At first even “safety” b
19、icycles were too dangerous and improper for ladies to ride, and they had to have tricycles. My mother had (I believe) the first female tricycle in Cambridge; and I had a little one, and we used to go out for family rides, all together; my father in front on a bicycle, and my poor brother Charles sta
20、nding miserably on the bar behind my mother. I found it very hard work, pounding(轰隆隆行进) away on my hard tyres; a glorious, but not a pleasurable pastime.Then, one day at lunch, my father said he had just seen a new kind of tyre, filled up with air, and he thought it might be a success. And soon afte
21、r that everyone had bicycles, ladies and all; and bicycling became the smart thing, and the lords and ladies had their pictures in the papers, riding along in the park, in straw hats.My mother must have fallen off her bicycle pretty often, for I remember seeing the most appalling cuts and bruises(青肿
22、) on her legs. But she never complained, and always kept these accidents to herself. However, the great Mrs. Phillips, our cook, always knew all about them; as indeed she knew practically everything that ever happened. She used to draw us into the servants hall to tell us privately: “Her Ladyship ha
23、d a nasty fall yesterday; she cut both her knees and sprained her wrist. But dont let her know I told you.” So we never dared say anything. Similar little accidents used to occur when, at the age of nearly seventy, she insisted on learning to drive a car. She never mastered the art of reversing(倒车),
24、 and was in every way an unconventional and terrifying driver. Mrs. Phillips used then to tell us: “Her Ladyship ran into the back of a milk-cart yesterday; but it wasnt much hurt”; or “A policeman stopped her Ladyship because she was on the wrong side of the road; but she said she didnt know what t
25、he white line on the road meant, so he explained and let her go on.” Mrs. Phillips must have had an excellent Intelligence Service at her command, for the stories were always true enough.41.

B. she could not control the car properly. C. she did not understand the road systemD. she behaved too
29、proudlyBA popular saying goes，“Sticks and stones may break my bones，but words will never hurt me”However，thats not really trueWords have the power to build us up or tear us downIt doesnt matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves-the positive and negative effects are just as lastingWe a
30、ll talk to ourselves sometimes. Were usually too embarrassed to admit it，thoughIn fact，we really shouldnt be, because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habitThis“ self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves，remember things，solve problems，and calm ourselves downBe aw
31、are, though，that as much as 77of selftalk tends to be negativeSo in order to stay positive，we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselvesWe should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back ,The next time you finish a project，do well in a test，or finally clean your room，join me in s
32、aying“ Good job!”Often，words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effects they will haveBut we should be aware that our words cause certain responses to othersFor example，when returning an item to a store，we might use warm，friendly language during the exchangeAnd the clerk will proba
33、bly respond in a similar manner. Or harsh and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensiveWords possess power because of their lasting effectMany of us regret something we once saidAnd we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking，we should always ask ourselves：Is it tru
34、e? Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesnt pass this test，then its better left unsaidWords possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positivelyWe can offer hope，build self-esteem and motivate others to do their best. Negative wor
35、ds destroy all those thingsWill we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours46.

39、C. Because critical language may hurt your feelings.D. Because the clerk in a store is hard to deal with.CIn the early days of nuclear power, the United States make money on it. But today opponents (反对者) have so complicated its development that no nuclear plants have been ordered or built here in 12
40、 years.The greatest fear of nuclear power opponents has always been a reactor “meltdown”(熔化). Today, the chances of a meltdown that would threaten U.S. public health are very little. But to even further reduce the possibility, engineers are testing new reactors that rely not on human judgment to shu
41、t them down but on the laws of nature. Now General Electric is already building two advanced reactors in Japan. But dont expect them even on U.S. shores unless things change in Washington. The procedure for licensing nuclear power plants is a bad dream. Any time during, or even after, construction,
42、an objection by any group or individual can bring everything to a stop while the matter is investigated or taken to court. Meanwhile, the builder must add nicebutnotnecessary improvements, some of which force him to knock down walls and start over. In every case when a plant has been opposed, the Nu
43、clear Regulation Commission has ultimately granted a license to construct or operate. But the victory often costs so much that the utility ends up abandoning the plant anyway.A case in point is the Shoreham plant on New Yorks Long Island. Shoreham was a virtual twin to the Millstone plant in Connect
44、icut, both ordered in the mid-60s. Millstone, completed for 101 million, has been generating electricity for two decades. Shoreham, however, was singled out by antinuclear activists who, by sending in endless protests, drove the cost over $5 billion and delayed its use for many years.Shoreham finall
45、y won its operation license. But the plant has never produced a watt power. Governor Mario Cuomo, an opponent of a Shoreham start-up, used his power to force New Yorks public-utilities commission to accept the following settlement: the power company could pass the cost of Shoreham along to its consu
46、mers only if it agreed not to operate the plant. Today, a perfectly good facility, capable of servicing hundreds of thousands of homes, sits rusting.51. The authors attitude toward the development of nuclear power is _.A. negative B. positiveC.neutral (中立的) D. questioning 52. What has made the proce
47、dure for licensing nuclear power plants a bad dream?A. The inefficiency of the Nuclear Regulation Commission.B. The enormous cost of construction and operation.C. The objection of the opponents of nuclear power.D. The length of time it takes to make investigations.53. It can be inferred from Paragra
48、ph 2 that _.A. there are not enough safety measures in the U.S. for running new nuclear power plantsB. the American government will not allow Japanese nuclear reactors to be installed in the U.S.C. there are already more nuclear power plants than necessary in the U.S.D. it is not technical difficult
49、ies that prevent the building of nuclear power plants in the U.S.54. Governor Mario Cuomos chief intention in proposing the settlement was to _.A. stop the Shoreham plant from going into operationB. urge the power company to further increase its power supplyC. permit the Shoreham plant to operate un
50、der certain conditionsD. help the power company to solve its financial problemsDBobby Moresco grew up in New Yorks Hells Kitchen, a tough working-class neighborhood on Manhattans West Side. But Hells Kitchen lies right next door to Broadway, and the bright lights attracted Bobby from the time he was
51、 a teen. Being stage-struck was hardly what a street kid could admit to his partners. Fearing to be their laughing stock, he told no one, not even his girlfriend, when he started taking acting lessons at age 17. If you were a kid from the neighborhood, you became a cop, construction worker, longshor
52、eman or criminal. Not an actor. Moresco struggled to make that long walk a few blocks east. He studied acting, turned out for all the cattle calls(试戏通知) - and during the decade of the 1970s made a total of $2,000. I wasnt a good actor, but I had a driving need to do something different with my life,
53、 he says. He moved to Hollywood, where he drove a cab and worked as a bartender. My father said, Stop this craziness and get a job; you have a wife and daughter. But Moresco kept working at his chosen craft. Then in 1983 his younger brother Thomas was murdered in a mob-linked killing. Moresco moved
54、back to his old neighborhood and started writing as a way to explore the pain and the patrimony of Hells Kitchen. Half-Deserted Streets, based on his brothers killing, opened at a small Off-Broadway theater in 1988. A Hollywood producer saw it and asked him to work on a screenplay. His reputation gr
55、ew, and he got enough assignments to move back to Hollywood. By 2003, he was again out of work and out of cash when he got a call from Paul Haggis, a director who had befriended him. Haggis wanted help writing a film about the country after September 11. The two worked on the writing, but every stud
56、io in town turned it down. They kept pitching(推销) it. Studio executives（电影公司经理）, however, thought no one wanted to see a severe, honest vision of race and fear and lives in collision in modern America. Moresco believed so strongly in the script that he borrowed money, and sold his house. He and Hagg
57、is kept pushing. At last the writers found an independent film producer who would take a chance, but the upfront money was too little, Moresco delayed his salary. Crash slipped into the theaters in May 2005, and quietly became both a hit and a critical success. It was nominated for six Academy Award
58、s and won three - Best Picture, Best Film Editing and Best Writing (Original Screenplay) by Paul Haggis and the kid from Hells Kitchen. At age 54, Bobby Moresco became an overnight success. If you have something you want to do in life, dont think about the problems, he says, think about other ways t
59、o get it done. 55. Rearrange the following statements in terms of time order:a. His work Half-Deserted Streets drew attention as it opened at a small Off-Broadway theaterb. Unexpectedly, Crash became both a hit and a huge success. c. He moved to Hollywood to be a taxi driver and a waiter.d. He start

His younger brother Thomas was killed in conflict among bullies.A. c; d; e; a; b B. d; e; c; b; a C. d; c; e; a; b D. c; e; d; b; a 56.

66、s gratitude. In fact, there is a strong connection between a grateful attitude and a heightened sense of well-being. Appreciate all the positives in your life by starting a gratitude journal in order to remember what youre thankful for. By remembering the pleasant things in your life, you can actual
67、ly turn a negative attitude around.62.Feeling down? Instead of moping around waiting for the universe to throw you a bone, try acting like youre happyeven if you arent. A genuine smile and a forced smile will cause the same chemical reactions in your brain, so you can actually fool your mind into fe
68、eling better by making it react chemically as if things were going well. So act in an optimistic waysmile, laugh, tell a joke or reassure yourself that everything is goodeven if you dont feel it.63.People tend to think in an either-or way: If youre stuck in traffic, then everything else must be goin
69、g horribly too, says Anne Parker, a wellness counselor. By blowing negative events out of proportion, youre setting yourself up for feeling down all day. Instead, acknowledge that youre stuck in traffic, but also bring to mind something good, like the beautiful scenery outside the window, or the int

71、happiness, but they take time to achieve. By focusing on not having accomplished them yet, you will start to feel down on yourself-and may even end up throwing in the towel, causing your outlook on life to worsen. However, if you focus on the small milestones that occur along the way, you will feel
72、positive about your progress, which will give you the momentum to keep going. 65.Want to give your attitude a boost? Try making someone elses day better. A report by United Healthcare and Volunteer Match found that volunteers are 72% more likely to characterize themselves as optimistic compared with
