a. people are paying more attention to their own health. b. people are well off enough to pay their healthcare. c. its not so convenient for people to go the nhs for their healthcare. d. the nhs was not available for most of the people.第5页 共10页 第6页 共10页共59. according to the passage, the purpose of the health reform plan in the uk is to . a. fight against the opposition in the uk b. encourage more private healthcare c. deal with the main artery problems d. focus on the prevention rather than on curing the patient b the nbas version of the ming dynasty is done. after helping professional basketball gain a foothold in the worlds most populous market, chinese star yao ming has retired.yao made it official wednesday, telling a news conference that a series of foot and leg injuries forced him to end his playing career at the age of 30.“i will formally end my career,” said yao, who became a household name in china before starting his nba career with the houston rockets in 2002. yao played eight seasons in the nba.“today is an important day for me and holds a special meaning for both my basketball career and my future,” yao said. “i had to leave the court since i suffered a stress fracture (断裂) in my left foot for the third time at the end of last year. my past six months were a painful wait. i have been thinking about my future over and over. today i am announcing a personal decision, ending my career as a basketball player and officially retire. but one door is closing and another one is opening.”yao said he would return to work with his former chinese team, the shanghai sharks, with the possibility of becoming general manager. he already owns the club and wants to contribute more.“my playing career started with the club. i hope i can do something for it,” yao said.he later appeared with his family on the stage to the applause and cheers of the crowd. he thanked a lot of people - his family, former coaches, even players like shaquille oneal - “for making me a better player. i will be always with you. thank you.”rockets general manager daryl morey was among those attending the farewell (告别) conference wednesday. morey made the long trip from houston. morey said 20 hours on planes was tiring but he would be sorry if he wasnt here. “its a big moment,” morey added. “yao had a sense of humor, a great attitude and sense of responsibility. i hope we can continue his culture in the nba.”yao had played six years with the chinese national team before joining the rockets, and was already a star in his home country. he carried the olympic torch through tiananmen square and his countrys flag during the opening ceremonies at the beijing olympics in 2008. he also donated $ 2 million and set up a foundation to rebuild schools in the wake of the 2008 earthquake in sichuan.60. which of the following can be the best title of the passage? a. yao ming: a household nameb. yao ming retires from the basketballc. a farewell conferenced. yao mings personal decision61. according to the passage, which of the following words cant be used to describe yao ming?

a. daryl morey is the general manager of rockets. b. daryl morey was very tired at the conference. c. daryl morey thought highly of yao ming. d. the conference was a big moment of the year. cwhat do working mothers worry about the most? its the kids of course. whatever the setting, the question i get asked the most is “will the kids be alright?” its made me realize that we tend to look at the glass half-empty rather than half-filled when it comes to blending work and family. we forget about all the benefits that we bring to our children when we work - and im not talking about the obvious financial benefits, although these of course shouldnt be taken for granted.about a year ago i remember getting a call from the school just as i was pulling up to the house after having driven 20 minutes to the school and 20 minutes back. “mrs. brown quinn, your son asked us to call. he forgot his sports clothes. can you come back to the school and drop them off?” i was exasperated (恼火)! i had already spent 40 minutes in aggressive weekday morning traffic. i replied, “sorry, im working at the moment. im afraid my son needs to learn to be organized.”being a good parent requires delivering tough love sometimes. kids need to learn to be independent. it can be a cruel and competitive world out there. pursuing interests, including business, outside of your kids, can give you that extra perspective that you need not overwhelm your kids with attention. this benefit of working isnt always immediately evident.it wasnt until our daughter went away to college that she realized why we had raised her in the way that we did. “mom, i cant believe how so many of my friends struggle to manage things on their own. they are constantly calling their parents for help.” youll love that moment! after all those years of complaining about why you dont do this or why you dont give them that, your kids realize that tough love has made them better people.64. the author refused to drop off her sons sports clothes because _.a. she was caught in heavy trafficb. she was busy workingc. she thought her son was lyingd. she wanted her son to be organized65. how can kids become better people according to the author? a. by giving them all your attention b. by giving them freedom to do things on their own c. by showing them your deep love d. by giving them tough love66. the daughters attitude towards the author is _ when she grows up. a. complaining b. caringc. understandingd. disappointed67. the purpose of the author is to _. a. analyze a special benefit of working b. advise us to blend work and family c. argue for working mothersd. describe her own experience in raising children 第7页 共10页 第8页 共10页共 d when i was a boy , my mom had a little picture of the famous indian politician gandhi along with words from him on the refrigerator . it said : “ no matter how insignificant (无足轻重的) what you do may seem , it is important that you do it .” as a child , i was raised to believe that , and to this day i do my best to live it . when i was about 12
