Clients can also destroy computers, mobile phones and TV sets in what the company calls“destructotherapy”.“We target the machines that cause the most stress in modern life,” company co-founder Jorge Arribas said in a telephone interview.“People get rid of stress by screaming and beating the machines until they are tired out,”he explained.The company, based in the northern Spanish city of Sofia, uses deserted cars that still work. Heavy-metal music is used to excite the clients. They are given protective suits and glasses, helmets and huge hammers.Most peoples rage only lasts for 5 to 10 minutes. But some go on for hours: they beat cars on which theyve put the names of people or ideas they would like to get rid of.“Some even get together to turn the car over,”Arribas says. A session costs 60 euros (US80) per person.Arribas says the idea came to him when he was having trouble parking his car.Dozens of people have used the therapy, which helps people become aware of their stress level and helps them to slow down, Arribas explained.“Its better to channel violence in a controlled way than to get it out on ones wife or in a traffic husband and jam,”he added.StopStress already has branches in three Spanish cities, and is planning to extend its market beyond Spains borders.51. The Spanish company StopStress offers people the chance to _.A. calm down when they are angry B. destroy things they no longer needC. get rid of stress by destroying things D. get rid of stress by screaming and shouting52. Which of the following is NOT a means used directly to help people get less stressful in StopStress?A. Heavy-metal music. B. Mobile phones. C. Deserted cars. D. Protective suits and glasses.53.

The underlined word“destructotherapy”in paragraph 3 refers to _.A. a stress-relief remedy B. a destructive behavior C. a violent movement D. a mental disorderBSydneyA shark savaged a schoolboys leg while he was surfing with his father at a beach in Sydney on February 23. It was the third shark attack along the coast of Australias largest city in a month.The 15-year-old boy and his father were in the water off Avalon, on Sydneys northern beaches, around dawn when he was attacked. The citys beaches are packed with locals and tourists during the summer months.“The father heard a scream and turned to see his son trashing (扭动) about in the water,” police said. “Fortunately, the shark swam away and the boy was helped to shore by his father.”Lifesaving Club spokesman Nick Miller said, “It got him around the top of his left leg and the father came and dragged his out of water.” He said the boy was bleeding heavily when he was brought to the shore. “There was a lot of pain, as you can imagine.” The teenager was airlifted to hospital for treatment for leg injuries.Police said the bites “cut through to the bone”, but the boy did not appear to have sustained any fractures (骨折). He was in a stable condition now.Several beaches were closed after the attack. Water police and lifeguards were searching for the shark, while police hoped to identify its species by the shape of the bite marks. But they said it was too early to say what type of shark attacked the boy. “I dont even know if he saw it,” Miller said.Many shark species live in the waters off Sydneys beaches, but attacks on humans are still relatively rare. However, there were two attacks on successive days earlier this month, one on a navy diver in Sydney harbor, not far from the famous Opera House, and the other on a surfer at the citys world-famous Bondi beach.Fishermen say shark numbers are on the rise. There is a ban on commercial fishing in the harbor, which has increased fish stocks. Marine experts also claim environmental protection has created a cleaner environment, attracting sharks closer to the shore as they chase fish. Many shark species, including the Great Whitethe man-eaters made famous in Steven Spielbergs Jawsare protected in Australian waters.55. What do we know about the city of Sydney from the passage?A. It is one of the largest cities in Australia. B. Sydney harbor is not far from the famous Opera House. C. There are many locals and tourists on its coast all the year round.D. There are few shark species in the waters off Sydneys beaches. 56. The underlined word “savaged” in the first paragraph probably means “_”.A. attracted B. dragged C. bit D. packed57. About the injury of the boy we know that _. A. he was losing much blood when he was dragged out B. he was very nervous when he was sent to hospital C. he may be in danger of losing his leg D. he was injured in the right leg58. All the following are the causes of Australias sharks increasing EXCEPT that _.A. environmental protection has created a cleaner environment B. a ban on commercial fishing has increased fish numbers C. many shark species are protected in Australian waters D. the film Jaws has made the Great White famousCIt is normal for parents to question their childrens hairstyle or the clothes they wear. But today teenagers and their parents argue over something else: money.Children are spending lots of it. Parents used to say to their children,“Youre wearing that?”Now they say,“You paid how much for that?”Children in the US today spend five times more money than their parents did when they were young.So what are all these children buying? The list is long: iPods, trainers, cell phones and jeans are typical items that children“have to”buy. And they will do anything to get them. They ask their parents over and over until they buy them.But parents also need to take the blame for spending so much money. They want their children to have the best stuff. They end up competing with other parents over what their children have.So no wonder children find it hard to learn the importance of saving money rather than spending it all the time.And its hard to save when companies use advertising and clever slogans to encourage young people to buy their products. They even encourage children to keep asking their parents for something until they get it.Today, you dont even need to have money in order to buy something. Banks give out credit cards and loans all the time so people are saving less and less. We are used to there being lots of money around. And if you dont have much you can always borrow some.But this hasnt always been the case. When our grandparents were young there was very little money and everyone had to save hard for things they bought. They only bought things they needed, not things they just wanted.The older generation made the wise expression,“Money doesnt grow on trees.”This is as true now as it was 50 years ago. They give money a great deal of value. And we all have a lot to learn from them. 59. The text mainly tells us _.A. divisions between teenagers and their parentsB. childrens high consumption of productsC. what is popular among children at the moment D. how to spend money wisely60. Parents are to blame for childrens spending a lot of money because _.A. they dont give children positive guidance in consumptionB. their consumption habits set a bad example to childrenC. the always give children too much pocket moneyD. they offer to buy the latest fashions for their children61. People find it hard to save because of all of the following reasons EXCEPT that _.A. banks provide credit cards and loansB. advertisements draw peoples attention to new productsC. people have more money than in the past and saving is out of dateD. peoples living standard has improved and they can buy what they want 62. The saying“Money doesnt grow on trees.”in the last paragraph seems to tell us that _.A. the older generation understood how to teach children to save B. in the past, people attached more importance to saving moneyC. money has a great deal of valueD. money is not easily earned and people should be careful spending itDIs it time to kick Russia out of the BRICs (金砖四国)？If so, it may end up sounding like a famous ball-point pen makerBIC. An argument is being made that Goldman Sachs famous marketing device (策略), the BRICs, should really be the BICs.“Is Russia really worth the name BRICs?” asks Anders Aslund, senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, in an article for Foreign Policy. Aslund, who is also co-author with Andrew Kuchins of “The Russian Balance Sheet”, thinks the Russia of Putin and Medvedev is just not worthy of inclusion alongside Brazil, India and China in the list of future economic powerhouses. He writes:“The countrys economic performance has fallen to such a weak level that one must ask whether it has any say at all on the global economy, compared with the other members of its group. I have just returned from Moscow, which is always dull around this season. For the last seven years, Russia has taken very few measures to improve its economy. Instead, the state has been living on oil and gas.”Economically, Aslund has the numbers on his side. The International Monetary Fund figures that the Russian economy will fall by 6.7 percent in 2009, while China will grow 8.5 percent and India 5.4 percent. There is less of a case for Brazil, with a fall of 0.7 percent, but it is still doing far better than Russia.But the BRICs are not just about economy. As is mentioned above, it is a marketing device to encourage investors (投资者) to focus on the big promising players. From an investment standpoint, it could be argued that Russia is leading the BRICs. Its stock market is up 128 percent this year while around 80 percent is for the other three.At very least, despite Russias economic underperformance, its stock market outperformance does suggest it is indeed one of the group.63. According to the passage, which country will enjoy the biggest increase in 2009?A. China B. Russia C. Brazil D. India64. According to Aslund, Russia shouldnt be a BRIC partly because _.A. its economic performance is worse than that of the others B. its leaders are not good at managing economy C. it has taken effective measures to improve its economy D. it will no longer attract investors from other countries65. From the passage we know that _.A. Anders Aslund is working for the Russian government B. Russia outperformed the other three countries in stock market C. most people disagree Russia is included in the BRICs D. the BRICs would end up being the BICs sooner or later66. The author seems to _.A. suggest its time to kick Russia out of the BRICs B. feel worried about the economy of the BRICs C. think Russia is worth being one of the group D. show disappointment to Russias economyEShould doctors ever lie to benefit their patient-to speed recovery or to cover the coming of death? In medicine as in law, government, and other lines of work, the requirements of honesty often seem dwarfed (变矮小) by greater needs: the need to protect from brutal news or to uphold a promise of secrecy; to advance the public interest.What should doctors say, for example, to a 46-year-old man coming in for a routine physical check up just before going on vacation with his family who, though he feels in perfect health, is found to have a form of cancer that will cause him to die within six months. Is it best to tell him the truth? If he asks, should the doctor reject that he is ill, or minimize the gravity of the illness? Should they at least hide the truth until after the family vacation?Doctors face such choices often. At times, they see important reasons to lie for the patients own sake; in their eyes, such lies differ sharply from self-serving ones.Studies show that most doctors sincerely believe that the seriously ill patients do not want to know the truth about their condition, and that informing them risks destroying their hope, so that they may recover more slowly, or deteriorate (恶化) faster, perhaps even commit suicide.But other studies show that, contrary to the belief of many physicians; a great majority of patients do want to be told the truth, even about serious illness, and feel cheated when they learn that they have been misled. We are also learning that truthful information, humanly conveyed, helps patients cope this illness:
