I was driving home with my 4-year-old son. Traffic was light. I was singing quietly along 31 the song playing on the radio. I 32 at the intersection and looked both ways. The road was 33 . I slowly started to make a right turn when suddenly a car rounded the curve at high speed and came 34 at me. I stomped (猛踩) on the brakes of my car killing the engine in the process. The speeder zoomed (疾驰) past my dead car 35 me by inches without even slowing down. 36 I knew it, a stream of rude words was flying from my lips, 37 after the car and its driver. I then saw my son who was staring up at me 38 . With a red face and a(an) 39 smile I started the car, pulled back onto the road, and headed home. Later that evening I was reading a book when I heard certain 40 words coming from my sons bedroom. He was replaying the 41 over and over in his mind. Too 42 I realized the 43 of those words that had flown from my lips in that moment of 44 . It took a lot of talks about good language and bad language with my son to undo (消除)the 45 of that incident. That 46 , however, did teach me just how strong words 47 be. It helped me to decide to stop swearing (咒骂) in my own life and to start using words that uplift and inspire instead. I slowly realized that language is a 48 from God and should be used to make our world better but not worse. I learned 49 that a few loving words can help a hurting heart, strengthen a 50 spirit, and lighten a heavy load. I pray then that all of your words today are full of love, joy, happiness, and light. 31. A. to B. by C. through D. over32. A. pushed up B. pulled up C. put up D. forced up33.

When I want to calm down, I listen to Indian classical instrumental music. Many times, I look at contemporary Indian art either in real art galleries or on virtual art galleries on the Web to improve my mood. I particularly like the paintings with vibrant (鲜明的) colors or ones which present a calm landscape using gentle colors. Art therapy (治疗) uses the creation or viewing of art to help people discover and express their feelings. Unlike art for arts sake, which focuses on the finished piece, art therapy focuses on the process of creation itself. Art therapists believe that the act of making a piece of art triggers internal activity that contributes to physical, emotional and spiritual healing. For people who are not able or ready to create art, going to an art museum or looking through art books or virtual art galleries can also be helpful. Simply viewing art refreshes the spirit and promotes relaxation.Art therapy is helpful in healing in various ways. The aesthetic (审美的) quality of the work produced can lift a persons mood, boost self-awareness, improve self-esteem and increase self-confidence. Also, research shows that physiological functions, such as heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration (呼吸), become slow when people are deeply involved in an activity they enjoy. Because art therapy uses a language other than words, it is often employed in treating patients with physical or emotional illnesses who have difficulty talking about their fears or hopes, or about their anger and other strong emotions. The creation of art helps people get in touch with thoughts and feelings that are often hidden from the conscious mind.Stress reduction is also a significant benefit. Studies have shown that repressing strong feelings can lead to a buildup of stress, and that stress can intensify pain and the symptoms of various diseases. Because art therapy helps people access their unconscious mind and release pent-up (被抑制的) emotions, it has been found to be very useful in treating those suffering from stress and stress-related illnesses.51. How does the author start the passage ?A. By describing his own experiences.B. By presenting a certain fact.C. By explaining a certain term. D. By giving figures. 52. The underlined word “triggers” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “_ ”.A. ignoresB. causes C. decreases D. prevents 53. All of the following are helpful in healing EXCEPT _.A. going to an art museum B. going to the virtual art galleries C. surfing on the InternetD. reading art books 54. Why is art therapy useful to patients with physical or emotional illnesses?A. It lets them forget about their fears. B. It helps them release their hidden feelings. C. It helps improve their social skills. D. It helps them hide their feelings. BHigh childcare costs are putting British mothers off going out to work. It really is that simple. Eurostat figures show that 66 per cent of mothers in the UK work, less than France (72 per cent), Denmark (86 per cent), the Netherlands (78 per cent) or Germany (69 per cent). This not only damages Britains economic prosperityit limits womens careers and squeezes family incomes. It would be fine if this is the choice parents want to make, but it isnt. Half of those surveyed want to go to work and the expense of childcare is one of the key reasons they couldnt. Despite claims made by Labour (工党) about childcare, a forthcoming (即将到的) report by the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) confirms the true legacy of their time in government. They left behind a childcare system with high costs to parents, variable quality and patchy (不均匀的) coverage, despite soaring government spending. British parents now face the highest childcare bills in the world after Switzerland. In the Eighties and Nineties under Mrs Thatcher and John Major, the picture was very different. Mothers in England were more likely to go out to work than their Dutch or German counterparts. But the position has reversed, despite a huge rise in public spending.So why does the British Government spend more on childcare than France or Germany, even though the costs given to parents are sky-high? As always, under the previous government, money was frittered away (浪费) without adequate focus on improving quality. Instead of clear and transparent funding, four separate funding streams were created, skewing (偏离) the market and confusing parents and providers alike. The majority of the money was given away in cash benefits; so much of it did not get through to the front line. The IPPR report points out that continental systems, in countries such as Germany, France, Denmark and the Netherlands, manage to deliver better value for money. What all of these systems have in common is a focus on quality, with greater flexibility and autonomy given to local providers. They also see a much higher proportion of government money getting to the front line. 55. Which of the following doesnt belong to the disadvantages caused by the mothers prevented from going to work?A. Damaging Britains economic development.B. Causing damage to womens careers.C. Decreasing the family incomes.D. Causing childcare costs to go up.56. According to the second paragraph, we can infer that the former government of the Labour Party _.A. was highly praised by British peopleB. made British people face the highest childcare bills C. left behind a childcare system full of problemsD. managed to decrease the government spending57. We can learn from the passage that _.A. in the Eighties and Nineties, mothers in the UK were likely to workB. there is a prejudice against mothers in the UK employment marketC. most of the mothers surveyed in the UK dont want to workD. the percentage of mothers who work in the UK is the lowest in the world58. Why didnt the previous British government create an efficient childcare system?A. Because the government lacked funds.B. Because the money wasnt spent in a right way.C. Because the providers didnt want to spend money on childcare.D. Because the majority of the money was taken by the officials.CI feel it enormous responsibility, as a mother of two little girls, to lead you down a path that is relatively healthy when it comes to beauty and self-image. In a lot of womens eyes Ive probably already failed in that respect due to the amount of pink princess Barbie (芭比娃娃) mess cluttering up (堆满) Veras room. But I will say something about Barbie I played with that stuff for a solid decade when I was growing up and here I am now at a healthy weight with a healthy outlook on my body and image. I have a successful career. If Barbie was really so damaging to my femininity (女性气质) and self-image I highly doubt I could list all of the accomplishments.But I get it too. Its hard for women to maintain a healthy self-image. I have girlfriends around whom I have to brace myself to see, because just being around them makes me self-conscious. I look at old pictures of my mother and wonder why Ive never been able to be as skinny as she was. And then I have friends who are thinner than their mothers ever were. We women go round and round in circles, holding hands and trying to be one another sometimes.Men like to think we dress and style ourselves for them, but why would we when they hardly notice? Ive never tried so hard to look good when I know Im about to meet up with a stylish girlfriend. Its she who will notice my slimmed-down waist or the thinnest, little bracelet on my arm.And I have no doubt that the two of you, Veronica and Juliette, will endlessly compare yourselves to each other. You will wonder why one of you got longer legs or shinier hair. The thing Ill tell you is this not even the prettiest of us feel settled. The girl you think looks the most perfect in the world is probably the girl who wants to change herself more than anyone else.Dont take these on. You are not worthless. You are so full of love and light and you should let it shine through you every second. If someone pushes you down for standing tall then just push yourself back up and stand even taller. And know that the reason they push you down in the first place is just because theyre scared.59. From the second paragraph, we can infer that the author _.A. regrets buying so much Barbie stuff for her daughtersB. thinks loving Barbie makes her not confident about her self-imageC. owes her beauty and success to playing with BarbieD. thinks playing with Barbie caused no damage to her beauty and success60. In the third paragraph, the author intends to show that _.A. women tend to be proud of their beautiful friendsB. she cares much about her appearance C. she feels proud of her mothers beautyD. women tend to admire others and compare with each other61. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. The author is disappointed that few men take notice of her slim figure.B. The author cares more about looking good before her girlfriends.C. Girls should constantly compare themselves with others to improve their beauty. D. Only the prettiest girl can feel confident about her beauty.62. The author advises her daughters that _.A. they should be cautious not to be pushed down by othersB. they should care much about their strong points instead of appearances C. they should try to grow taller than othersD. they should care more about others opinionsDPlay allows children to use their creativity while developing their imagination and physical, cognitive (认知的), and emotional strength. Play is important to healthy brain development. Play allows children to create and explore a world they can master, conquering their fears while practici
