2．Don't invite crime-take basic，sensible precautions．Your house and possession are valuable and must be properly protected．When you buy a lock，you buy time．The best prevention is delay and noise which could mean discovery．
When you leave it-lock it!
First of all，fit security locks to all doors and windows and a safety chain on the front door．Secondly，use them!
If you have any ladders or tools，don't leave them lying about in the garden，lock them away．
"Safe"or"secret"places for keys and valuables are not reliable-nine times out of ten，they are the first place a thief will look．
When you move house…
When you move into a new home even if it is fitted with security locks，change them．You don't know who else may have keys．
Never let strangers into your house．An official-looking cap is not enough，ask for proof of identity and look at it carefully-if you are still not satisfied，don't let the person in．
Valuables need special protection
Valuables should really be given special protection-preferably by leaving them with your bank．A small security safe works too，but not to the most determined burglar．It is also important to keep an up-to-date list of valuables and their descriptions．In the case of fine art，paintings，or jewelry，color photographs can sometimes be of assistance to the police if you are unfortunate enough to have them stolen．Enter the details on the back of the pictures．But don't keep such documents in your house，keep them at the bank or with your insurance company．
Going on holiday？
Don't talk about your holidays and future plans loudly in public．Do remember to cancel the milk and newspapers and also to draw curtains back．
Operate a"Good Neighbor"program to ensure that mail is taken in，the house is checked regularly and that lights are put on．
Call at your local police station and tell them you are going away．Make sure that they know how to contact you in case of trouble．
Don't leave cash or valuables in the house-take them with you or put them in the bank．
55．When moving into a new house，you are supposed toB．
A．buy a safe
B．change the locks
C．visit your neighbors
D．stay away from strangers
56．Which is the safest way to protect your valuables？B
A．Taking pictures of your valuables．
B．Keeping your valuables at the bank．
C．Putting your valuables in your safe．
D．Giving a list of your valuables to the police．
57．When you are away for holidays，youC．
A．should cancel your mail
B．shouldn't leave your keys to your neighbors
C．shouldn't make it known that your home is empty
D．should ask the police to check your house regularly
58．What is the purpose of the passage？D
A．To inform people of safety standards．
B．To introduce the advantages of banks．
C．To prove the importance of security locks．
D．To educate people on prevention of burglars．

13．Telling fewer lies benefits people physically and mentally．Anita Kelly，study author and professor of psychology at the University of Notre Dame，recruited 110adults for her study．She divided them into two groups and asked one group to stop lying for 10weeks．Lies included big ones and tiny ones-any false statement-but participants were still allowed to leave out the truth，keep secrets and avoid questions they didn't want to answer，etc．The other group wasn't given any special instructions about lying．
It turns out that both groups reduced their lying，but those who were specifically told to tell the truth improved their health more．"We found that the participants could purposefully and dramatically reduce their everyday lies，and that in turn was associated with significantly improved health，"said Kelly．
When participants in the no-lie group told three fewer white lies than they did in other weeks，they experienced，on average，fewer mental-health complaints and physical complaints．They were less likely to feel tense or sad and also experienced fewer sore throats and headaches．They also reported that personal relationships improved．Additionally，participants found themselves being honest about their daily accomplishments，and they stopped making up excuses for being late or failing to complete a task，for example．
"It's certainly a worthy goal to have people be more honest and interact with others in a more honest way，"says psychologist Robert Feldman．"That would be beneficial．I'm a little doubtful that it makes us all healthier，but it may make us healthier in a psychological way．"

72．Which of the following is true according to the text？C．
A．People who tell lies are healthier than those who don't
B．Being honest can help cure sore throats and headache
C．Not all the participants were required to tell the truth
D．Participants involved are asked not to keep secrets
73．The participants of the two groupsC．
A．told as many lies as before
B．were almost equally healthy
C．tended to lie less about their activities
D．experienced tenser personal relationships
74．From Robert Feldman，we can learn thatB．
A．white lies might make people have more complaints
B．honesty is likely to help people become mentally healthier
C．people should not be honest with others but with themselves
D．telling the truth can make people physically and mentally healthy
75．The text is mainly aboutA．
A．the connection between honesty and health
B．research on physical and mental health
C．a(chǎn)dvice for being an honest person
D．effects of honesty on personal relationships．

10．When Americans in the manufacturing sector （制造業(yè)） cried out，"The Chinese are coming，"some years ago，they expressed a restless concern and warning about a possible loss of job opportunities．Now Americans in the tourism industry issued the same cry on June 17-but this time，it was a welcome call to greet the first organized group of Chinese tourists to the United States．U．S．tourism officials have high expectations that well-off Chinese visitors，who are ready and willing to spend loads of yuan，will give a big help to their industry．
"We're very excited，"said Helen N．Marano，Director of the Office of Travel and Tourism Industries under the U．S．Department of Commerce．Before she talked to Beijing Review on June 17，Marano and her colleagues had been waiting for more than two hours at Washington Dulles International Airport to give a warm welcome to the first organized group of Chinese tourists to visit the United States．
The first group consisted of 250 tourists，who left from Beijing，Shanghai and Guangdong on June 17，the day when newly appointed Chinese Vice Premier Wang Qishan and U．S．Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson started the fourth round of the China-U．S．Strategic Economic Dialogue （SED） in Annapolis，Maryland．Each was backed by a big group of heavyweight ministerial officials．
Coincidence （巧合） could not provide a satisfactory explanation to the two events taking place on the same day．As a perfect example of one of the concrete results of the high-level dialogue between the two countries started by Chinese President Hu Jintao and U．S．President George W．Bush in 2006，the first Chinese tourist group's arrival in the United States was widely reported by the Chinese media．
At the previous SED meeting last December，Chairman of the Chinese National Tourism Administration Shao Qiwei and U．S．Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez signed an agreement between China and the United States to advance tourist group travel from China to the United States．Under this agreement，China agreed to give an"approved destination status"to the United States，allowing Chinese travel agencies to market tourism to American destinations and permitting U．S．destinations to advertise directly to the Chinese public．
The agreement"is estimated to bring up to 100 million Chinese travelers to the United States over the next 15 years，"Paulson said．
But what people in the U．S．tourism industry care more about is how they can get a big slice of the pie．
"I'm getting calls already from people saying things like，‘How do we get to do this？'and‘How do we attract Chinese tourists to our area？'"Marano told Beijing Review．Marano said she had been waiting for this market to be open for more than five years and that she was so excited now to see it finally happen．

63．When，a few years ago，some Americans shouted"the Chinese are coming"，they 
D．
A．were worried that the Chinese language would take the place of English
B．were concerned that the number of the Chinese tourists would be bigger than the locals 
C．wanted to warn that the U．S．economy would suffer heavy losses
D．feared that large numbers of Chinese moving into the U．S．would make many Americans jobless
64．Helen N．Marano was excited becauseB．
A．large numbers of Chinese touring the U．S．would tip her and her colleagues
B．the Chinese touring in the U．S．would help improve its industry
C．the Chinese are usually well organized when travelling
D．Wang Qishan and Henry Paulson started the fourth round of the China-U．S．SED
65．We can infer from the passage thatC．
A．Chinese tourist agencies could organize groups of Chinese to go to the U．S．without the agreement 
B．Marano and her colleagues waited at the airport to see how well organized the Chinese were
C．many Americans take a positive attitude toward Chinese tourists
D．a(chǎn)bout 100 million Americans will travel to China in the next 15 years
66．Which of the following is the best title for this passage？A
A．The Chinese are coming
B．The fourth-round China-U．S．SED
C．More Chinese，more job opportunities
D．How can we attract more Chinese to our area．

17．This Mother's Day will be the 8th year I have spent without my own mother．She passed away less than a month before Mother's Day in the year 2000．She had been ill for almost two years，and I didn't cry when she died，or at her funeral，but on that first Mother's Day without her．On that day，I realized that this person I loved and depended on was gone forever．
She still lives in family memories，in the thoughts of her friends and co-workers，in the values she had instilled（灌輸） in her children，and in the lovely flower gardens that she had so carefully tended．
She loved her gladioli and irises．Each fall she would dig the bulbs out of the soil and carefully wrap them in paper．The bulbs would be stored until the following spring when they would be replanted．It seemed like a lot of effort to me，but each year her flower garden was more glorious than the year before．She put the same hard work into caring for her family，instilling in her children a sense of justice and fair play，compassion，and strong moral values so that we blossomed．
Share anecdotes about your mother's life at your Mother's Day party．Too often，we avoid speaking of those loved ones who have passed away，fearful that we will unearth sad feelings．It doesn't have to be that way．Sharing fond memories and stories of the life we shared with her can be a healing process that binds（捆綁）the family together．
My mother passed away when her oldest grandchild was only eight years old．Children will enjoy sharing pictures and stories of the grandmother they may have never known or have little memory of．Sharing anecdotes to pass on to the next generation will give children a feeling of family history and continuity，and may be one of the best ways to honor our mothers and grandmothers who have gone before us．

66．What does the underlined words"passed away"（ in Paragraph 1）mean？A
A．died        B．continued       C．started       D．lasted
67．On the first Mother's Day after mum died the author realizedC．

C．they don't love their mums any longer

A．spend the Mother's Day with our children

11．Reading Oliver James'Affluenza，I thought about what often happens at home．  My 12-year-old daughter is in tears．"I have to take a test tomorrow．I don't understand any of it，"she cries out．After shouting and shutting her door，she calms down enough to go through her notes．The following day I ask her how the test went and she just says"OK．I got a nine"．
"Wow，well done!"I say，before she finishes with"But I never get a ten!"
    According to James，this obsession with getting top marks has been a bad development，which encourages people to think of education in terms of work and money．To test this，I asked my daughter why she was so worried about her tests．She looked at me as if I was thick．"Well，if I don't get good grades，I won't get into university．Then I probably won't get a good job and I won't be able to afford nice things like a ear and stuff．"
    I was quite surprised，because I don't consider myself a pushy parent．But James suggests  showing any interest in grades sends the message that what is important is results and it leaves students feeling failures even if they are very bright．He points to the Danish system（體制）of  education as a better model．Creating happy citizens who have good social skills is seen as more important than high achievements at school or the needs of business．
    For me．I cannot remember the last time I had to work out the area of a circle，recite a  Shakespeare poem or grammar rules，yet I have lived a happy life．What I really needed to learn at school was how to make polite conversations，or how to avoid getting into debt or how to develop good personality．
    This is in fact similar to what Oliver James really has in mind．And he is looking for schools
where students are encouraged to find and follow their own interests，something more like Tongjon．Tongjon has been developed in some Korean private schools．It is quite different from the more rigid system of learning things by heart that is used in Korea，and indeed in many other school systems around the world．
  As the Russian poet Pushkin said，"Inspiration（靈感） is needed in geometry（幾何學） just as much as in poetry"，and inspiration does not come from endlessly revising for tests or getting worried about them．
62．What does the writer probably think of his/her daughter？D
A．She sets herself a goal too high to reach．
B．She should be more polite to her parents．
C．She is hard-working but not very bright．
D．She takes her grades much too seriously．
63．what dose the underlined word"obsession"in Paragraph 3 mean？D
A．A plan and unavoidable fact
B．A satisfied and very proud state
C．A practical and widely-used way
D．A fixed and often unreasonable idea
64．What can we infer from the passage？B
A．Social skills are as important as high grades．
B．Interest in grades can shake self-confidence．
C．The writer regrets not having studied hard at school．
D．Danish educational system is for very smart students．
65．The writer wants to tell us thatA．
A．learning happily is the key to self-development
B．top marks may be helpful to increase one'S interest
C．tests should be improved to give children inspiration
D．education should meet one's needs for work and money．

12．Many people think that listening is a passive business．It is just the opposite．Listening well is an active exercise of our attention and hard work．It is because they do not realize this，or because they are not willing to do the work，that most people do not listen well．
    Listening well also requires total concentration upon someone else．An essential part of listening well is the rule known as‘bracketing'．Bracketing（歸入同一類） includes the temporary giving up or setting aside of your own prejudices（偏見） and desires，to experience as far as possible someone else's world from the inside，stepping into his or her shoes．Moreover，since listening well involves bracketing，it also involves（包括）a temporary acceptance of the other person．Sensing this acceptance，the speaker will seem quite willing to open up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener．True communication is under way and the energy required for listening well is so great that it can be accomplished（完成）only by the will to extend oneself for mutual growth．
    Most of the time we lack this energy．Even though we may feel in our business dealings or social relationships that we are listening well，what we are usually doing is listening selectively．Often we have a prepared list in mind and wonder，as we listen，how we can achieve certain desired results to get the conversation over as quickly as possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us．Many of us are far more interested in talking than in listening，or we simply refuse to listen to what we don't want to hear．
    It wasn't until toward the end of my doctor career that I have found the knowledge that one is being truly listened to is frequently therapeutic（有療效的） In about a quarter of the patients I saw，surprising improvement was shown during the first few months of psychotherapy（心理療法），before any of the roots of problems had been uncovered or explained．There are several reasons for this phenomenon，but chief among them，I believe，was the patient's sense that he or she was being truly listened to，often for the first time in years，and for some，perhaps for the first time ever．
66．The phrase"stepping into his or her shoes"in paragraph 2 probably meansB．
A．preparing a topic list first                
B．experiencing the speaker's inside world
C．directing the talk to the desired results       
D．focusing on one's own mind
67．What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2？C
A．Benefits of listening．
B．What to listen to．
C．How to listen well．
D．Problems in listening
68．According to the author，in communication people tend toA．
A．listen purposefully             
B．listen actively     
C．set aside their prejudices          
D．open up their inner mind
69．According to the author，the patients improved mainly becauseD．
A．they were taken good care of．B．they knew the roots of problems．
C．they had partners to talk to．D．they knew they were truly listened to．
70．What type of writing the article likely to be？A
A．Popular science                  
B．A news report．
C．A medical report．
D．Science fiction．
