businessman who had 4 wives. he loved the 4th wife the most and gave her the most beautiful clothes and treated her to delicious foods. he took great care of her and gave her nothing but the best. he also loved the 3rd wife very much. hes very proud of her and always wanted to show her off to his friends. however, the businessman is always in great fear that she might run away with some other men. he too, loved his 2nd wife. she is a very considerate person, always patient and in fact is the businessman s confidante(红颜知己). however, the businessman faced some problems, he always turned to his 2nd wife and she would always help him out and get him through difficult times. now, the businessmans 1st wife is a very loyal partner and has made great contributions in keeping his wealth and business as well as taking care of the household. however, the businessman did not love the first wife and although she loved him deeply, he hardly took notice of her. one day, the businessman fell ill. before long, he knew that he was going to die soon. he thought of his wonderful life and told himself, now i have 4 wives with me. but when i die, ill be alone. how lonely ill be! thus, he asked his four wives, now that im dying, will you follow me and keep me company? no way! replied the 4th wife and she turned away without another word. no! replied the 3rd wife. life is so good over here! im going to remarry when you die! the businessmans heart sank and turned cold. im sorry, i cant help you out this time! replied the 2nd wife. at the very most, i can only send you to your grave(坟墓).” the answer came like a set of thunder and the businessman was heartbroken. then a voice called out: ill leave with you. ill follow you no matter where you go. the businessman looked up and there was his first wife. greatly sad, the businessman said, i should have taken much better care of you while i could have! actually, we all have 4 wives in our lives.the 4th wife is our body. no matter how much time and effort we spend in making it look good, itll leave us when we die. our 3rd wife is our possessions, status and wealth. when we die, they all go to others. the 2nd wife is our family and friends. no matter how close they had been there for us when were alive, the furthest they can stay by us is up to the grave. the 1st wife is in fact our soul, often not paid attention to in our search of material, wealth and the pleasure of sense. guess what? it is actually the only thing that follows us wherever we go. perhaps its a good idea to strengthen it now rather than to wait until were dying. 56. if the businessman met some personal or business problems, he would ask his _wife for help before.a. firstb. secondc. thirdd. fourth57. which of the followings is true?a. the businessman paid little attention to his first wife before.b. his fourth wife was the most beautiful.c. his third wife always gave him some useful suggestions.d. his second wife could help him out this time as usual.58. in the writers opinion, which of the followings should we treasure?a. our body.b. our wealthc. our family and friendd. our soulbtop 10 cities world-wide travellers most wanted to visit london has made it into the top three cities travellers most want to visit this year, just behind rome and istanbul.the uk capital beat the top two destinations from 2013 - paris and new york - which dropped to 7th and 12th places by themselves.fourth on this years list was beijing, with prague fifth and marrakech in morocco sixth.there was also a boost(提升) for the storm-damaged south west of england with bristol and torquay making it in to the top 10 uk destination table edited by trip advisor from millions of reviews.the capital headed the list of the best destinations in the uk, second place went to edinburgh, with torquay third, liverpool fourth and belfast fifth. while manchester, glasgow and blackpool all dropped out of the top 10.these awards are based on millions of reviews and ratings by those that really matter - travellers themselves.there is no doubt the birth of the royal baby helped keep the eyes of the world on london in 2013, but the capitals continued appeal(吸引力) among travellers around the world is more than any one event.59. which was the most popular city that world-wide travelers most wanted to visit in 2013?alondon b. paris c. romed. beijing60. what was the main reason for london to draw travellers?athe birth of the royal baby. bthe damage by the stormcthe continued attraction of itself dthe best destination61. which of the following is true?a. bristol was more popular among travellers than manchester in uk. b. blackpool was still in the top 10 cities most visitors wanted to travel in ukc. london headed the first place that most visitors wanted to visit both in the world and uk.dedinburgh won the second place among the top 10 cities world-wide travellers most wanted to visit62. what is the correct order of the following cities this year? london beijing new york istanbul a. b. c. d. cpeekaboo is a game played over the world, crossing language and cultural barriers(障碍). why is it so popular? perhaps because its such a powerful learning tool.one of us hides our eyes and then slowly moves them off. this causes a lot of laughter from a baby, which causes us to laugh in turn. then we do it again and again.peekaboo never gets old. not only does my own baby daughter seem happy to do it for hours, but when i was young i played it with my mum (you laughed a lot! she answered by text message) and so on back through the generations. so why is it that babies across the world are always playing peekaboo for themselves?an early theory of why babies enjoy peekaboo is that they are surprised when things come back after being out of sight. this may not sound like a good thing for laughs to you or i, with our adult brains, but to appreciate the joke you have to realize that for a baby, nothing is given. they are born into a puzzle, and gradually have to learn to make sense of what is happening around them. you know that when you hear my voice, im usually not far behind, or that when a ball rolls behind a sofa it still exists, but think for a moment how you came by this certainty.the swiss psychologist(心理学家) jean piaget called this theory object permanence（持久） and suggested that babies spent the first two years of their lives working it out. and of course those two years are prime peekaboo time. looked at this way, the game isnt just a joke, but helps babies test and re-test the theory of existence: that things are still around even when you cant see them.63what does the underlined word “prime” in para.6 mean?a. the firstb. the lastc. the bestd. the worst64what can we infer from the message of the writers mother?a. she liked peekaboo herself as well.b. the author didnt like peekaboo at all.c. the author thought peekaboo was a little boring.d. the author liked peekaboo as well when young.65the main purpose of this passage is to try to tell us _.a. the function (功能) of peekaboo.b. the way to play peekaboo.c. the age to play peekaboo.d. the cause of peekaboos being popular.dthe disappearance of an indonesia airasia plane with 162 people on board brings an end to the terrible year of 2014 for the aviation(航空) industry. accident data(数据) says, though, that flying remains safe by historical standards.airasia flight qz8501 lost contact with air traffic control sunday on a flight to singapore from surabaya, indonesia, as it was climbing to a higher altitude to avoid stormy weather, officials said. it was an airbus group nv a320 jet, which can seat 180 passengers, was lost at 7:24 a.m. local timealmost two hours after takeoff.the disappearance follows a series of ill-fated flights this year, of which two belonged to malaysia airlines. in march, one of its boeing co. 777s went missing with 239 people on board to beijing from kuala lumpur, and the wreckage（残骸） still hasnt been located. and in july, another 777 belonging to the malaysian carrier was shot down over eastern ukraine, killing all 298 aboard in the years deadliest air accident.an air algrie flight also crashed in july while flying to algeria from burkina faso. all 116 people on the plane died.the malaysia airlines of mh370 dropped off the radar an hour into flight. at the end of 2014, the families of the victims still have no answers. wsjs jason bellini reports.in spite of these accidents and a series of others during the summer, the loss of life during 2014 before the disappearance of the airasia plane sunday was still below the 10-year average of 676 deaths, according to data from the aviation safety network, an affiliate of the not-for-profit flight safety foundation. crashes this year had led to 526 deaths before contact was lost with the airasia plane the group said. the deaths from the shootdown over ukraine arent counted because they are linked to a hostile(敌对的) act.“it will probably come as a surprise to most peo
