Getting to the top is hard enough but staying there is an even greater challenge. And so it could be argued that the 10th World Championship 400m victory by Tonique Williams Darling is even more remarkable than when she struck Olympic gold in 2004.
   Coming off the final turn the 27-year-old from the Bahamas held off the attack of both Sanya Richards (USA) and the former World champion Ana Guevara of Mexico displaying a hunger that permanent champions must have.
"I would say that being able to pull off the Olympic title and then come back a year later and pull off the World Championship title has just been a miler coaster (過山車) experience for me," she revealed. "It's really an historical moment for me and for the Bahamas, just to be able to do something like this. And so I feel really humbled and grateful and just overjoyed right now."
"It is not an easy experience. I will tell you, definitely, that in the off-season it was just a struggle to go out there every day and practice because coming off the top races and after the Olympics experience you are just kind of worn out mentally. It's not even physical. So you just go with the season, and work through it, and by the time, like two weeks away from this competition, I was hungry again and ready to be competitive."
Williams Darling credits a support group of friends and family, her husband, Bahamian 400m runner Denis Darling, with keeping her grounded when the natural tendency would be to celebrate and then rest on one's laurels (桂冠，榮譽), Most importantly she credits her Christian faith.
"My life has changed a little bit (since winning the Olympics) but as far as the competition and training it hasn't changed that much,' she declares. "One thing I have tried to do is to train like I have never won anything before. And I think that it was achieved because I could have been lackadaisical (無精打采的) and blown off the season or whatever. I just stayed in there and knew that everybody else was coming after me. That really helped me to stay motivated this season."
46. The underlined words "credit' in paragraph 5 probably means
A. believe somebody
B. add money to the bank
C. attributes her success to those who have supported her
D. record, payment of money
47. Who won the gold medal of the 400m at the 9th World Championship?

48. According to the passage we can infer that _________.
A. the 10th World Championship was held in 2005.
B. Tonique Williams Darling's husband was her coach.
C. Denis Darling used to be a winner of the 400m of the Olympics
D. Sanya Richards only won at the .10~ World Championship

C. The higher top you get, the greater challenge you'll meet.
D. Do your best, and you are sure to be the top.

A man, now old, went overseas 40 years ago. On his     31      ( depart ), the girl he loved gave him as a souvenir a heart-shaped knot made of knitting wool. He     32     ( hang ) it on his belt ever since.
Several years later he got married and had children. As time went by his sweetheart’s      __33___ ( look ) became dimmer and dimmer like a landscape picture    34     ( fade ) away gradually, and his homeland only appeared in his dreams. In the evening of his life he often looked at the knot and sighed.
One day his grandson caught sight of the knot and insisted on getting hold of it as a toy. The boy fondled ( 撫弄 ) and tried to unfold it. At last he did    35     trick and got it loose and open.
When it      36       ( spread ) out it resumed ( 重獲 ) its form as a long thread, a very simple wool thread.      37    by the skillful hands of a beloved girl could the thread be knitted into such a complicated knot. Devoted love made so many simple things complex in the world.
Thus the old man was awoken to get a truth. Most of the grievances ( 抱怨 ), bitterness and hatred in life actually result from very small matters.      38      one is mindful of them, they become mental knots. But if one sees     39      the knot, it remains a simple thread or line, no matter     40      shape it assumes.

GENEVA(Reuters) -Pregnant women and other people at high risk should be vaccinated(注射疫苗) against the H1N1 swine flu virus as the cold weather begins to bite in the northern hemisphere(半球), the World Health Organization(WHO) said on Tuesday.
It voiced concern that some vulnerable(弱勢的) people don’t have access to the pandemic(傳染病) vaccine, which the WHO stressed had not caused any unusual side effects in hundreds of thousands of people to have received it worldwide so far.
“Certainly the fact that the vaccine isn’t being used by those who would have access to it and who would be in priority risk groups is of concern, yes,” WHO spokesman Gregory Hartl told a news briefing.
At least 5, 712 people have died from the swine flu virus, according to the United Nations agency. Health workers, pregnant women and people with conditions such as asthma are deemed at greatest risk and should be top priority for getting the shot.
“We have seen many, many examples of people in high risk groups such as pregnant women who have very severe disease or outcomes. These outcomes could be in all likelihood avoided if one were to get vaccinated,” Hartl said.
Unlike seasonal flu, which is most dangerous to the elderly, H1N1 is hitting younger adults and children especially hard.
The WHO recommends a single vaccine dose for protecting adults against H1N1. It has also urged governments to consider giving a single dose to as many children under age 10 as possible, but says more research is needed into child dosages.
In the United States, studies show that children under the age of 9 will need two doses of the vaccine to be fully protected, officials there said on Monday.
Parts of North America and Europe have already crossed the epidemic (流行病) threshold( 開始了), ahead of the normal influenza season which peaks in January-February for the northern hemisphere, WHO says.
51.According to the passage, what is WHO probably most concerned about now?
A. Whether the vaccine has side effect or not.
B. How many people are infected by the H1N1 swine flu virus.
C. Whether pregnant women and those at high risk can get the vaccination.
D. What is the difference between H1N1 and seasonal flu.
52.According to the passage, what group of people are more vulnerable to H1N1 swine flu virus?
A. The elderly.                  B. A teenager with asthma. 
C. An adult with heatstroke.               D. A newly-born baby.
53.In paragraph 4, “getting the shot” means ____________.
A. being shot      B. being vaccinated     C. being cured     D. getting killed
54.What can we learn from this passage?
A. Pregnant women will surely get severe disease if infected with H1N1.
B. Seasonal flu is more likely to hit younger adults and children.
C. one more dose of vaccine should be given to the children under 9.
D. About 6000 people have died from seasonal flu.
55.   Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Pregnant women need flu shot. 
B. Differences between H1N1 flu and seasonal flu.
C. The harm caused by H1N1 swine flu virus.
D. A breakthrough in H1N1 cure: vaccination.

In general, people talk about two groups of colors: warm colors and cool colors. Researchers in psychology think that there are also two groups of people: people who prefer warm colors and people who prefer cool colors.
The warm colors are red, orange and yellow. Where there are warm colors and a lot of light, people usually want to be active. People think that red, for example, is exciting. Sociable people, those who like to be with others, like red. The cool colors are green, blue and violet. These colors, unlike warm colors, are relaxing. Where there are cool colors, people are usually quiet. People who like to spend time alone often prefer blue.
Red may be exciting, but one researcher says that time seems to pass more slowly in a room with warm colors than in a room with cool colors. He suggests that a warm color, such as red or orange is a good color for a living room or restaurant. People who are relaxing or eating do not want time to pass quickly. Cool colors are better for offices or factories if the people who are working there want time to pass quickly.
Researchers do not know why people think some colors are warm and other colors are cool. How ever, almost everyone agrees that red, orange, and yellow are warm and that green, blue, and violet are cool. Perhaps warm colors remind people of warm days and the cool colors remind them of cool days. Because in the north the sun is higher during summer, the hot summer sunlight appears yellow.
小題1:Which of the following colors belong to cool colors?

A．Yellow, green.	B．Blue, violet.
C．Black, blue.	D．Brown, white.

小題2:Which of the following statements is not true?

A．Sociable people like warm colors.

B．Warm colors can make people excited.

C．People who like to be with others don't like red.

D．Where there are warm colors, people want to be active.

小題3:Which is the right color for different rooms?

A．Red or orange for offices.	B．Orange for dining-rooms.
C．Blue for bedrooms.	D．Red for studies.

小題4:What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

A．It shows the reason why people think some colors are warm and others are cool.

B．Warm colors remind people of warm days.

C．Cool colors remind people of cool days.

D．People have an agreeable opinion of warm colors and cool colors.
