ages of twenty-five and thirty.”Being a little over thirty myself,I wanted to 39 with him.Nobody wants to think that he is past the age of making any 40 .The next day I went to the public library,spending several hours,and 41 to find the ages of famous people and their discoveries.Ralph was right.First I looked at some of the 42 discoveries.One of the earliest,the famous one that 43 that bodies of different weight 44 at the same speed,was made by Galileo when he was 26.Madam Curie started her research that led to a Nobel Prize when she was 28.Einstein was 26 when he 45 his world-changing theory of relativity.Well, 46 of that.Yet I wondered if those “best years”were true in other 47 .Then how about 48 ?Surely it needed the wisdom of 49 to make a good leader.Perhaps it does,but look when these people 50 their careers.Winston Churchill was elected to the House of Commons at the age of 26.Abraham Lincoln 51 the life of a country lawyer and was elected to the

University,first had a problem with taking tests when she began college.“I was always well prepared for my tests.Sometimes I studied for weeks before a test.Yet I would go in to take the test,only to find I could not answer the questions correctly.I would blank out because of nervousness and fear I couldnt think of the answers.”The young student was experiencing something called test anxiety.Because a student worries and is uneasy about a test,his or her mind does not work as well as it usually does.The students can not write or think clearly because of the great nervousness.Although poor scores are often results of poor study habits,sometimes test anxiety causes low scores.Recently test anxiety has been recognized as a real problem,not just an excuse or a false explanation of lazy students.Special university counseling（辅导）courses try to help students.In these courses,counselors try to help students by teaching them how to manage test anxiety.At some universities,students take tests to measure their anxiety.If the tests show their anxiety is high,the students can take short courses to help them deal with their nervousness.These courses teach students how to relax their bodies.By controlling their nervousness,they can let their minds work at ease and learn information which then comes out without difficulty in a test.An expert at the University of California explains,“With almost all students,relaxation is felt after taking our program.Most of them have better control during their tests.Almost all have some improvements.With some,the improvement is very great.”56.To “blank out”in the first paragraph is probably_.A.to be like a blanketB.to be sure of an answerC.to be unable to think clearlyD.to show knowledge to the teacher57.Poor scores are usually the results of_,but can also be caused by test anxiety.A.poor hygienic(保健)habitsB.lazinessC.lack of sleepD.inability to form good study habits58.To deal with the problem of anxiety,students can_.A.take a short course on anxietyB.read about anxietyC.understand their anxietyD.take tests to prove they are not anxious59.A university of California counselor said_.A.all students could overcome the anxiety after taking a special test anxiety programB.almost all students felt less nervous after taking a university of California counseling courseC.students found it difficult to improve even though they had taken a special test anxiety courseD.students found it easy to relax as soon as they entered a university of California counseling courseBIf you want

luckily62.Which of the following is the best date for wedding in UK?A.Dec.13,2003/Sat.B.Sep.5,2003/Fri.C.Jan.20,2003/Mon.D.Dec.3,2003/Mon.63.What does the last rhyme Surname suggest?A.Youd better not

that,whoever is to blame and whatever happens from now on,high unemployment is probably here to stay.This means we shall have to find ways of sharing the employment more widely.But we need to go further.We must ask some questions about the future of work.Should we continue to treat employment as the norm?Should we not rather encourage many other ways for self-respecting people to work?Should we not create conditions in which many of us can work for ourselves,rather than for an employer?Should we not aim to make the household and the neighbourhood,as well as the factory and the office,centres of production and work?The industrial age has been the only period of human history in which most peoples work has taken the form of jobs.The industrial age may now be coming to an end,and some of the changes in work patterns which it brought may have to be reversed（翻转）.This seems a discouraging thought,but,in fact,it could offer a better future for work.Universal employment,as its history shows,has not meant economic freedom.Employment became widespread when the enclosure（圈地运动）of the 17th and 18th centuries made many people dependent on paid work by depriving（剥夺）them of the use of the land,and thus of the means to provide a living for themselves.Then the factory system destroyed the cottage industries and removed work from peoples homes.Later,as transport improved,first by rail and then by road,people travelled longer distances to their places of employment until,in the end,many peoples work lost all connection with their home lives and the places in which they lived.Meanwhile,employment put women at a disadvantage.It became customary for the husband to go out to paid employment,leaving the unpaid work of the home and family to his wife.All this may now have to change.The time has certainly come to switch some effort and resources away from the impractical goal of creating jobs for all to the urgent practical task of helping many people to manage without full-time jobs.64.We know from the passage that_.A.the formal jobs were not suited to the people who were self-respectingB.a poor agricultural age would come to an endC.the effort to create jobs for all is practicalD.men will probably do the unpaid work65.The author used the enclosures of the 17th and 18th centuries to show_.A.the industrial age was much more advanced than agricultural ageB.it was one of the changing patterns of workC.the industrial age provided people a better living for themselvesD.its importance in the industrial age66.What does the passage suggest?A.We should offer women more chances to set them free from heavy housework.B.Only by sharing all the employment can we make the world believe in justice.C.As modern industry develops,people will find more chances of being employed.D.We should now reexamine our thinking and admit being employed is not the only kind of work.67.We can infer from the passage that_.A.university students will take work as jobsB.the society will offer more jobs for peopleC.the end of industrial age will be betterD.womens social position will be raisedDTaboo,in certain culture,is ban on something that is regarded for religious（宗教的）or other reasons as not to be done,touched,used,etc,or general agreement not to discuss or to do something.As the development of modern society,some questions and problems that were once taboo are now discussed openly,and,for examples,sex is no longer the taboo subject as it used to be.Perhaps the most interesting thing about taboo behavior is how it can change over the years within the same society,how certain behavior and attitudes once considered taboo can become perfectly acceptable and natural at another point in time.Topics,such as death,were also once considered so upsetting and unpleasant that it was a taboo to even talk about them.One of the newest taboos in American society is the topic of fat.Unlike many other taboos,fat is a topic that Americans talk about constantly.Its not a taboo to talk about fat;its a taboo to be fat.The “in” look is thin,not fat.In the work world,most companies prefer youthful-looking,smart salespersons to sell their image（形象）as well as their products to the public.After all,people think,how can people who care about themselves,and therefore the way they look,permit themselves to become fat?In an image-conscious society like the U.S.thin is “in”,fat is “out”.Its not surprising,then,that millions of Americans have become crazy about staying slim and “in shape”.The seeking of a youthful physical appearance is not,however,the only reason for Americans interest in diet and exercise.Recent research has shown the great importance of diet and exercise for personal health.As in most technologically developed nations,th
