He was very bewildered.One morning Paul said to me, “Mum, you used to be a sales trainer.

Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his parents. He is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things or being punished for what he has done wrong. When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up his own position in society.66.

Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information for the passage. Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer.Every two years, cities around the world make bids (投标) to the International Olympic Commission (IOC) to host the Olympic Games. Today, cities are selected through a much more rigorous (严格的) process.Any city that wants to host the Olympic Games puts in its name to the IOC and is considered an “Applicant City”. For the next ten months, the IOC investigates the city on several points: 1) The city must prove that it is big enough to handle the Olympics. It also needs to show that it can handle the high level of security (安全) needed at the games.2) The city needs to convince the local people that the expenses of covering the Olympics (which may be covered by raising taxes) are worth it in city improvement and new jobs.3) The city needs to maintain a highly positive media exposure (曝光) to carry the games.If the IOC decides that a city has fulfilled the three points above, it is considered a “Candidate City” and goes into the second phase of the process. After an application and an application fee submitted (递交), the IOC makes a final judgment on which city is the best candidate for the coming Summer or Winter Olympic Games.The cost for bidding for the games is incredibly (难以置信地；非常地) high. Bid committees must pay an application fee to the IOC. (The fee for hosting the 2012 Olympics is US$150,000.) Following the fee, the cities generally need to begin large construction projects like building the “Olympic village”, new sports arenas (竞技场) and stadiums, and transportation systems. Since the Olympics are so expensive, why do cities want to host the games? Cities bid for the Olympics for a variety of reasons: the desire to show pride in their city and their country, the eagerness to be in the international spotlight for two weeks, the opportunity to bring new jobs into the community, and to build up tourism for that city.Bidding phasesNecessary construction projectsReasons for biddingfirst phase74. _76. _78. _put in name to 71. _submit the application and pay 75. _new sports arenasbeing eager to become the international spotlightthe IOC investigates the city on three points72. _make final judgmentstadiums79. _73. _highly positive media exposure77. _80. _第三节，阅读简答（共4小题，第1、2题4分，3、4题3分，共10分）Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit.The word addiction(上瘾) usually makes you think of alcohol or drugs(酒精或毒品), but in modern society we are seeing some new kinds of addictions. Some people are compulsive（难以自制的）shopper. Others find it impossible to keep themselves away from their work. Still others spend many hours watching TV or playing computer games.Over the years, shopping has become a very common activity. Many people enjoy going to the stores more and more every day. They have turned into shopaholics. They are people who simply enjoy shopping and walking around spending money without being able to stop doing it. They are crazy about shopping and usually buy things that they dont need. Even though they dont have enough money, they buy everything they want.The question is: why do they have this addiction? There isnt a good answer. Some people go shopping when they are sad, worried, upset or lonely and they want to feel better. They use this activity as a way to forget their problems. Shopaholics say they feel more important and better after they buy something. They also tend to have this activity when they feel guilty（负罪感的）.Shopaholism seems to be a harmless addiction, but it can cause many problems. People addicted to shopping should go to a support group to help them break this habit. 81. List three activities that might develop into addictions based on the text. (within 8 words)_82. Why
