Some people succeed because they are just _41_ than other people. Some people succeed because they just work harder than other people. And some people succeed because they are just plain lucky.Ma Donghan is a student at Tsinghua University who is _42_ to be successful and shes not going to leave it to luck. Ma is obviously smart because shes a student at the best university in China, but her plan for success is _43_ on the old fashion value of hard work. You can see that by the weekly schedule shes set up for herself which was recently posted online. Every hour of every day is accounted for. There is her classroom _44_, of course, but then blocks of time are set aside for _45_ each subject and also for a few activities like playing sports. There are no hours set aside for just relaxing and there are only five hours allotted (分配) each night for sleeping. She has set a very _46_, almost punishing schedule for herself, but it seems to be working.Other students _47_ at Mas diligence and discipline but doubt that they could achieve the same level of success. Perhaps not, but Ma is obviously a unique and special _48_. She has set high goals, made a plan to achieve those goals, and worked hard to keep to her plan. This is what other students can learn from Ma.In school, as in life, _49_ is never guaranteed and not everyone will find him or herself at the top of the pyramid. The important thing to remember is that having a plan and working hard to stay with the plan will bring you a level of success that just being smart and lucky cannot.III. Reading prehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.When we read books we seem to enter a new world.

For example, when we read about Harry Potter, wedo seem to learn something about the real world. And when Harry studies magic at Hogwarts, he also learns more about his real life than_54_. Reading, like writing, is an action. It is a way ofthinking. When we read or write something, we do much more than simple look at words on a page. We use our_55_, which is real, and our imagination, which is real in a different way, to make the words e to life in our minds.Both realism and fantasy (幻想)usethe imagination and the “magic” of reading and writing to make us think.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A)A new study of 8,000 young people in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior shows that although love can make adults live healthily and happily, it is a bad thing for young people. Puppy love (早恋) may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression (忧郁症). The study shows that girls bee more depressed than boys, and younger girls are the worst of all.The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is “loss of self”. According to the study, even though boys would say “lose themselves in a romantic relationship”, this “loss of self” is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls. Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions. They wont tell that to their parents.Dr Marian Kaufman, an expert on young people problems, says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing. Trying romance often causes the depression. She advises kids not to jump into romance too early. During growing up, it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self. She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends, attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family.Parents should watch for signs of depression - eating or mood changes - and if they see signs from their daughters or sons, they need to give help. The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to bee weak with age. Love will always make us feel young, but only maturity (成熟) gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects.65. Whats the main idea of the passage?A. Puppy love may bring young people depression.B. Parents should forbid their childrens love.C. Romance is a two edged sword for adults. D. Romance is good for young people.66. Which of the following is more likely to have depression?A. Young people who have a strong sense of selfishness.B. Young boys whose parents watch for their behavior.C. Young girls who always hide their feelings and opinions.D. Careless parents whose children are deep in love.67. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Lacking love can lead young people to grow up more quickly.B. Early love makes young people keep close to their friends and parents.C. Parents should help their children to be aware of the signs of depression.D. The older a woman is，the less likely she seems to lose herself in romance.68. Whats the authors attitude towards puppy love?A. Confused. B. Disapproving. C. Disinterested. D. Scared.

Many people alive today would have died of childhood diseases if they had been born 100 years ago. Because more people live longer, there are more people around at any given time. In fact, it is a decrease in death rates, not an increase in birthrates, that has led to the population explosion.Prolonging human life has also increased the dependency load. In all societies, people who are disabled or too young or too old to work are dependent on the rest of society to provide for them. In hunting and gathering cultures, old people who could not keep up might be left behind to die. In times of famine (饥荒), infants might be allowed to die because they could not survive if their parents starved, where as if the parents survived they could have another child. In most contemporary societies, people feel a moral obligation (责任) to keep people alive whether they can work or not. We have a great many people today who live past the age at which they want to work or are able to work; we also have rules which require people to retire at a certain age. Unless these people were able to save money for their retirement, somebody else must support them. In the United States many retired people live on social security checks which are so little that they must live in near poverty. Older people have more illnesses than young or middle-aged people; unless they have wealth or private or government insurance, they must often “go on welfare” if they have a serious illness.When older people bee senile (衰老的) or too weak and ill to care for themselves, they create grave problems for their families. In the past and in some traditional cultures, they would be cared for at home until they died. Today, with most members of a household working or in school, there is often no one at home who c
