If  you are  interested  in  becoming  a  registered  nurse，  you  are  most likely  aware that there are certain qualifications to become one．

 Knowing the educational requirements to  be  a registered nurse  is the first step you   will  need  to take  in  your journey to  become  a  RN．  You will  need to  complete  a prescribed program  of study．The  education that the promising  registered  nurse  chooses  will depend on if he or she is interested in getting further education．

One of the most getting forms of education for registered nurses is an associate degree in  nursing  which takes  about two  years to  complete．  Other  RN  candidates  may  choose  a hospital diploma program where they take 30 to 60 hours worth of science classes and then take  many more hours of classes which are heavily focused on nursing．The diploma program usually  takes  a minimum of three years．  A diploma program meets the  basic  educational requirements to be a registered nurse．

Another choice is for the promising RN to get a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing    from a university．Once a BSN degree is earned，it gives the person the opportunity to get     higher education opportunities in his or her field such as a Master’s Degree or a PhD．

The registered nurse educational requirements can vary from state to state in America     as each state has its own laws and policies that govern the nursing profession．However，all     registered nurses must take some sort of licensing exam in order to become legally able to     practice in the registered nursing profession．

While 2 to 3 years of training is required，it is possible to make a good living from the salary that you can earn as a registered nurse．But be aware that the profession can be     stressful．Some of the most stressful nursing positions are those in hospitals，particularly in     the emergency rooms．Some less stressful jobs may include working in private practice where     the hours will not be as long． 

66．The main idea of this article is to talk about——．

    A．the most promising profession in the future

When a storm is coming, most people leave the area as quickly ad possible and head for safety. But there are a few people who will get into their cars and go straight for the center of the storm. These people are willing to risk being killed by floods or 100-kilometer-an-hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm close up.
“Storm chasing” is becoming an increasingly popular hobby, especially in the Midwest of the United States, where there are frequent storms between March and July. A storm chaser begins the day by checking the Internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to 1,000 kilometers to where the storm will be and waits for it to develop.
Although anyone can do it , storm chasing is extremely dangerous. The power of a big storm can throw a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds. Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents caused by driving in a heavy rain. If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for storm-chasing vacations during the storm season.
Even then, storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement . “Storm chasing is 95% driving,” says Daniel Lynch, who spends most of his summer storm-chasing. “Sometimes you can sit around for hours waiting for something to happen, and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers.”
However, for storm chasers, it is all worth it. “When you get close to a storm, it is the most exciting sight you will ever see in your life,” says Jasper Morley. “Every storm is an example of the power of nature, It is the greatest show on Earth.”
【小題1】For storm chasing, the first thing storm chasers do is to .

A．head straight for the center of the storm
B．get into the car for safety
C．wait patiently for the storm to develop
D．collect information about a coming storm
【小題2】Beginners of storm chasing are advised .
A．not to drive in a heavy rain
B．to do it in an organized way
C．not to get too close to a storm
D．to spend more time on it in summer
【小題3】By saying “it is all worth it” in the last paragraph, the author means that .
A．storm chasing costs a lot of money
B．storm chasing is worth hours of waiting
C．efforts in storm chasing are well paid
D．a(chǎn) storm presents the greatest show on Earth
【小題4】What can we learn from the text?
A．Sometimes storm chasers get nothing but disappointment
B．Many storm chasers get killed in the storms.
C．Storm chasing is becoming popular around the world.
D．Storm chasing is only fit for young people.

Are you a compulsive spender，or do you hold on to your money as long as possible? Are you a bargain hunter? Would you rather use charge accounts than pay in cash? Your answers to these questions will reflect your personality．According to psychologists，our individual money habits not only show our beliefs and values，but can also stem from past problems．
Experts in psychology believe that for many people，money is an important symbol of strength and influence．Husbands who complain about their wives’ spending habits may be afraid that they are losing power in their marriage．Wives，on the other hand，may waste huge amounts of money because they are angry at their husbands．In addition，many people consider money a symbol of love．They spend it on their family and friends to express love，or they buy themselves expensive presents because they need love．
People can be addicted to different things —for example，alcohol，drugs，certain foods，or even television．They are compulsive in their addictions，i．e．they must satisfy these needs to feel comfortable．In the same way，according to psychologists，compulsive spenders must spend money．
For people who buy on credit，furthermore，charge accounts are even more exciting than money：in other words，they feel that with credit，they can do anything．Their pleasures in spending enormous amounts are actually greater than those they get from the things they buy．
There is even a special psychology of bargain hunting．To save money，of course，most people look for sales，low prices，and discounts．Compulsive bargain hunters，however，often buy things that they don’t need just because they are cheap．They want to believe that they are helping their budgets，but they are really playing an exciting game：when they can buy something for less than other people，they feel that they are winning．Most people，experts claim，have two reasons for their behavior：a good reason for the things that they do and the real reason．
It is not only scientists，of course，who understand the psychology of spending habits，but also business people．Stores，companies，and advertisers use psychology to increase business：they consider people’s needs for love，power，or influence，their basic values，their beliefs and opinions， etc．in their advertising and sales methods．
Psychologists often use a method called “behavior therapy（療法）”to help individuals solve their personality problems．In the same way，they can help people who feel that they have problems with money：they give them “assignments” If a person buys something in every store that he enters， for instance，a therapist might teach him self discipline in this way：on the first day of his therapy， he must go into a store，stay five minutes，and then leave．On the second day，he should stay for ten minutes and try something on．On the third day，he stays for fifteen minutes，asks the salesclerk a question，but does not buy anything．Soon he will learn that nothing bad will happen to him if he doesn’t buy anything，and he can solve the problem of his compulsive buying．
【小題1】If you use charge accounts，           ．

A．you pay in cash
B．you pay less than you should
C．you pay with credit card
D．you pay more than you should
【小題2】Compulsive bargain hunters buy things for all the following reasons except that         ．
A．the things they buy are cheap
B．they believe they can balance their budgets
C．they get psychological satisfaction

C．finding out how people will react if they are allowed to buy
D．finding out what people will do in front of a bargain
【小題4】The underlined word “those” in Paragraph 3 refers to         ．

The average person learns most of the 30 000～40 000 words whose meanings he or she recognizes by hearing them or getting familiar with them in the context or simply absorbing them without conscious effort. The best way to build a good vocabulary, therefore, is to read a great deal and to participate in a lot of good talks. There are relatively few words that we learn permanently by purposefully referring to dictionaries or keeping word lists. However, even those extra few are of value, and no one will make a mistake by working on developing a larger vocabulary. Here are some suggestions of how to do it.
Read plenty of good books. When you come across a new word, or a new meaning of an old word, stop and see if you can understand it from its context. If you can't, and if you can manage without interrupting the thought of the book too much, look it up in a dictionary or ask somebody and then repeat its meaning to yourself a couple of times. If you are really conscientious(認(rèn)真的), write the word and its meaning in a personal vocabulary list － preferably using it in a sentence, or you can keep a special vocabulary notebook. Go over the list from time to time. Further, try to use a new word in writing or conversation a few times over the next several days.
Listen to good talks and be alert to new words you hear or to new meanings of words you already know. Then treat them just as you treat the new words you read.
Learn and be alert to the parts of words: prefixes, suffixes and roots. Knowing them enables you to make intelligent guesses about the meanings of words.
If you are studying a foreign language, be alert to words in that language which relate to words in English. English has inherited(繼承) or borrowed much of its vocabulary of 500 000～600 000 words from Latin, Greek, French, Spanish and German.
【小題1】When you meet a new word in reading, what should you do?

A．Guess its meaning. B．Ask somebody.
C．Look it up in a dictionary.D．All of the above.
【小題2】According to this passage, the best way to build a good vocabulary is ______.
A．to remember a lotB．to read a great deal
C．to take part in a lot of good talksD．both B and C
【小題3】 The phrase “be alert to” in the third paragraph may best be replaced by “______”.
A．look atB．pay attention toC．write downD．learn by heart
【小題4】 In the fourth paragraph, the word “them” refers to ______
A．the parts of wordsB．prefixesC．suffixesD．Roots

Like most big projects, learning to manage your mother well is what you should do. Here are what I believe the best steps towards a better relationship with her. They are not necessarily surprising or revolutionary, but they have worked for many people. Try them.
Remember your mother’s age. As children, we often do not think of our mother as having an age. Even when we become conscious of her as an individual, age does not change our view; she is still our mother. Knowing our mother’s age, not just in numbers of years but in terms of her psychological and physical state, often helps us to understand her better.
Listen to your mother. I have found that sometimes the things my mother told me long ago are remarkably useful. If your mother knows that you respect her point of view, even if you do not share it, it will help her feel close to you.
Remember that your mother has a past. A key step in managing our relationship with our mother is to find out about her early life.In learning about our mother’s past, we know that it can encourage us to think about her whole life.
Ask your mother about your childhood history. My grandparents died when I was young. If you are fortunate enough to have living family, think of your life as a jigsaw puzzle and ask as many questions as you can to put the picture together. Understanding your roots and your childhood can help you know more clearly who you are, as part of a family which you share with your mother.
Remember that managing your mother is really about managing yourself. Taking any measure to managing our mother is the issue of how we manage ourselves. No matter how difficult we find her, it is important to remember that it is not her behavior itself that is causing us discomfort, but the way we feel about her behavior. We should follow the way of her life. At the heart of managing your mother is being able to accept your flawed self. Only then are you able to accept your mother-----with all her failings.
64. 【小題1】What does the underlined phrase “a jigsaw puzzle” mean?

A．拼圖玩具B．瀏覽迷宮C．填充字謎D．游戲人生
65. 【小題2】Which of the following is implied but not stated in the passage?
A．You will have a better relationship with your mother if you respect her opinion.
B．Knowing your mother’s age is a useful piece of advice.
C．The key measure of managing our mother is how we manage ourselves.
D．It is unreasonable to expect our mother to change totally from the way she was brought up.
66. 【小題3】The main purpose of writing the text is _______.
A．to give information about how you think of your mother
B．to improve the relationship with your mother
C．to keep a sense of humor about your mother all day long
D．to accept your mother-----with all her failings
