4．Long long ago there lived a wise man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing．He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work．
One day he was walking along the shore．As he looked down the beach，he saw a human figure moving like a dancer．He smiled to himself at the thought that someone would dance on the beach．So he began to walk faster to catch up．
As he got closer，he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn't dancing，but instead he was reaching down to the shore，picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean．
As he got closer he called out，"Good morning!What are you doing？"
The young man paused，looked up and replied，"Throwing starfish in the ocean．""I guess I should have asked，why are you throwing starfish in the ocean？""The sun is up and the tide is going out，and if I don't throw them in they'll die．"
"But，young man，don't you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it．You can't possibly make a difference!"
The young man listened politely，then he bent down，picked another starfish and threw it into the sea，past the breaking waves and said，"It made a difference for that one．"
There is something very special in each and every one of us．We have all been gifted with the ability to make a difference．And if we can know that gift，we will gain through the strength of our visions the power to shape the future．
We must each find our starfish．And if we throw our starfish wisely and well，the world will be better．

59．One day，the wise man saw the young manD．
A．dancing along the beach         
B．walking with a dancer
C．picking up starfish for sale      
 D．trying to save as many starfish as possible
60．Near the end of the passage，"something very special"refers toB．
A．the gifts from friends          
B．the ability of shaping one's own future
C．our own starfish               
D．the strength of making decision
61．From the last two paragraphs，we can learn thatA．
A．the wise man realized something new and important
B．the wise man thought it was foolish of the young man to throw starfish into the ocean
C．the young man had the ability to make a difference
D．it is necessary for us to save starfish on the beach
62．The writer told this story in order to show usB．
A．how and where we can write a good article
B．everyone can do something for the future
C．wise men are sometimes stupid
D．young people are actually wiser than old people．

解答 59．D．細節(jié)理解題．第一段中he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn't dancing，instead he was reachingdown to the shore，picking up something and very gently and throwing it into the ocean．結合下文的問答可知那位年輕人在努力救海星，所以該選D．
60．B．詞義猜測題．根據(jù)下文中We have all been gifted with the ability to make a difference．可知somethingvery special指的是the ability to make a difference即與眾不同的能力，所以該選B．

62．B．主旨大意題．細讀全文尤其是最后一段We must each find our starfish．And if we throw our starfish wisely and well，the world will be better可知作者旨在通過該故事告訴人們每個人都可以為將來做一些事，所以該選B．

David says，"And one minute's nearly four pounds．"

She has asked the man at the hotel desk to get her the number．The telephone rings．Linda pi cks it up．
"Hello，Mum．Is that you？"She says．
"Six pence per second，"David reminds her．

9．Our habits are what shape us---our words，our behavior，and even our life itself．（36）F
•Pity yourself．
All bad habits start with never-ending pity for your unhappy self and talking endlessly about your bad luck．Your figure，income，education，apartment，the weather，and even the tiniest inconvenience can become a cause for feeling upset．Those who develop the habit of pitying themselves lose the sympathy （同情） of people around them． （37）D
•Assess everything in terms of money．
Some people think that happiness can be achieved by having lots of money and that you can't really enjoy life if you don't wear fancy clothes，live in a big house or drive an expensive car． （38）GInstead，they think it's their ability to attract it．A truly successful person is not totally dependent on his or her money．
•（39）A
Scientists say that people who don't feel like they belong in their jobs are very likely to feel unhappy and live in poverty．The reason for this is their feelings that make them do what they don't want and don't like to do．To get rid of this habit for good，you should put your strength and energy into something satisfying．This is the only way to achieve excellent results．
•Stay away from your relatives．
（40）E．And that's obvious，because it's the only place where you can find relief and support when everything comes crashing down around you．

A．Do what you don't like．
B．It's time to change your living pattern!
C．As a result，they often have low-paid jobs．
D．Nobody wants to be around those people．
E．Most successful people love and cherish their family the most．
F．And among them are some habits that should be avoided at all costs．
G．However，wise people do not refer to wealth as the amount of money they get．

13．While there are many different approaches for dealing with stress，arming your body with mood-improving food is one of the most basic places to start．Try adding the following foods to your diet 一 and step 
away from the bread and cake．
1．Eggs
     Rich in protein，eggs also provide calcium，iron，zinc，selenium，phosphorous，and vitamins A，D，E，and K，making them one of the most nutritional foods around．Drew Ramsey，author of The Happiness Diet，praises nutrient-rich foods for battling stress and notes that eggs are part of his favorite anxiety-reducing breakfast．
2．Fish
     Eating fish can have many benefits，including combating stress．Fish （like sardines，salmon and tuna） is rich in omega-3 fatty acids．Studies show omega-3 fatty acids help protect neurons （神經(jīng)元）from harm．Omega-3 fatty acids have also been linked to helping with depression as well as encouraging more positive social behavior in children．
3．Red peppers，papaya and kiwi
They have more vitamin C per serving than oranges．Multiple studies point to vitamin C for curbing （控制）stress hormones （荷爾蒙）．As Psychology Today reports，"People who have high levels of vitamin C do not show the expected mental and physical signs of stress when subjected to acute psychological 
challenges．What's more，they bounce back（彈回）from stressful situations faster than people with low
 levels of vitamin C in their blood．"
4．Tea
     Drinking black tea may help you recover from stressful events more quickly，notes WebMD．One 
study looked at people who consumed four cups of tea daily for six weeks，and compared with people 
who drank something else．At the end of the study，the tea drinkers reported feeling calmer and had 
lower levels of the stress hormone after stressful situations．
5．Dark chocolate
     Cocoa in chocolate can help improve the mood and support clear thinking．Studies also show dark chocolate can help people feel good and decrease stress．Not to mention，it might make you smarter．Is it 
just a coincidence that the higher a country's chocolate consumption，the more Nobel winners it creates？More chocolate，please．

36．To reduce stress，one is supposed to eatA．
A．less bread   B．more cake   C．fewer sardines? D．less kiwi
37．We can know that the salmon is a kind ofD．
A．tea   B．fruit   C．vitamin   D．fish
38．What do red peppers，papaya and kiwi have in common？C
A．They contain plenty of omega-3 fatty acids．
B．They can help reduce expected mental and physical signs of challenges．
C．They are richer in vitamin C than oranges．
D．They can bounce back quickly when they fall to the ground．
39．What do you know about the stress hormone？D
A．The stress hormone can protect neurons from any harm．
B．The stress hormone can raise a person's blood pressure．
C．The stress hormone can make people feel calmer．
D．The stress hormone can result in high stress level．
40．Which of the following is the best title？A
A．Eat Well and Stay Away from Stress
B．Some Foods Improving Your Mood
C．Some Snacks Combating Your Stress
D．Different  Approaches for Dealing with Stress．
