I fell in love with Yosemite National Park the first time I saw it, when I was 13. My parents took us there for camping.

About 15 years ago I started seeing a lot of 45 , like toilet paper, beer cans, and empty boxes, around the area. It’s 46me why visitors started respecting the place 47 and treated such a beautiful home-like place this way.
I tried 48trash(垃圾)myself, but the job was too big. I would 49an hour or two on the job, only to find the area trashed all over again weeks later. Finally, I got so 50it that I decided something had to change.

climbers, I set a date for a 52 . On that day, more than 300 people 53 . Over three days we collected about 6,000 pounds of trash. It was amazing how much we were able to 54 . I couldn’t believe the 55we mad e —the park looked clean!
Each year volunteers come for the cleanup from everywhere. In 2007 alone, 2,945 people picked up 42,330 pounds of trash and 56 132 miles of roadway.

The Pacific island nation of Nauru used to be a beautiful place. Now it is an ecological disaster area. Nauru’s heartbr eaking story could have one good consequence —other countries might learn from its mistakes.
For thousands of years, Polynesian people lived on the remote island of Nauru, far from western civilization. The first European to arrive was John Fearn in 1798. He was the British captain of the Hunter, a whaling ship. He called the island Pleasant Island.
However, because it was very remote, Nauru had little communication with Europeans at first. The whaling ships and other traders began to visit, bringing guns and alcohol. These elements destroyed the social balance of the twelve family
groups on the island. A ten-year civil war started, which reduced the population from 1,400 to 900.
Nauru’s real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company discovere d phosphate (磷酸盐)on the island. In fact, it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all phosphate, which is a very important fertilizer for farming. The company began mining the phosphate.
A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground; it is a strip mine. When a company strip-mines, it removes the top layer of soil. Then it takes away the material it wants. Strip mining totally destroys the land. Gradually, the lovely island of Nauru started to look like the moon.
In 1968, Nauru became one of the richest countries in the world. Every year the government received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate.
Unfortunately, the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars. In addition, they used millions more dollars for personal expenses. Soon people realized that they had a terrible problem —their phosphate was running out. Ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing. By 2000, Nauru was financially ruined. Experts say that it would take approximately $433,600,000 and more than 20 years to repair the island. This will probably never happen.
61. What might be the author’s purpose in writing the text?________.
A. To seek help for Nauru’s problems.
B. To give a warning to other countries
C. To show the importance of money
D. To tell a heartbreaking story of a war.
62. What was Nauru like before the Europeans came? ________.
A. Rich and powerful
B. Modern and open
C. Peaceful and attractive
D. Greedy and aggressive
63. The ecological disaster in Nauru resulted from _______.
A. soil pollution
B. phosphate overmining
C. farming activity
D. whale hunting
64. Which of the following was a cause of Nauru’s financial problem? ________.
A. Its leaders misused the money
B. It spent too much repairing the island
C. Its phosphate mining cost much money
D. It lost millions of dollars in the civil war.
65. What can we learn about Nauru from the last paragraph?________.
A. The phosphate mines were destroyed
B. The ecological damage is difficult to repair.
C. The island was abandoned by the Nauruans
D. The leaders will take the experts’ words seriously.
B
When something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, "Well, it's so-and-so's fault. "or "I know I'm late, but it's not my fault; the car broke down. " It is probably not your fault, but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the
situation. This is the winner's key to success.
Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don't rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.
This is what being a winner is all about-creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don't have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situation to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on "whose fault it is. " Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.
66. According to the passage, winners .
A. deal with problems rather than blame others
B. meet with fewer difficulties in their byes
C. have responsible and able colleagues
D. blame themselves rather than others
67. The underlined word “remedy” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to.
A. avoid
B. accept
C. improve
D. consider
68. When your colleague brings about a problem, you should .
A. find a better way to handle the problem
B. blame him for his lack of responsibility
C. tell him to find the cause of the problem
D. ask a more able colleague for help
69. When problems occur, winners take them as .
A. excuses for their failures
B. barriers to greater power
C. challenges to their colleagues
D. chances for self-development
70. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? .
A. A Winner's Achievement.
B. A Winner's Problem.
C. A Winner's Opportnnity.
D. A Winner's Secret.

For new countries joining the European Union, and older ones getting used to their dark red passports, becoming “Europeans” is a bit like marrying into a large, eccentric(古怪的) family.
Europeans have a lot in common but it is their differences, not their similarities, that attract the attention of sociologists and market researchers, and are more interesting.
●35% of Germans live alone, but only 9% of Spaniards. Perhaps this explains why Spaniards lead Europe in the habit of going out for a drink.
●The British attend more adul t evening classes than anyone else in Europe, and the Belgians least. So it can’t just be the dark
evenings. There are no figures on how many Britons go for a drink afterwards. If there were, they might be up at the top with Spain!
●The British think black cats are lucky. Every other European country regards them unlucky.
●The Dutch and Germans are the greatest caravaners(活动房居住者), but the Germans like bigger beds in their caravans.
●The French are the most athletic Europeans. Next come the Dutch. But the Belgians, just over the border, play fewest sports.
●The Germans spend twice as much on heating as the Spaniards. Well, of course they do, it’s colder.
●Dutch husbands do the household shopping a lot more often than Italians or Spaniards.
●The French are the champion public transport commuters(经常往返者)of Europe. If you hate commuting, go and live in the Netherlands, where journeys to work are shorter than anywhere else.
●The amount of direct eye-contact between strangers is three times greater among Spaniards than it is among the British or Swedes. Sharing a lift is torture for both the British and the Swedish.
●No European countries really agree with any other about how to make good coffee. All of them are different.
There are exceptions to all these rules. Deal with them in the spirit of my 8-year-old daughter. “If you don’t understand each other’s language, you just laugh a lot, and eat, and point at things.”
71. We can know from the passage that _______.
A. sociologists are most interested in the idea of the European Union
B. all the European countries are not willing to join the European Union
C. Europeans have a lot more differences than similarities
D. trade opportunities exist in the cultural differences in the European Union
72. If you work or live in Belgium, you will _______.
A. have to change your living places often
B. not get used to its cold weather
C. seldom see people playing sports
D. be invited to go for a drink frequently
73. The underlined sentence “Sharing a lift is torture for both the Britis h and the Swedish.” means that
the British and the Swedish ________.
A. care about their safety most
B. hate to look at each other face to face
C. like to appear gentle and smart
D. enjoy a richer life than others
74. Which of the following statements is TRUE about Spain?
A. Spaniards hate direct eye-contact between strangers.
B. Spaniards like to go for a drink after dark.
C. Spaniards spend twice as much on heating as the Germans.
D. In Spain, husbands do more household shopping than those in Italy.
75. In the last paragraph, the author wants to express his idea that _______.
A. his daughter knows well how to understand foreigners in unfamiliar situations
B. Europeans actually share the same culture even if they have different languages
C. being a European, you will have no living trouble at all in
the European Union
D. there are differences between European countries, but don’t take them too seriously

It had been some time since Jack had seen the old man. College, career, and life itself got in the way. In fact, Jack moved clear across the country in pursuit of his dreams. There, in the rush of his busy life, Jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his wife and son. He was working on his future, and nothing could stop him.
Over the phone, his mother told him, “Mr. Belser died last night. The funeral is Wednesday.” Memories flashed through his mind like an old newsreel as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days.
“Jack, did you hear me?”
“Oh, sorry, Mom. Yes, I heard you. It’s been so long since I thought of him. I’m sorry, but I honestly thought he died years ago,” Jack said.
“Well, he didn’t forget you. Every time I saw him he’d ask how you were doing. He’d reminisce(回忆) about the many days you spent over ‘his side of the fence’ as he put it,” Mom told him.
“I told that old house he lived in,” Jack said.
“You know, Jack, after your father died, Mr. Belser stepped in to make sure you had a man’s influence in your life,” she said.
“He’s the one who taught me carpentry. I wouldn’t be in this business if it weren’t for him. He spent a lot of time teaching me things he thought were important… Mom, I’ll be there for the funeral,” Jack said.
Busy as he was, he kept his word. Jack caught the next flight to his hometown. Mr. Belser’s funeral was small and uneventful. He had no children of his own, and most of his relatives had passed away.
The night before he had to return home, Jack and his Mom stopped by to see the old house next door one more time, which was exactly as he remembered. Every step held memories. Every picture, every piece of furniture… Jack stopped suddenly.
“What’s wrong, Jack?” his Mom asked.
“The box is gone,” he said.
“What box?” Mom asked.
“There was a small gold box that he kept locked on top of his desk. I must have asked him a thousand times what was inside. All he’d ever tell me was ‘the thing I value most’,” Jack said.
It was gone. Everything about the house was exactly how Jack remembered it, except for the box, He
figured someone from the Belser family had taken it.
“Now, I’ll never know what was so valuable to him,” Jack said sadly.
Returning to his office the next day, he found a package on his desk. The return address caught his attention.
“Mr. Harold Belser”, it read.
Jack tore open the package. There inside was the gold box and an envelope. Jack’s hands shook as he read the note inside.
“Upon my death, please forward this box and its contents to Jack Bennett. It’s the thing I valued most in my life.” A small key was taped to the letter. His heart racing, and tears filling his eyes, Jack carefully unlocked the box. There inside he found a beautiful gold pocket watch. Running his fingers slowly over the fine cover, he opened it.
Inside he found these words carved: “Jack, Thanks for your time! Har old Belser.”
“Oh, my god! the thing he valued most…was.. .my time.”
Jack held the watch for a few minutes, then called his assistant and cleared his appointments for the next two days. “Why?” Janet, his assistant, asked.
“I need some time to spend with my son,” he s aid.
“Oh, by the way, Janet…thanks for your time!”

A. College and career prevented him from remembering Mr. Bleser.
B. Jack was too busy with his business and family to think about Mr. Belser.
C. Jack was too busy realizing his dreams to think about Mr. Belser.

I was real sad when I found my bicycle went wrong again. Tired of repairing it again and again,
I decided buy a new one. After school, I went to a shop locating in the center of the city with a
friend called Jack. The black bicycle attracted my eyes as soon as we went into the store. It looked
so cool that I could hardly wait to ride it. The shopkeepers told us that it was the latest bicycle.
He wanted to charge me for 800 yuan, that was too high for me. I just couldn’s t afford such
an expensive one. Then I choose another one, which cost him only 200 yuan. It was not perfect,
so it was much better than the old one.
