should do my best whatever the situation is. i know if i do not try my best, i will fail even before i begin.(232 words)part iii reading comprehension (30 marks)directions: read the following three

advertisement in the morning mail for a set of the complete works of william shakespeare. your company, cosmo books ltd., offered this set (eight books of plays and two books of poetry) at what was claimed to be a remarkable price: fifteen pounds and fifty pence, including postage and packing. i had wanted a set of shakespeares plays and poems for some time, and these books, in red imitation leather, looked particularly attractive; so i sent for them.two weeks later, the books arrived, together with a set of the complete works of charles dickens which i had not ordered. so i returned the dickens books to you, with a cheque for fifteen pounds and fifty pence for the works of shakespeare. two more weeks passed. then there arrived on my door step a second set of the works of shakespeare, the same set of novels by dickens and a six book set of the plays of moliere, in french. since i do not read french, these were of no use to me at all. however, i could not afford to post all these books back to you, so i wrote to you at the end of august of last year, instructing you to come and collect all the books that i did not want, and asking you not to send any other books until further notice.you did not reply to that letter. instead you sent me a bill for forty two pounds , and a set of the plays of schiller, in german. since then, a new set of books has arrived every two weeks, the works of goethe, the poems of milton, the plays of strindberg; i hardly know what i have. the books are still all in their boxes, in the garage, and my car has to stand in the rain outside.i have no room for any more books, and even if i read from now until the last judgment, i should not finish reading all the books that you have sent me.please send no more books, send no more bills, send no more angry letters demanding payment. just send one large lorry and take all the books away, leaving me only with the one set of the complete works of shakespeare for which i have paid.(413 words)

happily, it is a bad thing for young people. puppy love（早恋）may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression. the study shows that girls become more depressed than boys, and younger girls are the worst of all. the possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is “loss of self”. according to the study, even though boys would say “lose themselves in a romantic relationship”, this “loss of self” is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls. young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions. they wont tell that to their parents.dr. marian kaufman, an expert on young people problems, says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing. trying romance often causes the depression. she advises kids not to jump into romance too early. during growing up, it is important for young people to build strong friendship and a strong sense of self. she also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends, attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family.parents should watch for signs of depressioneating or mood changesand if they see signs from their daughters or sons, they need to give help. the good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age. love will always make us feel young, but only maturity（成熟）gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects.(289 words)61. whats the main idea of the passage? a. puppy love may bring young people depression. b.

people who have a strong sense of self. b. young boys whose parents watch for their behavior. c. young girls who always hide their feelings and opinions. d. careless parents whose children are deep in love.63. what can be inferred from the passage? a. lacking love can lead young people to grow up more quickly. b. the older a woman is, the less likely she seems to lose herself in romance. c. parents should help their children to be aware of the signs of depression. d. early love makes young people keep close to their friends and parents.64. whats the authors attitude towards puppy love? a. confused. b. scared. c. uninterested. d. disapproving.65. dr. marian does not suggest parents encouraging their kids to _. a. keep close to their friends b. attend more interesting activities c. chat

big raincoat, a soft hat and rubber-soled boots or shoes, and making little sound while walking. no one was in sight. it was a street with two rows of about fifty small houses and there were three lamps on either side. the lamp nearest to the childs house could be seen clearly, but the others were almost hidden by the smoky air. a car passed the end of the street and its lights showed faintly，but clearly enough to show the smooth skin of the womans face. the car disappeared as the woman, wrapped up in her coat, reached the doorway of the childs house. she put a key in the lock
