About whether to live in the city or the countryside my friends have different opinions. To avoid the noise, smog, traffic, and crime in the city, most of them are moving outside the city. One friend says, “The air is heavily polluted in the city, so I prefer to live outside, where the air is clean.” Another friend is unpleasant with the traffic, “Downtown is crowded with cars! You can’t find a parking place, and the traffic jams are terrible.” Everyone is worried about crime, “The city is full of criminals. ---it’s too dangerous.” For them, the rural life is a cure for all problems, green grass, flowers, swimming pools, barbecues, and so on. Yet after they have lived there for a year or so, they realize that rural life is not so pleasant as they were expecting. Why? Their gardens! They soon learn that the main part of rural life is yard work. After they work all weekend in their gardens, they’re too tired to swim in their pools or cook some meat on their barbecues. And they can’t live in the countryside without a car. Most of them moved to the countryside to avoid traffic, but now they’re blocked on a busy freeway two hours every day to drive to work downtown. My opinions about urban life are different---I love to live downtown! Why? First, in the city, I can enjoy nature. I can walk through the park, smell the flowers, sit on the grass and visit the animals in the zoo. Yet I don’t have to do yard work or feed the animals. Also, I can get everywhere by bus; if there is a traffic jam, I can walk home. I think the criminal life will reflect changes in society too; if people are buying homes outside the city, the criminals will soon follow. Criminals want to avoid noise, smog, and pollution, too. Then, overcrowding and crime will be problems of the suburbs instead of the city! 24. The first paragraph is used to ______ . A. list some figures B. make comparisons C. lead to the topic D. give suggestions 25. What did those moving outside think of their life in the city? A. Cosy B. Convenient C. Colorful D. Crowded 26. What is the major problem for those who live in the countryside? A. Being far from downtown. B. Having gardens to take care of. C. Failing to find parking lots. D. Suffering heavy traffic on the road. 27. What’s the author’s attitude to his city life? A. Approving. B. Ambiguous. C. Grateful. D. Doubtful.

Children are losing the ability to play properly because they are being given too many toys and games, according to a new research. The studies show that children, especially those under five, are often overwhelmed (不知所措) and actually play less than those with fewer toys. It may even harm their development. The studies show that giving children too many toys or toys of the wrong type can actually be doing them harm. They get overwhelmed and cannot concentrate on anything long enough to learn from it. The conclusions have been backed up by British research looking at children with relatively fewer toys, whose parents spend more time reading, singing or playing with them. It showed such children surpass (胜过) youngsters from richer backgrounds, even those who could use computers. Some parents notice the ill effect early. Orhan Ismail, a researcher saw a change for the worse in Cameron, his 10-month-old son, after he was given a lot of toys last Christmas. Ismail said, “If there are too many toys in front of him, he will just keep flitting（掠过） around them and then end up going off and finding something like a slipper to play with. Now we just get out one or two toys and hide the rest in a box.” Alexander and her husband also decided to limit the toys their 6 daughters play with. She believed many toys limit children’s imaginations. She said, “A Barbie can only work as a Barbie. But a cardboard box can become anything. The only limitations are in the child’s mind.” Experts hesitate to put a figure on the number of toys children should have, but many believe two dozen is enough for children of preschool age. 28.From which paragraph can we learn that “British research group has been in favour of the conclusion”? A. Paragraph 3. B. Paragraph 4. C. Paragraph 5. D. Paragraph 6. 29. In the writer’s opinion, a Barbie _____. A. can attract more attention from children than a cardboard box B. can work more than a Barbie C. may become anything else such as a cardboard D. may keep children from further imaginations 30. Which of the following is TRUE about toys given to children? A. too many toys will help children develop wide interests. B. One or two toys at a time will help children concentrate. C. Only wrong types of toys do harm to children. D. The proper number of toys given to the children depends on their ages. 31. It may NOT be a good idea to _____. A. spend more time reading or playing with children B. choose right types of toys for children C. ask experts for the exact number of necessary toys D. put out one or two toys and hide the rest

A tender woman, or an independent one, which one would you prefer? A recent research shows that most people would choose the latter. This type of woman is called a nühanzi (“tough woman”). Experts believe these characteristics have social and psychological roots among young females in China. Su Hao’s friends all call her a tough woman, because she can finish tough tasks usually carried out by men. For example, she carries 10-litre water to her dormitory on the 5th floor. “I depend on no one but myself,” she says. According to a recent survey by China Youth Daily, tough women have become rather common in society. Of the 21,265 respondents, 78.5 percent said they are familiar with a tough woman. About 50 percent said they like women with tough characteristics, while less than 29 percent expressed the opposite view. Why are tough women gaining popularity? Shen Meng, a psychological consultant, believes the fierce competition in society is contributing to this trend. “Women are often in a disadvantaged position compared to men,” Shen says. “In order to survive, they have to be independent, strong and tough.” Liu Xiaolin, professor of psychology at Wuhan Mental Health Center, believes tough women are brought up this way. They are often on close relationship with their fathers, who teach their daughters to be brave and decisive,” he says. As a result, these women are more likely to be psychologically healthy and more tolerant to stress, according to Liu. Though Liu believes that this is a good trend, Hu Shenzhi, a psychologist at the Guangdong Sunflower Counseling Center, says the popularity of tough woman indicates an unclear line between gender identities, which can lead to relationship problems. “Some women with characteristics that differ from the traditional female image may have a difficult time finding Mr Right,” he says. “Even if they get married, their manly characteristics might cause family conflicts. 32. Which of the followings doesn’t belong to the characteristics of a tough woman? A. She is independent of others in daily life. B. She is soft and tender to others. C. She is more tolerant to stress. D. She can solve problems usually for men. 33. How many respondents like tough women? A. about 10,600. B. about 16,700. C. 21,265. D. about 6,200. 34. Why are there more tough women nowadays? A. Because tough women are more lovely. B. Because more women want to be independent. C. Because girls often love fathers more. D. Because of the fierce competition in society. 35. What problems may tough women have in their life? A. It’s difficult for them to be friends. B. They often suffer gender confusion. C. They may have difficulty with marriage. D. They have different characteristics form traditional female images.

How to Restore（恢复）Balance in Life Many of us give our time and energy generously to our family members, friends, and co-workers, but often ignore our own needs. 36 Here some people share the experiences that made them realize they had to start taking care of themselves — and what they’re doing about it. Lighten Your Load Before you can take care of anyone else, you need to be able to care for yourself. My own personal truth is that I am a part of God, and he does not want me to feel burdened. 37 Learn To Accept Forgiveness I accepted forgiveness, and since then have forgiven myself, as well as all the people I considered to have caused me pain in one way or another. 38 Be Grateful I do my own kind of gratitude meditation (沉思) every night. 39 Together, avoiding the negative energy of feeling like a victim and producing the positive force of gratitude provide me with the strength to take care of both myself and others. Take a Walk 40 I do it slowly, and I pray. I notice that when I walk I feel better mentally and physically. I admire trees, the flowers and the sky. I realize I need to lose weight, but I don’t want to fill my head with negative self-talk. I want to have an “I can do this” mentality (思想). A. I was used to slowing down and being gentle with myself. B. I sit quietly, and feel grateful for the blessings I’ve received. C. I realized that forgiving means healing. D. I find it’s easy to forgive myself and others. E. It may not be until we become exhausted that we start paying attention to our own needs. F. He also wants my load to be light enough that I can take on burdens if I have to. G. I try to walk 3-4 times a week for 45 minutes.
