The spaceship Shenzhou-7 blasted off on a Long March II-F carrier rocket from the JiuQuan Satellite Launch Center in the northwestern Gansu Province at 9:10 pm. after a breathtaking countdown to another milestone on Chinas space journey. Onboard pilots Zhai Zhigang, Liu Boming and Jing Haipeng are expected to orbit the earth for three days, when one of them will float out of the cabin about 343 kilometers above the earth. When they make it, China will become the third country in the world who is able to conduct extra-vehicular activity (EVA) in space following the former Soviet Union and the United States. President Hu Jintao watched the historic moment at the launch center, joined by Chinese experts and other work staff. Two taikonauts would enter the orbital module, where one would put on domestically-made spacesuit Feitian and leave the module to take back test samples loaded outside, said Zhou Jianping, chief designer of the countrys manned space project. The other would wear a Russian Orlan suit and stay in the depressurized cabin for support, said Zhou. “We wish we could fly freely in space just like Feitian on the ancient Buddhist murals, so we gave this name to the homemade spacesuit,” said Zhou. Feitian, which literally means flying in the sky, is the name of a legendary Buddhist goddess. Other tasks of the Shenzhou-7 crew include the release of a small monitoring satellite and a trial of the data relay of the satellite Tianlian-I. The taikonauts, all 42 years old, are scheduled to land in the central region of north Chinas Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in a re-entry module after their mission is completed.46. The underlined word in the second paragraph means_.A. the action of counting seconds forwards from zeroB. the action of counting seconds backwards to zeroC. the period of time just before something important happensD. something that can be counted47. They call the spacesuit Feitian because _. A. The spacesuit can help them to fly freely in the sky B. Feitian is the name of a legendary Buddhist goddess C. The spacesuit is made in Russia D. They wish they could fly freely in space just like Feitian48. The main task of the Shenzhou-7 crew is to _. A. float out of the cabin about 343 kilometers above the earth B. conduct extra-vehicular activity in space C. release a small monitoring satellite D. take back test samples loaded outside49. According to the text, we can know that_. A. China has launched two manned spacecraft with astronauts on board B. The three pilots are expected to orbit the earth for 3 daysC. The former Soviet Union and the United States can not conduct extra-vehicular activity in space D. Two taikonauts would leave the module to take back test samplesBHow many times have you heard the expression that most people spend more time planning their vacation than they do planning their lives? I would expand that expression by adding that most people spend more time “thinking” about their vacation than they do thinking about whats important in their life.While rest and relaxation are a must in living a balanced life, its not what we were created to do. After all, the Master Creator took his R&R (Rest and Recreation) on the seventh day, only after six days of “definitely directed thought.”Wallace D. Wattles, wrote “There is no labor from which most people shrink (退缩) as they do from that of sustained and consecutive thought; it is the hardest work in the world.” And yet it is the first and primary labor of achievement.My friend Mike Litman wrote an outstanding article this week. Its called “The Millionaire Composite” and it analyzes one of the big differences between super-successful people and everyone else. He writes “I recently visited a Real Estate Multi Millionaire Mogul. What did I see next to his desk? His vision statement, along with a list of what he values in life hand written.“A few months back, I interviewed an individual who has sold over a billion dollars worth of products on television. He told me that he reads his life and business vision and goals daily, and that he takes time to visualize (使看的见) exactly what he wants to create each night before falling asleep.”What is your lifes purpose or your personal mission statement? Is it written down? Do you review it and think about it often? Is your life organized around your purpose and a set of goals that support that purpose?Without purpose and goals definitely directed thought you are like the proverbial “ship without a rudder (舵).” There is power in your purpose and in your goals. It is the power that takes you over obstacles, the fuel that propels (驱使) you toward the life you envision.50. As is known to us all, _ are a necessity in living a balanced life.A. wealth and relaxationB. health and wealthC. work and restD. rest and relaxation 51. In the article The Millionaire Composite, _. A. the writers friend is a millionaireB. the permanent and continuous thought makes the writers friend shrinkC. the writers friend analyzes one of the big differences between super-successful people and everyone elseD. the writers friend advises us to think over our work all the time52. The underlined word it in paragraph 3 refers to _. A. an outstanding article B. the permanent and continuous thought C. the physical labor D. a good plan53. The writer wrote the passage mainly to tell us that _. A. we should think about our lifes purpose and personal mission often B. we had better learn how to plan our time C. we should know what the life is D. we should know how to become a successful businessmanC “Hey, little buddy, will you support me when Im getting old?” Han Wenshan, 35 years old, asked his new-born baby as he picked him up at home.The Chinese tradition of raising sons to support parents in their old age has been weakened by the rapidly growing economy and improved standard of living. As is the case with developed countries, China faces an aging society. People are living longer and having fewer children. Therefore many Chinese families are falling into a 4-2-1 family pattern: a couple raises one child and supports four elderly parents. But few realize this problem.The aging of the population is a trend that now affects a growing number of countries. Not long ago, the Information Office of the State Council, Chinas cabinet, issued a white paper on measures China is taking to help its elderly population. The paper said Chinas population entered the aging phase (阶段) at the end of the 20th century as the proportion of people aged 60 and above accounted for over 10 percent of the entire population. By the end of 2005, China had nearly 144 million people over 60, accounting for 11 percent of the population, according to the white paper.An expanding aged population inevitably means that many issues must be settled, as the problem concerns every aspect of society. It puts more pressure on each family, causing disturbing economic consequences and serious social problems. It also challenges the labor force supply and the pension system.“I used to think that its not an issue for me to provide for the aged,” said Han, whose parents and parents-in-law all enjoy pensions and medical insurance. But last year Hans father suffered a serious illness and afterward Han began to feel the pressure on his shoulders. 54. Which of the following is not caused by an aging society?A. Social problems.B. The problem of the pension system.C. More pressure on the family.D. Unemployment.55. From the passage we can infer_. A. the aging problem is one of the concerns for the Chinese government B. China will encourage young couples to have more than one child C. many people havent realized the problem of an aging society D. children will not support their parents in an aging society56. Which of the following can be used to replace the underlined word inevitably? A. surprisingly B. naturally C. hopefully D. unluckily57. From the passage we can see that _. A. China is the only country to face an aging society B. most of the developing countries face an aging society C. countries with a large population face an aging society D. more and more developed countries face an aging societyDEvery day, putting food on the table is a challenge for many Americans. They worry that they wont be able to feed their families. The slowing economy, increasing unemployment and rising food prices are contributing to the growing number of people who need help. The nations food banks are rising to the challenge. It is estimated that they are currently serving 38% more people than they were a year ago.“In Minnesota, the jobless rate is the highest its been in many years,” says Tricia Theurer of Second Harvest Heartland, a hunger-relief organization in Minnesota. “More and more people are needing to ask for help for emergency food, many for the first time, due to economic situations.”Second Harvest Heartland provides about 41.5 million pounds of food annually to 170,000 people in 59 counties in Minnesota and Western Wisconsin. The group is part of Feeding America, the nations food-bank network. Its members include 205 food banks serving every county in the United States.Hunger affects children, adults and seniors. It affects those who live in the city, in the suburbs and in rural areas. It affects those who do not have jobs and the working poor. The working poor are the fastest growing group of food-bank clients. They are employed, but simply do not have enough income to buy enough food to feed their families.Kids and adults can participate together in the fight to end hunger. The money you donate to the food bank may seem like too small an amount to make a difference, but a simple $1 donation can be used to distribute more than $9 worth of food. “Kids can be very creative in coming up with ideas of how to help others,” says Theurer. “Some kids run lemonade stands, others have asked guests to contribute food or money to Second Harvest instead of presents.”58. Why more and more people need to be helped in the USA? A. Because putting food on the table is a challenge for many Americans. B. B
