We lived in a very quiet neighborhood.One evening I heard a loud crash in the street.Earlier that evening my wife had asked me to go to the store to get some soft drinks.It seemed like this would be a good time to let my teenage daughter Holly practice her driving，so I sent her to the store in my truck.
At dinner my son talked about how much he liked my truck.I enjoyed having it，but I said，“Guy，my heart is not set on that truck.I like it but it is just metal and won’t last forever.Never set your heart on anything that won’t last.”
After hearing the loud noise，the whole family ran outside.My son shouted，“Dad！Dad，Holloy crashed your truck.”
My heart sank and my mind was flooded with conflicting thoughts.Was anyone hurt？Who else was involved？As I ran to the door，I heard a voice in my heart say，“Here is a chance to show Holly what you really love.She’ll never forget it.”
The accident had occurred in my own driveway.Holly had crashed my truck into our other vehicle，the family van (搬运车)．In her inexperience，she had confused the brakes and the gas pedal.Holly was unhurt physically，but when I reached her，she was crying and saying，“Oh，Dad，I’m sorry.I know how much you love this truck.”
I held her in my arms as she cried.
Later that week a friend stopped by and asked what had happened to my truck.I told her the whole story.Her eyes moistened and she said，“That happened to me when I was a girl.I borrowed my dad’s car and ran into a log that had fal len across the road.I ruined the car.When I got home my dad knocked me to the ground and began to kick me.”
Over 40 years later，she still felt the pain of the night.It was a deep wound on her soul.
I remember how sad Holly was the night she crashed our truck，and how I comforted her.One day，when Holly thinks back on her life，I want her to know that I love her a thousand times more than any piece of property.
I repaired the van，but the dent(凹痕) in my truck is still there today.Every day it reminds me of what really matters in my life.(2011·宁德模拟) 60．Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?
A．All Is Well That Ends Well
B．How to Educate Children
C．What Really Matters
D．He Who Makes No Mistakes Makes Nothing
61．According to the passage，th e underlined word “moistened” can be replaced by “________”．
A．lit up B．became wet C．were wide open D．were closed 62．According to the passage，it was because________ that the crash was caused.
A．something was wrong with the brakes
B．Holly mistook the gas pedal for the brakes
C．Holly was drinking a soft drink while driving
D．the family van was parked in the wrong place

C．love is more important than possessions
D．we should always forgive others’ mistakes

Pop stars today enjoy what once only belonged to the royalty(皇室)．Wherever they go，people turn out in their thousands to greet them.The crowds go wild trying to catch a brief glimpse of their smiling，colorfully dressed idols.The stars are transported in their chauffeur driven Rolls­Royces，private helicopters or executive aeroplanes.They are surrounded by a permanent entourage (随从) of managers，press agents and bodyguards.Photographs of them appear regularly in the press and all their comings and goings are reported，for，like royalty，pop stars are news.If they enjoy many of the privileges of royalty，they certainly share many of the inconveniences as well.It is dangerous for them to make unscheduled appearances in public.They must be constantly shielded from the adoring crowds who idolize them.They are no longer private individuals，but public property.The financial rewards they receive for this sacrifice cannot be calculated，for their rates of pay are great.
And why not？Society has always rewarded its top entertainers lavishly.The great days of Hollywood have become legendary：famous stars enjoy fame，wealth and adulation(奉承) on an all­time scale.By today’s standards，the excesses of Hollywood do not seem quite so spectacular.A single gramophone record nowadays may earn much more in royalties than the films of the past ever did.The competition for the title “Top of the Pops” is fierce，but the rewards are truly huge.
It is only right that the stars should be paid in this way.Don’t the top men in industry earn enormous salaries for the service they perform to their companies and their countries？Pop stars earn vast sums in foreign currency—often more than large industrial companies—and the taxman can only be grateful for their massive annual contributions to the exchequer(国库)．So who would begrudge them their rewards?
It’s all very well for people in boring jobs to com plain about the success and rewards of others.People who make envious remarks should remember that the most famous stars represent only the tip of the iceberg.For every famous star，there are hundreds of others struggling to earn a living.A man working in a steady job and looking forward to a pension at the end of it has no right to expect very high rewards.He has chosen security and peace of mind，so there will always be a limit to what he can earn.But a man who attempts to become a star is taking enormous risks.He knows at the outset that only a handful of competitors ever get to the very top.He knows that years of concentrated effort may be rewarded with complete failure.But he knows，too，that the rewards for success are very high indeed：they are the payback for the huge risks involved and once he makes it，he will certainly earn them.That’s the essence of private enterprise.
64．The author develops the passage mainly by________.
A．comparing different ideas B．giving explanations
C．inferring D．listing typical examples 65．The underlined word “begrudge” in the third paragraph is the closest in meaning to________.
A．be jealous of B．be satisfied with
C．be anxious about D．be crazy about
66．According to the passage，which of the following can match the view of the author?
A．He who laughs last laughs best.
B．If you venture nothing，you will gain nothing.
C．He who makes no mistakes makes nothing.
D．Success belongs to the persevering.
67．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．People are blind in idolizing stars.
B．There is fierce competition in becoming pop stars.
C．The government taxes pop stars very little.
D．Pop stars’ life is more luxurious than that of royalty.
D
In the quest for better health，many people turn to doctors，self­help books or herbal supplements.But they overlook a powerful weapon that could help them fight illness and depression，speed recovery，slow aging and prolong life：their friends.
Researchers are only now starting to pay attention to the importance of friendship and social networks in overall health.A 10­year Australian study found that older people with a large circle of friends were 22 percent less likely to die during the study period than those with fewer friends.A large 2007 study showed an increase of nearly 60 percent in the risk for obesity among people whose friends gained weight.And last year，Harvard researchers reported that strong social ties could promote brain
health as we age.
“In general，the role of friendship in our lives isn’t well appreciated，” said Rebecca G．Adams，a professor of sociology at the University of North Carolina，Greensboro.“There are a lot of things on families and marriage，but very little on friendship.It baffles me.Friendship has a bigger impact on our psychological well­being than family relationships.”
Bella DePaulo，a visiting psychology professor at the University of California，Santa Barbara，whose work focuses on single people and friendships，notes that in many studies，friendship has an even greater effect on health than a spouse or a family member.
It isn’t entirely clear why friendship has such a big effect.It may be because people with strong social ties also have better access to health services and care.Beyond that，however，friendship clearly has a profound psychological effect.People with strong friendships are less likely than others to get colds，perhaps because they have lower stress levels.
Last year，researchers studied 34 students at the University of Virginia，taking them to the base of a steep hill and fitting them with a weighted backpack.They were then asked to estimate the steepness of the hill.Some participants stood next to friends during the exercise，while others were alone.
The students who stood with friends gave lower estimates of the steepness of the hill.And the longer the friends had known each other，the less steep the hill appeared.
“People with stronger friendship networks feel like there is someone they can turn to，” said Karen A．Roberto，director of the center for gerontology(老年医学) at Virginia Tech.“Friendship is an undervalued resource.The consistent message of these studies is that friends make your life better.”
68．What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．People should make friends as many as possible.
B．Friendships do great good to human health.
C．People with friends have optimistic attitude.
D．Several studies have been done on friendships.
69．Which of the following is TRUE?
A．People haven’t attached importance to friendships.
B．A friend can replace doctors and self­help books.
C．People with many friends may have higher stress levels.
D．People who have friends tend to be fat.
70．In Paragraph 2 the author aims to tell us________.
A．friendship has a strong physical effect on people’s health
B．we cannot be too careful when making friends
C．older people are likely to have fewer friends
D．60 percent of the people without friends will become fat when they get old 71．According to Karen A．Roberto，________.
A．the effect of friendships is overvalued
B．studies on friendships make our life better
C．friends are more important than family members
D．friends can help each other when faced with problems

Kevin Bankston，an engineer at the Electronic Frontier Foundation，was surprised to see his face in a street­level image on an online map a few years ago.Worse still，he was captured smoking outside the EFF offices in San Francisco，and he had been trying to hide his habit from his family.
“That’s a relatively mild incident，but it shows how easy it is for the
technology to threaten an individual’s privacy，” Bankston said at the conference，where Google on Tuesday announced its new street­level map view.Google’s feature allows users viewing San Francisco to zoom (放大) in close enough to read street signs and even see inside front windows.
“It is irresponsible for Google to produce a product like this without taking technological measures that would obscure (使模糊) the identities of people photographed by this product，” he said.“If the Google car happened to pa ss your house at the right moment it could even capture you in an embarrassing state of undress，as you close your curtains，for example.”
The Google map feature offers a way to request the removal of photos and will take down images if a person requests.
However，removing images of people after the fact doesn’t entirely solve the problem，Bankston said.“That is of limited use if you don’t know the image is on the site and by the time you find out，whatever privacy harm may already have occurred，” he said.
Googl e removed photos of women’s shelters before launching the feature，said Cindy Southworth，director of technology at the Washington，D.C.­based National Network to End Domestic Violence，which is the umbrella group for state shelters.
“We don’t want to call att ention to the shelters，” Southworth said.“Removing the shelters from the map greatly reduces the privacy threat to ill­treated women，”said Ashley Tan，volunteer coordinator at Woman Inc.，a San Francisco­based 24­hour domestic violence crisis line.However，there is still a chance that a bad man could see a victim’s whereabouts (行踪)．
72．We can infer that________.
A．Kevin Bankston was not fond of taking photos
B．Kevin Bankston’s family might not know his smoking habit
C．Kevin Bankston is an ordinary­looking man
D．Kevin Bankston was caught smoking in the office
73．Google’s street­level maps are most helpful to________.
A．strange drivers in a city
B．women who want to escape from the home violence
C．electronic engineers
D．sailors
74．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Google launched its new street­level map.
B．The privacy threat in the information age.
C．San Francisco，a new view on the map.
D．Google’s street­level maps raise privacy concerns.
75．Why did Kevin Bankston say that it was irresponsible for Google to produce the map?
A．Because the Google car disturbed the people.
B．Because the map created more confusion.
C．Because Google provides much business secrets to the users.
D．Because Google did not take technological measures to protect the privacy of the photographed person.

阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。

注意：每个空格只填一个单词。

Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance(pocket
money)．The purpose is to let children learn from experiences at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly.
The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family.Timing is another consideration.Some children get a weekly allowance.Others get a monthly allowance.
In any case，parents should make clear what，if anything，the child is expected to pay for with the money.At first，young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it.If they do this，they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget.Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance.
The object is to show young people that a budget demands a choice between spending and saving.Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs，like clothing or electronics.Many people who have written on the subject of allowances say it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home.These jobs are a normal part of family life.
Paying children to do extra work around the house，however，can be useful.It can even provide an understanding of how a business works.
Allowances give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with money.They can share it in the form of gifts or giving to a good cause.They can spend it by buying things they want.Or they can save it.
Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice.You have to cut costs and plan for the future.Requiring children to save part of their allowances can also open the door to future saving and investing.Many banks offer services to help children and teenagers learn about personal finance.
A saving account is an excellent way to learn about the power of compound pounding works by paying interest.So，for example，one dollar invested at two percent interest for two years will earn two cents in the first year.The second year，the money will earn two percent of one dollar and two cents，and so on.That
