But just as I am about to do so I find the article on the 36 side is as much interesting. It may be a discussion of the way to 37 in good health, or 38 about how to behave and conduct oneself in society. If I cut the front essay, the opposite one is bound to 39 damage, leaving out half of it 40 keeping the text without the subject. As a result, the scissors would stay 41 they start, or halfway done when I 42 the regretful consequence that inevitably causes my repentance(后悔) Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time, 43 deserving your attention. You can only take up one of them, the other has to wait or be 44. But you know the future is unpredictablethe changed situation may not allow you to do what is 45 behind. Thus you are caught in a fix and feel sad？How come that nice opportunities and brilliant 46 should gather around all at once？It may happen that your life changes dramatically on your preference of one alternative to the other. In fact that is what 47 is like: we are often 48 with the two opposite aspects of a thing which are both 49 like newspaper cutting. It often 50 that our attention is drawn to one thing only after we are engaged in another. The 51 may be more important than the latter and give rise to a divided mind. I still remember a philosophers remarks, “When one door shuts, another 52 in life.” So a casual or passive 53 may not be a bad one. Whatever we do in our lifetime, wherever lifes storm tosses(颠簸) us, there 54 be something we can achieve, some shore we can land, that opens up new vistas to us.

The combination of leggings and baggy shirts is all too common on college campuses. Smith points out that leggings, yoga pants, and sweatpants are entirely unacceptable in public unless youre exercising. Although leggings worn as pants are a common trend among high school and college girls, they are not an appropriate choice for daywear. As a young woman, your style choice should begin to reflect your maturity level. So, get rid of leggings and wear real pants!Keep the cute factor to a minimum: Stay away from sweaters and T-shirts with smiling animals, cartoon characters, or Hello Kitty on them.

TBMost American students go to traditional public schools. There are about 88,000 public schools all over the US. Some students attend about 3000 independent public schools called charter schools.Charter schools are self-governing. Private companies operate some charter schools. They are similar in some ways to traditional public schools. They receive tax money just as other public schools do. Charter schools must prove to local or state governments that their students are learning. These governments provide the schools with the agreement called a charter that permits them to operate.Charter schools are different because they do not have to obey most laws governing traditional public schools. Local, state or federal governments cannot tell them what to teach. Each school can choose its own goals and decide the ways it wants to reach them. Class size is usually smaller than in traditional public schools.The Bush Administration strongly supports charter schools as a way to re-organize public schools that are failing to educate students. But some education agencies and unions oppose charter schools. One teachers union has just made public the results of the first national study comparing the progress of students in traditional schools and charter schools.The American Federation of Teachers criticized the governments delay in releasing the results of the study, which is called the National Assessment of Educational Progress. Union education experts say the study shows that charter school students performed worse on math and reading tests than students in regular public schools.Some experts say the study is not a fair look at charter schools because students in those schools have more problems than students in traditional schools. Other education experts say the study results should make charter school officials demand improved student progress.61If a private company wants to operate a charter school, it must .Atry new methods of teachingBprove its management abilityCobey the local and state lawsDget the governments permission62Charter schools are independent because .Athey make greater progressBtheir class size is smallerCthey enjoy more freedomDthey oppose traditional ways63Whats the governments attitude toward charter schools?ADoubtful.BSupportive.CSubjective.DOptimistic.64What can we learn from the text?AMore students choose to attend charter schools.BCharter schools are better than traditional schools.CStudents in charter schools are well educated.DPeople have different opinions about charter schools.65It can be inferred from the text that .Acharter schools are part of the public education systemBone-on-one attention should be paid to studentsCthe number of charter schools will be limitedDcharter schools are all privately financedCJust 25 years ago, the top three career hopes for young people in Britain were teacher, banker and doctor. Now, they want to be sports star, pop star and actor, according to survey by the Guardian newspaper.Rachel, a character in the popular TV show Glee, may be said to speak for British teenagers. “Nowadays being nobody is worse than being poor.” He said.Emma Brockes, a reporter with the Guardian, believes it is “the bad influence of celebrity(名人) culture” that is to blame. “When children wanted to be doctor, it wasnt because they were really more interested in the functions of human organs than they are now; you go where the respect is.” She wrote.It could explain why there has been such an increase in levels of anxiety and depression. Dr Carlo Stranger, of Tel Aviv University, studied the sense of self for his new book The Fear of Insignificance: Searching for Meaning in the 21st Century. He told the Daily Mail that young people now are “affected by the close connection to the global entertainment network, which has turned ranking and rating people according to wealth and celebrity into an obsession(痴迷).”“As humans, we naturally measure ourselves to those around us, but now we live in a global village. We are comparing ourselves with the most important people in the world and finding ourselves wanting,” he said. Today, even high achievers constantly fear that they are insignificant when they compare themselves to success stories in the media.The way out? Simply stop measuring your achievement through a fantasy of wealth and celebrity. Dr Strenger said that it is a process called “active self-acceptance through a constant search for self-knowledge through life.”“The fear of insignificance can only be overcome through strong individual and cultural identity over and above measurable achievement,” he said.66Nowadays, young people in Britain want to .Achoose jobs based on interestsBbecome famousCbe teacher, banker and doctorDearn more money67According to Emma Brockes, what causes the increasing level of anxiety?AChoices of future careers.BAccess to the global network.CBad influences of celebrities.DEndless comparison with others.68Which of the following is true of Dr Carlo Strenger?AHe is a newspaper reporter.BHe is the spokesman of teenagers.CHe tells success stories on TV.DHe is against ranking people with wealth.69Dr Carlo Strenger suggests that young people should .Aseek active self-acceptanceBstick to their own dreamsCmake great achievementsDsearch for the secret of wealth70The text is mainly written to .Atalk about job choicesBanalyse a social phenomenonCencourage celebrity cultureDintroduce three famous peopleDWHAT happens to a teenage kid when the world he thought he knew suddenly changes?
