12、y,plastic and decorated with daisies,the basket seemed so appealing and I knew I had to have it.“Mom,please can I please,please get it?Ill do extra chores for as long as you say.Ill do anything,but I need that basket.Please,Mom.Please?”“You know,”she said,gently rubbing my back while we both stared
13、at what I believed was the coolest thing ever,“If you save up,you could buy this yourself.”“By the time I make enough itll be gone!“Maybe Roger here could hold it for you,”She smiled at Roger,the bike guy.“For that long?He cant hold it for that long,Mom.Someone else will buy it.Please,Mom,please?”“T
14、here might be another choice,”she said.My mother bought the beautiful basket and put it safely out of reach in some hiding place I couldnt find.Each week I eagerly counted my growing nest egg earned by extra work here and there(washing the car,helping my mother make dinner,delivering milk around the
15、 neighborhood).And then,weeks later maybe,I counted,re-counted and jumped for joy.Oh,happy day!I made it!I finally had the exact amount wed agreed upon.Days later,the unthinkable happened.A neighborhood girl Id played with millions of times appeared with the exact same basket fixed to her shiny,new
16、bike that already had all the bells and whistles.I rode my bike fast home to tell my mother about this disaster,this horrible turn of events.And then came the lesson Ive taken with me through my life:“Honey,your basket is extra-special,”Mom said,gently wiping away my hot tears.“Your basket is specia

19、est accompanied by shortness of breath.Frightened by the thought that she was having a heart attack,Anne screamed for help.Her husband immediately rushed Anne to a nearby hospital where her pains were diagnosed(诊断)as having been caused by panic,and not a heart attack.More and more Americans nowadays
20、 are having panic attacks like the one experienced by Anne Peters.Studies discover that approximately 1.2 million adult individuals are currently suffering from severe and recurrent(重复发作)panic attacks.4There have been a lot of explanations as to the causes of panic attacks.Many claim that psychologi
21、cal stress could be a logical cause,but as yet,no evidence has been found to support this theory.Recent reports have shown there are at least three signs that indicate a person is suffering from a panic attack rather than a heart attack.The first is age.People between the ages of 20 and 30 are more
22、often victims of panic attacks.The second is sex.More women suffer from recurrent panic attacks than men.The third is the variety of symptoms.A heart attack victim often experiences only pain and shortness of breath while a panic attack victim usually suffers more symptoms than the two mentioned.It
23、is generally agreed that a panic attack does not directly endanger a persons life.All the same,it can negatively affect a persons life by making him or her so afraid of having a panic attack at a public place that he or she may refuse to leave home.Dr.Crockers advice to anyonewho thinks he is suffer
24、ing from a panic attack is to consult a doctor for a medical examination to rule out the possibilities of physical illness first.Once it has been confirmed that he or she is,in fact,suffering from a panic attack,the victim should turn to psychologists and doctors.24.What happened to Ann?A.Her heart

26、uses panic attacks.26.What is Dr.Crockers advice to victims of panic attacks?A.To have a thorough medical check.B.To rule out the possibilities of illness.C.To examine the symptoms on their own.D.To seek psychological and medical help.CIntelligent people are more likely to trust others,while those w
27、ho score lower on measures of intelligence are less likely to do so.Oxford university researchers based their findings on an analysis of the General Social Survey.The authors say one explanation could be that more intelligent individuals are better at judging characters and may spend more time build
28、ing relationships with people they can trust.Another reason could be that smarter people are better at weighing up situations and assessing whether or not the other person will keep his or her side of a bargain.“Intelligence is shown to be linked with trusting others,”said the studys lead author,Noa
29、h Carl of Oxford University.“This finding supports what other researchers have argued,namely that being a good judge of characters is a distinct part of human intelligence.”In addition,the study shows that individuals who are more trusting are also happier with their lives and have higher levels of
30、physical health.The Oxford researchers found,however,that the links between trust and health,and between trust and happiness,are not explained by intelligence.The findings confirmed that trust is a valuable resource for an individual,and is not simply a measure of intelligence.The authors say the re
31、search is significant because the study of social trust could have 5far-reaching implications for public welfare,as social trust contributes to the success of important social institutions,such as welfare systems and financial markets.According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Devel
32、opment,trust is in increasingly short supply in the current generation.This decline threatens world leadersability to handle some of todays key challenges like global warming,and the political systems.There are good reasons to think that governments should try to develop more trust in society.“Distr
33、ust usually causes friction in personal relationships,careers and politics among people,”says Stephen Covey.Although the majority of people say that trust can never be restored once its broken,Stephen feels it can be brought back.“Its not easy,and it takes time,but you do it through your behavior,no
34、t just things you say.”27.It can be concluded from the analysis of the General Social Survey that _.A.intelligent individuals spend less time on interpersonal relationshipsB.judgment of characters determines the level of intelligenceC.intelligence accounts for the connection between trust and health
35、D.intelligent people tend to show more trust in others28.What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A.make the best of a situation.B.stick to ones promise as agreed.C.figure out the true value of a bargain.D.make an assessment of a deal29.According to the research,higher level of s

38、lars into developing countries through foreign aid.Some people think that aid from developed countries to developing countries is not having the desired effect.31 .They argue that foreign aid makes developing countries lazy to develop for themselves.They also argue that a lot of these aids have cond
39、itions attached,which enables developed countries to reap(收获)from developing countries more than they sow.As a Hungarian economist once said,“Aid money is money taken from the poor in developed countries and given to the rich in developing countries.”32 .In their opinion,even though foreign aid isnt
40、 having the desired result,it is better than not providing aid at all.“Over half of the worlds population lives in less developed countries.Many of them are rather poor.33 ,”said one volunteer in Africa.They argue that most 6developing countries still need aid before they move away from dependency t

57、面短文，根据其内容写一篇 60 词左右的内容概要。Who is in control of your life?Who is pulling your strings?For the majority of us,its other people-society,colleagues,friends,or our family.We learned this way of operating when we were very young,of course.We were brainwashed.We discovered that feeling important and feeling
58、 accepted was a nice experience and so we learned to do everything we could to make other people like us.As Oscar Wilde puts it,“Most people are other people.Their thoughts are someone elses opinions,their lives a mimicry(模仿)，their passions a quotation.”When people tell us how wonderful we are,it ma
59、kes us feel good.We long for this good feeling like a drug we are addicted to it and seek it out wherever we can.Therefore,we are so eager for the approval of others that we live unhappy and limited lives,failing to do the things we really want to.Just as drug addicts and alcoholics live worsened li
60、ves to keep getting their drug,we worsen our own existence to get our own constant drug of approval.But,just as with any drug,there is a price to pay.The price of the approval drug is freedom-the freedom to be ourselves.The truth is that we cannot control what other people think.Everyone has a diffe

62、 we take back control?I think theres only one way-make a conscious decision to stop caring what other people think.We should guide ourselves by means of a set of values-not values imposed(强加)from the outside by others,but values which come from within.If we are driven by these values and not by the changing opinions and value systems of others,we will live a more authentic,effective,purposeful and happy life._
