Every time an election rolls around，people want to know what each candidate’s stance(立場(chǎng))is on the issue that are important to them．In deciding which candidate 1 want to vote for, there are two main issues for me：the economy and education．
These issues are important to me because they affect me the most right now．The economy affects everyone，and education is important because t am about to enter college． When I looked at how each candidate views these issues，one man stood out to me，and that is Demoeratic candidate Barack Obama．
I like a11 of Senator Obama’s ideas for improving the economy．He wants to bring the troops home from Iraq，thereby saving the $12 billion we spend there every month．Anotller point that Obama makes is that the United States’current energy policy is hurting the econmny.He believes thal if new energy bills are passed，it will help tile U．S．  get out of its currenr economic slump，and I agree．With these ideas and strategies，I slrongly believe that Obama can improve the current state of the economy．
Obama also has a plan to improve education．He believes that we need to start educating children at a young age．He also hopes to close the gap of achievement between students,which means improving schools that need help．He wants to pay teachers more and treat them like professionals，but in exchange he calls for higher responsibility．
Obama also has a plan to make college more affordable．He wants public colleges to be free for students who maintain a”B”average during high school．And he plans to give a $4，000 tax credit for college and university students who complete 100 hours of community service each year·I belleve these ideas to improve education are good enough and will help many students．
Therefore，there is no longer any doubt in my mind who will be receiving my vote：Barack Obama．
66．According to the passage，if a candidate wants to win the election he must        
A．care more about the education in the U．S．
B．issue plans trying to satisfy everyone
C．make college more affordable
D．narrow the gap of achievement between students

I’d been 16 for six days and was already prepared to deal with failure. I remember when my mum   36  me up that morning, her voice wasn’t as   37  as it usually was.
I stayed in bed for a few minutes. I was   38  to leave its warmth and comfort, and didn’t want to face the problem that I’d let myself   39  for the past six months. Finally, I dragged myself out of    40 .

I went into a room for some paperwork. And I waited for 20 minutes—just   46  time to make myself believe that I was going to fail. Then, finally, it was my   47 . I just wanted to get it over and make sure that I had to come back next Thursday.

The first thing I had to do was parking, which I did quite   50 . The confidence that came with it hit me like a wave. The rest of the test went well too and I   51  it all. As I drove back, the instructor told me I would not be coming back for a second   52  next Thursday.
Back in the building I didn’t have to say a word. My mum knew just by looking at me. Her    53  made her face softer. And I’m sure it was at least as big as the smile on my face. Her eyes, 54 , looked kind of teary. I knew she was   55  for me.

　　As the proverb says,“No one knows the value of health until he loses it.”In other words, nothing is more valuable than health.
　　It is clear that health is the foundation(基礎(chǔ)) of one's future success. If you become sick, it is scarcely possible to pursue(從事) your career effectively, much less make your dreams come true. On the other hand, if you are strong, you can go all out to overcome the obstacles(障礙) that lie ahead of you.
　　Health is the resource of our energy. What should we do to maintain(保持) our health? First we should exercise every day to strengthen our muscles. Second, we might as well keep good hours. If we get up early, we can breathe fresh air and see the sunrise. This habit can do wonders for our outlook on life. Third, there is a proverb that says,“Prevention is better than cure.”If you pay close attention to your health, you can avoid getting sick, or at least cure yourself of a disease while it is still in its beginning stage.
　　In conclusion, health is more important than wealth. Those who are rich but poor in health are no more fortunate than those who are poor, and healthy in body. If you want your wish to come true, health is the most important component(組成部分) of your success.
　　57.A man knows the value of health _____.
　A.till he loses　B.before he loses it C.after he loses it　D.when he doesn't lose it
　58.In the second paragraph,“go all out to”means _____.
　A.go yourself outside to　B.try very hard to C.go with your friends to　D.save your energy to
　59.In the third paragraph, the topic sentence is _____.
　　A.Health is the resource of our energy  B.Prevention is better than cure
　　C.We might as well keep good hours  D.This habit can do wonders for our outlook on life

　　A.Those who are rich but poor in health are less fortunate than those who are poor, and healthy in body.
　　B.Those who are rich but poor in health are as fortunate as those who are poor, and healthy in body.
　　C.Those who are rich but poor in health are not more fortunate than those who are poor, and healthy in body.

One day the employees of a large company in St Louis, Missouri returned from their lunch break and were greeted with a sign on the front door. The sign said: "Yesterday the person who has been hindering ((阻礙) your growth in this company passed away. We invite you to join the funeral (葬禮) in the room that has been prepared in the gym."
At first everyone was sad to hear that one of their colleagues had died, but after a while they started getting curious about who this person might be.
The excitement grew as the employees arrived at the gym to pay their last respects. Everyone wondered: "Who is this person that was hindering my progress? Well, at least he's no longer here."
One by one the employees got closer to the coffin (棺材) and when they looked inside it they became speechless. They stood over the coffin, shocked and in silence, as if someone had touched the deepest part of their soul.
There was a mirror inside the coffin: Everyone who looked inside it could see himself. There was also a sign next to the mirror that said: "There is only one person who can set limits to your growth: it is YOU."
You are the only person who can revolutionize (徹底改變) your life. You are the only person who can influence your happiness, your realization and your success. You are the only person who can help yourself.
Your life does not change when your family changes, when your friends change, when your boss changes, and when your company changes.
Your life changes when YOU change, when you go beyond your limiting beliefs, when you realize that you are the only one responsible for your life.

In 1955, a man named Raymond Kroc entered a partnership with two brothers named McDonald. They opened a popular restaurant in California which sold food that was easy to prepare and serve quickly. Hamburgers, French fries, and cold drinks were the main food there. Kroc opened similar eating places under the same name, “McDonald’s”, and they were an instant success. He later took over the company, and today it is one of the most famous and successful “fast-food” in America and round the world.  
Why was his idea successful? Probably the most important reason was that his timing was right. In the 1950s, most married women stayed home to keep house and take care of their children. In the 1960s, many women returned to the workplace. This meant that they had less time or energy to prepare meals, so they spent more on “ TV dinners ” and fast-food restaurants. Single parents also have little time to spend in the kitchen. People living alone also depend on this type of food, since cooking for one is often more trouble than it is worth.
Fast-food is not part of the diet of all Americans. Another trend of the 1960s, sometimes called the back-to-nature movement influenced many people to avoid food that was packaged or processed(處理). This preference for natural food continued to this day.
From the success of Raymond Kroc’s fast-food business, we can say that social economic trends influence where and what we eat.
小題1:The underlined sentence “Cooking for one is often more trouble than it is worth” means that ______.
A．cooking for some people is worth more money
B．it is not worthwhile to take too much time to cook for one person
C．there are more problems when one person cooks
D．divorce (離婚) causes people to change their eating habits
小題2:An idea implied but not directly stated in the reading is that ________.
A．many married women began to work in the 1960s
B．natural foods are still popular today
C．fast food is not part of the diet of all Americans
D．divorce causes people to change their eating habits
小題3:McDonald’s success lies in the following causes BUT_________.
A．people living alone tend to depend on fast food
B．single parents have little time to spend in the kitchen
C．many women returned to the workplace in the 1960s
D．Kroc chose the “Mc Donald” brothers as his partners
小題4:The main idea of the reading is that ________.
A．Raymond Kroc is the most successful fast-food business owner in the world
B．social and economic changes affect eating habits
C．fast-food is easy to prepare and serve quickly
D．Americans eat either fast food or natural food

A child-like robot, Wakamaru, developed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries of Japan and combining the roles of nurse, companion and security guard, will soon be in the market to look after the growing number of old people with no one to look after them.
Cameras implanted under the “ eyebrows” of the robot enable it to “see’’ as it moves around in a house. The images can be sent to the latest mobile telephones, which can show the pictures. Wakamaru speaks with either the voice of a boy or a girl. It is also designed to provide companionship, greeting its “ papa”, when he comes home. Based on a vocabulary of around 10 000 words, it is the first household robot which is able to hold simple conversations. It can not only speak, but also understand answers and react accordingly. It will ask“ Are you all right?” if its owner does not move for some time. If the answer is no, or there is no answer, it will telephone preset numbers, send images and work as a speakerphone. It can recognize up to 10 faces. It can be set to remind forgetful people when it is time to take medicine, eat and sleep.
However, like most robots, it cannot climb stairs. Mitsubishi developed Wakamaru from robots which have already been made to go around nuclear power facilities(設(shè)施). “ Looking at the ageing of society and the falling birth rate we decided that this could work as a business. We want to offer it as a product that helps society,’’ said the project chief. The developers plan to sell the robot from April next year at between 5,000 and 6,000 pound.
The life expectancy of Japanese women has shot up to almost 85, the highest in the world. At the same time, extended families are being replaced by nuclear families. This has left many Japanese anxious about their elderly parents. Therefore, the technology has gained nation-wide publicity in Japan.
68.Which of the following is TRUE about Wakamaru?
A.    It is used in some nuclear power facilities.
B.     It can speak but cannot understand answers.
C.     It can go up and down the stairs easily.
D.    It can recognize as many as 10 people.
69.The passage is written with the purpose to ______.
A. introduce a new product  
B solve the aging problems.
C. tell people how to use the robot 
D show the rapid development of technology
70. What can be inferred from the passage ?
A. The robot can dial proper numbers for help
B. The robot is likely to have a promising market.
C. The robot enables the Japanese to live longer
D. Many elderly Japanese are anxious about their future

Compared to the whole development of history, your life could be like a candle which is lit and then blown out immediately. In other words, life is short —very short. Missing any of the joys life offers is terrible.
So don’t let fears conquer your short and valuable life. If your life is being controlled by your fears, you are most certainly cheating yourself. Courage is the mental (精神上的) muscle that conquers fear. Like all muscles, the more you use it, the stronger it will become. Courage is not something you are born with. That is to say, it must be developed. It has been said that if you face the thing you fear bravely, your fear will leave you.
For years I believed that courageous people had no fear. I was wrong. Eddie Richen Bacher put it very well when he said, "There is no courage without fear." We all have fears; however, not everyone gives in to their fears easily.
There is, very likely, something you have wanted to do for years —move to another city, start your own business, apply for a better position, or go wherever you like. Whatever it is, you should do it. Remember, life is not a practice run. This is it. A little courage leads to more.
Observe those poor people who have no courage. They only tiptoe (躡手躡腳地走) through life, hoping they can make it safely to death. You and I never meant to live that way. Learn to live the way you like by no longer living as you dislike. Make good use of your day and have courage. That’s life!
64. We can learn from the passage that courage _______.
A. can be developed quickly                 B. needs to be used more often
C. is formed when one is born                D. makes one very excited
65. What new opinion did the author develop?
A. All courageous people have fears.           B. Those who are brave have no fear.
C. There is no fear without courage.           D. A brave person can live a safe life.
66. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. A Person’s Life Is Short                   B. Don’t Fear Anything
C. Never Give Up Easily                    D. Courage Conquers Fear
