For most people, graduation is an exciting day, but my graduation day was not.

The weeks ahead weren’t 39 . I knew my small university town couldn’t offer me any opportunities, 40 I packed up my car and drove to Southern California to find work.

You know that feeling when you wake up in 43 ? That feeling became a constant in my life. Days felt like weeks, weeks like months, and those many months felt like ever lasting 44 . And the most annoying part was no matter how much I tried, I just couldn’t seem to make any 45 .
So what did I do to keep my good sense? I decided to 46 . Something about putting words on a page made everything seem a little clearer — a little brighter. Something about writing gave me 47 . And if you want something badly enough, sometimes a little hope is all you 48 !
I put my 49 into a children’s book. Beyond the River was the story of an unlikely hero, a little fish, who 50 to give up his dream.
And then one day, without any sort of writing degree or contacts in the writing world — just a lot of hard work and determination — I was offered a 51 contract (合同) for my first book! After that, things slowly began to fall into 52 . I was offered a second book deal. Then, a few months later, I got an interview with the Walt Disney Company and was 53 shortly after.
Don’t give up. Even if things look 54 now, don’t give up. If you work hard, things will always get better. Often times our dreams lie in wait just a little further upstream ... all we need is the 55 to push beyond the river.

E-mail can be a powerful new tool in improving communication between patients and doctors, according to one expert.
“Using the Internet, doctors can answer more questions from more patients in a shorter time,” writes Dr Basal Pal, a famous doctor in Manchester, UK.
According to Pal, nearly 40% of American patients say they used E-mail to communicate with a doctor in the past.
He notes, however, that although patients have such interests, only up to 2% of doctors in the United States offer E-mail service.
Using E-mail, doctors can make sure of their advice and post patient information materials and other resources on the Internet.It’s said that more than 10,000 health-oriented websites already exist now.
However, some people worry that widespread use of medical E-mail might set up two kinds of care---one for Internet “haves” and the other for the “have-nots”.
But Pal points out that “by the year 2013 nearly every library will offer Internet and E-mail services in the United States”.That allows even low-income patients to use such means.Pal also talks about other possible barriers to the acceptance of medical E-mail.
“Doctors may be unwilling to offer E-mail services for fear of increasing workload(工作量) and uncertainty about payment for the time they spent,” he explained, “and patients may worry that their medical information might be read by others.” “But these problems can all be solved,” he added.[来源:学#科#网]
“E-mail may help us a lot in health care,” Pal concludes.“Patients want to know more than they can get in normal clinics,” he points out, “and they might find communication on the information superhighway(超级公路) less fearful than face-to-face dialogue with their doctors.”
56.The article introduces a new way of patient-doctor communication_________
A.by visiting websites B. by E-mail
C.by searching the Internet D.by using the computer
57.According to the text, some people worry that _______
A.it might have to serve both those who have access to the Internet and those whose workload is not too heavy.

C.it might make trouble between those who can use the Internet and those who can’t
D.it might make trouble between those who have Internet experience and those who haven’t
58.All the following points are advantages of using medical E-mail except that______
A.it is more convenient
B.it is less frighteningx k b 1 . c o m
C.it enables patients and doctors to understand each other better
D.it provides patients more choices of treatment
59.What does the underlined word “barrier” mean?

Item 1: JK Rowling, the Harry Potter author, has signed a publishing deal with Little Brown, to release her first ever novel for adults. The deal means that Rowling’s long-standing relationship with Bloomsbury, the London-based publisher that launched the Harry Potter books, has come to an end, at least in terms of new works by the author. Rowling, who is worth an estimated £530 million, said that the new novel will be nothing like the Harry Potter series, which sold over 30

Competition between international universities is heating up, as China grows as one of the largest exporters of students aiming to study abroad. “Lots of universities are becoming more and more aggressive to attract Chinese students. Every day I receive contacts from universities in the US expressing the desire to come to China to recruit students,” said Frank Joseph, a commercial officer from embassy of the United States.
One key reason why more Chinese students are able to study abroad is the economy: With China’s boom within the past decade, more families have the financial wherewithal(资金) to send their children to international universities. There will be a total of 200,000 family-funded Chinese students studying overseas in 2009, up 20 percent from last year, said Wu Zaofeng, deputy secretary general of China Education Association for International Exchange.
International institutions, Joseph said, are also facing increasingly tough financial situation with a shortage of domestic students and a drop in government subsidies(补贴). Students, especially in the US are paying high tuition fees and living expenses. Chinese students with money to spend, according to experts, can fill up the gap. Students on average spend 150,000 yuan to 200,000 yuan every year studying in US, according to statistics from the US Institute of International Education. During 2007-2008, there were approximately 81,000 Chinese students

天添资源网 http://www.ttzyw.com/
studying in the US, up 19.8 percent from 2006.
Representatives from approximately 60 universities from the United States are planning to arrive in Beijing this weekend to attract more Chinese students at this year’s fair. Besides the US, many other countries are also vying(竞争) to enroll Chinese students.
Post-study work visa put out by British government allows all international students completing a UK degree qualification to apply for a visa to stay on and look for work in UK for up to 2 years. Being the third most popular destination for international students next to the US and the UK, France has set up two types of scholarships and has handed out an increase of 26 percent in scholarship funds to Chinese students in recent years.
66. The reason for heating up competition between international universities is ___.新 课 标 第 一 网
A. that China has become one of the largest exporters of the students aiming to study abroad
B. China’s boom, the students’ desire and foreign universities’ commercial motive
C. that the students in China are becoming richer and richer
D. that the students in foreign countries do not want to go to universities
67. Why are more Chinese students able to study abroad?
A. Because their families have enough money to send them to international universities.
B. Because they can’t go to the best universities at home.
C. Because they want to win the scholarship of foreign universities
D. Because the Chinese students enjoy following others and they want to be independent.
68. Which of the following statements is true?
A. In 2009 there will be 200,000 Chinese students studying in the US.
B. Chinese students are able to study abroad for their relatives overseas.
C. In 2009 there will be 200,000 state-funded Chinese students studying overseas.
D. There are fewer family-funded Chinese students studying abroad in 2008 than in 2009.

The high-protein, low-carbohydrate(碳水化合物) diets many people turn to for weight loss might have potentially harmful long-term effects on the colon, a small study indicates.
In the study, UK researchers found that a protein-heavy, low-carb diet created certain changes in the colon that could contribute to colon cancer risk. The study itself does not show whether high-protein diets really raise the risk of any colon diseases, but the findings raise that possibility.
Diets relatively high in protein and lower in carbs have been shown to help heavy people lose weight. “People should not be discouraged from losing weight,” Dr Flint said. However, he added, they should make sure that any weight loss plan includes adequate amounts of fiber and a high protein intake over months to years might have ill effects on the colon.
The findings are based on 17 overweight men who followed three short-term diets: a one-week menu plan to keep their weight; a four-week high-protein diet with reasonable amounts of carbohydrates; and a four-week high-protein diet low in carbs.
On average, the study found when the men were on the high-protein diets, they had higher levels of substances known as N-nitroso compounds(亚硝基化合物) and other metabolites(代谢物) that have been linked to cancer. And when they were on the high-protein, low-carb diet, they had lowered amounts of fiber-originated compounds thought to be protective against cancer.
Exactly what those changes might mean for a person’s health is not clear, But Flint said that the findings suggest that people should be cautious about consuming too much protein and too little fiber over a long period. In general, experts recommend that adults get about 28 grams of fiber per day—though it’s not known whether that’s enough for someone on a high-protein

[1]Why can't I get it done?
[2] This is one question millions of people over the globe ask themselves every now and then. It is not as if you are not working hard, but you simply may not know that there is a difference between work and productivity. Your plan is what gives you a clear picture of what you are aiming at, but the method of achieving may vary from time to time. That you did not meet up with a deadline does not mean you were not working on it. The problem is whether you will be able to manage time.
[3] Before you start on the next activity, task or project, first ask yourself why you want to do what you are about to do now. You will by this be able to know if the task should be done, and if the timing is right.
[4] Doing the right thing at the wrong time makes it absolutely wrong. So it is not just enough to do what is right, also consider . Your time has value, when you spend it on what is right at that instance. On the other hand, the value of your task is when it is done at the right time.
[5] You will feel sorry about the time spent on what was not profitable to you. Time can not be wasted, because it can not be preserved and replaced. You are always doing something with your time. What matters is the value of what you are doing at the moment with your time.
[6] The desire to make a difference begins with the ability to take the right decision on what to do. It will become simple if you learn to manage time effectively. 新课 标第 一网

写作:one possible version:
Students have many different ways to study. Some prefer to study alone whereas others prefer to study in a group. Personally, I have a preference for studying alone because it keeps me focused, saves precious time and helps me to cultivate the ability of independent thinking.
When studying alone, I can be more concentrated because I’m in a peaceful study environment. Furthermore, studying alone can save my time. Working with other students, I will have to discuss with them, or I might be regarded as unfriendly, which, undoubtedly, will waste my time. So comparatively speaking, studying alone proves better to me.
In addition, I can cultivate my independent thinking by studying alone. In a group, on the other hand, I might rely on others, By and by, I will become quite dependent, and such dependency may be harmful to my further development.
All in all, I think studying alone is an excellent way to help me study better as well as the best way for me to become an independent person.
