They may be depressed, or struggling to find a satisfactory job. People with such problems believe cosmetic surgery will not just make them look better, but also make them feel better inside. Other people may be insecure about one part of their body, or just _25_ with how they look.There is no proof that cosmetic surgery can really make people happier, but _26_ this, many people still have very high expectations for it.

You must be certain that the surgeon you choose is _28_ to give you cosmetic surgery. The biggest question for someone thinking of having cosmetic surgery is the cost. The price can vary from a few hundred dollars to $10,000 or above. It depends on which part of your body you want to change.

Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Some personal characteristics play an important role in the development of ones intelligence. But people fail to realize the importance of training these factors in young people.The so-called non-intelligence factors include ones feelings, will, motivation, interests and habits. After a 30-year study, American psychologists 30 that the main cause of differences in intelligence is not intelligence 31 , but non-intelligence factors including the desire to learn, will power and self-confidence. 32 people all know that one should have definite objectives, a strong will and good learning habits, quite a number of teachers and parents dont pay much attention to 33 these factors .Some parents are greatly worried when their children fail to do well in their studies. They blame either genetic factors, or laziness, but they never take into 34 these non-intelligence factors. At the same time, some teachers dont inquire into reasons why students do 35 . They simply give them more courses and exercises, or 36 criticize or laugh at them. After all, these students lose self-confidence. Some of them just feel defeated and 37 themselves up as hopeless. Others may go astray（堕落）because they are sick of learning. An investigation of more than 1,000 middle school students in Shanghai showed that 46.5 per cent of them were 38 of learning, because of examinations, 36.4 per cent lacked persistence, initiative and consciousness and 10.3 per cent were sick of learning .It is clear that the lack of cultivation of non-intelligence factors has been a main 39 to intelligence development in teenagers. It even causes an imbalance between physiological and 40 development among a few students .If we dont start now to 41 the cultivation of non-intelligence factors , it will not only affect the development of the 42 of teenagers, but also affect the quality of a whole generation. Some experts have put forward 43 about how to cultivate students non-intelligence factors. Parents and teachers should 44 understand teenage psychology . On this basis, they can help them to pursue the objectives of learning, exciting their interests and toughening their willpower.30Acame out Bfound out Cmade out Dworked out 31Ain itself Bby itself Citself Don its own 32AThough BNeverthelessCHowever DMoreover 33Abelieving Bstudying Ccultivating Ddeveloping 34Aeffect Bcomment Cconsideration Dpreparations 35Apoorly BproperlyCsuccessfullyDdependently 36Aever Beven Cstill Dmore 37Aput BgetChandle Dgive 38Aafraid Bahead Caware Dashamed 39Adifficulty Bquestion Cthreat Dobstacle40Aintelligent Bcharacteristic Cpsychological Dphysical 41Apractise Bregulate Cstrengthen Durge 42Aintelligence BdiligenceCcultivation Dperformance 43Aprojects Bwarnings Csuggestions Ddecision 44Afully Bgreatly Cvery Dhighly Section BDirections: Read the following four passages.

She is a rock climber and a big star in France and Italy. She is the most famous woman climber in the world because she often climbs without ropes. She climbs in many countries but most often in the French Alps near Chamonix, where she lives. She started climbing near her home in Paris when she was five. Then, at fourteen, she joined the French Alpine Club to learn more, but immediately she climbed better and more quickly than the older members of the club. She won her first competition in Italy in 1995.Three years ago she found a new route up the Dru Mountain near Chamonix. The climb took eleven days and for four days the snow was so heavy that she could not move. Last year other climbers tried to follow the new Destivelle Route, but they failed. They are going to try again this year.People always ask her about her climbing. She says, “I climb because Im in love with mountains. I like touching the rock and reading the face of the rock. I like it a lot. I felt at home on the side of a mountain. I prepare well before I go, so Im never worried.”Catherine chooses new mountains from bookslike buying from a shopping catalogue (目录)! “I see a nice mountain and I go to climb it!” Her next mountain is in Pakistan.

Christmas C Twenty years ago, most experts believed that differences in how boys and girls behaved were mainly due to differences in how they were treated by their parents, teachers, and friends. Its hard to cling to that belief today. Recent research has shown that there are biological differences between boys and girls. Understanding these differences is important in raising and educating children. For example, girls are born with more sensitive hearing than boys, and the difference increases as kids grow up. So when a grown man speaks to a girl in what he thinks is a normal voice, she may hear it as yelling. Conversely (反过来), boys who appear to be inattentive in class may just be sitting too far away too hear the teacher. Likewise, girls are better in their expression of feelings. Studies reveal that negative emotions are seated in an area of the brain called the amygdala. Girls develop all early connection between this area and the cerebral cortex (大脑皮层), enabling them to talk about their feelings. In boys these links develop later. So if you ask a troubled adolescent boy to tell you what his feelings are, he often cannot say much. Dr. Sax, an advocate of single-sex education, points out that keeping boys and girls separate in the classroom has yielded striking educational, social, and interpersonal benefits. Therefore, parents and teachers should try to recognize, understand, and make use of the biological differences that make a girl a girl, and a boy a boy. 52What is the main idea of the passage? A. Boys tend to pay less attention in class than girls. B. Girls are better than boys in their ability to detect sounds. C. Boys and girls behave differently because of biological differences. D. Single-sex schools are not good because they keep boys and girls separate.53Why do girls express negative feelings better than boys? A. Girls are more emotional than boys. B. Girls have more brain cells than boys. C. The amygdala is located in different areas of the brain for boys and girls. D. The links between certain parts of the brain develop earlier in girls than in boys. 54Which of the following does the author believe? A. Girls need more training in communication. B. Boys and girls should be educated in different ways. C. Parents should pay more attention to boys. D. Sex differences should be ignored in education。55What does the phase “cling to” in the first paragraph mean? A. maintain B. abandonC. evaluate D. challengeSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph.
