simple saying hanging on their living-room wall: “life is like a field of newly fallen snow. where i choose to walk every step will show.” they didnt have to talk about it; they demonstrated this truth in their lifestyle. they understood instinctively (本能地) that honesty is an inner compass for judging your behavior. unfortunately, honesty is in short supply today and getting scarcer. but it is the real bottom line in every area of society and a discipline we must demand of ourselves.theres a story told about a surgical nurses assistance during her first day on the medical team at a well-known hospital. she was responsible for ensuring that all surgical instruments and materials were accounted for during an operation. the nurse said to the surgeon, “youve only removed 11 sponges (纱布), and we used 12. we need to find the last one.” “i removed them all,” the surgeon assured her. “well close now.” “you cant do that, sir,” protested the nurse. “think of the patient.” smiling, the surgeon lifted his foot and showed the nurse the twelfth sponge. “youll do just fine in this or any other hospital,” he assured her. when you know youre right, you cant give in. dont be afraid of those who might have a better idea or who might even be more intelligent than you are.self-respect, self-esteem and a clear conscience are powerful parts of honesty and are the basis for enriching your relationships with others. honesty means you do what you do because its right and not just fashionable or politically correct. a life of principle, of not yielding (听从的) to the tempting attractions of an easy morality, will always win the day. my grandparents taught me that. 56. according to the first paragraph, we can infer that _.a. the writers grandparents liked snowb. its hard to be honest for the writers grandparentsc. the writers grandparents were honestd. the writers grandparents didnt like chatting57. why did the nurse demand that the surgeon should take out the last sponge?a. because she thought the surgeon hid the twelfth sponge.b. because she thought she was right and she couldnt give in.c. because she thought the surgeon was a bad doctor.d. because she thought the surgeon didnt work well.58. what is not the basis for enriching your relationship with others? a. self-respect. b. pride. c. self-esteem. d. a clear conscience.59.how does the passage mainly develop?a. by providing an example to prove honesty.b. by making a comparison.c. by following the order of time. d. by following the order of importance.bboys and girls who take part in physical activity with their best friend in the neighbourhood where they live have higher levels of physical activity, new research has found. with many children not doing enough physical activity the findings could help with the uks current health care concerns.dr russ jago said, “with many young people not meeting current uk physical activity guidelines there is a need to identify new ways of making children more physically activity. our findings show that supporting physical activity among friendship groups and encouraging friends to be active together, particularly outside of school, may bring about important changes to childrens physical activity.”the research found boys who have best friends who are physically active engage in greater amounts of physical activity. girls who frequently take part in active play with their best friend achieve higher levels of physical activity than girls who do so less frequently. for 10- to 11-year-old children, engaging in physical activity with their best friend often and outside of school hours is associated with higher levels of physical activity.natasha stewart said, “this research proves the strength of buddy power simply exercising with a best friend or having a friend who is a good exercise role model increases the chance of a child keeping fit and active. we know that kids who exercise during childhood are more likely to continue these good habits as they grow up reducing their risk of heart and circulatory disease. we are currently faced with a generation of kids whose waistlines are expanding. this research shows that easy initiatives (措施) like encouraging your child to run around with their best friend could have a big impact on their health.”60. whats the passage mainly about? a. british kids have higher levels of physical activity. b. best friends can make a kid more physically active. c. a good exercise role model is popular with best friends around. c. british kids are encouraged to meet current uk physical activity guidelines.61. dr russ jago tends to think that _. a. quite a few kids dont have enough physical activity b. the more friends a kid has, the healthier he or she is c. physical activity should be concentrated on inside school d. kids arent supposed to make friends with lazy kids62. the underlined word “buddy” in the last paragraph probably means _. a. exercise b. health c. friend d. body63. whats natashas attitude toward the research? a. doubtful.b. unknown. c. supportive.d. concerned.c for those of us used to our washing machines, this might not seem like the easiest way of getting the laundry done. but student richard hewitt is hoping that to people in developing countries his pedal-powered washing machine will be a godsend (天赐).the 21-year-old, who has just completed a degree in product design at sheffield hallam university, has come up with the “spincycle”, a device which washes and dries clothes by using pedal power. the device is fitted to the back of a tricycle, which is loaded with clothes, detergent and water before being pedalled around for ten minutes. it is then drained (排水) and filled with clean water before another ten minute session of cycling completes the wash. and the same method can also be used to spin dry the clothes once they are clean.richard hit upon the idea after a recent visit to burundi in africa, where he visited a childrens orphanage. “one of the tasks i did at the orphanage was to wash around 30 loads of childrens clothes by hand,” he explained, “it was extremely time consuming and i thought that there must be an easier way than this. it set off a train of thought and i came up with the cycle idea. they use bikes a lot out there so i came up with something that could become a micro-enterprise for people. as well as saving a lot of time, energy and water, people might also be able to make a little bit of money this way.”richard added that the invention was still under development and that he had considered several other ways of making it work efficiently. “i looked at making it into a trailer for a bicycle but it made more sense to make it a complete unit,” he said, “by removing the aesthetic (美观) aspects the design could easily be simplified and made cheaper.”64. how long can the entire washing process be accomplished in the spincycle? a. less than ten minutes.b. ten minutes.c. twenty minutes.d. over twenty minutes.65. richard came across the concept of the spincycle _. a. while designing a product at universityb. after an experience of washing clothes in africa c. from the daily wash of his dirty clothesd. when riding a tricycle at the orphanage in burundi 66. the benefits of the spincycle include _. a. saving time b. saving money c. being environmental friendlyd. saving physical energy a. a, b, cb. b, c, dc. a, c, dd. a, b, c, d67. what is implied in the last paragraph? a. richard has considered some other inventions.b. the design of the spincycle needs to be improved. c. it makes more sense to place the spincycle on a bicycle.d. the spincycle does not look beautiful enough.dcoconutcoconut trees can be seen all over the tropical countries everywhere in the world. coconut trees need warm weather and produce green coconuts which are filled with a colorless coconut juice. if the coconut is fresh, inside are almost all juice and little flesh. coconut milk is white in color and is extracted from coconut. green coconuts have the size of a small ball. they have to be opened on top with a knife. dragonfruit (火龙果)dragonfruits official name is pitaya. its a kind of fruit which is very tasteful despite its outside looks. the pink colored skin is not to be eaten. cut the fruit in half and use a spoon to eat the grayish flesh. the black seeds can be eaten but they are not digestible. cempedak (小木菠萝)cempedak is a native kind of malaysian fruit. the taste of the fruit is similar to the related jackfruit (波罗密) with a hint of durian(榴莲). a sweet, mild, and juicy flesh surrounds the peanut-like seeds in a thick layer. the outer cover of the fruit is slightly sticky. cempedak can be eaten fresh. duriandurian is one of those tropical fruits you love or hate. i was told that in many parts in indonesia, malaysia and thai hotels, durian is not even allowed because of the smell. however, durian is a very popular tropical fruit in malaysia. it is known as “the king of fruit” on the basis of the fact that it has many vitamins, calcium, iron and other minerals.68. which of the following is true according to coconut?a. it can only be found in malaysia and
