Some years ago, writing in my diary used to be a usual activity. I would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the day’s event s, feelings, and impression s in my little blue diary. I did not really need to express my emotion s by way of words, but I gain ed a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper.After all, isn’t accumulat ing memories a way of preserv ing the past?

When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley, well-equipped with pens, a diary, and a camera. During the trip, I was busy recording every incident, name and place I came across.

I felt proud to be spending my time productive ly(多产地), dutiful ly(真诚地) preserving for future generation s a detailed description of my travels. On my last night there, I wander ed out of my tent, diary in hand. The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon, and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows. I automatical ly took out my pen….

At that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic(美妙的)beauty of the valley. All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterization s(描述) I had set down in my diary.

Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling. I still love to record ideas and quotation s(引用) that strike me in books, or observation s that are particularly meaningful. I take pictures, but not very often-------only of object s I find really beautiful.I’m no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old. I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.

I don’t want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes. Maybe I won’t have as many exact representation s of people and places; maybe I’ll forget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me. I don’t live to make memories----I just live, and the memories form themselves.

Mothers and daughters go through so much------yet when was the last time a mother and daughter sat down to write a book together about it all? Perri Klass and her mother, Sheila Solomon Klass, both gifted professional writers, prove to be ideal(理想的)co-writers as they examine their decade s of motherhood, daughterhood, and the wonderful ways their lives have overlap ped (重叠).

Perri notes with amazement how closely her own life has mirror ed her mother’s: both have full-time career s; both have publish ed books, articles, and stories; each has three children; they both love to read. They also love to travel------in fact, they often take trip s together. But in truth, the harder they look at their lives, the more they acknowledge their big differences in circumstance and basic nature(本性).

A child of the Depression (大萧条), Sheila was raise d in Brooklyn by parents who considered education a luxury for girls. Starting with her college education, she has fought for everything she’s ever accomplish ed. Perri, on the other hand, grew up privilege d in the New Jersey suburbs(郊区) of the 1960s and 1970s. For Sheila, wasting time or money is a crime, and luxury is unthinkable while Perri enjoys the occasional small luxury, but has not been successful at trying to persuade her mother into enjoying even the tiniest thing she likes.

Each writing in her own unmistakable voice, Perri and Sheila take turns explor ing the joys and pain s, the love and bitter ness(痛苦), the minor(小的) troubles and lasting respect that have always bond ed them together. Sheila describes the adventure of giv ing birth to Perri in a tiny town in Trinidad where her husband was doing research field work(领域). Perri admit s that she can’t sort out all the mess in the household s, even though she knows it drive s her mother crazy. Together they compare thoughts on bring ing up children and working, admit long-hidden sorrow s, and enjoy precious memories.

Looking deep into the lives they have lived separate ly(分开地)and together, Perri and Sheila tell their mother-daughter story with honesty, humor, enthusiasm, and admiration for each other. A written account in two voices, Every Mother Is a Daughter is a duet(二重奏) that produces a deep, strong sound with the experiences that all mothers and daughters will recognize.

【】55. Why does Perri think that her own life has mirrored her mother’s?

A. They both have gone through difficult times.

B. They have strong emotional tie s with each other.

We’ve reached a strange----some would say unusual-----point. While fighting world hunger continues to be the matter of vital importance according to a recent report from the World Health Organization (WHO), more people now die from being overweight, or say, from being extremely fat, than from being underweight. It’s the good life that is more likely to kill us these days.

Worse, nearly l8 million children under the age of five around the world are estimate d(预测)to be overweight. What’s going on?

We really don’t have many excuses for our weight problems.The dangers of the problem have been drill ed into us by public-health campaign s since 2001 and the message is get ting through-----up to a point.

In the 1970s, Finland, for example, had the highest rate of heart disease in the world and being overweight was its main cause. Not any more. A public-health campaign has greatly reduce d the number of heart disease deaths by 80 per cent over the past three decade s.

Maybe that explains why the percentage of people in Finland taking diet pills doubled between 2001 and 2005, and doctors even offer surgery(外科手术)of remov ing fat inside and change the shape of the body. That has become a sort of fashion.No wonder it rank s as the world’s most body-conscious country.

We know what we should be doing to lose weight-----but actually doing it is another matter.By far the most popular excuse is not taking enough exercise.More than half of us admit we lack willpower.

Others blame good food. They say: it’s just too inviting(吸引人的) and it makes them overeat. Still others lay the blame on the Americans, complain ing that pound s have piled on thanks to eating too much American-style fast food.

Some also blame their parents------their gene s(基因).But unfortunately, the parents are wronged because they’re normal in shape, or rather slim.

It’s a similar story around the world, although people are relatively unlikely to have tried to lose weight. Parents are eager to see their kids shape up. Do as I say-----not as I do.

【】59. What is the “strange” point mention ed in the first sentence?

A. The good life is a greater risk than the bad life.

B.Starvation is taking more people’s lives in the world.

C.WHO report shows people’s un aware ness of food safety.

D. Overweight issue remain s un resolve d(未解决的)despite WHO’s efforts.

【】60. Why does the author think that people have no excuse for being overweight?

A. A lot of effective diet pills are available(可用的).

B. Body image has nothing to do with good food.

C. They have been made fully aware of its dangers.

D. There are too many overweight people in the world.

【】61. The example of Finland is used to illustrate(阐述) ______.

A. the cause of heart disease

B. the fashion of body shaping

C. the effectiveness of a campaign

D. the history of a body-conscious country

【】62. Which would be the best title for the passage?

A. Actions or Excuses?

B. Overweight or Underweight?

C. WHO in a Dilemma

D.No Longer Dy ing of Hunger

The technology is great. Without it we wouldn’t have been able to put a man on the moon, explore the ocean’s depth s or eat microwave sausages. Computers have revolutionize d our lives and they have the power to educate and pass on knowledge. But sometimes this power can create more problems than it solve s.

Every doctor has had to try their best to calm down patients who’ve come into their surgery(外科手术) waving an Internet print-out, convince d that they have some rare incurable disease, say(比如), throat cancer. The truth is usually far more ordinary, though: they don’t have throat cancer, and it’s just that their throats are swollen.Being a graduate of the Internet “school” of medicine does not guarantee accurate self-health-checks.

One day Mrs. Almond came to my hospital after feeling faint(晕) at work. While I took her blood sample(样本) and tried to find out what was wrong, she said calm ly, “I know what’s wrong; I’ve got throat cancer. I know there’s nothing you doctors can do about it and I’ve just got to wait until the day comes.”

As a matter of routine I ordered a chest X-ray.I looked at it and the blood results an hour later. Something wasn’t right.“Did your local doctor do an X-ray?”I asked.“Oh, I haven’t been to the doctor for years,”she repli ed.“I read about it on a website and the symptom s fit ted, so I knew that’s what I had.”

However, some of her symptoms, like the severe cough and weight loss, didn’t fit with it----but she’d just ignore d this.

I looked at the X-ray again, and more tests confirm ed it wasn’t the cancer but tuberculosis (肺结核) ----- something that most certainly did need treating, and could be deadly. She was lucky we caught it when we did.

Mrs. Almond went pale(苍白) when I explained she would have to be on treatment for the next six months to ensure(保证) that she was fully recover ed. It was certainly a lesson for her.“I’m so embarrassed,”she said, shaking her head, as I explained that all the people she had come into close contact with would have to be found out and test ed. She listed up to about 20, and then I went to my office to type up my notes.Unexpected ly, the computer was not work ing, so I had to wait until someone from the IT department came to fix it.Typical. Maybe I should have a microwave sausage while I waited?

risk of disability or death within 10 years than those pessimist s who expect ed their future to be worse.

The paper, publish ed this March in Psychology and Aging(变老), examine d health and welfare survey s from roughly40,000 Germans between ages 18 and 96. The surveys were conduct ed every year from 1993 to 2003.

Survey respondent s(受访者) were asked to estimate(预测)their present and future life satisfaction on a scale of 0 to 10, among other questions.

The researchers found that young adult s (age 18 to 39) routine ly overestimate d(高估)their future life satisfaction,while middle-aged adults (age 40 to 64) more accurate ly predict ed how they would feel in the future.Adults of 65 and older, however, were far more likely to underestimate(低估)their future life satisfaction. Not only did they feel more satisfied than they thought they would, the older pessimists seemed to suffer a lower ratio (比率) of disability and death for the study period.

“We observe d that being too optimistic in predicting a better future than actually observed was associate d with a greater risk of disability and a greater risk of death within the following decade,”wrote Frieder R. Lang, professor at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg.

Lang and his colleague s believed that people who were pessimistic about their future may be more careful about their actions than people who expect ed a rosy(乐观的) future.

“Seeing a dark future may encourage positive evaluation s of the actual self and may contribute to taking improved precaution s (预防措施),”the authors wrote.

Surprisingly, compared with those in poor health or who had low income s, respondents who enjoyed good health or income were associated with expecting a greater decline(下降).Also, the researchers said that higher income was related to a greater risk of disability.

The authors of the study note d(提到)that there were limitation s to their conclusion s.Illness, medical treatment and personal loss could also have driven health outcome s.

However, the researchers said a pattern was clear.“We found that from early to late adulthood, individual s adapt their expectation s of future life satisfaction from optimistic, to accurate, to pessimistic,”the authors conclude d.

【】67.According to the study, who made the most accurate prediction of their future life satisfaction?

A. Optimistic adults.

B. Middle-aged adults.

C. Adults in poor health.

D. Adults of lower income.

【】68.Pessimism may be positive in some way because it causes people ______.

A. to fully enjoy their present life

B. to estimate their contribution accurately

C. to take measure s against potential risks

D. to value health more highly than wealth

【】69. How do people of higher income see their future?

A. They will earn less money.

B. They will become pessimistic.

C. They will suffer mental illness.

D. They will have less time to enjoy life.

【】70. What is the clear conclusion of the study?

A. Pessimism guarantee s chances of survival.

B. Good financial condition lead s to good health.

C. Medical treatment determine s health outcomes.

D. Expectations of future life satisfaction decline with age.
