Alan Naiman was known for being very careful about how he spent his money. But even those closest to him had no knowledge of the fortune he quietly gathered and the last act he had planned.
Naiman died of cancer at age 63 last January. The man from the American state of Washington gave most of his money to groups that help the poor, sick, disabled and abandoned children.
He gave them $11 million. The large amount of his fortune shocked the groups that received his gifts and even his best friends. That is because Naiman had been known to repair his own shoes with duct tape. He had sought deals to buy food from grocery stores at closing time and taken friends out to lunch at low cost restaurants.
Naiman died unmarried and childless. He loved children but also was intensely private. He saved, invested and worked extra jobs to gather money. He rarely spent the money on himself after seeing how unfair life could be for children who suffer most.
Naiman was a former banker who worked for the past 20 years at the state Department of Social and Health Services. He earned $67,234 a year and also took on side jobs. Sometimes, he worked as many as three at a time. He saved and invested enough to make several millions of dollars. He also received millions more from his parents after they died.
He left $2.5 million to the Pediatric Interim Care Center in Washington. The center is a private organization that cares for babies born to mothers who abused drugs and children with drug dependency. The center used the money to pay off its mortgage (按揭) and buy a new vehicle to transport the children.
Naiman gave $900, 000 to the Treehouse, where children without parents can choose toys and necessities for free. Treehouse is using Naiman’s money to expand its college and career support services statewide.
24. Why were Naiman’s best friends sh ocked at his donation?
A. He left nothing to his relatives.
B. He was dishonest in his economic conditions.
C. He received wealth from his parents secretly.
D. He used to be very careful to spend money.
25. Naiman was greatly concerned about ____________.
A. his money
B. his career
C. children in trouble
D. life after retirement
26. What does Paragraph 5 mainly talk about?
A. Why Naiman’s parents turned rich.
B. Where Naiman’s fortune came from.
C. How hard Naiman worked all his life.
D. How clever Naiman was to gather money.
27. How did Naiman’s money benefit the Pediatric Interim Care Center?
A. It improved its transport system.
B. It offered more toys to children.
C. It sent more children to college.
D. It helped more women give up drugs.
C
Some colors people see late at night could cause signs of clinical depression. That was the finding of a study that builds on earlier study findings. They show that individuals who live or work in low levels of light overnight can develop clinical depression. Doctors use the word “clinical depression” to describe severe form of depression. Signs may include loss of interest or pleasure in most activities, low energy levels and thoughts of death or suicide.
In the new study, American investigators designed an experiment that exposed hamsters (仓鼠) to different colors. The researchers chose hamsters because they are nocturnal, which means they sleep during the day and are active at night.
The animals were separated into 4 groups. One group of hamsters was kept in the dark during their nighttime period. Another group was placed in front of a blue light, a third group slept in front of a white light, while a fourth was put in front of a red light.
After four weeks, the researchers noted how much sugary water the hamsters drank. They found that the more depressed animals drank the least amount of water.
Randy Nelson heads the Department of Neuroscience at Ohio State University. He says animals that slept in blue and white light appeared to b e the most depressed. “What we saw is that these animals didn’t show any sleep uneasiness at all but they did have messed up biological clock genes and they did show depressive sign while if they were in the dim (微弱) red light, they did not.”
Randy Nelson notes that photosensitive (感光) cells in the eyes have little to do with eyesight. He says these cells send signals to the area of the brain that controls what has been called the natural sleep-wake cycle.
He says there’s a lot of blue in white light. This explains why the blue light and white light hamsters appear to be more depressed than the hamsters seeing red light or darkness.
28. Researchers use hamsters in the experiment because ____________.
A. they are similar to humans in dealing with colors
B. they are easy to observe and study
C. they are sensitive to colors like human beings
D. they are active at night and sleep during the day
29. What sign shows that the hamsters are being depressed?
A. They drink less sugary water.
B. They don’t sleep well.
C. Their eyesight becomes worse.
D. Their energy level becomes low.
30. ____________ tends to cause hamsters to be depressed.
A. Dim light
B. Red light
C. Blue light
D. Darkness
31. What can help people who work late at night to avoid being depressed?
A. Not being exposed to dim red light when using computers.
B. Equipping their computer screen to put it more in the reddish light.
C. Living or working in low levels of light overnight.
D. Going to see doctors of clinical depression regularly for help.
D
A study of violinists found that merely good players practised as much as better players, leaving other factors such as quality of education, learning skills and perhaps natural talent to account for the difference.
This finding challenges the 10, 000-hour rule promoted in Malcolm Gladwell’s 1993 study of violinists and pianists. Gladwell states that enough practice will make an expert of anyone. “The idea has been popular and entrenched in our culture for years. It’s not an idiom but an overstatement,” said Brooke Macnamara, the lead author. “When it comes to human skill, a complex combination of environmental factors and genetic factors explains the performance differences across people.”
Macnamara and her colleagues set out to repeat part of the 1993 study to see whether they reached the same conclusion. They interviewed three groups of 13 violinists regarded as best, good, or less accomplished about their practice habits, before having them complete daily diaries of their activities over a week. While the less skillful violinists reached an average of about 6,000 hours of practice by the age of 20, there was little to separate the good from the best, with each reaching an average of about 11,000 hours. In all, the number of hours spent practising accounted for about a quarter of the skill difference across the three groups.
Macnamara believes practice is less of a driver. “Once you get to the highly skilled groups, practice stops accounting for the difference. Everyone has practised a lot and other factors are at play in determining who goes on to a higher level,” she said. “The factors depend on the skill being learned: in chess it could be intelligence or working memory; in sport it may be how efficiently a person uses oxygen. To complicate matters further, one factor can drive another. Children who enjoy playing the violin, for example, may be happy to practise because they do not see it as a trouble.”
The authors of the 1993 study are unimpressed. Macnamara said it was important for people to understand the limits of practice, though. “Practice makes you better than you were yesterday, most of the time,” she said. “But it might not make you better than your neighhour or the other kid in your violin cla ss.”32. What does the underlined word “entrenched” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Rooted.
B. Advanced.
C. Changed.
D. Unconfirmed.
33. What can we learn about Macnamara’s study?
A. It convinced Malcolm Gladwell.
B. It involved violinists and pianists.
C. Its process was similar to the 1993 study.
D. Its result is consistent with the 1993 study.
34. What does Macnamara find about highly skilled people?
A. Practicing for 11,000 hours is their main driver.
B. They enjoy keeping diaries about their progress.
C. Environmental factors have little relation to their success.
D. More practice makes little difference to their further progress.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. What makes an expert?
B. Does practice make perfect?
C. The early bird catches the worm
D. Enthusiasm is the key to success

For the rest of March, a disease will sweep across the US. It will keep kids home from school. 36 Employees will suddenly lose their ability to concentrate.
The disease, known as “March Madness”, refers to the yearly 65–team US men’s college basketball tour na ment. 37 Teams compete against each other in a single-elimination (单局淘汰) tournament that eventually crowns a national champion.
Nearly 20 million Americans will find themselves prisoners of basketball festival madness. The fun comes partly from guessing the winners for every game. Friends compete against friends. 38 Colleagues against bosses.
Big-name schools are usually favored to advance into the tournament. But each year there are dark horses from little-known universities.
This adds to the madness. Watching a team from a school with 3,000 students beat a team from a school with 30,000, for many Americans, is an exciting experience. Two years ago, the little-known George Mason University was one of the final four teams. 39
College basketball players are not paid, so the game is more about making a name for their university and themselves. 40 About $ 4 billion will be spent gambling (赌) on the event. According to Media Life magazine, the event will bring in $ 500 million in advertising income this year, topping the post–season income of every US professional league, including that of the NBA.
A. Husbands against wives.
B. The players will go all out for the games.
C. But that doesn’t mean money isn’t involved.
D. College students will ignore piles of homework.
E. People are willing to spend more money on watching it.
F. It begins on March 15 and lasts through the beginning of April.
G. Many people had never even heard of the university before the tournament.

One afternoon, he 42 a conversation in a cafe with a group of charming young people. They took a liking to Little Brother and invited him to a party that weekend in a 43 in the Loire Valley. It would be 44 by the rich and famous and by several crowned heads of Europe. Best of all, it was a masquerade ball (假面舞会).
45 , Little Brother worked all week on a costume and held back on neither the details nor the craziness of this creation. Then he rented a car and drove three hours to the castle. Little Brother entered the ballroom, head 46 high.
Upon which he immediately realized his 47 .
This was 48 a costume party but he had missed one 49 in translation: This was a themed costume party. The theme was “a medieval (中世纪的) court” 50 Little Brother was dressed as a lobster (龙虾).
He stood at the top of the steps for one long, horrible moment. Running away in 51 seemed like the most dignified (有尊严的) response. But he didn’t run. 52 , he found his solution. He’d come this far, after all. He’d worked tremendously hard to make thi s costume, and he was 53 of it. He took a deep breath and walked onto the dance floor.
As he moved into the crowd, a silence 54 . The other guests gathered around Little Brother. Finally someone asked him what on earth he was.
Little Brother bowed deeply and 55 , “I am the court lobster.”
Then: laughter.
Not ridicule —just 56 . They loved him. They loved his sweetness, his weirdness, his giant red claws, his skinny legs in his bright tights. He was the happy clown among them, and he 57 the party. Little Brother even ended up dancing with the queen of Belgium.
I have never created anything in my life that did not make me feel like I was the guy who just walked into a fancy ball wearing a homemade lobster costume. But you must 58 walk into that room, and you must hold your head high. Never 59 for it, never explain it away, and never be ashamed of it. You did your best with what you knew, and you worked with what you had, in the time you were given.
Sometimes it’s like tha t. What you absolutely must not do is walk out. Otherwise you will miss the party, and that would be a pity 60 we did not come all this great distance, and make all this great effort, only to miss the party at the last moment.

As we all know, culture is similar with an iceberg. There are cultural rules where are obvious and easily to understand. Most of our cultural values, however, is not clear or hidden. For example, when you will visit a restaurant in Japan, chance are that people may sit on the floor and use chopsticks to eat. These eat habits are easy to come across. You may not know, therefore, that it’s common for a man to sit cross-legged on the floor, but it’s not considered acceptable for woman to do so.You have to study people’s body language to understanding this less obvious cultural rule.

Dear Sir or Madam,
I’m Li Hua, one of the students who attended the course English Film Appreciation last term. I like it very much mainly for the following two reasons. First, in the class, we are exposed to different kinds of English films, which helps us improve both our English listening and speaking skills. Apart from that, it is the amazing stories of the heroes that attract me most, because they show us that a person can work hard to make a difference.
As a young student, I suggest that the teacher choose some more films that appeal to us teenagers, thus making the course more interesting. Besides, more activities should be included so that we can have more chances to practice our English.
I’d appreciate it if you could take my suggestions into consideration. I hope that the course will gain wide popularity among the students in our school.
Sincerely yours,
Li Hua。
