She was depressed. She thought she could never overcome her troubles, so she decided to end her life. That night she went to sleep early and she planned to commit suicide the next morning. But that night she had a dream She found herself in a large cave, surrounded by gray bundles (包袱) of all shapes and sizes. Walking toward her was a woman with flowing long white hair. “Who are you?” asked the dreamer, “and what is this place?” “This is the cave of bundles of troubles and I am the keeper of the cave.” “Bundles of troubles?” “Yes,” the keeper explained, “each person who walks on the earth carries a bundle of troubles on their left shoulder.” The dreamer turned to look and there was a gray bundle on her left shoulderit had been there all the time and she never noticed! “If you wish,” the keeper continued,” you can take your bundle down and exchange it for another.” “Really?” The woman lowered the bundle from her left shoulder. Oh, it felt so good to put it down. Then she picked up a beautiful bundle. The keeper said, “Why dont you open it and look inside?” So the woman opened it and looked inside. “But these are the same troubles I brought here!” The keeper of the cave smiled softly and nodded. “Thats usually what happens, but do not despair, for there is another bundle on your right shoulder that should help lighten your load.” The woman turned and saw another bundle on her right shoulder. It had been there all the time and she never noticed! The woman took it down and opened it. Inside were her talents, her gifts, her hopes and opportunities. The woman felt her heart filled with joy and she looked up to thank the keeper of the cave, but she was gone; all were gone. And she found herself sitting up in her own bed with the morning sun streaming through the window, shining on her face.56. Why did the woman decide to end her life? A.

She didnt want to end her life any more.B“You are going abroad and will live there? Oh, wonderful! You are so lucky.”Perhaps your family and friends said similar things to you when you left home. But is it true all the time? Is your life in the new country always wonderful and exciting?Specialists say that it isnt that easy to get used to life in a new culture. “Culture shock” (冲击) is the term specialists use when talking about the feelings that people have in a new environment. “There are three stages of culture shock,” say the specialists. In the first stage, the newcomers like their new environment. Then, when the fresh experience dies, they begin to hate the city, the country, the people, and everything else. In the last stage, the newcomers adapt to their surroundings and finally enjoy their life there. Culture shock arises from many obvious factors. The weather may be unpleasant. The customs may be different. The public service systems such as the telephone, post office, or transportation may be difficult to work out. Even the simplest things become headaches. Still worse, the language may be difficult.Who feels culture shock? Everyone does in this way or that. But culture shock surprises most people. Very often the people having the worst culture shock are those who never had any difficulties in their home countries and were successful in their community. Coming to a new country, these people find they do not have the same established positions. They find themselves without a role, almost without an identity. They have to build a new selfimage. A. find their new life always wonderful and exciting. B. dislike the new surroundings from the beginning. C. quickly get accustomed to the new culture there. D. will get used to the new life with certain difficulty.62. Based on the passage, which of the following results from culture shock? A. weather conditions and customs B. public service and transportation C. feeling homesick and disoriented D. language communication issues 63. According to the passage, the more successful you are at home, _. A. the fewer difficulties you will meet with abroad B. the more problems you may have to face abroad C. the greater success you are likely to make abroad D. the less homesick you will eventually feel abroad64. Which of the following statements is correct according to the passage? A. Cultural shock affects and surprises those who live in a new culture. B. A new culture makes everything difficult except the simplest things. C. Since culture shock is painful, we can never get over it completely. D. Escaping by staying inside does solve the problem of culture shock. CBack in the early 1900s, American physician Byron Robinson wrote a book proposing an interesting theory: humans actually have two brains - one in our heads and the other in our stomachs, and the two “communicate” all the time. Interestingly, in Chinese culture, thoughts are also related to the belly in phrases and idioms like fugao (腹稿, a draft), manfu jinglun (满腹经纶, a bellyful of ideas), and yiduzi weiqu (一肚子委屈, a bellyful of complaints). This may sound a little ridiculous at first. But try to think of a time when you were extremely nervous. Chances are that you also felt uncomfortable in your stomach, didnt you? This is probably why people use the idiom “butterflies in ones stomach” to refer to being nervous. Now scientists from Canada and the US have found that our guts (肠道), if not as bright as our actual brains, are much more than just where we digest the food we eat. They also affect our emotions and even behavior, all thanks to the bacteria in them, reported Scientific American. In the study, scientists fed timid mice stomach bacteria from mice that were more active and daring. After eating the bacteria, the timid mice grew more energetic and fearless. Sure enough, when bold mice got the bacteria from timid ones, they became more anxious. The mices behavior also changed when scientists disturbed the bacteria in their guts by changing their diets and feeding them antibiotics (抗生素). “If something goes wrong in the gut, that change is reflected in the brain,” Emeran Mayer, a professor at University of California, Los Angeles, told The Huffington Post.The brain-and-gut connection also works in the opposite way. Scientists studied children with autism (自闭症) - a mental illness that makes people unable to socialize with others - and found that they also have a lot of stomach problems. They have fewer types of stomach bacteria and lower totals of a few key bacteria than healthy children.This research raises the possibility that scientists could treat patients with brain problems simply by feeding them the right food, which would be much more efficient than providing psychological therapy (疗法).According to CBC News, you can get “good” bacteria that lift your spirits from food like yogurt while “bad” bacteria are usually in high fat and high sugar foods.65. What is the authors attitude toward Byron Robinsons theory of two human brains?A. Unsatisfied. B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Negative.66. The author mentioned the idiom “butterflies in ones stomach” in the second paragraph to _.A. describe the symptoms of nervousnessB. suggest a connection between our stomach and our emotionsC. hint at the danger of nervous feelingsD. encourage people to calm down and relax67. Whats the closest meaning of the underlined word “bold” in Paragraph 4? A. anxious B. fearless C. energetic D. sharp 68. According to the article, _.A. people with mental illnesses are more likely to have stomach problemsB. the use of antibiotics can turn timid mice into daring onesC. timid mice have fewer types of stomach bacteria than daring miceD. people must consider changing their diets when they feel anxious69. We can infer from the article that_.A. psychological therapy has never worked before for autistic childrenB. yogurt is the best solution for anxiety problemsC. high fat and high sugar foods are responsible for many mental diseasesD. diet changes can lead to mood changes DThere is no denying that over the years college education has been accepted without the slightest doubt. All high school graduates should go, says conventional wisdom and statistical evidence, because college will help them earn more, become “better” citizens and be more responsible than those who dont go.But college can never work its magic for everyone. Now with half our high school graduates attending college, those unfit for the pattern are getting more. College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis; college students interfere with each others experiments and write false letters of recommendation in the fierce competition for admission into graduate schools. Others find no stimulation (激励) in their studies, and consequently have to drop out, which is often encouraged by college administrators.Some observers say the fault lies with young people themselves - they are spoiled and expecting too much. But thats a condemnation (谴责)of the students as a whole, and doesnt explain all campus unhappiness. Others blame our society. Both are partly right. We have been told that young people have to go to college because our economy cant absorb an army of untrained eighteen-year-olds. But disappointed graduates are learning that it can no longer absorb an army of trained twenty-two-year-olds, either.Some campus watchers suggest that college may not be the best, the proper or the only place for every young person after finishing high school. It seems that through the rosy (玫瑰的) glow of our own college experiences, we may have been looking at those surveys and statistics upside down. Perhaps college does not make people intelligent, ambitious, happy, or quick to learn thingsmaybe it is just the other way around. Intelligent, ambitious, happy, quick-learning people are merely those who are attracted to college in the first place. And perhaps all those successful college graduates would have been successful even without college education. This is heresy (异端邪说) to those who have been brought up to believe that if a little schooling is good, more has to be much better. But contrary evidence is beginning to pile up.70. According to the first paragraph, _. A. people now no longer challenge college education B. people have great expectations for college education C. the author thinks youngsters should all go to college D. people still have a low opinion of college education71. More young people drop out of college because _. A. they are no longer mo
