They are a band of visionaries (有远见的人) some of the worlds wealthiest businessmen who are using their wealth, their energy, their fame, and their 43 of law and science to persuade the world to take a new 44 to save the Earth.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.I teach economics at UNLV three times per week. Last Monday, at the beginning of class, I 50 asked my students how their weekend had been. One young man said that his weekend had not been so good. He had his wisdom teeth 51 . The young man then proceeded to ask me why I always seemed to be so cheerful. His question 52 me of something Id read somewhere before: “Every morning when you get up, you have a choice about how you want to 53 life that day,” I said. “I choose to be cheerful.”“Let me give you an example,” I continued, 54 all sixty students in the class. “In addition to teaching here at UNLV, I also teach out at the community college in Henderson, 17 miles down the freeway from where I live. One day a few weeks ago I drove those 17 miles to Henderson. I 55 the freeway and turned onto College Drive. I only had to drive another quarter mile down the road to the college. But just then my car died. I tried to start it again, but the engine wouldnt 56 . So I put my flashers on, grabbed my books, and 57 down the road to the college.” “As soon as I got there I called AAA（汽车协会）and asked them to 58 for a tow truck to meet me at my car after class. The secretary in the office asked me what has happened. This is my lucky day, I replied, 59 .” “But your car breaks down, she was 60 . What do you mean?”“I live 17 miles from here. I replied. My car could have broken down anywhere along the freeway. It didnt. Instead, it broke down in the 61 place: off the freeway, within walking distance of here. Im still able to teach my class, and Ive been able to apply for the tow truck to meet me after class. If my car was 62 to break down today, it couldnt have been arranged in a more convenient fashion.” “The secretarys eyes opened wide, and then she smiled. I smiled back and headed for class.” So ended my story. I scanned the sixty faces in my 63 class at UNLV. Despite the early hour, no one seemed to be asleep. Somehow, my story had touched them. Or maybe it wasnt the story at all. In fact, it had all started with a students 64 that I was cheerful.50. A. seriously B. cheerfully C. curiouslyD. coldly51.

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)I made a pledge (发誓) to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts.The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting a Biblical (圣经) passage about husbands being thoughtful of their wives. Then he went on to say, “Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change.And it did. Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks great on you.”“Oh, Tom, you noticed,” she said, surprised and pleased. Maybe a little puzzled.After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, “Evelyns been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me.” We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, thats how the whole vacation passed. I made a new pledge to keep on remembering to choose love.There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today. On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with saddest expression.“Whats the matter?” I asked her.“Tom,” she said in a voice filled with distress, “do you know something I dont?”“What do you mean?”“Well that checkup I had several weeks ago our doctor did he tell you something about me? Tom, youve been so good to me am I dying?”It took a moment for it all to sink in. Then I burst out laughing.“No, honey,” I said, wrapping her in my arms. “Youre not dying; Im just starting to live.”65. In the first paragraph, “No ifs, ands or buts” probably mean _.A. unnecessarily B. unconditionally C. impossibly D. unexpectedly66. From the story we may infer that Tom drove to the beach cottage _.A. alone B. with his family C. with Evelyn D. with his children 67. During the two weeks on the beach, Tom showed more love to his wife because _.A. she looked lovely in her new clothesB. she was seriously illC. he was determined to be a good husbandD. he had made a lot of money in Wall Street 68. By saying “Im just starting to live,” Tom means that _.A. he is beginning to feel regret for what he did to his wife before B. he lived an unhappy life before and is now starting to changeC. he is just beginning to understand the real meaning of lifeD. he is just beginning to enjoy life as a loving husband (B) (Note: You may read the questions first.)Tsunami warning system is testedIf he, the founder of the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, were alive, Thomas Jaggar would be proud of the U.S. tsunami warning system after Fridays devastating earthquake in Japan sent a surge (大浪，汹涌) of ocean water dashing toward the West Coast.

It is a new, uncertain journey at a time when peace in life is treasured. Personal financial security is a powerful motivator to keep control of the business. The inability to “let go” is even more difficult for those who founded their businesses at a time of unemployment or family poverty.For many who build successful enterprises, their business is their identity. It is said of one woman business owner, still in control in her 90s, that “work is her oxygen.” Some entrepreneurs （企业家） started their businesses at least in part to prove themselves to former bosses who had rejected or doubted them. We find that they cling to their creations more strongly than most. For these reasons and others, too many business founders refuse to retire. They insist that only they are capable of running the business. Jealousy or insecurities relating to declining power generate interpersonal conflicts that spoil succession (接替；继位) planning or even the performance of potential successors.If an executive has not quite achieved what he had hoped, he often wants the opportunity to stay in the game. Rather than a graceful transition, the succession process can become a war. The parties to such a combat, however, should remember Winston Churchills warning to the House of Commons: “If we open a quarrel between the past a
