their bicycles to get around. for many, its the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. bicycles also come in different colors-silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.its fun watching

to be part of this aspect of chinese culture, i decided to buy a bicycle. great weather accompanied my great buy. i immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.my first ride home was

streets was the biggest problem. it was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the united states. the streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.i finally made

is not a fad but a lifestyle.on april22, 2011, we decided to go green every single day for an entire year. this meant doing 365 different green things, and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond easy things. rather than recycle and reduce our energy, we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task.with the idea of going green every single day for a year, our green year started. my life and i decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment. we wanted to push the message that every little bit helps.over the course of our green year, we completely changed our lifestyle. we now shop at organic(有机的)stores. we consume less meat, choosing green food. we have greatly reduced our buying we dont need. we have given away half of what we owned through websites. our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice, with no chemical cleaners. we make our own butter, enjoying the smell of home-made fresh bread. in our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished.our minds have been changed by our green year. we are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others. we believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet.55. what might be the best title for the passage?a. going green. b. protecting the planet.c. keeping open-minded d. celebrating our green year.56. it was difficult for the couple to live a green life for the whole year because_.a. they were

out how long the human brain could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue (疲劳). to the amazement of these scientists, they discovered that blood passing through the brain, when it is active, shows no fatigue at all! if we took a drop of blood from a day laborer, we would find it full of fatigue toxins(毒素) and fatigue products. but if we took blood from the brain of an albert einstein, it would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day.so far as the brain is concerned, it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours of effort as at the beginning. the brain is totally tireless. so what makes us tired?some scientists declare that most of our fatigue comes from our mental and emotional(情绪的) attitudes. one of englands most outstanding scientists, j.a. hadfield, says, “the greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin. in fact, fatigue of purely physical origin is rare.” dr. brill, a famous american scientist, goes even further. he declares, “one hundred percent of the fatigue of sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems.”what kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired? joy? satisfaction? no! a feeling of being bored, anger, anxiety, tenseness, worry, a feeling of not being appreciated-those are the emotions that tire sitting workers. hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue. we get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body.59. what surprised the scientists a few years ago?a. fatigue toxins could hardly be found in a laborers blood.b. albert einstein didnt feel worn after a days work.c. the brain could work for many hours without fatigue.d. a mental workers blood was filled with fatigue toxins.60. according to the author, which of the following can make sitting workers tired?a. challenging mental work. b. unpleasant emotions.c. endless tasks. d. physical labor.61. whats the authors attitude towards the scientists idea?a. he agrees with them. b. he doubts them.c. he argues against them. d. he hesitates to accept them.62. we can infer from the passage that in order to stay energetic, sitting workers need to _.a. have some good food. b. enjoy their workc. exercise regularly d. discover fatigue toxinsd“indeed,” george washington wrote in his diary in 1785, “some kind of fly, or bug, had begun to eat the leaves before i left home.” but the father of america was not the father of bug. when washington wrote that, englishmen had been referring to insects as bugs for more than a century, and americans had already created lightning-bug(萤火虫). but the english were soon to stop using the bugs in their language, leaving it to the americans to call a bug a bug in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.the american bug could also be a person, referring to someone who was crazy about a particular activity. although fan became the usual term, sports fans used to be called racing bugs, baseball bugs, and the like.or the bug could be a small machine or object, for example, a bug-shaped car. the bug could also be a burglar alarm, from which comes the expression to bug, that is, “to install (安装) an alarm”. now it means a small piece of equipment that people use for listening secretly to others conversation. since the 1840s, to bug has long meant “to cheat”, and since the 1940s it has been annoying.we also know the bug as a flaw in a computer program or other design. that meaning dates back to the time of thomas edison. in 1878 he explained bugs as “little problems and difficulties” that required months of study and labor to overcome in developing a successful product. in 1889 it was recorded that edison “had been up the two previous nights discovering a bug in his invented record player.”63. we learn from paragraph 1 that _.a.americans had difficulty in learning to use the word bugb.george washington was the first person to call an insect a bugc.the word bug was still popularly used in english in the nineteenth centuryd.both englishman and americans used the word bug in the eighteenth century64. what does the word “flaw” in the last paragraph probably mean?a. explanation. b. finding. c. origin. d. fault.65. the passage is mainly concerned with_.a. the misunderstanding of the word bug b. the development of the word bugc. the public views of the word bug d. the special characteristics of the word bug第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。forgivenessto forgive is a virtue, but no one has ever said it is easy. when someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. however, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. people who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research.66 try the following steps:calm yourself. 67 you can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.dont wait for an apology. many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize. they may have wanted to hurt you or they just dont see things the same way. 68 keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.take the control away from your offender(冒犯者). rethinking about you hurt gives power to the person who causes you pain. instead of focusing on your mounded feelings, learn to look for
