Last week I visited one of my old neighborhoods in Washington D.C.I had not been there for twenty years and as I walked along the street, my mind was flooded by memories of the past. I saw the old apartment building where I had lived and the playground where I had played. As I viewed these once familiar surroundings, images of myself as a child there came to mind. However, what I saw and what I remembered were not the same. I sadly realized that the best memories are those left untouched.
My old apartment building, as I remember, was bright and alive. It was more than just a place to live. It was a movie house, a space station, or whatever my young mind could imagine. I would steal away with my friends and play in the basement. This was always exciting because it was so cool and dark, and there were so many things there to hide among. There was a small river in the back of the building. We would go there to lie in the shade of trees and enjoy ourselves.
However, what I saw was completely different. The apartment building was now in disrepair. What was once more than a place to live looked hardly worth living in. The windows were all broken. The once clean walls were covered with dirty marks. The river was hardly recognizable. The water was polluted and the trees and flowers were all dead. The once sweet-smelling river now smelled terrible. It was really heartbreaking to see all this.
I do not regret having seen my old neighborhood. However, I do not think my innocent childhood memories can ever be the same. I suppose it is true when they say, “You can never go home again.”
58. In the first two paragraphs of the passage the writer tells us that _________.
A. he was very imaginative when he was a child
B. he came from a very poor neighborhood
C. he lived in Washington
D.C. for twenty years
D. he had pleasant memories of his old neighborhood
59. How did the writer feel when he visited his old neighborhood in Washington
D.C.?
A. Very sad.
B. Quite excited.
C. Very regretful.
D. Greatly surprised.
60. On his visit to his hometown, the writer found the old apartment building __________.
A. had been repaired
B. seemed unfit to live in
C. could hardly be recognized
D. looked dirty and smelt horrible
61. “You can never go home again” in the last sentence of the passage m eans that _________.
A. a visit to one's hometown will bring back many sad memories
B. one should never revisit his hometown after many years of absence
C. one will never find his hometown the same as it was in his childhood memory
D. a visit to one's hometown will bring back one's pleasant memories of home

People who spend more pre-bedtime hours using the Internet or watching television are more likely to report that they don’t get enough sleep, even though they sleep almost as long as people who spend fewer pre-bedtime hours in front of a computer or television screen, survey findings show.
“While many people use electronic media, such as the Internet, it should be noted that the longer media use before sleep can trigger (self-perceived) insuffic ient sleep,” lead researcher Dr Nakamori Suganuma, of Osaka University, Japan, told the reporter.
He and colleagues obtained data on self-perceived sleep problems and the use of electronic media prior to bedtime from a total of 5,875 Japanese respondents in two separate Internet-based surveys. Their findings are published in the journal Sleep and Biological Rhythms.
Nearly half of the respondents associated their lack of sleep with electronic media use before bedtime. Those reporting longer electronic media use were also more likely to report insufficient sleep.
Overall, 29 percent of light users (less than 1.5 hours) listed electronic media use as a possible cause of their insufficient sleep. By comparison, 40 percent of medium users (1.5 to 3 hours) and 54 percent of heavy users (more than 3 hours) said the same.
However, longer Internet and television use before bedtime did not correlate with less actual sleep. While heavy users averaged about 3 more hours in front of computer or television screens than light users, the heavy users averaged only about 12 minutes less pre-workday sleep time than light users.
Notably, Suganuma said, “Internet use affected self-perceived insufficient sleep more than TV watching ... not only in younger Internet users but also in middle-aged or aged Internet users.”
Up to 38 percent of the respondents listed accessing the Internet far into the night as a possible cause for their sleep disturbance, while about 25 percent said watching. television far into the night caused their sleep problems.
The findings suggest that while heavy computer and television use before bedtime has a small effect on sleep duration, it may have a more significant effect
on “sleep demand and sleep quality,” Suganuma notes.
62.Heavy computer and television user before bedtime are more likely to be_____ than light ones.
A. energetic
B. happy
C. accessible
D. sleepy
63. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. Heavy computer and television user before bed time have less sleeping time than light ones
B. Heavy computer and television user before bed time have worse sleep than light ones.
C. Those suffering insufficient sleep spend less time in using the Internet than in watching TV
D. Spend less time in watching TV or surfing the Internet, and you will have a better sleep.
64.The passage seems to suggest that people ________________.
A. drag themselves away from the media
B. watch TV rather than use the Internet
C. select carefully what is fit for bedtime relaxation
D. cut back on late-night Internet and TV
65.Which of the following phrases is similar in meaning to the underlined phrase in the sixth paragraph?
A. have any connection with
B. live in harmony with
C. arise from

Teens mirror negative features of mom’s friendships The manner by which a mother interacts with her friends serves as a role model for how an adolescent child develops his/her own peer friendships. Unfortunately, teens often pick up on the negative elements in a relationship, such as conflict and antagonism, and then copy these attitudes into their own relationships.
The new study investigated a previously understudied association—how a parent’s friendships influence the emotiona l well-being of their adolescent children. For the study, doctoral student Gary Glick and Amanda Rose, Ph.D., studied the development of friendships and other peer relationships during adolescence and their impact on psychological adjustment. They found that adolescents may mimic the negative characteristics of their mothers’ relationships in their own peer-to-peer friendships suggesting that mothers can serve as role models for their adolescents during formative years.
Additional findings suggest that adolescents internalize their reactions to their mothers’ conflict with adult friends which may lead to anxiety and depression.
Previous research of this type focused on elementary-aged children, but MU researchers wanted to expand their study to focus on the formative adolescent years. Youth ranging in age from 10 to 17 and their mothers were polled separately to measure perceived positive and negative friendship qualities in both groups.
Results showed that positive friendship qualities were not always imitated
by adolescents; however, negative and antagonistic relationship characteristics exhibited by mothers were much more likely to be mimicked by the youth studied. “We know that conflict is a normal part of any relationship —be it a relationship between a parent and a child, or a mother and her friends —and we’re not talking physical altercations but verbal conflicts, ” Glick said.
“But being exposed to high levels of such conflict generally isn’t going to be good for children. Parents should consider whether they are good role models for their children especially where their friends are concerned. When things go awry, parents should talk with their children about how to act with their friends, but more specifically, how not to act.”
66. What does the un derlined word “mimic” in the second paragraph most probably mean?
A. adopt
B. influence
C. copy
D. change
67. Which of the following statements can be used to describe the result of the research?
A. Even a vicious tiger will not eat its cubs.
B. Like mother, like daughter
C. One man’s meat is another man’s poison
D. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
68. What can we know from Paragraph 4?
A. Researchers did similar research in this field before
B. The present research is about pupils of all age ranges
C. Many adolescent pupils nowadays are living separately with their mothers
D. The new study only measured negative friendship qualities of mothers and children
69. What can we conclude from the new study?
A. The researchers carried out the study of this kind for the first time
B. The teenagers always react to their mothers behaviour very obviously
C. The teenagers were investigated together with their mothers
D. The teenagers imitate more negative models than positive one from their mothers
70. What suggestion is made by the author to some mothers who have conflict with their friends?
A. Parents should make friends with their children’s friends.
B. Parents should force their children to do what they are told to.
C. Parents should di scuss some dos and don’ts about friend-making with their children
D. Parents should expose their children to as much conflict as they can

注意：每个空格填1个单词。

There are good reasons to cherish our friendships. Some years ago a public-opinion research firm, Roper Starch Worldwide, asked 2007 people to name one or two things that said the most about themselves. Friends far outranked homes,
jobs, clothes and cars.
“Ironically,” says Brant R. Burleson, professor of communication at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind., “the better friends you are, the more likely you’ll face conflicts.” And the outcome can be what you don’t want—an end to the relationship.
The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended.
Swallow your pride. It wasn’ t easy, but that’s what Denise Moreland of Hickam Air Force Base in Hawaii did when a friendship turned sour. For nearly four months, Moreland, 45, had watched over Nora Huizenga’s two young daughters, who were living with their father on the base, while Huizenga, 40, completed training as a dental hygienist in Nevada. “I felt honored to be asked to step in,” Moreland says.
“When Huizenga returned at Christmas,” Moreland recalls, “I had so much to tell her, but she never called.”
One daughter had a birthday party, but Moreland wasn’t invited. “I felt like I’d been used,” she says. At first, Mor eland swore to avoid Huizenga. Then she decided to swallow her pride and let her friend know how she felt. Huizenga admitted that she’d been so worried about being separated from her family that she’d been blind to what her friend had done to help her. Tod ay she says, “I would never have figured out what happened if Denise hadn’t called me on it.”
When a friend hurts you, your instinct is to protect yourself. But that makes it harder to solve problems, explains William Wilmot, author of Relational Communica tion. “Most of us are relieved when differences are brought out in the open.”
Apologize when you’re wrong—even if you’ve also been wronged. But over the course of a friendship, even the best people make mistakes. “We don’t think clearly when we’re arguing,” says Michael Lang, a professional mediator (调解人) in Pittsburgh. Instead, says Lang, ask: “What’s going on? This doesn’t make sense.”
See things from your friend’s point of view.Sociologists Rebecca Adams Rosemary and Blieszner interviewed 53 adults who each had many friendships lasting decades. “We were curious how these people managed to sustain strong friendships for so long,” says Blieszner. Tolerance is key, the researchers learned.” It’s surprising how often a dispute results from a simple misunderstanding,” adds psychotherapist Anne Frenkel.
Accept that friendships change. “Friendships change as our needs and lifestyles change,” Wilmot observes.
Making friends can sometimes seem easy, says Yager. The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that affect all relationships. Her suggestion: Consider friendship an honor and a gift, and worth
