This is because college health costs in the United States are high. Colleges are not able to pay the costs if a student suffers a serious accident or sickness. Many American colleges have health centers where doctors and nurses treat students medical problems. This service may be included in the cost of attending college. Health insurance is usually needed for extra services.Students may already be protected under their familys health insurance policies. If not, many colleges offer their own insurance plans.For example, students at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor are treated without charge for minor medical problems at the university health center. But the university suggests that students buy its health insurance plan to pay for other health services. The cost is about eight-hundred dollars a year. The insurance generally pays for hospital services, emergency room care and visits to doctors. It also pays for laboratory tests and X-rays. And it pays ninety percent of the cost of drugs ordered by a doctor. The plan does not pay for birth control ，care of the teeth or eyeglasses. And it does not pay for preventive care such as injections that prevent disease.Students at Boston College in Massachusetts are required to have their own health insurance plan or to buy the college accident and sickness insurance. The college plan costs about five- hundred dollars a year. It pays for any medical care needed within a time period. It does not pay for eyeglasses, hearing aids, or dental treatment. Students can also buy independent insurance policies from insurance companies. The details of such policies are different, depending on where the student lives.41.

It is something for myself to say this is a rock from the summit ” Jordan Romero from California, told reporters in Kathmandu. He left for the mountain on Sunday.If he succeeds, Romero will become the youngest climber to scale the 8,850 meters(29，035 feet) Everest summit. Currently a 16-year-old Nepali boy, Temba Tsheri Sherpa, holds the record of being the worlds youngest climber of Mount Qomolangma.But Romero, sitting over lunch with his climbing father and stepmother in Kathmandus tourist district of Thamel said he was not after setting climbing records.Romero said Mount Qomolangma, that straddles (跨越）Nepal - China border, was part of his goal to climb the highest mountains on all seven continents.“It is just a goal，” he said confidently. “If I dont succeed I am okay. I will try again.Romero has already climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa and Mount McKinley in Alaska among others.His father Paul, a critical care paramedic, said the boy was ready to take on the climb and understood the risk of climbing the giant mountain.“I know it requires a lot of patience. I will remain patient. I want to stay safe and make the right choice ，Romero said of his climb using the northeast ridge route on the Chinese side of the mountain.More than 4,000 climbers have reached the top of Mount Qomolangma since it was first climbed by New Zealander Sir Edmund Hillary and Nepals Tenzing Norgay Sherpa in 1953. Romera said he wanted to climb the highest mountains in all 50 states in the United States next. “It does not need to be after Qomolangma and could be in between. Romera added.45.

Sounds too simple, doesnt it? But, in reality, we can have much more happiness if we choose to consider things in positive attitude. Everyone experiences the ups and downs of life; however ，we can make a decision to deal with negative things or practice what the old saying says to do: “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade! ”It really boils down to your attitude and you have the ability to change your attitude into any shape you like. Here are some tips: Ignore those who tell you that life is too difficult to be happy. What do they know? When you awaken each morning, be thankful for another day, even if its raining. Smile at those you meet, even if they dont return the favor. Dont borrow trouble. Each day has enough of its own. Dont allow trouble to bury you in its gray clouds of sorrow. Dont give in to negative thinking. Refuse to give up on anything worth having or doing. Do something you enjoy each day, even if its just a walk in your neighborhood. Whistle as you go through the day. Work at being happy because its worth it.Youre human, like everyone else, and from time to time you need a little pick-me-up in your decision to be happy. When you reach that stage, find someone else who has decided to be happy. Join forces with him or her and march forward in your decision to be a happy person.Simply speaking, a happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes.Choose today to just be happy-as much as it depends on you!49.The underlined sentence advises us to _ .A. work hard for a comfortable lifeB. drink lemonade when in difficultyC. make the best of what we haveD. ignore the negative side of life50.To feel happy, you should _ .A. not give up on negative thinkingB. have a walk with your neighbor every dayC. live in certain circumstancesD. consider the ups and downs of your life positively51.According to the passage ，who is probably considered to be a happy person?A. Agnes is always seeking comfortable circumstances.B. Raman is easy to sink in negative thinking.C. Kingsley spends some time seeing his favorite films.D. Louisa hates her boss but doesnt give up the job.52.Whistle as you go through the day so that _ .A. you can make the lemonade deliciousB. you will be happy about your lifeC. you wont have any trouble at allD. you may make others happyDChildren in America are encouraged, but not forced, to “leave the nest” and begin an independent life once they reach a suitable age (usually between 18 and 21 years) . After children leave home they often find social relationship and financial support outside the family.Parents do not arrange marriages for their children ，nor do children usually ask permission of their parents to get married ，Romantic love is most often the basis for marriage in the United States; young adults meet their future spouses (配偶） through other friends, at jobs ，and in organizations and religious institutions.Although children choose their own spouses, they still hope their parents will approve of their choices. In many families ，parents feel that children should makemajor life decisions by themselves. A parent may try to influence a child to follow a particular profession but the child is free to choose another career.Sometimes children do precisely the opposite of what their parents wish in order to declare their independence. A son may deliberately decide not to go into his fathers business because of a fear that he will lose his autonomy( 自主）in his fathers workplace.This independence from parents is not an indication that parents and children do not love each other. Strong love between parents and children is universal and this is no exception in the American family. Co-existing with such love in the American family are cultural values of self reliance and independence.53.The marriage of young adults is discussed to show _ .A. they are free to choose their spousesB. they want to win the permission of their parentsC. they want to challenge the authority of their parentsD. they live an independent life54.It can be inferred from the text that _ .A. most American people never make decisions for their childrenB. American culture values autonomy and independenceC. American young adults are likely to follow the suit of their parentsD. American parents find it hard to live together with their gown-up children55.A son is unwilling to work in his fathers business mainly because _ .A. he wishes to make full use of what he has learnt in schoolB. he wishes to do the opposite of what his parents approve ofC. he wants to prove his independenceD. he wants to show his love for his parents56.The subject matter of this passage is _ .A. family values in AmericaB. marriage arrangements in AmericaC. the pursuit of a career in AmericaD. decision making in AmericaEPronouncing a foreign language is a skill. Every normal person is expert in the skill of pronouncing his own language; but few people are even moderately proficient at pronouncing foreign languages. Now there are many reasons for this, some obvious， some perhaps not so obvious. But I suggest that the fundamental reason why people in general do not speak foreign languages very much better than they do is that they fail to grasp the true nature of the problem of learning to pronounce ，and consequently never set about tackling it in the right way. Far too many people fail to realize that pronouncing a foreign language is a skillone that needs careful training of a special kind, and one that cannot be acquired by just leaving it to take care of itself. I think even teachers of language, while recognizing the importance of a good accent, refuse to pay attention to ，in their practical teaching, the branch of study concerned with speaking the language. So the first point I want to make is that English pronunciation must be taught; the teacher should be prepared to devote some of the lesson time to this ，and should get the student to feel that here is a matter worthy of receiving his close attention. So, there should be occasions when other aspects of English, such as grammar or spelling ，are allowed for the moment to take second place.Apart from this question of the time given to pronunciation, there are two other requirements for the teacher: the first, knowledge; the second, technique.It is important that the teacher should be in possession of the necessary information. This can generally be obtained from books. It is possible to get from books some idea of the mechanics of speech, and of what we _
