She could not walk very quickly and it was difficult for her to climb stairs. She was soon out of breath.“I suppose I had better go to the doctor.” she thought. She went to the doctor and told him her problem. “Im not at all surprised.” he said, “I know what your problem is.” He examined her and then gave her some advice. “If you dont do what I say, Mrs. Parker,” he said, “You will have a heart attack (心脏病发作). It could kill you.” Ellen was very worried as she left the doctors. She knew that she had to take his advice but that it would not be easy and it would take time. The next day she went shopping. The first shop she went into was a butcher shop (肉铺). “Id like ten pounds of steak (牛排), please.”she said. “Certainly, madam.” the butcher replied and went into the cold room and found a large piece of steak. He brought the huge piece of meat back into the shop and placed it on the scale (称). “Thats just ten pounds.” he said. “Thats big enough.” Mrs. Parker said. The butcher worked out the price. “At$4.99 a pound that will be $49.90, please. Would you like me to cut it up into smaller pieces for you?” “Oh, I dont want to buy the meat.” Mrs. Parker said. “If you dont want to buy it,” the butcher replied angrily, “Why did you ask me to get it for you?” “My doctor told me that I am too heavy and have to lose ten pounds. I wanted to see what ten pounds of meat looked like.”21. Why did Ellen Parker visit the doctor?A.She had a heart attack.

But recent findings offer good news for older people and for people worried about getting older. Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of fifty. In fact, they say by the age of eighty-five, people are happier with their life than they were when they were eighteen years old. The findings came from a survey of more than three hundred forty thousand adults in the United States. The Gallup Organization questioned them by telephone in 2008. At that time, the people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty-five. The researchers asked questions about emotions like happiness, sadness and worry. They also asked about mental or emotional stress. Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five. The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties. The study also showed that men and women have similar feeling patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men. Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their feelings. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences. Professor Stone says the emotional patterns could be linked to changes in how people see the world, or maybe even changes in brain chemistry. The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age.24.According to the survey of The Gallup Organization people are most likely to become happier _.A.when they are between ages of 18 and 85B.when they come to their old ageC.when they are in their twentiesD.when they are eighteen years old25.According to Arthur Stone, old people _.A.have a positive attitude toward their lifeB.can control their behaviors betterC.dream about good things every dayD.have earned a large amount of money26.From the last paragraph we can know that _.A.you must be worried if you have young childrenB.health has nothing to do with your ageC.you can be happy even if you are still singleD.happiness depends on your family and job27.Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?A.Getting older means getting happierB.The young are happier than the oldC.The younger, the happierD.Women are easier to happy in lifeCThe African elephant, the largest land animal remaining on earth, is of great importance to African ecosystem(生态系统). Unlike other animals, the African elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment. As a big plant-eater, it largely shapes the forest-and-savanna(大草原)surroundings in which it lives, therefore setting the terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat(栖息地). It is the elephants great desire for food that makes it a disturber of the environment and an important builder of its habitat. In its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it must have every day, it kills small trees and underbushes, and pulls branches off big trees. This results in numerous open spaces in both deep tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas. In these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other plant-eaters. Take the rain forests for example. In their natural state, the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor. By pulling down trees and eating plants, elephants make open spaces, allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor. In such situations, the forests become suitable for large hoofed plant-eaters to move around and for small plant-eaters to get their food as well. What worries scientists now is that the African elephant has become an endangered species. If the elephant disappears, scientists say, many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forest and savanna, greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem.28.What is the passage mainly about?A.Disappearance of African elephants.B.Forests and savannas as habitats for African elephants.C.The effect of African elephants search for food.D.The eating habit of African elephants.29.What does the underlined phrase “setting the terms” most probably mean?A.Fixing the time.

I stayed awake listening to his breathing. He smiled in his sleep, and I wondered what could be funny to a one-year-old baby. I could sense the safety he felt. However, my home life is completely different from the scene that greets me each morning at work. As a lawyer at Eastlake Juvenile Court (少年法庭), I always see kids that society has labeled the worst of the worst, the “thief”, the “robber”, the list goes on. But they are still children. As I sit across from them, I have a chance to talk to them about their lives, their homes, and their dreams. I sit through tears, I sit through anger, but mostly I sit through hurt. I see their parents, most of whom sit in the hallways day after day wanting to take their kids home. I also see mothers and fathers that come to the court ready to walk away from their children forever. Each day I see hope destroyed.I have come to realize that these children are our future, even if we dont want to admit it. They also want to sleep on a mothers shoulder at night, they also had dreams and smiled in their sleep when they were babies. But then something terrible happened, which robbed (剥夺) them of that youth, that hope, and that joy. I hope one day we can find how to put back the destroyed childhoods and ruined lives.Every day when I go home, I hold my children tightly in my arms and say “I love you” over and over again. And as I am filled with hope, I cannot forget those children I leave behind. I live in two worlds, one of promise, one of tragedy. No matter what they are accused (指控) of, what crimes (罪行) they have carried out and what society thinks of them, they are children, they are our children and our future.32.The underlined word “labeled” in Paragraph 2 can best be replaced by _.A.praised B.chosen C.described D.designed33.Whats the authors purpose in writing the text?A.To show her deep love for her child.B.To show the difficulty of her work as a lawyer.C.To accuse those parents who ruin their childrens life.D.To win support for problem children.34.Whats the authors attitude towards the children who break laws?A.Relaxed.
