Its been too long for me to live in the shadow created by myself! Darkness has taken me but fortunately, I finally woke up and decided to make my way out. Amanda bought me a bottle of wine which tasted as bitter as the life I had been undergoing. I told herwhat I had experienced. It is I who chose to be like this! Its my own choice! Had I not e back fromSingapore, not decided to leave FX, not divorced with Maggie, I would not have met you! There are too many things, which are not supposed to happen, but happened to me! My job is stable but not well-paid, interesting but not challenging, relaxing but not what I want. Theres nothing about the job I am proud of, except that I can be the interpreter for the vice mayor sometimes. But is it a big deal? No, I dont think so! There are now two options in front of me. I can either choose to stay in government or leave for foreign panies. I asked Amanda for advice, who suggested me to stay still in the government, and my parents also asked me to be patient! But my mind is totally blank now, and I dont know which to choose. Im confused! Neither option is convincing, in terms of payment and long-term improvement. Working for the government will give me a stable career life. I wont need to worry about my sales targets and whatever insurance. But I will never be rich again! Working for a foreign pany will bring good salaries and bonus to me. But I will be under great pressure to achieve whatever goals made by the pany! Im no longer a young salesman. My confidence is no longer as strong as before! God. its so hard to make the decision!56. Who is responsible for this situation? A. The author himself. B. Amanda C. Maggie D. The authors parents 57. What does the author think of his present job? A. Busy and difficult. B. Highly paid and stable. C. Steady and relaxing. D. Challenging and interesting. 58. The thing that bothers the author most about working for a foreign pany is that . A. he will have to make the decision B. he will not be rich again C. he will no longer be a salesman D. he will be under huge pressure 59. Whats the authors attitude towards his decision? A. Contented. B. Determined. C. Optimistic. D. Uncertain. BAmerican middle school students dont seem to care that theyre worse at maths than their counterparts(同龄人) in Chinas Hong Kong and Finland. I dont need it, my student says. Im going to be a basketball star. Or a car mechanic, or a singer.Middle school students maths skills were tested by the International Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. The United States ranked 28th out of 41 countries tested. After all, when was the last time you used algebra(代数)?But maths isnt just about training Americans to bee scientists. It has its own value. It helps you see patterns and develops your logic skills, and it teaches you to concentrate and to separate truth from falsehood. Maths helps you make wise financial decisions, so you can avoid false claims from advertisers, politicians and others. It helps you determine risk. For example, after an airplane crash, studies show that people are more likely to drive than to take a plane in spite of the fact that they are much more likely to be killed or injured while driving. Planes are not like criminals who repeat the same crime over and over. One plane is not more likely to crash just because another plane recently did. In fact, the most dangerous time to drive is probably right after a plane crash because so many people are on the road.It is not possible to really understand science and the scientific method without understanding maths. A rainbow is even more beautiful and amazing when we understand it.The precision of maths helps us think in a very special way. How do we bring the learning of maths back to life? I dont have the big answer. I try my best to help pupils find answers to some maths problems. When I can get one to say, wow, thats great, I feel the joy of a small victory.60. Some American students dont care about their poor maths results because .A. they dont do well in maths B. maths is useless to most people C. they have no interest in maths D. they think maths has nothing to do with their future 61. The example in Paragraph 3 is used to show .A. a simple fact shows plicated rules B. every coin has its two sides C. we should not be cheated by fault facts D. maths is close to our daily life 62. The writer would agree that .A. American kids dont work hard at school B. its normal that American kids are weak in maths C. without maths we11 miss much in our life D. maths is the most important subject at school 63. This text is most probably written by . A. a student career guide B. a researcher on students problems C. a maths teacher D. a specialist in students studies CLooking for Canadian culture? Try checking out the ice rink. We love hockey, says Marion Alexander, a Canadian English teacher in Beijing. It really is Canadas sport.There is no other sport so close to the hearts of Canadians and no other sport in which they have been so successful. But how much do you know about hockey?Hockey is played on a court of ice called a rink. Each team has six playersa goalie (goal keeper), a center, two defensemen, and two forwards. All of them wear ice skates. Instead of a ball, hockey players use a puck(冰球), a small black object made of rubber.Each team tries their best to hit the puck with their hockey sticks into the other teams goal. Whichever team scores the most goals at the end of the three periods is the winner. Hockey has a lot of rules, says Alexander, But once you are used to it, it seems very natural.In Canada, hockey is part of the national identity. Many Canadians play hockey when they are growing up and many families make a tradition of watching the games. I played goalie when I was younger, remembers Alexander. My family would always watch the Calgary Flames (a team in the National Hockey League) play on TV.Hockey doesnt just unite families. It also brings the whole country together, especially during the Olympics. Canada is a diverse country that doesnt have a strong unified culture like China. That is why hockey is so important. Supporting the national team brings all of Canada together, says Alexander.64.

DDior was born in Normandy in 1905, and his family s original plans for him included a career in the diplomatic service, but by the time he was twenty-three, with his parents money, he opened a small art gallery in Paris. By 1931, the money had been used up. Dior s friends in the art gallery, asked him to draw and he took his first step at designing and drawing. His first job was with Lucien Lelong from whom Dior learned his craft (手艺).In February, 1947, Dior started the New Look in his first major Paris collection. He was backed by a famous textile producer, Boussac, who looked after the dollars, while Dior looked after the fashions. Dior knew nothing about cutting and sewing, but he was good at fashion design.The New Look started an entirely different look to costume, with a tiny waist, a rounded shoulder and a shapely bust (胸围) , usually with a low-cut neckline and a long, full skirt. To women who had lived through the war years, the femaleness of the New look was a great success, for people were tired of textile extremely plain, wartime restrictive fashions.It is said that dresses by Dior were constructed like buildings, but young people were attracted to his design, and all over the western world, manufacturers plunged (投入) into the production of his new style. Diors revolutionary designs lighted up a whole cycle of fashion, rounded, gentle, feminine, a delight in elegance. A New Look House of Dior opened in 1948, followed by one in London. Considered as King of Couture (women s clothing) for years, the Dior empire grew until it covered every country in the western world, and included furs, hosiery, jewelry, perfumes, mens wear and on and on. More than 1,000 people worked at the Paris headquarters then.His sudden death in 1957 when he was 54 years old did not stop the growth of the House of Dior. Even now, so many years after his death, his name is closely connected with fashion throughout the world, and indeed is one of the most recognized names in the world. His first, great New Look, with its long skirts was an expression of freedom in the late 1940s.68. Which of the following designs is close to Diors? 69. According to the passage, in Diors life, he did NOT . A. open a New Look House B. make creative fashion designs C. work in a diplomatic service D. learn craft as his first job 70. We can infer from the passage that . A. Dior s fashion was not accepted at first B. Dior and his supporter had different interests in business C. Dior s New Look had little influence on people then D. Dior is only a brand of women s fashion 71. What is probably the best title for the passage? . A. The Founder of the New LookDior B. The History of the New Look C. The Growth of the Dior Empire D. An Expression of Freedom-Dior E The tragic death of celebrity (名人)Wang Bei has made people aware of the risks of cosmetic surgery (整容手术), which is being increasingly popular. It seems the aspiring singer Wang Bei has finally achieved the fame that escaped her during her lifetime. Denny Chen, a 27-year-old Beijing hairdresser, dropped his plans for surgery because of the news. Im afraid the same thing might happen to me, so Ive decided to forget it
