8．Dear Daisy，
Phew!I'm so glad that day is over．I was so worried all summer that my first day at my new school would be terrible．
I'm really tired，but my first day at school went well and I feel much better now．
First of all，we had to meet outside the school building．I was very nervous because my primary school only had 300 pupils but in the secondary school there are about 1，300．What a difference!The older pupils are really big．I felt so small waiting there in front of the school．
The other problem was that I didn't know anyone．My family moved over the summer holidays，because of Dad's new job．So now I have to try to make some new friends．Standing in front of the school this morning，I wanted to be back at my old school with my old friends．
The head teacher came out and told us to go into the school hall．Then he called our names out to tell us which class we were in．My class teacher is called Mrs．Black．She took us to our classroom．It's on the 5th floor and …guess what？…We aren't allowed to use the lift．I couldn't believe it．
When we were walking up all the stairs I started talking to another boy who didn't know anyone．He said his family had moved from Hong Kong over the summer．He seemed really nice so we sat together when we got to our classroom，out of breath!He said his English was very poor but I thought it was really good．
We spent all morning with Mrs．Black looking at our timetables．Everyone in the school has a different timetable-can you believe it？Half of the school is learning Spanish as a second language and the other half learns French．I'm in the Spanish group，which sounds like fun．I'm worried that I'll forget my timetable and go to the wrong room!How will anyone help me if nobody else has the same timetable as me？
Lunchtime was OK．After lunch we started lessons．I had maths，which was complicated and difficult and then history，where we started to learn about ancient Greece．That looks interesting．I have to do some homework tonight to find out how the ancient Greek people lived．
So far so good．I'm quite looking forward to tomorrow，even though I've got science．I hate science!
Jason

19．"The world's oceans are slowly getting more acidic．"say scientists．The researchers from California report that the change is taking place in response to higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere．
         The lowering of the waters'PH value is not great at the moment but could cause a serious threat to current ocean life if it continues，they warn．Ken Caldeira and Michael Wickett，from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory，report their concerns in the journal Nature．Increasing use of oil fuels means more carbon dioxide is going into the air，and most of it will eventually be absorbed by seawater．Once in the water，it reacts to form carbonic acid．Scientists believe that the oceans have already become slightly more acidic over the last century．
         These researchers have tried to predict what will happen in the future by combining what we know about the history of the oceans with computer models of climate change．"This level of acidity will get much more extreme in the future if we continue releasing CO2 into the atmosphere，"said Dr Caldeira．And we predict the amount of future acidity will exceed（超過） anything we have seen over the last several hundred million years，let alone perhaps after rare disastrous events such as asteroid（小行星） impacts
          However，it is not absolutely clear what that means for ocean life．Most organisms live near the surface，where the greatest PH change would be expected to occur，but deep-ocean life forms may be more sensitive to PH changes．Coral reefs（珊瑚礁） and other organisms whose shells contain calcium carbonate（碳酸鈣） may be particularly affected if the water's acidity levels keep going up，the team predict．They could find it much more difficult to build these structures in water with a lower PH．
         In recent years some people have suggested storing carbon dioxide from power station in the deep ocean as a way of dealing with global warming．But Dr Caldeira said that such a strategy should now be re-considered．"Previously，most experts had looked at ocean absorption of carbon dioxide as a good thing--because in releasing CO2 into the atmosphere we warm the planet，and when CO2 is absorbed by the ocean，it reduces the amount of greenhouse warming．"
57．The ocean is becoming more acidic due toC．
A．the lower water PH value                                     
B．the warming atmosphere
C．the higher level of CO2 in the air                         
D．the increasing use of oil fuels
58．According to Dr Caldeira，D．
A．ocean absorption of carbon dioxide is a good thing
B．more oil fuels will be used in the near future
C．scientists may predict climate changes with computer models
D．the future situation of the amount of acidity is extremely serious
59．If the water's acidity level keeps rising，A 
A．ocean life whose structures contain calcium carbonate may be affected
B．the water's PH value will become higher and higher
C．organisms living near the surface are more sensitive to PH changes
D．some disastrous events will occur more often than before
60．Most experts once believed storing carbon dioxide in the ocean would reduceB．
A．the CO2 absorbed by the ocean                          
B．the amount of greenhouse warming
C．the acidity of the ocean                                         
D．the gradual release of CO2．

16．Born in 1910，my mother was the first director I ever met．Wearing an apron and teaching tap in the basement of our apartment building，she was a housewife and dance teacher．Even from a young age she was an entertainer who thought performing was not just a hobby or even a profession but a way of living that was as essential as breathing or eating．
Mom was always"on"from her energetic teaching of her dance students to her late-night work when she would type out songs，dance routines，and funny plays for her dance recital．I would be in my bed and still hear her typewriter as I went to sleep at night．Her typing sounded like rain．Always working，she would go to Broadway shows，steal the routines，and come back and type them out for her students to perform．I knew right from the beginning that if I could make my mom laugh，then I could make her love me．
When I grew up and moved to Hollywood as an adult，I would later create 14prime-time TV shows and direct 17movies．During my five decades in show business，I never forgot my mother's advice to find the humor in anything．I wanted to entertain the world and not put people to sleep．If my mom had been born at a different time in history she might have become a stage actress or a performer herself．Instead，she trained my two sisters and I to work in the field of entertainment．She remains to this day my inspiration and creative compass．I will never stop carrying on my mother's message，and I will never stop missing her．In fact，as a  tribute to my mother I built The Marjorie Ward Marshall Dance Center at Northwestern University．Whenever I visit the building it helps remind me that to entertain people and make them laugh is what my own career has been all about．

26．The author's mother worked as aC．
A．movie director       B．stage actress
C．dance instructor     D．businesswoman
27．Why did the author's mother work deep into night even at home？D

3．In our culture，the sources of what we call a sense of"mastery"-feeling important and worthwhile-and the sources of what we call a sense of"pleasure"-finding life enjoyable-are not always the same．Women often are told"You can't have it all．"Sometimes what the speaker really is saying is："You choose a career，so you can't expect to have closer relationships or a happy family life．"or"You have a wonderful husband and children-what's all this about wanting a career？"But women need to understand and develop both aspects of well-being，if they are to feel good about themselves．
Our study shows that，for women，well-being has two aspects．One is mastery，which includes self-respect，a sense of control over your life，and low levels of anxiety and depression．Mastery is closely related to the"doing"side of life，to work and activity．Pleasure is the other aspect，and it is made up of happiness，satisfaction and optimism．It is tied more closely to the"feeling"side of life．The two are independent of each other．A woman could be high in mastery and low in pleasure，and vice versa（反之亦然）．For example，a woman who has a good job，but whose mother has just died，might be feeling very good about herself and in control of her work life，but the pleasure side could be damaged for a time．
The concepts of mastery and pleasure can help us identify the sources of well-being for women，and correct past mistakes．In the past，women were encouraged to look only at the feeling side of life as the source of all well-being．But we know that both mastery and pleasure are important．And mastery seems to be achieved largely through work．In our study，all the groups of employed women were valued significantly higher in mastery than women who were not employed．
A woman's well-being is developed when she takes on multiple roles．At least by middle adulthood，the women who were involved in a combination of roles-marriages，motherhood，and employment-were the highest in well-being，in spite of warnings about stress and strain．

65．It can be inferred from the first paragraph thatD．
A．for women，a sense of"mastery"is more important than a sense of"pleasure"
B．for women，a sense of"pleasure"is more important than a sense of"mastery"
C．women can't have a sense of"mastery"and a sense of"pleasure"at the same time
D．a(chǎn) sense of"mastery"and a sense of"pleasure"are both necessary to women
66．The author's attitude towards women having a career isB．
A．negative         B．positive         C．indifferent          D．realistic
67．One can conclude from the passage that if a woman takes on several social roles，D．
A．it will be easier for her to overcome stress and strain
B．she will be more successful in her career
C．her chances of getting promoted will be greater
D．her life will be richer and more meaningful
68．Which of the following can be considered as a source of"pleasure"for women？A
A．Family life                              B．Multiple roles in society
C．Regular employment                       D．Freedom from anxiety．

20．Michael，Rae，Jequita，Alice，Sarah and Phyllis have at least one thing in common：They all love animals so much that they're driven to volunteer regularly at the Romulus Animal Shelter．
The six Romulus-area residents give as much time as they can to perform various tasks at the shelter，help make life more comfortable for the dogs and cats that stay there and do their best to find permanent homes for the stray（流浪）pets．
The shelter，at 12300 Wayne Road，opened in June 2011and operates on money raised in the community．To date，bingos and other fundraising activities have brought in more than＄177.000，according to community leader William Wadsworth，but a tight budget requires the efforts of volunteers to make ends meet．
"Without their help，this building would not be an outstanding place，"Wadsworth said．"Their time and devotion is beyond what I ever expected．And I thank them all．"
The volunteers work at the direction of two animal control officers，Annie Hall and Kim Ratcliff，who spend much of their day patrolling（巡邏）the city and housing stray dogs and cats．The two，both with 32 years of experience，count on the public to be the eyes and cars of the shelter．They are also responsible for addressing complaints and taking care of the shelter．
That's where the volunteers come in．They take photos of the animals and post them on Facebook and other websites for adoption．They clean cages，play with the animals，feed and bathe the pets and take the dogs for walks．They pick up supplies and even clean the restrooms．
"We couldn't do it without them，"said Ratcliff．"They come in and go right to work．We depend on them a lot．They help run the place，"added Hall．
