My l4-year-old son, John, and I spotted the coat which was hanging at a secondhand clothing store in Northampton Mass. While the other coats drooped (低垂), this one looked as if it were 36 . The coat had beautiful tailoring, a Fifth Avenue label and a(an) 37 price of $28, which was popular just then with 38 , but could cost several hundred dollars new. This coat was even better, bearing (具有) that 39 of classic elegance. John tried it on and the fit was perfect. John 40 the coat to school the next day and came home wearing a big smile “Did the kids like your coat?” I asked. “They loved it,” he said, 41 folding it over the back of a chair and smoothing it flat. Over the next few weeks, a 42 came over John. Agreement replaced contrariness (作对) and reasoned discussion replaced fierce 43 . He became more mannerly and 44 , eager to please. He would generously lend his younger brother his tapes and lecture him 45 his behavior. When I mentioned this incident to his teacher and 46 what caused the changes, she said laughing. “It 47 be his coat!” Another teacher told him she was giving him a good 48 not only because he had earned 49 but because she liked his coat. At the library, we ran into a friend. “Could this be John?” he asked surprisingly, 50 John’s new height, assessing the cut of his coat and extending his hand, one gentleman to another. John and I both know we should never 51 a person’s clothes for the real person within them. 52 there is something to be said for wearing a standard of excellence for the world to see and for 53 what is on the inside to what is on the outside. For John it is a time when it is as easy to try on different approaches to 54 as it is to try on a coat. The whole world, the whole future is stretched out ahead, a vast landscape 55 all the doors are open. And he could picture himself walking through those doors wearing his wonderful, magical coat. 36.

Becoming a teacher is one of the best ways to make a difference in the life of a child and even older students. Here are some great scholarships and grant (奖学金, 助学金) opportunities to get the ball rolling on your dreams of becoming a teacher. Straightforward Teacher Program This is one of the most popular and unique scholarships available for students working towards becoming teachers. The foundation offers their scholarships every three months as opposed to each year. During each payment, four students receive a $500 scholarship. Prezell Robinson Scholarship Program While this scholarship is available only to students in the state of North Carolina, it is so incredibly helpful that many students choose to study in the state for the only purpose of receiving it. It is offered to college students who come from low-income high schools or families that are interested in pursuing a long term career in education at any level. New York State Scholarship Program Officials in the state of New York founded this program to award students who want to give back to their community through their ability to teach. The catch for this scholarship is that the students must be pursuing a teaching career in mathematics or science at the secondary level. Also, because the program was designed to improve the education system in New York, the candidates must sign a service contract agreeing to work full time within the state for at least five years after graduation. Coca-Cola Scholarships You may have many opportunities for grants and scholarships through The Coca Cola Foundation. There is the Coca Cola Teaching Foundation that will provide free money for students pursuing an education in the teaching field. This is the most obvious for teachers, but do not be afraid to check out their other offers. Funds For Teachers Not all scholarships or grants are for students entering or already in college. The Funds for Teachers scholarships are for graduates who are already working in the field, but want to improve their possibilities, skills and education in an effort to increase their ability to teach the students that cross their path more effectively. Teachers in PreK through 12th grade are applicable (适用的) no matter where they teach or what subject they specialize in. 56. How many students get their scholarships each year according to the Straightforward Teacher Program ? A. Four B. Sixteen C. Eight D. Six 57. The reason why many students choose to study in the state of North Carolina is that _____. A. They can pursue a long term career in education B. There are some good universities in North Carolina C.

We all, at one time or another, have pretended to be a rock star, singing and dancing along to our favorite song. Most of us have done this in the privacy of our own room when we were kids and as adults, in the privacy of our homes. Me? I love to do that when I drive! I turn on the radio, find a song that I can sing along too and pretty soon my arms are in the air and I am moving along to the rhythm. Most of the time, I do this on my way to work. Yes, that is true. I will be in my nice work clothes, jamming while driving or stopping at a traffic light. I get weird looks from some people and others laugh. Personally, I love to get lost in the rhythm of a song which leads me to share with you the importance of being silly! The definition for the word silly, according to the dictionary is: stupid, foolish and nonsensical. I know many people do not want to look foolish. So they walk around all serious, which in all honesty, is foolish! No one is perfect, I repeat: no one is perfect. I don’t care how educated, how thin, how beautiful, how simple, how frugal (节俭的), how rich, and so on… No one is perfect! So why pretend to be something you are not? Life is so short… You never know when this beautiful journey will be over, so why waste a single second on being so full of rigidity (呆板)? Here is a quote by Souza, that I think says it all and is a great recipe for life: “Dance as though no one is watching you Love as though you have never been hurt before Sing as though no one can hear you Live as though heaven is on earth” When we were kids, we had no idea of what limitations were and we had no care in the world so we could do things without worrying about how we appeared to others. However, as we grew up, we lost that childlike innocence. So don’t lose the child that still lives within you. The next time you feel down, go turn on your favorite song, and sing and dance along like there is no tomorrow. Or watch something that makes you laugh. Laughter is the best medicine to whatever ails (使…痛苦) you and nothing is better than laughing so hard that your tummy (肚子) hurts. Trust me, you will feel a whole lot better, and who doesn’t want to feel good? 61. According to the passage, what does the writer usually do? A. He pretends to be a rock star. B. He dances in his own home. C. He sings songs while going to work. D. He gets jammed on his way to work. 62. What do other people think of the writer? A. They think that the writer is strange. B. They look down upon the writer. C. They believe that the writer is lonely. D. No one is interested in the writer. 63. What is the writer’s opinion about the people who look very serious? A. They are honest. B. They are silly. C. They are perfect. D. They are educated. 64. The writer quotes Souza to show that ________. A. life is a beautiful journey B. life is full of rigidity C. life is like a great recipe D. life is to be treasured 65. The underlined part “the child” in the last paragraph probably refers to ________. A. the writer B. any child C. the feeling of being a child D. the time of being a child

People have wondered for a long time how their personalities and behaviors are formed. It’s not easy to explain why one person is intelligent and another is not, or why one is cooperative and another is competitive. Social scientists are, of course, extremely interested in these types of question. They want to explain why we possess certain characteristics and exhibit certain behaviors. There are no clear answers yet, but two distinct schools of thought on the matter have developed. As one might expect, the two approaches are very different from each other, and there is a great deal of debate between proponents of each theory. The argument is often conveniently referred to as nature vs. nurture (教养). Those who support the “nature” side of the conflict believe that our personalities and behavior patterns are largely determined by biological and genetic factors. That our environment has little, if anything, to do with our abilities, characteristics and behavior is central to this theory. Taken to an extreme, this theory maintains that our behavior is predetermined to such a great degree that we are almost completely governed by our instincts (本能). Proponents of the “nurture” theory, or, as they are often called, behaviorists, claim that our environment is more important than our biologically based instincts in determining how we will act. Behaviorists see humans as beings whose behavior is almost completely shaped by their surroundings. Their view of the human being is quite mechanistic (机械作用的); they maintain that, like machines, humans respond to environmental stimuli (something that helps sb./sth. to develop better and more quickly) as the basis of their behavior. The social and political connections of these two theories are significant. In the United States, for example, blacks often score below whites on standardized intelligent test. This leads some “nature” proponents to conclude that blacks are genetically worse than whites. Behaviorists, in contrast, say that the differences in scores are due to the fact that blacks are often robbed of many of the educational and other environmental advantages that whites enjoy, and that, as a result, they do not develop the same responses that whites do. Neither of these theories can yet fully explain human behavior. In fact, it is quite likely that the key to our behavior lies somewhere between these two extremes. That the argument will continue for a long time is certain. 66. The author is mainly concerned about solving the problem ________. A. why our personalities and behaviors differ B. what makes different stages of intelligence C. how social scientists form different theories D. what causes the “nature / nurture” argument 67. The underlined word “proponents” can best be replaced by ________. A. approaches B. advocates C. principles D. characters 68. Which of the following statements may be supported by the “nature” school? A. We are born with certain personalities and behaviors. B. Environment has nothing to do with our personalities. C. Abilities and characteristics are showed by behaviors. D. Only extreme behaviors are determined by instincts. 69. What can we learn about the behaviorists? A. They believe human beings are mechanical. B. They compare our behaviors to the machines. C. They suggest that we react to the environment as the machines do. D. They agree that the mechanistic theory can be applied on us as well. 70. The “nature” theorists believe that the black’s low scores ________. A. are the result of the educational disadvantages B. are a display of the blacks’ poor intelligence C. have nothing to do with their true intelligence D. have nothing to do with factors but heredity (遗传)

We once had a poster competition in our fifth grade art class. “You could win prizes”, our teacher told us as she wrote the poster information on the blackboard. She passed out sheets of construction paper (绘图纸) while continuing, “The first prize is ten dollars. You just have to make sure that the words on the blackboard appear somewhere on your poster.” We studied the board critically. Some of us looked with one eye and held up certain colors against the blackboard, rocking the sheets to the right or left while we conjured up our designs. Others twisted their hair around their fingers or chewed their erasers while deep in thought. We had plans for that ten-dollar grand prize, each and every one of us. I’m going to spend mine on candies, one hopefully would announce, while another practiced looking serious, wise and rich. Everyone in the class made a poster. Some of us used parts of those fancy paper napkins, while others used nothing but colored construction paper. Some of us used big designs, and some of us preferred to gather our art tidily down in one corner of our poster and let the space draw the viewer’s attention to it. Some of us would wander past the good students’ desks and then return to our own projects with a growing sense of hopelessness. It was yet another grown-up trick of the sort they seemed especially fond of, making all of us believe we had a fair chance, and then always rewarding the same old winners. I believe I drew a sailboat，but I can’t say that with any certainty. I made it. I admired it. I determined it to be the very best of all of the posters I had seen, and then I turned it in. Minutes passed. No one came along to give me the grand prize, and then someone distracted me，and I probably never would have thought about that poster again. I was still sitting at my desk, thinking, “What poster?” When the teacher gave me an envelope with a ten-dollar bill in it and everyone in the class applauded for me. 71. What was the teacher’s requirement for the poster? A. It must appear in time. B. It must be done in class. C. It must be done on a construction sheet. D. It must include the words on the blackboard. 72. The underlined phrase “conjured up” in paragraph 3 most probably means ________. A. formed an idea for B. made an outline for C. made some space for D. chose some colors for 73. After the teacher’s words，all the students in the class ________. A. looked very serious B. thought they would be rich C. began to think about their designs D. began to play games 74. After seeing the good students’ designs, some students ________. A. loved their own designs more B. thought they had a fair chance C. put their own designs in a corner D. thought they would not win the prize 75. We can infer from the passage that the author ________. A. enjoyed grown—up tricks very much B. loved poster competitions very much C. felt surprised to win the competition D. became wise and rich after the competition

When you get in your car, you reach for it. When you’re at work, you take a break to have a moment alone with it. When you get into a lift, you play with it. Cigarette? Cup of coffee? No, it’s the third most addictive thing in modern life: the cell phone. And experts say it is becoming more difficult for many people to control their longing to hug it more tightly than most of their personal relationships. The costs are becoming more and more evident, and I don’t mean just the monthly bill. Dr. Chris Knippers, a counselor at the Betty Ford Center in Southern California, reports that the overuse of cell phones has become a social problem not much different from other harmful addictions: a barrier to one-on-one personal contact, and all escape from reality. Sounds extreme, but we’ve all witnessed the evidence: The person at a restaurant who talks on the phone through an entire meal, ignoring his kids around the table; the woman who talks on the phone in the car, ignoring her husband; the teen who texts messages all the way home from school, avoiding contact with kids all around him. Jim Williams, an industrial sociologist based in Massachusetts, notes that cell-phone addiction is part of a set of symptoms in a widening gulf of personal separation. He points to a study by Duke University researchers that found one-quarter of Americans say they have no one to discuss their most important personal business with. Despite the growing use of phones, e-mail and instant messaging, in other words, Williams says studies show that we don’t have as many friends as our parents. “Just as more information has led to less wisdom, more acquaintances via the Internet and cell phones have produced fewer friends,” he says. 76.

Every flu season it seems like we’re bombarded (炮轰, 轰击) with commercials for new and improved medicines promising to relieve terrible headaches and f___1___. But for many people around the world, the secret to avoiding a nasty or even fatal cold might lie in a better diet, not drugs. Researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the Beltsville Human Nutrition Research Center in Maryland, and the Nestle Research Center in Switzerland have found that a deficiency of the mineral selenium (硒) may c___2___ to the spread of highly virulent strains of influenza virus. The team infected two g___3____ of mice—one that had sufficient selenium in their diets and one that did not — with a type of flu that also affects h___4___. The selenium-deficient mice were more l___5___ to get sick after being infected. More worrisome (令人不安的), the flu virus grew m___6___ virulent when it re-emerged for the selenium-deficient mice. Random mutations (变异) normally alter the genes responsible f___7___ designing the proteins on the virus’s surface. But in selenium-deficient mice, “it’s the exact opposite to what we expected,” says Beck, a researcher. The rapid mutation was instead occurring in genes that code for internal proteins. Those changes, she says, might reprogram the flu strain, making it more contagious (传染性的). Beck and her team are still uncertain exactly h___8___ selenium fits into the puzzle, but scientists know the mineral is necessary for antioxidant (抗氧化剂) activity in the body. without selenium, excess (过度的) free radicals wreak havoc (发泄, 报仇) on the viral (滤过性病毒) RNA, leading to those unexpected mutations, says Beck. Common sources of selenium include breads, meats and fish, foods that Americans eat in abundance, says Orville Levander, a chemist at the Beltsville Nutrition Center. But Levander points out that some areas in China l___9___ selenium in the soil, and people who live there require selenium supplements to a___10___ health problems.
