A friend of mine named Paul received an automobile from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin was walking around the shiny new car, admiring it. “Is this your car, Mister?” he asked.
Paul nodded. “My brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was astounded. “You mean yo ur brother gave it to you and it didn?t cost you nothing? Boy, I wish….” He hesitated.
Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the lad said jarred Paul all the way down to his heels.
“I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.”
Paul looked at the boy in astonishment, then impulsively he added, “Would you like to take a ride in my automobile?”
“Oh yes, I?d love that.”
After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes aglow, said, “Mister, would you mind driving in front of my house?”
Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the lad wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big automobile. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where t hose two steps are?” the boy asked.
He ran up the steps. Then in a little while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled brother. He sat him down on the bottom step, then sort of squeezed up against him and pointed to the car.
“There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn?t cost him a cent. And some day I?m gonna give you one just like it…, then you can see for yourself all the pretty things in the Christmas windows that I?ve been trying to tell you about.”

Passage 2
Britain has laws to make sure that women have the same opportunities as men in education, jobs and training. But i t?s still unusual to find women doing dirty or heavy jobs.
Nikki Henriques is a car maintenance engineer in London. She used to be a secretary. Barty Phillips, a journalist with The Observer, a Sunday newspaper, asked her why she wanted to work with cars.
“My first reason was independence,” she said. “I also wanted to use my hands, and I like learning about how things work. Many people prefer to have a woman repair their cars, too.”
Nikki didn?t find it easy to become a car maintenance engineer. She went to a Government Skill Centre—a special sort of college where people can learn a new job—for twenty weeks. “For ten weeks I was the only woman among four hundred men, and some of them were rude to me,
just because of my sex. It was also very tiring—from 8 in the morning to 5 at night, with only 30 minutes for lunch.” Now Nikki works free-lance—that is, she?s self-employed, working for herself and not for a garage or a company.
Barty Phillips also spoke to Rose, who works as a general builder in Sheffield, an industrial town in the north of England. Like Nikki, Rose used to be a secretary. “I didn?t enjoy it at all,” she said. “I wanted to do more practical work, and I wanted to be self-emplo yed.”
Rose joined a women?s building co-operative, and she learnt her job from other people and from experience. However, many of the women in her group have been specially trained. Most of the jobs they do are improvements to buildings and general repairs.
“People often say, …Oh, women aren?t strong enough,? but I don?t think strength is important,” said Rose. “The important thing is to get used to doing a different sort of work.”
Rose would like more women to come into the building industry. “Everything b uilt at the moment is a product of man?s world. If women become builders, they will be able to understand the production of their houses and their towns.”
56. There are laws in Britain to help women _____ D .
A. get higher pay than men
B. enjoy more freedom than men
C. do whatever they like to do
D. have equal chances with men in education and work
57. The work of ____B__ is considered dirty or heavy.
A. a newspaper journalist
B. a car maintenance engineer
C. a company manager
D. an office secretary
58. The job of a car maintenance engineer is to ___D______.
A. manufacture cars
B. sell cars
C. keep cars for others
D. repair cars
59. The most important reason for Nikki to be a car maintenance engineer is that ____A__ .
A. she wants to be independent
B. she has to make her own living
C. she likes to use her hands
D. she wants to get the same pay as men
60. Rose, who works as a general builder, ______ C .
A. believes women are as strong as men
B. admits women are much weaker than men
C. wants more women to become builders
D. thinks women can learn more from practical work

People tend to sleep more lightly and for shorter time spans as they get older, although they generally need about the same 31 of sleep as they 32 in early adulthood. About half of all people over 65 have 33 sleeping problems, such as insomnia, and deep sleep 34 in many 35 people often become very short or 36 completely.

Passage 2
No specific food will prevent or ease facial lines. But you can slow your rate of wrinkling by eating the right foods to keep the fat layers under your skin sufficiently plump to maintain a smooth complexion. For example, while one baked sweet potato, eight ounces of orange juice or ten potato chips provide about 100 calories, only the sweet potato and orange juice supply quality calories. The sweet potato is rich in vitamin A, which helps skin cells shed smoothly, and the juice provides vitamin C, which helps form collagen, the supportive substance that gives youthful skin its elastic quality. Good sources of vitamin A include dark-green, orange and deep-yellow vegetables, and orange-colored fruits. Citrus fruits are a good source of vitamin C.
Drink plenty of water. Once you?re past your 20s, many of your skin?s natural moisturizers—sweat and oil glands—shut down, and the top layer of skin thins out. As a result, skin no longer h olds moisture well. Also, if you don?t drink enough water to replace what you lose every day through urination and perspiration, your body pulls what it needs from your cells, including skin cells, resulting in drier, older-looking skin.
To minimize dryness, drink at least eight to ten eight-ounce glasses of water a day. Don?t count drinks such as coffee, tea and cola as part of your daily intake. They contain caffeine, a diuretic that may increase water loss from the skin, as will alcohol.
Another symptom of aging you can offset with diet is lowered resistance to illness. However, vitamin E may strengthen the immune system. In an American study, researcher Simin Meydani gave 32 healthy adults over age 60 large doses of vitamin E twice a day for a month. As a result, their lymphocyte function was significantly improved. Foods rich in vitamin E include dark-green, leafy vegetables, legumes, nuts and whole-grain cereals.
Food is not a quick fix for aging. But a sound diet—plenty of fiber, water and vitamin-rich, deep-colored fruits and vegetables—is bound to have a positive effect on your overall health and looks.
56. To maintain a smooth complexion, you should C .
A. slow your rate of wrinkling
B. keep a certain fat layer under your skin
C. eat some proper foods
D. drink plenty of coffee
57. Good sources of Vitamin A comes from A .
A. sweet potato
B. orange juice
C. citrus fruit
D. tea
58. If you don?t drink enough water C .
A. sweat and oil glands will shut down
B. top layer of skin will thin out
C. drier, older-looking skin will appear
D. skin no longer holds moisture
59. To minimize dryness, the best choice of your daily intake is A .
A. water
B. coffee and tea
C. cola
D. wine
60. Proper intake of Vitamin E may B .

V. Writing
Write a composition on the topic CARS IN THE CITY. Your composition should be based on the outline given below and you are required to write it in no less 120 words. Remember to write it
clearly.
CARS IN THE CITY
(1) 城市里汽车日渐增多。
(2) 说一下汽车增多有什么好处或坏处。
(3) 你认为应该如何克服这些坏处?
More and more people own cars in the city. It's because the economy is expanding rapidly and therefore the family income goes up year by year. People want to enjoy a more comfortable life and earn certain social status.
There is no doubt that cars make us travel faster and farther, but they do have caused some problems. For example, they emit too much exhaust fumes and thus pollute the air. This causes further problems. The old people especially suffer a lot from it. Cars also contribute greatly to the increase of traffic jams and accidents.
How can we solve these problems? First, we can improve the qualities of the cars so that they produce less smokes and noises when running. Second, we should plant more trees and grass all over the cities to freshen the air. Lastly, we can build rings roads around cities so that they will less pollute the downtown areas.

Passage 1
On the death of his wealthy old father, Duncan inherited a lot of money and property, but though his father had always been a very generous man, Duncan was of a very different character. In fact, a lot of people who knew him called him a miser.
This was not quite right, because misers usually spend as little of their wealth on themselves as they give away. But Duncan was not like that at all. He had always liked to feel rich; to have the best of everything for himself, go to the best restaurants, stay in the best hotels, have beautiful houses and expensive holidays.
Duncan had never had a job, and while his father was alive, he had at first been kept on rather a small allowance. Duncan had asked his father several times whether he could increase this, but his father knew about the young man?s extravagant wa ys and in his wisdom, always refused to do so.
But then, when Duncan was twenty-one, the old man, who was already sixty-five and retired, suggested that he should marry. “I?m feeling old,” he said to his son, “and I?d like to see some grandchildre n before I die.”
Duncan was not keen to have the expense of a wife, and then children, but his father said, “If you marry, I?ll increase your allowance in exchange.”
“By how much?” Duncan said. “Wife and children cost a lot of money.”
His father, laughed and answered, “I?ll multiply it by three.”
“All right,” said Duncan. He already had a girlfriend, so he asked her to marry him, and she agreed.
But Duncan did not spend much of his increased allowance on his wife, nor on his children when they came. His wife always smelt expensive, because Duncan loved to have the luxury of the best scents around him, but he did not give her any jewelry, saying that she would inherit plenty when his mother died. His wife did not feel very happy about this, as Duncan?s mother was only forty-five years old.
Duncan also continued to spend as much money as he could get on luxuries for himself.
One day he had just had lunch by himself at a very expensive restaurant, where every dish always tasted perfect, and had walked past the doorman, who had brought his car to the front for him, without giving him a tip.
The doorman, who looked splendid in his beautiful uniform, helped him into his car and then said politely, “In ca se you lose your wallet on your way home, sir, please remember that you didn?t pull it out of your pocket here.”

A. every dish always tasted perfect
B. there was a doorman at service
C. he could enter it in his car
D. tip was forbidden there
55. When the doorman said “In case…,” he meant B .

Passage 2
Are you a compulsive spender, or do you hold on to your money as long as possible? Are you a bargain hunter? Would you rather use charge accounts than pay cash? Your answer to those questions will reflect your personality. According to psychologists, our individual money habits not only show our beliefs and values, but can also develop from past problems.
Experts in psychology believe that for many people, money is an important symbol of strength and influence. Husbands who complain about their wives? spend ing habits may be afraid that they are losing power in their marriage. Wives, on the other hand, may waste huge amounts of money because they are angry with their husbands. In addition, many people consider money a symbol of love. They spend it on their families and friends to express love, or they buy themselves expensive presents because they need love.
People can be addicted to different things, for example, alcohol, drugs, certain foods, or even television. They are compulsive in their addictions, that is, they must satisfy these needs to feel comfortable. In the same way, according to psychologists, compulsive spenders must spend more money. For those who buy on credit, furthermore, charge accounts are even more exciting than money: in other words, these people feel that with credit they can do anything. Their pleasure at spending enormous amounts is actually greater than the pleasure they get from the things they buy.
There is even a special psychology of bargain hunting. To save money, of course, most people look for sales, low prices, and discounts. Compulsive bargain hunters, however, often buy things that they don?t need just because they are cheap. They want to believe that they are helping their budget, but they are really playing an exciting game: when they can buy something for less than other people, they are winning.
It is not only scientists, of course, who understand the psychology of spending habits, but also business people. Stores, companies, and advertisers use psychology to increase business. They consider people?s needs for love, power or influence, as well as their values, beliefs and opinions, in their advertising and sales methods.
Psychologists often use a method called “behavior therapy” to help individuals solve their personality problems. In the same way, they can help people who feel that they have problems with money. They give them “assignments.” If a person buys something in every store that he enters, for instance, a therapist might teach him self-discipline in this way. On the first day of his therapy, he must go into a store, stay for five minutes, and then leave. On the second day, he should stay for ten minutes and try something on. On the third day he stays for fifteen minutes,
asks the sales clerk a question, but does not buy anything. Soon he will learn that nothing bad will happen to him if he doesn?t buy anything, and he can solve the problem of his compulsive buying.

Write a composition on the topic MY PLAN FOR THE FUTURE. Your composition should be based on the outline given below and you are required to write it in no less 120 words. Remember to write it clearly.
MY PLAN FOR THE FUTURE
(1) 你现在在做什么?
(2) 你对自己的将来有何打算?
(3) 你将如何去实现自己的计划?
I earnestly hope to lead a healthy and prosperous life in the future. Judging from my aptitude inclination and personality streaks, my ideal life will be that of a scientist, researching, lecturing, and writing books.
As I am from a farming family, I particularly enjoy being close to earth. If I can afford to live a pastoral life in the countryside, I will feel most blessed. As far as social life is concerned, simplicity is what I intend to pursue, so I really don't need too many friends. All these will be mere talk if I am idle now. To attain my goal, I must make a point of training my body and mind. This is a highly competitive society in which everyone is eager to come out on top. That is not only a competition of physical strength and mental power, but a marathon of patience, faith, and perseverance. Life is not all roses, but with what I am being equipped with by the top teachers in this elite school, I surely deserve a promising prospect.

During the twentieth century there has been a remarkable shortening of the proportion of a woman’s life spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century world probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which custom, opportunity and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman’s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and can be expected to live another thirty-five years and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children, her work is lightened by household appliances and convenience foods. The important change in women’s life-pattern has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’s economic p osition. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity, and most of them took a full-time job.
