2.Eva Houston became a member of Westside High School's marching band when she entered her freshman year in the fall,but after sitting on the sidelines (邊線) during the first two games of the season,she came home and told her parents that she wanted to get more involved.
The 14-year-old,who has played the trumpet (小號) since 5th grade,has cerebral palsy (大腦性麻痹) and uses a wheelchair,which makes it impossible to march like her bandmates.

Kevin realized how much it meant to Eva after he joined her in doing the practice.She turned to him and said happily,"That was so much fun!"
One of his favorite parts about the experience is that he now knows all of her friends and their personalities.
"When she says Megan did this,I can now actually picture Megan doing that,"Kevin said."You drop your kids off at school and you don't get to experience their day with them,so I'm very grateful to be part of her life."

12.What is the nature of the scientific attitude,the attitude of the man or woman who studies and applies physics,biology,chemistry,geology,engineering,medicine or any other science?
    We all know that science plays an important role in our societies.However,many people believe that our progress depends on two different aspects of science.The first aspect is the application of the machines,products and systems of knowledge that scientists and technologists develop.The second is the application of the special methods of thought and action that scientists use in their work.
    What are these special methods of thinking and acting?First of all,it seems that a successful scientist is curious-he wants to find out how and why the universe works.He usually pays attention to problems which he notices have no satisfying explanation,and looks for relationships even if the data available seem to be unconnected.Moreover,he thinks he can improve the existing conditions and enjoys trying to solve the problems which this involves.
    He is a good observer,accurate,patient and objective and uses the facts he observes to the fullest.For example,trained observers obtain a very large amount of information about a star mainly from the accurate analysis of the simple lines that appear in a spectrum(光譜).
    He does not accept statements which are not based on the most complete evidence available.He rejects authority as the only basis for truth.Scientists always check statements and make experiments carefully and objectively.
    Furthermore,he does not readily accept his own idea,since he knows that man is the least reliable of scientific instruments and that a number of factors tend to disturb objective investigation.
    Lastly,he is full of imagination since he often has to look for relationships in data which are not only complex but also frequently incomplete.Furthermore,he needs imagination if he wants to guess how processes work and how events take place.
    These seem to be some of the ways in which a successful scientist or technologist thinks and acts.

66.Many people believe that science helps society to progress throughB.
A.knowledge only                        B.more than one aspect

B.He is interested in problems that are explained.
C.He makes efforts to investigate potential connections.
D.He looks for new ways of acting.
68.According to the passage,a successful scientist would NOTA.
A.easily believe in unchecked statements      
B.easily criticize others'research work
C.a(chǎn)lways use his imagination in work  
D.a(chǎn)lways use evidence from observation
69.What is the author's attitude towards the topic?B
A.Critical.B.Objective.C.Unclear.D.Prejudiced.
70.What does the passage mainly discuss?C
A.Application of technology.
B.Progress in modem society.

10.After more than a year of bitter political debate,President Obama sat down in the White House East Room on March 23and signed the 2010Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act into law with a pen,and then another pen,and another.Obama used 22pens to sign the﹩938billion health care bill.
The practice of using different pens to sign important legislation(法規(guī))dates at least as far back as Franklin Roosevelt.The reason is fairly simple.The pen used to sign historic legislation itself becomes a historical artifact.The more pens a President uses,the more thank-you gifts he can offer to those who helped create that piece of history.The White House often give pens to supporters of the newly signed legislation.When Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act in 1964,he reportedly used more than 75pens and gave one of the first ones to Martin Luther King Jr.And in 1996,President Clinton gave the four pens he used to sign the Line-Item Veto bill to those most likely to appreciate the bill's consequence.
Once they're given away,some pens end up in museums; others are displayed proudly in recipients'(接受者) offices or homes.But they sometimes appear again,like in the 2008presidential campaign(競選活動),when John Macain promised to use the same pen given to him by President Reagan to cut pork from the federal budget.
Not every President goes for the multipen signature,however.President George W.Bush preferred signing bills with only one pen and then offering several unused"gift"pens as souvenirs.

41.We can learn from paragraph 1that the 2010Patient Protection and Affordable Care ActC.
A.has been passed easily
B.was put forward one year ago
C.becomes law in the USA
D.is unimportant
42.How are the pens dealt with after being used by President Obama?A
A.Supporters of the newly signed legislation are likely to get some of them.
B.Obama will keep them.
C.They will be just set aside
D.They will be sold to the public at a high price.
43.What can we learn about John Macain?B
A.He was ever President in the USA.
B.He took part in the 2008presidential campaign.
C.He never used the pen given by Reagan.
D.He was only concerned about his own business.
44.What does this passage mainly tell us?B
A.Obama signed the 2010Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
B.It is a practice to use multiple pens to sign important legislation in the USA.
C.Pens are necessary in the signature.
D.All the presidents like the multipen signature.

The drunken thief who pretended he was Superman to stop a child raising the alarm has been caught after he leapt from the apartment building in his pants to make the girl convinced.
Thief Ethan Adamson,25,told police that he had broken into a fifth-floor flat after a drinking party,believing it was empty.
But he was horrified when the owner's 10-year-old daughter woke up while he was there.

Police later found him on the roof in just his yellow pants,covered in cuts and bruises(淤青) after a neighbor heard his cries of pain.
He now faces seven years behind bars for burglary.
Police spokesman Frank Armado said,"He was in quite a serious state and couldn't move until we got up there using ladders.He was treated for his injuries and we got him some fresh clothes,before taking him to hospital where he is being kept under guard until he is well enough to be arrested."

12.How to Be Happy in Your Life
Newborn babies are the happiest in the world.Unfortunately,as we grow up,worries start working up their way upon our minds.(61)C However,we can achieve happiness again with just some small changes.
Make a choice.Happiness is a matter of choice.A person who knows how to be happy will always be happy,no matter what situation we put him into.On the other hand,a person who always finds faults with everyone and everything around him cannot be happy,no matter how hard he tries.
Laugh a lot.When we smile or laugh,the muscles in our face excite the brain to produce"happy chemicals".These chemicals make us feel happy.(62)D Laugh at ourselves,laugh at our problems,laugh at our little worries and then see what difference it makes to our life.
(63)A Being angry with others at their mistakes will earn us nothing.Instead it will make us even more unhappy.Just letting go of others'mistakes every once in a while helps us to be happy.
Live out of the past.Often,the dark shadows from our past ruin every single second of our life and turn it into a bad memory.(64)G
Learn to give.Giving is a satisfying experience and the joy of giving cannot be expressed in words.One who gives all his life ends up leading a happier life than the one who concentrates only on receiving.
One must understand that happiness is a state of mind.(65)FThus,the answer to the question"how to be happy in life"only lies within us.

A.Forget others'mistakes.
B.Sounds silly,but it does work.
C.Finally,we forget what happiness is.
D.So,find humor in everything around us.
E.Start with little things and work up to bigger ones.
F.Nothing in the world can make us happy or unhappy,unless we allow it.
G.Let go of all bad memories preventing us from leading a happy life at present.
