He entered the 48and presented the letter to the aristocrat. But the copy he gave him had not been written out in 49 as usual. It was simply a blank sheet of paper.

Then，squinting（眯着眼看）his eyes，he said, “The light is 51.Read the letter to me.” And he promptly handed the sheet of paper to the gaoler. 52 that he could not remember a word of the letter either, the gaoler replied，“The light is indeed dim，sir.

Now, a new study that began with about 1,000 children in New Zealand has tracked how a childs low self-control can predict poor health, money troubles and even a criminal record in their adult years.Researchers have been studying this group of children for decades now. They observed the level of self-control the youngsters displayed. Parents, teachers, even the kids themselves, scored the youngsters on measures like “acting before thinking” and “Persistence in reaching goals.”The study led by Moffitt of Duke University and colleagues followed 1,000 children from birth to age 32 in Dunedin, New Zealand.“The children who had the lowest self-control when they were age three to ten, later on had the most health problems in their 30s,” Moffitt said，“and they had the worst financial situation. They were more likely to have a criminal record and to be raising a child as a single parent on a very low income.” Moffitt explained that self-control problems were widely observed, and werent just a feature of a small group of misbehaving kids.Moffitt said its still unclear why some children have better self-control than others, though she said other researchers have found that its mostly a learned behavior, with relatively little genetic influence. But good self-control can be set to run in families because children with good self-control are more likely to grow up to be healthy and prosperous parents. But the good news, Moffitt said, is that self-control can be taught by parents, and through school curricula that have been shown to be effective.56From the first two paragraphs we learn that .A. the research has been carried out for five yearsB. self-control in kids tends to determine their futureC. self-control was assessed by childrens intelligenceD. childrens self-control is almost the same at early age57Children with low self-control are more likely to .A. become wealthy in later life B. get good school performanceC. have better financial planning D. adopt negative behaviors58According to Moffitt， .A. only good genetic factors can shape their lives in the futureB. scientists know well why some children have better self-controlC. self-control in childhood has nothing to do with criminal activityD. willpower as a child really influences peoples chances of adulthood59What can be inferred from the passage?A. Self-control cannot be taught in schools.B. The study is restricted within few participants.C. Its never too late to deal with self-control problems.D. Good parenting can improve self-control and life success.60Which of the following might be the best title of the passage？A. Childs self-control predicts future health and successB. Kids are encouraged to take risks at an early ageC. Childrens development cannot be changed by teachersD. How to teach the kids a bit of self-control in schoolsB“Our aim is to take our art to the world and make people understand what it is to move,” said David Belle, the founder of parkour(跑酷).Do you love running? It is a good exercise, yet many people find it boring. But what if making your morning jog a creative one? Like jumping from walls and over gaps, and ground rolls? Just like the James Bond in the movie Casino Royale? Bond jumps down from a roof to a windowsill and then runs several blocks over obstacles on the way. It is just because of Bonds wonderful performances that the sport has become popular worldwide.Yes, thats parkour, an extreme street sport aimed at moving from one point to another as quickly as possible, getting over all the obstacles in the path using only the abilities of the human body. Parkour is considered an extreme sport. As its participants dash around a city, they may jump over fences, run up walls and even move from rooftop to rooftop. Parkour can be just as exciting and charming as it sounds, but its participants see parkour much more than that.Overcoming all the obstacles on the course and in life is part of the philosophy(理念) behind parkour. This is the same as life. You must determine your destination, go straight, jump over all the barriers as if in parkour and never fall back from them in your life, to reach the destination successfully. A parkour lover said, “I love parkour because its philosophy has become my life, my way to do everything.”Another philosophy weve learnt from parkour is freedom. It can be done by anyone, at any time, anywhere in the world. It is a kind of expression of trust in yourself that you earn energy and confidence. 61. Parkour has become popular throughout the world because of .A. its founder, David BelleB. the film, Casino RoyaleC. its risks and tricksD. the varieties of participants62. The underlined word “obstacles” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “ ”.A. streets B. objects C. barriers D. roofs63. Which of the following is true of parkour?A. It challenges human abilities.B. It is a good but boring sport.C. It needs special training.D. It is a team sport.64. As its participants move around a city, .A. they can ask for help B. they may choose to escapeC. they should run to extremes D. they must learn to survive65. Which of the following is the philosophy of parkour?A. Sports and extremes. B. Excitement and popularity.C. Dreams and success. D. Determination and freedom.CIn America, Virginia Beach has all the elements of a classic seaside resort: brilliant beaches, a lively boardwalk, plenty of restaurants and nightspots, and amusement rides sure to appeal to kids. Many believe Virginia Beach is at its best in the offseason, when the town is less crowded but the weather is still mild.Meanwhile, some safety tips should be followed, enjoying the happiness and excitement the beach offers.The number 1 safety tip concerns ocean safety: pay attention to Flag conditions posted on the lifeguard stands. Lifeguards post a red flag to warn when the ocean water is dangerous. Take them seriously! Tourists from landlocked regions are particularly easily attracted by the magic of the waves. However, a calm ocean can become risky without warning. Make sure you swim near a lifeguard. Swimming without lifeguard protection is almost five times as great as drowning at a beach with lifeguards. Never swim alone. Many drownings involve single swimmers. When you swim with someone else, if one of you has a problem, the other may be able to get help, including signaling for assistance from others.Dont fight the current. The facts show that some 80% of rescues by lifeguards at ocean beaches are caused by currents. These currents are formed by surf and gravity, because once surf pushes water up the slope of a beach, gravity pulls it back. This can create concentrated rivers of water moving offshore. If you are caught in a rip current, dont fight it by trying to swim directly to shore. Instead, swim parallel to shore until you feel the current relax, then swim to shore. Most rip currents are narrow and a short swim parallel to shore will help bring you to safety.66When coming to Virginia Beach, children CANNOT enjoy the happiness of_.A. walking on the road made of wood B. joining the nightspotsC. riding a horse or a pumper car D. surfing in the sea67Many people believe the best time to visit Virginia Beach may be _.A. after autumn school term beginning B. in the summer vacationC. during the Christmas holiday D. in the cold winter68Swimming in the sea youd better not swim _.A. with a friend B. within the sight of the lifeguardC. with the current D. as far as you like69From the passage, we can know_.A. one in five persons swimming in the sea is drownedB. if one with a lifeguard were drowning, five persons without lifeguards would be C. some 80% people drowning by the currents are rescued by lifeguardsD. some 20% people drowning by the currents are rescued by lifeguards 70The passage mainly tells us _.A. Virginia Beach has all the elements of a classic seaside resort B. the happiness and excitement the beach offersC. some safety tips when swimming in the sea D. the dangers for tourists from landlocked regions to swim in the seaD“Children should not be left unsupervised(无人监督的) to play with a dog.” say experts in this weeks British Medical Journal. Their advice is part of a review aimed at doctors who deal with dog bites.“Dog bites and maulings are a worldwide problem, particularly in children.” write Marina Morgan and John Palmer. Every year 250,000 people who have been bitten by dogs attend minor injuries and emergency units in the United Kingdom, and half of all children are reportedly bitten by dogs at some time, boys more than girls.Accurate death figures are difficult to obtain, but in the past five years, two to three cases a year have made news headlines.Based on the latest medical evidence, they advise doctors how to examine
