阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
Spending time with family was the top answer to that open-ended question, according to an extensive survey -- more than 100 questions asked of 1,280 people ages 13-24 -- conducted by The Associated Press on the nature of happiness among America's young people.
Next was spending time with friends, followed by time with an important other. And good news for parents: Nearly three-quarters of young people say their relationship with their parents makes them happy.
"They're my foundation," says Kristiana St. John, 17, a high-school student from Queens in New York. "My mom tells me that even if I do something stupid, she's still going to love me no matter what. Just knowing that makes me feel very happy and blessed."
Other results are more embarrassed. While most young people are happy overall with the way their lives are going, there are racial differences: the poll(民意测验) shows whites to be happier than blacks and Spanish. A lot of young people feel stress, particularly those from the middle class, and females more than males.
You might think money would be clearly tied to a general sense of happiness. But almost no one said "money" when asked what makes them happy, though people with the highest family incomes are generally happier with life. However, having highly educated parents is a stronger predictor of happiness than income.
And sex? Yes, we were getting to that. Being sexually active actually leads to less happiness among 13-17 year olds, according to the survey. If you're 18 to 24, sex might lead to more happiness in the moment, but not in general.
Young people think marriage would make them happy and want to be married some day. Most also want to have kids.
Finally, when asked to name their heroes, nearly half of respondents mentioned one or both of their parents. The winner, by a nose: Mom.
56. From the passage, what makes the young people happiest?
A. Having a good relationship with their parents
B. Spending time with friends
C. Being with an important person
D. Staying alone
57. Young people think__________.
A. money has much to do with happiness
B. living a comfortable life brings them happiness
C. these who have highly educated parents fell happier
D. doing what they want to do cause them more happiness
58. Which of the following is mentioned except_____________
A. Whites are happier than Blacks and Spanish
B. the minority of young people want to get married and have kids
C. young people from the middle class feel more stress than others
D. males feels less stress than females
59. The best title of this passage is_________
A. Happiness B. Happiness and friends
C. Family--the key to happiness D. Family
B
Australian Prime Minister John Howard has called general elections for November. The election will decide the fate of his 11-year leadership, and whether Australia will begin withdrawing troops from Iraq.
Howard asked the Governor General to dissolve the 41st federal parliament for a November 24th election. He faces a tough battle to win a fifth term in office against Labor Party opposition leader Kevin Rudd. Howard says he is looking forward to the campaign.
John Howard said, "I look forward to the journey of the next six weeks, doing what I enjoy most of all about public life, and that is meeting and interacting with my fellow Australians."
At a press conference, Howard stressed his coalition party's successes, pointing to the unemployment rate which reached a 33-year low in September.
He also gives his party credit for strong national security and says Australia's troop deployment in Iraq is in the national interest. Howard ruled out setting a target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions during the election campaign.
Two hours after Howard's announcement, Federal Opposition Leader Kevin Rudd said Australians need a "new leadership" to ensure they have a better future.
Rudd says if his Labor party wins the election, they will improve education, sign the Kyoto Protocol, and withdraw troops from Iraq.

The Vladivostok News, July 25, 2007---Sakhalin’s Office has launched(发起)a case into the disappearance of a Primary student from a transport ship carrying a student group to the Kuril Islands for summer work at a fishing factory, a press statement from the office reported. Yuri Sidorenko, a student at the Technological Institute in the Primary town of Arseniev, went missing on July 12 from the Polenta, a transport ship traveling from Sakhalin’s Korsakov to the port of Kurilsk, two hours before the ship reached the destination port from about 25-30 miles out. Sidorenko, 26, was traveling with a group from Primary’s Committee of Student Groups. According to Sakhalin’s Vice Prosecutor Alexander Shmelyov, the student’s disappearance might be an incident related to violations(违反)of safety norms(标准), the statement said. The criminal case was launched after the young man’s father filed a statement to the police. The case is being looked into by Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk’s Office. At present, by agreement with the department for youth policy in Sakhalin’s administration, about 1,500 students from the Russian Far East are employed at the Kurils’ fish processing factories during the salmon fishing season, a statement from Sakhalin’s administration said.
63.According to the news report, the student group went to the Kuril Islands to _______.
A. have a business visit B. have a summer camp
C. work for a short time D. look into a criminal case
64. The name of the transport ship is ___________.
A. Yuri Sidorenko B. Polenta C. Alexander Shmelyov D. Korsakov
65. When Sidorenko went missing, he was _______.
A. at home B. at school
C. on the transport ship D. at the destination port
66. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Sidorenko didn’t enjoy study at school, so he went to work in a fish processing factory.
B. The young man’s father put pressure on the police to launch the case into the disappearance of his son.

Once you get into the elementary, high school and college levels, you are entering into the world of percentile grades, grade point averages and “ranking” in class. It’s great when your child gets good grades, and we hope that your child’s love for learning will continue. But be careful not to fall into the trap of pressuring your child into doing things only to get a high grade.
Similarly, if your child gets an average or low grade in subjects, do not treat him with disdain(轻视). In both cases, your child will feel and think that his value as a person is tied into his grade. That’s like saying that your value as an adult, as a person, is dependent upon your salary or position in a company.
Your child is NOT a number. He is a complex being who has so many other valuable characteristics that are missed by the people giving him the grade. Grades only reflect a cumulative(累积的) score of correct answers, or the value that the teacher is willing to give you for the work you have produced—just as salaries simply reflect what a company can afford to give you for the service you are rendering(提供) to it, and your position reflects your scope of responsibility in the company. Grades, (or salaries and positions for that matter) do NOT reflect a person’s character, individuality, thoughts, dreams, aspirations and unrealized potential, which are far more important than just getting the right answers in a written test.
So no matter what grade your child gets, treat him the way he deserves to be treated: With a great deal of RESPECT and a whole lot of LOVE. A GRADE DOES NOT MAKE YOUR CHILD.
67. According to the passage, faced with a child with low grades, what should we do?
A. Regard him or her as a dull child.
B. Scold and punish him
C. treat him with respect and love
D. Take it seriously
68. In the writer’s opinion, _____are far more important than grades.
A. character and individuality
B. aspiration and dreams
C. thoughts and dreams
D. all of the above
69. This passage is mainly written to___________.
A. teachers B. students C. parents D. society
70. In paragraph3, the underlined word “it” refers to______.
A. service B. company C. position D. responsibility
E
Dogs are social animals and without proper training, they will behave like wild animals. They will soil your house, destroy your belongings, bark excessively, fight other dogs and even bite you. Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal dog activities that occur at the wrong time or place or are directed at the wrong thing. The key to preventing or treating behavior problems is learning to teach the dog to redirect its normal behavior to outlets that are acceptable in the domestic setting.
One of the best things you can do for your dog and yourself is to obedience train it. Obedience training doesn't solve all behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just about any problem. Training opens up a line of communication between you and your dog. Effective communication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want it to do.
Training is also an easy way to establish the social rank order. When your dog obeys a simple request of "come here, sit," it is showing obedience and respect for you. It is not necessary to establish yourself as top dog or leader of the dog pack by using extreme measures. You can teach your dog its subordinate role by teaching it to show submission to you. Most dogs love performing tricks for you to pleasantly accept that you are in charge.
Training should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog. It can enrich your relationship and make living together more enjoyable. A well-trained dog is more confident and can more safely be allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal.
71. Behavior problems of dogs are believed to
A. worsen in modern society B. occur when they go wild
C. be just part of their nature D. present a threat to the community
72. The primary purpose of obedience training is to
A. teach the dog to perform clever tricks
B. enable the dog to regain its normal behavior
C. make the dog aware of its owner's authority
D. provide the dog with outlets for its wild behavior
73. Effective communication between a dog and its owner is .
A. an extreme measure in obedience training
B. a good way to teach the dog new tricks
C. the foundation for dogs to perform tasks
D. essential to solving the dog's behavior problems
74. Why do pet dogs love performing tricks for their masters?
A. To show their willingness to obey.
B. To show their affection for their masters.
C. To avoid being punished.
D. To win leadership of the dog pack.
75. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Methods of the dog’s obedience training.
B. Methods of the dog’s feed.
C. Behavior problems with the dog’s obedience training.
D. Communicating with your dog.
