Are you going to school for something your parents pushed on you? Are you doing things just because others expect you to? I found many 41 in my Life Coaching lessons. The biggest one some students are having is that they are living a life someone else has 42 for them.

Why on earth would someone live a life that someone else wants for him? Usually, the main 43 is his parents. When we’re growing up we must do

friends or relatives would not support them if they apply for a

Remember, 58 choose your major or job that you don’t like just because of others’ ideas. If you choose what you like, you will be a(n)

B

School days are supposed to be the best days of your life and part of that experience usually involves some unforgettable physical activities. I asked some people to give me their memories of what happened to them on the sports field and beyond, and this is what they told me.

Cup winne r s

When I was about ten, the football team from our year unexplainably made it to the cup final of the local schools’ league. I say unexplainably because I

only remember us losing nearly every match we played. Anyway, in the final I

set up the winning goal, a brilliant cross to my mate David who headed the

ball in just before the final whistle. I still have a photograph of the team holding the cup.

Forest hik e

I remember having to lead a group of eight boys on a school expedition for the best part of two days when I was a teenager. Even though we got lost at one point, I managed to keep them all together and get them from one end of a large forest to the other and back by sheer（纯粹的）force of will. I was chosen to

be the leader, I think, because I was the only one who knew how to read a map! When we arrived back at the campsite, we found out that all the other groups

had cheated and hitched（搭便车）most of the way instead… I felt a bit stupid, but

also rather proud of myself at the same time for having done it properly.

Learning to swim, learning to d r own

I learned to swim comparatively late, I suppose. I was maybe nine years old but my brother had a painful experience which nearly put him off for life. We lived in the USA for a while and had access to a university pool where the coaches had trained the American Olympic team. In those days, though, their idea of teaching kids how to swim was to tie a can to their ankles with a bit of string, throw them in the deep end and shou t “S wim!”. I am surprised my

brother survived at all. He could only have been about six at the time.

64. The passage mainly talks about .

A. tips on taking part in outdoor

activities B. how people consider

physical activities C. why people love

outdoor activities

D. people’s experiences of physical

activities

65. What did the first person do in the school’s cup final?

A. He scored the winning goal.

B. He provided the pass for the final

goal.

C. He blew the whistle at eh end of the game.

D. He lost every game in the season.

66. The underlined word “expedition” in the third paragraph has the same meaning t o “”.

A. match

B. deal

C. trip

D. research

67. It can be learned that when the third person was young, .

A. he learned swimming from the same coach as his elder brother

B. the swimming coach’s teaching method was rather inconsiderate

C. his family lived near a university pool for about ten years

D. the American Olympic team had no swimming pool of its own

C

One side effect of globalization and the related phenomenon of greatly increased mobility is that the traditional definition of “foreigner” has passed its sell-by date.

Is a European who has lived in China longer than in his home country, becoming fluent in the language and culture in the process, still a foreigner in China, or has he become more of a foreigner in his own home town? What about a Beijinger who did her schooling in Canada and then lived and worked in mainstream society there for another 20 years while raising a family, who has no intention of returning to China? Does she think and act like a foreigner? What do we mean by this label(标签)?

When I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, the faces you would see during a walk through a local shopping mall back in the 1960s and 1970s included almost none of Asian descent. Today the same malls are full of Asian faces, and a glance

at the ranks of top scoring students in local schools reveals lots of Asian surnames.

To some extent, this is no great surprise in the American context, because America is a land of immigrants, and a cultural melting pot. Apart from the native American Indians, Americans are (or were), in some way, all foreigners anyway.

Absorbing a large number of immigrants is an established pattern in American history.

In most places, the traditional foreigners were people who didn’t speak or read the local languages well, were unfamiliar with local customs and

lifestyles, often engaged in relatively third-class work, and certainly not

the type of people you would want your sons or daughters to marry. But, nowadays, a foreigner

down the street may have better SAT scores than you did, or higher degree from a better university. He might also be your son’s or daughter’s next employer.

The traditional role models are getting mixed up, and it looks like this is just the beginning of a new chapter. Today, the whole thing has totally changed. It’s not about where people are from or what color their skins are. It’s about who they are, what values and skills they bring, and how they think.

68. By mentioning a European and a Beijinger, the author tends to tell us .

A. it’s no longer proper to define foreigners according to their

birthplaces

B. the label of foreigners can never be removed

C. most foreigners can do well in learning languages

D. i t’s impossible for a foreigner to get recognition abroad

69. What can be inferred from the 3rd paragraph?

A. In 1960s and 1970s, Asians didn’t shop in Chicago.

B. Today, more and more Asian travelers like to shop in Chicago.

C. There are more Asian immigrants today than in the 1960s and 1970s in Chicago.

D. Most Asian students do well academically in the schools in Chicago.

70. The underlined part in paragraph 1 has the closest meaning to_ .

A. the term “foreigner” s hould be redefined

B. the term “foreigner” s hould no longer be used

C. there are no more foreigners in the world today

D. the term “foreigner” is not proper to define people

71. What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. Globalization and mobility caused more and more immigrants.

B. The standards of defining “foreigner” have thoroughly changed.

C. America is a cultural melting pot.

D. Immigration is a global social phenomenon.

D

In the kitchen of my mother’s houses there has always been a wooden stand （木架）with a small notepad（记事本）and a hole for a pencil.

I’m looking for paper on which to note down the name of a book I am recommending to my mother. Over forty years since my earliest memories of the kitchen pad and pencil, five houses later, the current paper and pencil look

the same as they always did. Surely it can’t be the same pencil. The pad is more modern, but the wooden stand is definitely the original one.

“I’m just amazed you still have the same stand for holding the pad and pencil after all these year.” I say to her, walking back into the living-room with a sheet of paper and the pencil. “You still use a pencil. Can’t you

afford a pen?”

My mother replies a little sharply. “It works perfectly well. I’ve

always kept the stand in the kitchen. I never knew when I might want to note down an idea, and I was always in the kitchen in those day s.”

Immediately I can picture her, hair wild, blue housecoat covered in flour, a wooden spoon in one hand, the pencil in the other, her mouth moving silently. My mother smiles and says, “O ne day I was cooking and watching baby Pauline, and

I had a brilliant thought, but the stand was empty. One of the children must have taken the paper. So I just picked up the breadboard and wrote it all down on the back. It turned out to be a real breakthrough for solving the mathematical problem I was working on.”

This story—which happened before I was born—reminds me how extraordinary my mother was, and is, as a gifted mathematician. I feel embarrassed that I complain about not having enough child-free time to work. Later, when my mother is in the bathroom, I go into her kitchen and turn over the

breadboards. Sure enough, on the back of the smallest one, are some penciled marks I recognize as mathematics. Those symbols have traveled unaffected through fifty years, rooted in the soil of a cheap wooden breadboard, invisible（看丌

到的）exhibits at every meal.

72. Why has the author’s m other always kept the notepad and pencil in the kitchen?

A. To leave messages.

B. To list her everyday tasks.

C. To note down maths problems.

D. To write down a flash of inspiration.

73. What is the author’s original opinion about the wooden stand?

A. It has great value for the family.

B. It needs to be replaced by

a better one.

C. It brings her back to her lonely childhood.

D. It should be passed

on to the next generation.

74. The author feels embarrassed for .

A. blaming her mother wrongly

B. giving her mother a lot of trouble

C. not making good use of time as her mother did

D. not making any breakthrough in her field

75. In the author’s m ind, her mother is .

A. strange in behavior

B. keen on her research

C. fond of collecting old things

D. careless about her appearance

Eco City Farms is an educational nonprofit organization. It seeks to empower the community by teaching economic development, job training and a healthier way of living. The group has set up farms near automobile repair businesses and fast food stores in urban neighborhoods.

Social activist Margaret Morgan-Hubbard founded Eco City Farms. She

says that lack of fresh produce is a major health problem for children and

their families living in Maryland. “What’s critical is that 70 percent of

the people in these towns are either overweight, have some illnesses, for example, diabetes, or have other kinds of diet-related ailments because they don’t have access to healthy food.

Eco City Farms offers several programs for agriculture, food and

finding jobs with environment-friendly businesses. People can also learn

how to cook

healthier foods and teach others how to prepare meals. On a recent day, Philip

Sidibe demonstrated his cooking skills. He prepared Aloco, a popular food

in Cameroon where he grew up. He and other young people not only cook their food, they also grow it in a large garden.

Tameka Barbour-Gaskins lives in Autumn Woods. She says her whole family

is eating healthier meals because of the local produce. “I like junk food. I

like quick meals. Not easy to just go from eating a certain way all your life

to switching over to being healthier… With the urban garden here, with my son learning, he can help me switch around my style of eating. I want a healthy family.”

Margaret says the urban garden is an agent for change and the young people are its newest supporters. “Our program is about planting seeds. It’s about planting seeds not just in the ground, but in other human beings so that the movement can grow and i t’s really exciting because these young people will be working with us throughout the year to help plan the actual farm and to finally own it.”

86. What does Eco City Farms aim to do? (No more than 20 words)

87. What does the underlined word “ailments” in Paragraph 3 mean? (1 word)

88. According to Margaret, what’s the major danger to people’s health in Maryland? (No more than 10 words)

89. How do people benefit from the programs offered by Eco City Farms? (No
