       For her first twenty-four year, she’d been known as Debbie---a name that didn’t suit her good looks and elegant manner．” My name has always made me think I should be a cheerleader, ”She complained．”I just don’t feel like a Debbie!”

       One day ,while filling out an application form for publishing job, the young woman suddenly changed middle name, Lynne, for her first name Debbie．“That was the smartest thing I ever did,” She says now．“ As soon as I stopped calling myself Debbie．I felt more comfortable with myself… and other people started to take me more seriously”．Two years after her successful magazine editor--- friends and associates call her Lynne．

       Naturally, the name change didn’t cause Debbie/Lynne’s professional achievement--- but it surely helped if only by adding a bit of self-confidence to her talents．Social scientists say that what you are called can affect your life．Through history, names have not only identified people but also described them．”… As his name is, so is he …? says the Bible．For better or worse, qualities such as friendliness or reserves, simpleness or charm may be suggested by your name and encourage other people before they even meet you．

Section C

Directions: Complete the following passage by using ONE word that best fits the context.

There was a tradition in Europe that if a dove（鴿）flew around a house where someone was dying, then his soul would be at peace. And there are legends which say that Satan (撒旦) _48__ turn himself into any bird except for a dove. But it was Pablo Picasso who made the dove a modern symbol of peace when   49  used it on a poster for the World Peace Congress in 1949.

   The rainbow is another ancient and universal symbol, often representing the connection between human beings and their gods. In Greek mythology it was associated with Iris, the goddess  50  brought messages from the gods on Mount Olympus. In Scandinavian mythology(神話) the rainbow was a bridge  51 the gods and the earth. In      52   Bible a rainbow showed Noah that the Biblical flood was finally over, and that God had forgiven his people. In the Chinese tradition, the rainbow is often taken   53  a common symbol for marriage.

   Nowadays the rainbow is  54  used by many popular movements for peace and the environment, representing the possibility of a better world in the future   55 __promising sunshine after the rain.

    If you want to deal with the association (交往) between boys and girls properly, here are some advice for you to follow.

    1) Keep a normal and healthy state of mind. Our schools and classes are made up of boys and girls. It is very natural for the boys and girls to contact each other and build up the friendship with the students of the other sex. Generally speaking, we should broaden the circle of the association. We should make as many friends as possible. We should have more friends of the opposite sex instead of one or two. We should contact the students in public instead of in secret. 

2) Contact students of opposite sex warmly, generously and sincerely. Don’t be too nervous or too shy in contact with a person of the opposite sex. In that case it is very difficult for you to make a lot of friends, as no one likes a person who is too shy to say a word. If you are too shy a person, you can also find a way out. First of all, you can contact the students with the same interest and hobby with you. As both of you have much in common, you may have much to talk about. If you keep doing like that, little by little, you will gladly find you are also as free to express yourself as others.

3) Don't fall into the ditch (泥潭) of early love. The boys and girls at adolescence(青春期)are rich in feelings and full of imagination. They are easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love, and fall in love with other at an early age. In my opinion, boys and girls at middle school are too young and too tender to shoulder the heavy duty of love. Early love is a green apple that can't be eaten. An apple won't taste sweet until it is fully ripe. Do keep out of early love.

A. rich in feelings                    B. full of imagination   

C. old enough to fall in love            D. easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love

A. The early love

B. Some advice on how to associate between boys and girls

D. How to talk with a girl

SECTION B

Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the in??formation given in the passage and the required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.

Fast food and too much TV time should not take all the blame for the weight problems. A group of researchers say that a number of aspects of modern living from lack of sleep to environmental chemicals and to living with air conditioning ——may be closely related to the weight problems of many people.

Lack of sleep is one of factors. Research in animals and humans suggest that a lack of sleep over a long time can increase appetite. Studies also show that many adults and children are sleeping less than they used to. In recent decades, adults have gone from sleeping for all average of nine hours to about seven hours.

There is also evidence that industrial chemicals may increase body fat. These chemicals, which are used in products, change hormonal activity when they get into the body. Studies suggest that people have been getting more and more of these chemicals through the food chain in recent decades.

Another factor that may be making people overweight is air conditioning . The body burns calories when forced to eat less in hot and wet weather, but air conditioning makes it unnecessary for the body to make any adjustment.

Researchers also list other possible risk factors for overweight , including more older mothers, whose children may become overweight more easily; a number of medicines which can lead to weight gain ; and fewer people who smoke, since people often gain weight when they stop smoking because nicotine can make people eat less.

No one is suggesting that people should stop working and sleep more, or keep smoking. When it comes to any person's weight, what really matters is how much they eat and how much of the food they use every day. That means diet and exercise are still the key.
