A while ago my family and I went sledding(滑雪橇) and as I watched my children climbing up the slope I started thinking.
Many people are convinced that most of today’s   26   problems are because of the “me” generation. Youngsters are just out for themselves and pay no   27   to others or their needs. Indeed, a common belief is that today’s youngsters won’t do anything  28   there is something in it for them.
Yet, while sledding, I saw a   29  side. I watched my two oldest children (then five and four) take my youngest(then two years old)by the hand to help her up the slippery slope  30   they went up. They would have been   31  without her, but not once did they try to sneak (溜掉)by her without helping. And when the sled  32  my two daughters was aimed toward the edge, it was my five year old son who ran to them to  33  them from falling and hurting themselves.
These children sometimes   34  among themselves and, on occasion, behave horribly. But I can  35  them shopping and know that they won’t ask for anything, I can talk to them about tsunami or hurricane victims and know that they will offer to  36  some of their own money to the cause, and I can ask them to play with those children  37  on the sideline(作為旁觀者) and know that they will befriend(照顧)them.
Perhaps, therefore, the “me” generation is to blame  38   much of society’s problems—not the youngsters who want everything,   39  the adults who have taught them to selfishly  40   only of themselves.
Most adults have been   41  at some time or another, sadly, many   42  that disappointment down to their children. Then the children learn to put themselves first!
Most young children want to help. We can  43  that feeling by teaching the lesson my children learned while sledding: Life is a slippery slope with  44  of bumps(撞傷) and bruises(擦傷), but we can all make it to the  45  if we remember to help those who need it.

The quest for success always begins with a target. As Berra once said, "You got to be very careful if you don't know where you're going, because you might not get there."
Too many people wander through life like sleepwalkers. Each day they follow familiar routines, never asking, “What am I doing with my life?” and they don’t know what they’re doing because they lack goals.
Goal-setting is a focusing of the will to move in a certain direction. Begin with a clear conception of what you want. Write down your goals and date them—putting them into words clarifies them. Rather than concentrating on objects to acquire and possess, focus on fulfilling your desires to do, to produce, to contribute—goal-setting that yields the true sense of satisfaction we all need.
It’s important to visualize(想象)yourself accomplishing your goal. While losers visualize the penalties(不利)of failure, winners visualize the rewards of success. I’ve seen it among athletes, statistics contrasting air and highway safety, but it made no difference. I had read too many articles describing crash scenes and imagined these scenes vividly. I had programmed myself, without realizing it, to stay off planes.
Then one summer I had the opportunity to fly on a private plane with friends to a resort;I didn’t want to miss out on a great vacation. So I spent two weeks imagining a smooth flight on a beautiful sunny day and an easy landing.
When the day arrived, I was eager to go. To everyone’s surprise, I got on the plane and I loved every minute of it, and I still use the techniques I employed that day.
68.According to the passage, if you want to be successful, the first thing for you to do is _______.
A.find the right methods     B.be careful about everything
C.know your ability           D.have a clear goal
69.If you have a target, you will ________.
A.wander like a sleepwalker       B.know well what you are doing
C.do the same work every day    D.put it into words
70.The problem with the author before he overcame his fear of air travel is that ______.
A.he didn’t know air travel is safer than highway travel
B.he couldn’t imagine himself accomplishing his goal
C.he read too much about plane crashes and tried to avoid flying
D.he wanted to take a private plane instead of a public one
71.What would be the best title for this passage?
A.Define Your Coal                  B.Visualize Rewards of Success
C.Overcome the Fear of Air Travel    D.Sleepwalking Through Life

When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible—and it can be surprisingly    16    to your physical and    17    health.
“People who always forgive others   18    less depression, anger and stress and more hopefulness,” says Frederic Luskin, Ph.D., the    19    of Forgive for Good. “So it can help    20    on the wear and tear on our organs, reduce the wearing out of the immune(免疫的) system and    21    people to feel more vital.”
So how do you start the forgiveness? Try    22    these steps:
Calm yourself. To defuse your    23   , try a simple stress-management technique. “Take a couple of breaths and think of    24    that gives you pleasure: a   25    scene in nature, someone you love,” Luskin says.
Don’t    26    an apology. “Many times the person who hurt you has no    27    of apologizing,” Luskin says. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same    28   . So if you wait for people to apologize you could be waiting a(n)   29    long time.” Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean    30    to the person who upsets you.
Take the control away from your offender. Mentally replaying(重播) your    31    gives power to the person who caused you pain. “   32    focusing on your hurt feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness   33    you,” Luskin says.
Try to see things from the other person’s view. If you empathize(把感情移入) with that person, you may    34    that he or she was acting out of ignorance, fear—even love.
Recognize the benefits of forgiveness. Research has shown that people who always forgive others will get more energy, better    35    and better sleep.
Don’t forget to forgive yourself.“For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge,” Luskin says. But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don’t do it.”

Every people has its own way of saying things, its own special expressions. Many everyday American expressions are on colors.
Red is a hot color. Americans often use it to express heat. They may say they are red hot about something unfair. When they are red hot they are very angry about something. The small hot tasting peppers found in many Mexican foods are called red hots for their color and their fiery taste. Fast loud music is popular with many people. They may say the music is red hot, especially the kind called Dixieland jazz.
Pink is a lighter kind of red. People sometimes say they are in the pick when they are in good health. The expression was first used in America at the beginning of the twentieth century. It probably comes from the fact that many babies are born with a nice pink color that shows that they are in good health.
Blue is a cool color. The traditional blues music in the United States is the opposite of red hot music. Blues is slow, sad and soulful. Duke Ellington and his orchestra recorded a famous song – Mood Indigo – about the deep blue color, indigo. In the words of the song: “You ain’t been blue till you’ve had that Mood Indigo.” Someone who is blue is very sad.
The color green is natural for trees and grass. But it is an unnatural color for humans. A person who has a sick feeling stomach may say she feels a little green. A passenger on a boat who is feeling very sick from high waves may look very green.
Sometimes a person may be upset because he does not have something as nice as a friend has, like a fast new car. That person may say he is green with envy. Some people are green with envy because a friend has more dollars or greenbacks. Dollars are called greenbacks because that is the color of the back side of the paper money.
The color black is used often in expressions. People describe a day in which everything goes wrong as a black day. The date of a major tragedy is remembered as a black day. A blacklist is illegal now. But at one time, some businesses refused to employ people who were on a blacklist for belonging to unpopular organizations.
小題1:If you had your wallet stolen while doing some shopping, you may call it        .
A.a(chǎn) white dayB.a(chǎn) black dayC.a(chǎn) red dayD.a(chǎn) green day

People like to look in the mirror often when they have a young and beautiful face. However, when one grows old, nobody wants to see their wrinkled old face in the mirror any more. So, many old people seldom look at their faces in the mirror. This is completely wrong.
According to Wu Zhenyun, a professor from the Psychological Research Institute under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a person’s willingness to look in the mirror can reflect his or her mentality. When people don’t care too much about their age, they will try to carry themselves with ease and natural poise (姿態(tài)). They don’t mind looking in the mirror to see their own faces. Some people even love to look in the mirror from time to time to see whether they keep a good appearance. In this way, mirror becomes their best friend that help them to look confident.
On the other hand, some people are afraid of being old. They don’t want to see the wrinkles on their face and their hair turning grey. So they don’t want to look in the mirror. This actually reflects a negative attitude they hold towards life. In the long term, they might suffer from psychological pressure or some sort of depression, which is actually not a wise act.
“ Everyone can make themselves look charming at every age stage. If one is confident, one will always look beautiful, it shows that they accept themselves.” professor Wu said.
Mirror cannot only give confidence to one. By looking in the mirror, one can even find the traces of some diseases from one’s own face.
67.Why does the mirror become the best friend for some people?
A. Because it brings much confidence to them.
B. Because it makes them more beautiful.
C. Because it tells whether they are clean or not.
D. Because it helps them find their own faults.
68.The fact that some people are afraid of looking in the mirror reflects that______.
A. they suffer from metal disease  B. they treat life in a negative way      
C. they are too ugly              D. they can’t bear the pressure of being old
69. The text tells us that______.
A. if you are willing to look in the mirror you are getting old
B. everyone can become attractive at any age
C. confidence can make a person look beautiful
D. old people will accept the reality when they are old
70. The writer wrote this passage to______.

D. analyze why people like and dislike to look in the mirror

Plants are very important living things. Life could not go on if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air,water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air,water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals.Therefore animals and man need plants in order to live.This is why we find that there are so many plants around us.
If you look carefully at the plants around you,you will find that there are two kinds of plants:flowering plants and non-flowering plants.
Flowering plants can make seeds(種子). The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four, and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit. Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores(胚芽). Spores are very small. Some spores are so small and light that they can float in the air. We may say that spores are quite the same as seeds. When these spores are all on wet and shady places, they usually grow into new plants.

A. plants are important for life             B. plants cannot grow without air
