tobacco products At a White House signing ceremony Monday Obama said that he was among the nearly 90 of smokers who took up the habit before their 18 th birthday Obama who has publicly struggled to give up smoking said he still hadn t completely kicked the habit Every now and then he still smokes in secret As a former smoker I struggle with it all the time Do I still smoke sometimes Yes Am I a daily smoker a constant smoker No Obama said at a news conference I don t do it in front of my lads I don t do it in front of my family I would say that I am 95 cured but there are times when I mess up he said Once you go down this path it s something you continually struggle with which is exactly why the law is so important The new law is not about me it s about the next generation of kids coming up What we don t want is kids going down that path he said Nearly 20 of Americans smoke and tobacco use kills about 440 000 people a year in the United States due to cancer heart disease and

officials C his family D businessmen B Thanks a Million Dad I was born disabled A difficult birth feet first my head stuck By my first birthday I couldn t stand or walk When I was three the doctor told dad I had cerebral palsy 脑瘫 A loss of oxygen to my brain had destroyed brain signals to the right side of my body But no son of my dad s was going to be disabled Every morning before breakfast and every evening before bed my dad placed me on the bedroom floor to exercise my right leg The muscles were shrunk and twisted together Back and forth up and down my dad pushed and pulled the muscles into shape But my dad s exercise of passion didn t stop there For my 13th birthday he threw me a special party When everybody was gone he brought me to open a large box it was a set of boxing gloves We put them on My dad kept on beating me mercilessly Each time I tried to get up leather kissed my nose eyes and jaw I begged him to stop He said he beat me to get me ready for the tough world That same year I was the only kid in my neighborhood that wasn t picked for Little League Two weeks later Dad started the Shedd Park Minor League and every kid played Dad coached us and made me a pitcher 棒球投手 The power of my dad s love guaranteed I walked and more In high school I became a football star In 1997 a brain surgeon in San Jose told me I didn t t have cerebral palsy after all He explained how and where the doctor s forceps 镊子 at birth had damaged my brain My dad never knew the whole truth since he passed away years ago But all that counts is the bottom line After all his madness on this Father s Day like every Father s Day I m no longer disabled 59 What caused the author s disability A A failed operation B The doctor s forceps C An accident in a game D Shrunken and twisted muscles 60 What do we learn from the passage A The author has a talent for boxing B The author achieved a lot thanks to his father s love C The author became a baseball star with the help of his father D The author doesn t think his father should be so strict with him 61 Paragraph 3 suggests that the author s father A wouldn t give up hope easily B believed his son was a normal child C blamed the doctors for his son s disability D couldn t accept the truth that his son was disabled 62 The author wrote the passage to A remember his father B encourage disabled children 无锡心理培训无锡心理培训 无锡育婴师培训无锡育婴师培训 6 C show the difficulty the disabled face D give advice to the parents of disabled children C I live in the land of Disney Hollywood and year round sun You may think People n such an attractive fun filled place are happier than others If so you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness Many intelligent people still think fun equals happiness The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common Fun is what we experience during an act Happiness is what we experience after an act It is a deep long lasting emotion Going to an amusement park or a ball game watching a movie or television are fun activities that help us relax temporally forget our problems and maybe even laugh But they do not bring happiness because their positive effects end when the fun ends I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with fun They have constant access to exciting parties fancy cars expensive homes everything that spells happiness But in memoir 回忆录 after memoir they expose Ac unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun depression alcoholism drug addiction broken marriages and loneliness Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment For commitment is in fact quite painful The single life is filled with fun adventure and excitement Marriage has such moments but they are not its most distinguishing features Similarly couples that choose not to have children are deciding in favor of painless fun over painful happiness They can dine out whenever they want and sleep as late as they want Couples with babies are lucky to get a whole night s sleep I don t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations we can ever come to It liberates time now we can devote more hours to activities that can truly increase our happiness It liberates money buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless And it frees us from envy we now understand that all those rich and famous people we were so sure are happy because they are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all 63 What is the passage mainly about A Fun and happiness B Success and satisfaction C Marriage and commitment D Entertainment and responsibility 64 The author probably agrees that A fun creates long lasting satisfaction B long standing fun may lead to happiness C fun is short lived while happiness is long lasting D fun provides enjoyment while pain leads to happiness 65 What does the author think of marriage A It ends in pain B It means commitment C It affords greater fun D It leads to raising children 66 If one gets the real meaning of happiness he A will start a business B won t place too much value on money 无锡心理培训无锡心理培训 无锡育婴师培训无锡育婴师培训 7 C will seek for freedom D won t devote himself to his family D Time and how we experience it have always puzzled us Physicists have created fascinating theories but their time is measured by a pendulum 钟摆 and is not psychological time which leaps with little regard to the clock or calendar As some one who understood the distinction observed When you sit with a nice girl for two hours it seems like a minute but when you sit on a hot stove a minute seems like two hours Psychologists have long noticed that larger units of time such as months and years fly on swifter wings as we age They also note that the more time is structured with schedules and appointments the more rapidly it seems to pass For example a day at the office flies compared with a day at the beach Since most of us spend fewer days at the beach and more at the office as we age an increase in structured tune could well be to blame for why time seems to speed up as we grow older Expectation and familiarity also make time seem to flow more rapidly Almost all of us have had the experience of driving somewhere we ve never been before Surrounded by unfamiliar scenery with no real idea of when we ll arrive we experience the trip as lasting a long time But the return trip although exactly as long seems to take far less time The novelty of the outward journey has become routine Thus taking a different route on occasions can often help slow the clock When was become as identical as identical as beads 小珠子 on a string they mix together and even months become a single day To counter this try to find ways to interrupt the structure of your day to stop time so to speak Learning something new is one of the ways to slow the passage of time One of the reasons the days of our youth seems so full and long is that these are the days of learning and discovery For many of us learning ends when we leave school but this doesn t have to be 67 The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 is used to show A psychological time is quite puzzling B time should not be measured by a pendulum C physical time is different from psychological time D physical theory has nothing to do with the true sense of time 68 Why do units of time fly faster as we grow older A Our sense of time changes B We spend less time at the beach C More time is structured and scheduled D Time is structured with too many appointments 69 In Paragraph 3 novelty probably means A excitement B unfamiliarity C imagination D amusement 70 The purpose of the passage is to A give various explanations about time B describe how we experience time psychologically C show the different ideas of physicists and psychologists on time D explain why time flies and how to slow it down psychologically 第二节 共 5 小题 每小题 2 分 共 10 分 根据短文内容 从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项 选项中有两项为 多余选项 无锡心理培训无锡心理培训 无锡育婴师培训无锡育婴师培训 8 A 7 0 magnitude 级 earthquake killed more than 230 000 people in Haiti Then an 8 8 magnitude quake killed more than 900 people in Chile And few weeks later a 6 0 magnitude quake struck rural eastern Turkey killing at least 57 people The earthquakes kept coming hard and fast 71 It s not The problem is what s happening above ground not underground experts say 72 They re rapidly putting up buildings that can t stand up to earth quakes scientists believer And news reports and better earthquake monitoring make it seem as if earth quakes are increasing all the time On average there are 134 earthquakes a year that have a magnitude between 6 0 and 6 9 So far this year there have been 40 earthquakes more than in most years for that time period But that s because the 8 8 quake in Chile caused a large number of strong aftershocks Also it s not the number of quakes but their destructive effects that gain attention The death is largely due to building standards 73 Paul Earle a US seismologist called f
