Aspirin (阿司匹林) is one of the safest and most effective drugs invented by man, and the most popular medicine in the world today. It is an effective pain reliever. Its bad effects are relatively mild, and it is cheap.

Aspirin is truly the 20th century wonder drug. It is also the second largest suicide drug and is the leading cause of poisoning among children. It has side effects that, although relatively mild,

are largely unrecognized among users.

Although aspirin was first sold by a German company in 1899, it has been around much longer than that. During the 19th century, there was a great deal of experimentation in Europe with this chemical, and it led to the introduction of aspirin. By 1915, aspirin tablets were available in the United States.

A small quantity of aspirin relieves pain. It also reduces fever by interfering with some of the body?s reactions. Specifically, aspirin seems to slow down the formation of the acids involved in pain and complex reactions that cause fever.

Aspirin is very irritating to the stomach. There is a right way and a wrong way to take aspirin. The best way is to chew the table before swallowing them with water, but few people can stand the bitter tastes. Some people suggest crushing the tablets in milk or orange juice and drinkingthat. 81.

A well-balanced life is necessary to live in today?s world. Without a well-balanced life a person can neither function properly nor develop into a well-rounded individual. Without some sort of balance in life people tend to be unfulfilled and unhappy.

I?ve experienced great stress in my study and work. And I?ve tried every means to adjust myself and relieve my stress. Finally I found a way out in my leisure time. Leisure time is very important and necessary for me. Without it I am sure I would go insane. I spent most of my extra time reading, listening to music, talking to my real life friends, or talking on the Internet with people I meet. I really enjoy going out into a quiet place and reading poetry or books by Walt Whitman and Robert Frost. If I did not make time for all of this I would not be able to handle everything else in life. Along with reading to relax, listening to music is very important to me. If I feel sad, I listen to slow songs, while if I am happy I like listening to fast songs. Music is the universal language and it can express different feeling. It can relate to the soul, or in fact I think it is the soul of feeling.

My real life friends and my Internet friends are also part of my leisure and social time. Friends have always been important to me. They are the backbone in everything I do. The good friends that I have are always there for me in every situation I am in. Without them I would not have led a healthy, balanced life. Not so long ago I went through a short time of depression. I feel behind in all my work and stopped talking to my friends. After a week of acting this way, one of my good friends pulled me aside and invited me to go for a walk with her. We talked about what was going on in my life and she helped me to figure out what I wanted to do. I do not know what would have happened if she had not been there.

Many things add to having a well-balanced life. Stress can be a very dangerous and tiresome experience. It can lead to depression and unhappiness. But when it happens, you can do something other than wait, like talking to your friends or listening to music. Then you may not think you should have been so stressed and depressed.

A well-balanced life is important to maintain. Without some sort of balance it is hard to get

by in everyday life. And the creative use of leisure time plays a vital role. 86. What does the author mainly tall us in the passage?

A. A well-balanced life is easy to have in today?s world. B. She has experienced great stress in her study and work. C. Satisfying work is crucial to having a well-balanced life. D. Leisure time plays a vital role in maintaining a well-balanced life.

87. What does the author mean by saying “Finally I found a way out in my leisure time”?

A. She found leisure time could help relieve her stress and maintain a well-balanced life. B. She found a way to enjoy herself in her leisure time. C. She got to know how to spend her leisure time.

D. She came to understand what “a well-balanced life” means. 88. When does the author listen to slow music?

A. When she is happy. C. When she is sad.

B. When she is lonely. D. When she is trying to work.

89. How important are good friends to the author?

A. The usually help her lift the physical burden with their strong backbone. B. They support her in everything she does and help her in every situation she is in. C. They often pull her aside and invite her to go for a walk. D. They will do everything that she wants them to do.

90. What main suggestion does the author give us in the passage on how to relieve stress?

A. Talking to friends. C. Reading poetry. Passage 3

Read roses were her favorites, her name was also Rose. And every year, her husband sent them, tied with pretty bows. The year he passed away, the roses were delivered to her door. The enclosed card said, “Be My Valentine,” like all the years before.

Each year he sent her roses, the notes would always say, “I love you even more this year than I last year on this day”. Or “My love for you will always grow with each passing year.” The year he passed away, she was sure it was the last time that the roses would appear on her front door.

She thought he must have ordered the roses in advance before this day. Her loving husband

did not know that he would die. He always liked to do things very promptly, long before the deadline. In this way, if he was occupied, everything would still work out appropriately.

She trimmed the stems, and inserted them symbolically in a very special vase. She would sit for hours, in her husband?s favorite chair while staring blankly at his photograph and the roses sitting there.

A year went by and it wad difficult to endure without her mate. With loneliness and solitude, that tragedy has become her fate. The, at that identical hour, as on Valentines Day before, the doorbell rang and there were red roses sitting by her door.

She brought the roses in and then just looked at them in astonishment. Then, she went to get the telephone and called the florist who had delivered the roses. The owner answered and she asked him if he would explain why someone would unexpectedly do this to her, provoking such intense pain?

“I know your husband passed away more than a year age,” the owner said. “I knew you?d call and you would want to know,” he proceeded. “The flowers you received today, were paid for in advance. Your husband always planned ahead, he left nothing to chance.”

“There is a standing purchase and delivery order that I have on file down here. And he has paid, well in advance, so you?ll get them every year. There is also another thing that I think you should know. He wrote a special little card, which he did several years ago.

“Then should I ever find out that he is no longer around, that?s the card that should be sent to you the following year.” She thanked him and hung up the phone, her tears now flowing hard. Her fingers were shaking, as she haltingly reached to get the card.

Inside the card, she saw that he had written a note. As she stared in absolute silence, this was what he wrote…

“Hello my love, I know it?s been a year since I?ve departed. I loved you more than words can say. You were the perfect wife and the ideal companion. You were my friend and lover. You fulfilled my every need.”

“When you get these roses, think of all the happiness that we had together and how both of us were blessed to have each other. The roses will come every land they will only stop when your door?s not answered, when the florist stops to deliver and knock on the door.”

“He will come five times that day, in case you should be out. But after his last visit, he will

know without a doubt, to take the roses to the place where I?ve instructed him, and place the roses

where we are, together once again.”

封the whole retail market grew by 10.1 percent. Shanghai Hua Lian Supermarket Company holds the top position with 14.06 billion Yuan (US$1.7 billions) in sales and 1,225 retail stores.

线The statistics indicate that the biggest stores are swallowing more market share, leaving little

内密封线内不要答题 development space for medium and small stores, said analysts. Analysts also note that almost all the giant chains have their headquarters in East China, but they are likely to explore western regions in the near future. With China?s entrance into the WTO, its market is attracting overseas retailers too. The country is committed to opening gradually its retail business, and as a result more chain stores from outside China will have a share of the pie. Successful domestic retailers are preparing to battle for market share.

Passage 5

Someone said to a man, “Travel and see the world.” He answered, “Why should I? People are the same everywhere. They are born. They are babies. They are children. They are adults. They

grow old. They die. They have the same feelings. They feel love and hate, happiness and sadness, security and fear, pride and shame. That is why I do not want to travel. I can learn everything here. I?m going to stay home.”

The man was right. He was also wrong, people are the same, but people are also different. They all have the same pattern of life - birth, youth, old age, death. But these stages of life have different values in different cultures. Also, while all people have the same feelings, the causes of these feelings are different. A situation that may bring happiness in one place may not bring happiness in another place.

For example, in many countries old age is a happy time. Young people in these countries show respect to the old people. In Korea, old people are honored and respected. When they are too old to live alone, they live with a son, daughter, or other relatives. When they become sixty-one years old, it is a very happy and important event. There is a big party with many guests. They receive many gifts. When people reach this time in life, the attitudes of their family and their community change toward them. Everyone looks forward to this time.

In the United States, it is quite different for old people. Most old people do not live with their children or relatives. For many North Americans, old age is not a happy time. Most North Americans want to stay young. They try to act like young people as long as possible. They even try to speak the language of the young. They do not like to grow old because they will not get honor or respect or attention. Also, businesses do not want old people to work for them. So, old people usually live alone and they do not have many things to do. Old age can be a sad and lonely time for them.

101.The reason why the man did not have the intention of traveling was that__________. A. he thought he already knew about people in other places B. he was too old to travel any more

C. he could not understand people in other countries since he was deaf D. he preferred to stay home to enjoy his leisure time 102. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. People all over the world are the same, but they are also different. B. Different values are reflected in different stages of life in different cultures. C. People react differently to the same situation.

D. The reasons for the same feelings are also the same in different cultures. 103. In Korea, people____________.

A. think being young is the same as being old B. are afraid of old age C. are longing for old age D. value their youth most 104. Compared with American old people, the old in Korea ________________.

A. enjoy living alone and supporting themselves B. can lead an honored and respected life C. can act like the young D. are not respected and do not receive due attention 105. The word \

A. managers B. consumers C. shops or factories D. busy people

Passage 6

There are many different cultures in the world, and in each of them the children must learn a great many things that are expected of everyone who shares the culture. Indeed the children begin to learn them before their linguistic skills are far enough developed to understand a verbal description for what they are learning. This kind of learning has sometimes been called ?imitation?, but that is much too simple an explanation for the complex processes that go on when a child learns what is normal and expected in his own community. Most of the rules are communicated to the child non-verbally, and he adapts to them as if no other possibilities existed. They are as much a part of him as his own body.; he would no more question the fact that he has two hands and two feet, but only one head.
