During the first minutes of the new year, people cheer and wish each other happiness for the year ahead. But some cultures prefer to celebrate the new year by waking up early to watch the sunrise. They welcome the new year with the first light of the sunrise.Many cultures also do special things to get rid of bad luck at the beginning of a new year.

One widespread Spanish tradition for good luck is to eat grapes on New Years Day. The more grapes a person eats, the more good luck the person will have in the new year.

Europeans eat 365 grapes on New Years Day CDale Carnegie(戴尔卡耐基) was an American writer and lecturer, and the developer of famous courses in self-improvement, salesmanship, corporate training, public speaking and interpersonal skills.Born in 1888 in Maryville, Missouri, Carnegie was a poor farmers boy. His family moved to Belton, Missouri when he was a small child. In his teens, though still having to get up at 4 am every day to milk his parents cows, he managed to obtain an education at the State Teachers College in Warrensburg. His first job after college was selling correspondence courses. He moved on to selling bacon, soap, and lard（猪油）for Armour&Company.After saving $500, Dale Carnegie quit sales in 1911 in order to achieve a lifelong dream of becoming a lecturer. He ended up instead attending the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York, but found little success as an actor. Later he got the idea to teach public speaking. In his first session, he suggested that students speak about something that made them angry, and discovered the technique that made speakers unafraid to address a public audience. From its beginning, the Dale Carnegie Course developed. Carnegie had made use of the average Americans desire to have more self-confidence.Perhaps one of Carnegies most successful marketing moves was to change the spelling of his last name from Carnagey to Carnegie, at a time when Andrew Carnegie was a widely recognized name.Carnegies works include Lincoln the Unknown (1932), Public Speaking and Influencing Men in Business (1937), and How to Stop Worrying and Start Living (1948). His greatest achievement, however, was when Simon &. Schuster published How to Win Friends and Influence People. The book was a bestseller from 1936. By the time of Carnegies death, the book had sold five million copies in 31 languages, and there had been 450,000 graduates of his Dale Carnegie Institute.Carnegie died at his home in New York in 1955.28. What do you think of Dale Carnegies childhood?A. Difficult.B. Joyful. C. Lonely.D. Boring.29. Which of the following is important for Dale Carnegie?A. Encouraging one to trust himself.B. Helping people to get wealthy.C. Teaching people speaking skills.D. Advising people to live happily.30. Why did Dale Carnegie change his last name?A. To get more help and support.B. To replace Andrew Carnegie.C. To become more famous.D. To avoid misunderstanding.31. Which of the following is Dale Carnegies most successful work?A. Lincoln the Unknown.B. How to Stop Worrying and Start Living.C. How to Win Friends and Influence People.D. Public Speaking and Influencing Men in Business. DDeveloping healthy eating habits starts from childhood, therefore it is important for parents to teach and provide children with a healthy diet. DPHSS administrator of the Bureau of Nutrition Services, Charlie Morris told KUAM News, “A healthy diet for a child consists of a lot of fruits and vegetables in the diet limiting the amount of simple sugars in the diet and high fat food and highly processed(加工的) food.”This means staying away as much as possible from food such as chips, cookies, candies and sugary drinks, as all children need to have meals which involve a well-balanced diet. Community nutritionist(营养学家) Thelma Romoso said, “The fruit, the vegetable, the grain, the protein, and also the milk, the diary product, so for the fruits its easy for a mother to go into the two plus three concept of fruits and vegetables or five a day.”This concept means that there are at least two servings of fruits a day, three servings of vegetables a day which can be served for lunch and dinner. As for protein parents can make a variety of dishes from chicken, beef, fish or even dried beans to make sure the child gets three servings a day.Morris said that the childs hunger level controls how much is eaten and the parent controls what and when the meal is offered, saying, “Mom needs to ensure that the food offered is good food for the child to eat and throughout the day depending on how active they are, snacks(零食) are not a bad thing, so the mom should offer good kinds of snacks.”When it comes to preparing your childs lunch and snacks for school, make sure to keep in mind that the food you provide should not only be a source of energy but also be nutritionally beneficial such as fresh fruits, and whole grain bread. But parents must be sure to remember that a good nutritional diet must be balanced with physical activity, namely it is important that children get outside and run around and play and get activity in addition to eating a good diet.32. What does the author intend to tell us in the text?A. Choose healthy food and snacks for your child.B. Fruits and vegetables are good for your child.C. Take steps to provide a good lunch for your child.D. Make various and delicious dishes for your child.33. According to Charlie Morris we can know that_.A. mothers should prepare delicious food by themselvesB. highly processed food should be reduced in daily lifeC. sugars and high fat exist in few kinds of foodD. active children prefer more and more snacks34. Which is NOT true when preparing your childs food for school? A. The food must provide energy as well as nutrition.B. Physical exercise is as important as a good dietC. Running and playing when eating is beneficial.D. Fruits and whole grain foods should be included.35. It can be inferred from the text that _.A. Fresh fruits are often ignored by childrenB. A good nutritional diet may cost too muchC. Choosing healthy food is linked with incomeD. Parents play an important role in childrens diet第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Why Dont Students Like School?Most of the teachers I know entered the job because they loved school as children. _36_ However, they are understandably discouraged when they find that some of their students dont like school much, and that they, the teachers, have great difficulty inspiring them. Why is it difficult to make school enjoyable for students?As a matter of fact, the brain is not designed for thinking. Its designed to ask you not to have to think, because the brain is actually not very good at thinking. Thinking is slow and unreliable. _37_People like to solve problems, but they do not like to work on problems that cannot be solved. If schoolwork is always just a bit too difficult for a student, it should be no surprise that he doesnt like school much. _38_What is the nature of being human? _39_ Many people would answer that it is our ability to reason that makes us differentbirds can fly, fish can swim, and humans can think . (By thinking I mean solving problems, reasoning, reading something complex, or doing any mental work that requires some effort.) Shakespeare thought highly of our cognitive(认知) ability in Hamlet: “What a piece of work is man! How noble in reason!” Some three hundred years later, however, Henry Ford came up with a quite different opinion, “Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is the probable reason why so few people are interested in it.” They both had a point of view. Humans are good at certain types of reasoning, especially compared to other animals, but we hardly often exercise those abilities. _40_Thinking is not only painful, as Ford noted, its also slow and unreliable.A.A cognitive scientist would add another point of view, “Humans dont think very often because our brains are designed not for thought but for escaping from thought.”B. What sets us apart from other species?C. Of course you could make each decision with care and thought.D. However, people enjoy thinking if it is successful.E. Therefore, teachers should reconsider how they encourage their students to think, in order to make thinking enjoyable enough for students to go after. F. If we are all so bad at thinking, how does anyone get through the day?G. They want to help their students feel the same excitement and passion for learning that they felt.第三部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分40分）第一节完形填空（共20小题；每题1. 5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项A, B, C和D中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Yesterday afternoon John and I were walking along the road when we heard someone shout. “ 41_!” He called out several more times 42_we could find him.
