The award should also be seen as a tribute(致敬) to the Colombian people who, despite great hardships and abuse, have not given up hope of a just peace.The Nobel Prize in EconomicsOliver Hart, 68, a British economist teaching at Harvard, and Bengt Holmstrom, 67, a Finnish economist teaching at MIT, were announced as the winners Monday by the Royal Academy of Sciences in Stockholm, Sweden.

It felt like someone was stabbing (刺) me in the chest with a knife over and over again.After three months of rest I went back to college, but then things took a turn for the worse. I was staying at my Nana’s house and woke up in the middle of the night with a terrible pain in my chest. I knew I was having a heart attack again.I couldn’t even shout for help. Luckily my grandpa was going to the to ilet and heard me falling out of bed. If it wasn’t for him, I probably wouldn’t be here.The two holes in my heart were causing the problems and I needed an operation immediately to repair them. Unfortunately, the surgery didn’t go well and they only manag ed to repair one of the holes.When I woke up from the operation, I had a really dry mouth and couldn’t wait to have something to eat and drink. The biggest shock of all came when I was told that I needed a heart transplant and was put on the register. The doctors were stunned at how quickly heart failure came on – it usually takes years, but it took my heart less than six months to get to that stage. My whole world came crashing down, but I stayed strong. It was a choice between crying every day and getting on with my life.As time went on, life became even harder. I hated feeling weak all the time and needing help with everything. It got to the point where I thought I would never get a new heart. I was diagnosed with depression.Even though I thought that Christmas 2008 would be my last, I really enjoyed it and even had a good New Year. Everyone was crying for me when the clock struck midnight and they told me to keep fighting.A week later, I got a call from the doctors saying they’d found a suitable donor (捐赠人). My wish came true and thankfully the operation went well. I spent four hours in surgery where they took out my old heart and put a new one in. When I woke up I burst out crying. I had a second chance at life.4.What happened when the author was having his second heart attack?A. He felt less pain than he had during the previous one.B.

It’s one of the first words we learn as babies, yet it’s one of the last ones we think to use as adults. That’s unfortunate, because saying hello is more than just saying hello —it is noticing another’s worth. How might the world change — how might we change — if we mastered this word? To find it out, I spent one month saying hello to every person I met. Here’s what I’ve learned.It can improve productivity. In one of the few studies ever done on this subject, Allan Allday, an assistant professor of special education at Oklahoma State University, had middle school teachers greet their students individually each morning. This exchange of greetings raised the kids’ productivity. School went from impersonal to personal, and that resulted in more class participation and better grades.Environments influence friendliness. And researchers say pleasant environments generally encourage more smiles and hellos than unpleasant ones. My experience was similar. Whatever the reason, my urban hellos were answered far less often than my rural ones. Similarly, people in vacation spots, like the Jersey Shore, were far friendlier than those hurrying to work downtown.It’s a form of universal health insurance. It’s impossible to say hello without smiling. And smiling has been shown to lower blood pressure, relieve stress and improve happiness. Apparently, a smile creates a similar effect on the recipient (接受者). So maybe we can make the world a better place by saying hello to each other. After a month of doing it, I feel lighter and more connected and I have a better sense of wellbeing.8.What can be inferred in Paragraph 1?A. Adults are not willing to say hello.B. The first word we learn as babies is hello.C. Saying hello is resistance to another’s worth.D. The writer wasted a month saying hello to every person.9.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 probably means that________.A. teachers and students got friendlier so that the students became more active and scored higherB. the exchange of greeting resulted in the increasing number of school studentsC. students can get higher scores in tests because they greet their teachers every dayD. in private schools, there is more class participation and better grades10.According to the passage, smiling can have the following effects on health except________.A. lowering blood pressureB. improving intelligenceC. increasing pleasureD. reducing pressure11.What’s the writer’s purpose of writing the passage?A. To tell us saying hello can improve productivity.B. To tell us saying hello is a form of universal health insurance.C. To prove that environments influence friendliness.D. To advise us to say hello more often.DWhen a consumer finds that an item she or he bought is faulty or in some other way does not live up to the manufacturer's claims, the first step is to present the warranty, or any other records which might help, at the store of purchase. In most cases, this action will produce results. However, if it does not, there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction. A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager. In general, the ＂higher up＂his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumer's favor, assuming he or she has a just claim.Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the place of purchase, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can demonstrate what is wrong with the item in question. If this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. For example, ＂The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear＂is better than ＂This stereo does not work＂. The store manager may advice the consumer to write to the manufacturer. If so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and firmly as possible. If a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go to a step further. She or he can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting consumer's rights.12.When a consumer finds that his or her purchase has a fault in it, the first thing he or she should do is to _________.A. threaten to take the matter to courtB. write a firm letter of complaint to the store of purchaseC. show some written proof of the purchase to the storeD. complain personally to the manager13.How can a consumer make his or her complaint more effective, according to the passage?A. Threaten to take the seller to court.B. Make polite and general statements about the problem.C. Avoid having direct contact with the store manager.D. Explain exactly what is wrong with the item.14.According to the passage, which of the following is suggested as the last alternative that consumers may turn to?A. Complain to the manufacturer.B. Write a complaint letter to the manager.C. Turn to the Consumers’ Rights Protection Organization for help.D. Complain to the store manager in person.15. The phrase ＂live up to＂in this context means __________.A. realize the purpose ofB. fulfill the demands ofC. keep the promise ofD. meet the standard of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。
