As a child, I was truly afraid of the dark and of getting lost; these fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.
Maybe it was the strange waythings looked and sounded in my 25 room at night thatfrightenedme so much. There was never total 26 , but a streetlight or passing car lights madeclothes hung over a chair take on the 27 of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the curtains seem to 28 when there was no wind. A tiny sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the daylight. My imaginationwould 29 wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would 30 very still so that the “enemy” would not discover me.
Another of my childhood 31 was that I would get lost, especially on the way home from school. Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home. After school, 32 , when all the buses were linedup along the street, I was afraid that I’d get 33 the wrong one and be taken to some unfamiliar neighborhood. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I would 34 let the leaders out of my sight.
One of the processes of growing up is being able to 35 and overcome our problems. Understanding the things that frightened 36 as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.

(B)
When I asked my daughter which item she would keep: the phone, the car, the cooker, the computer, the TV, or her boyfriend, she said “the phone”. Personally, I could do without the phone entirely（完全地）, which makes me unusual, because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology.
Point 1. The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic. My daughter comes home from school at 4:00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day. If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about?
Point 2. The mobile phone means that we are never alone. “The mobile saved my life,” says Crystal Johnstone. She had an accident in her Volvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipton. Trapped（被困） inside, she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance (救护车) to her rescue.
Point 3. The mobile removes （除去）our secrets. It allows marketing manager of Haba Deutsch, Carl Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at any time of day to ask where they are, where they are going, and how their last meeting went.
Point 4. The telephone separates us. Antonella Bramante in Rome says, “We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so near, but we didn’t meet for the first two weeks!”
Point 5. The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several complete strangers at the same time on chat lines (at least my daughter does. I wouldn’t know what to talk about). We can talk across the world. We can even talk to astronauts while they’re space-walking. And, with the phone line connected with the computer, we can access (进入) the Internet, the biggest library on Earth.
41. How do you understand “Poin1. The telephone creates the need to communicate”?
A. People don’t communicate without telephone.
B. People communicate because of the creating of the telephone.
C. People communicate more since telephone has been created.
D. People communicate more because of more traffic.
42. Which of the following best shows people’s attitude towards mobile phones?
A. Mobile phones can help to save people’s lives.
B. Mobile phones help people deal with the emergency.
C. Mobile phones bring convenience (便利)as well as few secrets to people.
D. Mobile phones are so important and should be encouraged.
43. Which points do you think support the idea that phones improve people’s life?
A. Point 3 and Point 4. B. Point 4 and Point 5.
C. Point 1 and Point 3. D. Point 2 and Point 5.
44. The best heading for the passage is__________ .
A. Influence of Phones. B. Kinds of Phones
C. How to Use Phones D. Advantage of Phones
(C)
Different weather makes people feel different. It influences (影响) health, intelligence (智力) and feelings.
In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and every cold at other times. People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.
The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, IQ (智商) of a group of students were very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% below. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August).
Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18℃, people become stronger.
Low air pressure (气压) may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days. There are a “good weather” for word and health. People feel best at a temperature of about 18 centigrade (摄氏度).
Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today? It may be the weather’s problem.
45. ____ can have a bad effect (作用) on health.
A. Hot and wet weather B. Good weather
C. Warm weather D. High intelligence
46. People may have more intelligence when _____ comes.
A. a rain B. very hot weather C. a strong wind D. low air pressure
47. Low air pressure may make people _______.
A. forgetful B. sad C. angry D. tired
48. In “good weather” of 18 centigrade, _______.
A. people are very forgetful B. people can’t do their work well
C. thin people feel cold D. people are in better health
49. The writer wants to tell us that _______.
A. hot and cold weather influences all people in the same way
B. weather influences people’s lives
C. IQ never changes during weather changes
D. There is a good kind of weather for people’s work and health
(D)
Over the last 70 years, researchers have been studying happy and unhappy people and finally found out ten factors that make a difference. Our feelings of well-being at any moment are decided to a certain degree by genes. However, of all the factors, wealth and age are the top two.
Money can buy a degree of happiness. But once you can afford to feed, clothe and house yourself, each extra dollar makes less and less difference.
Researchers find that, on average, wealthier people are happier. But the link between money and happiness is complex (复杂的). In the past half-century, the average income (平均收入) has sharply increased in developed countries, yet happiness levels have remained almost the same. Once your basic needs are met, money only seems to increase happiness if you have more than your friends, neighbors and colleagues.
“Dollars buy status (social position), and status makes people feel better,” say some experts, which helps explain why people who can seek status in other ways, scientists or actors, for example, may happily accept relatively poorly-paid jobs.
In his research, Professor Alex Michalos found that the people whose desires (欲望), not just for money, but for friends, family, job, health, rose furthest beyond what they already had, tended to be less happy than those who felt a smaller gap (差距). Indeed, the size of the gap predicted happiness about five times better than income alone. “The gap measures just blow away the measures of only income.” says Michalos.
Another factor that has to do with happiness is age. Old age may not be so bad “Given all the problems of aging, how could the elderly be more satisfied?” asks Professor Laura Carstensen. In one survey, Carstensen interviewed 184 people between the ages of 18 and 94, and asked them to fill out an emotion questionnaire (情绪问卷). She found that old people reported positive emotions just as often as young people. Some scientists suggest older people may expect life to be harder and learn to live with it, or they’re more realistic about their time running out. Older people have learned to focus on things that make them happy and let go of those that don’t.
“People realize not only what they have, but also that what they have cannot last forever,” she says. “A goodbye kiss to a husband or wife at the age of 85, for example, may bring far more complex emotional responses than a similar kiss to a boy or girl friend at the age of 20.”
50. Some actors would like to accept poorly-paid jobs because the jobs .
A. make them feel much better B. provide chances to make friends
C. improve their social position D. satisfy their professional interests
51. Professor Alex Michalos found that people feel less happy if .
A. the gap between reality and desire is bigger
B. they have a stronger desire for friendship
C. the hope for good health is much greater
D. their income is far below their expectation
52. We can infer from the passage that older people ___________.
A. would like to have more goodbye kisses than young people
B. are used to living a hard life because they are kind to others
C. express their positive opinions just as some young people do
D. find it easier to feel happy because they are more realistic
53. According to the passage, the feeling of happiness .
A. increases gradually with age B. is controlled partly by desires
C. has little to do with wealth D. is decided mostly by genes

He is a young man who seems to have brains in his feet as well as his head.
Brazilian football star Ricardo Kaka’s performances make the point well. He is one of the top scorers in the UEFA Champions League (欧洲冠军杯). Kaka helped AC Milan beat Manchester United 3-0. Kaka, in great form, scored a goal. The win took Kaka and AC Milan to the finals of the UEFA cup in 2007.
Like many Brazilian football players, Kaka is now world famous. But he is not like most Brazilian players. Most of his pals were once poor. Football made them famous and rich.
The 26-year-old Kaka is a different kind of star.
He was born in a rich family and enjoyed a comfortable early life. He joined Sao Paulo club at eight and signed as a professional(职业的)player at 15. Three years later, he was the best player in the team.
“ I plan my career(事业) by setting myself goals,” he explained. “My goals drive me, they are what I fight for.”
And his next goal is to help the poor children. “When I was with the national team, we went to play in some of the poorer areas.” He said. “You see children who don’t have enough to eat.”
Kaka believes he can do something. Since November 2004, Kaka has been an Ambassador(大使) Against Hunger for the UN World Food Program.
