Friendship can deeply affect the physical and mental health of both men and women. Studies show that people who have no friends or who are lonely,are more likely to die earlier,get sick more often and suffer greater physical wear and tear(折磨)than those who have a support system of friends.
  Sometimes,family members may be more likely to give you advice or tell you what you don’t want to hear. It may not be as good as a friend who will listen to you and guide you,but support your decisions anyway. The most important elements about friendship are those who suffer support and do not judge your decisions based on society.
  One reason for the link between social support and good health practice seems to be that people who feel cared for by others are less stress-out and are protected against the symptoms(癥狀)of depression and loneliness.
  Generally,women benefit most because of how they deal with stress. Women are more social in how they deal with stress than men, while men are more likely to have a“fight or flight”reaction.
  Women also tend to have larger,denser social network,in which more people know each other and help each other, while men typically have smaller groups of friends and will rely on their wives or other important people for more support. While all these affect people psychologically(心理上),friendship brings comfort that reduces the ill effects of stress, and the sex difference also contributes to the difference in the length of one’s life time.
63.In the author’s opinion,a real friend should _____.
A.tell you what to do even if you refuse to hear it
B.try to persuade you to change your mind quickly
C.judge your decision according to his/her experience
D.give you advice but respect your own decision
64.Women benefit more from friendship than men because_____.
A.women are always cared for by more people than men
B.women are usually less stress—out when staying with others
C.women are more likely to solve problems with friends’ help
D.women can always keep more long-life friendship than men
65.According to the passage we can infer that _____.
A.it’s good for women to tell men what they should do or not
B.friends are always more important than family members
C.men don’t want to share their problems with many people
D.the trend that women can live longer makes them more relaxed
66.This passage mainly talks about _____.
A.why people should develop friendship
B.when friendship affects people’s health
C.people’s different attitudes towards friendship
D.the friendship which can make people live longer

    In ancient China tea was probably used as a relish(開胃小菜) and as a medicine. Tea was first brewed(煮泡) as a medicine around 2,700 BC in the western mountains of China. Tea was likely seen as healthy in part because it was made with boiled water, which is safer to drink in an area of polluted water.
    Tea drinking, and commercial cultivation(種植),spread during the Tang Dynasty, 618-907, especially after a Buddhist monk(佛教僧侶), wrote a book on the virtues of tea, Cha Ching. Tea gradually became one of the seven basic necessities of Chinese life (The others are fuel, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar.)
    A Japanese Buddhist priest, Saicho, is believed to have introduced tea to Japan, when he returned from a visit to China in 805. In Japan tea drinking was considered medicinal, and became closely associated with Zen Buddhism(禪宗).
    Tea drinking also spread to Korea and Southeast Asia, and was taken over the Silk Road to Central Asia, Russia, and the Middle East.
    Dutch explorers became familiar with tea in the 1590s and were soon importing tea to Europe. In 1657 the British East India Company held the first public sale of tea in England, while that same year Thomas Garraway began offering tea at his London coffee house.
    In 1662 tea received a big boost(推進(jìn)) in England when the Portuguese Catherine of Braganza, married King Charles II and introduced tea drinking to the British court.
    Gradually, the British fell in love with tea, and with the sugar that went in it. In 1665, less than 88 tons of sugar was imported to Great Britain. By 1700, it had increased to 10,000 tons of sugar. In 1768 the East India Company imported 10 million pounds of tea to Britain.
    1. Tea has been used as a medicine in China for _________.
    A. about 8,000 years      B. about 4,700 years     
    C. about 2,200 years      D. about 2,700 years
    2. Tea began to spread as a popular drink in China because of _______.
    A. the Silk Road              B. the basic necessities of Chinese life
    C. a famous book about tea   D. its association with Zen Buddhism
    3. According to the text, we can infer that Britain________.
    A. first introduced tea to Europe
    B. was the first country to trade with China for tea
    C. was the first country to have learned about tea from China
    D. may be the biggest imported country of tea in Europe even today
    4. What is the text mainly about?
    A. The history of tea             B. How tea was introduced to other countries
    C. China is the home of tea   D. The importance of tea

    閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳答案,并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。
    Today most Chinese teenagers are happy to be favored by two parents and four grandparents
    in their families. But have you ever thought about how to take care of four to twelve old people
    when you grow up and get married? This could be a problem for most Chinese youths as China is
    entering a new stage of an aging society.
    An aging society refers to one where 10 percent or more of its population is over 60. By the end of 2007, Chinese over 60 years old have made up 11.7 percent of the nation’s total population.
    “China is getting old before becoming rich,” said Cai Chuang, a professor at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. The population increase that has powered Chinese growth for three decades will give way over the next ten years to a rapid aging of the society. This will lead to weaker economic growth, because of a lack of labor resources.
    As a result of the family planning policy, it is expected that the country’s total working population will decrease after 2015.
    China is not the only country getting old. More that 60 countries have become aging societies and one in three people in the European Union is a senior citizen.
    However, experts said that China doesn’t have a highly developed social security network to support the old. Social security is an insurance program protecting those in need, including the old, the disabled and others.
    56.An aging society is a society that        .
    A.less that 10% of its population is over 60
    B.10% or more of its population is over 60
    C.there are four old people in a family
    D.most of its population is over 60
    57.If China enters an aging society,      .
    A.there will not be enough labor resources
    B.the family planning policy will be ended
    C.everyone needs to take care of four to twelve old people
    D.China will have a highly developed social security network
    58.What does Cai Chuang mean by saying “China is getting old before becoming rich.”?
    A.China will be an aging society, then be a developed country.
    B.China will be a rich country before being an aging society.
    C.An aging society will affect Chinese economy development.
    D.China will stop developing because of its aging problem.
    59.The passage mainly talks about         .
    A.a(chǎn)n aging society             B.Chinese social problem
    C.family panning policy     D.a(chǎn)ging problem in China

    What makes a house a home?
    Not size, of course. I’ve been in some of the grandest houses in America and it’s readily apparent no one lives there. Earlier this year in a mud hut in Ethiopia, where we sat on chairs next to the hostess’s bed—a home that had more warmth than any house I’ve been in since.
    Now John Edwards is exploring what makes a house a home in his just-released book-- The Blueprints of Our Lives. There Edwards writes, “ This is a book about homes, the values they rest on, the dreams they are filled with, and the people they have shaped. The houses and circumstances (環(huán)境) are different, but much of what you find inside will be familiar.”
    Whether you’re sitting in an airport right now, waiting to fly to your childhood home for Thanksgiving, or in your own home waiting for the relatives to arrive, you know what he’s talking about.
    We’ve lived in our townhouse for 21 years--the loose windows that make noise in the wind, the fireplace so shallow it holds only one log, the kitchen window that offers a view of the world passing by. It is where friends sit on the kitchen counter drinking wine while dinner is being fixed. I lived there for only 18, but it will always be my true home. Even the lamp in the west living room window, which I could see far down the road when driving home late at night, still shines.
    While all this talk about childhood memories can be warm and comforting, home is whom you’re with, not where you are. As Edwards writes, “ Home is family. Home is safety. Home is faith.”
    69. What would be the best title for the text?
    A. Home means everything            B. What’s inside makes us feel at home
    C. Home: The Blueprints of Our Lives   D. The importance of Houses
    70.   The purpose of the second paragraph is to _________.
    A.    mean the author likes living in grandest houses 
    B.   prove the author got along with the hostess
    C.   mean the feeling of a home isn’t related to the size
    D.   show the author’s different feelings about houses
    71. We know that The Blueprints of Our Lives ________
    A.   is the description of Edwards’s houses
    B.   is mainly about houses
    C.    helps us to understand the concept of home
    D.    is written by the author of the text
    72. According to the text, which of the following can make a house a home?
    A. The atmosphere you feel                B. The color of the walls
    C. The number of family members           D. The position of the home

    The secret of happiness is to spend around £2.50 every day on somebody else.
    To give a couple of pounds each day rather than to spend it on treats and fashion for yourself is the key to happiness, according to a new study.
    Dr Elizabeth Dunn and her colleagues who did a national survey of 630 people in the United States found that people report greater happiness if they spend money more socially. That means spending on gifts for others or on charitable(慈善的) donations rather than spending on themselves.
    "We wanted to test our theory that how people spend their money is at least as important as how much money they earn," says Dunn, who reports the work in Science.
    The results from all three lines of research are quite the same.
    "Regardless of how much income each person made," says Dunn, "those who spent money on others reported greater happiness, while those who spent more on themselves did not."
    "Making a modest donation is enough to increase people's happiness" the researchers conclude.
    "These findings suggest that a very small change in spending, as little as £2.50, may be enough to produce real gains in happiness on a given day," says Dr Dunn.
    The researchers call on governments to encourage people to spend more on others to help translate increased national wealth into increased national happiness.
    Surveys have also shown that happiness levels have remained almost flat within developed countries even as incomes have increased in recent decades.
    65.According to the survey, what kind of people have greater happiness?
    A.People who can make enough money.
    B.People who can buy whatever they want.
    C.People who spend money on treats and fashion for themselves.
    D.People who spend a modest amount of money every day on others.
    66.The underlined word "flat" probably means______.
    A.smooth       B.dull     C.same    D.interesting
    67.Which of the following statements is true?
    A.Researchers pay no attention to spending on others.
    B.The government did much in helping others.
    C."Science" in Paragraph 4 is probably a magazine.
    D.The survey is very successful.
    68.The purpose of the writer is to tell us______.
    A.the secret of happiness.      B.money spent on friends.
    C.link between money and happiness.   D.difference between national wealth and happiness.

     Three armed robbers stole two Pablo Picasso prints from an art museum in downtown Sao Paulo on Thursday, which was the city's second high-profile art theft in less than a year. The bandits also took two oil paintings by well-known Brazilian artists Emiliano Di Cavalcanti and Lasar Segall, said Carla Regina, a spokeswoman for the Pinacoteca do Estado museum.
    The Picasso prints stolen were "The Painter and the Model" from 1963 and "Minotaur, Drinker and Women" from 1933, according to a statement from the Sao Paulo Secretary of State for Culture, which oversees the museum. The prints and paintings have a combined value of $612,000, the statement and a museum official said.
    About noon, three armed men paid the $2.45 entrance fee and immediately went to the second-floor gallery where the works were being exhibited, bypassing more valuable pieces, authorities said. "This indicates to us that they probably received an order" to take those specific works, Youssef Abou Chain, head of Sao Paulo's organized crime unit, told reporters at a news conference. The assailants overpowered three unarmed museum guards and grabbed the works, officials said. The robbery took about 10 minutes and the museum was nearly empty at the time. The assailants took the pieces — frames and all — out of the museum in two bags. The institution has no metal detectors.
    In December, Picasso's "Portrait of Suzanne Bloch" and "O Lavrador de Cafe" by Candido Portinari, an influential Brazilian artist, were stolen from the Sao Paulo Museum of Art by three men who used a crowbar(鐵撬棍)and car jack to force open one of the museum's steel doors. The framed paintings were found Jan. 8, covered in plastic and leaning against a wall in a house on the outskirts of Sao Paulo, South America's largest city. One of the suspects in that robbery — a former TV chef — turned himself over to police in January, who already had two suspects in custody(監(jiān)禁).
    56. What did the armed men steal on Thursday?
    A. Two prints by Pablo Picasso
    B. Two oil painting by Brazilian artists
    C. Two prints by Pablo Picasso and two oil paintings by two Brazilian artists.  
    D. Two prints by two Brazilian artists and two oil paintings by Picasso Pablo.  
    57. Why didn't the thieves take other more valuable works?  
    A. Because they didn't know that the other pieces were worth more.  
    B. Probably because they had received an order for the prints that they took.  
    C. Because they didn't have enough time.
    D. Because they were in such a hurry that they couldn’t get them all.  
    58. How many people were in the museum during the robbery?  
    A. A lot. The museum was crowded.  
    B. Not too many. It was almost empty.  
    C. There were a lot of people outside the museum.  
    D. Only three of them.  
    59. According to the passage, which of the followings is TRUE?
    A. In December, "Portrait of Suzanne Bloch" and "O Lavrador de Cafe" painted by Candido Portinari were stolen.  
    B. There are steel doors and no detectors in Sao Paulo Museum of Art.  
    C. Three robbers defeated three armed museum guards and took away the works on Thursday.
    D. Three suspects in the first high-profile art theft in less than a year were arrested.
