As we discussed our 50 , I happened to read the words： “If you have made mistakes ... there is always another chance for you ... you may have a 51 start any moment you choose, for this thing we call ‘Failure’is not falling down, but 52 down.”
The words reinforced (增強) my determination and Byron’s 53 that we could succeed. We did fall down, but we were 54 hot to stay down! So, we stepped back and refocused.

A
The lights dimmed，the musical hall grew quiet and out walked the conductor (指揮)shiny, white and 4 feet, 3 inches tall.
ASIMO, a robot designed by Honda Motor Co., met its
latest challenge Tuesday evening: Conducting the Detroit Symphony(底特律交響樂團) ,in a performance of “The Impossible Dream” from “Man of
“Hello，Everyone ,” ASIMO said to the audience in a childlike voice, then waved to the orchestra. As it conducted, it perfectly mimicked (模仿) the actions of a conductor, nodding its head at various sections and gesturing (做手勢) with one or both hands. ASIMO took a final bow to excited shouts from the audience. Later, cellist Yo-Yo Ma joined ASIMO onstage to receive an award for his efforts in music education .
Honda spokeswoman Alicia Jones says it is the first time ASIMO has conducted an orchestra , and it may be the first time any robot has conducted a live performance. But ASIMO has its limits .ASIMO’s engineers programmed the robot to mimic Charles Burke, the Detroit Symphony’s education director, as he conducted the piece in front of a pianist about six months ago. But it can’t respond to the musicians.
“It’s not a communicative device. It simply is programmed to do a set of gestures,”said Leonard Slatkin ,the orchestra's musical director.“If the orchestra decides to go faster, there’s nothing the robot can do about it. Hopefully, I keep that under control.”
But several musicians also said ASIMO was more realistic than they expected. “The movements are still a little stiff ( 僵硬的), but very humanlike, much better than I thought，”Hutchinson said.
61.What’s the audience’s response to ASIMO ’s performance?
A. Disappointed. B. Moved. C. Excited. D. Astonished.
62. Whose conducting was A.SIMO made to copy?
A. Yo-Yo Ma’s. B. Charles Burke’s.
C. Leonard Slatkin’s. D. Alicia Jones' s.
63. We can learn from the passage that ASIMO _______.
A. was designed and trained by Yo-Yo Ma
B. can communicate with the audience freely
C. only performs according to the designed programs
D. can change its conducting style freely
64. What would he the best title for this passage?
A. Detroit Symphony gives a good performance
B. Honda robot conducts Detroit Symphony
C. “The Impossible Dream” from
D. Cooperation between Honda and
B
Do you find your fingers put into your mouth when you’ re nervous, anxious (焦慮的) or, just bored? Nail biting is more than a bad habit. Doctors say it is one of the most common symptoms (癥狀) of anxiety, especially for teenagers or younger children, and can lead to serious infection (感染).
According to Van Abbe, a former health expert from Dutch, there are 600 million nail biters or more in the world. He has opened a business and is devoted to a cure. “In four weeks, nail biting can be over -- and over forever,”he says.
Studies show around 45% of adolescents (青少年) bite their nails. That drops to about 20% as young adults learn to deal with their anxiety.
In public, nail biters typically keep their hands out of sight as much as they can, buried in their pockets or behind their backs. They often feel depressed and ashamed, and don't like social contacts. Van Abbe says his clients(顧客) suffer so much from it that none would volunteer to be interviewed or photographed.
His treatment relies on a tooth guard made to fit either the upper or lower teeth. The “preventer”, which can’t be seen, makes it impossible to bite, but can be removed for eating.
Nail biting is one of a type of compulsive (強迫的) disorders known as Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors that is gaining more scientific attention. Others include hair pulling, skin picking or biting the inside of the cheek.
But there is also a chicken-and-egg situation because .the bad result increases one’s anxiety. “If you cure the symptom, you reduce the stress, and the person is a happier person,” he said in a telephone interview.
65. According to Van Abbe , ________.
A. hair pulling can also be cured in his clinic
B. half of adolescents suffer from nail biting
C. he can cure nail biters in a short time
D. he doesn't want the media to interview his clients
66. Less young adults suffer from nail biting because _______.
A. some doctors offer the free cure to them
B. they care more about their own health
C. more social activities attract their attention
D. they get to know how to control their emotions
67. We can infer from the passage that ________.
A. nail biting will make the biters more anxious
B. nail biting will result in hair pulling or skin picking
C. Van Abbe uses persuasion as the main cure
D. Van Abbe offers more social contacts to his clients
68. The underlined part in the last paragraph probably refers to the situation in which it is difficult to tell ___________.
A. how chickens produce eggs B. why chickens produce eggs
C. which one of two things is the cause of the other
D. which one of two things is more important than the other
C
Children are getting so fat that they may be the first generation to die before their parents, an expert says.
Today’s young people will be affected by potential (潛在的) killers such as heart disease because of their weight. Fatty fast-food diets combined with the lifestyles with televisions and computers could mean kids will die young, says Professor Andrew Prentice, from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. At the same time, the shape of the human body is going through a great change because adults are getting so fat.
Here in Britain, the latest research shows that the average (一般的) waist (腰) size for a man is 36-38 inches and may be 42--44 inches by 2032. This compares with only 32.6 inches in 1972. Women's waists have grown from an average of 22 inches in the 1920s to 24 inches in the 1950s and 30 inches now. One of the major reasons why children now are at greater risk is that we are getting fatter younger. In the UK alone, more than one million under 16 years old are thought to be overweight or obese (肥胖的)― double the number in the 1980s. One in ten of four-year-olds are also medically said to be obese.
The obesity which started in the US, has now spread to Europe, Australia, Central America and the Middle East .Many nations now record more than 20 percent of their population as obese and well over half the population as overweight.
Professor Prentice says the change in our shape has been caused by high-energy foods combined with a dramatic (急劇地) drop in the energy we use as a result of technology developments.
He is not alone in his concern .Only last week one medical magazine revealed how obesity was fuelling a rise in cancer cases. Obesity also increases the risk factor for heart disease and so on. An averagely obese person's lifespan (壽命) is shortened by around nine years while a seriously obese person by many more.
Professor Prentice says, “So will_parents live longer than their children， as an American obesity expert said recently?”
“The answer is
yes――and no.” Yes, when most children become
obese. No, because this is now becoming an alarmingly serious problem in the
So say “No” to sandwiches and hamburgers.
69. From the second paragraph，we know that ____________.
A. heart disease is caused by people's weight
B. bad living habits make children die young
C. increasing weight could kill young people
D. adults know how to change their shape of body
70. According to Professor Prentice, people become fatter because _________.
A. the energy people take in is more than they need
B. high technology makes people use less energy
C. food contains too much energy
D. people like to eat fast food
71. For the underlined question, the answer “no” suggests __________.
A. children should refuse fast-food diets
B. children’s obesity is becoming more and more serious
C. Americans have realized the bad consequence of the obesity
D. the government should call on fat people to lose weight as soon as possible
72. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. Obesity problem B. Spotlight on kids’ obesity
C. To get away from obesity D. Will children die before their parents?
D
Steve and Yaser first met in their chemistry class at
an American university. Yaser was an international student from
At first, Steve seemed very friendly. He always greeted Yaser warmly before class. Sometimes he offered to study with Yaser. He even invited Yaser to eat lunch with him. But after the term was over, Steve seemed more distant (遙遠的). The two former classmates didn’t see each other very much at school. One day Yaser decided to call Steve. Steve didn’t seem very interested in talking to him. Yaser was hurt by Steve’s change of attitude. “Steve said we were friends,”Yaser complained. “And I thought friends were friends forever.”
Yaser is a little confused. He is an outsider to American culture. He doesn't understand the way Americans view friendship. Americans use the word friend in a very general way. They may call both casual acquaintances(認識的人) and close companions “friends.”Americans have school friends, work friends, sports friends and neighborhood friends. These friendships are based on common interests. When the shared activity ends, the friendship may fade (消失). Now Steve and Yaser are no longer classmates. Their friendship has changed.
In some cultures friendship means ’a strong life-long bond (紐帶) between two people. In these cultures friendships develop slowly, since they are built to last. American society is one of rapid change. Studies show that one out of five American families moves every year. American friendships develop quickly, and they may change just as quickly.
People from the
After an experience like Yaser’s, outsiders may consider Americans to be fickle. Learning how Americans view friendship can help non-Americans avoid misunderstandings. It can also help them make friends the American way.
73. Finally, Steve didn’t seem very interested in talking toYaser because _______.
A. Yaser had done something wrong
B. Yaser came from another country
C. he never treated Yaser as his friend
D. he made friends in the American way
74. The example of Steve and Yaser shows us that ________.
A. Americans are proud of their great nation
B. the American way to make friends won't be accepted
C. foreign
people are not suitable for the life in
D. different cultures have different opinions on friendship
75.The underlined word in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to “________”.
A. changeable B. unusual C. independent D. confident
76.In the author’s opinion , foreign people in
A. give up making friends with American people
B. help Americans change their views on friendship
C. learn to make as many American friends as possible
D. try to adapt to the American way of making friends

Would you like to be a king or queen? To have people waiting on you hand and foot? Many Americans experience this royal (王室的) treatment every day. How? By being customers (顧客). The American idea of customer service is to make each customer the center of attention. Need proof ? Just listen to the advertisements: Most of them sound like the McDonald’s said: “We do it all for you.”Actually, not all stores in America roll out the red carpet (地毯) for their customers. But wherever you go, good customer service means making customers feel special.
People going shopping in
When customers get to the store, they are treated as honored guests. Customers don't usually find store clerks sitting around watching TV or playing cards. Instead, the clerks greet them warmly and offer to help them find what they want. In most stores, the signs that label each department make shopping very easy. Customers usually don’t have to ask how much items cost, since prices are clearly marked. And unless they’re at a flea market (跳蚤市場) or a yard sale, they don’t bother trying to bargain (討價還價).
When customers are ready to check out, they find the nearest and shortest checkout way. Good stores open new checkout ways when the ways get too long. Some even offer express ways for customers with 10 items or less. After they pay for their purchases, customers receive a smile and a warm “thank you” from the clerk. Many stores even allow customers to take their shopping bags out to the parking place. That way, they don’t have to carry heavy bags out to the car.
77. We can learn from the first paragraph that customers in
A. are kings or queens from different countries
B. are the God in the customer service
C. are served with red carpet everywhere
D. are treated in different ways
78. The underlined word in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. various B. loyal C. special D. polite
79.The last paragraph mainly tells us _________.
A. customers can receive more service in stores
B. customers enjoy great convenience in checkout
C. stores offer many more checkout ways to customers
D. stores try to give much respect to their customers
80. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. Wonderful customer service
B. Customer service in
C. An experience of royal service
D. Customers -- the centre of service

(Text 10)
On June 12th，2008, Peter was surprised when he woke up in the morning. He found that the floor of his room was flooded. When he looked out of the window, he saw many cars upside down in the street.
It was a sad day in Peter's hometown, which is a mountain city. In twenty-four hours up to noon, nearly 17 inches fell. Usually there was about 16 inches of rainfall in the whole month of June.
Roads were washed away in the peak areas. Tons of mud and rocks crashed down on the houses below. Sixty four people died in the flood and more than 2,500 lost their homes. For some time after the flood, helicopters flew to help the people there. Tractors and trucks worked hard to clear away the big rocks and earth. Many people sent money and necessities of life to the people attacked by the flood and helped them rebuild their hometown.
