1．You feel happiest when you create a healthy balance between giving and receiving．If you give and give without making time to fill your own needs，then it's likely you will burn out，or feel upset．When you take and take without giving anything back，you never feel fulfilled，so you are always searching for ways to fill the void in your life．
The way to create a healthy balance between giving and receiving is to know and then live by your values．I break values up into two groups which I call being and having values．Your being values are the character traits of the ideal person you would like to be．I suggest to my clients that they choose three being values that they are willing to make a commitment to live by．An example of some being values are：kind，loving，generous，inspirational，peaceful，wise and even powerful．By acting on these values you give to others through your actions and you inspire others by being a positive role model．Mastering being these character traits becomes your life purpose．
Your having values are the feelings you need to create in order to be happy．These could be companionship，achievement，support，being valued or financial security．This is what you receive．You take responsibility for filling your own needs by taking steps to create these feelings and conditions in your life．
When you make a commitment to live by your being values，it becomes easier to make conscious choices rather than reactionary ones．If your usual pattern is to talk about your problems，you could choose to think and act like a calm person．A calm person might go for a walk，meditate（沉思），or set a time limit before responding．If your usual pattern is to worry，you could choose to act like a responsible or wise person．In other words，you would act like the person you choose to be-this is the key to personal power．
When you choose to act on your values，you not only feel good about yourself，you reinforce（加強(qiáng)）your chosen beliefs．Over time acting in this way changes how you see the world，and in turn the way other people think of you．

60．The main purpose of this passage is toC．
A．persuade the readers to make a commitment
B．explain to the readers what personal values are
C．inform the readers how to be truly happy

A．gain a lot of power B．form positive personality

62．The underlined word"void"in Paragraph 1meansA．

C．a(chǎn) break of continuity     D．a(chǎn) state of confusion
63．What can be inferred from the text？B
A．Having values are better than being values．
B．A calm person does not choose to complain．
C．The way other people think of you decides who you are．
D．A responsible person does not care about financial security．

分析 當(dāng)你在給予與接受之間建立一個(gè)健康的平衡時(shí)是你覺得最幸福的時(shí)候．如果你只是給予，沒有時(shí)間來滿足自己的需要，那么你就很可能會(huì)殆盡，或感到不安．當(dāng)你總是接受而不付出，你永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)感到滿足，所以你總是在尋找填補(bǔ)你生活中的空虛的方法．
    付出與接受之間建立一個(gè)健康的平衡的方式是知道并堅(jiān)持自己的價(jià)值觀．我將價(jià)值觀分成兩種，自身價(jià)值和有價(jià)值．自身價(jià)值是你想成為的人．我建議我的客戶去選擇三種他們想過的生活，比如：善良、愛、慷慨、勵(lì)志、和平、智慧和更強(qiáng)大．通過你的行動(dòng)和你作為一個(gè)積極的榜樣來激勵(lì)他人．掌握這些性格特征成為你的人生目標(biāo)．
    有價(jià)值是指你為了快樂而去創(chuàng)建的感覺，這可能是友誼、成就、支持、被重視或金融安全．這是你所接受到的，你需要采取行動(dòng)來創(chuàng)建這些感覺和利用你生活中的條件填充自己的需要．
    當(dāng)你靠你的自身價(jià)值觀做出一個(gè)承諾，就很容易做出有意識(shí)的選擇而不是反動(dòng)的．如果你的通常模式是談?wù)撃愕膯栴}，你可以選擇思想和行為像一個(gè)冷靜的人，冷靜的人可能會(huì)去散步，沉思，或者設(shè)置一個(gè)時(shí)間限制．如果你通常的模式是擔(dān)心，你可以選擇做一個(gè)負(fù)責(zé)任的、有智慧的人．換句話說，你會(huì)像你選擇成為的人那樣行動(dòng)，這是能力法則的關(guān)鍵．
    當(dāng)你選擇對(duì)你的價(jià)值，你不僅對(duì)自己感覺良好，你強(qiáng)化了你選擇的信仰．隨著時(shí)間的推移，不僅你如何看待這個(gè)世界的方式變化了，其他人看待你的方式也在改變．

解答 60-63 CBAB
60題答案是C．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章第一段內(nèi)容You feel happiest when you create a healthy balance between giving and receiving．可知本文主要講述的是如果我們要想幸福，就要在奉獻(xiàn)和接受之間取得一個(gè)平衡．故選C．
61題答案是B．推理判斷題．根據(jù)文章第二段suggest to my clients that they choose three being values that they are willing to make a commitment to live by．An example of some being values are：kind，loving，generous，inspirational，peaceful，wise and even powerful．By acting on these values you give to others through your actions and you inspire others by being a positive role model．可知如果我們以being value的方式在生活，我們會(huì)更加積極向上．故選B．
62題答案是A．推理判斷題．根據(jù)本句When you take and take without giving anything back，you never feel fulfilled，so you are always searching for ways to fill the void in your life．可知，當(dāng)你總是在接受，你永遠(yuǎn)都不會(huì)滿足，總是在尋找方法來填平你心里的不滿足的狀態(tài)．故選A．
63題答案是B．推理判斷題．根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段A calm person might go for a walk，meditate，or set a time limit before responding．可知真正平靜的人在做出回應(yīng)之前是要仔細(xì)考慮的，所以B項(xiàng)會(huì)是他們所做的事情．故選B．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 文章主要講述的是如果我們要想幸福，就要在奉獻(xiàn)和接受之間取得一個(gè)平衡．告訴我們?nèi)绾尾拍茏屪约赫嬲腋＃}目涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解題，做題時(shí)需要結(jié)合原文和題目有針對(duì)性的找出相關(guān)語句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析，結(jié)合選項(xiàng)選出正確答案；推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理地分析才能得出正確答案，切記胡亂猜測(cè)，一定要做到有理有據(jù)．

9．Not for the first time，Paul Mathis wants us to change．But this time he isn't trying to get us to go vegetarian，or dine only on locally grown ingredients．This time he's trying to get us to type differently．
Paul Mathis，a restaurateur from Melbourne who owns a string of dining establishments，has designed the letter"?"-representing the word"the"．Now he is pushing Apple to allow him to promote his app，which features the new character，in its iTunes store．
   In a move to branch out of the food business，Paul has invested AUS $38，000 （£23，500）in the new app，but has so far been rejected by Apple．He is hoping he can change their mind，pointing out that reducing the word"the"-the most used word in the English language-to one character would be helpful for Twitter and swift typing．
"Is this important？"he said，in an interview with The Sydney Morning Herald．"No．Is this going to change the world？Not really．But is it something that might be useful for people？I think so，because it can save people lots of time on keyboard．"
"The word‘a(chǎn)nd'is only the fifth-most used word in English and it has its own symbol-the ampersand‘&'，"said Mr．Mathis．"Isn't it time we gave the same respect to‘the'？"
The top five most commonly used words in the English language are said to be：the，be，to，of，and"and"．The ampersand"&"has at times been used as the 27th letter of the English alphabet．
Paul has developed the typography-effectively an upper-case"T"and a lower-case"h"bunched together so they share the upright stem-and an app that puts it in everyone's hand by allowing users to download an entirely new electronic keyboard complete not just with his symbol but also a row of keys of 15 most frequently typed words．
So far，though，the take-up has been minimal．But that might change if he can get his innovation into Apple's app store．The problem is，the Californian tech giant has so far resisted his advances．But who knows-maybe in 500 years'time people will be amazed that there was a time when we didn't use‘?'．
（Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS）

16．From a very early age，some children exhibit better
self-control than others．Now，a new study that began with about 1，000 children in New Zealand has tracked how a child's low self-control can predict poor health，money troubles and even a criminal record in their adult years．
Researchers have been studying this group of children for decades now．They observed the level of self-control the youngsters displayed．Parents，teachers，even the kids themselves，scored the youngsters on measures like"acting before thinking"and"Persistence in reaching goals．"
The study led  by Moffitt of Duke University and colleagues followed 1，000 children from birth to age 32 in Dunedin，New Zealand．
"The children who had the lowest self-control when they were age three to ten，later on had the most health problems in their 30s，"Moffitt said，"and they had the worst financial situation．They were more likely to have a criminal record and to be raising a child as a single parent on a very low income．"Moffitt explained that self-control problems were widely observed，and weren't just a feature of a small group of misbehaving kids．
Moffitt said it's still unclear why some children have better self-control than others，though she said other researchers have found that it's mostly a learned behavior，with relatively little genetic influence．But good self-control can be set to run in familles because children with good self-control are more likely to grow up to be healthy and prosperous parents．But the good news，Moffitt said，is that self-control can be taught by parents，and through school curricula that have been shown to be effective．
61．From the first two paragraphs we learn that．B
A．the research has been carried out for five years
B．self-control in kids tends to determine their future
C．self-control was assessed by children's intelligence
D．children's self-control is almost the same at early age
62．Children with low self-control are more likely to．D
A．become wealthy in later life     B．get good school performance
C．have better financial planning   D．a(chǎn)dopt negative behaviors
63．According to Moffitt，D 
A．only good genetic factors can shape their lives in the future
B．scientists know well why some children have better self-control
C．self-control in childhood has nothing to do with criminal activity
D．willpower as a child really influences people's chances of adulthood
64．What can be inferred from the passage？D
A．Self-control cannot be taught in schools．
B．The study is restricted within few participants．
C．It's never too late to deal with self-control problems．
D．Good parenting can improve self-control and life success．
65．Which of the following might be the best title of the  passage？A
A．Child's self control predicts future health，success
B．Kids are encouraged to take risks at an early age
C．Children's development cannot be changed by teachers
D．How to teach the kids a bit of self-control in schools．

6．With more and more cars on the road，traffic jams are inevitable． Traffic jams can lead to increased accidents as there are more cars，with more people trying to get to their destination，all the while getting worse．Although it's impossible to avoid traffic jams altogether，there are some tips you can follow to reduce the amount of time on the road．
Check for traffic jams before you leave．You can listen to the radio for traffic news，or check on the Internet to get up-to-minute information on traffic．If the route you want to take is heavy with traffic，you can choose another．

__________ Most traffic jams usually occur during rush hour，so try to avoid this time period if possible．Some jobs offer flexible working hours so that you can travel to work outside of rush hour．Some jobs even allow you to work at home so as to avoid moving altogether．Ask your manager to see what you can do if traffic is a problem for you．

10．As the old saying goes，beauty is in the eye of the beholder．But Venezuela，whose beauty queens have won Miss Universe and Miss World over six times，doesn't leave it to chance．In Venezuela，girls as young as four can be found attending beauty schools，where they can learn a range of skills from how to walk to the correct way to hold a wine glass．
"Hair must always be completely clean，make-up should look natural，and you should always，always wear high-heels，"advises Andrea Reyes，a teacher in a school of Caracas with 160 students．
Beauty contests are treated in Venezuela much as sporting competitions are elsewhere．Many Venezuelan parents believe that if their daughters can succeed and get the beauty crown，their future as famous and public persons is sure to come．As a result，the girls are trained to compete at a young age．
Among former beauty queens are Irene Saez，who went on to compete for the country's president，and Eva Ekvall，whose battle with cancer helped to make more people know about the illness in Venezuela．
However，voices against the trend can be heard all over the country．At one time，a feminist （男女平等主義者） group tried to stop the Miss Venezuela broadcast．President Hugo Chavez has spoken out against the culture of plastic surgery（整形手術(shù)）in Venezuela，calling it a"frightening thing"．
The BBC reporter Sarah Grainger says that acceptance of the contests is partly a result of the country's"machista"（大男子主義的） view of the different roles that men and women should play，"Men are supposed to be strong and brave and women to be gentle and beautiful"．
Miss Universe 1996，Alicia Machado，knows the price to be paid when you're no longer seen as attractive．After winning the beauty contest，she said all she wanted to do was"eat，eat and eat"．Her weight gain later and warning by the organizers of the contest to replace her as queen with the runner-up was among the hottest topics in the country，especially in Latin America．
63．What's the advice given by a teacher in Caracas to her students？C
A．Attending beauty schools as early as possible．
B．Wearing high-heels at times．
C．Washing your hair quite often．
D．Fighting against cancer bravely．
64．Girls try to win in the beauty contest toC．
A．try plastic surgery               
B．practice the country's"machista"view
C．earn a good future                
D．eat as much as one pleases
65．We can learn from the passage thatB．
A．Venezuela girls have won Miss Universe and Miss World over six times by chance
B．In Venezuela，people judge men and women in quite different ways
C．Eva Ekvall once competed for the country's president
D．Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez has spoken out against beauty contests
66．What does the underlined word"runner-up"in the last paragraph mean？D
A．the news reporter covering the beauty contest
B．the organizer of the beauty contest
C．the girl who is slim
