When sitting in the doctors office waiting for surgery stressfully, I decided to treat myself for a minute and start to read about “The Little House on the Prairie”. Suddenly I felt my life seemed like a slack（懈怠）compared to the Ingalls who do all their washing and cooking but they feel so happy. Their every happiness is created from the work with their own hands. Yet Im walking around feeling sorry for myself because Im picking up the slack! So Im thinking “Work it out! Get up and get busy.” It really is true. I realize that Im happiest when accomplishing tangible(有形的) productive work-working in the yard and washing my dishes -brings me happiness. This does not surprise Kelly Lambert Ph.D. She has been researching the phenomenon she calls “effort-rewards”. When you do meaningful work with your hands, a kind of neurochemical feedback floods your brain with dopamine and serotonin. These happy brain chemicals are natural antidepressants, and weve evolved to release them both to reward ourselves for working with our hands and to motivate ourselves to do it some more. Dr. Lambert says Americans have become more depressed in recent years and at the same time weve experienced a decrease in purposeful physical activity. Did we lose something vital to our mental health when we started pushing buttons instead of ploughing the fields? Dr. Pansinski says she gets that happy look when she prepares a meal at the end of a day. “We are programmed to reward ourselves when we accomplish things with our hands. For so many people, it just feels as though everythings going so fastlife, kids, hundreds of e-mails a day. There is so little you can really see and hold on to. Working with ones hands is a way to slow down, to take pleasure in life again.”21. Before reading “The Little House On the Prairie”, the writer might think the Ingalls were _.A. unknown B. hardworking C. foolish D. unhappy22. The writer develop the first paragraph in a way of _.A. giving an example B. making a comparison C. analyzing a cause D. asking a question23. From Kelly Lambert Ph. D, we know that _.A. her “effort-rewards” is popular among American peopleB. working with our hands makes our brain tired easilyC. a decrease in physical work causes people in low mood.D. we should work with our hands instead of using machine24. From what Dr. Pansinski says, we can conclude that _.A. time and tide wait for no manB. we should lower our expectation for lifeC. its better to leave todays work to tomorrowD. we should never hurry our life too much BWe are seeking for qualified and experienced candidates to join our fast growing team for the following positions at Ratchathewi (Head Office), Pracha Uthit (site), Pantai Norasing (site), Thepharak (site), and a few other incoming projects in Bangkok.Project Managers Degree in Civil / Structural Engineering Minimum 7 years working experience in similar capacity, preferably in building construction.

Since the 1970s, scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computers. Brain-computer interface (界面) (BCI) technology could help people with disabilities sendcommands to machines. Recently, two researchers, Jose Milan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic schooling Lausanne, Switzerland, demonstrated(展示)a small robotic wheelchair directed by a persons thoughts. In the laboratory, Tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right hand. He could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts. Our brain has billions of nerve cells. These send signals through the spinal cord(脊髓)to themuscles to give us the ability to move. But spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent theseweak electrical signals from reaching the muscles, Tavella says.Our system allows disabled people to communicate with external world and also to control devices. The researchers designed a special cap for the user. This head cover picks up the signals from thescalp(头皮) and sends them to a computer. The computer interprets the signals and commands the motorized wheelchair. The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path. Theyhelp the computer react to commands from the brain. Prof. Milan, the team leader, says scientists keep improving the computer software that interprets brain signals and turns them into simple commands. The practical possibilities that BCI technologyoffers to disabled people can be grouped in two categories: communication, and controlling devices. One example is this wheelchair. He says his team has set two goals. One is testing with real patients, so as to prove that this is atechnology they can benefit from. And the other is to guarantee that they can use the technology over long periods of time.28. BCI is a technology that can _.A. help to update computer systems B. link the human brain with computersC. help the disabled to recover D. control a persons thoughts29. How did Tavella operate the wheelchair in the laboratory?A. By controlling his muscles. B. By talking to the machine.C. By moving his hand.D. By using his mind.30. The team will test with real patients to .A. make profits from themB. prove the technology useful to themC. make them live longerD. learn about their physical condition31. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Switzerland, the BCI Research CenterB. New Findings About How the Human Brain WorksC. BCI Could Mean More Freedom for the DisabledD. Robotic Vehicles Could Help to Cure Brain InjuriesD.As a young girl growing up in the 1930s, I always wanted to fly a plane, but back then it was almost unheard of for a woman to do that. I got a taste of that dream in 2001, when my husband arranged for me to ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday. But the experience turned out to be very dull. Around that time, I told my husband that I wanted to skydive. So when our retirement community announced that they were having an essay competition and the topic was an experience of a lifetime that you wanted to have, I decided to write about my dream.In the essay, I wrote about my desire to skydive, stating George Brush Sr. did it at age 80. Why not me? I was just 84 and in pretty good health. A year went by and I heard nothing. But then at a community party in late April 2009, they announced that I was one of the winners. I just couldnt believe it. Inspired by this, I decided to realize my dream, even though some of my family members and my doctor were against it.On June 11, 2009, nearly 40 of my family and friends gathered in the area close to where I would land while Iheaded up in the airplane. My instructor, Jay, guided me through the experience. The plane was the noisiest one I had ever been in, but I wasnt frightenedI was really just looking forward to the experience. When we reached 13,000 feet, Jay instructed me to throw myself out of the plane. When we first hit the air, the wind was so strong that I could hardly breathe. For a second I thought, “What have I gotten myself into?” But then everything got calmer. We were in a free fall for about a minute before Jay opened the parachute（降落伞）, then we just floated downward for about five minutes. Being up in the clouds and looking at the view below was unlike anything I have ever feltmuch better than the hot air balloon. I was just enjoying it.Skydiving was really one of the greatest experiences of my life. I hope other people will look at me and realize that you dont stop living just because you are 84 years old. If theres something you want to experience, look into it. If its something that is possible, make it happen.32. The author mentioned George Bush Sr. in her essay to.Amake her argument persuasive Bshow her admiration for himCcompare their health condition Dbuild up her own reputation33. How did the author feel immediately after she jumped out of the plane?AExcited. BRegretful. CNervous. DScared.34. What did the author enjoy most when she was skydiving?AThe beautiful clouds.BThe wonderful view.CThe company of Jay.DThe one-minute free fall.35. What is the best title of the passage?AImpossible is nothing.BA dream made come true.CAn unforgettable skydiving.DI Went Skydiving at 84!第二节（共5小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Eyes can speak Much meaning can be conveyed clearly with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak. 36 In a bus you may look at a stranger, but not for too long. And if he sensed that you are staring at him, he may feel uncomfortable.The same is true in our daily life. If you are stared at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you. 37 Eyes do speak, right?Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive. 38 If a man stares at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to look away from her, his intentions are obvious. He wishes to attract her attention and let her know that he is admiring her.However, when two persons are engaged in a conversation, the speaker will only look into the listeners eyes from time to time to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking. 39 If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking as if trying to control you, you will feel awkward. A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim. He wrongly believes that looking straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication. 40 Actually, eye contact should be made based on specific relationship and situation.A.On the contrary, it will give him away.B.Do you have such a kind of experience?C.Thats what normal eye contact is all about.D.Actually, continuous eye contact is limited to lovers only.E.After all, everybody likes to be stared at for quite a long time.F.But things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex.G.If nothing goes wrong, you will feel annoyed at being stared at that way.第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节）第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。All you will leave behind for the world to remember is your legacy（遗产）, but what legacywill you leave.I had a philosophy（哲学）professor, whose untidy appearance was highlighted（突出）by a41sport coat and poor-fitting thick glasses, which often 42on the tip of his nose. Every now and then, as most philosophy professors do, he would go off on one of those hard-to-understand “whats the meaning of 43” discussions. Many of those discussions went 44, but there were a few that really hit home（切中要害）. This was one of them.“ 45to the following questions by a 46of hands,” my professor instructed.“How many of you can tell me something about your parents” Everyones hand 47. “How many of you can tell me something about your grandparents” About three-fourths put up their hands. “How many of you can tell me something about your great-grandparents” Two out of sixty students 48their hands. “Look around the room,” he said, “In just two short generations49any of us even know 50our own great-grandparents were. Oh sure, maybe we have anold photograph in a musty（发霉的）cigar box.51maybe we know the classic fa
