Although there are certainly 42 when calling it quits is the right thing to do, in most 43 all that is needed is 44 and communication.When we are committed to something, it means that no matter how 45 or how uncomfortable something is, we will always choose to 46it and work it through instead of running away from it.

He spent all his evenings after work attending classes, hoping to improve himself so that he could one day find a better paid job. Except for Sundays, Father hardly ate a meal together with his family. He worked and studied very hard because he wanted to provide his family with the best that money could buy. Whenever the family complained that he was not spending enough time with them, he reasoned that he was doing all this for them. Though he often longed to spend more time with his family, he weighed his contribution to his family above everything else. The day came when the examination results were announced. To his joy, Father passed, and with distinctions too! Soon after, he was offered a good job as a senior supervisor which paid handsomely. Like a dream come true, Father could now afford to provide his family with lifes little luxuries like nice clothing, fine food and vacation abroad. However, the family still did not get to see Father for most of the week. He continued to work very hard, hoping to be promoted to the position of manager. In fact, to make himself a worthily candidate for the promotion, he took another course in an open university. Again, whenever the family complained that he was not spending enough time with them, he reasoned that he was doing all this for them. Though he often longed to spend more time with his family, he weighed his contribution to his family above everything else. Fathers hard work paid off and he was promoted. Happily, he decided to hire a maid to relieve his wife from her domestic tasks. He also felt that their three-room flat was no longer big enough. It would be nice for his family to be able to enjoy the facilities and comfort of a condominium. Having experienced the rewards of his hard work many times before, Father resolved to further his studies and work at being promoted again. The family still did not get to see much of him. In fact, sometimes Father had to work on Sundays entertaining clients. Over again, whenever the family complained that he was not spending enough time with them, he reasoned that he was doing all this for them. Though he often longed to spend more time with his family, he weighed his contribution to his family above everything else. As expected, Fathers hard work paid off again and he bought a beautiful condominium overlooking the coast of Singapore. On the first Sunday evening at their new home, Father declared to his family that he decided not to take any more courses or pursue any more promotions. From then on he was going to devote more time to his family, and it was a promise. Father did not wake up the next day.56.

The enthusiasm which greeted the Diamond Jubilee was, of course, especially memorable for me and my family.It was humbling that so many chose to mark the anniversary of a duty which passed to me 60 years ago. People of all ages took the trouble to take part in various ways and in many nations. But perhaps most striking of all was to witness the strength of fellowship and friendship among those who had gathered together on these occasions. On the barges and the bridges and the banks of the river there were people who had taken their places to cheer through the mist, undaunted by the rain. That day there was a tremendous sense of common determination to celebrate, triumphing(战胜) over the elements.That same spirit was also in evidence from the moment the Olympic flame arrived on these shores. The flame itself drew hundreds and thousands of people on its journey around the British Isles, and was carried by every kind of deserving individual, many nominated for their own extraordinary service.As London hosted a splendid summer of sport, all those who saw the achievement and courage at the Olympic and Paralympic Games were further inspired by the skill, dedication, training and teamwork of our athletes. In pursuing their own sporting goals, they gave the rest of us the opportunity to share something of the excitement and drama.We were reminded, too, that the success of these great festivals depended to an enormous degree upon the dedication and effort of an army of volunteers. Those public-spirited people came forward in the great tradition of all those who devote themselves to keeping others safe, supported and comforted.For many, Christmas is also a time for coming together. But for others, service will come first. Those serving in our armed forces, in our emergency services and in our hospitals, whose sense of duty takes them away from family and friends, will be missing those they love.At Christmas I am always struck by how the spirit of togetherness lies also at the heart of the Christmas story. A young mother and a dutiful father with their baby were joined by poor shepherds and visitors from afar. They came with their gifts to worship(崇拜) the Christ child. From that day on he has inspired people to commit themselves to the best interests of others.This is the time of year when we remember that God sent his only son to serve, not to be served. He restored love and service to the centre of our lives in the person of Jesus Christ.It is my prayer this Christmas Day that his example and teaching will continue to bring people together to give the best of themselves in the service of others.I wish you all a very happy Christmas. 60. Who most probably is the maker of this speech?AQueen of Great Britain. BKing of Great Britain.CPrime Minister of Great Britain. DMayor of London.61. What might be the main purpose of this speech?ATo make a summary of what has been done in the past years. BTo offer congratulations on the arrival of Christmas. CTo hold an anniversary celebration of an event.DTo express respect for and loyalty to God.62. Which of the following is NOT mentioned by the speaker?AEnthusiasm and Friendship. BDedication and effort.CSacrifice and service. DCivilization and peace.63. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?AThe speaker was too busy to attend the 2012 London Olympic and Paralympic Games. BVolunteers played a key role in the success of the Diamond Jubilee.CThe speaker showed great respect for those still at work at Christmas. DThe strength of the Christmas story lies in the worship of Jesus Christ. CWalking is the exercise of choice for most dieters. You dont need a gym membership to do this effective exercise. Heres how to prepare:The only equipment you really need is a decent pair of walking shoes. What matters most is comfort. When youre shopping for shoes: Wear the socks you plan to exercise in. That way youll get the best fit. Try on both shoes. Most peoples feet arent exactly the same size. Choose a pair that fits your larger foot. Allow a little extra room. Feet swell when you walk, so buy a pair with about a thumbs width between your longest toe and the toe of the shoe. Sure, walking comes naturally. But the following tips will help you stay comfortable and get the most out of your walk: Look ahead. Keep your neck straight and your head held high. If you have to look down to see where youre going, lower your eyes, not your head. Move both arms. Let your arms swing naturally at your sides, and youll burn up to 15 percent more calories by keeping your arms moving. Dont carry unnecessary weight. Some people try to get in extra exercise by carrying a couple of light dumbbells(哑铃), but fitness-walking experts say thats risky: The weights can pull you off balance and tighten muscles in your back or legs.Walking is one of the safest activities. Still, the following tips may be helpful: If youre walking at night, wear a piece of reflective clothing. If the path is dimly lit, bring a good flashlight. When the weathers hot, be sure to drink some water before you set out and better take a bottle of wate
