24、 upon a time there was a wise man that used to go to the sea to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work. One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down at the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought tha
25、t someone would dance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up. As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasnt dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean. As he got closer he called out
26、, “Good morning! What are you doing?The young man paused, looked up and replied, “Throwing starfishes(海星)in the ocean.”“I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfishes in the ocean?”“The sun is up and the tide is going out. And if I dont throw them in theyll die.”“But, young man, dont y
27、ou realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfishes all along it. You cant possibly make a difference!”The young man listened politely. Then he bent down, picked another starfish and threw it into the sea, and said, “ It made a difference for that one.” There is something very special
28、in each and every one of us. We have all been gifted with the ability to make a difference. And if we can know that gift, we will gain through the strength of our vision the power to shape the future.We must each find our starfish. And if we throw our starfish wisely and well, the world will be bett

The underlined words “ something very special” refers to _. A. the gifts from friends B. the strength of making a de

A. the wise man realized something new and important B. the wise man thought it was foolish of the young man to throw starfishes in the ocean. C. the young man had the ability to mak

A. how and where we can write a good article B. everyone can do something for the future C. wise man is sometimes stupid D. young man is in fact wiser than old people BA recent study,
32、which was published in last weeks Journal of the American Medical Association, offers a picture of how dangerous it is to get a lift from a teenage driver. Indeed, a 16-year-old driver with three or more passengers has three times the possibility of a serious accident, compared with a teenager drivi
33、ng alone.The authors also found that the death rates for teenage drivers increased greatly after 10 p.m., and especially after midnight. With passengers in the car, the driver was even more likely to die in a late-night accident.Robert Foss, a scientist at the University of North Carolina Highway Sa
34、fety Research Center, says the higher death rates for teenage drivers have less to do with “really stupid behavior” than with just a lack of driving experience. “The basic issue is that adults who are responsible for giving out licenses fail to recognize how complex and skilled driving is.” he says.
35、Both he and the author of the study believe that the way to mitigate (使缓解) the problem is to have states set up so-called graduated licensing systems, in which getting a license is a process with several stages. A graduated license requires that a teenager first prove himself able to drive in the pr
36、esence(在场)of an adult, followed by a period of driving with night of passenger restrictions (限制) before graduating to full driving rights.Graduated licensing systems have reduced teenage driver crashes, according to recent studies. 60Which of the following situations is most dangerous according to t
37、he passage?A. Adults giving a lift to teenagers on the highway after 10 p.m.B. Adults driving with three or more teenage passengers late at night.C. A teenager driving after midnight with passengers in the car.D. A teenager getting a lift from a stranger on the highway at midnight.61According to Rob
38、ert Foss, the high death rate of teenage drivers is mainly due to _.A. their frequent driving at night B. their lack of driving experienceC. their wrong way of driving D. their driving with passengers62According to Paragraph 3, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Teenagers should spend more
39、 time learning to drive.B. Driving is a skill too complex for teenagers to learn. C. Restrictions should be forced on teenagers demanding to take driving licenses. D. The licensing department is partly responsible for teenagers driving accidents.63A suggested measure to be taken to reduce teenagers
40、driving accidents is that _.A. driving in the presence of an adult should be made a ruleB. they should be forbidden to take on passengersC. they should not be allowed to drive after 10 pmD. the licensing system should be improvedCShift Happens by Robert HoldenPrice: $ 6.49Its an excellent book that

If you want to buy two copies of Balancing Work & Life and one copy of Happiness Now online, how much would you have to pay?A. $29 B. $23.20 C. $26.50 D. $22.40 DIn our culture, the sources of what we call a sense of “mastery” feeling importan
48、t and worthwhile and the sources of what we call a sense of “pleasure” finding life enjoyable are not always the same. Women often are told “You cant have it all.” Sometimes what the speaker really is saying is: “You choose a career, so you cant expect to have closer relationships or a happy family
49、life.” or “You have a wonderful husband and children whats all this about wanting a career?” But women need to understand and develop both aspects of well-being, if they are to feel good about themselves.Our study shows that, for women, well-being has two aspects. One is mastery, which includes self
50、-respect, a sense of control over your life, and low levels of anxiety and depression. Mastery is closely related to the “doing” side of life, to work and activity. Pleasure is the other aspect, and it is made up of happiness, satisfaction and optimism. It is tied more closely to the “feeling” side
51、of life. The two are independent of each other. A woman could be high in mastery and low in pleasure, and vice versa（反之亦然）. For example, a woman who has a good job, but whose mother has just died, might be feeling very good about herself and in control of her work life, but the pleasure side could b
52、e damaged for a time.The concepts of mastery and pleasure can help us identify the sources of well-being for women, and correct past mistakes. In the past, women were encouraged to look only at the feeling side of life as the source of all well-being. But we know that both mastery and pleasure are i
53、mportant. And mastery seems to be achieved largely through work. In our study, all the groups of employed women were valued significantly higher in mastery than women who were not employed.A womans well-being is developed when she takes on multiple roles. At least by middle adulthood, the women who
54、were involved in a combination of roles marriages, motherhood, and employment were the highest in well-being, in spite of warnings about stress and strain.67. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that _.A. for women, a sense of “mastery” is more important than a sense of “pleasure”B. for wome
55、n, a sense of “pleasure” is more important than a sense of “mastery”C. women cant have a sense of “mastery” and a sense of “pleasure” at the same timeD. a sense of “mastery” and a sense of “pleasure” are both necessary to women68. The authors attitude towards women having a career is_.A. negativeB.
56、positiveC. uninterestedD. realistic69. One can conclude from the passage that if a woman takes on several social roles, _.A. it will be easier for her to overcome stress and strainB. she will be more successful in her careerC. her chances of getting promoted will be greaterD. her life will be richer
57、 and more meaningful70. Which of the following can be considered as a source of “pleasure” for women?A. Family lifeB. Multiple roles in societyC. Regular employmentD.
