15.Most of my friends are moving outside the city..to avoid the noise,smog,traffic,and crime of the city.
One friend says,"The air is heavily polluted in the city,so I prefer to live outside,where the air is clean."
Another friend is unpleased with the traffic,"Downtown is crowded with cars!You can't find a parking place,and the traffic jams are terrible."Everyone is worried about crime,"The city is full of criminals-it's too dangerous."
For them,the rural(鄉(xiāng)村的) life is a cure for all problems,green grass,flowers,swimming pools,barbecues,and so on.Yet after they have lived there for a year or so,they realize that rural life is not so pleasant as they were expecting.Why?Their gardens!They soon learn that the main part of rural life is yard work.After they work all weekend in their gardens,they're too tired to swim in their pools or cook some meat on their barbecues.And they can't live in the countryside without a car.Most of them moved to the countryside to avoid traffic,but now they're blocked on a busy freeway two hours every day to drive to work downtown.
My opinions about urban life are different-I love to live downtown!Why?First,in the city,I can enjoy nature.I can walk through the park.smell.the flowers,sit on the grass and visit the animals in the zoo.Yet I don't have to do yard work or feed the animals.Also,I can get everywhere by bus; if there is a traffic jam,I can walk home.I think the criminal life will reflect changes in society too; if people are buying homes outside the city,the criminals will soon follow.Criminals want to avoid noise,smog,and pollution,too.Then,overcrowding and crime will be problems of the suburbs instead of the city!
21.The first paragraph is used  to _C..
A.list some figures     
B.make comparisons       
C.lead to the topic.

12.How Can I Fight Laziness?
Lazy people will never gain anything in life.However,laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.
(36)C Many people lack sleep constantly,since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work.These people have little motivation once they arrive home.Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things.By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest,you can fight laziness throughout the day.
Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active.Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task.Others take a more positive approach,vewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone.(37)F
Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations(誘惑) that surround them.A television in the living room may provide entertainment,but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness.(38)G Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy,such as a good dinner or a film.
Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home.Couples and children may all have different energy levels,but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately.(39)A Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal.Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task.It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people.
(40)DEnough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle,thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.
A.To fight family laziness,set an example.
B.Knowing how to fight laziness is important.
C.One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.
D.Finally,taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.
E.With strong determination,you will be able to achieve your goal.
F.Laziness appears when you no longer feel in charge of your own mind.
G.Create a reward system for yourself,just as parents do for a child.

9.Some people bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have fully realized on your own.My mom was one of those people.
My father died when I was nine months old,making my mom a single mother at the age of eighteen.While I was growing up,we lived a very hard life.We had little money,but my mom gave me a lot of love.Each night,she sat me on her lap and spoke the words that would change my life,"Kemmons,you are certain to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it."
At fourteen,I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never walk again.Every day,my mother spoke to me in her gentle,loving voice,telling me that no matter what those doctors said,I could walk again if I wanted to badly enough.She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her.A year later,I returned to school-walking on my own!
When the Great Depression (大蕭條) hit,my mom lost her job.Then I left school to support the both of us.At that moment,I was determined never to be poor again.
Over the years,I experienced various levels of business success.But the real turning point occurred on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951.I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels available for families and was angry that they charged an extra﹩2 for each child.That was too expensive for the average American family.I told my wife that I was going to open a motel (汽車旅館) for families that would never charge extra for children.There were plenty of doubters at that time.
Not surprisingly,mom was one of my strongest supporters.She worked behind the desk and even designed the room style.As in any business,we experienced a lot of challenges.But with my mother's words deeply rooted in my soul,I never doubted we would succeed.Fifteen years later,we had the largest hotel system in the world-Holiday Inn.In 1979 my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income of﹩1 billion a year.
You may not have started out life in the best situation.But if you can find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself,nothing can stop you.

41.What Kemmons'mom often told him during his childhood wasC.
A.caring             B.moving          
C.encouraging        D.interesting
42.According to the author,who played the most important role in making him walk back to school again?D

C.Friends.      D.Mom.
43.What caused Kemmons to start a motel by himself?A
A.His terrible experience in the hotel.
B.His previous business success of various levels.
C.His mom's support.
D.His wife's suggestion.
44.Which of the following best describes Kemmons'mother?B
A.Modest,helpful,and hard-working.
B.Loving,supportive and strong-willed.
C.Careful,helpful and beautiful.
D.Strict,sensitive and supportive.
45.Which of the following led to Kemmons'success according to the passage?B
A.Self-confidence,hard work,higher education and a poor family.
B.Mom's encouragement,clear goals,self-confidence and hard work.

16.I'd planned to spend my weekend in the sun,potting flowers outdoors.But that was before the pair of crows (烏鴉).Out of nowhere,they had set up their base camp in our backyard.
We first discovered our feathered enemies on Friday morning.It was early,and the sound the birds made traveled through our neighborhood.I figured they'd go away soon.But,no.They were getting louder and probably annoying my neighbors nearly as much as us with the noise.I admit I got a little desperate.
Then,on Sunday afternoon,I looked out the kitchen window to see our dog Quatchi staring at something on the ground.I went to explore and found a small coal-black bird in the grass.Its eyes were milky,and it stayed perfectly still as my dog walked towards it.Only when Quatchi touched his nose to its head did it walk away.I grabbed the dog and locked him inside and came back with my camera.
It never occurred to me that the young would be hanging out on the ground,growing and gaining strength as its parents guarded it from above.The second I saw this little creature I forgave the crows.
To be honest,I've never been much of a bird person.I also have a healthy respect for birds.They're basically living dinosaurs.
I wish they'd chosen another backyard.There are only so many sunny days in Seattle,and I still can't do any gardening out there.But I'm also grateful that I got to see this little bit of nature unfold up close.It's pretty amazing.
The experience has also strengthened my desire to create a beautiful backyard garden that attracts lots of bees,butterflies,and yes,birds.They are welcome here.

32.The arrival of the two crowsC.
A.a(chǎn)ngered the author's neighbors
B.frightened the author's dog
C.disturbed the author's life
D.damaged the author's backyard
33.Why did the author lock her dog up?B
A.She wanted to take some photos.
B.She wanted to protect the little bird.
C.The dog kept making loud noises.
D.The parent crows were to attack the dog.
34.After seeing the little crow,the authorD.
A.decided to help look after it
B.planned to drive the crows away
C.fell in love with the pair of crows
D.was curious to know its growing process
35.The author writes the text mainly toB.
A.show an annoying situation
B.share a personal experience
C.call on readers to protect birds
D.seek advice on dealing with crows.
