While Iapplaud the research being done in the field of medicine．I arn alsoaware that good
thingscan go bad in an instant．I have heart disease．and I had a negative reaction to a new treatment：the resultwas a long hospital stay．We should remember that caution has to be applied when being treatedwith a new medicine．Nothing will replace the human element that must be present in acaring medical community．Nowmatch the name of each pemon(61 to 65)to the appropriate statement．
