Lisa, 25, had a lot to do at work, plus visitors on the way; her parents were coming in for Thanksgiving from her hometown. But as she hurried down the subway stairs. she started to feel uncomfortably warm. By the time she got to the platform, Lisa felt weak and tiredmaybe it hadnt been a good idea to give blood the night before, she thought. She rested herself against a post close to the tracks. Several yards away, Frank, 43 and his girlfriend, Jennifer, found a spot close to where the front of the train would stop. They were deep in discussion about a house they were thinking of buying. But when he heard the scream, followed by someone yelling, “Oh, my God, she fell in! ” Frank didnt hesitate. He jumped down to the tracks and ran some 40 feet toward the body lying on the rails. “No! Not you!” his girlfriend screamed after him. She was right to be alarmed. By the time Frank reached Lisa, he could feel the tracks shaking and see the light coming. The train was about 20 seconds from the station. It was hard to lift her. She was just out. But he managed to raise her four feet to the platform so that bystanders could hold her by the arms and drag her away from the edge. That was where Lisa briefly regained consciousness, felt herself being pulled along the ground, and saw someone else holding her purse. Lisa thought shed been robbed. A woman held her hand and a man gave his shirt to help stop the blood pouring from her head. And she tried to talk but she couldnt, and that was when she realized how much pain she was in. Police and fire officials soon arrived, and Frank told the story, to an officer.

I see a one-legged man go through ash trays for cigarette butts and trash cans for food outside fast food restaurants. It was only a month before Christmas and it was starting to get cold, so I could not stop thinking about him. That year my husband and I didnt have enough money to spend much on presents, but I figured what was too little for us would be a lot for someone who had nothing. So one day I bought a toothbrush，some toothpaste and some cans of tuna (金枪鱼), just a few little things that didnt cost much and then I added a blanket and sweatshirts to them. I prepared a box so that it looked like a present and went in search of this man. I saw him hobbling (蹒跚) away from the trash can next to McDonald, so I pulled over, grabbed the box and went up to him. I said, “I would like to give you a Christmas present. There are some food items here and some other things I think you might be able to use. ” He looked at me and said, “No, thank you. I just had lunch. I dont need anything. ”Then he hobbled on down the sidewalk, leaving me standing there in tears. I took the box down to a little shop that gave things out to the poor and the homeless and told them what had happened. Then I asked them to give the box to someone who could use it. The person there told me not to be upset, but I told her I was not crying for myself but for him because what I had done took away his dignity by treating him like a beggar. I was so ashamed. What a great lesson it was for me to learn, though accepting help is sometimes harder than giving it. 76. According to the text, it is obvious that .

Which would be the best title for the text? A. A Proud Beggar B. A Lesson About Dignity D. What Do We Need? D. An Unfortunate ExperienceC Everyone becomes a little more forgetful as they get older, but mens minds decline more than womens ,according to the results of a worldwide survey. Certain differences seem to be inherent in male and female brains: men are better at dealing with mental images (useful in mathematical reasoning and spatial (三维空间) skills), while women tend to excel (擅长) at recalling information from their brains files (helpful with language skills and remembering the locations of objects). Many studies have looked for a connection between sex and the amount of mental decline people experience as they age, but the results have been mixed. Some studies found more age-related decline in men than in women, while others saw the opposite or even no relationship at all between sex and mental decline. Those results could be improper because the studies involved older people, and women live longer than men. The men tested are the survivors, “so theyre the ones that may not have shown such cognitive (认知的) decline, ” said study team leader Elizabeth of the University of Warwick in England. People surveyed completed four tasks that tested sex-related cognitive skills: matching an object to its rotated (旋转的) form, matching lines shown from the same angle, typing as many words in a particular category as possible in the given time, e. g. “objects usually colored gray”, and recalling the location of objects in a line drawing. The first two were tasks at which men usually excel; the latter are typically dominated by women. Within each age group studied, men and women performed better in their separate categories on average. And though performance declined with age for both sexes, women showed obviously less decline than men overall. 81. The underlined word “inherent” in the second paragraph means .A. original B. native C. natural D. absolute 82. Which of the following tasks are men better at? A. Matching lines shown from the same angle. B. Typing as many words in a particular category as possible C. Recalling the location of objects in a line drawing. D. Recalling information from their brains files. 83. Which of the following statements can be inferred from the passage? A. Men excel at typing words in a particular category in the given time. B. Women excel at dealing with mathematic problems. C. Men do better than women when it comes to learning English. D. Women stand out at remembering peoples names. 84. What important factor affects the correctness of the research results?A. People tested come from all over the world. B. Men live longer than women. C. Not enough old men were tested. D. The researchers got their results mixed. 85. The author aims to tell us that . A. the survey on humans mind decline was done recently B. mens minds decline more with age C. everyone becomes a little more forgetful as they get olderD. womens minds perform better than mensD Among rich countries, people in the United States work the longest hours. They work much longer than in Europe. This difference is quite surprising because productivity per hour worked is the same in the United States as it is in France, Spain and Germany, and it is growing at a similar speed. In most countries and at most times in history, as people have become richer they have chosen to work less. In other words they have decided to spend” a part of their extra income on a fuller personal life. Over the last fifty years Europeans have continued this pattern, and hours of work have fallen sharply. But not in the United States. We do not fully know why this is. One reason may be more satisfying work, or less satisfying personal lives. Another may be greatly lower taxes in America, which increase the rewards to work. Longer hours do of course increase the GDP (国内生产总值). So the United States has produced more per worker than, say, France. The United States also has more of its people at work, while in France many more mothers and older workers have decided to stay at home. The overall result is that American GDP per head is 40higher than in France, even though productivity per hour worked is the same. It is not clear which of the two situations is better. As we have seen, work has to be compared with other values like family life, which often get lost in interest. It is too early to explain the different trends in happiness over time in different countries. But it is a disappointing idea that in the United States happiness has made no progress since 1975, while it has risen in Europe. Could this have anything to do with trends in the work-life balance?86. From the text we know that t
