The program is introduced by Fran Levine.9:00 PM-Discovery When a 10-year-old boy gets a first class degreein mathematics or an 8-year-old boy plays chess like a future grand master, they are considered as geniuses.

Exercise plus a healthy diet. D. Low-salt and low-fat food.BWhen I was six, Dad brought home a dog one day, who was called “Brownie”. My brothers and I all loved Brownie and did different things with her. One of us would walk her, another would feed her, then there were baths, playing catch and many other games. Brownie, in return, loved each and every one of us. One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was sick and just be with them. We always felt better when she was around.One day, as I was getting her food, she chewed up(咬破)one of Dads shoes, which had to be thrown away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was wrong. When I looked at her and said, “Bad girl,” she looked down at the ground and then went and hid. I saw a tear in her eyes.Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet. She went everywhere with us. People would stop and ask if they could pat her. Of course shed let anyone pat her. She was just the most lovable dog. There were many times when wed be out walking and a small child would come over and pull on her hair. she never barked(吠) or tried to get away. Funny thing is that she would smile. This frightened people because they thought she was showing her teeth. Far from the truth, she loved everyone.Now many years have passed since Brownie died of old age. I still miss days when she was with us.41. What would Brownie do when someone was ill in the family?A. Look at them sadly. B. Keep them company.C. Play games with them. D. Touch them gently.42.

And it may be especially discouraging if you happen to be looking for a job or hoping to change careers right now. But it actually shouldnt matter to you nearly as much as you think.Thats because job growth numbers dont matter to job hunters as much as job turnover data. After all, existing jobs open up every day due to promotions, resignations, terminations, and retirements. In both good times and bad, turnover creates more openings than economic growth does. Even in June of 2007, when the economy was still falling along, job growth was only 132,000, while turnover was 4.7 million!And as it turns out, even today with job growth near zero over 4 million job hunters are being hired every month.I dont mean to imply that overall job growth doesnt have an impact on ones ability to land a job. Its true that if total employment were higher, it would mean more jobs for all of us to choose from. And its true that there are currently more people applying for each available job opening, regardless of whether its a new one or not.But what often distinguishes those who land jobs from those who dont is their ability to stay motivated. Theyre willing to do the hard work of identifying their valuable skills; be creative about where and how to look; learn how to present themselves to potential employers; and keep going, even after repeated rejections. The Bureau of Labor Statistics data showed that 2.7 million people who wanted and were available for work hadnt looked for a job within the last four weeks and were no longer even classified as unemployed.So dont let the headlines fool you into giving up. Four million people get hired every month in the U.S. You can be one of them.46. The author tends to believe that high unemployment rate _.A. causes many people to lose job opportunitiesB. should not stop people from looking for a jobC. prevents many people from changing careersD. does not mean the U.S. economy is worsening47. Where do most job openings come from?A. Job growth. B. Business expansion. C. Improved economy.D. Job turnover.48. What does the author say about overall job growth?A. It increases peoples confidence in the economy.B. It doesnt have much effect on individual job seekers.C. It gives a ray of hope to the unemployed.D. It doesnt mean greater job security for the employed.49. What is the key to landing a job according to the author?A. Never giving up. B. Being intelligent.C. Being educated. D. Being experienced.50. What do we learn from the passage about the unemployment figures in the US?A. They clearly indicate how healthy the economy is.B. They provide the public with the latest information.C. They dont include those who have stopped looking for a job.D. They warn of the structural problems in the economy.D Great speakers are not born but made. You too can become a good orator by taking up the public speaking courses. Those who are incapable of speaking in front of the public cant come up in their life. The art of public speaking must be practiced by everybody who wants to reach great heights in their career. A lot of public speaking courses are available on the Internet. Choosing the best course that is right for you may be difficult but not impossible. The basic motive of public speaking courses should be to train you to become a public speaker and improve your skills of delivering a public speech. The course should first educate you with the principles of public speaking and tell you how to overcome stress and anxiety. By overcoming fear, you will be able to deliver your presentation clearly to your audience. A speaker can have a great influence on the audience with his body language and your public speaking course should tell you the gestures on stage that can attract the audience. Non-verbal communication also has a major role to play in delivering a speech effectively to a group. Though body language is important, the content and the natural use of words are what the audience are closely caring about. Public speaking courses should give tips in using the right words at the right time.Even though you have prepared well, the real success of public speaking lies in the way your speech is delivered. Public speaking courses will train you to present the contents in a lively manner impressing the audience. Your presentation should be professional and stylish. You can add humor or interactive sessions (互动环节) to your presentation to gain the audience attraction. 51. If you want to become a good speaker you should_. A. be born an excellent one B. practise speaking in public C. attend all kinds of coursesD. make a search on the Internet52. From the public speaking courses you can learn_. A. the skills of listening to a public speechB. the rules of attending a public speech C. the importance of your presentationD. how to keep calm while giving a speech53. You can draw the audiences attention to your speech by_. A. using non-verbal communicationB. getting rid of your fear and nervousness C. following the public courseD. speaking in a loud voice54. What can be used to replace the underlined word “delivering” in Para 2? A. make.B. have. C. making.D. having.55. Which of the following can be the best title for this passage? A. What to look for in the public speaking courses. B. Some golden rules of giving a good speech. C. It is easy to find the speaking courses online. D. Some useful tips of delivering a public speech.第II卷（非选择题）第三部分：写作（提高题）第一节：阅读表达（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）阅读下面的短文，请根据短文后的要求答题。Speedy eaters are three times more likely to be too fat, a problem which is made even worse by the popularity of fast food and the decrease of regular dining habits, some Japanese researchers said on Wednesday. The findings, published in the British Medical Journal, pay special attention to how eating styles, and not just what or how much is eaten, can affect an obesity epidemic(肥胖流行病) that is becoming more and more severe because of the speed of the Western-style diet in many parts of the world.The World Health Organization considers around 400 million people in the world as too fat, 20 million of whom are under the age of five. The researchers are concerned that the condition raises the risk of diseases like type 2 diabetes (糖尿病) and heart problems. For their study, Hiroyasu Iso and the team at Osaka University asked more than 3000 Japanese volunteers (志愿者) who are 30 to 69 years old about their eating. About half of the men and a little more than half of the women said they ate until full. About 45 percent of the men and 36 percent of the women said they ate quickly. Those who said they ate until full and ate quickly were three times more likely to be fat than people in the “not eating until full and not eating quickly” group, the researchers found. They believe that the main causes are both the popularity of eating cheap fast food and bad habits such as wa
