6．Our cities are getting bigger and bigger as more people move from the country to the city．There are lots of reasons why they do this-mostly it is to find work，because all the big companies are in the cities and they need lots of people to work there．When there are lots of people living and working in a city，they need things like restaurants，shops，hospitals and schools，too．These are all more jobs that people need to do．There will be lots of transport in the city to move all the people around．Everything you could want will be found in a city：government offices，museums and art galleries，cinemas，big restaurants and parks．
Unfortunately the city is much busier，more expensive，and more dangerous than the country．The air is not so healthy because of all the cars and trucks on the roads．There are so many people that it is not as friendly-you cannot get to know everyone as you do in the country，and people may get lonely．You do not have much room in the city-most people live in apartments-not houses，and they do not have gardens or lots of space，and because of all the people there is also a lot of noise．
The country is much more friendly as everyone knows each other．It is much cheaper to live and there are less dangerous people than you find in cities．And perhaps the best thing is that you can have a big house with a garden and it will be very quiet．But there are not many jobs or services there．There are also not many shops，schools or hospitals．And it is hard to get around．
Every person is different，but more and more people choose to live in cities because there is so much to do there．What do you think about the city？

50．Why do more and more people move to the cities？A
A．Because they want to find a job．
B．Because they like to live in apartments．
C．Because they want to make more friends．
D．Because they like eating in big restaurants．
51．Which sentence is true according to the passage？B
A．You can live a quiet life in the city
B．You can find a big house with a garden in the country．
C．People can visit museums and art galleries in the country．
D．Big companies in the country need lots of people to work there．
52．The writer says the country is more friendly becauseD．
A．people can live quietly            
B．people work together
C．everyone has some friends         
D．everyone knows each other．

17．Helen Keller was an American educator and journalist，who became one of the leading humanitarians in the history of the United States．Born on June 27，1880 in Tuscumbia，a small town in Alabama，Keller was stricken with a childhood disease that left her deaf，and blind．The illness Keller suffered （遭受） is a mystery to this day．Unable to see，or hear，Keller became difficult to deal with as her behaviour was described as wild by her family and friends．
Soon Keller and her family developed their own type of sign language that allowed them to communicate with each other．Helen's mother needed help for her anguished （痛苦的） child，which eventually led to Anne Sullivan，who was a recent graduate （畢業(yè)生） of the Perkins Institute for the Blind．The school had been successful in the past in educating blind students，and Sullivan was one of its star graduates．Once Sullivan and Keller got through the difficult beginnings，their friendship，and association （合作） lasted for 49 years．
Keller was determined to become educated，and to teach herself to communicate．After attending several schools，she became the first deaf and blind person to earn a college degree．She became very well-known，and began a lecture tour where she made speeches on social and political issues，including women's suffrage （選舉權(quán)），and birth control．Also she required the government to raise awareness to the situation of the blind．She devoted much of her later life to raising funds for the American Foundation for the Blind．
On September 14，1964，President Lyndon B．Johnson awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom，one of the United States'two highest civilian honours．In 1999，Keller was listed in Gallup's Most Widely Admired People of the 20th century．

14．Most people want to be happy，but few know how to find happiness．Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness．Happiness depends on ourselves．In other words，we make our own happiness．
Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier．
The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life．Too often，we spend so much time thinking about the future--for example，getting into college or getting a good job that we fail to enjoy the present（現(xiàn)在）．You should enjoy life's simple pleasures，such as reading a good book，listening to your favorite music，or spending time with close friends．People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives．
Another secret of living a happy life is to be active，and hobbies make you forget your problems and time．Many people experience this by dancing，swimming or playing a sport．You can forget about your problems，and only think about the activity．
Finally，many people find happiness in helping others．Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others．If you want to feel happier，do good things for someone．You can help a friend with his or her studies，go shopping to buy food for an elderly person，or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes．

1．Good communication skills are key to success in life，work and relationships．Without effective （有效的） communication，a message can turn into error，misunderstanding，or even disaster．
  Communication is the process by which we exchange information between people．To communicate well is to understand and to be understood．Communication can be successful only when both the sender and the receiver understand the same information．
  In today's highly informational and technological environment，it has become more important to have good communication skills．Here are some important steps to communicate effectively：
  Know what you want to say and why．Understand clearly the purpose of your message．Know to whom you are communicating and why．
  How will you say it？We all know that it's not always what you say，but how you say it，that matters．Begin by making eye contact．You show trust and confidence when you look at others in the eyes when you speak．Second，pay attention to your body language，since it can say so much more than your words．By standing with your arms easily at your side，you tell others that you are open to hearing what they have to say．
  Communication is a two-way street．After you have said what you have to say，stop and listen．Practice your listening skills．Be considerate of other speakers by waiting until they've finished．While others are talking，listen carefully and never cut them off．
Definition of communication Communication is the process by which exchange information （71）betweenpeople．
Some （72）advantages for paying attention to communication skills  l  Key to success in life，work and relationships
l  Helping to understand each other
l  Being of much （73）importance at present as a result of the highly information and technology environment
Some steps to have an effective communication l  Have a （74）clearunderstanding of what your purposes，listers and reasons are．
