8year, 12album history, paul mccartney, john lennon, george harrison and ringo starr altered (改变) popular culture dramatically. and it wasnt just the suits and changing lengths of hair the four liverpool boys wore that had such an impact, but what they seemed to stand for. the world saw them as the voice of a new generation, one with a very different attitude to life. their influence was at its height in the 1960s, but their music continues to stir listeners today. however, up until recently one aspect of the beatles was struck in yesterday: the music had never been remastered (重新灌录). but on september 9 that situation came to an end, with the release of the entire bands music in a digital makeover. it is probably the biggest reissue (重新发行) in pop music history, said british newspaper the financial times. the albums were remastered at abbey road studios in london, the location where the band produced much of their work. the cover of their last album, abbey road of 1969, featured the four young men striding (大步行走) across a zebra crossing on abbey road itself. it is one of the most famous of all beatles images. recently, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the album, hundreds of beatles lovers gathered there to show their appreciation. pop groups come and go. the boy band pursued by screaming fans one year will be forgotten the next. but the beatles are one of the few groups whose music seems to have endured (持久). why? paul mccartneys biographer barry miles has an explanation: “they were the first rock band and they just happened to be the best. they were the first band to play stadiums, to have their own products. they were groundbreaking in every way，” he says.41why did the beatles change popular culture?abecause of the suits of the four liverpool boys.bbecause of changing lengths of hair the four liverpool boys wore.cbecause of their albums.dbecause of their different attitude to life.42which of the following statements is false according to

band stays on top in digital times.cthe origin of the beatles.dwhy is the beatles popular with people?c i had the meanest mother in the world. while other kids ate candy for breakfast, i had to have cereal (谷类食物), eggs or toast. while others had cokes and candy for lunch, i had to eat a sandwich. as you can guess, my supper was different from other kids too. but_at_least_i_wasnt_alone_in_my_sufferings. my sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as i did. my mother insisted upon knowing where we were at all times. she had to know who our friends were and where we were going. she insisted if we said wed be gone an hour, then we be gone one hour or lessnot one hour and one minute. and she always insisted upon us telling the truth. now you can see how mean she was. the worst is yet to come. we had to be in bed by nine each night and up at eight the next morning. we had to wash dishes, make beds, and learn to cook. we had to wear clean clothes and take a bath, while the other kids always wore their clothes for days. i believe she laid awake at night thinking up mean things to do to us. through the years, things didnt improve a bit. we could not lie in bed, “sick” like our friends did, and miss school. our marks in school had to be up to par(达到正常水平). our friends report cards had beautiful colors on them, black for passing, red for failing. my mother, being as different as she was, would settle for nothing less than ugly black marks. as the years rolled by, we were one by one put to shame. we were graduated from high school. with our mother behind us, talking, hitting and demanding respect, none of us was allowed the pleasure of being a dropout. my mother was a complete failure as a mother. out of four children, a couple of us attained some higher education. and whom do we have to blame for the terrible way we turned out? youre right, our mean mother. she forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults. now i am trying to raise my three children. i am filled with pride when my children call me mean. because, you see, i had the meanest mother in the world.46what does the sentence “but at least i wasnt alone in my sufferings.” mean?athe authors mother was only mean to her.bthe authors mother suffered her.cthe authors mother was mean to her sister, brothers and her.dthe author wasnt alone because of

friends did.cbecause she wanted her children to drop out.dbecause she wanted her children to do their best at school and be educated and respected citizens.49which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?asome of the children werent able to go to college because of their mean mother.bmother didnt let the author tell lies.cmother asked the author to wear clean clothes.dthe

marks) directions：read the following passage.fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. write no more than three words for each answer.you probably know that you can lose weight by limiting certain foods. but if youre an emotional eater, youll still turn to food if you dont deal with your feelings.basically, emotional eating is eating for reasons other than hunger.in other words, rather than reach for food because your body needs it, you are addicted because your emotions need to be satisfied. instead of the gradual urge you get when youre physically hungry, emotional eating strikes you suddenly.instead of filling the emotional empty space with healthy choices, emotional eaters use food for comfort, ice cream or chocolate for women and steak and french fries for men.besides blowing up your stomach, emotional eating does harm to your mind. when you eat for physical reasons you dont feel guilty.but when you grab for food when youre not even hungry, just because youre feeding your emotions, you feel guilty afterward. a good rule of thumb when youre lured(诱惑)into emotional eating is to remember to halt.“h” is for hungrysometimes you can feel physical hunger when youre on the point of an emotional eating.but rather than reaching for those comfort foods loaded with fats, and sugar, make better choices such as proteins, fruits and vegetables.“a” is for anxiousits easy to fall into emotional eating when youre worried and tense.rather than turning to food, do whatever work to calm your nerves.call a friend, pray, or keep a record of your feelings.just dont reach into the fridge.“l” is for lonelytoo often emotional eaters use food for companionship.instead of comforting yourself with food, join a group of caring people who understand your problem.twelvestep groups such as overeaters anonymous are excellent for connecting with others who struggle with you the same food addictions as you do.not only will you receive tools for recovery, but youll also realize youre not alone.“t” is for tiredwhen exhausted, either physically or emotionally, emotional eaters turn to food. instead, get some rest or eat something good for you.most importantly, find out the reason(s) why you overeat.its not so much what you eat, but whats eating you.unless you get to the root of why you overeat you wont conquer your food addiction.emotional eatin
