阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项
A
While waiting to pick up a friend at the airport in Portland, Oregon, I had an experience which occurred merely two feet away from me.
Trying to locate my friend among the passengers coming through the jet way, I noticed a man walking toward me carrying two light bags. He stopped right next to me to greet his family.
First he kissed his three children one by one and said, “It’s nice to see you.
I missed y ou so much!” Then he hugged his wife, “I’ve saved the best for last!” giving her the longest, most passionate kiss I ever remember seeing. They stared
at each other’s eyes, smil ing at one another, while holding both hands. For an instant they reminded me of newlyweds, but I knew by the age of their kids that they couldn’t possibly be.
Full of admiration, I asked, “Wow! How long have you two been married?” “Being together for fourteen years total, married twelve of those.” He replied, without breaking his g aze from his lovely wife’s face. “Well, then, how long have you been away?” I asked. “Two whole days!” “Two days?” I was astonished. By the intensity （热烈）of the greeting, I had assumed he’d been gone for at least several weeks — if not months. I knew my expression betrayed me, so I turned away my eyes and said quietly, “I hope my marriage is still that passionate after so long!”
The man suddenly stopped smiling and looked at me straight in the eye. With forcefulness he told me something that left me a different person. “Don’t hope, friend…decide!” Then he smiled again, shook my hand and said, “God bless!”
With that, he and his family turned and walked away together.
I was still watching that man and his special family walk just out of sight when my friend came up to me and asked, “What are you looking at?” Without hesitation, and with a curious sense of certainty, I replied, “My future!”

Can you understand the beginning of this essay?
“My smmr hols wr CWOT. B4, we usd 2 go 2 NY 2C my bro, hisGf & 3 kds FTF.”
The Scottish teacher who received it in class had no idea what the girl who wrote it meant. The essay was written in a form of English used in cell phone text messages. Text messages （also called SMS） through cell phones became very popular in the late 1990s. At first, mobile phone companies thought that text measuring would be a good way to messages to customers, but customers quickly began to use the text messaging service to send messages to each other. Teenagers in particular enjoyed using text messaging, and they began to create a new language for messages called
“texting.”
A text message is limited to 160 characters, including letters, spaces, and numbers, so messages must be kept short. In addition, typing on the small keypad of a cell phone is difficult, so it’s common to make words shorter. In texting, a single letter or number can represent a word, like “r” for “are”, “u” for “you”, and “2” for “to”. Several letters can also represent a phrase, like “lol”for “laughing out loud”. Another characteristic of texting is the leaving out of letters in a word, like spelling “please” as “pls”.
Some parents and teachers worry that texting will make children bad spellers and bad writers. The students who wrote the essay at the top of this page said writing that way was more comfortable for her. （The essay said, “My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three kids face to face.”）
Not everyone agrees that texting is a bad thing. Some experts say languages always develop, and this is just another way in which English is changing. Other people believe texting will disappear soon. New technology for voice messages may soon make text messages a thing of the past.
60．What is the writer’s opinion of text messaging?
A．The writer does not give his opinions. B．It is not bad for children.
C．It will make children bad writers. D．It is fun and easy to do. 61．Which characteristic of texting is NOT described in the passage?
A．Using letters to represent words B．Using phrases to represent essays.
C．Using letters to represent phrases D．Using numbers to represent words.
62．Which of the following was most probably the title of the student’s essay?
A．My Smmr Hols B．CU in LA C．My GF D．M Gr8 Tchr 63．Why aren’t some people worried about the effect of texting?
A．Not many people use texting
B．Spelling in English is too difficult
C．Teenagers quickly become bored with texting
D．Texting will disappear because of new technology.
C
Sign has become a scientific hot button. Only in the past 20 years have specialists in language study realized that signed languages are unique ----a speech of the hand. They offer a new way to probe how the brain generates and understands language, and throw new light on an old scientific controversy （争论）: whether language, completed with grammar, is something that we are born with, or whether it is a learned behavior. The current interest in sign language has roots in the pioneering work of one rebel teacher at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C., the world’s only liberal arts university for deaf people.
When Bill Stokoe went to teach English, the school enrolled him in a course in signing. But Stokoe noticed something odd; among themselves, students signed differently from his classroom teacher.
Stokoe had been taught a sort of gestural （手势） code, each movement of the hands representing a word in English. At the time, American Sign Language （ASL）was thought to be no more than a form of pidgin English （混杂英语）. But Stokoe
believed the “hand talk”his students used looked richer. He wondered: Might deaf people actually have a genuine language? And could that language be unlike any other on Earth? It was 1955, when even deaf people dismissed their signing as “substandard”. Stokoe’s idea was academic heresy （异端邪说）.
It is 37 years later. Stokoe —now devoting his time to writing and editing books and journals and to producing video materials on ASL and the deaf culture --- is having lunch at a café near the Gallaudet campus and explaining how he started a revolution. For decades educators fought his idea that signed languages are natural languages like English, French and Japanese. They assumed language must be based on speech, the modulation（调节） of sound. But sign language is based on the movements of hands, the modulation of space. “What I said,” Stokoe explains, “is that language is not mouth stuff （素材）--- it’s brain stuff.”
64．The study of sign language is thought to be ________.
A．a new way to look at the learning of language
B．a challenge to traditional views on the nature of language
C．an approach to simplifying the grammatical structure of a language
D．an attempt to clarify misunderstanding about the origin of language
65．Most educators objected to Stokoe’s idea because they thought _____.
A．sign language was not extensively used even by deaf people
B．sign language was too artificial to be widely used and understood
C．a language should be easy to use and understand
D．a language could only exist in the form of speech sounds
66．Stokoe’s argument is based on his belief that _____.
A．sign language is as efficient as any other language
B．sign language is derived from natural language
C．language is a system of meaningful codes
D．language is a product of the brain.

Does success make you happy, or does happiness make you successful? 71 . Their quest for answers has recently produced a 50-page article in Psychological Bulletin, which reviewed 225 scientific studies on this topic. 72 __ ? The short answer is that while success probably does make people happy （it’s better than failure, at any rate）, it is also true that having a happy temperament —defined in the article as “long-term propensity （倾向） to frequently experience positive emotions”—enables you to do the things that turn into success. Your “positive effect”, which is the outward sign of your happiness, will make it more likely that you’ll land the job, find friends, form a happy marriage or other close long-term relationships, make money, be loved in your community, and be healthy. The evidence concerning health is only suggestive. 73_. We do know from other research that having friends, love, respect, social support, and agreeable employment as well as optimism and a positive attitude do tend in the long run to make people healthier.
Plowing through their accumulated evidence, the researchers asked whether happy people are better off, whether they cope better, whether they reap larger social rewards, and whether they have stronger immune systems. The answers are always yes, even though the evidence for their immune system is, again, only suggestive. 74 . They seek out other people; they solve problems creatively, and as they are more flexible, they are better able to adapt to adversity （逆境）. 75 A．Happy people tend to say they are healthy, but that doesn’t mean they really are
B．This might be a pleasant topic to debate over tea some afternoon, but for psychologists, poll-takers, economists, and other observers of behavior, it’s crucial
C．Perhaps the most that can be said is in the study’s conclusion: happiness is a great asset （资产）, but no guarantee of a perfect life
D．Do you know why the researchers attach great importance to this problem
E．So what did the researchers find out
F．In conclusion, happiness leads to success and vice versa
G．But happy people seem to do better socially
71．______ 72．______ 73．________ 74．__________ 75．_________
