15、was a boy, I used to love walking in the woods around my home. My mum warned me several times never to travel so far that I would lose sight of the house. Being a typical boy, however, I soon found myself hiking further and further away, testing just how far I could go into the woods without getting
16、 lost. After losing my way once for two hours, though, I decided that I had better leave a trail the next time I went for a walk.The very next day I decided to try it. I walked into the woods until the house was out of sight. Then I broke a small branch on a young tree to mark my place. I wandered f
17、urther in and broke another limb and then another. In a few spots where there were no limbs small enough, I snapped the heads off the low plants that were growing where the sunlight broke through the trees. After a while I finally got tired and decided to head back. Turning around I easily found my
18、tracks, but instead of being proud I felt sad. I could see the trail of destruction I had left in the woods going on and on. Looking at the broken limbs and dead flowers I wondered if God was disappointed in me and I vowed never to do that again. Instead, I started to cherish my times alone in the w
19、oods with nature. Id sit by the streams and listen to them sing. Id watch the birds and squirrels. Id bend down to smell the flowers. And I even buried an acorn or two hoping that one day an Oak might grow.There is an old Native American Saying that goes We will be known forever by the tracks we lea
20、ve. As I have grown older and wiser, I have done my best to never leave a trail of destruction in my life as I did in the woods that day. I have instead tried to leave tracks of love, kindness, goodness, and compassion and I have strived to show others that they can do the same. May you always leave
21、 tracks of joy as you follow your own trail of love.41. When the boy headed back from the woods, he felt sad because _.

23、stroy trees C. tell us how to avoid getting lost in the woods D. show us ways to get back home in the forestB Dr. Michael Prager, a leading Botox expert, said that a growing number of women are developing something called “computer face”. He also mentioned that professionals who worked long hours in
24、 front of a screen were ending up with saggy jowls（颚骨）,“turkey neck” and deep-set wrinkles on their forehead and around their eyes. The Botox expert said that, of all his clients, office workers were most likely to show premature （过早的）signs of aging. “ If you are one of the unfortunate people who fr
25、own（皱眉）while you are concentrating on the screen then, over time, you will inevitably end up with frown lines. Dr. Prager said. “What is perhaps more surprising is the number of women with saggy jowls because they are sitting in one position for so long. If you spend most of the time looking down th
26、en the neck muscles shorten and go saggy, eventually giving you a second neck.” Dr. Prager, who has a practice near Harley Street in London, said he encourages his clients to put a mirror next to their computer so they can see if they are frowning at the screen. “When people are stressed or thinking
27、 hard about something, then they will often put on a grumpy（脾气暴躁的）face without even knowing what they are doing. When my clients put a mirror next to their desk, they are often shocked by the angry, frowning face which stares back at them.” He said, “The women I am seeing at the moment have only bee
28、n using computers at work for the last decade or so. But women in their 20s have grown up with them and use them for every single task. I think the problem is going to become much, much worse. In another ten years, they could be looking quite awful.” Dr. Prager said there were several simple steps w
29、hich could avoid “computer face” such as regular screen breaks and stretching the neck muscles. And, of course, there was always Botox. He said that , after a couple of sessions of Botox, the habit of “grumpy face” could be broken.45. In what way do women develop a “computer face”? A. Frowning every
30、 now and then B. Concentrating on computers frequently C. Working for too long in front of a screen D. Sitting in the same place for along time46.

31、nd angry faces D. Second neck and stressed muscles47. Why does Dr. Prager suggest a mirror for his clients? A. To be aware of their “computer face” B. To see if they have got a second neck C.

Is investing(投资) in a c
33、ollege or university education still worth it? The short answer is “yes.” There is no doubt that college pays off financially. A wide range of statistics shows that economic advantage of a four-year college education. Over a lifetime, students who graduate from college can expect to make about 60% m
34、ore than those who do not. College graduates also tend to lead more active lives. They vote more often, volunteer more often and are more likely to own a home. Education encourages people to engage as citizens and live healthier and longer lives.But what about the benefits of college that are more d
35、ifficult to measure? They are even more significant and add up to a lot of value over the course of a lifetime.College takes students to places theyve never been before. College is a passport to different places, different times, and different ways of thinking. It gives students a chance to understa
36、nd themselves differently, seeing how their lives are both like and unlike those who lived in other ages and other lands.College introduces students to people theyve never met before.

37、th people who are different from themselves both inside and outside of the classroom.College teaches students the importance of slowing down. No one denies（否认） the value of speed, but “thinking” is a word that is too often forgotten. College teaches students to slow down, to transform information to
38、 insight and knowing to understanding. It develops critical engagement, enlightened skepticism, and an endless desire to self-educate, preparing students for a lifetime of considering information and growing in knowledge and in wisdom.In these ways and in so many others, college helps students see t
39、hemselves differently, giving them the room and license to imagine new possibilities. Yes, it opens opportunities reflected in earning and employment statistics. But, perhaps even more valuable, it opens minds and worlds in ways that cannot be measured. The value of higher education is embodied（体现）b
