(A)

I am a good mother to three children . I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent .

I no longer consider myself the center of the universe . I show up . I listen . I try to laugh . I am a good friend to my husband . I have tried to make marriage vows (誓约) mean what they say . I am a good friend to my friends , and they to me . Without them , there would be nothing to say to you today .

Something really , really bad happened to me , something that changed my life in ways that , if I had my choice , it would never have been changed at all . And what I learned from it is what , today , seems to be the hardest lesson of all :

I learned to love the journey, not the destination . I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it , completely and totally .And I tried to do that , in part , by telling others what I had learned.

By telling them this : Read in the backyard with the sun on your face . Learn to be happy . And think of life as a deadly illness , because if you do , you will live it with joy and passion (激情) as it ought to be lived .

If you are like many people, you enjoy sports in your leisure time. Many of us watch sports on TV, go to games and meets, and play tennis or golf in the time left after school or work. We may even chat about sports on the Internet. Many observers note that sports reinforce(加强;增强)norms and values important to society, like competition and teamwork. Sports metaphors, such as \"There is no I in TEAM,\" teach us that success is achieved by putting the group above individual glory. Slogans like \"Winners never quit and quitters never win\" reinforce values of competition and working hard to get ahead.

Nevertheless, organized sports have been criticized for several things. One is that they encourage potentially harmful male aggression. Another is that they direct minority students, particularly African American males, toward athletics--instead of academics--as a road to success. However, only a very small minority of high school athletes are able to support themselves through athletics. In fact, according to one estimate, only one of 12,000 high school athletes will earn money as a professional athlete; among those who make it, the average professional career lasts only three years. Nevertheless, the importance of sports in teaching and reinforcing norms and values, along with the role of sports in symbolizing and integrating communities, are important reasons why nearly every nation has encouraged athletics. . What's the primary purpose of the writer's writing the passage?

A. To discuss the advantages and disadvantages of promoting athletics. B. To argue against supporting athletic teams in high schools. C. To entertain the reader with anecdotes about sports figures.

D. To persuade that sports programs in schools need more money. 65. What does the underlined word \"norms\" probably mean?

A. Types of sports. B. Unusual or rare events. C. Errors to be avoided. D. Expected standards of behavior. 66. What's the main idea of the second paragraph? A. Athletics are supported by many countries.

B. Emphasis on athletics may have some negative effects. C. Athletics prepare young people for success in life. D. African Americans often make excellent athletes.

67. The author of this passage probably feels that __________.

A. teamwork is not important to success in athletics B. playing sports makes young males much more manly

C. athletes should be encouraged to build academic skills D. sports should be discouraged in most American schools

About 1 in 15 households drink bottled water today, spending about $ 4 billion a year on it. Although the reasons for the trend are many, bottled water's health benefits fall near the top of the list. Surveys have found that about 25 percent of bottled water drinkers choose the beverage for health and safety reasons; another quarter believe it is pure and free of contaminants(杂质). Regardless of its pristine image, bottled water is not necessarily any purer or more healthful than what flows right out of the tap. Consider that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the bottled water industry watchdog, does not require that bottled water meet higher standards for quality, such as the maximum level of contaminants, than public water supplies regulated by the EPA. For the most part, the FDA simply follows EPA's regulatory lead. Granted, bottled water is often filtered(过滤) to remove chemicals such as chlorine that may impart a certain taste. But that doesn't make it any safer. In fact, about 25 to 40 percent of bottled water comes from the same municipal water supplies as tap water. Furthermore, some bottled waters do not contain any or enough of the fluoride(氟化物) needed to fight cavities. The only way to determine whether a certain water contains the mineral is to check with the company that bottles it.

This is not to say that bottled water is necessarily any better or worse, from a health standpoint, than tap water. It's certainly preferable to tap water for those who like its taste. The problem is that many consumers pay 300 to 1,200 times more per gallon for bottled water than for tap water because they think bottled water is the more healthful of the two. Bottlers add to the confusion by sprinkling terms such as \"pure\\"crystal pure\" and \"premium\" on labels illustrated with pictures of glaciers, mountain streams, and waterfalls, even when the water inside comes from a public reservoir. However, the FDA has set forth regulations requiring clear labeling of bottled waters. The miniglossary of bottled waters explains what some of the terms used on bottles really mean.

68. What conclusion can we draw from the passage? A. Most bottled water drinkers buy it for the taste.

B. Labels on bottled water are used to mislead consumers. C. The FDA sets high standards for bottled water.

D. Only wealthy people can afford bottled water.

69. According to the passage, removing chlorine from water____________ A. does not make the water safer B. is required by the FDA

C. makes the water less expensive D. is necessary for good health

70. According to the passage, one valid reason for drinking bottled water is the __________. A. convenience B. cost. C. minerals D. taste 71.What’s the main idea of this passage? A. Bottled water may be preferable to tap water in taste. B. Bottled water is always safer to drink than tap water. C. Consumers should consider carefully the reason for buying bottled water.

The art of living is to know when to let hold fast and to let go for life is a paradox(自相矛盾的事物).People always say:“ A man comes to this world with his hand clenched(握紧),but when he dies, his hand is open.”

Surely we ought to hold fast to life, for it is wondrous, and full of beauties. We know that this is so, but all too often we recognize this truth only in our backward glance when we remember what was and then suddenly realize that it is no more.

A recent experience re-taught me this truth. I was hospitalized following a severe heart attack and had been in intensive care for several days. It was not a pleasant place. One morning, I had to have some tests. The required machines were located in a building at the opposite end of the hospital, so I had to be wheeled across the courtyard on a gurney(盖尼式床).As we emerged from our unit, the sunlight hit me. That’s all there was to my experience. Just the ________ of the sun. And yet how beautiful it was------how warming, how sparking, how brilliant! I looked to see whether anyone else loved the sun’s golden glow, but everyone was hurrying, most with eyes fixed on the ground. Then I remembered how often I do the same, life’s gifts are valuable------but we are too careless of them.

Here then is the first pole of life’s paradoxical demands on us: never too busy for the wonder and the awe of life. Be reverent(虔诚的) before each dawning day. Hug each hour. Seize each golden minute.

书面表达 Dear Editor,

I'm writing to you about the industrial area which will be built near our town. Recently the local government has decided to build an industrial area, which has aroused heated argument.

Some agree that we should build the industrial area. If we do so, many new jobs can be created, which will increase people's income and improve their living standards. What's more, it can push the development of the local economy and the natural resources can also be made good use of.

But others oppose the idea, because they think it will pollute the environment. They believe that it will produce noise which will disturb people's peaceful life. Furthermore, a lot of farmland will be built on.

Personally, I agree with the second view. Economic development should never be at the cost of the environment we must pay attention to sustainable development so that we'll have a better hometown in the future.

Yours truly, Li Hua
