Mr. Paul was a professor of medicine, who was very strict with the students. Whenever Mr. Paul took the chair on the exam committee, the students would be in fear, because he was seldom pleased with the answers they gave. A student would be lucky enough if he or she could receive a good mark from him. At the end of the term, the students of medicine would take their exam again. Now a student entered the exam room and got seated before the committee. This student was a little nervous as he knew it would not be so easy to get through the exam at all. Mr. Paul began to ask. The student was required to describe a certain illness, his description of which turned out to be OK.

Then Mr. Paul asked about the cure for the illness, and the student, too, answered just as right. \ \ \you may go out and wait for what you can get.\said Mr. Paul. At the same time the committee discussed carefully the answers the student had given. Suddenly the student noticed that there was something wrong with his last answer. \Anxiously he opened the door of the room and cried, “Mr. Professor, I've made a mistake!

I will tell a story about a man and a woman who live in the same neighborhood. The woman is interested in the man. She uses many methods to catch his eye, or to get him to notice her. Once he sets eyes on her, or sees her, she might try to get him interested in her by being playful. In other words, she might try to make eyes at him or give him the eye.

Let us suppose that this man gets hit between the eyes. In other words, the woman has a strong effect on him. He wants to spend time with her to get to know her better. He asks her out on a date. She is so happy that she may walk around for days with stars in her eyes. She is extremely happy because this man is the apple of her eye. On their date, the couple might eat a meal together at a restaurant. If the man is really hungry, his eyes might be bigger than his stomach. He might order more food than he can eat. When his food arrives at the table, his eyes might pop out. He might not even believe his own eyes when he sees the amount of food provided.

During their dinner, the couple might discuss many things. They might find that they see eye to eye. For example, they might agree that every crime or injury should be punished. That is, they strongly believe in the idea of an eye for an eye. They might also agree that it is wrong to pull the wool over a person's eyes. This means to try to trick a person by making him believe something that is false.

Baseball is as American as apple pie and country music. And if you're vacationing in a U S city with a professional baseball team, there is no better way to spend a summer afternoon or evening than at a baseball game with the kids. Not only does the baseball outing offer families an affordable experience that recalls a simpler time, it engages kids in one of America's favorite pastimes. Whether watching their favorite team or viewing a baseball game for the first time, your kids will quickly be cheering with the crowd.

There is more to a family outing at the ballpark than the game on the field. Each year Major League Baseball clubs offer a variety of specials, promotions and giveaways to attract young fans and their families to the ballpark. From bobble-head player figurines, player T-shirts ,hats, trading cards, lunchboxes and more, teams are eagerly handing out fun and free stuff at the gate ( usually to kids 14 and under). Many clubs with open-air parks have regularly scheduled fireworks displays and some allow kids to run the bases after select games.

While the price of tickets to Major League Baseball games has increased in recent years, baseball is still the most affordable professional sport in America to see live. And thanks to tiered (层级的) pricing, you can pay as little as US $ 5 for bleacher seats or as much as US $ 110 for the best seats in the park. Many ballparks feature family sections, in less expensive areas which prohibit the consumption of alcohol. And although adults may prefer the perspective available from seats close to the field, the crowd rather than the location is likely to define the experience for the kids.

Minor League Baseball, readily available in many small towns and cities across the United States, is another option for families. In addition to being a less expensive way for a family to enjoy America's favorite pastime, minor league games typically offer a more intimate fan experience. The parks are smaller and fans often have access to the players. 58. Why are you advised to spend time at a baseball game with the kids? A. It costs little to watch a baseball game. B. Baseball games are very attractive to kids.

C. You can experience one of America's favorite pastimes. D. You can taste apple pies at the same time.

59. Why do baseball club offer specials, promotions and giveaways? A. To thank fans for their support. B. To ask fans to cheer for them. C. To entertain the fans.

D. To attract people to the ballpark.

60.Baseball is still the most affordable professional sport in America to see live because .

A. there are clubs in almost every city B. many ballparks feature family sections

C. people don't need to pay much to see a game D. it has a special pricing system

61. What do kids care about most during a baseball game? A. The crowd. B. Price of the game.

C. Baseball stars. D. Location of the field.

Nowadays it is a trend in China to buy things looking nice, especially when people decide to buy something as a gift for their friends. Doing so has automatically triggered a rapid development in packaging industry, but also caused a huge waste in our national resources.

A good example is to buy a bag of Chinese tea. The tea itself may cost more than 500 CNY but it includes nearly 200 CNY, for the package. Does it mean high quality when you buy goods in an attractive case? The answer is \really good and the other 50% of the chance is to buy something crap or fake. One of my friends bought a bottle of Maotai for l800 CNY, \water in it in front of his invited guests. It is crazy.

6

Things have become so expensive and so well packed that many companies produce fake products, playing the same trick. We should criticize the manufacturers that produce crap and fake goods, but should those companies that charge their customers a large amount of money just for the package be praised? No. As customers, we need to think about the question: why do we have to chase the superficial things when we buy things? Why do we have to buy friends expensive gifts? Are a notebook computer, an iPhone and electronics really something we have to buy as gifts to someone? Can we not change our ways to show our love to our beloved ones just with an item suitable instead of telling them how much it is worth? If we make statistics in our population, it is easy to find out that 99% of the people would express their hatred for bribery and corrupted officials. However, how many of us have ever asked ourselves a question like \What have I done in the past year that has promoted corruptions in our country?\

62. Through the second example in Paragraph 2, the author wants to indicate that . A. buying things looking nice is a good choice

B. things with good package don't necessarily mean good quality C. some companies charge customers too much money for the package D. his f'riends are angry to the fake Maotai.

63. Which of the following word is similar to the underlined word “crap”? A. rubbishy B. valuable C expensive D rotten

64. Which may be the best choice when we buy something for our beloved ones? A. An electronic product.

B. Something best suitable to show our love. C. An expensive and good-looking gift. C. A bag of Chinese tea.

65. Which of the following statements is the author probably in favor of? A. A great number of people have done many things related to corruption. B. To choose presents, we should pay much attention to superficial things. C. There is a minority of people hating bribery.

D. Many companies play different tricks to promote the sales of their fake products.

It's hard now because there's a shortage of staff.”

Jackie has lived alone in Grays, Essex, since her husband died three years ago. ' The couple have two daughters Michelle, 50, and Karen, 54.
