put it best when she said to her father, but, dad, you cant be healthy if youre dead.dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt- a mistake 75% of us population make every day. the big question is why.there have been many myths about safety belt ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago. the following are three of the most common.myth the number one: its best to be thrown clear of a serious accident.truth: sorry, but any accident serious enough to throw you clear is able going to be serious enough to give you a

space. the amount of space a person needs around him is a cultural(文化的) difference, not an economic(经济的) one. knowing your own psychological(心理的) space needs is important because they strongly affect your choices, including, for example, the number of bedrooms in the home. if you were brought up in a two-child family and both you and your sister or brother had your own bedrooms, the chances are if you have two children or more, that you also will offer separate bedrooms for them. in america, for example, they train people to want to have their own rooms by giving them their own rooms when they are babies. this is very unusual in the world. in many other countries, the baby sleeps in the same bed with his parents or in bed near them. the space in the home also shows a lot about psychological space needs. some families gather closer to each other and the size of their house has nothing to do with it. others have separate little corners where family members go to be alone. although it is true that psychological space needs are not decided by economic reasons, they sometimes have to be changed a little because of economic pressure（压力）. it is almost impossible, however, to completely change your psychological space needs.58. the first sentence in paragraph 1 “not everyone in the world requires the amount of space” means “_”. a. not two people need exactly the same amount of living space b. living space requirements are not always the same c. the world requires the same amount of living space d. nobody needs a required amount of living space59. which of the following is true

psychological space c. space needs in different countries d. psychological space and economic pressure 第二节（共5小题，每题2分，共10分）根据文章，从下框a-f选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项，选择中有一项为多余。athink while you are readingbselect a proper materialcfive suggestions for achieving better resultsdread loudlyeread onfuse a dictionary at a right time effective reading should adopt a correct way, and then you can get more by paying less. here are some hints for reading effectively.61dont choose a rather difficult book or a too easy one for yourself to read.a book full of new words will make you feel discouraged quickly.to understand those new words, you have to turn to the dictionary quite often.it seems that you are not reading the book but the dictionary.it has no fun at all! on the contrary, a too easy one will only waste your time and cannot do any help.the two extremes may at last make you give up reading.so its better for you to find a proper book with no more than five new words on each page.62if you come across a new word, do not look it up in a dictionary as quickly as possible.leave it alone and guess the meaning of it based on the content of the text. this ability is quite necessary in reading.if

expressive.this practice can make you communicate with the original english authors.day by day, your way of thinking in english will turn into a native way, which is quite important for english
