| On receiving my learner driver license a couple of months ago, I started driving lessons straight away. In New Zealand, the 1 driving age is 15. However it wasn't 2 two days ago that Dad finally allowed me to drive on the motorway. Our 3 was Urawa, a seaside town about 60 kilometers away from my home in Auckland. That morning I 4 sure I had enough to drink and went to the toilet (厕所) about three times 5 we left. I thought I was totally 6 for the journey, but nothing could have prepared me for my family's 7 . "Relax! Don't hold the steering wheel (方向盘) so 8 . The car is going zigzag (弯弯曲曲的), called a nervous voice from the 9 . "Speed up. 70km/h isn't fast enough. You are holding up the traffic," another voice ordered from the seat next to mine. How 10 ! My parents were really starting to get on my nerves. To satisfy them I sped up and within a second, an angry voice began to yell again. "Stop! 11 ! Are you crazy? " Everything did not go fine until I pulled off the motorway and drove into the city, 12 the speed limit was only 50km/h. My family seemed relieved (放心的) and 13 telling me what to do. They all looked out of the windows and enjoyed the scenery. 14 , that silence didn't last very long. My mum suddenly cried out, "Look at those birds above us. 15 they lovely?" How did she expect me to look up in the 16 ? As the driver I had to 17 . Who knows what would have happened if I had taken my eyes off the 18 ? Four hours later we drove home. This time the journey was much 19 than before as everyone else 20 fast asleep. So, I just took my time and enjoyed the drive. | |||

| Do you have bright ideas? Ideas or inventions that change society or, at least, make life easier for somebody? Perhaps we all do sometimes, but we don't often make the idea a reality. Recently, in Britain, there was a competition called British Designers for Tomorrow. The competition encourages young people to carry out their bright ideas. There were two groups in the contest: Group One was for schoolchildren under 16; Group Two was for schoolchildren over 16, and there were eleven prize-winners altogether. Neil Hunt, one of the prize-winners, was called "Sunshine Superman". It's important when people study the weather to be able to record sunshine accurately. We need to know how many hours of sunshine we have and how strong it is. Most sunshine recorders only record direct sunlight. Neil's is more accurate and this is very important for research into the way of using solar power. You can do so much with animated cartoon. Look at Simon West's idea for animated road signs. He uses pictures which appear to move as you go nearer to or farther from them. This isn't a new idea. But it is new to use these pictures on road signs. "We found that people were more likely to see moving signs," said Simon. So now, you can really see rocks falling, trains moving, horses running or a car falling over the edge of a cliff. Quite a warning! The ideas in the competition were so inventive that we are surprised that British industry doesn't ask more schoolchildren for suggestions. Perhaps this will be the start of "pupil power!" |
| 1. The writer seems to be encouraging the British industry to . |
| A. help schoolchildren in their studies B. take better care of schoolchildren C. stop asking schoolchildren for suggestions D. pay more attention to schoolchildren's inventive power |
| 2. Neil Hunt's design would finally lead to the improvement of the way of . |
| A. recording direct sunshine B. knowing how strong sunlight is C. using the energy of the sun D. recording the hours of sunshine |
| 3. The organizers of the competition hoped the schoolchildren would . |
| A. become good designers for future Britain B. win as many prizes as they could C. design something useful for the next day D. invent something for immediate use |
| 4. What's the use of Simon West's animated road signs? |
| A. To add to the beauty of a city. B. To warn people on the roads of the danger ahead. C. To help make a car trip more exciting. D. To warn people to be careful while working. |
| 5. The writer holds that people seldom . |
| A. make their life easier B. turn their bright ideas into reality C. have bright ideas D. think of inventing something |

| College graduation brings both the satisfaction of academic achievement and the expectation of a well-paid job. But for 6,000 graduates at San Jose State this year, there's uncertainty as they enter one of the worst job markets in decades. Ryan Stewart has a freshly minted(新兴的) degree in religious studies, but no job prospects. "You look at everybody's parents and neighbors, and they're getting laid off and don't have jobs," said Stewart. "Then you look at the young people just coming into the workforce... it's just scary." When the class of 2003 entered college, the future never looked brighter. But in the four years they've been here, the world outside has changed dramatically. "Those were the exciting times, lots of dot-com opportunities, exploding offers, students getting top dollar with lots of benefits," said Cheryl Allmen-Vinnidge of the San Jose State Career Center. "Times have changed. It's a new market." Cheryl Allmen-Vinnidge ought to know. She runs the San Jose State Career Center, sort of a crossroads between college and the real world. Allmen-innidge says students who do find jobs after college have done their homework. "The typical graduate who does have a job offer started working on it two years ago. They've postured(定位)themselves well during the summer. They've had several internships(实习)," she said. And they've majored in one of the few fields that are still hot, like chemical engineering, accounting, or nursing, where average starting salaries have actually increased over last year. Other popular fields (like information systems management, computer science, and political science) have seen big declines in starting salaries. Ryan Stewart (he had hoped to become a teacher) may just end up going back to school. "I'd like to teach college some day and that requires more schooling, which would be great in a bad economy," he said. To some students, a degree may not be a ticket to instant wealth. For now, they can only hope its value will increase over time. |
| 1. The expression "dot-com" in the fourth paragraph probably means " _____ ". |
| A. a well-known website B. jobs related to high-technology C. a company making dots D. teaching on the Internet |
| 2. What does Cheryl Allmen-Vinnidge mean when she says students have "done their homework"? |
| A. They have spent time preparing themselves to find a job. B. They have gone to summer school for further studies. C. They are good students who have finished their homework on time. D. They have found full-time jobs as their future career before graduation. |
| 3. The purpose of a college career center is probably to ____. |
| A. help students do their homework B. find jobs for students while they are in school C. prepare students to find jobs after they graduate D. help high school students get accepted to college |
| 4. Ryan Stewart is probably going to _____ . |
| A. change his major B. become a religious leader C. get a job teaching D. go back to school |
| 5. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean? |
| A. Having a college degree does not provide travel discounts. B. A college degree doesn't promise a person a high-paid job. C. Most students with degrees will be able to find jobs. D. The best way to get rich is to get a college degree. |

| Anger is good for you, as long as you control it, according to new psychology research. A new study from Carnegie Mellon University shows anger may help people reduce the negative impacts of stress and help you become healthier. "Here getting emotional is not bad for you if you look at the case of anger," said Jennifer Lerner of Carnegie Mellon. "The more people display anger, the lower their stress responses." Lerner studied 92 UCLA students by asking them to count back from 6,200. They must say outloud every thirteenth number. Researchers disturbed them by asking them to count faster or ask them other questions. If they made any mistakes, they had to restart from the very beginning. Many students felt depressed about making so many mistakes or got angry. Lerner used a hidden video camera and recorded all their facial expressions during the test. The researchers describe their reactions as fear, anger and disgust. Other researchers recorded the students' blood pressure, pulse and production of a high-stress hormone (荷尔蒙) called cortisol. People whose faces showed more fear during the experiment had higher blood pressure and higher levels of the hormone. Both can have lasting effects such as diabetes (糖尿病), heart disease, depression and extra weight gain. When people feel fear, negative impacts increase, but when they get angry, those negatives go down, according to the study. "Having that sense of anger leads people to actually feel some power in what otherwise is maddening (令人发狂的) situation," Lerner said. Lerner previously studied Americans' emotional response to the 911 terrorist attacks two months after the incident. She found people who reacted with anger were more optimistic. These people are healthier compared with those who were frightened during the event. So in maddening situations, anger is not a bad thing to have. It's a healthier response than fear. |
| 1. What is the story mainly about? |
| A. The findings of new psychology research. B. What you can do with anger in certain cases. C. Different effects produced by anger and fear. D. Healthier responses in maddening situations. |
| 2. Which statement will Jennifer Lerner agree with? |
| A. It's better to be angry than to be frightened. B. Different reactions reflect different outlooks on life. C. Don't control your anger and it makes you powerful. D. Pessimistic people are generally healthier. |
| 3. What does the underlined word "both" refer to according to the passage? |
| A. Fear and anger. B. Blood pressure and pulse. C. Blood pressure and cortisol. D. Higher blood pressure and higher levels of the hormone. |
| 4. In what way can anger be beneficial to people? |
|
A. By showing their optimistic side. |
| 5. The researchers irritated (激怒) the students by ______. |
| A. recording their performance secretly B. asking them to count to 6,200 again and again C. disturbing them and making them start all over again D. criticizing them when they made mistakes |

| The best way to come first is to go last. An analysis of almost 50 years of competitions—including Eurovision Song Contests and world skating championships—has found that contestants are more likely to win if they are among the last to appear before the judges. The study by an American university appears to provide scientific proof that the best man, or woman, does not always win. It found that, on average, the last competitor to appear in the Eurovision Song Contest was more than twice as likely to win as the one who went on first. The first rounds of figure-skating championships, for which the running order is selected at random, showed more dramatic results. The final skater had a 14 percent chance of victory, making him or her more than four times as likely to win as the first skater. The study showed a gradual worsening of chances for competitors who appeared earlier in the running order. A contestant who appears first in a contest is two percent less likely to win than one who appears second. A contestant who appears second is two percent less likely to win than one who appears third, and so on. The findings are published in the March issue of Acta Psychologica, a scientific journal. Robert Hardman, a senior lecturer in psychology at London Metropolitan University who specializes in the science of decision-making, said that the results were interesting. He suggested that the effect was caused by the limitations of the human memory. "When people make comparisons, they aren't really able to make a lot of fine-grade discrimination. When contestants appear at the beginning of a contest, judges have little to compare them to and are perhaps wary (谨慎的) of the scores they give," he said. "Later on, when judges are able to compare the contestants to those that have gone before, they might give more extreme marks because they feel more confident about their judgments." |
| 1. Robert Hardman's words mainly tell about his _____. |
| A. own achievement in the research B. explanation for the findings C. suggestion to solve the problem D. comments on the findings |
| 2. The first skater in the first round of figure skating championships had about a ____ percent chance of winning. |
| A. two B. three C. four D. five |
| 3. According to the study, the best competitor does not always win possibly because he/she _____ . |
| A. fails to show his/her very best B. is mistakenly put in the running order C. meets with unfair judges D. appears too early before the judges |
| 4. Judging from the context, the underlined word "worsening" in the 5th paragraph should mean _____ . |
| A. decrease in number B. increase in degree C. reduction in possibility D. rising in quantity |
| 5. What may be a problem with the judges according to the article? |
| A. They can't remember things well enough. B. They believe the first is seldom the best. C. They don't really know what is good. D. They show favor towards the contestants they like. |

| All people have dreams and they obey the rule that if you can dream it, you can achieve it!Here are four goals for people to reach a perfect life in their future. The first goal common to all of us is health and energy. We all want to be healthy and fit, to have high levels of energy and to live free of pain and illness. Today, with the incredible advance in medical science, the quality of our health and fitness, and our lifespan is largely determined by design, not by chance. People with excellent health habits are far healthier, have more energy, and live longer and better than people who have poor health habits. Remember that health is not everything, but without health everything is nothing! The second goal that we all have in common is to enjoy excellent relationships-intimate, personal or social-with the people we like and respect, and who in turn. Fully 85% of your happiness will be determined by the quality of your relationships at each stage, and in each area, of your life. How well you get along with people, and how much they like and respect you, have more impact on the quality of your life than perhaps any other factor. The third common goal is to do work that we enjoy, to do it well, and to be well paid for it. You want to be able to get and keep the job you want, to get paid more and promoted (晋升) faster. You want to earn the very most that is possible for you at each stage of your career, whatever you do. The fourth goal we all have in common is to achieve financial independence. You want to reach the point in life where you have enough money so that you never have any financial worries. You want to be completely free of them. You want to be able to order dinner in a restaurant without referring to the price listings to determine what you want to eat. |
