The first grade teacher gave her class a fun _36_ to draw a picture of something for which they were thankful.Most of the class might be considered economically _37_, but still many would _38_ the holidays with turkeys and other traditional goodies of the season. These, the teacher thought, would be the _39_ of most of her students art. And they were._40_, Douglas made a different kind of picture. Douglas was a special kind of boy. He was the teachers true child of misery, _41_ and unhappy. As other children played at break, Douglas was likely to stand close by her side. One could only guess the pain Douglas felt _42_ those sad eyes.Yes, his picture was different. When _43_ to draw a picture of something for which he was thankful, he drew a hand. Nothing else. Just a(n) _44_ hand.His abstract image captured the _45_ of his classmates, whose hand could it be? One child guessed it was the hand of a farmer, because farmers _46_ turkeys. Another suggested a police officer, because the police protect and _47_ people. And so the discussion went - until the teacher _48_ forgot the young artist himself.When the children had gone on to other tasks, she _49_ at Douglas desk, bent down, and asked him whose hand it was. The little boy looked away and _50_, “Its yours, teacher.”She _51_ the times she had taken his hand and walked with him here and there, _52_ she had other student. How often had she said, “Take your hand, Douglas, well go outside.” Or, “Let me show you how to hold your pencil.” Or, “Lets do this together.” Douglas was most thankful for his teachers hand.Brushing _53_ a tear, she went on with her work.The story speaks of _54_ thankfulness. It says something about teachers teaching and parents parenting and friends showing friendship, and how much it means to the Douglases of the world. They might not always say thanks, but theyll remember the hand that _55_.36. A. assessment B. assignment C. appointment D. adjustment37. A. disadvantagedB. convenientC. wealthyD. advantaged38.

But there are some people who seem able to “fast” for very long periods.Various records are claimed for long fast, but in most cases there is no medical proof and so the records are doubtful. One South African woman claimed that she lived for 102 days on nothinig but water and soda water.There are great differences among living things in the ability to survive without food. For example , a tick（扁虱）, which lives on animals, may survive a whole year. Warm-blooded animals use up their stores of food in the body more quickly.In fact, the smaller and more active the animal, the more quickly it uses up its reserves. A small bird starves to death in about five days, a dog in about twenty. In general, we can say that a warm-blooded creature will die when it has lost about half its normal weight. This matter of weight is important. Man and other creatures live in a state of metabolic equiplibrium（新陈代谢的平衡）which means maintaining the body weight once a certain point has been reached. This regulation of body weight is done by thirst, hunger, and appetite.When your blood lacks nutritional materials, this registers（记录）in the hunger center of the brain and you feel “hungry”. The body is crying out for any kind of fuel(food). And it is our appetite that sees to it hat we chooose a mixed diet, which is the kind the body needs.56. According to this passage, a man will die _.A. when a certain point in losing weight has been reached.B. when his blood lacks nutritional materialC. when his normal weight is lostD. when he goes without food for more than 12 hours57.The word “fast” in Paragraph 1 can best be replaced by _.A. eat no foodB. live merely on water and soda waterC. live on nothingD. remains alive for a long time without food58.A tick can survive much longer than a bird because _.A. a tick lives on animalsB. a tick is much smallerC. a bird is more activeD. both B and C59.A person feels hungry _.A. if he doesnt choose a mixed dietB. because his body cries out for foodC. when soemthing is wrong with regulation of body weightD. if there are not enough nutritional in his blood60.From the passage we can infer that the author _.A. believes the South African woman very firmlyB. does not believe the South African woman at allC. is not certain whether the South African womans claim was true.D. is doubtful whether there was such a South African womanBIt might sound ridiculous that goal setting could actually hold you back from pleting tasks and dreams you may have. But it seems like everyone tells you should be setting goals for everything you want to acplish, short term and long term. Goals can help you sometimes, but in some cases they just lead to constant frustration and they actually bring you down.Lets look at this a little closer with an example. A lot of people might set forth as a goal. Many people jump online and are looking to start a business online as a way to make money from home and lets say they set a goal to make $10,000 in their first month. They do this because they seem tons of people making large sums of money in very little time so they think, $10,000 a month, that shouldnt be too hard. But what happens when you only bring in $1,000 in your first 30 days online? If this is pure profit you might still be happy but this is nowhere near reaching the goal you originally set out to meet. So naturally you would feel like you failed to reach your goal and you may be a little disappointed in yourself.If you continue not to reach this goal month in month , it starts to add up and really weighs on you. Im not saying that they are bad and you shouldnt set them but you need to realize that you should not be emotionally attached to your goals.An alternative approach would be to set certain milestones for when you want to acplish things and start out small. Build your confidence by acplishing smaller feats and if you overproduce, then it will be a nice surprise. You have to have some sort of end result in mind but break it down in to a day by day task. It makes it a lot easier for you to handle by just knowing everyday you have to plete a few small tasks and over time the snowball will roll into great things.61.The purpose of the passage is to _.A. show that its necessary to set goalsB. prove the disadvantages of setting goalsC. suggest way of setting goals to reach successD. introduce how to reach success by setting high goals.62.In Paragraph 2 , the writer used the example to _.A. persuade readers not to be greedy for moneyB. prove that goals often result in frustration.C. show goal setting sometimes stops you realizing your dreamsD. advise readers not to set goals to avoid frustration63.According to the passage, always sticking to our goals is _.A. important B. unnecessaryC. ridiculousD. natural64.What belief does the writer most probably hold?A. The higher goals we set, the more success well achieveB. Goal setting is not always necessary and helpfulC. We shouldnt set higher goals than other peopleD. Goals should be set for short term and long term.65.What information will probably be provided following the last paragraph?A. Another helpful tip for setting goalsB. Benefits of setting small goalC. Side effects of goal settingD. Success achieved without goal setting.CAre some people born clever and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough, the answer to both questions is yes.To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a persons intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways. It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random (随意地) from the population, it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be pletely different. If on the other hand we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that integigence depends on birth. Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this shows that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who lives in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.66. Which of the following best describes the writers point in Paragraph One? A. To some extent, intelligence is given at birth. B. Intelligence is developed by the environment. C. Some people are born clever and others born stupid. D. Intelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment.67. In the first paragraph,“no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence” suggests that .A. no environment can change the least able into the most able B. the difference in mens intelligence depends on the amount of their education C. if a person is born clever, he is certain to be a genius D. if a person is born stupid, nothing can change him into an educated person68. The last paragraph mainly shows . A. the importance of education B. the relationship between environment and birth C. the writers final conclusion D. the relationship between intelligence and environment69. The best title for this passage would be . A. Dependence on Education B. Intelligence C. Surroundings D. Effect of Education70. Which statement about the passage is true? A. All twins have similar degrees of intelligence. B. A man who is educated in university must make greater achievements than a man who works in a boring factory. C. Proper education can change ones intelligence at some degree. D. Education cant make a child born with low intelligence cleverer.DA team of US psychologists have found that talking to another person for ten minutes a day helps with memory. Socializing is just as effective as more traditional kinds of mental exercise in boosting memory and intellectual performance, Oscar Ybarra, a psychologist at the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research, said in a statement. In one investigation, they analyzed data on 3610 people, aged 24 to 96. They found that the higher their level of social interaction (交流), the better their cognitive (认知的) functioning. Social interaction includes getting together or having phone chats with relatives, freinds and neighbors. In another experiment, the researchers conducted lab tests on 76 college students, aged 18 to 21, to evaluate how social interactions and intellectual exercises affected the results of memory and mental performance tests. The students were divided into three groups: the social interaction group had a discussion of a social issue for 10 minutes before taking the tests; the intellectual activities group pleted three tasks (including a reading prehension exercise and a crossword puzzle) before the tests; and a control group (对照组) watched a 10-minute clip (电源片段) of the Seinfeld television show. We found that short-term social interaction lasting for just 10 minutes improved participants intellectual performance as much as engaging in so-called intellectual activities for the same amount of time, Ybarra said. The study was expected to be published in the Februa
