Never set your heart on anything that is 37 .” The next morning, we 38 a big noise from outdoors. The whole family 39 , led by Chuck who shouted, “Dad, Dad, Holly damaged your car.” My heart 40 and my mind was flooded with conflicting thoughts. Was anyone hurt? Who else was involved? I ran to the door with a 41 heart and in that instant a message came clearly to my spirit like a voice in my heart, “Here is your chance. You have always looked for ways to show her she is precious to you. Here is a unique 42 to show her what you really love. How you 43 now is something that she will never forget.” To my surprise, the accident had not occurred on the street, but right in my own driveway. And my fears about damage to the property of other people melted when I saw that the collision was with my truck. Holly was unhurt 44 but when I reached she was crying softly and saying over and over again, “Oh, Dad, Im sorry.

Listening well requires total 50 on someone else. An essential part of listening well is the rule known as bracketing. Bracketing includes the temporary giving up or 51 of your own prejudices and desires, to experience as far as possible someone elses world from the inside, stepping into his or her shoes. 52 , it also involves a temporary 53 of the other person.

Choices can be hard . Jeff Bezos I got the idea to start Amazon 16 years agoI came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2,300 percent per year Id never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast, and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to meI had just turned 30 years old, and Id been married for a year. I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldnt work since most start-ups dont, and I wasnt sure what to expectMacKenzie told me I should go for itAs a young boy, Id been a garage inventorId always wanted to be an: inventor, and she wanted me to follow my passion I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people, and I had a brilliant boss that I much admiredI went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a pany selling books on the InternetHe took me on a long walk in Central Park, listened carefully to me, and finally said, That sounds like a really good idea, but it would be an even better idea for someone who didnt already have a good job.” That logic made some sense to me, and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision It really was a difficult choice, but finally, I decided I had to give it a shotI didnt think Id regret trying and failingAnd I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all After much consideration, I took the less safe path to follow my passion, and Im proud of that choiceFor all of us, in the end, we are our choices56.

Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Cleverness and Kindness B. The Starting of Amazon C. Following My Passion D. We Are What We Choose BIn Britain and other countries, young people sometimes take a gap year, a year off between high school and college, This idea never gained a big following in America. Recent news reports have suggested that interest may be growing, though there are no official numbersCharles Deacon, Dean of Admissions at Georgetown University in Washington, DCestimates that in the current first-year class of 1600 students, only about 25 decided to take a year off He says this number has not changed much over the years MrDeacon says the most mon reason for taking a gap year is to have a chance to travel, but he says international students may take a gap year to meet requirements at home for military dutySome high school graduates see a year off as a chance to recover after twelve years of required education, but it can also give students a chance to explore their interestsStudents hoping to be doctors, for example, could learn about the profession by volunteering in a hospitalMany colleges and universities support gap-year projects by permitting students to delay their admission Experts say students can grow emotionally and intellectually as they work at something they enjoyThe Harvard admissions office has an essay on its website called Time Out or Burn Out for the Next Generation. It praises the idea of taking time off to step back, think and enjoy gaining life experiences outside the pressure of studies It also notes that students are sometimes admitted to Harvard or other colleges partly because they did something unusual with that timeOf course, a gap year is not for everyone. Students might miss their friends who go on directly to collegeSome parents might worry that their children will decide not to go to college once they take time off Another concern is money A year off, away from home, can be costlyHolly Bulls job is to specialize in helping students plan their gap year She notes that several books have been written about this subject She says these books along with media attention and the availability of information on the Internet have increased interest in the idea of a year off, and she points out that many gap-year programs cost far less than a year of college60.

The essay Time Out or Burn Out for the Next Generation suggests that A. every student must take a gap year before applying for a famous university B. some famous universities encourage students to gain more life experiences C. taking a gap year can make students free from life learning D. the stress of studies does harm to the students health63. What can we learn from the passage? A. Books and media have contributed to the students interest in school learning B. Charles Deacon doesnt support the idea of the students taking a gap year C. Some parents might disagree with the program, concerned about their childrens future D. Experts agree taking a year off will benefit the students emotionally and physicallyCScientists have long puzzled over how iguanas, a group of lizards(蜥蜴) mostly found in the Americas, came to live in the isolated Pacific islands of Fiji and Tonga. Some scientists used to suppose that they must have traveled there on a raft, a journey of around 5,000 miles from South America to the islands. There are documented cases of iguanas reaching remote Caribbean islands and the Galapagos Islands on floating logs. But new research in January by Brice Noonan and Jack Sites suggested that iguanas may have simply walked to Fiji and Tonga when the islands were still a part of an ancient southern supercontinent. The ancient supercontinent was made up of present-day Africa, Australia, Antarctica and parts of Asia. If thats the case, the island species would need to be very old. Using “molecular (分子) clock” analysis of living iguanas DNA, Noonan and Sites found that, sure enough, the lineage of iguanas has been around for more than 60 million yearseasily old enough to have been in the area when the islands were still connected by land bridges to Asia or Australia. Fossils (化石) uncovered in Mongolia suggest that iguanid ancestors did once live in Asia. Though theres currently no fossil evidence of iguanas in Australia, that doesnt necessarily mean they were never there. “The fossil record of this continent is surprisingly poor and cannot be taken as evidence of true absence,” the authors write. So if the iguanas simply walked to Fiji and Tonga from Asia or possibly Australia, why are they not also found on the rest of the Pacific islands? Noonan and Sites say fossil evidence suggests that iguana species did once inhabit other islands, but went extinct right around the time when humans settled in those islands. But Fiji and Tonga have a much shorter history of human presence, which may have helped the iguanas living there to escape extinction. The researchers say that their study cant pletely rule out the rafting theory, but it does make the land bridge theory “far more reasonable than previously thought.”64. What did some scientists previously believe about the iguanas? A. They were once discovered in America. B. They traveled by raft to Fiji and Tonga. C. They could survive in poor living conditions.D. They moved to Fiji and Tonga from Australia.65. According to Noonan and Sites, 60 million years ago _. A. the land of the world was a supercontinent B. Fiji and Tonga were connected to Asia or Australia C. Africa, Australia and America were a continent D. iguanas walked to Fiji and Tonga from Africa66. The underline word “lineage” in Paragraph 2 probably refers to _. A. the line of generations of an ancestorB. the change in ancient plants and animals.C. conditions in which creatures can surviveD. the habitat of a type of an ancient animal 67. What is the main topic of this passage? A. The life span of animals living on the ancient supercontinent. B. The two islands being home to several iguana species in the Pacific region.C. The fossil evidence suggesting iguanas ancestors swimming to Fiji and Tonga D. By raft or by land how did iguanas reach the tiny Pacific islands? DRats that eat high levels of a natural sugar known as fructose（果糖）seem to age faster than other rats-and the same could be true for people who eat too much sweet junk food, Israeli researchers said MondayFructose, found naturally in honey and fruit, is used widely in foods ranging from soft drinks to yogurtBut while its sweet taste is popular, the sugar could cause wrinkles, the researchers saidDrMoshe Werman and Boaz Levi of the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology fed large amounts of fructose to laboratory ratsWriting in the Journal of Nutrition, they said the fructose-fed rats showed changes in the collagen（胶原蛋白）of their skin and bones. Collagen basically holds the body togetherThe loss of collagen is what causes loose skin and deep wrinkles in older people,The process affected, Wermans team said, is known as cross-linking（交叉相连）Too much cross-linking makes the skin stiff, and these are the conditions that encourage wrinkled skin, Werman said in a statementHe said the same could be true of people, although this has not been shown Americans
