Several years passed 24 she asked me again. Since making my

first 25 , I had often thought of the correct answer. So this time I told her, “Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our eyes.” She looked at me and told me, “You are 26 fast, but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind.”

_ 27 the years, Mother asked me a couple more 28 and always her answer was, “No, but you are getting 29 every year, my child.” Then last year, my Grandpa died. Everybody was heart broken.

With the rapid development of public transport system, big cities

like Shanghai hope to ease the tr affic jams and pollution caused by an increasing number of cars.

Statistics show that Shanghai’s subway lines will reach 350 km by

the end of this year, making the city No. 3 in the world in terms of subway length. Shanghai could be ranked No. 1 when the length is extended to 430 km next May in time for the World Expo. This means about 5.5 million people each day could use the city’s subway system, thereby reducing traffic bottle-necks and air and noise pollution in downtown Shanghai.

At present, Shanghai suffers from severe traffic jams, during not

only rush hours and weekdays but also off-peak hours and weekends.

For years, car emissions (尾气) have been blamed for contributing 60 percent of the air pollution in the city center, causing various respiratory (呼吸道) diseases.

What’s more, Shanghai has not met its target of noise reduction for five years, which has become a major source of public complaints. Starting from August 1, cars that are considered highly polluting

will be banned from entering the city centre.

Shanghai is also building 16 parking lots with 8,000 spaces near subway terminals so that people can park and ride the public system instead of driving their cars into the city center.

Much more needs to be done for truly easing the traffic jams and air and noise pollution caused by automobiles. For example, the ban on using the horn, which was made effective from June 1, 2007, has not really been carried out.

Many local people still regard owning and driving a car as a kind of demonstration(炫耀) of their wealth, without realizing the traffic

and environmental hazards it can cause. When the subway system can take people to their destinations, driving a private car in downtown Shanghai could become a moral issue.

45. The best title for the passage may be___________.

A. Efforts to Ease Crowding & Pollution

B. Results of Public Transport System

C. Possibilities to Reduce Private Cars

D. Ways to Reduce Car Emission

46. The following is true EXCEPT that Shanghai _________.

A. Shanghai is building 16 parking lots for private cars in the city center

B. could be No. 1 in terms of subway length next May

C. has problems with crowding not only in rush hours

D. has strong public complaints about noise pollution

47. Guess the correct meaning of the underlined word “hazards”.

A. sudden changes

B. violent forces

C. public dislikes

D. dangerous results

48. The writer intends to tell us________ in the last two paragraphs.

A. though many plans have been carried out, the situation is hopeless

B. difficult as the situation seems, Shanghai is sure to overcome it

C. whether the problems will be solved depends on people’s action

D. environmental problem should be regarded as a moral issue.

C

A lot of management training is given each year for Circle K corporation, a national chain of convenience stores. Among the topics we address in our course is the retention(保护力) of quality employees－a real challenge to managers when you consider the pay scale(标准) in the service industry. During these discussions, I ask the participants, “What has caused you to stay long enough to become a manager?” Some time later, a new manager took the question and slowly, with her voice almost breaking, said, “It was a $ 19 baseball glove.”

Cynthia told the group that she originally took a Circle K clerk job as an temporary position while she looked for something better. On her second or third day behind the counter, she r eceived a phone call from her nine-year-old son, Jessie. He needed a baseball glove for Little League. She explained that as a single mother, money was very tight, and her first check would have to go for paying bills. Perhaps she could buy his baseball glove with her second or third check. When Cynthia arrived for work the next morning, Patricia, the store manager, asked her to come to the small room in the back of the store that served as an office. Cynthia wondered if she had done something wrong or left some part of her job incomplete from the day before. She was worried and confused.

Patricia handed her a box. “I overheard you tal king to your son yesterday,” she said, “and I know that it is hard to explain things to kids. This is a baseball glove for Jessie because he may not understand how important he is, even though you have to pay bills before you can buy gloves. You know we ca n’t pay good people like you as much as we would like to; but we do care, and I want you to know you are important to us.”

The thoughtfulness, emphasis and love of this convenience store manager demonstrates vividly that people remember more how much an employer cares than how much the employer pays.

49. Among many of the problems in the service industry, talked about in this passage, is ______.

A. how to ensure his employees’ high pay

B. how to attract more customers

C. how to look carefully after the employees

D. how to keep the good employees from leaving

50. A new manager, Cynthia would do her job well in keeping quality employees because she ______.

A. had mastered all the courses for the manager.

B. had already formed good relationship with the employees

C. knew the way how to deal with her employees

D. had her own personal experience

51. This passage shows us that to run a business well it is necessary for managers to let their employees know ______.

A. how much they can get for their job

B. what good positions they can get later

C. they are very important to the business

D. they are nice as well as useful

52. The story told in this passage tells us the employees care about ________.

A. only how large a pay they can get

B. love from the managing people rather than only money

C. if their children could be properly taken care of

D. what position they can be offered

D

Avi Sadeh, a Psychology Professor at Tel Aviv University, said recently “In real life, the daily struggles between parents and children are around these narrow problems of an extra hour, extra TV show, and so on,” he added, “Too little sleep and more accidents”.

To investigate the effects on children of adding or reducing an hour of sleep, Sadeh changed the number of hours slept by 77 fourth and sixth graders for five days during a week when the children were healthy and there were no special social events or school activities.

Sadeh and his colleagues found an extra hour of sleep can make a big difference. The children who slept longer, although they woke up more frequently during the night, scored higher on tests, Sadeh reported in the March/April issue of journal Child Development.

“Whe n the children slept longer, their sleep quality was somewhat weak, but in spite of this their performance for study improved because the extra sleep was more significant than the reduction in sleep quality. ”Sadeh said. “Some studies suggested that lack of sleep as a child affects development into adulthood and it's more likely to develop their attention disorder when they grow older.”

“Previous research has shown children in elementary school need at least nine hours of sleep a night on a regular bas is”, said Carl Hunt, director of the National Center on Sleep Disorders Research in Bethesda, “and high-school-age children need somewhat less, adding the results of insufficient sleep could be serious.”

“A tired child is an accident waiting to happen,” Hunt

said.“And as kids get older, toys get bigger and the risks higher.”Hunt also said too little sleep could result in learning and memory problems and long-term effects on school performance.

“This is an important extension of what we already know,” Hunt said of Sadeh’s research, “adding sleep is as important as

nutrition and exercise to good health. To put it into reality, parents should make sure they know when their children actually are going to sleep and their rooms are conducive to sleeping instead of playing.”

53. What is Child Development?

A. A new story.

B. A popular book.

C. A periodical magazine.

D. A TV programme.

54. How many persons are exactly mentioned in the text?

A. One.

B. Two. C . Three. D. Four.

55. The underlined phrase "conducive to" ( in the last sentence) could be replaced by ______.

A. helping to produce

B. influenced by

C. full of

D. acceptable of
