But why is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map, while others can lose themselves in the next street?Scientists say were all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly understood how it works. One theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it. Research carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we dont use it, we lose it.“Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around.” says Jim Martland. Research Director of the project, “However, if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they never develop the skills”Jim Martland also emphasizes that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction. He makes the following suggestions.If you are using a map ,turn it so it relates to the way you are facing.If you leave your bike in a strange place ,put it near something like a big stone or a tree. Note landmarks on the route as you go away from your bike .When you return, go back along the same route.Simplify the way of finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town, streams, or walls in the countryside to guide you. Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks such as tower blocks or hills which can help to find out where you are.Now you need never get lost again!56Scientists believe that _.Asome babies are born with a sense of directionBpeople learn a sense of direction as they grow olderCeverybody posses a sense of direction from birthDpeople never lose their sense of direction 57What is true of seven-year-old children according to the passage according to Jim Martland?AThey never have a sense of direction without maps.BThey should never be allowed out alone if they lack a sense of direction.CThey can develop a good sense of direction if they are driven around in a car.DThey have a sense of direction and can find their way around.58If you leave your bike in a strange place, you should _.Aremember something easily recognizable on the routeBdraw a map of the route to help remember where it is Cavoid taking the same route when you come back in it Dtie it to a tree so as to prevent it from being stolen59According to the passage the best way to find your way around is to _.Aask policemen for directionsBuse walls, streams, and streets to guide yourself Cremember your route by looking out for steps and stairs Dcount the number of landmarks that you see BAll over the world, children in hospital are being treated with a new kind of medicine: laughter. Lucy is 23 and works for Theodora Childrens Trust. She is one of many clown（小丑）doctors who bring a smile to the faces of sick children.“Im a Theodora clown doctor. I call myself Dr Looloo. I spend two days a week in childrens hospitals, making funny faces, telling jokes, and doing magic tricks. As I walk into the wards I blow bubbles, shake hands with the kids, and make up nonsense songs for those children well enough to sing. I take special balloons to make balloon animals and tell funny stories about them.Im naturally a very cheerful person. Ive always been a clown. In fact my fathers a clown and I started working with him when I was eight year old. I knew it was just the job for me and I became a clown doctor because I think its a great way to cheer up sick, frightened children in hospital. Being a clown in hospital is very tiring both physically and emotionally. We have to learn not to show our feelings, otherwise wed be useless. Clown doctors are sensitive but this is not a side most people see. To the children were happy all the time. Im still learning to allow myself to feel sad occasionally. There are special kids you get really close to. At the moment Im working with a very sick little girl from Bosnia who speaks no English, so our only common language is laughter.At weekends I participate in events to raise money for Theodora Childrens Trust. Its a charity, so we are paid with the money people give. Being a clown doctor makes the worries of everyday life seem small. All in all, I feel honored to do this job.60Lucy works as a clown doctor because .Aher father is a clownBshe has been a clown since she was eightCworking in hospital brings her extra moneyDlaughter is a great help to sick children 61What do clown doctors usually do in hospital?ATeach kids how to speak English.BDevelop kids sense of humour.CJoin in activities to raise money.DCheer kids up with funny stories.62Lucy thinks that being a clown doctor is .Aan honorable and meaningful practiceBan interesting job to make a livingCa good way of getting rid of her worriesDan experience of great funCAt present, Specialization has become an increasing important factor in a great many careers. You find these careers in engineering, in production, in statistical work, and in teaching. But there is an increasing demand for people who are able to take in a great area at a glance, people who perhaps do not know too much about any one field. There is, in other words, a demand for people who are capable of seeing the forest rather than the trees, of making general judgments. We can call these people “generalists”. And these “generalists” are particularly needed for positions in administration, where it is their job to see that other people do the work, where they have to plan for other people, to organize other peoples work, to begin it and judge it.The specialist understands one field; his concern is with technique and tools. He is a “trained” man; and his educational background is properly technical or professional(专业化的). The generalists and especially the administrator deal with people; his concern is with leadership, with planning, and with direction giving. He is an “educated” man; and the humanities are his strongest foundation. Very rarely is a specialist capable of being an administrator. And very rarely is a good generalist also a good specialist in a particular field. Any organization needs both kinds of people, though different organizations need them in different proportions(比率). It is your task to find out, during your training period, into which of the two kinds of jobs you fit, and to plan your career accordingly.Your first job may turn out to be the right job for you but this is pure accident. Certainly you should not change jobs constantly or people will become doubtful about your ability to hold any job. At the same time, you must not look upon the first job as the final job; it is primarily a training job, an opportunity to understand yourself and your fitness for being an employee.63. Nowadays, there is an increasing demand for _.A. people whose educational background is either technical or professional B. people whose job is to organize other peoples workC. all-round people in their own fieldsD. specialists whose chief concern is to provide administrative guidance to others64. The administrator is _.A. a “trained” man who is more a specialist than a generalistB. a man who sees the trees as well as the forestC. a man who is an “educated” specialistD. a man who is very strong in the humanities65. During your training period, it is important _.A. to try to be a generalistB. to choose a profitable jobC. to find an organization which fits youD. to decide whether you are fit to be a specialist or a generalist66. A mans first job _.A. is never the right job for him.B. should not be regarded as his final jobC. is primarily an opportunity to fit himself for his final jobD. should not be changed for fear of others suspicionDThey like using the Internet. They have lots of pocket money to spend. And they spend a higher proportion(比率) of it online than the rest of us. Teenagers are just the sort of people an online seller is interested in, and the things they want to buygames, CDs and clothingare easily sold on the Web.But paying online is a tricky business for consumers who are too young to own credit cards. Most have to use a parents card. They want a facility(设备) that allows them to spend money.That may come sooner than they think: new ways to take pocket money into cyber (网络的) space are coming out rapidly on both sides of the Atlantic. If successful, these products can encourage online sales.In general, teenagers spend huge amounts: $153bn (billion) in the US last year and 20bn annually in the UK. Most teenagers have access to the Internet at home or at school88 percent in the US, 69 percent in the UK. According to the Jupiter Research, one in eight of those with Internet access has bought something onlinemainly CDs and books.In most cases, parents pay for these purchases with credit cards, an arrangement that is often unsatisfactory for them and their children. Pressing parents to spend online is less productive than pressing on the high street. They are more likely to ask “Why?” if you ask to spend some money online.One way to help teenagers change notes and coins into cybercash（电子货币/虚拟货币） is through prepaid cards such as InternetCash in the US and Smart cards in the UK. Similar to those for pay-as-you-go mobile telephones, they are sold in amounts such as 20 or $50 with a concealed 14-digit number that can be used to load the cash into an online account.67.What does the word “They” in paragraph 1 refer to?A. SellersB. BuyersC. Parents D. Teenagers68.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Teenagers pay for goods online with their own credit cards.B. More than half of the teenagers in the US and the UK have Internet access. C. Most teenagers in the US and the UK have bought something online.D. Teenagers found it easier to persuade parents to buy online than in a shop.69.A new way to help teenagers shop online is to use _.A. prepaid cardsB. special coins and notesC. a new machine D. pay-as-you-go mobile phones70.What is the passage mainly about?A. Online shopping traps.B. Internet users in the US and the UK.C. New credit cards for parents.D. The arrival of cyber pocket money.E Twenty-first century mankind has mapped oceans and mountains, visited the moon, and surveyed the planets. But for all the progress, people still dont know one another very well.That brings about Theodore Zeldins “feast of conversation”-events where individuals pair with persons they dont know for three hours of guided talk designed to get the past “Where are you from?”Mr. Zeldin, an Oxford University professor, heads Oxford Muse, a 10-year-old foundation based on the idea that what people need is not more information, but more inspiration and encouragement.The “feast” in London looks not at politics or events, but at how people have felt about work, relations among the sexes, hopes and fears, enemies and authority, the shape of their lives. The “menu of conversation” includes topics like “How have your priorities(优先考虑的事) changed over the ye
