of once deadly illnesses can now be cured by modern medicine. it is almost certain that one day medicines will be found for the most stubborn remaining diseases. the expectation of life has increased greatly. but though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before, every day we witness the unbelievable killing of men, women and children on the roads. man vs the motor-car! it is a never-ending battle which man is losing. thousands of people all over the world are killed or horribly killed each year and we are quietly sitting back and letting it happen. it has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel (方向盘), his car becomes the extension of his personality. there is no doubt that the motor-car often brings out a mans very worst qualities. people who are normally quiet and pleasant may become unrecognizable when they are behind a steering-wheel. they say, they are ill-mannered and aggressive, willful as two-year-olds and completely selfish. their hidden angers and disappointments seem to be brought to the surface by the act of driving. the surprising thing is that society smiles so gently on the motorist and seems to forgive his behavior. everything is done for his convenience. cities are allowed to become almost uninhabitable because of heavy traffic; towns are made ugly by huge car parks; the countryside is ruined by road networks; and the deaths become nothing more than a number every year, to be easily forgotten. it is high time a world rule was created to reduce this senseless waste of human life. with regard to driving, the laws of some countries are unbelievable lenient (宽容的) and even the strictest are not strict enough. a rule which was universally accepted could only have an obviously beneficial effect on the accident rate. here are a few examples of some of the things that might be done. the driving test should be standardized and made far more difficult than it is; all the drivers should be made to take a test every three years or so; the age at which young people are allowed to drive any vehicle should be raised to at least 21; all vehicles should be put through strict tests for safety each year. even the smallest amount of alcohol in the blood can damage a persons driving ability. present drinking and driving laws (where they exist) should be made much stricter. speed limits should be required on all roads. governments should lay down safety specifications for car factories, as has been done in the usa. all advertising stress power and performance should be banned. thesemeasures may not sound good enough. but surely nothing should be considered as too severe if it results in reducing the number of deaths. after all, the world is for human beings, not motor-cars. 61. what is the main idea of this passage?a. traffic accidents are mainly caused by motorists. b. thousands of people all over the world are killed each year. c. the laws of some countries about driving are to lenient. d. only stricter traffic laws can prevent accidents. 62. what does the author think of society toward motorists?a. society laughs at the motorists. b. huge car parks are build in the cities and towns.c. victims of accidents are nothing. d. society forgives their rude driving 63. what does the author mean by saying “his car becomes the extension of his personality” in paragraph 2?a. driving can show his hidden qualities b. driving can show the other part of his personalityc. driving can bring out his character d. driving can represent his manners64. which of the following is not mentioned as a way against traffic accidents? a. perfect the road network b. stricter driving tests c. test drivers every three years d. raise age limit and lay down safety specifications.65. the authors attitude towards the traffic situation is _. a. confused b. discontented c. appealing d. doubtful bconsult the page adapted from an english dictionary and do questions66-6966. what does the phrase “green shoots” mean in “green shoots have begun to appear in different markets”?a. signs of recovery. b. high prices.c. environmental protection. d. change in policy.67. fill in the blank in the sentence “i cant believe this is joshuahes _ since we last met!”a. shot out b. shot through c. shot up d. shot down68. when you are talking about unimportant things, we say you are _.a. shooting yourself in the foot b. shooting the breezec. shooting your mouth off d. shooting questions at somebody69. choose a word to complete the sentence “the _, which killed a policeman and wounded a passer-by, was reported to have lasted only 13 seconds.”a. shooter b. shoot c. shot d. shootingcdo you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and self-respect? the collection of happiness actions broadly categorized(把归类) as honor help you create this life of good feelings. heres an example to show how honorable actions create happiness. say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. if we keep silent, and profit from the clerks mistake, we would drive home with a sense of sneaky(卑鄙的) excitement. later we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune. on the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. we would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul. then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness? in the first case, where we dont tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. in the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect. we would also demonstrate(演示) that we cannot be trusted, since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends. we damage our own reputations by telling others. in contrast, bringing the error to the clerks attention causes different things to happen. immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased. whenever we take honorable action we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility. there is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions. honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. and its easy to think and act honorably again when were happy. while the positive cycle can be difficult to start, once its started, its easy to continue. keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind, which is important for our happiness.70. according to the passage, the positive action in the example contributes to our_. a. self-respect b. financial rewards c. advertising ability d. friendly relationship71. the author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to_.a. lying b. stealing c. cheating d. advertising 72. the underlined phrase bringing the error to the clerks attention means_.a. telling the truth to the clerk b. offering advice to the clerkc. asking the clerk to be more attentive d. reminding the clerk of the charged item 73. how will we feel if we let the clerk know her mistake? a. well be very excited. b. well feel unfortunate.c. well have a sense of honor. d. well feel sorry for the clerk.74. which of the following can be the best title of this passage?a. how to live truthfully b. importance of peacefulnessc. ways of gaining self-respect d. happiness through honorable actionsdpsychology(心理学) has a new application in the field of medicine. many doctors, together with their patients, are looking for alternative methods of treatment of physical problems. in large hospitals, modern therapy（疗法） seems to focus on the physical disease. patients may feel they are treated like broken machines. some doctors have recognized this as a problem. they are now using psychological therapy, in which the patient is working with the doctors against the disease with the help of medicine. the patient does not wait for the medicine and treatment to cure him or her, but instead the patient joins in the fight. the doctor knows that a disease affects a patients body physically. the body of the patient changes because of the disease. he is not only physically affected, but also has an emotional response to th
