Last week, my granddaughter started kindergarten, and I wished her every success．But part of me didn’t ．I actually wanted her to fail in some ways becauseI believe that failure can be good for our learning process．Success is proving that you
can do something that you already know you can do, or doing something correctly the first time, which can often be a problematic victory．First-time success is usually a fluke（侥幸）．First-time failure, by contrast, is expected to be the natural order of things．Failure is how we learn．
In Africa they describe a good cook as “She who has broken many pots．”If you've spent enough time in the kitchen to have broken a lot of pots, probably you know a fair amount about cooking．I once had dinner with a group of cooks, and they spent time comparing knife wounds and burn scars．They knew how much credibility their failures gave them．
I earn my living by writing a daily newspaper column．Each week I am aware that one column I write will be my worst ．I don't set out to write it; I try my best every day．I have learned to cherish that column．A successful column usually means that I am discussing my familiar topic, writing in a style I am used to or saying the same things as anyone else but in a fancy way．
My younger daughter is a trapeze artist．She spent three years putting together a show, and she did it successfully for years．There was no reason for her to change it but she did anyway．She said she was no longer learning anything new and she was bored．And if she was bored, there was no point in subjecting her body to all that stress．She risked failure and profound public embarrassment in order to feed her soul．
My granddaughter is a perfectionis．She will feel her failures, and I will want to comfort her．But I will also, I hope, remind her of what she learned, and how she can do better next time．I hope I can tell her, though, that it's not the end of the world．Indeed, with luck, it is the beginning．
59．Why did the author want his granddaughter to fail?
A．Success is boring though beneficial．
B．She would learn more from failure．
C．It’s impossible to do ever ything successfully．
D．He wanted her to be strong enough to face hardships．
60．What’s the author’s attitude toward his daughter changing her show?
A．Negative．B．Worried．C．Positive．D．Excited．61．The author develops the article mainly by ．
A．giving examples B．following the time order
C．comparing different opinions D．presenting a cause and analyzing its effects 62．The writer talked about his own experience to show that ．A．we cannot depend on luck to live a good life
B．we should try every possible way to avoid failure
C．past failures made him dare not take risks in writing
D．the thought of failure will make you work even harder
C
What exactly is intelligence? There aren’t any easy answers．Despite the progress that has been made in genetics and psychology, human intelligence has remained one of the most controversial areas of modern science，until now, that is, for the discovery of a gene（基因）linked to intelligence has made the experts think again．
Robert Plomin of the Institute of Psychiatry in London and his colleagues in the US have been looking into genetic make-up．From their research, they have discovered that a slightly different gene is more common in those with a high IQ．Plomin analyzed DNA from two groups of 51 children aged between 6 and 15．What he found was that the first group had an IQ of 136, putting them in the top 5% of the population, while the other group had an average IQ of 103．An analysis of their genes showed that 32% of children in the higher group had the gene in question, while only 16% in the second group did．However, there is a lot more research to be done, and Plomin himself is cautious at this early stage．He suggests that there are probably many genes that contribute to intelligence, rather than just one ．Several studies have shown a strong link between IQ and career success, although some psychologists remain unconvinced about this．Professor Michael Rowe, who has written a book called Genius Explained, is one of these．“The people with the highest IQs are not usually the ones who do best in their careers．”
Many psychologists now believe that when it comes to intelligence, IQ isn’t everything．Many alternative views have been put forward recently．One example is the idea of multiple intelligences, which was developed in the 1980s by Harvard psychologist Howard Gardner．This offers a much broader view than the IQ theory, including creativity and communication skills as relevant factors（因素）in intelligence．
Tony Buzan, brain expert and author of Master your Memory, is enthusiastic about this belief, arguing that true geniuses（天才）do indeed appear to combine high levels of each type of intelligence．He lists Alexander the Great, Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein as examples．At the same time, Buzan believes that everyone can develop their intelligence, only if they take the trouble to exercise their brain．Perhaps there’s hope for us all!
63．What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A．The development of intelligence．B．The idea of multiple intelligences．C．IQ isn’t everything for intelligence．D．Alternative views have been put forward．
64．Why does the author use data in Paragraph 2?
A．To make a suggestion．B．To draw a conclusion．
C．To prove an idea．D．To give an example．
65．What can we learn from the passage?
A．Robert Plomin confirms genes have something in common．
B．Howard Gardner thinks intelligence includes various factors．
C．Michael Rowe approves of a strong link between IQ and career．
D．Tony Buzan agrees geniuses exercise brain to improve intelligence．66．What might be the best title of the passage?
A．The relationship between genes and intelligence．
B．IQ benefits a lot from high intelligence．
C．How to develop intelligence．
D．What makes intelligence．

Amy returned to her small apartment at midnight, exhausted. Pushing the key into the lock, she quietly opened the door so as not to wake her younger brothers. She stepped into the front room and froze. The apartment was a mess: plates of half-eaten food were scattered in front of the TV; toys littered the floor; clothes, shoes and homework were strewn everywhere. Amy’s eyes welled with tears. This is just way too much for me, she thought. Her worst fears began to race through her mind. Would the court（法院）tell her she couldn’t care for her family anymore? Would the kids go through the bitterness once more of being split up and sent away? She was so young, almost a child herself, and yet Amy knew everything depended on her. At that moment, she wondered if she would ever find the strength to see it through
Amy had been born dead. Doctors fought and saved this smaller twin of a drug-taking mother, and she’d had to fight for everything in life ever since. From earliest childhood, Amy took care of her younger brothers. Jan, their mother, only added to the family disorder and confusion. Sometimes they lived in apartments, sometimes in shelters.
One afternoon Amy was called to the high school, where a social worker was waiting for her. “We know your mother has been staying with you,” the social worker said. “We’re going to have to put you guys in foster （收养)）care.” “No! Don’t split us up!” the girl cried out. “Can’t you just leave it the way it is?” The social worker shook his head. Amy’s voice then rose like th e howl of a lioness protecting her babies: “Why can’t I take them? I take care of them all the time anyway.” The social worker hesitated, and then said, “Maybe. Once you’re 18, you could apply to become their relative caretaker. Then you’d be their foster mother until we find a home where all of you can be together.” “I’ll do it,” Amy said.
One month later, Amy was named guardian（监护人）of her brothers for a six-month trial period. It was a remarkable victory for an 18-year-old girl. Her brothers didn’t make her task any easier in the months ahead. However，Amy’s
efforts were rewarded when the court allowed her to continue as guardian. Amy’s relief at remaining the kids’ guardian was at risk of being taken away by the pressure she always felt to measure up. Social workers still looked regularly over her shoulder and asked the boys shameful questions: “Does she feed you? Does she ever try to harm you?” Then one day a visiting social worker came over. “We’d like to get the boys out of foster care and adopted into homes,” she said. Sensing that the family was about to be split apart yet again, Amy replied, “Fine, then. Call it adoption if you want, but they’re not going anywhere.” To her surprise, the social worker took her remark seriously. She explained that if Amy were to adopt the boys, they would become like any other family.
That night at dinner Amy told the boys about the idea. “Cool!” Joey said. He threw a piece of corn at Adam. His brother flicked it back, and pretty soon corn was flying. Amy rolled her eye s. They didn’t have far to go to be like any other family. As the proceedings（程序）ended, Amy thanked everyone. “No,” the judge responded, “thank you. You saved three kids. Not many family members would do what you’re doing, especially for this many children. I’m very proud of you.”
On a lazy spring day, in a modest suburban neighborhood, Amy stood in front of a neatly kept one-story house. She watched her brothers playing basketball, and heard the playful bark of their dog, Tahoe. The young lady had made good on her promise: they had rented a home, a real home, and the boys had gotten their dog. Amy continues to raise her family alone, but has begun taking courses in business management at a nearby community college. Eventually, she hopes to become a child psychologist.
67. Which of the following best describes Amy?
A. Crazy and tough.
B. Enthusiastic and generous.
C. Firm and stubborn.
D. Abnormal and aggressive.
68. What was bothering Amy most in the passage?
A. The mess in her apartment.
B. Her family being split up again.
C. Working hard to support the family.
D. Her young age to take care of her brothers.
69. From the Paragraph 3, we can learn that __________.
A. The social worker gave in to Amy.
B. The social worker t ried to adopt Amy’s brothers.
C. Amy tried to apply for the guardian of the brothers.
D. Amy had no idea how to face her family being split up.
70. The best title for this text would be___________.
A. Standing On Two Feet
B. Growing Up Alone
C. A Lifelong Fight
D. A Teen Hero

Equal Opportunities for Quality Education
It is widely accepted that human resources are playing a very important part in China’s economic growth. Education, which greatly affects the qualities of human resources, has gone through rapid developments in recent years.
Last year, China had more than 2 million graduates from colleges or universities, and another 3.5 million graduates from vocational schools.
Despite the great developments in education, in the era of reform, lawmakers expose and criticize many problems in the developments of education, which trouble, if not anger, the public.
One of the most glaring problems i s that in China’s vast rural areas, even the most basic education is not available to some children. And elsewhere, even if they have access, the facilities available for them are still a far cry from those in cities.
Official statistics show that at the primary stage, there are a big number of rural students who drop out of school because they do not have the money to pay their tuition fees.
At college level, there have been some big increases in tuition fees over the last few years. So, some students from rural areas have also been forced to abandon their dreams.
China has a long tradition of valuing education and Chinese parents are willing to save each and every penny to support their children’s schooling. But in a nation of more than 1.3 billion people, upholding equal opportunities in the education sector is a discouraging task.
The central government is dedicated to quickening the development of the cause. It will cancel rural school fees and offer the children in poverty－stricken areas financial support so they can all enjoy the equal education and complete the nine－year compulsory schooling programme.
The most important part of the issue lies in the amount of cash put into it. On the other hand, it is more than an issue of fiscal input﹙财政收入﹚. The unbalanced distribution of resources between rural and urban schools risks slowing down the future of China’s vast rural areas, where two thirds of the population live.
Education is undoubtedly the long－term lifeline of citizens. Good education promotes more than personal well－being or the fulfillment of individual ambition. As individual ability grows, the nation will become stronger and more prosperous.
Equality in education is vital to the sustainability of our nation’s economic progress. It has a big influence on every citizen’s quality of life, so the government must do all it can to achieve this goal.

Health Care
From the picture, we can see that the old man was suffering from heart trouble/attack. He had to go to hospital for medical care. When he saw the medical bill with $5,0000 from the hospital, he was so shocked that he couldn’t stand on his feet. It was beyond what he could afford．It’s really another heart attack for him.
At present, many people can’t afford heavy medical fees. Because of this, they may get into deep debt in order to get proper medical care . Worse still, some cannot borrow any money so they have to bear the pain of diseases or wait for the last day of their life. What a pity!
To solve the problem, we strongly call for the medical expenses to be reduced．The government should build up medical insurance system, and try its best to explore and develop a new health care so that everyone will be able to enjoy their life as long as possible. / Only in this way can we enjoy our life as long as possible.。
