B
How often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.
Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child — things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his parents. He is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things or being punished for what he has done wrong.
When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.

A. life for a child is easy compared with an adult
B. a child is always loved whatever he does
C. if much is given to a child, he must do something in return
D. only children are interested in life
25. After a child grows up, he______________.
A. will have little time playing B. has to be successful in finding a job
C. can still ask for help in time of trouble D. should be able to take care of himself
26. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. People are often satisfied with their life.
B. Life is less interesting for old people.
C. Adults are much freer to do what they want to do.
D. Adults should no longer depend on others.
27. The main idea of the passage is ______________.
A. life is not enjoyable since each age has some pains
B. young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hard
C. childhood is the most enjoyable time in one's life
D. one is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life

C
Sixteen years ago, Eileen boyle’s husband, an engineer, took his four children up for an early morning cup of tea, packed a small case and was never seen or heard from again. Eileen was astonished and in a state of despair. They had been a happy family and, as far as she knew, there had been nothing wrong with their marriage.
Every day of the year a small group of men and women quietly pack a few belongings and, without so much as a note or a good-bye, close the front door for the last time, leaving their debts, their worries and their confused families behind them. Last year, more than 1,200 men and nearly as many women were reported missing from home --- the highest in 15 years. Many did return home within a year, but others rejected the past completely and are now living a new life somewhere under a different identity.
To those left behind this form of desertion is a terrible blow to their pride and self- confidence. Even the finality of death might be preferable. At least it does not imply rejection or failure. Worse than that, people can be left with an unfinished marriage, not knowing whether they will have to wait seven years before they are free to start a fresh life.
Clinical psychologist Paul Brown believes most departures of this kind to be well planned rather than impulsive(冲动). “It’s typical of the kind of personality which seems able to ignore other people’s pain and difficulties. Running away, like killing yourself, is a highly aggressive act. By creating an absence the people left behind feel guilty, upset and empty.”
28. When her husband left home, Eileen Doyle ______________.
A. could not forgive him for taking the children B. had been expecting it to happen for some time
C. could not understand why D. blamed herself for what had happened
29. Most people who leave their families behind them ______________.
A. do so without warning B. do so because of their debts
C. come back immediately D. change their names
30. Some people would even prefer the death to the running away of their spouse because ______________.
A. their spouse would feel no pain during the death
B. their spouse death would not be a bit terrible
C. a desertion would not bring a feeling of rejection or failure
D. their spouse’s death would make them feel less painful
31. Usually the man or woman left behind with an unfinished marriage ______________.
A. admits responsibility for the situation B. wishes the person who has left were dead
C. will come back within a year D. will have no legal marriage life for seven years
D
“So？”he said．“Er…so what？”“So what do you really want to do？”he asked．
My father was a lawyer，and I had always assumed he wanted me to go to law school，and follow his path through life.“I want to travel，and I want to be a

writer.”I replied.
This was not the answer he would expect.“Interesting idea，”he said.“I kind of wish I'd done that when I was your age.”I wailed．
“You have plenty of time．You need to find out what you really enjoy now．Look，it's late. Let's take the boat out tomorrow morning，just you and me. Maybe we can catch some crabs for dinner，and we can talk more．”
Early next morning we set off along the coast. We didn't talk much，but enjoyed the sound of the seagulls and the sight of the coastline and the sea beyond．
There was no surf on the coastal waters at that time．“Let's see if we get lucky，”he said，picked up a mesh basket with a rope attached and threw it into the sea. We waited a while，then my father stood up and said，“Give me a hand with this，”and we pulled up the crab cage onto the deck．
The cage was filled with dozens of soft shell crabs.“Why don't they try to escape？”
“just watch them for a moment. Look at that one，there！He's trying to climb out，but every time the
other crabs pull him back in，”said my father.
After several times，not only did the crab give up its struggle to escape，but it actually began to help stop other crabs trying to escape．He'd finally chosen an easy way of life．
Suddenly I understood why my father had suggested catching crabs that morning. He looked at me.“Don't get pulled back by the others，”he said．“Spend some time figuring out who you are and what you want in life．Think about what's really important to you，what really interests you，what skills you have．If you can't answer these questions now，then take some time to find out. Because if you don't，you'll never be happy.”
My father started the motor and we set off back home.

A ．He had no idea of what he wanted to do in life．

D ．He started worrying about his future．
33．Why did the father and son go to catch crabs?
A ．He wanted to tell his son something about life.
B ．He wanted to teach his son how to catch crabs.
C ．He wanted his son to enjoy the coastline and the sea.
D ．He wanted his son to try something new for dinner.
34．What did the father advise the son to do？
A ．To get to understand himself better.

Do tasks that involve using your fingers, such as crafts, sewing, painting, and finger string games; anything that primarily involves finger movements to accomplish the task will increase your brain memory.
l Avoid smoking.

Memorizing hundreds of English words 61 (be) always a big headache for students. Why not let 62 amazing app Baicizhan help you? First of all, the app helps you divide your work into daily tasks. 63 you have chosen the vocabulary list and an end date, the app then quickly tells you how many words you need to learn every day. For example, you can spend just 10 minutes 64 (memorize) 15 words every day. Doesn’t that sound much 65 (easy) than trying to do everything at once? That’s not all―it can also be much fun. The learning process is like playing a guessing game. Instead 66 just showing the Chinese and English 67 (meaning) of a new word, the app asks you to first choose the correct picture from four, 68 (base) on an English description. This helps you memorize the words 69 (clear). And all of the English is read by native speakers. You can also listen to 70 (it) “English words radio” feature while you’re walking.

书面表达：
Being a Popular Student
We all hope to be popular with our classmates and teachers. To enjoy popularity, we are supposed to regard the class as our big family and even offer to sacrifice our personal interests whenever necessary. While taking an active part in all our class activities, we should work responsibly to build up a good reputation as a team.
To be students with high popularity, we are to show respect, concern and sympathy for others. As a result, we never hesitate to lend a hand to those in need.
To be a popular student, we ought to be strict with ourselves in everything we do at school and make every effort to achieve all-round development, being good not only at our lessons but also at sports, music, painting, social services and so on. In time of success we remain modest, while in time of difficulty we keep strong-minded.
All in all, popularity among classmates and teachers comes naturally to those who keep improving their personal qualities.
