When we are committed to something, it means that no matter how 40 or how uncomfortable something is, we will always choose to 41 it and work it trough instead of running away from it. Communication is making a 42 for discussion and talking about how you feel as opposed to just saying what the other person did wrong. 43 you can say to a friend, “I got my feelings hurt.” 44 “You hurt my feelings,” you are going to be able to solve t he problem much faster.
In dealing with the many challenges that friendship will bring to you, try to see them for 45 they are: small hurdles you need to jump or 46 on your way through life.

It sounded too good to be true, but I replied, thanking him for his exceptional generosity, that we had no plan to go back. Then a poet at the University of Florida offered to let his house to me, while he went to England on his one-year paid leave. The rent was rather reasonable. I mentioned the poet’s offer to James Kemdedy, and the next day he sent a check covering our entire rent for eight months.
Throughout this painful experience, the kindness of strangers has done much to bring back my faith in humanity. It’s almost worth losing your worldly possessions to be reminded that people are really nice when given half a chance.
51．The garage employee’s attitude toward the author was that of
A．unconcern B．sympathy
C．doubt D．tolerance
52．What do we know about James Kemnedy?
A．He was a writer of an online magazine.
B．He was a poet at the University of Florida
C．He offered the author a new house free of charge.
D．He learned about the author’s sufferings via e-mail.
53．It can be inferred from the text that
A．the author’s family was in financial difficulty
B．rents were comparatively reasonable despite the disaster
C．houses were difficult to find in the hurricane-stricken area
D．the mortgage on the ruined house was paid off by the bank
54．The author learned from his experience that
A．worldly possessions can be given up when necessary
B．generosity should be encouraged in some cases
C．people benefit from their sad stories
D．human beings are kind after all.

If you look for a book as a present for a child. You will be spoiled for choice even in a year when there is no new Harry Potter. J.K Rowling’s wizard is not alone: the past decade has been a harvest for good children’s books, which has set off a large quantity of films and in turn led to increased sales of classics such as The Lord of the Rings.
Yet despite that, reading is increasingly unpopular among children. According to statistics, in 1997 23% said they didn’t like reading at all. In 2003, 35% did. And around 6% of children leave primary school each year unable to read properly.
Maybe the decline is caused by the increasing availability of computes games. Maybe the books boom has affected only the top of the educational pile. Either way, Chancellor Gordon Brown plans to change things for the bottom of the class .In his pre-budget report, he announced the national project of Reading Recovery to help the children struggling most.
Reading Recovery is aimed at six-year-olds, who receive four months of individual daily half-hour classes with a specially trained teacher. An evaluation earlier this year reported that children on the scheme made 20 months’ progress in just one year, whereas similarly weak readers without special help made just five months’ progress, and so ended the year even further below the level expected for their age.
International research tends to find that when British children leave primary school they read well, but read less often for fun than those elsewhere. Reading for fun matters because children who are keen on reading can expect lifelong pleasure and loving books is an excellent indicator of future educational success. According to the OECD, being a regular and enthusiastic reader is of great advantage.
55．Which of the following is true of Paragraph 1?
A．Many children’s books have been adapted from films.
B．Many high-quality ch ildren’s books have been published.
C．The sales of classics have led to the popularity of films.
D．The sales of presents for children have increased.
56．Statistics suggested that .
A．the number of top students increased with the use of computers
B．a decreasing number of children showed interest in reading
C．a minority of primary school children read properly
D．a large percentage of children read regularly
57．What do we know about Reading Recovery?
A．An evaluation of it will be made sometime this year.
B．Weak readers on the project were the most hardworking.
C．It aims to train special teachers to help children with reading.
D．Children on the project showed noticeable progress in reading.
58．Reading for fun is important because book-loving children _________.
A. take greater advantage of the project
B．show the potential to enjoy a long life
C．are likely to succeed in their education.
D．would make excellent future researchers
59．The aim of this text would probably be _________.
A．to overcome primary school pupils’ reading difficulty.
B．to encourage the publication of more children’s books
C．to remind children of the importance of reading for fun
D．to introduce a way to improve early children reading
C
When Andrea Peterson landed her first teaching job, she faced the daunting task of creating a music program with almost no money for equipment or supplies in a climate where standards-based learning was the focus and music just provided a break for students and teachers.
For her d rive and creativity in overcoming those challenges, she’s been named national teacher of the year.
Principal Waynes Kettler said he’s worked with many outstanding teachers in his 22 years as an educator, but Peterson is “just that one step above anybody I’ve ever worked with before.”
Kettler and others at Monte Cristo Elementary School talk about the ways she has introduced the learning from other classrooms into her music program and her creativity in working around things such as the lack of money for new music.
When students were reading S.E. Hinton’s novel The Outsiders in their regular classroom, Peterson helped them write a 30-minute play with scenes from the book. Then they chose three Broadway tunes that focused on race, equality and social justice, the themes of the book. Peterson composed two other songs herself after classroom discussions about the play and the book.
The honor means a lot to residents of Granite Fal ls. It’s inspiring to know that people from small towns can even win national honors.
As national teacher of the year, Peterson will spend the next year outside the classroom, as a national and international spokeswoman for education.
Not surpassingly, s he is a big believe in the value of acts education. She said it’s essential for schools to offer classes such as act or music and physical education because for some kids one of those subjects is the only thing that motivates them to come back to school day after day. 60．The underlined word “daunting” in Paragraph 1 most probably means __________.
A．discouraging B．interesting C．creative D．unbearable 61．When Peterson began her teaching career, ____________.
A．music was a focus of learning in most schools
B．the environment was favorable to music teaching
C．the school lacked teaching facilities for music
D．financial support for music programs was unavailable
62．What is the most important reason that Peterson won the award?
A．She concerned herself with current social problems.
B．She motivated students to learn music with her creativity.
C．She has taught music at the elementary school for 22 years.
D．She made great efforts to arou se students’ interest in literature.
63．Which of the following is an example of Peterson’s way of teaching music?
A．She wrote plays on themes of race, equality and social justice.
B．She made use of the contents of other classes in her teaching.
C．She organized classroom discussions of Broadway tunes.
D．She helped students compose songs by themselves.
64．In Peterson’s opinion, ____________.
A．art, music and PE classes are all important
B．more subjects should be offered to students
C．students should be motivated to attend art classes
D．arts education is more important than other subjects
65．It can be inferred from the text that ________.
A．Peterson’s honor was a surprise for the local people
B．Peterson’s art classes attracted students back to school
C．Peterson aroused the local residents’ passion for music
D．Peterson will change her profession next year
D
Sports shoes that work out whether their owner has done enough exercise to warrant time in front of the television have been devised in the UK.
The shoes —named Square Eyes —contain an electronic pressure sensor and a tiny computer chip to record how many steps the wearer has taken in a day. A wireless transmitter passes the information to a receiver connected to a television, and this decides how much evening viewing time the wearer deserves, based on the day’s efforts.
The design was inspired by a desire to fight against the rapidly ballooning waistlines among British teenagers, says Gillian Swan, who developed Square Eyes as a final year design project at Brunel University in London, UK. “We looked at current issues and childhood overweight really stood out,” she says. “And I wanted to tackle that with my design.”
Once a child has used up their daily allowance gained through exercise, the television
automatically switches off. And further time in front of the TV can only be earned through more steps.
Swan calculated how exercise should translate to television time using the recommended daily amounts of both. Health experts suggest that a child take 12,000 steps each day and watch no more than two hours of television. So, every 100 steps recorded by the Square Eyes shoes equals precisely one minute of TV time.
Existing pedometers （计步器）normally clip onto a belt or slip into a pocket and keep count of steps by measuring sudden movement. Swan says these can be easily tricked into recording steps through shaking. But her shoe has been built to be harder for lazy teenagers to cheat. “It is possible, but it would be a lot of effort,” she says. “That was one of my main design considerations.”
66．According to Swan, the purpose of her design project is to ________.
A．keep a record of the steps of the wearer
B．deal with overweight among teenagers
C．enable children to resist the temptation of TV
D．prevent children from being tricked by TV programs
67．Which of the following is true of Square Eyes shoes?
A．They regulate a child’s even ing TV viewing time.
B．They determine a child’s daily pocket money.
C．They have raised the hot issue of overweight.
D．They contain information of the receiver.
68．What is stressed by health experts in their suggestion?
A．The exact number of steps to be taken.
B．The precise number of hours spent on TV.
C．The proper amount of daily exercise and TV time.
D．The way of changing steps into TV watching time.
69．Compared with other similar products, the new design ________.
A．makes it difficult for lazy teenagers to cheat
B．counts the wearer’s steps through shaking
C．records the sudden movement of the wearer
D．sends teenagers’ health data to the receiver
70．Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A．Smart Shoes Decide on Television Time
B．Smart Shoes Guarantee More Exercise
C．Smart Shoes Measure Time of Exercise
D．Smart Shoes Stop Childhood Overweight

Possible version:
My study habits
Study habits play a decisive role in the effect of learning. Usually a student with good study habits get twice the result with half the efforts. Therefore, it is important that we should form good habits when we study.
There is no doubt that making a suitable timetable is the first necessary pace in order to allocate the time well so I always make a schedule for study. Moreover, whichever subjects you study, thinking is the fundamental factor rather than just direct reciting, which is useless. So I develop the habit of thinking and solving problems with the help of reference books, for example, a dictionary. Still, I learn to sum up what has been learned, seize every chance to learn and make use of all kinds of learning resources.
Remember that good study habits are important to success.。
