He must have been completely lost in something he was reading because I had to tap on the car window to get his attention. “Is your car available?” I asked when he finally looked up at me. He nodded, then said apologetically as I settled into the back seat, “I’m sorry, but I was reading a letter.” He sounded as if he had a cold. “I am not in a hurry,” I told him. “Go ahead and finish your letter.” He shook his head. “I’ve read it several times already. I guess I almost know it by heart.” “Letters from home always mean a lot,” I said.
“This isn’t family,” he replied. “Although it might just as well have been family, Old Ed was my oldest friend. In fact, we used to call each other ‘Old Friend’—when we’d meet. I’m not much good at writing.”
“I don’t think any of us keep up our correspondence (通信) very well,” I said. “I know I don’t, but I take it he’s someone you’ve known quite a while?”
“All my life. We were kids together, went to school together and all the way through high school.” “There are not too many people who’ve had such a long friendship,” I said. “Actually,” the driver went on, “I hadn’t seen him more than once or twice a year over the past 25 or 30 years because I moved away from the old neighborhood and you kind of lose touch even though you never forget.”
“You said ‘was’. Does that mean----?” he nodded. “A couple of weeks ago.” “I’m sorry.”
He didn’t say anything more, and we rode on in silence for a few minutes. But I realized that Old Ed was still on his mind when he spoke again, almost more t o himself than to me. “I should have kept in contact with him.” “Well,” I agreed, “we should all keep in touch with old friends more than we do. But things come up and we just don’t seem to find the time.”
When I got to my hotel room I didn’t unpack right away. First I had to write a letter---and mail it.
24.The driver said sorry to the writer because _______.
A. he didn’t want to take the passenger
B. he didn’t notice the writer
C. he had a cold and could not speak

25. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that __________.
A. Old Ed was a member of the driver’s family
B. The driver never met Old Ed in the past
C. The driver seldom wrote to Old Ed
D. The driver often called Old Ed on the phone
26. It can be inferred from the passage that ___________.
A. The driver had been a friend of the writer
B. The driver didn’t like to read the letter
C. The driver’s friend must have passed away
D. The driver’s friend must be angry with him

Have you ever felt like you aren’t respected by others? In a way like you are taken for granted (想当然) or not taken seriously? In one way or another, all of us have felt this. We hope to be regarded as an authority (权威), someone we respect and believe in. W e’re not taught in school how to do this. It’s something we learn by ourselves. And the answer is as simple as changing your mindset. You can change your game by changing your mind.
Take the time to look back and think about every person in your life who is an authority, a leader at work who you trust, or the man who you respect and encourages you. They’re up there not for the reasons you think. If you really think about it, they aren’t the smartest or the most educated. Instead, they’re up there because th ey’re great teachers for the success of their customers or employees.
Let’s take Richard Simmons, a famous fitness instructor, for example. He became well known since he started gaining popularity during the first few years in his career. Stop and think. People look up at him and give him authority because he’s a great educator. Instead of sharing information that’s far too difficult to understand, he figures out what your problems are and finds out a way to fix them. He doesn’t try too hard to impress his followers because by now they’re already pretty impressed with the desire to solve people’s problems. Depending on what field you’re in, you can share with people things you know and you think they’ll want to know as well. If you’re a nurse, for example, y ou can make a blog post for common health problems and quick remedies (疗法) people can do at home.
So, how will you be viewed as an authority again? Make that mind shift. Find out what troubles your target. Show your care, give answers and help them climb up that ladder of success. Ladies and gentlemen, that’s how it’s done.
28. Who teaches people to win other people’s respect according to Paragraph 1?
A. Our teachers.
B. We ourselves.
C. Our parents.
D. Richard Simmons.
29. What is the quality of an authority according to the author?
A. He is very smart.
B. He is knowledgeable.
C. He does something for others.
D. He is professionally successful.
30. In order to explain how to be respected, the author ________.
A. makes comparisons
B. lists some facts
C. makes comments
D. gives examples
31. What is the text intended to show?
A. An authority keeps positive in any situation.
B. We can change our mind to change our world.
C. Kindness is the key to being a success in life.
D. The process is more important than the results.
D
If you’re out for a run, what difference does it make if you’re able to tough it out for another 50 seconds? If you’re less than a minute from the top of the hill, that extra time can make the difference between having reached your goal and snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
How do you get those extra seconds of energy? A research team at the Texes Tech University developed a study to measure what effect listening to music would have on exercise tolerance. The researchers based the study on a stress testing. As part of the testing, they noted any changes in heart rate and blood pressure as participants did physically stressful exercise.
The tests were done on treadmills (跑步机)，which increased in both speed and incline (坡度) through three stages. In the final stage, the treadmills moved at 10 miles per hour at a 14-percent grade. Most of these tests were designed to last up to 40 minutes. The average gym-goers lasted 30 minutes. For this study, they divided 127 participants into two groups. One listened to upbeat (快节奏) music, while the other group had earbuds in but did not listen to music.
The group that listened to music was able to outlast the non-music group by an average of 50.6 seconds. Again, being able to go an extra minute may seem like a no-brainer, but “after 30 minutes, you feel like you are running up a mountain, so even being able to go 50 seconds longer means a lot,” said the study’s lead author, Waseem Shami, MD.
The study has proved something runners and gym-goers have doubted for years: Listening to music during workout can be beneficial to your endurance. “Our findings strengthen the idea that upbeat music can help you exercise longer and stick with a daily exercise routine,”said Shami. When doctors are recommending exercise, they might suggest listening to music, too."
32. Why did Shami’s team conduct the research?
A. To improve runners’ exercise tolerance.
B. To know the cause of failure in sports.
C. To test the effect of music on health.
D. To record the body change of participants.
33. What did the researchers find about the participants in the stress testing?
A. They ran much faster than average runners.
B. They could run a little longer with music on.
C. They created a new record of indoor sports.
D. They all enjoyed extreme physical challenge.
34. What do the underlined words “a no-brainer” mean in paragraph 4?
A. A dull activity.
B. A foolish action.
C. A demanding task.
D. An easy practice
35. What did Shami suggest us doing in the last paragraph?
A. Listening to music while working out.
B. Developing a daily exercise routine.
C. Participating in physical stress testing.
D. Taking exercise as doctors recommend.

第二节读后续写（满分25分）
阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。

Several years ago, I was living in New York and working for an airline, so I never got back home for Christmas. My Christmas was happy too with some other colleagues around. But in my heart, I was sad because I couldn’t stay with my family. Sometimes my colleagues would say our Christmas was filled with tears. But this Christmas was different. I was lucky. I had the whole day off, which meant I could stay with my family on Christmas Eve.
When Christmas morning came, I awoke to a small hand feeling my face. “Dad, Merry Christmas!” was all my younger son had time to say. He seemed to be racing against time. I knew he was hunting for gifts with his brother eagerly. I got downstairs just to see the two little boys’ faces as they looked at the pocket rockets Santa Claus had left them. I realized that the real Christmas was for the children who had deep belief in the amazing power of Santa Claus. At first, their fingers went almost shyly over their toys. When their inspection (检阅) had been completed, the two boys ensured that the gifts were really delivered by Santa Claus and they pulled everything into the center of the living room.
Delight flooded the room. As their mother began giving out gifts, I smiled to myself, wondering how my unexpected gifts this year would be received. With so many Christmas spent outside, I had prepared so many gifts for my children and together with my wife I hid them in several secret places. But the children were excellent detectives (侦探) and they found all of them. They were happily opening package s, thanking considerate Santa Claus for his kindness and ability to know their desires. But I had not received a single one. I knew they had forgotten my existence (存在) , for I hadn’t been with t hem during Christmas these years.
