17．When it comes to President Obama，most of his personal business is already known by the public．Personal information about his children，Malia and Sasha，however，has been kept a little more under wraps．
The New York Times recently released a list of rules that Michelle Obama has mentioned over the years that Malia and Sasha must follow during their time in the White House，as well as in general．See how the first family educates their children：
The girls must write reports about what they've seen on their trips，even if it's not required by their school．
Malia may use her cell phone only on the weekends，and she and her sister cannot watch television or use a computer for anything but homework during the week．
Malia and Sasha have to play two sports：one they choose and one selected by their mother．
Malia must learn to do laundry（洗衣服） before she leaves for college．
The girls have to eat their vegetables，and if they say they are not hungry，they cannot ask for cookies or chips later．
While these might be shocking to some，Michelle said，"They're not little princess．It's just basic rules，boundaries，and expectations that we would have normally．"
Michelle also mentions another set of rules：
The girls must do their chores（家務(wù)），though the White House has a large staff．Malia and Sasha have chores of their own．
They must play a team sport，because it's about learning how to play on a team，how to lose and how to win gracefully．
…
It sounds like Michelle and Barack want the best for their kids and to make them as well-rounded as possible．What are your thoughts on the Obama family rules？

分析 本文講述了奧巴馬夫婦對他們的女兒Malia and Sasha設(shè)立的一系列的教育的規(guī)則．如：每次旅行以后都要寫一個報告，不能隨意使用手機，要選擇兩項運動，必須做家務(wù)，要吃青菜等，這些規(guī)則在白宮以外也是要遵守的．

解答 41．B 主旨大意題．根據(jù)文章第二段The New York Times recently released a list of rules that Michelle Obamahas mentioned over the years that Malia and Sasha must follow during their timein the White House，as well as in general．See how the first family educates theirchildren：可知，本文是關(guān)于奧巴馬教育孩子方面的規(guī)則，故B正確．
42．C 推理判斷題．根據(jù)文章第一段most of his personal business is already known by the public．Personal information about his children，Malia and Sasha，however，has been kept a little more under wraps．可知，雖然奧巴馬的很多事情都已經(jīng)為人所知，但是他的孩子的信息我們所知很少，都是處于一個保密的狀態(tài)．故C正確．
43．D 細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章第三段The girls must write reports about what they've seen on their trips，even if it's not required by their school．可知，每次旅行以后都要寫一個報告，這是奧巴馬的要求，故D正確．
44．A 細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第三段第一行Malia may use her cell phone only on the weekends可知，A項是例外，孩子不能隨意地使用電話，其余三項都是允許的．故A正確．
45．A 細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章第二段The New York Times recently released a list of rules that Michelle Obamahas mentioned over the years that Malia and Sasha must follow during their timein the White House，as well as in general．可知，這些規(guī)則在白宮以外也是要遵守的，故A正確．

7．Want to know who is the world's tallest person，who has the highest IQ，who collects the most toys or who ate the largest hamburger in the shortest amount of time？Then look no further than the Guinness Book of World Records．
As a compiler （匯編）of amazing，funny and shocking feats and achievements，Guinness is in a class of its own．And some people believe that making it into the book is an achievement worth any risk．
With its 2014version coming out on Sept 12，many daredevils （蠻勇的人）are getting ready to raise the stakes．
Susanne Eman is one of them．The 34-year-old American has made it her goal to break the record for"World's Heaviest Woman"，currently set at 643pounds （291.7kg）．
To many observers，though，winning a mention in a book might pale in comparison to the health risks associated with being so heavy．
So what drives people to put their lives on the line for a mention in a book and a certificate？
Los Angeles-based psychotherapist Nancy Irwin told The Huffington Post she believes people who want to set records often do so to fill a blank in other aspects of their lives．
"In a case like this，there is a sense of narcissism （自戀）that suggests she's desperate for attention and wants to stand out，"Irwin said．"You have to understand that there is a positive intention behind every activity，even if it has a negative outcome．"
However，Ashrita Furman，who holds the highest total number of Guinness World Records，including the highest mountain climbed on stilts （高曉），thinks challenges to break limitations and be the best in the world should be an inspiring thing to do．And he doesn't support Eman．"I don't get her--it's not healthy．I think Guinness should highly disapprove of a record like that，"the 59-year-old American told The Huffington Post．
A Guinness representative released a statement claiming that the organization's policy isn't to support or celebrate"achievements"like Eman's，but simply to document the extremes that exist in the world．

67．The underlined phrase"raise the stakes"in the third paragraph probably meansB．
A．show off their unique skills
B．increase the risks involved
C．make smart preparations for something
D．spend more money on something
68．With the example of Eman，the author intends toD．
A．introduce who is the"World's Heaviest Woman"
B．criticize the 2014version of the Guinness Book of World Records
C．explain what efforts Eman has made to break the world record
D．show a negative goal that someone set to achieve a Guinness World Record
69．According to Nancy Irwin，some risk their lives to compete for a mention in Guinness becauseA．
A．they desire attention
B．they seek fame and fortune
C．they wish to challenge themselves and live a meaningful life
D．they want to prove and celebrate their uniqueness
70．Which of the following statements about Guinness might Ashrita Furman agree with，according to the text？C
A．Those who try to set a world record at the risk of their lives deserve a reward．
B．Eman's achievements are absolutely worth a mention in the Guinness book．
C．Not all kinds of world records should be collected in the Guinness book．
D．The organization should improve its policies to celebrate a greater variety of achievements．

8．Being less than perfectly well-dressed in a business setting can result in a feeling of great discomfort that may well require treatment to eliminate．And the sad truth is that"clothing mismatches"on the job can ruin the day of the person who is wearing the inappropriate attire（著裝）-and the people with whom he or she comes in contact．
Offices vary when it comes to dress codes．Some businesses have very high standards for their employees and set strict guidelines for office attire，while others maintain a more relaxed attitude．However，it is always important to remember that no matter what your company's attitude is regarding what you wear，you are working in a business environment and you should dress properly．Certain items may be more appropriate for evening wear than for a business meeting，just as shorts and a T-shirt are better suited for the beach than for an office environment．Your attire should reflect both your environment and your position．A senior vice president has a different image to maintain than that of a secretary or sales assistant．Like it or not，you will be judged by your personal appearance．
This is never more apparent than on"dress-down days"，when what you wear can say more about you than any business suit ever could．In fact，people will pay more attention to what you wear on dress-down days than on"business professional"days．Thus，when dressing in"business casual"clothes，try to put some good taste into your wardrobe choices，recognize that the"real"definition of business casual is to dress just one notch（等級） down from what you would normally wear of business-professional attire days．
Remember，there are borders between your career and our social life．You should dress one way for play and another way when you mean business．Always ask yourself where you are going and how other people will be dressed when you get there．Is the final destination the opera，the beach，or the office？Dress properly and you will discover the truth in the principle that clothes make the man-and the woman．When in doubt，always misjudge on the side of dressing slightly more traditionally than the situation demands．

72．What is the passage mainly about？A
A．How to dress properly in a business setting．
B．A president of a company should dress differently from a secretary or sales assistant．
C．The differences between professional and casual dress．
D．Improper dress will make a person feel uncomfortable．
73．Which of the following statements is true？C
A．Every company has strict rules regarding office dress．
B．You can wear whatever you like if your company doesn't have high standards for dressing．
C．You should dress according to the business setting even when there are no fixed rules．
D．In companies with relaxed rules on office dress，you can't spot a manager among others．
74．Which statement best describes"dress-down days"？D
A．On dress-down days，you can wear whatever you like．
B．People's clothes on dress-down days don't receive much attention．
C．We can't judge a person's taste by his clothes on dress-down days．
D．People are usually more careful about what they wear on dress-down days than on other occasions．
75．Which of the following is NOT the rule offered in the passage with regard to business dress？A
A．Remember to ask others for advice when you are not sure about what to dress．
B．Think about how other guests will wear if you are invited to a dinner．
C．For a business meeting and a concert，you should dress differently．
D．Dress a bit traditionally if you are not sure about proper dress for a certain occasion．

12．Most tourist destinations around China are witnessing travel peaks during the eight-day Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays that run through Sunday．In Beijing，the Palace Museum，or the Forbidden City，attracted 182，000 tourists on Tuesday，the biggest number on a single day，as millions of visitors arrived in the national capital．"We saw absolutely nothing but people's heads，''said Guo Zhijun，42，of Henan province．"We wanted our 11-year-old son to learn something from the trip，but we only ended up very tired．"
    Earlier，from Sunday noon to midday Monday，garbage collected at Tian'anmen Square in the heart of the city amounted to 7.9 tons，a quarter more than that in the same period of last year．
    In the eastern coastal city of Qingdao，its top five major tourist sites attracted more than 200，000 visitors on Tuesday．
    Yesterday，thousands of cars jammed two 20-kilometer mountain roads winding to and out of the Lushan Mountain scenic area in the eastern province of Jiangxi．The area，with about 3，000 car parking spaces，was unable to contain at least 8，000 inbound cars，said head of the Lushan Mountain public security bureau．
    The Lushan Mountain tourism administration temporarily stopped selling entrance tickets to prevent the traffic from growing on Tuesday afternoon．Similar measures could be taken during the rest of the holidays，a police officer said．

    Chen Li，deputy director of the Shaanxi Provincial Public Security Department，said on his micro blog that more than 300 policemen and government officials climbed up the mountain to help trapped visitors．Fearing that tourist sites might become too crowded，many people are staying at home，going shopping or making short suburban trips．A resident Mr．Wang in Nanchang，capital of Jiangxi，canceled long-distance travel plans after learning of heavy traffic on many highways during the first two days of the holidays．Instead，Wang，his wife and son went fishing in the suburbs before having a picnic．

2．In this age of cell phones，text messages and computer keyboards，one Scottish school has returned to basics．It's teaching youngsters the ignored art of writing with a fountain pen．There is no clicking of keyboards in most classrooms at the Mary Erskine and Stewart's Melville Junior School，although there is a full range of facilities （設(shè)施）for computer lessons and technology isn't being ignored．The private school's headmaster believes the old-fashioned pens have helped strengthen the academic （學(xué)術(shù)的） performance and self-esteem （自尊）of his 1，200pupils．
"The pens improve the quality of work because they force the children to take care，and better work improves self-esteem"，headmaster Bryan Lewis said．"Proper handwriting is as relevant today as it ever has been．"Students as young as 7have been instructed to give up their ball point pens and begin to deal with its more artful  predecessor．By the time they reach grade five，at age 9，they are expected to write mainly with fountain pens．Lewis said the school's 7-and 8-year-olds use fountain pens for 80percent to 90percent of their work，returning to pencils for such subjects as math．"I don't see fountain pens as old-fashioned or out of date．Modern fountain pens are beautiful to use？it's not like in the old days of broken metal points and dirtying writing paper，"Lewis said．"We have a particular writing style and we have developed it very carefully and found a way that allows left-and right-handed people to write without dirtying paper．"
Some people in wealthy nations argue that handwriting is becoming less important because of the growing use of cell phone text messaging and typing on computers，but the school disagrees．"We talk of the paperless office and the paperless world，but this is not true，"Lewis said．"You still need to have proper handwriting skills．"

6．She stared in the mirror．She was not seeing the reflection that looked back at her because she was lost in memories．In a second she was back．The reflection in the mirror confused her．She thought it was her mother looking back at her．But as reality sank in，she realized that it was her own reflection．
Gone was her beauty spot （美人痣） and in its place she saw a mole （痣）．Gone were the dimples （酒窩） that once appeared on her cheeks．Where had they gone，she thought to herself？When did those wrinkles appear on her face and where did they come from？
So caught up in life's daily chores（雜務(wù)），she had not noticed that time had passed，until today when she happened to stop and really look into the mirror．She was no longer a bright-eyed 20year old so full of hope．

In the past she had constantly worried about what people thought of her，but finally，after years of trying to live up to others'expectations，she saw beauty，real beauty．
"You are beautiful，"she whispered at the mirror and this time she meant it．She really，really meant it．
