He put a hand tohernow slightly round belly and asked,“What did the doctor say?”“He said the baby was fine and that I seemed healthy. Do you have any news?”“Surprisingly,yes.”Johnhesitated for a moment,asif deciding how he would phrase what he was about to say,and then unwillingly continued,“Ive been demanded to join the army.”Samscreamed,“What?” She was near tears. “But-but were just starting out.”Hervoice shook. “I thought that after two years of begging my mother to let the two of us get married our life would finally be happy. Isnt there any way you can get out of this?”Johnanswered, “Im afraid not.”“Please. Please,John,if you love me,please get out of this.

Theyll say, “This is my fate, my destiny. I cannot change it.” Of course not! You dont have to suffer needlessly. Your destiny depends on you, not on any other external factors. I know someone who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it. Guess what her lifestyle is? She wakes up in the morning, goes to work, es back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches TV, and then goes to sleep. Next day, the same routine cycle follows. Huh! Is this what she calls “doing her best”? She believes she has tried her best and just accepts it in her heart that this is the life that God has intended her to live; that her luck can only change if God wills it. Of course God wants us to be happy and live our life to the fullest, but we have to do our share of making the effort to live the life of our dreams. Remember that you reap what you sow. You just dont sit around and wait for a million dollars to fall from the sky. You have to get off the couch, get your eyes off the TV screen, and get your hands off the phone. Dont expect your luck to change unless you do something about it. If something goes wrong, dont just regard it as a temporary (暂时的) setback (挫折); but use it as feedback. Learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem. Its not enough to think positively; you also have to act positively. If someones life is in trouble, do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine? Of course not! You get to do anything you can to save the person. So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to do your best. In other words, dont just stand (or sit) there, do something to improve your life.56. According to the woman mentioned in Para.3, her life _.A. doesnt need improvingB. couldnt be improvedC. will be better some dayD. will be worse in the future57.

In Para.5, the author emphasized the importance of _.A. positive actionB. positive thinkingC. hope for the bestD. intention to succeed60. The text is mainly written to advise you to _.A. understand yourselfB. change your normal wayC. believe in yourselfD. improve your life(C) We each have a unique genetic (基因的, 遗传的) make-up. Every cell of your body has the same set of about 100,000 separate genes made of DNA. These are the instructions for producing a person. Genes decide everything from the colour of your skin to the way your brain works. You have one of several billion binations of DNA which e from the random mixing of your parents genes. Except for identical twins (同卵双胞胎), no one has the same bination as another person. You are unique! You are unique in another way too: in the way you are raised and all the experiences you have from before birth to adult life. These experiences influence you, your behaviour and attitudes, and the choices you make.But are genes or life experiences more important in shaping your appearance and personality? Scientists are studying twins to find out. One set of twins occurs every 70 birthssome are identical and others are non-identical twins. Identical twins are special because they share exactly the same genes and often the same environment. Non-identical twins are more like ordinary brothers and sisters.Some identical twins have been adopted and brought up in different homes. With identical genes but a different home environment, scientists can study twins to see how much a particular feature depends on the genes we inherit (继承，遗传所得). For example, we know that eye problems, like short-sightedness, are mostly genetic. But resistance (忍耐) to pain is largely dependent on experiences. Genes also influence our eating habits. Identical twins brought up apart often like to eat at the same time of day and feel full after eating the same amount. Non-identical twins in similar circumstances have more varied eating habits. Identical twins are also more likely to follow the same patterns for marriage and divorce than non-identical twins.Scientists are trying to identify the different genes that influence our behaviour. Some people are thrill-seekers and get into risk-taking (冒险) and adventurous activities. They take up extreme sports like bungee jumping and possibly take drugs. Scientists have discovered a gene which affects this.We could ask, “Are our lives determined by our genes or our upbringing?” Scientists are learning more all the time, but it is certainly true that both are important in making us who we are.61. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?A. We cannot easily change our physical appearance.B. Both our genes and our experiences make us who we are.C. Everyone has a physical double somewhere in the world.D. How we turn out depends on our parents genes.62. Why are scientists studying twins?A. To find out how many twins are born every year.B. To study brother-and-sister relationships.C. To discover what shapes us as individuals.D. To pare differences between twins.63. According to the passage, _.A. identical twins are genetically the same B. one in 70 twins are genetically identical C. twins separated at birth behave exactly the sameD. non-identical twins are usually not of the same sex64. Which of the following is most affected by experience according the passage?A. Eating habits. B. Marriage patterns.C. Eye-sight. D. Pain resistance.65. What does the underlined “this” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Our love of sport. B. Our skill at bungee jumping.C. Our attitude to risk-taking. D. Our ability to take drugs. (D)As South Africa starts to celebrate 20 years of freedom in South Africa, the moment is ruined with disappointment for many of the nations poorest, who feel change has been slow to e. Today thousands of people are expected to gather near Cape Town to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Nelson Mandelas release. The moment when Mr. Mandela, who was 71 and had spent 27 years in prison on Robben Island, walked free marked a change from apartheid (种族隔离) to multi-racial democracy (民主). He went on to bee the countrys first black president. His African National Congress (ANC) party has reduced poverty, built houses and delivered water, electricity and schools to blacks. Still, though, needs remain great.With some observers paring the event to South Africas equal of the fall of the Berlin Wall, the occasion has sparked (引发) debate about unhappy promises and riots (暴乱) among the nations very poorest, who feel short-changed. Agnes Ntali shares her two-roomed Department of Housing in Soweto with three grandchildren. The 55-year-old widow, who first came to Soweto with her husband in the days after Nelson Mandelas release has been waiting 10 years to be re-housed. “We have stayed here for a long time now but nothing has changed. Now we are free but we are not happy we have no jobs and we are hungry,” she told The Times newspaper. “Since Mandela left, there have been no changes, ” she said.Last week the “informal settlement” she shares with several hundred other very poor black South Africans, broke out into violence. Tired of unhappy promises to provide electricity and toilets, som
