I have studied in the boarding school in UK for about two years, and I really like it very much.
I always wanted to run a business of some sort; and finally I got such a good chance to do
so at the beginning of the summer term. The business project is called Young Enterprise, where we set up a small company called “Limitless” and sold the products to the school and public. I was appointed deputy director and financial director of the company, in which my role was to manage the financial activities.
I have learn so much from this experience, for I could put what I has learnt into practice in a real life and learn to work with different people, which improved my skills in management and communication.
In this school we students can organize out own activities if we want to, and the school is usually highly supportive: so this term I have organized an Engineering Society in school, which arranges regular visits to local industries. So far, the society which has only 10 members has proved to be really “popular”. Well, it is always the quality, not the quantity, that matters, isn’t it?
I have had many opportunities to challenge myself since I got to the school, and I do think it is all of these challenges that make me more and more mature. Perhaps one of the most important lessons I have learned in this school is to have the initiative (主動) to look for any possible challenges.
63. Why does the writer like this boarding school so much?
A. Because he has learned there for about two years.
B. Because he ran a business of his own.
C. Because he has many opportunities to look for any possible challenges initiatively.
D. Because he was promoted to be deputy director and financial director of the company.
64. What’s the writer’s duty in the small company called “Limitless”?
A. To be in charge of the finance of the business.
B. To put what he has learned into practice.
C. To work with people from different backgrounds.
D. To find out how the consumers bought their products.
65. He has learnt a lot about _______ from the experience of running a small company.
A. what the teacher don’t know    B. what can’t be learned from books
C. financial knowledge           D. management and communication skills
66. From the passage, we know that ________.
A. the school usually supports the students activities
B. all of the students’ activities are supported by the school.
C. the school usually organize the students’ activities directly
D. the writer is not the organizer of the Engineering Society in the school

Going to the beach is many American’s favorite activity. They went swimming in the ocean without giving a thought to what was underwater. But those days are long gone. In the summer of 1988, many of the beaches had to be closed because garbage（廢料）from hospitals was found in the water. The garbage included glass bottles with samples of blood, and people were afraid they might get AIDS from the blood. At some beaches, sewage（下水道）was found in the water. Americans were shocked by this state of affairs. People didn’t think of the underwater garbage because it was out of sight.
Some of the most polluted waters still look beautiful. San Francisco Bay is a good example of a beautiful bay that’s full of chemicals. Scientists discovered pollution in some lakes and rivers when they found fish with rotting skin. People are told not to eat too much fish because of pollution. Most American cities put their garbage in the ground. But New York and a few other cities put their garbage in the ocean. Boston Harbor is so polluted that scientists say it won’t recover until the next century. The government has ordered the city to build a sewage treatment plant, Cleaning up oceans won’t be easy, but people can no longer ignore（忽視）this challenge.

Most drinks stating that they are fruit-flavored （水果味道的） contain no fruit at all, while most of the rest contain only a small quantity of fruit, according to a study carried by the British Food Commission．

Flavorings are focused on the flavors of natural food products such as fruits, meats and vegetables, or creating flavor for food products that do not have the desired flavors．Researchers analyzed the contents of 28 strawberry-flavored products sold in stores．   72   Of the 11 products that did contain strawberries, five of them contained less than one percent real fruit．In addition, each juice box contained nearly eight teaspoons of sugar．

Schools have banned cupcakes, issued fatness report cards and cleared space in cafeterias for salad bars. Just last month, Michelle Obama’s campaign to end childhood fatness promised to get young people moving more and restore school lunch, and drink makers said they had cut the number of liquid calories shipped to schools by almost 90 percent in the past five years.
But new research suggests that interventions(干預) aimed at school-aged children may be, if not too little, too late.
More and more evidence points to essential events very early in life — during the child years, babyhood and even before birth, in the womb(胎) — that can set young children on a fatness path that is hard to change by the time they’re in kindergarten. The evidence is not ironclad, but it suggests that prevention efforts should start very early.
Among the findings are these:
The fat angel-like baby who is growing so nicely may be growing too much for his or her own good, research suggests.
Babies whose mothers smoked during pregnancy are at risk of becoming fat, even though the babies are usually small at birth.
Babies who sleep less than 12 hours are at increased risk for fatness later. If they don’t sleep enough and also watch two hours or more of TV a day, they are at even greater risk.
Some early interventions are already widely practiced. Doctors recommend that overweight women lose weight before pregnancy rather than after, to cut the risk of fatness and diabetes in their children; breast-feeding is also recommended to lower the obesity risk.
Like children and teenagers, babies and toddlers have been getting fatter. One in 10 children under age 2 is overweight. The percentage of children ages 2 to 5 who are fat increased to 12.4 percent in 2006 from 5 percent in 1980. But most prevention programs have avioded intervening at very young ages, partly because the school system offers an efficient way to reach large numbers of children, and partly because the rate of fat teenagers is even higher than that of younger children — 18 percent.
Scientists like Dr. Birch worry about what are called epigenetic changes. The genes taken over from mother and father may be turned on and off and the strength of their effects changed by environmental conditions in early development. Many doctors are concerned about women being fat and unhealthy before pregnancy because the womb is the baby’s first environment.
Experts say change may require abandoning some treasured cultural attitudes. “The idea that a big baby is a healthy baby, and a crying baby is probably a hungry baby who should be fed, are things we really need to rethink,” Dr. Birch said.
61. What is NOT included in Michelle Obama’s campaign?
A. To restore school lunch.
B. To get young people moving more.
C. To issue fatness report cards.
D. To end childhood fatness.
62. Why should fatness prevention efforts start very early?
A. Because children now are growing too much for their own good.
B. Because there is too much liquid calories in drinks for children.
C. Because experiences even when in the womb can affect a child.
D. Because fat children cannot be healthy ones when they grow up.
63. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “ironclad” in paragraph three?
A. right       B. protective       C. objective      D. positive
64. Which of the following is NOT right?
A. 18% of the younger children are fatter than fat teenagers.
B. 10 % of the children under age 2 gain too much weight.
C. 12.4% of the children ages 2-5 were overweight in 2006.
D. In 1980, only 5% of the children ages 2-5 were too fat.
65. What does Dr. Birch’s statement mean in the last paragraph?
A. Feeding the baby when it is crying is not right.
B. Fat babies may not be so healthy as people think.
C. Parents should take responsibility for fat babies.
D. Lovely babies shouldn’t be so fat as people think.

Daniel Brown was just five years old when he climbed into the family car and let it roll away down the road. He was only three when he flooded the kitchen.
His mother, Angela Brown, is in despair. She is very busy looking after her new baby, a little girl called Laura, as well as Daniel. She told us, “Daniel is so full of curiosity.”At that moment, we hear a huge crash and then silence. We go upstairs and find Daniel crawling out of a wardrobe(衣櫥)he has pulled over onto the floors, with a book in his hand.“It’s for you, Mum,” he says and looks up at his mum and smiles. Seven-year-old Daniel has a lovely face. He has golden hair, big brown eyes, and a friendly smile. I have to admit that Daniel doesn’t look like a naughty boy.
Angela told me all about it, “Once I found him as he was about to put Jasper in the washing machine.”Jasper, she explained, is the Browns’dog. “When I asked him why, he said that he thought Jasper was dirty! It’s amazing how one little boy can cause so much trouble. Another time he cut off all the hair of the little girl next door. She was going to attend her sister’s wedding and the neighbors haven’t spoken to us since.
Angela told me about Daniel’s most expensive crime “I was about to do the washing up when the baby started crying. Daniel decided to help and filled the kitchen sink with water. When I came in, the water was already flooding the kitchen and was about to flood the hall. The carpet was ruined and had to be replaced. I hope things will get better as he gets older.”
Amazingly, Daniel is quite well behaved in school. This may be because he is rarely bored. Meanwhile he continues to be the naughtiest little boy in England. Will his baby sister Laura grow up to be the naughtiest little girl?

A. He drove away the family car.       B. He cut off the hair of the girl next door.

A 
History has forgotten the shocking cruelties unleashed on the animals of Britain in centuries past. But their grim legacy remains in the language we speak. The rescued dogs, cats, rabbits and horses who live with so many of us today ultimately owe their survival to British reformers, writes Kathryn Shevelow in For the Love of Animals: The Rise of the Animal Protection Movement. These men and women, she writes, “forced the law for the first time to become responsive to the plight of animals.”
B
Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World By Vicki Myron with Bret Witter Grand Central Publishing 277 pp. $19.99
C 
I once interviewed a little girl who lived in a run-down trailer. Her family faced every kind of economic and social deprivation you can imagine, yet she was bright and cheerful with a cherished plan for her adult years.
“I’m going to have a job that has to do with rescuing animals,” she confided in me.
How many of us there must be – we who dream of saving the animals! That means that, potentially, there’s a huge audience for Benjamin Mee’s real-life animal-rescue story We Bought a Zoo.
D 
"The heartwarming and true story of Wesley, a barn owl, and his human friend and biographer, Stacey O'Brien.  Ms. O'Brien, a biologist, rescued Wesley as an injured owlet,  and this wonderful book reveals insights into owl behavior gained through her 19 years living with Wesley.  Her words say it best:  "He was my teacher, my companion, my child, my playmate, my reminder of God."" 
E  
A former Wall Street Journal nature columnist and author of the best-selling “Red-Tails in Love,” Winn once again tackles urban wildlife with gusto. Winn’s engaging tales begin with her love of bird watching, but as she trains her binoculars she discovers that she’s not alone in her urban oasis. Through her curiosity for nature, she finds other like-minded people – citizen scientists – whom she befriends. Together they gather at night to identify moths’ wing patterns and watch with fascination the mysterious mating rituals between two slugs hanging from a tree limb.
F 
It should surprise no one that the best way to preserve nature is to ensure that all of its parts are in place. But the reality is that humans have long been waging a war against large carnivores – lions and tigers and bears, to name but a few. The result, says author William Stolzenburg in this absorbing and delightful work of natural history, is that we have thrown the balance of nature out of whack. The science he presents is not all new, but the scientific perspective Stolzenburg reflects will be fresh and illuminating to many readers.
