There's nothing sadder than reading about a lost child in the newspaper or seeing the story of a child gone missing on the news.Fortunately for us as parents there is a way to avoid this type of tragedy through GPS tracking for children.Global positioning system technology can make it so that we need not worry about our children being lost as much as we used to in the past.

GPS systems for kids are small devices that can be worn like a pager (呼机), implanted in a watch or attached to the child's clothing or backpack.It will then deliver information to you about the child's location at all times providing you with peace of mind.The GPS systems can be programmed to send information in intervals as short as 15 seconds.

You can imagine how much more relaxed you would be when you're able to log your computer at any time and know within several yards exactly where your child is.Some of the GPS kids units even have a panic button that the child can push to send an immediate alert in case of an emergency.This notification will go both to you and to the GPS tracking service so that authorities can be alerted.

For small children the GPS tracking device can be as small as a watch or pager and will run on batteries for up to 24 hours before needing to be recharged.For older children you can even place a device in their cars to monitor their driving habits and where they are driving.Personal GPS units for kids are not cheap and the smaller the device the higher the price.Can you really say that anything is too expensive when discussing the safety and well-being of your children? In addition to the cost of the device, you will also need to pay a fee to the GPS tracking service.In the world we live in sometimes it is difficult to be safe and these GPS kids systems can provide many parents with added peace of mind.

60．According to the passage, what can we learn about GPS systems for

kids?

A．They are devices which can help children recognize the direction.

B．The bigger devices of GPS units for kids cost more.

C．They are small devices through which parents can know where the child is.

D．Children can send information through GPS systems for kids only once a day.

61．The underlined word “notification” in the third paragra ph probably means “________.”

A．signal B．plan C．letter D．machine

62．According to the last paragraph, we can infer GPS systems for kids ________.

A．are very cheap for ordinary people

B．should be made smaller in size

C．need more advanced batteries

D．are good value for money

63．What is the text mainly about?

For the last couple of weeks, I had been stuck in front of my computer working on a project that was very important to me.My every waking hour was consumed by the project and although I imagined that I would feel happy after completing parts of the project, I was confused to find that instead, I was feeling rather depressed.I tried a range of methods to help cheer myself up.I had a relaxing bath, cooked a delicious meal to enjoy with my family and even

watched a light-hearted movie, but to_no_avail. It was only when I turned to meditation (沉思) for a solution that the answer came to me: turn to nature!

The very next day, I grabbed my camera and a bottle

of water and set off to spend a few hours walking in a

nature reserve, even though it was pouring with

rain.Within a couple of minutes I felt alive again.To be

honest, I felt like a young school girl again and had to stop myself from hopping along the path singing I'm singing in the rain, a song I used to sing when I was a child.I think as adults we often try too hard to control our inner children and as a result we restrain our own spirits, which only leads to depression and stress.

Interestingly, it has been shown that people who spend 40 minutes walking in a nature reserve have a drop in their blood pressure levels, but this does not happen when they spend a similar amount of time walking in a busy city centre.

If you feel a little low in spirits and know that you have spent too much time indoors, relax completely, remove your shoes and let your inner child come out and play.

64．The author felt depressed because she ________.

A．couldn't consume her waking hours

B．had not seen a film for a long time

C．had not finished her work on time

D．had worked on a hard job for too long

65．The author walked in a nature reserve in the rain in order to ________ A．take photos B．find a solution to the project

C．hop along the path D．cheer herself up

66．The underlined part “to no avail” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”．

A．unsuccessful B．unrelated C．uninteresting D．unexpected

67．In the author's opinion, ________.

A．a bath can make people relaxed

B．depression is usually caused by hard work

C．walking in a busy city centre harms people's health

D．it's good for adults to wake up their inner children when they are

in low spirits

D

The world is filled with smart, talented, educated and gifted people. We meet them every day. A few days ago, my car was not running well. I pulled

it into a garage, and the young mechanic had it fixed in just a few minutes. He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine. I was amazed. The sad truth is that great talent is not enough.

I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn. I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of Americans earn more than $ 100,000 a year. A business consultant who specializes in the medical trade told me how many doctors and dentists struggled financially. It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase，“They are one skill away from great wealth.”

There is an old saying that goes, “Job means ‘just over broke (破产)’．” And unf ortunately, I would say that the saying applies to millions of people. Because school does not think financial intelligence is intelligence, and most workers live_within_their_means. They work and they pay the bills. Instead I recommend young people to seek work for what they will learn, more than what they will earn.

When I ask the class I teach, “How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald's？” almost all the students raise their hands. I then ask，

“So if most of you can cook a better hamburge r, how come McDonald's makes more money than you？” The answer is obvious: McDonald's is excellent at business systems. The reason why so many talented people are poor is that they focus on making a better hamburger but know little or nothing about business systems. The world is filled with talented poor people. They focus on perfecting their skills at making a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger.

68．The author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph to show that ________.

A．he is just one of the talented people

B．he is ready to help others

C．he has a sharp sense of hearing

D．he knows little about car repairing

69．The underlined part in the third paragraph can be best replaced by “________”．

A．spend more than they can afford

B．do in their own way

C．live in their own circle

D．live within what they earn

70．The main purpose of the author is to tell us________.

A．how young people can find a satisfactory job

B．what schools should teach students

C．why so many talented people are poor

D．how McDonald's makes much money

第二节：任务型阅读（共10题；每小题1分，满分10分）

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。

Ambition(抱负) is a necessary quality in life. It is the force which drives us on to use whatever talent we have got. If we haven't got some degree of ambition, these talents will not be used for our own and others' benefit. We must continually want to be better than we are. Without ambition we are just jellyfish that flop through life. We only react to events; we don't try to control them.

Ambition, however, can have several defects.（缺点）

First of all it can be unrealistic. We may not be able to see the limits of our own abilities, so we do ambitious things that are completely beyond

us. Our career masters can see our good qualities and our limitations objectively. They may tell us that we haven't the ability to deal with people and would make good businessmen. We refuse to take their evaluation. We keep on trying. Many years and many disappointments later we are forced to accept their judgment. But what a waste of time our ill-founded ambition has caused us!

Secondly, our ambition can be too concentrated. We devote our attention to one narrow aim, such as getting distinctions in our science subjects. Everything that may draw us away from this aim is cut out of our lives. In the end we get our distinctions. But what damage we have caused ourselves in the process! We are isolated beings who only care about a particular examination. And we probably won't make good scientists. We lack the breadth of view necessary for success in higher studies.

Thirdly, our ambition may be self-centered. Instead of directing some of our ambition towards community improvement we may exploit members of the community in the interests of self-advancements. In later life we may be ambitious for the success of our children but we regard this success as only a further mark of our own success.

Fourthly, our ambition can be limited to lifeless objectives. We want to gain money, or power, or membership of some circles. Persons who feel inferior try to make up by seeking the respect of others through possessions of these artificial signs of worth.

Ambition is necessary in the lives of individuals —necessary for their own improvement and for the improvement of the community in which they live. But, like all blind forces, it must be directed if it is not to cause disaster. It must be tightly controlled by the head and the heart. Otherwise ambition may demand too high a price in terms of human qualities.
