danced in the treetops, and childrens laughter filled the park. the smell of popcorn played on the breeze, and life seemed good. it was one of the happiest saturday mornings i had spent with my little daughter, gigi.that was, until two strangers threw her into their car and sped away. it seemed like a bad dream. i could barely whisper when the police questioned me. for hours we waited, but there wasnt any news. “go home, maam,” the police officer said. “well monitor your telephone. trust me, well find her.” after what had just happened, it was hard for me to trust anything.my friend gloria came over that afternoon. “i heard about gigi on the radio. everyone is looking for the car. the interstates are all blocked.” she took my hand and said, “look here. i want you to have this picture and pray with me.”it was a picture of a little girl sound asleep in her bed. standing by the bed was a tall, blond angel. his hand was touching the girls shoulder as he smiled down at her.“im too exhausted for any hocus-pocus right now, gloria! i want my daughter home!” i screamed, and then began sobbing. gloria placed the photo on our desk and knelt down beside me. “just pray with me,” she said, holding my hand.i had no strength left, so we prayed and waited what seemed an eternity. but the phone never rang.suddenly, the front door swung open. there stood gigi. “gigi! thank god!” i cried, throwing my arms around her, “where did those men take you? how did you get home? did the police find you?” “no mommy!” said gigi. “i was really scared because those men said they were taking me far away. we were going really fast. but then a tall man walked out in front of the car, and they ran off the road and hit a tree.” then the tall man ran up and opened the car door and pulled me out. he was really nice, and said i would be okay now. he must have brought me home because then i woke up here in front of our house.”“but who. how did he know. where to bring you?” my voice broke and trailed to a whisper. “i dont know, mommy,” gigi said. just then gigi noticed glorias picture on the desk. “thats him!” she gave a loud cry, pointing at the picture. “thats him! except he didnt have wings, and he was wearing blue jeans and a t-shirt. but thats him exactly. id remember him anywhere!”later that night, the police found the injured kidnappers. when questioned, the driver remembered making a sharp turn to avoid hitting a tall blond man.twenty years have gone by. nobody claims to have rescued gigi and there have been no logical explanations for gigis miraculous escape.there have always been things that people cant explain. but, from that day forward, i believe that all experiences, positive and negative, are given to us for our strengthening and learning. gigi keeps glorias picture on her desk, and she remembers her angelic friend. and, like my daughter, i have a faith that has carried me through many trials since that day many years ago.51. the writer describes a happy scene at the beginning of the passage to _.a. introduce a topicb. attract readers attention c. show the beauty of natured. make a sharp contrast52. what is the writers attitude towards the pray together with gloria?a. curiousb. gratefulc. doubtfuld. causal53. the main reason why the kidnappers could be arrested was that _.a. the police followed and caught themb. glorias best friend helped the police to find themc. an angel spotted them and took them to the police stationd. they had an accident when a tall man tried to stop their car54. what can be best title for the passage?a. picture of an angleb. power of godc. gigis escaped. mommys anxiety.bone morning a few years ago, harvard president neil rudenstine overslept. for this busy man, it was a sort of alarm after years of non-stop hard work, he might wear himself out and die an early death.only after a weeks leave during which he read novels, listened to music and walked with his wife on a beach was rudenstine able to return to work.in our modern life, we have lost the rhythm between action and rest. amazingly, within this world there is a universal but silly saying “i am so busy.”we say this to one another as if our tireless efforts were a talent by nature and an ability to successfully deal with stress. the busier we are, the more important we seem to ourselves and, we imagine, to others. to be unavailable to our friends and family, and to be unable to find time to relax this has become the model of a successful life.because we do not rest, we lose our way. we miss the guide telling us where to go, the food providing us with strength, the quiet giving us wisdom.how have we allowed this to happen? i believe it is this we have forgotten the sabbath, the day of the week for followers of some religions for rest and praying. it is a day when we are not supposed to work, a time when we devote ourselves to enjoying and celebrating what is beautiful. it is a good time to bless our children and loved ones, give thanks, share meals, walk and sleep. it is a time for us to take a rest, to put our work aside, trusting that there are larger forces at work taking care of the world.rest is a spiritual and biological need; however, in our strong ambition to be successful and care for our many responsibilities, we may feel terribly guilty when we take time to rest. the sabbath gives us permission to stop work. in fact, “remember the sabbath” is more than simply permission to rest; it is a rule to obey and a principle to follow.55. the “alarm” in the first paragraph refers to “_”.a. a signal of stressb. a warning of dangerc. a sign of aged. a spread of disease56. according to paragraph 4, a successful person is one who is believed to _.a. be able to work without stressb. be more talented than other peoplec. be more important than anyone else d. be busying working without time to rest57. some people feel guilty when taking time to rest because they _.a. think that taking a rest means lacking ambitions b. fail to realize that rest is an essential part of lifec. fail to realize that religions force them to rest d. think that taking a rest means being lazy.58. what is the main idea of this passage?a. we should balance work with rest.b. the sabbath gives us permission to rest.c. it is silly for anyone to say “i am busy.”d. we should be available to our family and friends.c the simple exercise of sitting down and standing up again without holding onto anything, could suggest how long you have to live. this is the belief of a group of physicians, who came up with the sitting-rising test to measure their patients flexibility and strength. they developed a scoring system for the test and found that people who scored three points or less out of 10, were more than five times as likely to die within six years, as those who scored more than eight points.claudio gil araujo, of gama filho university in rio de janeiro, brazil, was among the doctors who originally developed the sitting rising test (srt) to quickly assess the flexibility of athletes, but he now uses it to persuade his patients that they need to stay active to maintain their muscle and balance, and live longer, discover magazine reported. as we age, our muscles tend to become weaker and a loss of balance means we are increasingly likely to fall. current ways to test frailty can be time-consuming, impractical and inaccurate for small doctors surgeries, but experts are keen to keep older people moving. dr araujo says that anyone can take the srt because no equipment is needed. in a study, published in the european journal of cardiology, the researchers described how 2002 adults aged between 51 and 80 took the srt at clinimex exercise medicine clinic in rio. they found that patients who scored fewer than eight points out of 10 on the test, were twice as likely to die within the next six years, compared with people with more perfect scores. one point was deducted each time a person used their hand or knee for support to either sit down or stand up, while half a point was deducted for losing their balance. the experts found that people who scored three points or fewer, were more than five times as likely to die within the same period. they wrote in the study musculoskeletal fitness, as assessed by srt, was a significant predictor of mortality in 5180-year-old subjects. the study found that every point increase in the test, was linked to a 21 per cent decrease in mortality from all causes. however, chartered physio-therapist sammy margo said that the exercise may be “quite ambitious” for older people in the uk. 59. the sitting-rising test was first designed _. a. to suggest how long you have to live. b. to assess the flexibility of athletes. c. to measure their patients flexibility and strength. d. to persuade his patients that they need to stay active to maintain their muscle and balance.60. what does the underlined word “mortality” probably mean in this passage?a. body balanceb. muscle strengthc. flexibilityd. length of ones life 61. what would the author most likely to talk about in the following paragraph? a. the reason why the test may not be accurate to british older people.b. another test that is more appropriate in some other cultures.c. the different test results among old men and women.d. the limitation and disadvantage of the sitting-rising test.62. which part of the newspaper will the article probably come from?a. exercise & sportsb. educationc. entertainmentd. healthdi dont ever want to talk about being a woman scientist again. there was a time in my life when people asked constantly for stories about what its like to work in a field dominated by men. i was never very good at telling those stories because truthfully i never found them interesting. what i do find interesting is the origin of the universe, the shape of space-time and the nature of black holes.at 19, when i began studying astrophysi
