That’s when I had the idea of paying the difference for her. She refused at first，but after I 24 ,she agreed.She thanked me and moved to the end of the counter to 25 her order.I continued with my work and thought 26 more of it

About an hour later 27 had slowed down and I was waiting for my next customer.Then I glanced over towards the 28 and saw the same woman whom I’d helped with the money entering again．I 29 recognized her.

A

Dear Cary,

I’m writing because I’ve understood you’ve struggled with alcoholism(酗酒)．I’ve been fighting mine ever since I went through 9-11．After that，I’ve been more or less useless professionally –I’m a lawyer–and have had to resign from my job because I was discovered passed-out drunk in front of my computer.I’ve taken some medicine and it has helped somewhat.I can manage about a month without drinking，but after that I end up having a crazy stage where nothing matters except drinking．After a week or so of heavy drinking，I start having nightmares of people jumping.After that，it’s a week of not being able to get out of bed.

I was supposed to travel to a conference but didn’t make it because I got so drunk at the airport that I fell down on my face and spent the rest of the day in the emergency room. I have been hiding from my family since then．Fortunately they won’t be expecting me to come back for a week or so.Otherwise, they would notice the bump on my forehead and two black eyes．

I don’t really know what I’m asking you．Cary,I need a way out that doesn’t involve causing pain to my family．I’m taking medicine，but I still have these attacks every few months．If there’s alcohol in the house，I can’t stay away from it．It seems that this will never end. I’m afraid of what will happen if something bad happens，like a family member dying,or getting fired again． Thanks for reading．

Yours T

―Can I see my baby?‖asked the happy new mother. The bundle(婴儿包)was placed in her arms

and when she moved the fold of cloth to look upon his tiny face, she gasped-the baby had been born without ears. Time, however, proved that the baby’s hearing was perfect except his appearance．

One day when he rushed home from school and threw himself into his mother’s arms，he cried out bitterly，―A boy, a big boy…called me－a f—…freak．‖She sighed, knowing that his life was to be endless of heartbreaks． He grew up，handsome for his misfortune．A favorite with his fellow students,he might have been class president,but for that．He developed a gift for literature and music．

The boy’s father had a talk with the family doctor．Could nothing be done?―I believe we could graft(移植)on a pair of outer ears，if they could he donated(捐献)，‖the doctor decided．So the search began for a person who would make such a sacrifice(牺牲)for a young man．Two years went by．Then,―You’re going to the hospital，son．Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need．But it’s a secret．‖said the father．

The operation was a brilliant success．His talents blossomed into genius．School and college became a series of successes．Later he married and entered the diplomatic(外交)service．―But I must know!‖he urged his father．―Who gave so much for me? I could never do enough for him．‖ ―I do not believe you could,‖said the father，―but the agreement was that you are not to know…not yet．‖The years kept the secret,but the day did come …one of the darkest days that ever passed through a son．He stood with his father over his mother’s casket(棺材)．Slowly and tenderly，the father stretched forth a hand and raised the thick，reddish-brown hair to let out the secret． 41．The story is mainly about____________． A．hew a boy had new ears through an operation B．what a devoted parent privately did for the child C．how a disabled boy turned into a useful person D．why a donator made a sacrifice to a bright boy

42．From the first paragraph we know that the mother____________． A．was determined to donate her ears to pedect her son B．kept her husband unknown about the baby’s situation C．felt shocked and disappointed to see her new baby D．complained of her bad luck to have a disabled child

A．The agreement was between the donator and the family． B．The boy was so popular that he was made class president． C．Finally the boy came to know who the donator was． D．The mother donated her ears to her son after she died． 45．What moral lesson can we draw from this reading? A．Real love lies in what is done unknown rather than what is done known．

B．It is up to parents to help their children heart and soul． C．True beauty lies only in the heart not in appearance．

D．It is a virtue for young generations to learn to be grateful． C

Celebrity endorsements

Despite the fact that companies believe celebrities had a lot of pull with regard to the buying trends of consumers,researches have discovered that this does not seem to be the case．British and Swiss researchers conducted a study showing that advertisements made by celebrities like David Beckham and Scarlett Johansson are not as effective as those by ordinary people．

In a sample of 298 students,researchers presented a magazine advertisement for a digital camera that was endorsed by a fictional student claiming the camera was―hot‖and his ―preferred choice‖．The same advertisement was shown to other students，but with a difference：The camera was endorsed by a famous person in Germany．

While the students said that both advertisements were beneficial,the one made by the student topped the celebrity one if students aimed to impress others with their purchases.More than half of the students，who admitted purchasing products that would impress others，said they were influenced by the student’s advertisement．Only 20％ said the celebrity one would affect their buying decision．

Professor Brett Martin，of the University of Bath’s School of Management，explained that the findings could be used not only in Germany,but in other countries as well．―Our research questions whether celebrities are the best ways to sell products，‖said Prof Martin．―Celebrities can be effective but we found that many people were more convinced by an endorsement from a fictional fellow students．This is because many people feel a need to keep up with the Jones when they buy．‖

46．Some companies think the celebrities endorsement ____________． A．is popular with the consumers

B．can pull all the consumers into the shops C．can affect the consumers’ purchasing

D．is as effective as an endorsement from common people

47．Which of the following ads would be more effective to common consumers, according to the experiment?

A．An ad featuring lovely pandas． B．An ad made by David Beckham． C．An ad made by fictional common people．D．An ad with beautiful natural scenery． 48．The underlined words―the Jones‖in the last paragragh refer to―____________ ‖． A．someone called Jones B．common people C．the Jones family D．celebrities 49．We can imply from the passage that ____________． A．celebrities cheat consumers in advertisement

B．the researchers here are against celebrity endorsement

C．the student’s ads are mole reliable than those made by celebrities D．company needn’t spend so much money on celebrity endorsement 50．We can probably read the article in____________ ． A．a local newspaper B．a science report C．an academic journal D．a textbook D

Let’s do some sleep math．You lost two hours of sleep every night last week because of a big project due on Friday．On Saturday and Sunday，you slept in，getting four extra hours．On Monday

morningi, you were feeling so bright-eyed that you only had one cup of coffee,instead of your usual two．But don’t be cheated by your energy．You’re still carrying around a heavy load of sleepiness, or what experts call―sleep debt‖——in this case something like six hours，almost a full nights’ sleep．

Sleep debt is the difference between the amount of sleep you should be getting and the amount you actually get．It’s a deficit(缺乏)that grows every time we skim some extra minutes off our nightly sleep．―People accumulate sleep debt gradually without being noticed，‖says William C．Dement，founder of the Stanford University Sleep Clinic．Studies show that such short—term sleep deprivation leads to a foggy brain，worsened vision，and trouble remembering. Long-term effects include obesity，insulin(胰岛素)resistance, and heart disease.A survey by the National Sleep Foundation reports that we’re losing one hour of sleep each night一一more than two full weeks of sleep every year.

The good news is that，like all debt, with some work，sleep debt can be repaid. Adding an extra hour or two of sleep a night is the way to catch up．For the long—term lack of sleep，take it easy for a few months to get back into a natural sleep pattern．

Go to bed when you are tired，and allow your body to wake you in the morning(no alarm clock allowed)．You may find yourself catatonic(有紧张症的)in the beginning of the recovery cycle：expect to have ten hours shut-eye per night. As the days pass, however，the amount of sleeping time will gradually decrease.

So earn back that lost sleep——and follow the dictates of your innate(固有的)sleep needs. You’ll feel better．―When you put away sleep debt,you become a superman，‖says Stanford’s Dement,talking about the improved mental and physical capabilities that come with being well rested．

51．If you have short—term sleep deprivation, ____________. A．you can think and remember things clearly B．you can still see everything very clearly C．you can drive your car easily D．you may have a poor sight

52．The example of sleep math is used to show____________ A．in what case you build up a sleep debt B．why you need six hours’ sleep every night

C．why you are full of energy even when you don’t haye enoug sleep

D．you should drink coffee to keep energetic when you don’t have enough sleep 53．The author begins Paragraph 3 with ____________. A．an order B．a story C．a definition D．an example

54．By saying the undedined sentence in the last paragraph，Dement means ____________ A．a superman always needs a lot of sleep

B．you will be in a good state with enough sleep

C．you can become superman after you repay your debt

D．You will become superman if you don’t make up for sleep debt 55．What might be the most suitable title for the passage? A．Can you catch up on lost sleep? B．How can you keep energetic? C．Can you have a good sleep? D．What is sleep debt?

The International Coast Clean-up is an organization that is set up to help the environment in the worid，especially the areas near the waters．Recently，more than a half-million vulunteers are taking part in an international movement to comb the world’s shorelines for cigarette butts, bottle caps and any other rubbish they can find．

The Intematiohal Coast Clean-up is in its 14th volunteers ready to collect more than 10 million pieces of rubbish along 19,308 kilometers of shoreline in 70 countries．

Sponsored(赞助)by the Centre for Marine Conservation and several other non—profit(非盈利的) groups and corporate sponsors, the activity is a one-day attempt to improve conditions on important waterfronts.

Cigarette butts are by far the most common item, with exactly 1.6 million picked up and counted in the last year’s clean-up．They were followed in numbers by food wrappers，plastic pieces，bottle caps and broken pieces of glass．The global event is held on the third Saturday of September． Last year，the biggest volunteer army was in the Philippines，where nearly 300,000 people took part in the clean-up．With more than 7,000 islands，the Philippines is among the countries which have the largest shorelines．

―Around every main body of water，we have a rubbish problem，‖said Sheavly，director of the Center for rubbish problem．Bad weather with some hurricane affected some plans，but thousands of volunteers were ready to go，she said．

About 20,000 divers are joining to clean up offshore rubbish，with major underwater efforts in the United States，the Philippines，Germany，Italy，Australia，Venezuela and EI Salvador． Globally, less than 20 percent of shore rubbish clearly comes from the water. The most appears to come from land sourees.

Part of the effort is counting the rubbish．Volunteers carry cards to recond their collections，which will be piled and used for studies of how to settle the problem year-round. 56．What is the International Coast Clean-up set up for? (Within 20 words)

A possible version:

According to a recent survey，about 25 percent of college students have a part-time job.During summer vacation，this figure will increase to 72 percent．College students are working as tutors，waiters or salesmen.

Why do they want part-time jobs? First，they want to earn money to help cover theincreasingly higher college tuition． Second,they hope to be economically independent and buy whatever they want．

In my opinion，by doing part-time jobs，college students can gain some society experience and broaden their outlook．What’s more，part-time jobs can provide them with a valuable chance/opportunity to know the outside world．So it’s of great significance for college students to do part-time jobs．
