The cost of raising a child from birth to age 18 is about $ 160,140! That doesn't even touch college tuition. For those with kids, this figure might lead them thinking how much they could have banked. For others, that number might confirm the decision to remain childless.

But $ 160,140 isn't so bad if you break it down. It translates into $ 8 >896. 66 a year, $ 741. 38 a month, or $171. 08 a week. That's a mere $24. 44 a day! Just over a dollar an hour.

? Naming rights.

? Giggles under the covers every night. ? More love than your heart can hold. ? Kisses and hugs.

? Endless wonder over rocks, ants, clouds, and warm cookies. ? A hand to hold usually covered with jam.

? A partner for blowing bubbles, flying kites, and building sandeastles.

For $ 160,140, you never have to grow up! You get to finger-paint, carve pumpkins, play hide-and-seek, and never stop believing in Santa Claus. You have an excuse to keep reading the Adventures of Piglet and Pooh, watching cartoons , going to Disney movies, and wishing on stars.

For $ 160,140, you get to be a hero just for taking the training wheels off the bike, and coaching a baseball team that never wins but always gets treated to ice cream regardless.

You get a front row seat to history; to witness the first step, first word, first date, and first time behind the wheel.

You get to be immortal(不朽的)

You get another branch added to your family tree.

You get an education in nursing, criminal justice and communications that no college can match.

In the eyes of a child, you rank right up there with God.

You have all the power to correct a mistake, scare away the monsters under the bed, patch a broken heart, police a party, and love them without limits, so one day they will, like you, love without counting the cost.

Israel has passed a law banning the use of underweight models in advertising. Known as the \”, it also requires that agencies tell their audience if they've digitally changed pictures to make models look thinner.

The new law prohibits the use of models with a body mass index of 18. 5 or less, a designation based on internationally accepted measures. The figure matches the set of fixed limits by the U. S. Department of Health.

The law doesn't set a money amount that can be gained in court from such a suit. Lawmakers realize that it may be a long and difficult process to prove in court that a company broke the new law, but they feel that simply having the law in place will accomplish what they want; stopping advertising companies from continuing to influence Israelis with images of unhealthy-looking models as the gold standard of beauty.

Some modeling agencies in Israel aren't happy.

They say that the indexes on which the law is based are arbitrary and are not appropriate for every model. Many models who are totally healthy girls might be disqualified because of the law. Some models are naturally thin and unable to gain weight and the new law would unfairly prevent them from finding jobs.

A. Banning the use of underweight models. B. Banning underweight models in advertising. C. Banning changing pictures digitally. D. Banning models in advertising.

61. The underlined word \ .

A. a set of clothing B. a group of rooms C. an action in court D. a fitness to the case

62. What can we know from the passage?

A. All models are happy about the law.

B. All advertising agencies are happy about the law. C. The law makes no sense.

D. There are arguments over the beauty standard of models.

A unique thermo-solar power station Germasolar in southern Spain can work even on cloudy days: energy stored when the sun shines lets it produce electricity even during the night.

It is the first solar power station in the world that works 24 hours a day! This is how it works: the panels reflect the sun's rays onto the tower, transmitting energy 1,000 times stronger than that of the sun's rays reaching the earth. Energy is stored in tanks, and then steam is produced before finally turned into electricity.

It is the station's capacity to store plenty of energy that makes Gemasolar so different because it allows the plant to transmit power during the night, relying on energy it has gained during the day.

Helped by the generous state aid, renewable energies have enjoyed a boom in Spain, the world number two in solar energy and the biggest wind power producer in Europe, ahead of Germany.

For the Gemasolar solar product, foreign investors helped too: Torresol Energy is a joint enterprise between the Spanish engineering group Sener, which holds 60 percent, and Abu Dhabi-financed renewable energy firm Masdar.

This type of station is expensive, not because of the raw material we use, which is free solar energy, but because of the enormous investment these plants require. The investment cost is over 200 million euros ($ 260 million). But the day when the business has repaid that money to the banks (maybe, in 18 years, someone estimates), this station will become a 1,000-euro note printing machine!

For now, the economic crisis has nevertheless cast a shadow over this kind of project: Spain is battling to cut its deficit (赤字) as it slides into a difficult time and has cancelled aid to new renewable energy projects.

63. Which of the following pictures most probably shows how the thermo-solar power station

works?

64. What is NOT the reason for this power station being unique?

A. It is the first solar power station which costs over 200 million euros. B. It is the first solar power station in the world working around the clock. C. It even works well when it is cloudy. D. Its capacity to store energy is large. 65. What makes Germasolar expensive?

A. The cost to build such a station. B. The raw material used. C. The debt owed to the bank. D. Being a euro note printing machine. 66. What can we learn from the passage?

A. Spain is building more energy projects.

B. The Spanish government will aid renewable energy projects. C. The Spanish government ignores the development of this project. D. Germasolar will make fortunes in the future.

The art of reading fiction is largely a matter of inferring meanings. To INFER means to understand facts which are not directly stated —only suggested. Inference is one of the commonest ways of knowing things: a child holds his knee and cries; this action IMPLIES his feeling; aji observer INFERS that the child hurt. To infer accurately in everyday life requires caution in observing; to infer skillfully in fiction requires caution in reading; both require disciplined imagination.

The short-story reader can expect to find certain basic elements in any story. For example, all stories involve a person or persons, in a particular setting, faced with a demand for a response. The

response called for may be a physical action, such as defeating an adversary (对手) or escaping from a danger; or it may be a mental action, such as adjusting to others or within oneself. In either case, the short story is a description in two ways: first, it shows the motives for a given, human action; second, it makes a point about the general human situation. Such descriptions, however, rather than being stated directly, usually are implied by the elements of the story.

When the reader of a story understands all the facts and their interrelationships, he is ready to infer the significance of the story as a whole — its comment on the human situation. This comment, or THEME, is the seed from which the story grew. It is also the idea by which all the separate elements of the story are governed, while these in turn further shape and modify the theme. In addition to action, character, and setting, these elements include structure, mood, tone, and point of view.

Fiction reading requires an awareness of all the ways in which a story communicates. It also requires attention to detail. What the author provides is a network of points which serve as clues to his meaning. He invites the\the story himself and so make it part of his own experience.

67. According to the author, \

A. knowing facts beyond the statement B. looking for more evidences for the statement C. finding out a different meaning from the statement D. adding some facts to the statement S8.

What is inferring in fiction based on?

A. Readers' guessing.

B. The basic elements of the story. C. The setting of the story.

D. The interrelationships between people in the story. 69. What is the implied meaning of the last sentence?

A. Inferring can really help the reader develop imagination and enrich himself. B Inferring can help the reader write a story of his own.

C. The reader should look for an experience described in the story he reads.

D.The experience described in the story will leave a great impact on its reader.

70. What is the main idea of this passage?

A. Inferring is an art of writing. B. Inferring is a need in fiction writing. C. Inferring is the basic skill in reading fiction. D. Inferring is common in reading.

Aspirin

Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) has been used for many years as a painkiller. It also has an anti-inflammatory (消炎) action and can be used to reduce fever. Aspirin is already recommended for people to prevent stroke and heart attack because it improves one's blood circulation. So many people already take daily aspirin as a heart drug. Although aspirin can cause deadly internal bleeding, which is relatively rare, its benefits for people are great, not only to help increase the length of people's lives, but to prevent and treat cancer, or to stop cancer spread according to the latest research.

Taking a low dose (剂量) of aspirin every day can prevent and possibly even treat cancer, fresh evidence suggests. Prof. Peter Rothwell, from Oxford University, and his colleagues, who carried out the latest work, had already linked aspirin with a lower risk of certain cancers, particularly bowel（肠） cancer. But their previous work suggested people needed to take the drug for about 10 years to get any protection. Now the protective effect occurs much sooner—within three to five years—based on a new analysis of data from 51 trials involving more than 77,000 patients. And aspirin appears not only to reduce the risk of developing many different cancers in the first place, but may also stop cancers spreading around the body.

Taking a low (75 — 300mg) daily dose of aspirin appeared to cut the total number of cancer cases by 25 % after only three years—there were nine cancer cases per 1,000 each year in the aspirin-taking group, compared with 12 per 1,000 for those taking dummy pills. It also reduced the risk of a cancer death by 15% within five years (and sooner if the dose was higher than 300mg). And if patients stayed on aspirin for longer, their cancer death risk went down even further—by 37% after five years.

Low-dose aspirin also appeared to reduce the probability that cancers, particularly bowel, would spread to other parts of the body, and by as much as half in some instances. However, Prof. Rothwell says for most fit and healthy people, the most important things they can do to reduce their lifetime cancer risk is to give up smoking, take exercise and- have a healthy diet.

But experts warn that there is still not enough proof to recommend it to prevent cancer cases and deaths and warn that the drug can cause dangerous side effects like stomach bleeding. Prof. Peter Johnson of Cancer Research UK, along with other experts, said it was still a good idea that people thinking of taking aspirin should first consult their doctors because of the possible side effect. And people should get some decisive advice from the government as to whether aspirin should be recommended more widely and the government should also advise the public about the benefits and risks of aspirin.

In recent years some universities have put a series of weird questions to the applicants in their interviews of the independent enrollment, causing a stir among the students and society. They have sharply divided opinions.
