And 36 otherwise assigned（指定）a seat by the teacher, I always 37 to sit at the back of the classroom.All this 38 after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I try out for the basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy 39 because I didnt have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the 40 to keep pace with the others on the team and they would tease me. But for the teacher who kept insisting on my “ 41 forit”, I wouldnt have decided to give a try.Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the 42 of it! When I first started 43 the practice sessions, I didnt even know the rules of the game, much 44 what I was doing. Sometimes Id get 45 and take a shot at the wrong directionwhich made me feel really stupid. 46 , I wasnt the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to 47 on learning the game, do my best at each practice session, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didnt 48 “just yet”.I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the 49 and the “moves”. Being part of a team was fun and motivating. Very soon the petitive 50 in me was winning over my lack of confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the 51 friends who respected my efforts to work hard and be a team player.

It is not only a financial problem but also a question of the system we want for our society. I would like to suggest several possible solutions to this problem. First, employers should take the responsibility for their retired employees. To make this possible, a percentage of profits should be set aside for this purpose. But when a pany must take life-long responsibility for its employees, it may suffer from a mercial disadvantage due to higher employee costs. Another way of solving the problem is to return the responsibility, to the individual. This means each person must save during his working years to pay for his years of retirement. This does not seem a very fair model since some people have enough trouble paying for their daily life without trying to earn extra to cover their retirement years. This means the government might have to step in to care for the poor. In addition, the government could take responsibility for the care of the elderly. This could be financed through government taxes to increase the level of pensions (养老金). Furthermore, some institution should be created for senior citizens, which can help provide a fortable life for them. Unfortunately, as the present situation in our country shows, this is not a truly practical answer. The government can seldom afford to care for the elderly, particularly when it is busy trying to care for the young. One further solution is that the government or social organizations establish some working places especially for the elderly where they are independent. To sum up, all these options have advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that some bination of these options may be needed to provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations.56. What is the passage mainly about? A. The problems faced by the old in society. B. Why we should take responsibility for the old. C. How we can improve the lives of the old. D. Where the old can go to get their pensions.57. According to the passage, how can the government help to improve the lives of retired people? A. Set aside some profits to help people with problems after they retire. B. Increase savings levels of people during their working years. C. Increase the discounts for food and transport for the old. D. Make available pensions for those who have retired.58. What is the writers main purpose in writing this article? A. To point out the need for government support for old people. B. To make general readers think of the problems of retired people. C. To discuss some possible solutions to an important social problem. D. To instruct retired people on how they can have a happier life.BExpressions about water are almost as mon as water itself.The expression to be in hot water is a very old expression. Hot water was used five hundred years ago to mean being in trouble. One story says it got that meaning from the custom of throwing extremely hot water down on enemies attacking a castle.That no longer happens. But we still get in hot water. When we are in hot water, we are in trouble. It can be any kind of trouble-serious or not so serious. A person who breaks a law can be in hot water with the police. A young boy can be in hot water with his mother, if he walks in the house with dirty shoes.Being in deep water is almost the same as being in hot water. When you are in deep water, you are in a difficult position.To keep your head above water is a colorful expression that means staying out of debt. A pany seeks to keep its head above water during economic hard times. A man who loses his job tries to keep his head above water until he finds a new job.Water over the dam is another expression about a past event. It is something that is finished. It cannot be changed. The expression es from the idea that water that has flowed over a dam cannot be brought back again.Another mon expression to hold water, is about the strength or weakness of an idea or opinion that you may be arguing about. It probably es from a way of testing the condition of a container. If it can hold water, it is strong and has no holes in it. If your argument can hold water, it is strong and does not have any holes.Throwing cold water also is an expression that deals with ideas or suggestions. It means to not like an idea. For example, you want to buy a new car because the old one has some problems. But your wife throws cold water on the idea, because she says a new car costs too much.59. If Robert says he is in deep water, we may guess _.A. he is swimming under the waterB. he faces a difficult choice C. he is tired of changing shoesD. he nearly breaks a law60. What can you infer from the passage?A. “To be in hot water” can only be used to mention serious trouble.B. “Water over the dam” is an expression about a future event. C. Water could be used in the war in the past.D. All of the expressions using water have unpleasant meanings.61. If your argument doesnt hold water, then it is _.A. convincingB. weak C. logical D. disappointing62. This passage is written mainly to tell us _. A. the use of water B. how to use some expressions of water C. expressions about water and their meanings D. expressions with negative meaning COn June 26, xx, Michael Jackson saved me. On that afternoon, I played with my six-year-old peers(同伴) in Heather Peters backyard. I was enjoying my cake, when Heather asked me where my sleeping bag was. Only then did I know this party was a sleepover. The word “sleep-over” to a six-year-old bed-wetter is like what “cancer” means to an adult. But what if I told them I was a bed-wetter? At least with cancer, people gather at your bedside instead of running from it. I thought of a way to escape. I would explain that I needed my mothers permission to spend the nights. But as I called my Mom, Heather stood beside me to listen. She gave permission! Then I would be sleeping in the same living room as the other girls. I didnt bring my own nightdress, so Mrs. Peters offered me Heathers nightdress. As the other girls fell into their sweet dreams, I tried to stay awake. “Do I need to go again? Ill stay up to go one more time”, “If I, Ill be embarrassed.”. Of course, I finally fell asleep. The next morning, I was the first to wake up. I was warm! I lay in bed frightened and it seemed like hours before the other girls started to wake up. I did the only thing I could do-I pretended that the bed-wetting didnt happen. I got up, took off Heathers nightdress and changed into my clothes like the other girls. Mrs. Peters walked into the room, and before she could say anything, she stepped right onto the pile of my wet nightdress. My heart stopped as I watched her face burn red. “WHO DID THIS?” She screamed, with a look so frightening. Should I answer? And that was when it happened-Mr. Peters came in and grabbed his wife, “Michael Jackson died!” The news of the Kings death shocked Mrs. Peters, and I got away with it. I got home without the other girls knowing what had happened.63. The author had to spend the night at Peters because _.A. she enjoyed her cake thereB. her mother asked her to do soC. the famous singer Michael Jackson died that nightD. she and her friends were having a sleepover party64. Mrs. Peters got angry because _.A. she found the wet nightdressB. Michael Jackson passed awayC. her husband was rude to herD. all the girls slept at her house65. From the story, we know Mrs. Peters was _.A. a crazy womanB. a fan of Michael JacksonC. a woman for perfectionD. a woman who hated to wash nightdress66. The passage is mainly about _.A. an embarrassing childhood incidentB. an adventure experienceC. a friendship between two girlsD. an unfriendly hostessDTwo friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever，even though neither once can remember how the whole thing got started. Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country. In fact，according to an official report on youth violence，“In our country today，the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment，but the terrible reality of violence”Given that this is the case，why arent students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems，drive cars，or stay physically fit?First of all，students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. A report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult(侮辱)For example，a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime. Laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults，which in turn can lead to violence. The problem isnt in the sandwich，but in the way students deal with the conflict.Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable，they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution(解决)：stay calm. Once the student feels calmer，he or she should choose words that will calm the other person down as well. Rude words，namecalling，and accusations only add fuel to the emotional fire. On the other hand，soft words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control.After both sides have calmed down，they can use another key strategy(策略)for conflict resolution：listening. Listening allows the two sides to understand each other. One person should describe his or her side，and the other person should listen without interrupting. Afterward，the listener can ask nonthreatening questions to clarify the speakers position. Then the two people should change roles.Finally，students need to consider what they are hearing. This doesnt mean trying to figure out whats wrong with the other person. It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to acplish. For example，a shouting match over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try new things. Students need to ask themselves questions such as these：How did this start？What do I really want？What am I afraid of？As the issue bees clearer，the conflict often simply bees smaller. Even if it doesnt，careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution.There will always be conflict in schools，but that doesnt mean there needs to be violence. After students in Atlanta started a conflict resolution program，according to Educators for Social Responsibility，“64 percent of the teachers reported less physical violence in the classroom；75 percent of the teachers reported an increase in student cooperation；and 92 percent of the students felt better about themselves”Learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends，teachers，parents，bosses，and coworkers. In that way，conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country.67. From Paragraph 2 we can learn that _A. violence is more likely to occur at lunchtimeB. a small conflict can lead to violenceC. students tend to lose their temper easilyD. the eating habit of a student is often the cause of a fight68. Why do students need to ask themselves the questions stated in Paragraph 5?A. To make clear what the real issue is. B. To get ready to try new things.C. To find out who is to blame. D. To figure out how to stop the shouting match.69. After the conflict resolution program was started in Atlanta，it was found that _A. more teachers felt better about themselves in schoolsB. there was less student cooperation in the classroom
