Nothing could be done but to 28 in cold wilderness. It was 8 hours later that day broke, and then the 29 of the rescue. It is almost 30 that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long.

Finally they fell dead in fear and exhaustion（筋疲力尽）. According to the 39 people that found them, the place where they got lost was only about 10 meters away from the 40 of the cave. If they stayed on the spot when they lost their way and tried to 41 themselves, they would probably sense a faint light glimmering （闪烁）not far away. Dont you think that you can pare it with 42 itself? When you meet with obstacles（障碍）in life and work, you are lost in darkness. 43 you its unclear yet and you neednt put up struggle 44 .

You dont need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads in their free time.In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get a success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.Happiness doesnt mean money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something that cant be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving（旋转的）door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.46. When you do something wrong, people around you will .A. quarrel with you B. help you correct itC. do something wrong like you D. laugh at you47. What will your friends say when you make great progress?A. Oh, so do I . B. Congratulations!C. Good luck! D. Just so-so!48. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. People who have cars would never like to walk in the open air.B. You can get help from others when you are in trouble.C. You can still be a happy person even if you have little money.D. Happiness is always around you though difficulties e towards you.49. The passage mainly tells us .A. parents always care for our life and health B. were not happy if we meet with difficulties C. happiness is always around usD. life is colorfulBChinese are very generous when it es to educating their children. Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the United States or Australia. They also want their children to take extra-course activities where they will learn a musical instrument or ballet or other classes which will give them a head start in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So the parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education. Even poor couples will buy a puter for their son or daughter. However, what most parents fail to see is that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap.Parents can see that their childrens skills vary, skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that todays children lack (缺乏) self-respect and self-confidence.The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study well, but parents arent teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident, happy and clever.Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing housework.Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking demands patience and time. Its an enjoyable but difficult experiment. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually to finish his job successfully. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of self-confidence. Some old machines , such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your children to play with will make him curious (好奇) and arouse his interest He will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them; your child might bee an engineer when he grows up. These activities arent merely teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important.50. Parents in China, according to this passage, _.A. are too strict with their children B. are too rich to educate their childrenC have some problems in educating their children correctly D. are too poor to educate their children51. The writer of this passage doesnt seem to be satisfied with_.A. the parents idea of educating their children B. the education systemC. childrens skills D. childrens hobbies52. Doing some cooking at home helps children_.A. learn how to serve their parents B. learn how to bee strong and fatC. benefit from it and prepare themselves for the future D. make their parents believe that they are clever53. According to the last paragraph, we can conclude that_.A. broken radios and television sets are useful B. ones curiosity may be useful for his later lifeC. an engineer must fix many broken radiosD. a good student should spend much time repairing radiosCDue to the increasing number of violence acts produced in schools all over the world, more and more parents prefer to have their children educated at home rather than at school. This way they can assure their safety and well-being，although teachers and school representatives are trying to improve the situation in schools by increasing the number of the persons in charge with the safety of the students.The main reason for violence acts are the films and cartoons that fill the childrens time. They want to do everything. They watch on TV and never think at the results, and they may hurt a classmate or a teacher.On the other hand, parents are not fully satisfied with the childrens results obtained in classes and they consider private classes would have better results.When a teacher has to watch 30 students in class he cant probably see what each of them is doing, how he is writing, or if he understands the explanations. At home the teacher can explain in details everything the child doesnt understand as many times as he considers proper.And many times, the child grows fond of the teacher at home, who bees his best friend, and who helps him whenever he needs someone to talk to. However, the best solution would be a mixture between the education received at school and that at home, because school makes children municate and socialize. Keeping a child at home for fear there might happen something bad to him only makes the childs character weak and prevents him from knowing what real life is. Staying in a crystal ball only does harm to the child. All in all, schools have been created to help children, not to harm them, so its best to keep children in these special places, where they learn, laugh, have fun and make new friends.54. The writers purpose in writing the text is to . A. teach parents the ways to keep theft children safe B. show solutions to developing childrens character C. explain the main reason for violence acts in schools D. analyze an education problem and give opinions 55. What does “a crystal ball” in the passage refer to? A. A toy that can be used for entertainment B. A safe and fortable environment C. An object that is made of crystal D. A setback that is hard to overe56. We call infer from the passage that . A. violence TV programs have bad effects on children behavior B. the teacher at home is more patient than the teacher at school C. children today are weak from lack of sense of right and wrong D. there ale too many students in class for a teacher to teachDAbout a year ago, I went to stay at a Detroit hotel. I didnt want to carry too much money with me, so I asked the desk clerk to put a hundred- dollar bill in the safe for me. The next morning, however, the clerk said he knew nothing about my money. I didnt have any proof that I had given the man the money. There was nothing I could do but go to the nearest lawyer.The lawyer advised me to return to the hotel with him and give another hundred-dollar bill to the clerk. This I did. An hour later, I went back to the desk and asked for my money. Since I had the lawyer as an eyewitness to the second hundred-dollar bill, the clerk could not say he knew nothing about it.Another hour later, I put the second part of the lawyers plan into action. This time both the lawyer and I went to the hotel. I asked for the hundred-dollar bill once again, and when the clerk insisted he had already given it to me, I denied（否认）it. The lawyer said to him, “I saw this gentleman give you a hundred dollars. If you dont hand it over immediately, Ill be forced to call the police.” The clerk realized he had been tricked, so he gave me back the first hundred-dollar bill.“I dont know how to thank you enough for getting my money back,” I said to the lawyer. And what you suppose he answered? He said, “Oh, dont thank me. That will be a hundred dollars, please.”57.

Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colour preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings. _67_.
