I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.I no longer consider myself as the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows（誓约）mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they come. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.So here’s what I want to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion（提升），the bigger paycheck, the larger house.Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure（休闲）, it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, and our minutes. It is so easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned.By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion（激情）as it ought to be lived.56．The best title of this passage probably is .A．Love your friends B．Live a real life C．Don’t waste time D．Be a good mother and wife 57．How did the author form her view of life?第2页共10页A．Through social experience.

Family members say Antonio Todde died in his sleep early this month. Mr. Todde was 112 years old. It was less than three weeks away from his 113th birthday. Record-keeping experts say he was the world’s oldest man.His long life and that of other very old Sardinians are the subjects of a scientific project called Akea. Luca Deiana of Sassari University is directing the study. He says the name Akea comes from a traditional greeting on Sardinia. It means“health and life for 100 years”. Professor Deiana and his team started to collect information for the study in 1997. They identified（确定）more than 220 Sardinians who were centenarians—100years old or older. His team required three documents to confirm a person’s age. They were a government birth record, a church record and a statement by a close family member.The Akea study has produced two major findings. The first is Sardinia’s extremely high number of centenarians. The island had about 135 centenarians for every one million people. In other Western countries, the average is about seventy five centenarians for every one million people. The second major finding is an unusual rate of female to male centenarians. Sardinia has two women centenarians for every male centenarian. In central Sardinia there are equal numbers of female and male centenarians.Studies in other parts of the world have shown a much higher percentage of female centenarians. The Akea study collected information about the health and diet of about 140 of the centenarians. About ninety percent of those in the study agreed to provide blood for scientific testing. The study team hope to identify genetic material in the blood that can be linked to successful aging. Study leaders say there is no single reason why people on Sardinia live so long. They believe the answer is a combination of genetic and environmental conditions. 61．Centenarians refer to people who are years old.A．100 B．200 C．300 D．40062．The general idea of the third paragraph is .A．Sardinia has a large number of centenarians B．an unusual rate of female to male centenarians C．two major findings of the Akea study D．Sardinia has equal numbers of female and male centenarians63．Why do Sardinians live so long according to the study?A．Because the environment on Sardinia is very good B．Because they have special genetic material in their blood.C．Because they have a glass of wine every day.

Needing firewood, quickly set out with my best friend, Bruce, to look for a tree to cut down. I was glad to have Bruce along. Cutting down a tree in a snowstorm can be dangerous. So it was important to have a friend who could warn me of dangers.When I chose a big 23-meter-tall tree and prepared to cut it down, my best friend suddenly warned me,“Don’t cut down that tree! It’s too close to the power line!”I wasn’t sure about it. So I becided to disregard his warning. I wanted to finish the job quickly and go home. So I began cutting down the tree. When the tree fell, there was no longer any doubt whether my friend was right.The tree caught the power line, bringing it to the ground. I considered cutting the tree off the line. After all, electricity can’t travel through wood, so I could safely remove the tree. As I reached out my finger to touch the tree, pain ran up my arm and through my head. I had been shocked!After I returned home and told my mother what happened, she quickly called the power company. Workers from the power company soon arrived on the scene. One of them asked if I had touched the tree, and when I told him I had, his face turned pale.“You should have been killed,”he said.So why am I still alive? It was my boots that saved my life.Within two hours, the workers removed the tree. Soon the snowstorm calmed down—but not my mother.Even though she was glad I wasn’t hurt, my mother was still serious with me. After all, I shouldn’t have brushed off my friend’s warning.Through this experience, I learned it’s important to listen to people who offer a different perspective. Taking the time to listen might actually save a lot of time and trouble. It certainly would have kept me from getting the “shock of my life.”71．The underlined word“disregard”in the second paragraph means“.”A．pay no attention to B．take notice of C．consider D．follow 72．In spite of Bruce’s warning, the author still cut the tree because .A．he was sure there would be nothing to happenB．he wasn’t sure if Bruce was right and was anxious to go homeC．he didn’t hear his friend’s warning at all because of the blowing windD．he know electricity can’t travel through wood73．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A．But for his boots, the writer would have died.
