in your life that are not missing. we all know people who have a relatively 37 life, yet are essentially unhappy while people who have suffered a great deal but 38 remain happy.the first 39 is gratitude. all happy people are 40 . ungrateful people cannot be happy. we tend to think that being unhappy leads people to 41 , but its truer to say that complaining leads to people becoming unhappy.the second secret is 42 that happiness is a byproduct of something else. the most obvious 43 are those pursuit that give our lives purpose anything 44 studying insects to playing baseball. the

celebration of freedom, symbolizing an end as well as a beginning, signifying renewal as well as change for i have sworn before you and almighty god the same solemn oath our forbears (ancestors) prescribed nearly a century and three-quarters ago.the world is very different now, for man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. and yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forbears fought are still at issue around the globe, the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of god. we dare not forget today that we are the heirs（继承人）of that first revolution.let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe (enemy) alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of americans born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage and unwilling to disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage and unwilling to disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world.let every nation know whether it wishes us well or ill that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and the success of liberty. this much we pledge (promise solemny) and more.in the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. i do not shrink from this responsibility. i welcome it. i do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. the energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.and so, my fellow americans ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country. my fellow citizens of the world ask not what america will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.finally, whether you are citizens of america or citizens of the world, ask of us here the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. with a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking his blessing and his help, but knowing that here on earth gods work must truly be our own.51. what should friends and foes know?a. that the united states is powerful.b. that a new generation of americans are responsible for their government.c. that the united states is governed by liberals.d. the rights of man come from the hand of god.52. what is kennedys promise to the world? a. to support liberty. b. to abolish all forms of human poverty.c. to visit each country at least once. d. to support and friend.53. what should citizens of the world ask of america? a. how america can help them. b. if america plans to invade their country.c. what they can do for freedom. d. what they can do for america.54. which of the following statement is not true according to the passage? a. human beings have the power to put an end to all forms of poverty.b. we should remember we are the first revolution.c. our nation has always been committed to human rights.d. we should assure the survival and the success of liberty.bwhats the one word of advice a well-meaning professional would give to a recent college graduate? china! india! brazil! how about trade!when the commerce department reported last week that the trade deficit (赤字) in june approached $50 billion, it set off a new round of economic doomsaying（末日说）. imports, which increasedto $200.3 billion in the month, are subtracted in the calculation of gross domestic product. the larger the trade deficit, the smaller the gdp. should such imbalances continue, pessimists say, they could contribute to slower growth.but theres another way of looking at the trade data. over the past two years, the figures on imports and exports seem not to signal a double-dip recession a renewed decline in the broad level of economic activity in the united states but an economic expansion.the rising volume of trade more goods and services shuttling in and out of the united states is good news for many sectors. companies engaged in shipping, trucking, rail freight, delivery, and logistics (物流) have all been reporting better than expected results. the rising numbers shows growing vitality in foreign markets when we import more stuff, it puts more cash in the hands of people around the world, and u.s. exports are rising because more foreigners have the ability to buy the things we produce and market. the rising tide of trade is also good news for people who work in trade-sensitive businesses, especially those that produce commodities for which global demand sets the price agricultural goods, mining, metals, oil.and while exports always seem to lag, u.s. companies are becoming more involved in the global economy with each passing month. general motors sells as many cars in china as in america each month. while that may not do much for imports, it does help gms balance sheet and hence makes the jobs of u.s.-based executives more stable.one great challenge for the u.s. economy is slack domestic consumer demand. americans are paying down debt, saving more, and spending more carefully. thats to be expected, given what weve been through. but theres a bigger challenge. can u.s.-based businesses, large and small, figure out how to get a piece of growing global demand? unless you want to pick up and move to india, or brazil, or china, the best way to do that is through trade. it may seem obvious, but its no longer enough simply to do business with our friends and neighbors here at home.companies and individuals who dont have a strategy to export more, or to get more involved in foreign markets, or to play a role in global trade, are shutting themselves out of the lions share of economic opportunity in our world.55. how do pessimists interpret the u.s. trade deficit in june?a. it reflects americans preference for imported goods.b. it signifies a change in american economic structure.c. it is the result of americas growing focus on domestic market.d. it could lead to slower growth of the national economy.56. what does the author say about the trade data of the past two years?a. it indicates that economic activities in the u.s. have increased.b. it shows that u.s. economy is slipping further into recession.c. it signals decreasing domestic demand for goods and services.d. it reflects the fluctuations in the international market.57. who particularly benefit from the rising volume of trade?a. people who have expertise in international trade.b. consumers who favor imported goods and services.c. producers of agricultural goods and raw materials.d. retailers dealing in foreign goods and services.58. what is the authors advice to u.s. companies and individuals?a. to import more cheap goods from developing countries.b. to move their companies to where labor is cheaper.c. to increase their market share overseas. d. to be alert to fluctuations in foreign markets.ca mentoring (导师制) program is giving life changing opportunities to banbury youth.young inspirations was founded two years ago to provide mentoring sessions for students and unemployed young adults aged 11 to 21.alex goldberg, the programs founder, said; we set up young inspirations because we wanted to give young people experiences which will potentially be life changing and broaden their outlook.we try to create work experience opportunities that will really make a difference to our youth. for example, weve secured internships (实习) with world-famous firms such as honda.at a time of funding cutbacks where schools are finding it more and more difficult to offer this kind of mentoring, it is extremely important that these opportunities are available both to help youth with their school work and grades and to give them opportunities which may help shape their futures. kieran hepburn, 14, is one of a group of banbury youth who has benefited from the program so far. in october the banbury school pupil was accompanied by young inspirations staff to paris where he was an observer at the united nations educational, scientific and cultural organizations (unesco) international youth forum (论坛). the event was held for young people from around the world, to seek their views on how the future of youth and education should look. kieran joined several hundred observers mostly in their 20s and was the only uk school pupil to attend the event. kieran thinks the trip was a life changing experience. before we left i didnt quite know what to make of it but when we got there we didnt stop, it was amazing, he said, we went to three or four hours of debates each day and then did something cultural each afternoon. the main theme of the forum was how youth can drive change in political and public life. it dealt with issues (问题) such as drug abuse, violence and unemployment.kieran said: it has really helped me to improve my confidence and social skills as well as my school grades a
