husband, michael, a manager of an ordinary company, came home from work one day saying, “its not looking good.” at midnight, i woke up seeing him sitting in a chair, his hand on his forehead. i was worried. i had to cheer him up and help ourselves financially.as an advisor for top companies and a teacher in creative thinking at the college of new jersey for years, i thought of a good plan. what if we undertake an adventure while making money from it? as a family, wed always talked about traveling more, but wed been tied to routines. now i saw no point in sitting around worrying when we could see the country. wed take our three young kids, teaching them on the road. it was the perfect time before they reached high school. wed rent out our house.michael disagreed at first but realized that with his cell phone, and computer, he could work anywhere. we listed our house for rent and created a brand strategy, logo, and website for -and persuaded five companies to support us. their ads on our site would help pay travel costs, and wed promote their brands on our trip in exchange for their support.with everything done, we took off on april 3. all spring and summer, we visited national landmarks and treasured lands. by august when we returned home, michaels company continued to slide and now may have to close down. but weve made the travel a permanent part of our lives. whats more, with a chicago-based production company ive developed the family off track brand by creating videos, educational programs and exhibits. and michael has new ideas for management businesses. its great to see the spark in his eyes again.now i feel it even more. together we taught our kids a lesson: nobody ever made history by living 100% by the book in times of recession(不景气).60. michael was in low spirits because_.a. he couldnt sleep well that nightb. his company was in financial troublec. his manager was about to fire himd. he lost interest in management businesses61. what can be inferred from paragraph 2?a. chances could come when a family was in financial trouble.b. it is impossible for poor people to spare their time for traveling.c. their childrens education would have to be stopped temporarily.d. the authors plan would benefit the family in several ways.62. what happened after the family returned from their adventure?a. they visited national landmarks and treasured lands.b. michaels company closed down as expected.c. the author founded a company in chicago.d. michael finally pulled himself together.63. the familys story is a good example to prove that_.a. travel contributes to the recovery from low spiritsb. the wife always plays an important role in the familyc. every man is the architect of his own fortuned. books do not work in financially difficult timescdear dean,it is my understanding that this college has received a large donation to be used to improve the quality of life for students: expand the bookstore or add computers to the lab. i strongly argue in favor of the addition of more computers. we have to think about a greater goal and a more practical way to enhance the quality of life for students. do we want our college to be known as a place with a great bookstore where you can find cds and gifts, or as a place where the students can research in their field using the best tools provided by technology? as a learning institution, this college has the responsibility to offer its students the best technology to help them prepare for their future, since many students will be expected to be familiar with the latest software and other tools when they go on to work. while they are in college, students find they are expected to use computers. they are asked to create powerpoint presentations and research many topics on the internet. being able to do projects using the computer also gives students the opportunity to find information that without a computer would be much more difficult to find. since students are competing for good grades, those who have limited access to computers are at a great disadvantage. if there are more new and faster computers available, students will be able to complete their work more efficiently. no more will they have to wait in line, paper and disk in hand, while scanning the room for an empty chair and computer. no longer will they have to sit and wait while an outdated computer struggles to follow their commands. the more computers are used in society, the more colleges will depend on them as a tool of teaching and learning. making computers more available to students facilitates their learning process by making it much easier and more engaging, and eventually improves their quality of life.64. the purpose of the author in writing the passage is .a. to explain why students are in great need of computersb. to tell us what benefits students can gain from computersc. to persuade the dean to purchase more advanced computersd. to describe the problems caused by lack of computers65. the author mainly wants to tell us in paragraph 4 that .a. computers are beneficial to students academic successb. computers are the only access to good grades for studentsc. students find it convenient to do homework by computersd. students wish to use more money to buy more computers66. the underlined word “facilitates” can be replaced by_.a. promotes b. transforms c. blocks d. troubles67. which of the following shows the structure of the passage? (p=paragraph)masses of floating ice are so large that they dwarf your ship, making you question whether your ship still can be spotted among such floating mountains. they are so improbable looking that you simply look in wonder. it seems that nothing that large could be natural and then it strikes you that something so large could only be natural. now, people realize that as climate change is raising global temperatures, more icebergs are being born. antarctica creates far more of them than greenland, the source of bergs in arctic waters. antarcticas icebergs are also much larger, sometimes reaching the size of small countries. recent data show the average atmospheric temperature has increased about 4.5f in the western antarctic peninsula since the 1940s, making the region, among the fastest warming on earth. this jump has been shown in the recent breaking of major ice shelves along the antarctic peninsula. as a result, thousands of new icebergs have broken off, from ice shelves into the southern ocean at an accelerated rate.even as more icebergs are being created, scientists are learning that these beauties are far from inactive masses of ice. in fact, they strikingly alter their environments biologically, chemically, and physically, making them islands of life in the open sea. depending on their size, location, and the season, icebergs can be nurturers or destroyers. during their existencetypically years from breaking off from an antarctic or greenlandic glacier to their gradual melting as they float into lower altitudes, they support animals on, around, even inside their splendid ice castle. they fertilize the ocean with nutrients, increasing sea cre
