A
Once there was a man and a woman. They had been married for more than 60 years. They kept no secrets from each other except that the old woman had a shoe box under her bed. She told her husband never to open or ask about it.
For all these years, he had never thought about the box. But one day the old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would never get better.
The woman said it was time that he should know what was in the box. The old man took the shoe box to his wife's bedside.
When he opened it,he found two beautiful doilies(装饰小垫) and some money. The money was $25,000.“When we got married,”she said,“my grandmother told me that the secret of a happy family was never to fight. She told me if every time I got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet(编织) one doily.”
The old man was so moved because only two doilies were in the box. He thought she had only been angry with him twice in all those years. “My dear,” he said,“but what about all the money? Where did it all come from?”“Oh,” she said, “that's the money I made from selling the doilies. So far, I have sold 2,500 doilies.”

Michael Rossi is the Internet favorite Dad right now.
Mr. Rossi, a father from Philadelphia, recently took his kids, Jack and Victoria, to Boston for
17
three days during the school term. But Rydal Elementary School, one of the oldest schools in Boston, doesn’t accept family holidays as an excuse for their absence and give them a warming notice. So Mr. Rossi wrote a letter to the school, which has been shared by thousands of parents online.
Dear Mrs. Marbyry,
While I am thankful for your concern for our children and the best education our kids receive from you, I can promise you they’ve learned as much in the three days we were in Boston as they would in a whole year in school.
Although they missed an important test, they learned about something more important for them, especially for their future.
They experienced first –hand the love and support from thousands of other people with a common goal. At the marathon(马拉松) , which is known as the most difficult one in the world, they watched runners with disabilities work together to collect money for children in poor areas.
In addition, our children walked the Freedom Trail, visited the site of the Boston Tea Party and the graves of several great pioneers of America. These are things they WILL learn in school a year or more from now.
We truly love our school and teachers. But I wouldn’t hesitate (犹豫) to pull them out of school again for an experience like the one they had this time.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Michael Rossi
24. What has made Michael famous online recently ?
A. A letter to his kids’ school headmaster. B. His kids’ poor performance in a test.
C. A three – day –trip to Boston with his kids. D. A warming notice from his kids’ school.
25. Why did the school get angry with Michael?
A. He let his kids join the Boston Tea Party.
B. He didn’t allow his kids to take an important test.
C. He pulled his kids out of school during the school time.
D. He invited his young kids to watch a marathon race.

17
___________?
A. beg the school not to punish his kids
B. say sorry to the headmaster, Mrs. Marbyry
C. tell the school what they did in the three days

C. He wanted them to learn from those great pioneers of America.
D. He wanted them to learn to love and care for poor people.

Old age may not sound exciting. But recent findings offer good news for older people and for people who worried about getting older.
Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of 50. In fact,they said,by the age of 85,people are happier with their life than they were when they were 18 years old.
The findings came from a survey(调查) of more than 340,000 adults in the US. The Gallup Organization questioned them by telephone in 2008.At that time,the people were between the ages of 18 and 85.
The researchers asked questions about emotions like happiness,sadness and worry. They also asked about mental or emotional stress.
Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of 22 and 25.
The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties. Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. The people weren’t likely to report negative emotions they were in their seventies and eighties.
The study also showed that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However,women at all ages reported more sadness,stress and worry than men.
The findings appeared in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Researchers said they didn’t know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory is that,as people grow older,they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their
17
emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.
Professor Stone said the emotional patterns could be linked to changes in how people see the world,or maybe even changes in brain chemistry.
The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children,being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and wellbeing related to age.
28.How many people were involved in this survey?
A.More than 340,000 adults. B.Less than 314,000 adults.
C.More than 340 adults. D.More than 3,000,000 adults.
29.What does the underlined word “negative” in Paragraph 6 mean?
A.平和的 B.积极的 C.负面的 D.激烈的
30.Which of the following is NOT true?
A.Researchers know exactly why happiness increases as people get older.
B.Men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older.
C.Women at all ages reported more sadness,stress and worry than men.
D.Levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of 22 and 25.
31.Which of the following is the best title for this passage?
A.Why Elder People Feel Happier than Young people?
B.The Older,the Happier
C.Different Emotional Patterns Between Men and Women
D.What Makes the Elder Happy?
D
For some people, music is no fun at all. About 4% of the population is what scientists call “amusic”. People who are amusic are born without the ability to enjoy musical notes. Amusic people often cannot tell the differences between two songs.
As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amuics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. In fact, most people cannot understand what it feel like be amusic. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping center can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics have to stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in social loneliness. “I used to hate parties,” says Margaret, a seventy-year-old woman
17
who only recently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Margaret, scientists are finally learning how to identify(辨别) this unusual condition.
Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different for those of people who can enjoy music. The difference is complex(复杂的), and it is not connected with poor hearing. Amusics can understand other non-musical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding common speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just can’t see certain colors.
Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed(诊断). For years, Margaret felt embarrassed about her music problem. Now she knows that she is not alone. That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a concert, I just say ”No, thanks. I’m amusic.’” says Margret.
32. Amusics are the people who _________.
A. like music B. are born unable to enjoy music
C. don’t like music D. have poor listening
33. Life is hard for amusics mainly because _________.
A. music seems noise for them.
B. amusics hate parties, restaurants or shopping center.
C. amusics try to stay at places full of music
D. people don’t understand amusics
34. What causes amusics different from most people according to scientists?
A. Their lack of colors. B. Their poor hearing.
C. Their brains. D. Their problems with speech.
35. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Some people’s inability to enjoy music. B. Musical ability.
C. Amusics’ strange behaviors. D. Identification and treatment of amusic.

M: Yeah. They are on sale for today only, though. Can we go? We can each pay our own expenses.
W: I can’t.
M: Why not?
W: I spent too much last year on my vacation. (7) I am still trying to pay for that trip. It was fun, but now I am working day and night to pay for it.

M: What can I do for you, madam?
W: I’m looking for a book about famous people. It’s for my daughter Anna.
M: Well, let me see. Is this one OK? It’s about Mo Yan, a famous Chinese writer. (10)
W: No, she already has a lot of books about writers.
M: How about this one? It tells the story of a famous scientist, Stephen Hawking. (10) This book sells very well.
W: I don’t think she will like it. My daughter doesn’t like science at all. And she doesn’t like sports, either.
M: What is she interested in?
W: I think she’s more interested in history. (11)
M: Then this one must be perfect. It’s about Lin Zexu, a national hero.
W: Yes, that will suit her. I’ll take it.

W: Dad, I need a few supplies for school, and I was wondering if…
M: Yeah, there are a couple of pencils and an eraser in the kitchen drawer, I think. (13)
W: Dad, I am in the eighth grade now, (14) and I need real supplies for my classes.
M: Oh, so you need a ruler, too…
W: Dad, I need some high-tech things like a calculator, an MP3 player, and a computer.
M: What? I didn’t have any of those things when I was in middle school, and I did just fine.
W: Yeah, and there weren’t any cars, either, were there?
M: Well, you can forget about the MP3 player and the computer. And as for the calculator, do you know how much one will cost? (15)
W: Well, I saw one in the store for only 99 dollars, or you could buy it online. (16) Dad, please! Everyone has one, and you always say you want me to be the best in school. I’d even contribute 10 dollars of my own. (16)
M: OK. That sounds fine. (15) (16)

Good afternoon, shoppers. We need your attention. We have a lost boy at the front of the store. He has been in the manager’s office for 10 minutes, and no one has come forward to ask for him. He has light brown hair and blue eyes. (17) He is wearing a red T-shirt and jeans. He has a white T-shirt in his hand. On the back of the T-shirt is the word BOY spelled in big letters. He says his name is Jack. (18) He doesn’t know his mother’s name because he says he calls her “Mom”. He doesn’t know his address because he says his mom always takes him home. He appears to be about six years old. A clerk found him sitting in the toy section drawing in the coloring books there. (19) If his mother is still in the store, we ask that she come by and please pick up her son. (20)
