One occurred during a 37 match between two Brazilian teams. The first goal was scored within three seconds after kickoff. What made the score 38 hard for the teams fans to take was the fact that it was made while their goalie was still on one knee with his 39 bowed in prayer.There is certainly a(an) 40 for prayer, but this poor man learned the hard way that there is also a time for action. In fact, both are 41 in a well-lived life. As Gandhi once said, “I have so much to 42 today, I will have to meditate（沉思）two hours instead of one.” Often, however, the best spirituality 43 with the prayer of the heart, and then moves to that prayer which is lived throughout the rest of the day.Several years ago a bomb 44 outside the huge oak doors of a Greek Catholic church in Jerusalem.

They cleaned the church and boarded the windows to 50 stealing.The following day, Bailey again 51 on his friend. The maid confided in him that the priest did not 52 at the bombs destruction. However, she added,“He did cry when you and your friends helped 53 up the mess it made.”Dr. Bailey has since remarked,“I did not 54 any theology（神学）that afternoon-or did I?”If theology is about love in action, he held one of his best classes that day.

Caffeine can improve memory among honeybees and lead to better pollination(授粉). According to a recent study published in the journal Science.The study was conducted by a team of researchers at Newcastle University in the United Kingdom. They found that the nectar(花蜜) of some flowers, such as those from grapefruit and lemon plants, as well as certain coffee flowers, contains low doses of caffeine. To get bees to feed on these flowers, the team trained the insects to associate food with the smell of the flowers. They also trained another group of bees to feed on nectar from flowers that were sweetened with a sugar, but did not contain caffeine. After 24 hours, the bees trained on caffeinated flowers returned to these plants three times as often as those trained on the sweetened flowers returned to the uncaffeinated plants.Professor Geraldine Wright led the researchers. “Remembering floral traits (花部特征) is difficult for bees to perform at a fast pace as they fly from flower to flower and we found that caffeine helps the bee remember where the flowers are,” Wright said in a statement.Improved memory led to the better pollination. Thats because once bees sip the caffeine nectar, they continue to look for more coffee plants to pollinate. This also suggests that caffeine plays a role in improving the bees ability to search for food.Researchers found that caffeines effect on the bee brain is similar to its effect on mammals. “The change is similar to that produced by caffeine in neurons (神经元)”associated with learning and memory in the rat brain,” Wright said.Bee populations have declining since 2007. The dramatic drop in the insects numbers has serious effects for ecosystems and the farming industry. Bees are needed in the reproduction of crops and spreading wild flower species. Understanding what keeps bees buzzing could help to make sure that the insects are able to remember and pollinate their favorite flowers.56. Which of the following is mentioned in the passage? A. Caffeine has no effect on the rat brain.B. Bee population has been increasing.C. The nectar of lemon plants contains caffeine.D. Bees dislike nectar from sweetened flowers.57. After reading the passage, John, who works in the farming industry, will probably feel _. A. annoyedB. angryC. nervousD. excited58. Which of the following relationship is correct according to the passage? A. improved memory caffeine nectar better pollinationB. caffeine nectar improved memory better pollinationC. improved memory better pollination caffeine nectar D. caffeine nectar better pollination improved memory59. We can know from the passage that _. A. the rat is a mammalB. caffeine has nothing to do with memoryC. bees are good at remembering floral traits D. Geraldine Wright did the research on his own60. What section of a newspaper may this passage be taken from? A. ScienceB. EducationC. CultureD. SportsBIf youre thinking about reaching for another biscuit to get you through the working day, think again. Eating unhealthy snacks at your desk makes you pile on almost half a stone a year, a survey has revealed. The waistlines of women suffer the most, with the average female putting on 6lb 3oz the equivalent of a whole dress size while men see their weight increase by 5lb 2oz.The report into our eating habits found that, on average, we eat at least two snacks a day, with 30 per cent of us tucking into three or more. Women admit eating more than men, with a further 13 per cent of ladies scoffing four or more snacks a day. The research, by The Village Bakery, found biscuits are the most common vice, with 42 per cent regularly opening a pack, closely followed by chocolate (38 per cent), crisps (32 per cent) and cakes (13 per cent).And office workers are worse than most. Cakes and biscuits brought into work by colleagues are one of the main temptations office staff give in to. In addition, 33 per cent admit reaching for nibbles to cope with stress and 22 per cent say they need a sugar rush to perk them up in the afternoon.Simon Staddon, of The Village Bakery, said: “We were aware time-poor office workers can find it difficult to easily access a nutritional lunch. But we were really shocked by the extent to which quick fix lunches are affecting weight gain and general wellbeing. Popular mid-afternoon pick-me-ups such biscuits, chocolate and cakes are high in calories, fat and full of sugar, all of which affect your blood sugar levels and ultimately lead to weight gain.”The survey of 2,000 British men and women suggests we are often ashamed of our unhealthy eating. Twenty-four per cent of Britons admit lying about how many snacks they eat with 33 per cent of women lying, compared to 20 per cent of men. Unfortunately, its not as if we are likely to do anything positive to counteract the sweet treats.61. According to the passage, women usually put weight on first _. A. on the faceB. on the legsC. on the feetD. in the middle62. Whats the main reason of eating snacks in office?A. Colleagues eat them to save money.B. Staff use them to cope with their lunch.C. Colleagues often bring them to office.D. Bosses invite staff to eat them.63. Why do office workers eat a “quick fix” lunch?A. Because it has much of nutrition.B. Because it has little effect on weight gain.C. Because it has little effect on general wellbeing. D. Because they have short time to have their lunches.64. It can be inferred that British women are _.A. less likely to lie on snacks than menB. more likely to lie on snacks than menC. more ashamed of eating snacks than menD. less ashamed of eating snacks than men65. What does the underlined word possibly mean? A. act againstB. appeal toC. cope withD. get in CA scientist turns out to be able to see the future by offering each of some four-year-olds a piece of candy and watching how he or she deals with it. Some children reach eagerly for the treat they see. Some last a few minutes before they give in. But others are determined to wait until the last moment.By the time the children reach high school, something remarkable has happened. A survey found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable. The children who gave in to temptation(诱惑) early were more likely to be lonely, easily frustrated and inflexible(顽固的)Actually, the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotional intelligence which doesnt show up on an IQ test.The hardware of the brain and the software of the mind have long been scientists concerns. But brain theory cant explain what we wonder about most, like the question why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would sink a less resistant soul.Here comes the theory of Daniel Goleman, writer of Emotional Intelligence: when it comes to predicting peoples success, brain ability measured by IQ may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as “character”EQ is not the opposite of IQ. What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together; how ones ability to handle stress, for instance, affects the ability to concentrate and put intelligence to use. Among the ingredients (要素) for success, researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20%; the rest depends on everything from social class to luck.While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously, some few fear EQ causes misuse.66. The experiment with the four-year-olds makes it clear that _.A. the age of 4 is a proper time for scientific experimentB. emotional intelligence wont show up until adolescenceC. the ability of self-control plays a role in personal successD. candy can be used to measure a persons emotional intelligence67. Which of the following is TRUE of EQ and IQ according to the text?A. There is no link between EQ and IQ.B. The higher a persons IQ is, the higher his or her EQ is.C. Some people can be blessed with lots of both, but some with little of either.D. Scientists are trying to discover the way in which EQ and IQ work together.68. The underlined word “upbeat” in Paragraph 4 probably means “_”.A. kind B. floating C. excited D. optimistic69. Why does the author mention the experiment at the beginning of the text?A. To amuse both the children and readers. B. To prove the scientists wisdom.C. To introduce the topic of the text.D. To show us how to do an IQ test.70. What is most likely to be written in the paragraph that follows?A. Information about famous people with high EQ.B. Examples showing the opposite voice about EQ.C. Some reasons why EQ is relatively new field.D. Strong demands for basic emotional education.第四节 任务型阅读Many Chinese high school students are fed up with their parents nagging (唠叨). They think their parents high expectations are a burden. But a recent survey found that they are much luckier than teenagers in Japan, the Republic of Korea and the US, who also find their parents constantly annoying. The parents of foreign teens have even higher expectations of their children than Chinese moms and dads. Sixty-two per cent of Chinese fathers and 66 per cent of Chinese mothers have high expectations of their children at high school age. They rank third and fourth among fathers and mothers of the four countries. Japanese mothers top the list with 76 per cent having high expectations, while 70 per cent of Korean fathers expect too much of their children. Japanese teens are the most deeply troubled by their parents constantly comparing them with other kids. The survey of high school students views of life in China, Japan, South Korea and the US, was held in 156 high schools in the four countries. More than 7,000 teenagers were questioned.The survey also found that with the smallest burden, Chinese students are the most satisfied with their parents. They blame them less, and also receive less criticism than students from the other three countries. However, satisfaction doesnt mean they are happy. Of the four countries, Chinese children are not the happiest at home. They get the least praise from their parents and they dont feel able to express their unhappiness to them. “Results from the survey show that despite different cultural backgrounds, generation gaps exist in many countries other than China. Its even bigger elsewhere,” said Sun Yunxiao, from the China Youth and Children Research Centre. He said that Chinese parents are used to burying their feelings deep in their hearts. This makes
