See this? “C” means “courage”. Theres a seed in everyones heart. As long
27、 as you really keep watering it, it will grow and harvest. Courage gives us the power to follow our dreams. Believe in yourself and be prepared for anything in the future.“O” stands for “optimism”. When in trouble, some people feel disappointed but some people still keep their dreams. Be sure to cho
28、ose the latter. Life is very much like a mirror. If you smile on it, it smiles back on you. If you frown, you will get a similar look in return. Throw away the sadness in your heart while filling it with brightness and hope.“K” can be understood as “knowledge”. In order to keep up with the times, we
29、 should use knowledge to enrich ourselves. Knowledge is the food of thought and, as long as it is put in our brain, we will grow wiser.“E” is short for “enthusiasm (热情)”. Enthusiasm is the sign of youth. We use colorful paint-brushes in our hands to create the pictures of youth on our own. Let the s
30、ky and sea know were young. Let out our enthusiasm wherever we go.Drink a can of COKE. You will find your youth as refreshing (有活力的) as a can of coke. Enjoy and value your youth.56.

It seems that beaut
33、y and women are twins. You are joking? No, I am not. Observe for yourself. Ads on fashion flood TV screens, radio programs, magazines, newspapers, and the streets. Whether they have realized or not, women are besieged by a sea of fashion. They are taught to think that without beautiful clothes they
34、will grow old and lose their charm. So who dares to neglect (give little attention) dressing up at the cost of their appearance and youth?But I do not agree with the opinion that women have to show their beauty through their looks. The richness of their mind proves to be more beautiful and attractiv
35、e than their looks. A woman who has experienced many troubles and may be called “aunt” or “granny” can still maintain (continue) her beauty if she has such excellent qualities as knowledge, ability, a kind heart, great courage, concern for others, etc. In addition, old and young, beautiful and ugly
36、are relative concepts. People who keep a young mind will never feel old. Curious about new things and eager to learn more, they keep up with the tide. Plainly dressed women may have a type of beauty, which is pure and real. Reading and learning are the best way to keep one youthful. Good books are f

A woman who may be called “aunt” is no longer beautiful.D. Its not necessary for women to show their beauty through their beaut
41、iful clothes.CNowadays many students are interested in studying abroad. Attending schools abroad has many advantages. First, by looking at our own country from outside, we can best see the strong points and weak points of our nation and therefore widen our vision and broaden our minds. Second, while
42、 studying in a foreign country, we can travel widely, visiting famous scenic spots and making friends with the local people. Third, we can use the foreign language in our daily life so that our ability in that language may be improved quickly. But the most important is to learn advanced science and
43、technology. For all these advantages, it is really worthwhile to go abroad for education. However, as everything has two sides, there are also some disadvantages in attending a foreign university. The most serious problem is the language barrier (障碍). Most of the students who are ready to go abroad
44、do not prepare themselves well for the new language environment. As a result, on arriving there, they will find it difficult to understand what the instructors are saying in class. Besides, for not knowing about the customs and way of life of the local people, they may run into trouble in dealing wi
45、th various situations. Therefore, misunderstandings often arise. Furthermore, the cost of living is much higher than that in our country, so most students have to find part-time jobs in order to help support themselves. Faced with these difficulties, many students find themselves unable to pay full
46、attention to their studies and some students may even fail in their courses and learn little. Therefore, given an opportunity to attend a school abroad, one must consider the factors carefully before making up his mind. On the one hand, it is a good thing to go and study abroad. But on the other han
47、d, one must not neglect (忽视) the disadvantages.64. The following are all advantages of studying abroad EXCEPT _.A. having more chances to get good jobsB. improving foreign language ability quicklyC. visiting well-known scenic spots D. learning advanced science and technology 65. The underlined word
48、“instructors” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _.A. neighbors B. tutors C. strangers D. classmates66. Why do some students find part-time jobs?A. Because they want to learn more skills in a different country.B. Because they want to make full use of their spare time. C. Because they are not in
49、terested in studying.D. Because they have to support themselves.67. The passage mainly tells us that _.A. studying abroad is a good way to learn advanced science and technology B. everything has two sidesC. people should think twice before going abroadD. going abroad has more advantages than disadva

66、 present, Internet Slang, such as BH,MS, has become popular among the teenagers. There are different opinions on Internet Slang. Some students think Internet Slang is vivid, fashionable and full of humor and intelligence. Besides, it makes chatting on the Internet quicker.However, some other student
67、s think Internet Slang lacks depth of thought and is too simple. Besides, it is hard to understand and not accepted by most people. Even worse, the words sometimes might make people confused, even resulting in misunderstanding.Every coin has its two sides. In my opinion, living in the Information Age, if we dont know Internet Slang, we seem to fall behind. It will be OK as long as these terms are used correctly in proper situations.
