I feel it, feel it even 19 than I felt Shubentsovs healing (恢复) energy. Thats saying something, since Shubentsov is known around the world for 20 smokers of their nasty habit, using a 21 method.

My body and my mind are demanding that daily. I claim to smoke for pleasure, but I realise that slowly Im losing control of this close, special friend. I 29 that. I realise its not just a “habit”. Im 30 . So here I am, attempting to 31 again, at Shubentsovs place. Ive tried all the other quitting techniques 32 . Anytime the urge to smoke 33 , he said, just call him immediately and hell help.

Besides, I know that at 9.30 on a Friday night, Ill get the answering machine. I do. “The office is open from ten to four. Call me back then. This machine does not take messages.” I put the phone down and I can honestly say Im 34 . You see, its not Shubentsovs fault or anyone elses fault that Im still 35 . Its mine.

A few years later, my husband and I moved to a retirement munity, and I wanted to teach aerobic（有氧运动的）classes. The munity center wouldnt give me a room to teach in, so I had to walk around and find any available empty room. One day, the munity center staff came to me and asked if I would help with the entertainment for a Hawaiian luau（夏威夷式宴会）they were putting on. I said yes. Then I talked five other ladies into dancing with me. We performed the hula（呼啦舞）and a war chant and brought the house down. Someone had a camera and took pictures, and then sent them to our local paper. We got requests for more engagements, which in turn led to more publicity and yet more engagements. Soon we had invitations from all over the country. The Dancing Grannies were born! Thats what Im still doing todaylooking for the treasure in growing old. Im getting better and better.

In a two-year analysis to be published in November in Perspectives on Psychological Science, psychologists led by Timothy B. Baker of the University of Wisconsin charge that many clinical psychologists fail to “provide the treatments for which there is the strongest evidence of effectiveness” and “give more weight to their personal experiences than to science.” As a result, patients have no guarantee that their “treatment will be informed by science.” Walter Mischel of Columbia University is even crueler in his judgment. “The disconnect between what clinical psychologists do and what science has discovered is an extreme embarrassment,” he told me, and “there is a widening gap between clinical practice and science.”The “widening” reflects the great progress that psychological research has made in identifying the most effective treatments. Thanks to strict clinical trials, we now know that teaching patients to think about their thoughts in new, healthier ways and to act on those new ways of thinking are effective against depression, panic disorder and other problems, with multiple trials showing that these treatmentsthe tools of psychologybring more lasting benefits than drugs.You wouldnt know this if you sought help from a typical clinical psychologist. Although many treatments are effective, relatively few psychologists learn or practice them.Why in the world not? For one thing, says Baker, clinical psychologists are “very doubtful about the role of science” and “lack solid science training”. Also, one third of patients get better no matter what treatment (if any) they have, “and psychologists remember these successes, believing, wrongly, that they are the result of the treatment.”When faced with evidence that treatments they offer are not supported by science, clinical psychologists argue that they know better than some study that works. A xx study of 591 psychologists in private practice found that they rely more on their own and colleagues experience than on science when deciding how to treat a patient. If they keep on this path as insurance panies demand evidence-based medicine, warns Mischel, psychology will “discredit itself.”46. Many clinical psychologists fail to provide the most effective treatments because _.A. they are unfamiliar with their patients B. they believe in science and evidenceC. they rely on their personal experiences D. they depend on their colleagues help47. The widening gap between clinical practice and science is due to _.A. the cruel judgment by Walter MischelB. the great progress that has been made in psychological researchC. the fact that most patients get better after being treatedD. the fact that patients prefer to take drugs rather than have other treatments48. How do clinical psychologists respond when charged that their treatments are not supported by science? A. They feel embarrassed.B. They try to defend themselves.C. They are disappointed.D. They doubt their treatments.49. In Mischels opinion, psychology will _.A. develop faster with the support of insurance paniesB. destroy its own reputation if no improvement is madeC. work together with insurance panies to provide better treatmentD. bee more reliable if insurance panies wont demand evidence-based medicine50. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To introduce the latest progress of medical treatment in clinical psychology.B. To inform the readers of the risks of psychological treatments.C. To explain the effectiveness of treatments by clinical psychologists.D. To show the writers disapproval of clinical psychologists.DIn the countries of South and Southeast Asia, the elephant has been an important part of the culture, economy and religion for centuriesAnd nowhere more so than in ThailandUnlike its African cousin, the Asian elephant is easily domesticated（驯化）The rare so-called white elephants have actually lent the power of royalty to its rulers，and until the 1920s the national flag was a white elephant on a red backgroundTo the early Western visitors, the countrys romantic name was“ Land of the White ElephantToday, however, the story is very differentOut of work and out of land, the Thai elephant struggles for survival in a nation that no longer needs itThe elephant has found itself more or less deserted by previous owners who have moved on to a different economic world and a society in the western partAnd while the elephants problems began many years ago, now it has a very low national advantageHow does the national symbol turn into ignored animals? It is a story of worse environment and the changing lives of the Thais themselvesAccording to Richard Lair, Thailands expert on the Asian elephant and author of the report Gone Astray, at the turn of the last century, there may well have been as many as 100,000 national elephants in the countryIn the north of Thailand alone, it was estimated（估计）that more than 20,000 elephants were employed in transport, 1,000 of them alone on the road between the cities of Chiang Mai and Chiang Saen This was at a time when 90 percent of Thailand was still forest-a habitat that not only supported the animals but also made them necessary to carry goods and peopleNothing ploughs through thick forest better than lots of sure-footed elephantsBy 1950 the elephant population had dropped, but still to the number of 13, 397However, today there are probably no more than 3,800, with another l,350 wandering free in the national parksBut now, Thailands forest covers only 20 percent of the landThis deforestation（采伐森林）is the central point of the elephants difficult situation, for it has effectively put the animals out of workThis century, as the road network grew, the elephants role as a beast of burden decreased51What can we know about African elephants from the passage?AIt is of little value to domesticate them BIt is hard to domesticate themCThey are living a better life than Asian elephants DTheir fate is quite similar to that of Asian elephants52Thailand was once called Land of the White Elephant because _Awhite elephant was a national symbol until the 1920s Bwhite elephant is rarely seen and thus very specialCwhite elephant has helped kings to gain the ruling authorityDthis name was so romantic that it was popular among visitors53Why is the Thai elephant out of work, according to the author?ABecause there are too many elephants but too few jobsBBecause the elephants cant do labor work any longerCBecause the government pays little attention to the problemDBecause the elephants are no longer useful to their owners54Which of the following statements is TRUE about the elephant population at various times?AThere were 100,000 domesticated elephants at the turn of the last centuryB20,000 elephants were employed in transport in Thailand at the turn of the centuryCBy 1950 the elephant population in Thailand has been quite smallDToday the elephant population is estimated at 5,15055The passage is most probably from _Aa travel guide Ba history book Ca popular science magazine Dan official announcement第II卷第三部分： 写作第一节： 阅读表达（共5小题； 每小题2分， 满分10分）阅读短文， 按照题目要求用英语回答问题。I have a friend named John Roberts who owns a horse ranch in San Ysidro. The last time I was there he shared a story with me. “It is a story about a young man who was the son of an itinerant（巡回的，流动的）horse trainer. When he was a senior，he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.”That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a horse ranch.
