week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. he came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. he was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport（护照）. he reported the case to the police and then sat there, lost and lonely in strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one. late in the evening, the phone rang. it was a stranger. he was trying to pronounce my husbands name and was asking him a lot of questions. then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can（垃圾桶）that had been left out on the footpath. my husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. at last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend. that family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people. we still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish to their way. 21.what did rashid plan to do after his arrival in sydney?a.go shoppingb.find a housec.join his familyd.take his family22.the girls parents got rashids phone number from_.a.a friend of his familyb.a sydney policemanc.a letter in his papersd.a stranger in sydney23.what does the underlined word “restored” in the last paragraph mean?a.showedb.deliveredc.sent outd.gave back24.which of the following can be the best title for the text?a.from india to australia.b.turning trash to treasure.c.living in a new country.d.in search of new friends.bself-confidence is an attitude which allows individuals to have positive yet realistic views of themselves and their situations. self-confident people trust their own abilities, have a general sense of control in their lives, and believe that，within reason, they will be able to do what they wish, plan, and expect. having self-confidence does not mean that individuals will be able to do everything. self-confident people have expectations that are realistic.even when some of their expectations are not met，they continue to be positive and to accept themselves. people who are not self-confident depend too much on the approval of others in order to feel good about themselves. they tend to avoid taking risks because they fear failure. they generally do not expect to be successful. they often put themselves down and tend to ignore compliments（赞美）paid to them by contrast，self-confident people are willing to risk the disapproval of others because they generally trust their own abilities. they tend to accept themselves；they dont feel they have to conform in order to be accepted. many factors affect the development of self-confidence. parents attitudes are crucial(关键性的) to childrens feelings about themselves，particularly in childrens early years. when parents provide acceptance, children receive a solid foundation for good feelings about themselves. if one or both parents are much to critical or demanding, or if they are overprotective and discourage childrens moves toward independence, children may come to believe they are unqualified or inadequate. surprisingly, lack of self-confidence is not necessarily related to lack of ability. instead it is often the result of focusing too much on the unrealistic expectations or standards of others，especially parents and society. friends influences can be as powerful or more powerful than those of parents and society in shaping feelings of ones self. students in their college years reexamine values and develop their own identities and thus are particularly sensitive to the influence of friends. 25.paragraph 1 mainly talks about_.a.the sources of self-confidenceb.the lack of self-confidencec.the development of self-confidenced.the benefits of self-confidence26.according to the passage, self-confident people tend to_.a.depend on othersb.control othersc.avoid risksd.be practical27.which of the following can we learn about self-confidence according to the passage?a.self-confidence is usually the symbol of special abilities.b.parents protection prevents childrens self-confidence development.c.parents and friends matter in building ones self-confidence.d.college students are the least self-confident group in society.28.what might the author most probably continue to talk about in the following passage?a.what one should avoid in building self-confidence.b.lack of self-confident has many side effects.c.what self-confident children usually get from parents.d.how we can become more acceptable.cmetro pocket guide metrorail( 地铁) each passenger needs a farecard to enter and go out. up to two

vanderbilt university in tennessee. researchers raised baby mice from birth to weaning (断奶) in either “summer” light cycles of 16 hours of light and 8 hours of dark or “winter” cycles of 8 hours of light and 16 hours of dark. a third group experienced 12 hours of light and 12 hours of dark a day. then half the winter mice stayed in a winter cycle, while half switched to a summer schedule. the summer mice were similarly split. the mice raised in equal periods of light and dark were split into three groups, one of which stayed on the 12hour schedule, one of which joined the winter group, and one of which joined the summer group. after 28 days, it turns out the summerborn mice behaved the same whether they stayed on the summer cycle or switched to winter. but among the winterborn mice, those stayed in winter kept their previous schedule, while those that switched to summer stayed active for an extra hour and a half, which indicates that mice born and weaned in a winter light cycle showed dramatic disruptions in their biological clocks. the finding is the first of its kind in mammals, and it could explain why people born in winter are at higher risk for mental health disorders including bipolar depression, schizophrenia and seasonal affective disorder. “we know that the biological clock regulates mood in humans，”said study researcher mcmahon. “if the mechanism (机制) similar to the one that we found in mice operates in humans, then it could not only have an effect on a number of behavioral disorders, but also have a more general effect on personality.” 32.how many groups of mice are there finally in all in the experiment?a.seven.b.six.c.five.d.four.33.whats the main idea of the text?a.the biological clock regulates mood in humans.b.people born in winter are at higher risk for physical health disorders.c.the length of light will influence the behavior of the mice.d.being born in winter has a negative effect on peoples mental health.34.the underlined word “split”(paragraph 3) can be replaced by _.a.endedb.dividedc.hitd.torn35.who is the appropriate reader of the passage?a.a jobhunter.b.a student in the university.c.a newlymarried couple.d.an experienced dentist.ehow to love your parents ?even if you think that your parents are mean-spirited at times, loving your parents is a normal and fulfilling part of life. you love them for the fact that they created you, raised you, and are in part, a source of who you are. 36 .tell them you love them every morning. a gentle “good morning” and “i love you” will warm a coldest heart. remember that they brought you into this world. without your parents, you might still wander at an unknown corner in an unknown world.respect them more and cherish these moments. you can use these moments to learn from them, preparing yourself for when youre off on your own. its ok to get angry but angry actions dont help you or your parents. act calmly, cool off, write down your feelings, or talk to a

i saw happiness as a huge banner (旗帜) across the finish line of a long race. i felt that only when i managed 41 certain things could i finally be happy in my life. most of the time i felt like a tortoise believing that being 42and steady(稳步的) would win the race. at other times i would 43like a rabbit trying different side roads at a dangerous 44 hoping to reach that banner a little faster. 45

i 49 hard to support my family，as i played with my children and heard their 50 and even when i was 51_ with my wife at my side looking after me. it had been with me as i raced towards that stupid banner. i just didnt have the 52 to see it. there is an old chinese proverb that says，“tension is who you think you should be. 53 is who you are.” perhaps we all should stop our race towards the 54 life we think we should have and 55 the life we have now. happiness will never be found under some banner far away. it will be found 56 your own heart，soul and mind. it will be found when you 57 that others love you just as you do. dont be a tortoise or a rabbit when it comes to your happiness. be a playful puppy and carry your stick of 58 with you everywhere you go. 59 yourself out of the race
