14.Whenever my dog,Barney,comes into the house after having been for a ride in the car,he runs to the pen(圍欄) we have set up for him by the back door.It's not something we intentionally trained him to do.The habit came simply because my husband tended to put him in his pen whenever they came in.After doing it a few times,Barney just figures that's what you do when you come inside after a car ride.
It's the same with your thinking.You get into the habit of thinking a certain way and then you'll rarely question it after that.
This is especially true when you were growing up.You developed habits that just made things easier for you.You probably didn't even think about them.That's just the way it was and that's what you did.Just like Barney thinks he has to go into his pen,you do things automatically as well.
For example,when you were a kid,you may have been told not to"talk back"and to just keep quiet about things that were bothering you.These are habits that might have worked to keep you safe and out of trouble when you were young.
Now that you're grown up,you may be finding that these previous strategies are actually causing you problems.In a relationship,not communicating isn't going to work as your partner can't read your mind.What works when you're a child may not work when you become an adult.
When you decide you need to change your thoughts,your brain may at first feel that it's not a safe thing to do.Lots of practice and years of experience says it's not.Also,you don't know to question the thought.It's a truth for you.The trick is to look at your results and see if your thoughts are the cause.Be willing to question your thinking and ask yourself if there are thoughts that are hindering (妨礙) you.As you are now in a different phase of your life,different strategies may be needed.
63.As with the dog Barney,peopleA.
A.think in a habitual way              
B.enjoy having a car ride
C.usually behave in a friendly way       
D.have a good memory

Start planning early what you'd like to do.Where would you like to live?What would you like to learn?I think your plan to study fashion is good,and you should decide where you want to be,and get onto the right courses.I will always be there for you,but the time has come for you to be in the driver's seat-this is your life,and you need to be in control.Being in control feels great.Try it,and you'll love it!
So please treasure your college years-make the best use of your free time,become an independent thinker in control of your destiny,and learn through your successes and challenges.

5.As an English teacher,I've been lucky enough to travel to many countries all over the world.I've seen people celebrate everything from the arrival of new babies to the delivery of new cars.I've attended weddings,parties and religious celebrations in countries such as Argentina and Japan,and I've noticed that gold---the metal or the colour of it---is always part of cultural events,traditions and celebrations.
It makes me wonder:Why do people love gold?
For some people,gold seems to be a status(地位)symbol.Indian businessman Datta Phuge loves gold so much that he even bought a shirt made of gold at a cost of 250,000.I'mnotsureI'dspendsomuchmoneyonashirt,wouldyou?ButDattaPhugehashisreason.Heexplains,"SomepeoplewanttoownanAudioraMercedes.Ichoosegold."<br/>Forotherpeople,goldisaninvestment(投資).ThepriceofgoldgenerallyincreasesovertimeandinEuropeanmarkets,itreachedeven1,500 per ounce in 2011.
And for many people,a family heirloom(傳家寶)brings together status and investment.My mother has a gold bracelet(手鐲)that was given to her by her grandmother who,in turn,inherited it from her own grandmother.It's quite a heavy piece and probably worth quite a lot of money.But its mental value is greater than its value in dollars.It's a beautiful object that holds many family memories.When the time comes,my mum will give the bracelet to me,and one day,I'll pass it on to the younger generation.
Therefore,status and investment are good reasons to value gold.However,I think that the real reason why people love gold is that it can be made into beautiful objects.Think about Tutankhamen's death mask.Have you ever seen anything so beautiful?
People love gold because it holds their minds,their imaginations and,above all,their hearts.
56.The main idea of the first paragraph is thatD.
A.the author has traveled to many countries  
B.people celebrate almost everything
C.there are many ways to use gold         
D.people all over the world love gold
57.Datta Phuge bought a shirt made of gold becauseA.
A.gold is a status symbol to him          
B.he loves this kind of shirt
C.people there love gold so much     
D.he is a successful businessman
58.According to the passage,in Europe,gold could beCper ounce in 2010.
A.1,550           B.1,500          C.1,450           D.1,600
59.The gold bracelet is the heirloom for the author's family mainly becauseD.
A.it's worth a lot of money              
B.it brings status and investment
C.it's a beautiful object                
D.it holds family memories
60.In the author's opinion,the real reason why people love gold is thatB.
A.it is a status symbol to some people         
B.it can be made into beautiful objects
C.it can be passed on to the younger generation
D.it can bring people a lot of money.
