When I returned home, I was different-not so outwardly sure of myself.I was happy to be home. But then I noticed
8、 that Penelope, who was _20_ with us, was wearing my clothes. And my _21_ seemed to like her better than me. I wondered if I would be _22_ if I werent there. I told my mom, and she explained that _23_ Penelope was a lovely girl, no one could _24_ me. I pointed out, “She is more patient and is neater
9、 than I have ever been.” My mom said these were wonderful _25_, but I was the only person who could fill my _26_. She made me realize that even with my _27_, - and they were many-I was a loved member of the family who couldnt be replaced.I became a searcher, _28_ who I was and what made me unique. M

Email is a useful tool but many feel controlled by this new tool. The average business person is getting about 80 emails per day and many feel that abo
15、ut 80% of the messages in their box are of little or no value.So, I have four suggestions to help you to become better at “Erasing Email”1.get off the lists. The best way to deal with a problem is to never have it. If you are receiving a lot of unwanted emails, ask to be removed from the various lis
16、ts. This would include your inclusion in unwanted lists.2. “unlisted address”. Just as you keep an unlisted telephone number that you share only with those whom you want to have direct access to , you might want to get a separate email address only for the important communications you wish to receiv
17、e.3.check it once or twice per day. Many I speak with are becoming chained to their email server, monitoring incoming email continuously. Maybe this is because email creates its own sense of urgency, but most of the communications are not all that urgent. I respond to them a couple of times per day.
18、4. deal with it. As you open each email, do one of the following:a. if it requires a quick response, respond to it and delete it.b. if it requires a response but is not the best use of your time, try to find someone else to do it.c. if it is going to take any serious amount of time to respond, sched
19、ule it for action in your day planner and then download the message, save it, or print it out for future action.I personally receive about 250 emails per day and by practising the suggestions above, I can handle that volume in about an hour, taking advantage of this fantastic tool but not being cont
20、rolled by it to make sure Im doing more important tasks in my day.36. If you get unwanted emails, the best you can do is to_.A.make a list of them B.put them into unwanted listsC. send them to a special address D. ask to be deleted from different lists37. For the important communications, the writer
21、 suggests that you _.A. have a direct access for them B. have several email servers for themC. get a separate email address for them D. get an unlisted phone number for them38. To avoid being chained by the incoming emails, what you can do is to_.A. respond urgent ones only B. reply to all of them a
22、t the same timeC.handle them a couple of times daily D. keep replying to emails all day long39. To deal with an email you get, you can do the following except_.A. responding right away if its urgent B. downloading every email before you replyC. scheduling it for later reply if it takes much timeD. a
23、sking someone else to reply to it if its not at your convenienceBIn Britain and other countries, young people sometimes take a gap year, a year off between high school and college. This idea never gained a big following in America. Recent news reports have suggested that interest may be growing , th
24、ough there are no official numbers.Charles Deacon, Dean of Admissions at Georgetown University in Washington, DC estimate that in the current first-year class of 1600 students, only about 25 decided to take a year off. He says this number hasnt changed much over the years.Mr.Deacon says the most com
25、mon reason for taking a gap year is to have a chance to travel, but he says inernational students may take a gap year to meet requirements at home for military duty.Some high school graduates see a year off as a chance to recover after twelve years of required education, but it can also give student
26、s a chance to explore their interests. Students hoping to be doctors, for example, could learn about the profession by volunteering in a hospital. ks5uMany colleges and universities support gap-year projects by permitting students to delay their admission. Experts say students can grow emotionally a
27、nd intellectually as they work at something they enjoy.The Harvard admissions office has an essay on its Web site called “Time Out or Burn Out for the Next Generation.” It praises the idea of taking time off to step back, think and enjoy gaining life experiences outside the pressure of studies. It a
28、lso notes that students are sometimes admitted to Harvard or other colleges partly because they did something unusual with that time.Of couse, a gap year is not for everyone. Students might miss their friends who go on directly to college , and parents might worry that their children will decide not
29、 to go to college once they take time off. Another concern is money. A year off, away from home, can be costly.Holly Bulls job is to specialize in helping students plan their gap year. She notes that several books have been written about this subject. She says these books along with media attention
30、and the availability of information on the Internet have increased inerest in the idea of a year off, and she points out that many gap-year programs cost far less than a year of college.40. What is the passage mainly about?A. If you want to go to an American university, take a gap year first.B. More
31、 and more American students are choosing to take a year off.C. It is likely that taking a gap year is becoming popular in America.D. Americans hold different opinions towards students taking a gap year.41. How many reasons for students taking a gap year are mentioned in passage?A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 542
32、. The esssay “time out or burn out for the next generation” suggests that_.A. every student must take a gap year before applying for a famous universityB. some famous universities encouage students to gain more life experiencesC. taking a gap year can make students free from life learning D. the str
33、ess of studies does harm to the students health ks5u43.What can we learn from the passage?A. Charles Deacon doesnt support the idea of the students taking a gap yearB. Books and media have contributed to the students inerest in school learning C. Parents might disagree with the program, concerned ab
34、out their childrens future.D. Experts agree taking a year off will benefit the students emotionally and physically.CMore surprising, perhaps, than the current difficulties of traditioanal marriage is the fact that marriage itself is alive and thriving(兴盛)。As Skolnick notes, Americans are marrying pe
35、ople-relative to Europeans, more of us marry and we marry at a younger age. Moreover, after a decline in the early 1970s, the rate of marriage in the United States is now increasing. Even the divorce rate needs to be taken in this pro-marriage context: some 80percent of divorced individuals remarry.
36、 Thus, marriage remains, by far, the preferred way of life for the vast majority of people in our society.What has changed more than marriage is the nuclear family. Twenty-five years ago, the typical American family consisted of a husband, a wife and two or three children. Now, there are many marria
37、ges in which couples have decided not to have any children. And there are many marriages where at least some of the children are from the wifes previous marriage, or the husbands, or both. Sometimes these children spend all their time with one parent from the former marriage; sometimes they are shar
38、ed between the two former spouses.Thus, one can find the very type of family arrangement. There are marriages without children; marriages with children from only the present marriage; marriages with full time children from the present marriage and part time children from former marriages. These are
39、stepfathers, stepmothers, half-brothers, and half-sisters. It is not all the unusual for a child to have four parents and eight grandparents! There are enormous changes from the traditional nuclear family. But even so, even in the midst of all this, one thing remains constant: most Americans spend m
40、ost of their adult lives married.44. By calling Americans marrying people the author means that_.A. more of Americans, as compared with Eroupeans, prefer marriage and they accept it at a younger ate.B. Americans expect more out of marriage than EuropeansC. there are more married couples in USA than
41、in EuropeD. Americans are more traditional than Europeans.45. Which of the following can be presented as the picture of todays American families?A. A typical American family consists of only a husband and a wife.B. Many types of family arrangements have become socially acceptable.C. Americans prefer
42、 to have more kids than before. D. There are no nuclear families any more.46.Even though great changes have taken place in the structure of American families_.A. the functions of marriage remain unchangedB. most Americans prefer a second marriageC. the vast majority of Americans still have faith in
43、marriageD. marriage is still enjoyed by all Americans.DTrapped on the 37th FloorMelinda Skaar wasnt expecting any phone calls. Skaar was working late in her office at the First Internet bank of California. By 10:45 that night she was almost ready to go home when the phone rang.Picking it up, she hea
44、rd a guard shouting. There is a fire! Get out of there.Skaar didnt panic. She figured that it was just a small fire. Her office building was huge. There were 62 floors and her desk was on the 37th floor.Skaar called out to office mate Stephen Oksas, who also stayed late to work. But when they got ou
45、t to the hallway, they were met by a cloud of black smoke. Rushing back, Skaar shut the door and filled the space at the bottom of the door with her jacket to keep the smoke out.Then they called 911. before they could call their families, however, the line went dead. That meant that they were comple
46、tely cut off from the outside world. All they could do was wait and hope someone would come to rescue them.Minutes ticked by. Smoke began to float into the office. Soon it became hard for them to breathe.Looking around, Skaar noticed a small workroom. It seemed to have cleaner air. So they crowed th
47、ere. That helped for a while, but in time even the workroom was filled with deadly smoke.Hopeless, they tried to break the windows, but the glass was not breakable. Everything they threw at just bounced back.Defeated, they struggled back to the workroom. They felt weak and dizzy. Soon Skaar found Ok
48、sas had passed out.Skaar and Oksas knew they were lucky to be alive. Sunday is my birthday, Skaar told a reporter. She would be turning 29. but she knew she had already got the best present possible-the gift of life.47. What did Skaar and Oksas do where were stopped by the fire?A. They called their
49、families.B. They waited where they were.C.They tried to run down the stairs.D.They rushed back and shut the door.48. The first sentence of the passage is to_.A. introduce Skaar B. get the readers attentionC. explain the cause of the event D. tell the background information49. The following helped Sk
50、aar and Oksas survive the fire except_.A. calling 911 for helpB. breaking the windows to get some fresh airC. crowding in a small workroom for clean airD. shutting the door and keeping the smoke out with a jacket50. What can we conclude from Skaars action in the fire?A. She is cleverer than Oksas.B.
51、 She was trained as a firefighter.C. She remained calm in the face of danger.D. She had had the experience of being caught in fire. ks5uESome experts feel that the automobile is to dieThey see a day in the not-too-distant future when all autos will be abandoned and allowed to become rotten iron and
