You can't be a positive person all of the time.How do you do it?" Jerry replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, "Jerry, you have two choices today.You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.' I choose to be in a good mood.Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn from it.I choose to learn from it.Every time someone comes to me complaining.I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life.I choose the positive side of life.The bottom line It's your choice how you live life." I reflected on what Jerry said.Later.I left the restaurant industry to start my own business.We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life.Several years later.I heard that Jerry did something you are never supposed to do in a restaurant business he left the back door open one morning and was held up at gun point by three armed robbers.While trying to open the safe, he forgot thepassword, nervous.The robbers panicked and shot him.Luckily, Jerry was found relatively quickly and rushed to the local hospital.After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care.Jerry was released from the hospital with fragments(碎片)of the bullets still in his body.I saw Jerry about six months after the accident.When I asked him how he was.he replied."The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door," Jerry replied."Then, as I lay on the floor.I remembered that I had two choices I could choose to live.or I could choose to die.I chose to live." " Weren ' t you scared? Did you lose consciousness?" I asked.Jerry continued, "The doctors and nurses were great.They kept telling me I was going to be fine.But when they wheeled me into the emergency room and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared.I knew I needed to take action.""What did you do?" I asked."Well, there was a big.strong nurse shouting questions at me." said Jerry."She asked if I was allergic (过敏的)to anything."Yes.' I replied.The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply.I took a deep breath and yelled, "Bullets!' Over their laughter, I told them."I am choosing to live.Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.'"Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude.I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully.56.The author left Jerry's restaurant because he_____.A.wanted to start business on his ownB.was afraid of another robbery laterC.was not equal to the job any longerD.didn't get along well with others57.Why was Jerry shot?A.Because he left the back door open.B.Because he opened the safe too slowly.C.Because he pretended to forget the

after the operationB.was optimistic even when things were at their worstC.influenced all his colleagues in many waysD.was badly injured and stayed in hospital for six months60.Which of the following is conveyed in this article?A.Where there is life.there is hope.B.Everything comes to him who waits.C.Humor is the best medicine that creates miracle.D.Attitude determines everything.BAn old problem is getting new attention in the United State s—bullying.Recent cases included the tragic case of a fifteen-year-old girl whose family moved from Ireland.She hanged herself in Massachusetts in January following months of bullying.Her parents criticized her school for failing to protect her.Officials have brought criminal charges against severalteenagers.Judy Kaczynski is president of an anti-bullying group called Bully Police USA.Her daughter Tina was the victim of severe bullying starting in middle school in the state of Minnesota.She said, "Our daughter was a very outgoing child.She was a bubbly personality, very involved in all kinds of things, had lots of friends.And over a period of time her grades fell completely.She started having health issues.She couldn't sleep.She wasn't eating.She had terrible stomach pains.She started clenching (紧握,紧咬)her jaw and grinding her teeth at night.She didn't want to go to school."Bullying is defined as negative behavior repeated over time against the same person.It can involve physical violence.Or it can be verba l—for example, insults or threats.Spreading lies about someone or excluding a person from a group is known as social or relational bullying.And now there is cyberbullying, which uses the Internet, e-mail or text messages.It has easy appeal for the bully because it does not involve face-to-face contact and it can be done at any time.The first serious research studies into bullying were done in Norway in the late 1970s.The latest government study in the United States was released last year.It found that about one-third of students aged twelve to eighteen were bullied at school.Susan Sweater is a psychologist at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and co-director of the Bullying Research Network.She says schools should treat bullying as a mental health problem to get bullies and victims the help they need.She says bullying is connected to depression, anxiety and anti-social behavior, and bullies are often victims themselves.61.From the case of Tina, we can know that _____.A.bullying is rare B.victims suffered a lotC.schools are to blame D.personalities are related62.Which of the following is NOT bullying?A.To beat someone repeatedly.B.To call someone names.C.To isolate someone from friends.D.To refuse to help someone in need.63.Why is cyberbullying appealing to the bully?A.Because it can involve more people.B.Because it can create worse effects.C.Because it is more convenient.D.Because it can avoid cheating.64.According to Susan Sweater._____.A.bullies are anti-socialB.bullies should give victims helpC.students are not equally treatedD.bullies themselves also need help65.Which of the following can be the best title of the text?A.Bullyin g—An Irish Girl Committed SuicideB.15-year-old Irish Girl Committed SuicideC.Cyberbullyin g—Taking Off in SchoolsD.How to Find Bullying among TeensC"The days when the management in Western companies presented gold watches to long-serving employees to thank them for loyal service is now just a memory." says the Educational and Training Support Agency.This new development in the shape and movement of the workforce throughout Western businesses is partly a result of the way that layers of middle management are being removed, leaving more workers responsible for their own development."Having workers take responsibility for their own development might be dramatic, but it is now the rule," says the Educational and Training Support Agency."Today, not only are workers more mobile, they have to run to keep up with changes." says the Government-founded agency."It is no longer enough for a worker to gain a set of skills.Workers need the ability to react and get used to changes." This new system is also being pushed along by the way that industry is looking to its workers to renew their own skills.In the United States, some companies have contracts (合同)which repair their employees to show regularly how they have their skills up to date.Contrary to this traditions of the past, employers in the West are now looking for autonomous learners as recruits, people who can develop their own continuing education beyond the school and university system.At the same time.businesses are developing the capacity for workers to take up autonomous learning on site in workplace, so that the skills and abilities of all workers in a business continue to improve and increase."This.of course," says business theory."will also improve the productivity (生产率)of the workers and therefore the profits of the company."66.The management in western companies no longer presents gold watches to their employees because _____.A.they are not loyal to companiesB.other rewards replace gold watchesC.the way prove to be a failureD.serving a company for life is rare now67.The western workforce frequently changes their jobs partly because _____.A.hopping from job to job has become a new trendB.employees are expecting to have more experiences in their lifeC.workers have to take more responsibility for themselvesD.it is easy to complete themselves by doing so68.The passage seems to suggest that the present situation in society requires that workers shouldA.show more loyalty to their companiesB.try to develop their skills to fit in with changesC.go to college to have their skills up to dateD.be quick in changing their careers if there is the possibility69.The phrase "autonomous learner" in the last paragraph means _____.A.people who have received higher educationB.people who study hard themselvesC.people who learn things very quicklyD.people who continue their study beyond regular education70.Companies require their employee's development mainly because _____.A.it will finally help to bring more profits to the companyB.it can attract more workers who pay special attention to self-developmentC.it is good for the employees to develop their skillsD.it will make workers more responsible and loyal to the companyPart Iv Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions Read.the following passage.Fill.in the numbered, blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Learning to improve your focus throughout the day can be a little difficult, only because we are talking about 18 to 24 hours, depending on the number of hours you sleep.However, if we break down your day into manageable time frames, it would make it much easier to learn to improve your focus.Focus, or concentration, is a skill that can be taught, so there are some exercises you can do to improve your focus.Start with easy exercises like staring at a picture on the wall for a few minutes without moving or talking to anyone.Once you learn how to block out your surroundings, your focus will improve.Other mind exercises you can do are internalizing.This is when you picture yourself in a desired situation, and then you work around your picture.Actors do this a lot to block out laughter, noise, or other distractions.An example of this would be to imagine you in a potentially stressful situation, like a singer in a concert.Try to play out the scene in your mind what you would do if different scenarios were to happen.This can actually be a lot of fun.and you learn how to improve your focus by concentrating on one thing only.If this sounds a little strange to you, you could try another strategy.Why not make lists? Make a list for the things you need to accomplish for the morning, another for the afternoon.and finally, another list for the evening.Study your lists carefully and see where you can move things around.For instance, if you have a dinner to arrange that evening, don't bunch up everything in the afternoon, right before the guests arrive.Divide your chores and errands between morning and afternoon, and give yourself an hour or two to relax before the guests arrive.Planning helps you focus.It will also not stress you out.Another way to improve your focus is to take breaks.If children have rest and lunch as their breaks, adults should also allow themselves the privilege of stopping for a drink or a 30 minute sitcom on TV.Of course, if you are working in an office, you are allowed coffee breaks.Use this time wisely.Don't spend it with your co-workers beside the coffee machine talking about problems in the office.Doing this would actually stress you and get you to lose focus on the things that need to be done.Your breaks should be as quiet as possible.Read a book.take a walk.or visit a daycare.Go and do anything that will give your brain a rest.The reason why we lose focus so easily is because we have too much on our minds.Of course, it could also be because you are bored with nothing to do all day.A good balance between a too relaxed brain and an overly active brain is a desirable situation to be in.Find your capacity to work, and try not to veer away too far from it on a daily basis.Improving your focusalso means knowing what you can do and being confident about doing it well.Focus is important but difficult to improve1.71 to improve your focusI .Staring at picture.◆Staring at a wall picture 72 to learn to block out surroundingsⅡ.73 .◆Concentrating on imagining a potentially stressful work place to block out 74Ⅲ.75 .◆Dividing a day into 76 for chores and errands to be done.as well as arranging time for relaxationIV.Taking breaks.◆Wisely using time to have a drink, watch TV quietly instead of 77 ; just resting your brain2.78 for easily losing focus◆Having too much on minds◆79 all dayConclusion Keeping 80 between extremely relaxed brain and too active brain.Section B (10 marks)Directions Read.the following passage.Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit.Write your answers on your answer sheet.When I was 10 years old, my friend Sydney was diagnosed with a brain tumor.Sydney fought against it, but the tumor did not respond to treatment, and could not be surgically removed.The mass wrapped around her brain stem, the area of the brain that controls the vital functions of life such as breathing and blood pressure.Sydney died at the age of 11.After her death, I felt immense sadness and frustration about pediatric cancer.I decided to turn these negative emotions into positive actions.When I was 11 years old.I founded the Pink Polka Dots Guild(PPD)with two friends.The guild is named after Sydney s favorite color and pattern, which represents both the memory of my friend and the guild's positive approach.My goal has been to raise enough money to find a cure for brain cancer, which is the second most common cancer in children.Over the years, PPD has held fundraisers from lemonade stands to art expositions to golf tournaments.I have played a leading role in planning and organizing each PPD event.The very first Pink Polka Dots event, a garage sale.raised $ 9.000, and our most recent fundraiser, the fifth annual golf tournament, brought in over $ 73.000.The guild progressed faster than I ever anticipated.In five years, we have become 40 members strong, and raised almost half of a million dollars.I've been shocked by the public recognition that the guild has earned.PPD received an award from a U.S.Senator, spoke at a TED Conference, was featured in Teen Vogue, and appeared on The Note Berkus Show.Each of these honors has raised awareness and money for our cause.The initiative that I have taken has truly impacted the world of cancer research.PPD has provided start-up funding for scientific discoveries, such as "Tumor Paint", which illuminates cancerous cells so that surgeons can remove them with unprecedented accuracy.The discovery appeared in Time Magazine., and will be reviewed by the Food & Drug Administration starting in early 2012.1 am extremely proud to have helped fund the research of this life-saving technology.Pink Polka Dots has inspired me to be an activist.My experience has taught me that with passion and dedication, it is possible to make a difference to the world.The determination that Pink Polka Dots sparked in me has carried over to all aspects of my life, making me a driven academic, a competitive debater and a dedicated volunteer.81.Why did the author feel sad and frustrated? (No more than 8 words)82.What was the author s purpose of founding PPD? (No more than 15 words)83.What achievement has PPD made in helping cancer research? (No more than 13 words)84.What did the author learn trom his own experience of founding PPD? (No more than 15 words)Section C (25 marks)Directions Write, an English composition according to the instructions given below.现今,中学生由于学业繁重几乎都没有在家承担任何家务责任。

Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.By the end of the 20th century, TV show producers had begun to turn to the cheapest performers available ——their audience. It seemed that anyone who wanted fame could_25_it. And some people wanted it far too much.Richard and Mayumi Heene, _26_, launched a large balloon 2,000 meters into the air and then called a TV network to saythat their six-year-old son, Falcon, was inside it. Planes were re-routed and Denver International Airport was briefly __27 _. However, Falcon was later foundto have been hiding in the family ' s garage the whole time. The " balloon boy " incident turned out tobe a hoax (骗局)and the Heenes were_28— of doing it in the hope of landing their own reality TV shows. Instead, they got a fine and a short sentence each — but they were certainly29 _for a while.So do we want fame? Research suggests that a large number of us do. According to one recent survey, 30 percent of adults regularly daydream about being famous and 40 percent of us expect to 30 some kind of fame in our lifetimes. Perhaps a better question is: should we want to be famous?Do we really want every 31 of our private lives exposed in newspapers and discussed on television? Some people, such as talent show contestant Susan Boyle, seem ill-euipped to deal with this kind of 32 _, despite their talent. Boyle gained international famefor her extraordinary singing voiceafter appearing on TV talent show Britain G otsTalent and her first album became the fastest-selling of all time in the U.K. But the sudden fame didn ' t seem easy for her at first, and after the final of the show, Boyle was _33 _to a private psychiatric clinic.Furthermore, people who achieve fame often don ' t seem to like it once they have it. A surveyof celebrities found that they worry about the press, critics, threatening letters, the lack of privacy, and the _34 _on their children. These are hardly worries that _35 people have to deal with.They also,_36 _, worry about what would happen if they were no longer famous. And there are plenty of people to ask about that. Take, for example, Donato Dalrymple, a fisherman who rescued a boy from the sea and enjoyed the media spotlight for several months afterwards. When it ended, however, he _37 _his job as a toilet cleaner. " I know I hersaadrwbedythe attention had_38二"When the person has to go back to everyday life, there; a sense of 39 , loss and being cheatedout of something, says Dr. Robert Cancro of the New York University School of Medicine.25.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A )My father died when I was nine, and I remember doing the household chores to help my mother. I hated changing the vacuum cleaner (真空吸尘器)bag and picking up things the machine did not suck up.Twenty years later, in 1978, I was doing chores at home alongside my wife. One day the vacuum cleaner was screaming away, and I had to empty the bag because I could not find a replacement for it. With this lifelong hatred of the way the machine worked, I decided to make a bagless vacuum cleaner.Easier said than done, of course. I didn ' re alize that I would spend the next five years perfecting my design, a process that resulted in 5,127 different prototypes (设计原型 ).By the time I made my 15th prototype, my third child was born. By 2,627, my wife and I were really counting our pennies. By 3,727, my wife was giving art lessons for some extra cash, and we were getting further and further into debt. These were tough times, but each failure brought me closer to solving the problem.I just had a passion for the vacuum cleaner as a product, but I never thought of going into a business with it. In the early 1980s, I started trying to get licensing agreements ( 许可协议)for my technology. The reality was very different, however. The major vacuum makers had built a business model based on the profits from bags and filters (滤网).No one would license my idea, not because it was a bad one, but because it was bad for business.That gave me the courage to keep going, but soon after, the companies that I had talked with started making machines like mine. I had to fight legal battles on both sides of the Atlantic to protect the patents on my vacuum cleaner. However, I was still in financial difficulties until 1993, when my bank manager personally persuaded Lloyds Bank to lend me $1 million. Then I was able to go into production. Within two years, the Dyson vacuum cleaner became a best-seller in Britain.Today, I still embrace risk and the potential for failure as part of the process. Nothing beats the excitement of invention. Go out and brainstorm your ideas. You are not bound to any rules — in fact, the stranger and riskier your idea, the better.40.

第一:阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分) 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A 、B 、C 和D )中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A Are you looking for something to do? You might like to try one of these four experiences.Crocodile watching Do you fancy getting up close to some of the most terrifying animals on earth? Crocosaurus Cove, in Darwin (Australia) has the “Cage of Death”. It’s an enclosure th at’s lowered into a pool. This gives you a 360 degree view of a crocodile as it’s being fed. The cable broke once and the cage sank to the bottom, but they’ve fixed it since then. EdgeWalk How about walking along the edge of a building several hundred meters up in the air? If that sounds like fun, head off to the CN Tower in Toronto (Ontario, Canada). Built in 1976, the tower is 553.33 meters tall. The EdgeWalk consists of a 20-30 minute stroll along a 1.5 meter wide platform that runs around the tower’s restaurant roof. During the walk, you’re encouraged to lean forwards as you look over Toronto’s skyline(轮廓线).Plastic ball rollingDo you fancy rolling down a hill in a plastic ball? Plastic ball rolling is popular all over the world, but the place to give it a go is in Rotorua (New Zealand). Brother David and Andrew Akers came up with the idea in 1994. A typical orb (球) is about 3 meters in diameter, with an inner orb size of about 2 meters. There’s no brake or steering mechanism, but the inner layer of the plastic ball helps absorb the shock.Volcano bungee jumping If you’re looking for the adventure of a lifetime, how about going bungee jumping off a helicopter into the crater of a live volcano? As part of the jumping, a helicopter ride takes you to the Villarrica volcano, one of the most active in Chile. Once you ’re at the drop zone, you leap off the helicopter and fall into the volcano. Finally, you enjoy the ride back to the airport flying at 130kph.Attracted by the above? If so, please contact us. Only half price from March 22 to April 25th For more information, please click here.1. According to the passage, there was an accident o nce when people _____.A. jumped into the Villarrica volcanoB. walked along the platform of the CN TowerC. rolled down a hill in a plastic ball in RotoruaD. watched crocodiles in the “Cage of Death” in Darwin2. Which of the following was first invented in New Zealand?A. EdgeWalk.B. Crocodile watching.C. Plastic ball rolling.D. Volcano bungee jumping.3. It can be inferred that all the four experiences are ______.A. interesting sportsB. exciting and extremeC. held on high placesD. fit for middle to old peopleBIf you want a little extra security against thieves stealing your bicycle, designer Dennis Siegel has designed a solution. The RFID Bikealarm is attached to the seat on a bicycle and gives off an alarm when it senses movement.“The RFID Bikealarm is meant to be a useful add-on to mechanical bicycle locks because it greatly extends the range of protection with only a few components,” Siegel explains on his website. “It is low-cost, durable and easy to use.”The Bikealarm was designed as part of Siegel’s Bachelor’s degreethesis at the University of the Arts Bremen in Germany. The device will scare off any would-be thieves the moment they begin to steal the bicycle to which it is attached. It is able to continuously sense the environment to distinguish between specific events, for instance a passing tram / car and a serious theft.Siegel created a working model of an alarm that would sound when it sensed movement, but wasn’t initially sure how it would be best attached to a bicycle. “I decided to mount it to the rails of the seat because it allows for comfortable interaction and the position is less obvious as it looks like a small repair kit,” he says.Siegel chose to use RFID technology rather than Bluetooth to keep the costs down. Siegel explains that the most difficult aspect of creating the alarm was to get the electronic circuit down to a small enough size.The device runs off a kind of battery that can be charged by USB within 2 hours and lasts for a few days with normal use. As the Bikealarm is only at development stage, Siegel hasn’t signed any agreements to put it on the market.4. When it senses movement, the RFID Bikealarm will _____.A. make a warning soundB. fasten the bicycle tightlyC. shake the bicycle quicklyD. call the police automatically5. Which of the following shows the right position of the RFID Bikealarm on a bicycle?6. What do we know about the RFID Bikealarm? A. It can’t tell between specif ic events. B. It is very difficult to use. C. It uses a kind of battery for power. D. It depends on Bluetooth technology.7. It can be inferred from the last two paragraphs that ______. A. the electronic circuit is a little larger B. i t’s very easy to make a Bikealarm C. it costs too much at present D. not many Bikealarms are producedC One afternoon, after finishing shopping in a supermarket, my family and I went to the checkout. I suddenly thought we didn’t need any of the junk, and we abandoned all of those, saving $300. That got me thinking about all our pointless expenses in life. With a promise that we’d stop if it was killing us, I convinced the family to take the leap into frugality(节俭). The rules were that we would buy nothing for 30 days except absolutely essentials. Our adventure began with a great start. By 9 a.m., my wife, Ruth, had already made cakes from old strawberries and picked flowers I didn’t even know we had in the garden. I cleared the car by hand for the first time for years. I read and returned the neighbor’s newspaper before he woke up. Total spending on the first day: $0.As days turned into weeks, we became so proficient (熟练的)at living frugally. We started riding our bikes to save gas. My child’s fingerpainting was recycled as gift wrap for the homemade presents. We started to use an Internet application like Skype for free phone calls and ask neighbors with gardens for extra vegetables and herbs.In the end, we saved more than $2000 by not spending for a month. When we began, I imagined we would rush out the moment we were done and buya lot of things in the supermarket, then maybe hit the mall or go to the movies. 8. We can infer from the passage that before that very afternoon, the family _________.A. had had higher incomeB. had had a good habit of saving moneyC. had often spent money without thinking muchD. hadn’t realized they would have met financial problems9. How many things were mentioned about the things the family did to save on the first day of the “30 days”?A. TwoB. ThreeC. FourD. Five10. The end of the story tells the readers that the family _________.A. stopped halfwayB. couldn’t stand the life of frugalityC. would make up for missing the junk after the “30 days”D. succeeded in saving in the end11. This passage is mainly about _________.A. how a family managed their daily lifeB. a family’s no-buying tryC. a family’s way of solving life problemsD. how a new idea came upDNot all bodies of water are so evidently alive as the Atlantic Ocean, an S-shaped body of water covering 33 million square miles. The Atlantic has, in a sense, replaced the Mediterranean as the inland sea of Western civilization. Unlike real inland seas, which seem strangely still, the Atlantic is rich in oceanic liveliness. It is perhaps not surprising that its vitality has been much written about by ancient poets.“Storm at Sea”, a short poem written around 700, is generally regarded as one of mankind’s earliest artistic representations of t he Atlantic.When the wind is from the westAll the waves that cannot restTo the east must thunder on Where the bright tree of the sun Is rooted in the ocean’s breast.As the poem suggests, the Atlantic is never dead and dull. It is an ocean that moves, impressively and endlessly. It makes all kinds of noise-it is forever thundering, boiling, crashing, and whistling.It is easy to imagine the Atlantic trying to draw breath-perhaps not so noticeably out in mid-ocean, but where it meets land, its waters bathing up and down a sandy beach. It mimics(模仿)nearly perfectly the steady breathing of a living creature. It is filled with symbiotic existences, too: unimaginable quantities of creatures, little and large alike, mix within its depths in a kind of oceanic harmony, giving to the waters a feeling of heartbeat, a kind of sub-ocean vitality. And it has a psychology. It has personalities: sometimes peaceful and pleasant, on rare occasions rough and wild; always it is strong and striking.12. Unlike real inland seas, the Atlantic Ocean is __________.A. always energeticB. lacking in livelinessC. shaped like a squareD. favored by ancient poets13. What is the purpose of using the poem “Storm at Sea” in the passage?A. To describe the movement of the waves.B. To show the strength of the storm.C. To represent the power of the ocean.D. To prove the vastness of the sea.14. What doe s the underlined word “symbiotic” mean?A. Living together.B. Growing fast.C. Moving harmoniously.D. Breathing peacefully.15. In the last paragraph, the Atlantic is compared to __________.A. a beautiful and poetic placeB. a flesh and blood personC. a wonderful worldD. a lovely animal第二节(共5 小题;每小题2 分,满分10 分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

ABy the time I was in second grade, Dad had become a professor. We moved to a small university town in Illinois and found ourselves living next to a lot of young students. Almost every morning, as Dede would walk me to my school, we’d walk through the students’ party wasteland covered with things I was too young to know about and Dede was too old to care about.One day, a group of guys started shouting “Ali Baba” at us and laughing. I turned red and begged Dede to cross the street with me. But she refused. Instead, she laughed in her usual way, yelled “Ali Baba” and waved at them as we walked by. They just watched us in shocked silence and never said anything to us again.Dede set an example for me that day and forever after, because she taught me to be always proud of who I was.Her stories were like a movie that was rich and imaginative and she never sugarcoated anything. While Dede preferred the Queen’s English, her vocabulary was just as alive. The landscapes she created in her stories were so vibrant(充满活力的) and filled with a wild cast of characters.Almost every day, I would interrupt Dede, whatever she was busy with, and beg her to tell me a story. She would silently stare at me through the large glasses that took up half of her face. Whether it was only 10 minutes or several hours, I would barely speak as Dede took me to places I never wanted to come back from.My mother died while I was a child.

Headphones, especially, have evolved over time. Headphones have existed since 1919, but they were mainly used as amplifiers(扩声器) for telephones and radios back then.Through technological advancement, headphones experienced a change in their look and feel. In the late 1930s, Beyerdynamic officially invented headphones and put them into market. However, Milwaukee-based jazz musician, John C. Koss, invented the first stereoheadphones in the year 1958. The first headphones were big, heavy and limited to long-playing record music listening. They were used by pilots and at radio stations.However, the invention of the Walkman led to many changes in headphones. At the time, there was a growing industry ready to provide accessories(附件) for personal stereos, like headphones. These accessories became favorites for both professional musicians and music lovers. The latest generation electronics, like cellphones, TVs, computers, home theaters, CD players, and more, are all compatible(可兼容的) with headphones.Traditional, full-sized headphones continue to be used in some recording studios even now. However, modern headphones have a more stylish appearance. The in-ear headphones are one of today’s more popular types. Lighter than traditional headphones, they have a vertical in-ear design that makes them much easier to carry. Another advantage of in-ear headphones is that they come in several sizes, so they are sure to fit perfectly in everyone’s ears. They are built with advanced technologies to provide a comfortable and pleasurable listening experience.Each headphone has its own pros and cons, but most give a reasonably good performance. Whatever kind of headphones you choose is a matter of personal preference.25.

Research from the University of Michigan found white adults who behaved in an aggressive manner were 40 percent more likely to develop deadly cardiovascular (心血管的) problems.Dr Shervin Assari, from the University of Michigan, said: “This suggests white people are more fragile to the bad effects of hostility and anger on the cardiovascular system. On the contrary, black people may have develop a type of resilience (适应力) to a wide range of psychosocial risk factors including, but not limited to, hostility and anger.”“This new finding is in line with our previous findings that education, self-rated health, depression and sense of control over time are more important risk factors for white people than black people. So, whatever black people’s resilience is, it is consistent and systematic and works across the broad.”Anger levels were measured among nearly 1,600 participants between 2001 and 2011 to measure their hostility and anger. They noted whether the person was more likely to turn their anger inwards or to express it outwardly through verbal or physical attack. Deaths due to cardiovascular disease were then tracked for a 10-year period as they found the result was the same in both genders(性别).And for those experiencing high levels of anxiety, the risk of suffering from a heart attack in the hours after losing one’s temper is nine and a half times greater, scientists discovered.Dr Thomas Buckley, from Australia, said: “While the absolute risk of anger causing a heart attack is low, our data shows that the danger is real.”32. According to Dr Shervin Assari, we know that___________.A. black people can control their hostility and anger, while white people can’tB. the bad effects of hostility are the same for white people and black peopleC. white people are more likely to suffer from heart disease than black peopleD. black people can deal with all psychosocial risk factors easily33.
