8．Dear Daisy，
Phew!I'm so glad that day is over．I was so worried all summer that my first day at my new school would be terrible．
I'm really tired，but my first day at school went well and I feel much better now．
First of all，we had to meet outside the school building．I was very nervous because my primary school only had 300 pupils but in the secondary school there are about 1，300．What a difference!The older pupils are really big．I felt so small waiting there in front of the school．
The other problem was that I didn't know anyone．My family moved over the summer holidays，because of Dad's new job．So now I have to try to make some new friends．Standing in front of the school this morning，I wanted to be back at my old school with my old friends．
The head teacher came out and told us to go into the school hall．Then he called our names out to tell us which class we were in．My class teacher is called Mrs．Black．She took us to our classroom．It's on the 5^th floor and …guess what？…We aren't allowed to use the lift．I couldn't believe it．
When we were walking up all the stairs I started talking to another boy who didn't know anyone．He said his family had moved from Hong Kong over the summer．He seemed really nice so we sat together when we got to our classroom，out of breath!He said his English was very poor but I thought it was really good．
We spent all morning with Mrs．Black looking at our timetables．Everyone in the school has a different timetable-can you believe it？Half of the school is learning Spanish as a second language and the other half learns French．I'm in the Spanish group，which sounds like fun．I'm worried that I'll forget my timetable and go to the wrong room!How will anyone help me if nobody else has the same timetable as me？
Lunchtime was OK．After lunch we started lessons．I had maths，which was complicated and difficult and then history，where we started to learn about ancient Greece．That looks interesting．I have to do some homework tonight to find out how the ancient Greek people lived．
So far so good．I'm quite looking forward to tomorrow，even though I've got science．I hate science!
Jason

6．America's greatest technological achievement，the Hoover Dam，now has a companion piece，a bridge held up by the longest arch in the Western Hemisphere（半球）．The Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge，which opened this month and connects the U．S．states of Arizona and Nevada，crosses the vast chasm（峽谷）890 feet above the Colorado River that is controlled by the dam．
The striking 1，900-foot-long structure will improve traffic in the region and help protect the dam from being destroyed．It is the seventh highest bridge in the world，behind four in China，one in Papua New Guinea and one in the US state of Colorado．
"The Hoover Dam is the greatest civil engineering achievement in America's history，"said the bridge project manager Dave Zanatell．"Our goal was not to outdo or outshine it．Our goal was to，in a respectful way，do something that would be great for our generation and that would stand besides Hoover Dam in a respectful and quality way that would become a part of Hoover's legacy（遺產(chǎn)）．"
Just as the Hoover Dam was built in the heart of the Great Depression（大蕭條）and was seen as an example of the nation's can-do spirit，some hope this project can also provide some uplift．
The bridge is surprising：at 1，050 feet，its support arch holds up a roadway that lies on 300-foot-long concrete pillars（柱子），some of the tallest in the world．It contains 16 million pounds of steel．
　　The idea of the bridge came into being in the 1960s because the top of the Hoover Dam has been a narrow two-lane road that is the fastest route from Arizona to Las Vegas and then the Pacific Northwest and Canada．
  　Access to the dam from each direction is a dangerously winding route，but massive trucks and passenger vehicles shared it for decades．During the day，when thousands of tourists travel to the dam from Las Vegas three times as many accidents as on a normal road will happen．
  　The bridge has a sidewalk on the side facing the dam．The wall on both sides is 54 inches high，so walkers can take photos there．
64．Which of the following is true of the Hoover Dam？B
A．It was completed recently．
B．It was built during the hard times．

5．A small man with a fat stomach got on the train at the last station before the frontier （邊境）．He carried a paper bag．And four feet ducks could be seen under the cover．The man found an empty seat，put the bag in the middle of the floor，took out a newspaper and began to read．Then a policeman came in．Of course he saw the bag with ducks'legs at once and said，"Whose is that bag？"Nobody answered．The policeman repeated the question，and said，"I'll have to take it away from the owner．Food mustn't be taken out of the country．""Well，then，"said the small man with a fat stomach．"Hurry up and take it．We want to go home．"The policeman took the bag and went on to the next carriage．
At the next station，when they were safely across the frontier，the small man got up，smiled at the other passengers and said，"I hope they'll enjoy the ducks'feet．The rest of the bag had nothing but rubbish in it．"Then he opened his coat and pointed to another bag he was carrying under it．It was tied tightly （緊緊地） over the stomach，which was not really fat．"I have the rest of the two ducks here，"he said．With these words，he got off the train．But while he was happily walking to the exit with the bag in his hands，a policeman came up to him，saying，"Hey，man!Foreign food mustn't be brought in．"

3．In our culture，the sources of what we call a sense of"mastery"-feeling important and worthwhile-and the sources of what we call a sense of"pleasure"-finding life enjoyable-are not always the same．Women often are told"You can't have it all．"Sometimes what the speaker really is saying is："You choose a career，so you can't expect to have closer relationships or a happy family life．"or"You have a wonderful husband and children-what's all this about wanting a career？"But women need to understand and develop both aspects of well-being，if they are to feel good about themselves．
Our study shows that，for women，well-being has two aspects．One is mastery，which includes self-respect，a sense of control over your life，and low levels of anxiety and depression．Mastery is closely related to the"doing"side of life，to work and activity．Pleasure is the other aspect，and it is made up of happiness，satisfaction and optimism．It is tied more closely to the"feeling"side of life．The two are independent of each other．A woman could be high in mastery and low in pleasure，and vice versa（反之亦然）．For example，a woman who has a good job，but whose mother has just died，might be feeling very good about herself and in control of her work life，but the pleasure side could be damaged for a time．
The concepts of mastery and pleasure can help us identify the sources of well-being for women，and correct past mistakes．In the past，women were encouraged to look only at the feeling side of life as the source of all well-being．But we know that both mastery and pleasure are important．And mastery seems to be achieved largely through work．In our study，all the groups of employed women were valued significantly higher in mastery than women who were not employed．
A woman's well-being is developed when she takes on multiple roles．At least by middle adulthood，the women who were involved in a combination of roles-marriages，motherhood，and employment-were the highest in well-being，in spite of warnings about stress and strain．

65．It can be inferred from the first paragraph thatD．
A．for women，a sense of"mastery"is more important than a sense of"pleasure"
B．for women，a sense of"pleasure"is more important than a sense of"mastery"
C．women can't have a sense of"mastery"and a sense of"pleasure"at the same time
D．a(chǎn) sense of"mastery"and a sense of"pleasure"are both necessary to women
66．The author's attitude towards women having a career isB．
A．negative         B．positive         C．indifferent          D．realistic
67．One can conclude from the passage that if a woman takes on several social roles，D．
A．it will be easier for her to overcome stress and strain
B．she will be more successful in her career
C．her chances of getting promoted will be greater
D．her life will be richer and more meaningful
68．Which of the following can be considered as a source of"pleasure"for women？A
A．Family life                              B．Multiple roles in society
C．Regular employment                       D．Freedom from anxiety．

2．When I first saw the book Alice in Lace，I thought I was going to like it．And as it turned out，I love it!I love books about life and being a kid．And Alice in Lace is just that kind．It's a humorous book about being thirteen and the problems kids might face．Alice and her friends get a strange assignment from their totally cool teacher，Mr．Everett．It was like playing the game of"Life，"but you had to act it out．
So Pamela is pregnant，Elizabeth buys a car and Alice gets married．Well，of course，Pamela wasn't really pregnant，but she walked around with a pillow under her shirt to get people's reactions．Elizabeth didn't really buy a car，but she went to the car lot and made the sales guy think she was．The whole class got assignments like these!I would love to do something like that for school．
In the book Alice has a lot to think about．"Getting married is hard!"Alice says．She has to plan the ceremony，the honeymoon，find a place to live，pay for furniture and two months'rent and food．Maybe she and her"husband"could work it out-if they were getting on fine!
Although this book was funny，it really made me think about how problems like these could really mess up your life．Take teenage pregnancy for example．How could you have a baby and stay in school？You couldn't find a babysitter every day to stay with your kid．A child really consumes your life．I understand what the teacher was trying to do．He was trying to discourage the class from getting into these problems by giving them a glimpse of life．As someone about to become a teenager myself，I can say sometimes a story makes you think about what's up ahead．
Overall，I would say this book is wonderful．My favorite part of the book is discovering that if I like it，there are seven other Alice books I can check out at my local library．I love this book，and I hope you will too．
