lady, who is fully dressed each morning by eight oclock, even though she is nearly blind, moved to a nursing home today.her husband of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary. after many hours of waiting patiently in the hall of the nursing home, she smiled sweetly when told her room was ready.as she walked slowly to the elevator, i provided a true description of her tiny room, including the old sheets that had been hung on her window. “i love it,” she said with the happiness of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy.“mrs. jones, you havent seen the roomjust wait.” “that doesnt matter,” she replied. “happiness is something you decide ahead of time. whether i like my room or not doesnt depend on how the furniture is arranged. its how i arranged my mind. i have already decided to love it. its a decision i make every morning when i wake up. each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open ill focus on the new day and all the happy memories ive stored away.” she went on to explain, “old age is like a bank account. you take what youve put in. so, my advice to you would be to put in a lot of happiness in the bank account of memories. thank you for your part in filling my memory bank.” and with a smile, she said, “all my memories are happy ones.”mrs. jones was always happy in the nursing home and she died at the age of 108. 21. we can infer

b. cheerful c. determined d. honestbflying across the globe, whether on business or for leisure, is usually effortlessyou just have to book your ticket, pack your bags and show up at the airport with your passport. you board the plane and several cocktails and movies later, you arrive at your destination, and hopefully, your baggage does too. here are some tips on how to be a clever traveler. easy check-in avoid the queue and check yourself in by using the mas web check-in () in the comfort of your own home or office. passengers can now check in online anytime from 24 hours to 90 minutes ahead of the scheduled departure time. this is available for flights departing from all mas stationsexcept paris, kunming, xiamen and bandar seri begawanto all mas destinations. you can even select preferred seats online. bag hygiene（卫生） no, were not talking about the cleanliness of your bags! its the aviation talk for a bag that doesnt carry any old baggage tags with barcodes that could confuse the baggage sensor（传感器）. if you find yourself arriving in sydney while your bag lands in tokyo, it could be because of your old baggage tag. another reason why bags go missing could be the printing quality of the barcodes; bags are misdirected because the sensors cant read the codes correctly. less is more most airports around the world now set a weight limit of 32kg per piece of baggage. this will not only help protect the airline workers health, but also be easier for you to carry your bags around. avoid packing dangerous goods or placing valuables inside your check-in luggage. ensure that locks are properly secured as a lot of baggage locks are found caught between the conveyor belts（传送带）.smaller and softer bags are usually placed inside a tray at check-in to protect the locks from contact with the conveyor belt.25. the passage mainly tends to tell us how to travel_.a. in a fashionable wayb. in a neat and orderly wayc. in a comfortable way d. in a cheap and safe way26. from

seats when getting aboard27. what are the reasons why the baggage is often missing according to the passage? a. the bags are too old and dirty.b. the sensors cant read the barcodes correctly. c. the old tag is still on your bag.d. the bags are too heavy to check in. a. a; bb. b; dc. c; dd. b; c28. judging from the writing style of the passage, it is _. a. a piece of advertisement b. a science reportc. a passage for professional reading d. a passage from a magazinecmontreal (reuters)crossing the us-canada border to go to church on a sunday cost a us citizen 10,000 for breaking washingtons strict new security rules. the expensive trip to church was a surprise for richard albert, who lives right on the canadian border. like the other half-dozen people of township 15, crossing the border is a daily occurrence for albert. the nearby quebec village of st. pamphile is where they shop, eat and go to church.there are many such situations in these areas along the largely unguarded 5,530-mile border between canada and the us, which in some cases actually runs down the middle of streets or through buildings.as a result, albert says he did not expect any problems three weeks ago when he returned home to the us after attending church in canada, as usual. the us customs station in this area is closed on sundays, so he just drove around the locked gate, as he had done every weekend since the gate appeared last may, following a tightening of border security. two days later, albert was told to go to the customs office, where an officer told him he had been caught on camera crossing the border illegally.ottawa has given out special passes to some 300 us citizens in that area so they can enter the country when canadian customs stations are closed, but the us stopped a similar program last may. that forces the people to a 200-mile detour along hilly roads to get home through another border checkpoint.albert has requested that the customs office change their decisions on the fine, but he has not attended a sunday church since. “i feel like im living in a prison,” he said.29. we learn from the text that richard albert is_. a. a canadian working in a customs station b. a canadian living in a quebec village c. an american living in township 15 d. an american working in a canadian church30. albert was fined because he_.a. failed to obey traffic rules b. broke the american security rulesc. worked in st. pamphile without a passd. damaged the gate of the customs office31. the underlined word “detour” in paragraph 4 means _. a. a drive through the town b. a race across the fields c. a roundabout way of travelling d. a journey in the mountain area32. what would be the best title for the text?a. a cross-country trip b. a special border passc. an unguarded border d. an expensive church visitdjobs and work do much more than most of us realize to provide happiness and contentment. were all used to thinking that work provides the material things of lifethe goods and services that make possible our modern civilization. but we are much less conscious of the degree to which work provides the more important psychological well-being that can make the difference between a full and an empty life. historically, work has been associated with slavery and sin (罪恶) and punishment. and in our own day we are used to hearing traditional complaints. against this background, it may well come as a surprise to learn that not only psychologists but other behavioral scientists have come to accept the positive contribution of work to the individuals happiness and sense of personal achievement. work is more than a necessity for most human beings; it is the focus of their lives, the source of their identity and creativity. rather than a punishment or a burden, work is the opportunity to realize ones potential. and the opposite is true, too. for large numbers of people, the absence of work is harmful to their health. retirement often brings many problems surrounding the “what do i do with myself?” question, even though there may be no financial cares. large numbers of people regularly get headaches and other illnesses on weekends when they dont have their jobs to go to, and must take care of themselves. it has been observed that unemployment, quite apart from financial pressures, brings enormous psychological troubles and that many individuals conditions become worse rapidly when jobless. but why? why should work be such a significant source of human satisfaction? a good share of the answer rests in the kind of pride that is stimulated by the job, by the activity of accomplishing.33. traditionally, people are used to believing _. a. work is related to negative aspects b. happiness has nothing to do with work c. identity and creativity depend on work d. work is not only a necessity for humans but the focus of our life34. what will follow the last part if you are to continue writing? a. what the proper way to balance work and life is. b. how work brings people pride in accomplishment. c. which is more important: the material things of life or psychological well-being. d. how people overcome the problems arising from retirement.35. which best describes the authors attitude towards work in the passage? a. doubtful b. concerned c. approving d.
