Tomorrow Max and I aregoing to Coroico, a town about 60 kilometers from here. We'retaking a bus along the North Yungas Road, also known as " Death Road " . It goes along steep hillsides and cliffs. People call it the most dangerous road in the world! There are hundreds of accidents on it every year.March 17 th, 9 a.m.I've found out more about the North Yungas Road. It's only about 3 meters wide, and in some parts there's drop of at least 600 meters. That's more than half a kilometer! There's no barrier（屏障）along the side of the road. And there's often rain or fog, which makes iteven more dangerous.I found out another thing. Here in Bolivia, they drive on the right side of the road. But on the North Yungas Road, they drive on the left. Why？Because this means that the drive on the dangerous side of the road can see the edge of the road more easily. The driver's seat is on the left side of the bus, so the driver is close to the edge. Our bus leaves in one hour!March 17 th, 8 p.m.We got to Coroico safely. It was terrifying sometimes! But there was no rain or fog. Our driver told us the road is safer than it used to be, and he's driven it many times before. He didn't drive fast, and we never went too close to the edge.

About 1.2 billion people worldwide are learning a（1）______ language. However, not all of them enjoy success. We talked to hundreds of successful Language learners. They shared with us some of their habits.One key to long-term success is working towards the goal（2）______ . Most successful language learners make sure to spend a few minutes practicing every day. We also studied some"nine-to-fivers（朝九晚五）". These language learners practice their language only in class. In the long run, they show much（3）______ progress than those who practice daily. They are also more likely to"drop out".The second habit of successful language learners is that they don't "binge study（临时抱佛脚）". Instead, they make progress through a number of short study sessions over a longer period of time.Learners who practice now and then for a marathon to catch up are more likely to give up altogether.Some language learners always want to learn as much new material as they can. But it has been proved that one gradually forgets what he or she has learned over time. Let's be honest：Do you still remember all the English words and expressions you learned last year Successful language learners（4）______ the old material regularly.

All the conversations in the restaurant（2）s ______ for a moment, and then everybody started talking together.'What's happened to the lights？''Ooh, it's a blackout!'Some people laughed, and other seemed a little （3）w ______ .Then the restaurant manager came in, holding a candle.

And I feel（7）s ______ ---I'm having a birthday dinner by candlelight!''You always look on the right side!'said Mum. We all laughed.46.Mark Twain is one of the most quoted authors ever. There are hundreds of his quotations（语录）in books on posters and on websites. Here is an example："If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything."---Mark Twain.Quotations like this one give us guidance. It reminds us that telling a lie is much moredifficult than telling the truth. Telling a lie means you have to remember what you said each time you tell the lie. If you tell the truth, there is nothing to remember. He suggests that you shouldn't lie not because it is wrong, but because it is hard work. Here is another example."Always obey your parents when they are present."---Mark TwainAgain, the quotation give good advice---to always obey your parents, but the humorous part is when they are present. The quotation tells you to obey your parents when they are there with you---because they can see what you are doing.Albert Einstein's quotations are also popular. Many of his quotations are inspirational（鼓舞人心的）. This means that they help us to do our best and be the best person we can be.Here is an example："Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning."---Albert EinsteinThis is a much more serious quotation than the two Mark Twain ones. It gives us a lot to think about. Also, because this was said by Albert Einstein, it makes us want to take the quotation serious. This quotation gives us hope that that we can learn from any mistake we made yesterday. It reminds us to always look closely at everything we do and ask the right questions to help us achieve our best.Where are Mark Twain's quotations always used？______Telling a lie is easier than telling the truth, isn't it？______According to Mark Twain, why should we always obey our parents when they are present？______What does"Learn from yesterday."in Albert Einstein's quotation really mean______What's the purpose of not to stop questioning______Among the three quotations above, which one impresses（印象）you most？Why？______ 47.Write at least 60 words on the topic"Keep your mind open".（以"敞开心扉/心胸开阔" 为题，写一篇至少60 个单词的短文，标点符号不占格.）在生活中，你对你的生活满意吗？不满意的话，是什么原因呢？如果我们能以开阔的胸怀面对不同的事物，从不同的角度去思考问题，可能会得到意想不到的收获。

In a study, music was shown to cure insomnia （the condition of being unable to sleep）. Over 80% of the people taking part in the study became better sleepers after three weeks of listening to classical music at bedtime. In another study, half of the people over the age of 60 who had difficulty falling asleep reported that they became good sleepers after a few weeks. So, if you're battling to fall asleep, make yourself a 45-minute playlist of slow, calming music.CAN IT TAKE PAIN AWAY？Well, maybe not totally, but music has been shown to help us feel better. One experiment asked people to hold their hands in freezing cold water. The people who were listening to music could handle the pain for longer, especially if they got to choose the music themselves. The same was found at dentists' rooms-patients felt less pain if they got to choose the music they listened to. CAN MUSIC MAKE US ACT DIFFERENTLYFor sure! Think about the music you hear when you're at the shops or at a restaurant. Studies show that playing slow music at a restaurant makes you eat slower. The pace of music in a shopping center determines （decides on）how fast people walk-you take more time to browse （look at things in a shop）if the music is calmer. Some studies have even shown that music can influence what you buy. One test done by psychologists in England in 1999 changed the background music near displays of German and French wines. When they played German music, the German wine sold twice as much. When French music was used, the French wine sold five times better!32.Music affects us in many ways except in ______ .A. sleepB. studyC. sensesD. behaviour （2）______ music may help people who have problems in falling asleep.A.LoudB.DanceC.ClassicalD.Pop33.The underlined word "handle" is closest in meaning to ______ .A. keep offB. break downC. focus onD. deal with34.From the third question and answer, we can learn that ______ .A. fast music make people eat moreB. loud music is popular in the shopping centerC. German wines sell better than French winesD. music can change our way of eating and shopping35.The text above is written to ______ .A. tell people how to create musicB. describe different kinds of musicC. introduce the effect of musicD. test people's understanding of music36.In which section of a magazine can you find this text______A. Book club.B. Science discovery.C. World travel.D. Big debate.It can be an awful feeling when you realize you've said or done something wrong. Maybe you told a friend something that turned out to be totally false. Whatever the reason for being wrong, admitting it can make you upset.No one enjoys putting up his hand to say："I was wrong." You become responsible for your mistake, and that can make you feel （1）______ . Admitting a mistake challenges your pride and can damage your confidence. Saying you were wrong means having to（2）______ that you're not always right or perfect.Of course, having a sense of pride in yourself isn't a bad thing. When you are proud of your good abilities, appearance and achievements, it's good and encourages healthy feelings. But it will become a（3）______ when you are too proud to admit. Some people will try to avoid admitting being wrong. They will deny, make（4）______ attack someone or something else because it's easier than finding their own problems.Imagine switching off your pride for a moment and focus only on the facts of a situation that has caused you to make a mistake. When you consider the matter based on facts, it's usually easy to see the （5）______ way to go. When you can say you were wrong and offer a sincere apology, it will help to clear up a situation.So, don't be afraid to make mistakes and don't be too proud to say you are wrong. You are human and on a beautiful （6）______ that will often test you. Take control of your pride, do what feels right and learn from experience.37. A. surprised B. angry C. strange D. embarrassed38. A. accept B. complain C. pretend D. believe39. A. change B. secret C. problem D. difference40. A. choices B. excuses C. decisions D. noises41. A. right B. same C. simple D. convenient42. A. future B. direction C. journey D. exchange43.One day Sam and Jerry were going home from school. When on turning a comer, Samcried out, "A fight! Let us go and see!""No," said Jerry, "let us go quietly home! We have nothing to do with it and may get into （1）t ______ .""You are a coward （胆小鬼）and afraid to go," said Sam, and off he ran.Jerry went （2）s ______ home, and in the afternoon went to school as usual. But Sam had told all the boys that Jerry was a coward, and they laughed at him a lot. Jerry had learned that sometimes it's unnecessary to （3）a ______ with others and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong.A few days later, Sam was swimming with some schoolmates and suddenly he felt a sharppain in the leg. He struggled and screamed for help, but there was no（4）r ______ . The boys who had called Jerry a coward got out of the water as fast as they could, but they did not even try to help him.Sam was fast sinking when Jerry threw off his clothes and sprang into the water. He（5）r ______ Sam just as he was sinking the last time. With great （6）e ______ and with much danger to himself, he brought Sam to the shore and thus saved his life.Sam and his schoolmates were （7）s ______ to call Jerry a coward. They finally realized that he was braver than any of them. Never be afraid to do good, but always fear to do evil.44.Answer the questions （根据对话内容回答下列问题）S=Sean；H=HelenH：As you can see, I have many business English lessons. When I teach in the classroom, we often end up talking about things like success and what leads to success. It's interesting that many of them mention the element of luck.S：Right.H：Luck is important to success, but since you've seen that fantastic video on the TED talks website by St. John, he doesn't mention luck at all.S：Well, I believe that people can make their own luck. I mean, you can actually create what people see as luck.H：Sure. I think luck is how you respond to the opportunities that come your way.S：Yes. Very good point.H：Seizing the opportunities. But was there any point in the video that you thought was particularly interesting？S：Yes. Actually, there was.
