Now as a mother myself, I'm anxious about the future, but I'm optimistic at the same time. I have the same concerns that my mother had for me and my brothers when we were growing up and going out into the world. The world it's said has shrunk or become flat. We're connected in ways we never were before. So how do we deal with these new challenges? Well, the other day I was speaking about my concerns for the future. And I said that I wanted to make sure that young people would work hard because we're in competition with jobs. When I was sitting where you are now, I didn't have to worry about competition from China or India. There were no global pressures like you will face as you mark your own way. And we need to get every young person to really get a sense of commitment and to work hard. Well, then my daughter said, "Mom I do work hard and my friends work hard." And I said, "I know that. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to convey any impression that you don't work hard. I just want to set the bar high because we are in a competition for the future."
You know, in 1999 when I was thinking of running for the Senate, I did not know what to do. I was really thinking hard because I had to make a decision. And there were a lot of things to consider. Obviously, no first lady had ever sought public office before. I had obviously never run for office before.
You know, often our most fearsome competitor is ourselves. We struggle with all of the internal doubts and anxieties, fears for the future, concerns for the world. Sometimes when I look at what's happening in the world, it's hard to imagine going out and doing anything of meaning. But we can do it and not only that, we must. America needs you to grab hold of this moment. So compete to do the best you can and help make our country the best it can be. So today, after you've accepted your diploma, but before you leave this place, please thank your family for guiding you to this moment. Thank your professors for showing you a new world. Thank your friends for exploring that world and finally remember what this day feels like. Cherish it always. Go for it. The world awaits you.
41．Who is most probably the speaker “I”?
A．a(chǎn) Chinese   B．a(chǎn)n Indian   C．a(chǎn)n American adult   D．a(chǎn) university student
42．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A．Quite a few first ladies have run for public offices.
B．Only after you’ve got your diploma and before you leave your university should you thank your parents, your professors and your friends.
C．The speaker is always aware of what to do because she is a determined person.
D．The speaker is concerned about the future even though she is optimistic.
43．Why do you think the speaker urge the students to work harder?
A．Because the students are not really working hard at all.
B．Because they are faced with global competition on their way to their future.
C．Because only in this way can they afford to go to an expensive bar for a good drink.
D．Because their most fearsome competitors are themselves.
44．On the whole, the speech is ________ .
A．disappointing   B．encouraging   C．negative   D．necessary

Mrs. Jones was very fond of singing. She had a good   16 , except that some of her high notes tended to sound like a gate, which someone had forgotten to   17 . Mrs. Jones was very conscious of this   18 , and took every   19  she could find to practice these high   20 . As she lived in a small house where she could not practice without   21   the rest of the family, she usually went for long walks along the country roads whenever she had time, and practiced her high notes there. Every time she heard a   22  or a person coming along the   23 , she stopped and   24   until she could no longer be heard before she started practicing again, because she was a   25  person, and because she was sensitive about those high notes.
One afternoon, however, a fast, open car came up behind her so   26  and so fast that she did not hear it until it was only a few yards from her. She was singing some of her highest and most   27  notes at the time, and as the car passed her, she saw an anxious   28   suddenly come over its driver’s face. He put his brakes on violently, and as soon as the car stopped, jumped out and began to   29  all his tires carefully.
Mrs. Jones did not dare to tell him what the noise he had heard had really been, so he got back into his car and drove off as   30  as he had been when he stopped.

As a saying goes, every bean has its black .It is impossible to make no mistakes all one’s life. My grandpa Nybakken, a carpenter，is no _36_．Several decades ago he made a mistake -a(n) perfect mistake, _37_．
On a cold Saturday, Mother's father was building some wooden cases for the clothes his _38_ was sending to an orphanage（孤兒院）in Africa. On his way home, he _39_ into his shirt pocket to find his glasses, but they were gone. He remembered putting them there that morning, so he drove back to the church. His _40_ proved fruitless.
When he _41_ replayed his earlier actions, he realized what happened．The glasses had slipped out of his pocket unnoticed and fallen into one of the cases, which he had nailed shut. His brand new glasses, having _42_ him $20 that very morning, were heading for Africa! He had to drive home _43_.
Several months later, the director of the orphanage came to give a report on Sunday night at my grandfather's church, _44_ Grandpa and his family also attended.
“But most of all,” he said，“I must thank you for the _45_ you sent last year. You see, the bandits(土匪）had just _46_ through the orphanage, destroying everything, including my glasses. I was desperate.”
“_47_ I had the money, there was simply no way of _48_ those glasses. _49_ not being able to see well, I experienced headaches every day. Then your cases arrived. When my staff _50_ the covers, they found a pair of glasses lying on top.”
Then, still gripped（吸引注意）with the _51_ of it all, he continued, “ When I tried _52_ the glasses, it was as though they had been made just for me! I want to thank you for being a part of that!”
The people listened，_53_ for the miraculous glasses. But the director surely must have _54  their church with another, they thought. There were no glasses on their _55_ of items to be sent overseas.
But sitting quietly in the back, with tears streaming down his face, an ordinary carpenter realized the Master Carpenter had used him in an extraordinary way.

Thousands of people in the world are a hundred years old－or more and certain parts of the world are famous for the long lives of their inhabitants: the Vilacamba Valley in Ecuador, and the home of the Hunzas in the Himalayas．
Why do so many people live to a healthy old age in certain parts of the world? What is the secret of their long lives? Three things seem to be very important: fresh air, fresh food and a simple way of life．People work near their homes in the clean mountain air instead of travelling long distances to work by bus, car or train．They do not sit all day in busy offices or factories, but work hard outdoors in the fields．They take more exercise and eat less food than people in the cities of the West．For years the Hunzas of the Himalayas did not need policemen, lawyers or doctors．There was no crime, no divorce and not much illness in their society． They were a happy, peaceful people, famous all over India for their long, healthy lives．
Do you want to live to a hundred years old? Here are some rules for success．Firstly, choose your parents and grandparents carefully．If they lived or live to a good old age, so will you．Secondly, live in the right place．Thirdly, choose the right  kind of job．Doctors, dentists and bus-drivers die young．Farmers, priests and orchestral conductors live much longer．If you are in the wrong kind of job, you can still improve your way of life．
An old man in the Caucasus was talking about his past life．"I was young then," he said, as he described his 87th year．His secret was: "Think young and stay young．" An old woman from Missouri, USA, gave this advice, "Drink a little whisky and some warm beer every day．" An English lady just said, "Take a cold bath every morning．" The shortest, simplest piece of advice came from Mr．Jim Chapman, aged 103．"Just keep breathing," he told reporters．
72．Who is most likely to live a long life?
A．A doctor． B．A bus-driver． C．A dentist． D．An orchestral conductor．
73．We can see from the passage that long-lived people avoid ____．
A．working hard             B．drinking
C．eating too much            D．taking cold baths
74．The passage indicates that we can change our _____to live a long life．
A．jobs    B．places of living   C．ways of living   D．ways of thinking
75．What is mainly talked about in the last paragraph?
A．Whose advice is the best．
B．Who is the most long-lived person in the world．
C．Lifestyles of long-lived people．
D．How long-lived people think of their life．

Not long ago, someone asked the dad of a young pop star what his son would have done if he hadn’t become a singer. The father said he had  36 considered anything else. This was his Plan A.

“Just study what you’re interested in ,” I said.
“But what if I can’t   39   it?” he asked.
“It’ll still be worth it.” I answered.
My friends think I’m   40  . They’ve advised their own children to   41  something they think will bring them financial rewards, ___42   they don’t love it. “Times are hard: get your son into something that can   43  a good job.” A friend told me.

Julie, most of us are never going to achieve the heights you did as the CEO of a company. I just want to say that I was so touched by your transparency (坦誠(chéng)). I haven’t been attacked publicly ever like you, but I’ve suffered from depression—just recently in fact. It helps a lot to hear personal stories, and it helped to read how you might have handled things differently.
 
Nancy responded on May 21, 2009
Something in Julie drew her to artwork during a very dark time in her journey. And later she stated that it’s beauty that keeps her going. Beauty and creativity can be very powerful in our lives. And it doesn’t surprise me that Julie was drawn to these naturally. Anne, maybe the artistic kinds of activities Julie used will support you well as you move beyond the depressive feelings you’re dealing with.
 
Anne responded on June 4, 2009
