For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Most people believe they don’t have much imagination. They are    50  .Everyone has imagination, but most of us, once we become adults, forget how to    51  it. Creativity isn’t always   52  with great works of art or ideas. People at work and in their free time   53  think of creative ways to solve problems. Maybe you have a goal to achieve, a tricky question to answer or you just want to expand your mind! Here are three techniques to help you.
Making connections This technique involves taking   54  ideas and trying to find links between them. First, think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do. Then find an image, word, idea or object, for example, a candle. Write down all the idea/words   55  with candles: light, fire, matches, wax, night, silence, etc. Think of as many as you can. The next stage is to relate the   56  to the job you have to do. So imagine you want to buy a friend an original   57  ; you could buy him tickets to match or take him out for the night.
NO limits! Imagine that normal limitations don’t   58  . You have as much time/space/money, etc. as you want. Think about your goal and the new   59  .If your goal is to learn to ski,   60  , you can now practise skiing every day of your life （because you have the time and the money）. Now    61   this to reality.  Maybe you can practise skiing ever day in December, or every Monday in January.
Be someone else! Look at the situation from a    62  point of view. Good businessmen use this technique in trade, and so do writes. Fiction writers often imagine they are the   63  in their books. They ask question: What does this character want? Why can’t she get it? What changes must she make to get what she wants? If your goal involves other people, put yourself in their    64  . The best fishermen think like fish!

To Whom It May Concern:
My husband and I got married in 1965 and for the first ten years of our marriage I was very happy to stay home and raise our three children. Then four years ago, our youngest child went to school and I thought I might go back to work.
My husband was very supportive and helped me to make my decision. He emphasized all of the things I can do around the house, and said he thought I could be a great success in business.
After several weeks of job-hunting I found my present job, which is working for a small public relations firm. At first, my husband was very proud of me and would tell his friends , "My clever little wife can run that company she's working for."
But as his joking remark approached reality, my husband stopped talking to me about my job．I have received several promotions and pay increases , and I am now making more money than he is. I can buy my own clothes and a new car. Because of our combined incomes, my husband and I can do many things that we had always dreamed of doing , but we don't do these things because he is very unhappy.
We fight about little things and my husband is very critical of me in front of our friends. For the first time in our marriage, I think there is a possibility that our marriage may come to an end．
I love my husband very much, and I don't want him to feel inferior, but I also love my job．I think I can be a good wife and a working woman, but I don't know how .Can you give me some advice? Will I have to choose one or the other or can I keep both my husband and my new career?

In some remote Turkish village of Kuskoy, whistling is as important as talking．In fact, whistling is talking because the villagers speak and sing by whistling．Kuskoy parents begin to teach their boys and girls the language of whistling about the time the children learn to talk．It is considered so important that the village school includes it as one of the subjects taught along with the Turkish language.
This art of communication has taken centuries to develop．The village of Kuskoy spreads out across two hillsides that are separated by a deep valley．The villagers had to find an easy way to communicate where their voices couldn’t carry．They developed a high-pitched (高音的) whistle language that could be transmitted as far as five miles through air．As a result, Kuskoy, which means “bird village” in Turkish, has come to be known as a whistler’s paradise (樂園).
Whistling is so much part of everyday life in Kuskoy that men and women speak, argue, and court (求愛) in whistles．The story was recently told of a young couple who ran away secretly．The news was sent over the “mountain telephone” by whistling．The lover’s adventure was quickly known to all the villagers.
It is little wonder, then, that the children of Kuskoy study whistling in school．Wouldn’t it be fun to start the school day with a song—whistled of course!
小題1:The children of Kuskoy learn to whistle because __          _．
A．it is funB．it is an important way to communicate
C．it helps them learn to singD．it is like the Turkish language
小題2:In Kuskoy, whistling as a way of talking started __             _．
A．recentlyB．hundreds of years ago
C．fifty years agoD．ten years ago
小題3:Which one of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A．The high-pitched whistle can be heard at a distance of 5 km.
B．The parents were too ready to allow the young couple to marry each other.
C．The villagers found an easy way to communicate where they could be heard.
D．The villagers of Kuskoy are often informed of news by whistling.
小題4:Which of the following do you think is the best title for this story?
A．To Learn Whistle Is Very ImportantB．Whistling Is Fun

Maybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father, "But, Dad, you can't be healthy if you're dead."
　　Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt-- a mistake 75% of US population make every day. The big question is why.
　There have been many myths about safety belt ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are three of the most common.
　Myth the Number One: It's best to be "thrown clear" of a serious accident.
　　Truth: Sorry, but any accident serious enough to "throw you clear" is able going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing. And chances are you'll have traveled through a windshield (擋風(fēng)玻璃)or door to do it. Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times in cases where people are "thrown clear".
　Myth Number Two: Safety-bets "trap" people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.
Truth: Sorry again, but studies show that people knocked unconscious (昏迷) due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situation, not to be trapped in them.
　Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren't needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour (mph).
　Truth: When two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 metres.
小題1:Why did Elizabeth say to her father, "But, Dad, you can't be healthy if you're dead"?
A．He was driving at great speed.
B．He was running across the street.
C．He didn't have his safety belt on.
D．He didn't take his medicine on time.
小題2:The reason father was in a hurry to get home was that he __________.
A．wasn't feeling very wellB．hated to drive in the dark
C．wanted to take some exerciseD．didn't want to be caught by the people
小題3: According to the text, to be "thrown clear" of a serious accident is very dangerous because you ________.
A．may be knocked down by other cars.
B．may get serious hurt thrown out of the car
C．may find it impossible to get away from the seat
D．may get caught in the car door
小題4:Some people prefer to drive without wearing a safety belt because they believe _______.
A．the belt prevents them from escaping in an accident
B．they will be unable to think clearly in an accident
C．they will be caught when help comes
D．cars catch fire easily
小題5:What is the advice given in the test?

Everyone has good days and bad days.
Sometimes, you feel as if you’re on top of the world. But occasionally you feel horrible, and you lose things and you cannot focus on your schoolwork.
For more than 20 years, scientists have suggested that high self-esteem (自尊) is the key to success. Now, new research shows that focusing just on building self-esteem may not be helpful. In some cases, having high self-esteem can bring bad results if it makes you less likeable or more upset when you fail at something.
“Forget about self-esteem,” says Jennifer Crocker, a psychologist (心理學(xué)家) at the University of Michigan, US. “It’s not the important thing.”
Feeling good
Crocker’s advice may sound a bit strange because it is good to feel good about yourself.
Studies show that people with high self-esteem are less likely to be depressed, anxious, shy, or lonely than those with low self-esteem.
But, after reviewing about 18,000 studies on self-esteem, Roy Baumeister, a psychologist at Florida State University, has found that building up your self-esteem will not necessarily make you a better person.
He believes that violent and wicked people often have the highest self-esteem of all. He also said: “There’s no evidence that kids with high self-esteem do better in school.”
Problems
All types of people have problems. People with high self-esteem can have big egos (自我) that can make them less likeable to their peers(同齡人), said Kathleen Vohs, a psychology professor at Columbia University.
People with high self-esteem tend to think more of themselves, Vohs says. People with low self-esteem are more likely to rely on their friends when they need help.
What to do
Researchers say it is best to listen to and support other people. Find positive ways to contribute to society. If you fail at something try to learn from the experience. “The best therapy (藥方) is to recognize your faults,” Vohs says. “It’s OK to say, ‘I’m not so good at that,’ and then move on.”
小題1:The new research comes to the conclusion that high self-esteem ________.
A．is not important at allB．has taken on a different meaning
C．may not be the key to successD．does not help you do better at school
小題2:One of the conclusions of the new research is that ________.
A．feeling good about oneself doesn’t mean you lead a happier life
B．people with high esteem usually do not seek other’s help
C．people with high esteem tend to be proud
D．people with low esteem are often more popular
小題3:The underlined part “a better person” in the passage probably means a person who is ________.
A．helpful and supportiveB．gentle and modest
C．likable and successfulD．friendly and kind
小題4:From the text, we can infer the best therapy mentioned in the last paragraph is mainly for people ________.
A．with high self-esteemB．with low self-esteem
C．of all kindsD．who are focusing on building self-esteem

At a certain time in our lives we consider every place as the possible sites(地點(diǎn)) for a house. I have thus searched the country within a dozen miles of where I live. In imagination I have bought all the farms, one after another, and I knew their prices.
The nearest thing that I came to actual ownership was when I bought the Hollowell place. But before the owner completed the sale with me, his wife changed her mind and wished to keep it, and he offered me additional dollars to return the farm to him. However, I let him keep the additional dollars and sold him the farm for just what I gave for it.
The real attractiong of the Hollowell farm to me were its position, being about two miles from the village, half a mile from the nearest neighbor, bounded(相鄰) on one side by the river, and separated from the highway by a wide field. The poor condition fo the house and fences showed that it hadn’t been used for some time. I remembered from my earliest trip up the river that the house used to be hidden behind a forest area, and I was in a hurry to buy it before the owner finished getting out some rocks, cutting down the apples trees, and clearing away some young trees which had grown up in the fields. I wanted to buy it before he made any more of his improvements. But it turned out as I have said.
I was not really troubled by the loss. I had always had a garden, but I don’t thing I was ready for a large farm. I believe that as long as possible it is better to live free and uncommitted (無牽掛的). It makes but little difference whether you own a farm or not.

Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.
My earliest memories of my father are a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and his family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.
On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor café. We walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father’s critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?
The next day dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I’m delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.
56. Why did the author feel bitter about her father as a young adult?
A. He was silent most of the time.
B. He was too proud of himself.
C. He did not love his children.
D. He expected too much of her.
57. When the author went out with her father on weekend, she would feel         .
A. nervous                B. sorry              C. tired            D. safe
58. What does the author think of her father after her visit to Tucson?
A. More critical.          B. More talkative
C. Gentle and friendly.     D. Strict and hard-working.
59. The underlined words “my new friend” in the last paragraph refer to         .
A. the author’s son                               B. the author’s father
C. the friend of the author’s father         D. the café owner
