We had 36 money and few worldly goods, but plenty of love and attention. I was 37 and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, they could 38 afford a dream.My dream was to be a 39 . When I was sixteen, I could crush a baseball, throw a ninety mile per hour fastball. I was also 40 : my high school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who 41 me the difference between having a dream and showing strong belief. One particular 42 with him changed my life forever.It was a summer and a friend recommended me for a summer 43 . This meant a chance for my first income cash for a new bike and new clothes, and the 44 of savings for a house for my mother. The opportunity was attracting, and I wanted to 45 at it.Then I realized I would have to 46 summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldnt be playing. I was 47 about this.When I told Coach Jarvis, he was as 48 as I expected him to be. “You have your whole life to work,” he said. “Your 49 days are limited. You cant afford to waste them.”I stood before him with my head 50 , trying to think of how to explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth 51 his disappointment in me.“How much are you going to make at this job?” he demanded.“$ 3.25 an hour,” I replied.“Well, is $ 3.25 an hour the price of a 52 ?” he asked.That 53 laid bare for me the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal. I devoted myself to 54 that summer, and within the year I was offered a $ 20,000 contract. I signed with the Denver Broncos in 1984 for $ 1.7 million, and bought my mother the 55 of my dreams.36AsomeBlittleCnoDmuch37AhappyBlovelyCangryDnoisy38AonlyBeverCstillDalmost39AteacherBcoachCdoctorDsportsman40AluckyBsatisfiedChopefulDsurprised41AtaughtBaskedCtoldDtrained42AmatchBstoryCmomentDincident43AjobBcampCholidayDcourse44AcauseBstartCneedDamount45AstandBcallClookDjump46Atake outBcut offCput onDgive up47AexcitedBcuriousCanxiousDdisappointed48AmadBpuzzledCregretfulDdiscouraged49AworkingBplayingClearningDshining50AshakingBhangingCholdingDnodding51AfeelingBsufferingCfacingDexpressing52AdreamBgameCchanceDlife53AofferBpriceCquestionDorder54AstudyBsportsChomeworkDbusiness55AclothesBbikeChouseDgoods3640 BACDA 4145 ADABD 4650 DCABB 5155 CACBC三阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）// 请阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项的标号涂黑。 CDear Edward,I have been very busy recently with some really exciting new developmentsIf you visit my main website you will see various new items thereThe first is a tab called Food for ThoughtThis is a short daily email which raises a question or makes a statement or provides something foryou to think aboutSome regular readers may find these emails quite basicHowever, you would agree with me that there are many people who reject anything spiritual simply because it means venturing(冒险进入) into the unknownThere is also a tab called Please Help MeI will be hosting tele-discussions soon-yes, and I am really excited about that!Here I ask you to propose topics for tele-discussionsIf you are concerned about missing out, dont worryThe proceeds will be recorded and made available as MP3 recordingsPlease let me know what burning issues you have or what you are curious about I am providing a free mystery gift to the value of 9.95 for each successful suggestionAnd please dont think your issue is meaningless-there may be a number of other people who may have the same issueYou may not be aware that I have also published a number of guided meditations(思考) on-linePlease have a look at this website for a free guided meditation as well as an explanation of what meditation is aboutAnd watch this space for more exciting things to come in the next monthI am now in a space where my hobby has become my work-how lucky can a girl be!I also want to thank you for your support and interest over the past years-you have helped me immensely on my own journeyLove and Light,Elsabe64What does the item “Food for Thought” mainly focus on?

more positive phenomenon-put pocketsAware that people are suffering in the economic crisis, 20 former pickpockets have turned over a new leaf and are now searching Londons tourist sites slipping money

runs until the end of August in London before being rolled out nationwide to major UK cities, is being funded by Talk Talk, which says it wants to brighten up peoples lives in unusual ways“It feels good to give something back for a change-and Britons certainly need it in the current economic climate,” said Chris Fitch, a former pickpocket who now heads Talk Talks put pocketing project“Every time I put money back in someones pocket, I feel less guilty about the fact I spent many years taking it out”“The activity will avoid the City and Canary Wharf financial areas as we want to give the money to those who actually need it” The put pockets have actually been told to avoid people that seem very well-offThe put pockets are given a specific ID to show to public if caught in the act, and have

launched in LondonCIt is good to give something back for a changeDVisitors need not look out for pickpockets any moreDDBBCWhy texting harms your IQThe regular use of text messages and e-mails can lower the IQ more than twice as much as smoking marijuana (大麻). That is the statement of researchers who have found that tapping away on a mobile phone or computer keypad or checking for electronic messages temporarily knocks up to 10 points off the users IQ. This rate of decline in intelligence compares unfavorably with the four-point drop in IQ associated with smoking marijuana, according to British researchers, who have described the phenomenon of improved stupidity as “infomania”. The research conducted by Hewlett Packard, the technology company, has concluded that it is mainly a problem for adult workers, especially men. It is concluded that too much use of modern technology can damage a persons mind. It can cause a constant distraction of “always on” technology when employees should be concentrating on what they are paid to do. Infomania means that they lose concentration as their minds remain fixed in an almost permanent state of readiness to react to technology instead of focusing on the task in hand. The report also added that, in a long term, the brain will be considerably shaped by what we do to it and by the experience of daily life. At a microcellular level, the complex networks of nerve cells that make up parts of the brain actually change in response to certain experiences. Too much use of modern technology can be damaging not only to a persons mind, but to their social relationship. 1100 adults were interviewed during the research. More than 62 per cent of them admitted that they were addicted to checking their e-mails and text messages so often that they scrutinized work-related ones even when at home or on holiday. Half said that they always responded immediately to an email and will even interrupt a meeting to do so. It is concluded that infomania is increasing stress and anxiety and affecting ones characteristics. Nine out of ten thought that colleagues who answered e-mails or messages during a face-to-face meeting were extremely rude. The effects on IQ were studied by Dr Glenn Wilson, a psychologist at University of London. “This is a very real and widespread phenomenon,” he said. “We have found that infomania will damage a workers performance by reducing their mental sharpness and changing their social life. Companies should encourage a more balanced and appropriate way of working.” 63. We can learn from the passage that “infomania” _. A. has a positive influence on ones IQ B. results in the change of part of the brain C. lies in the problem of lack of concentration D. is caused by too much use of modern technology64. The research mentioned in the passage is most probably about _. A. the important function of advanced technology B. the damage to ones brain done by unhealthy habits C. the relevance between IQ and use of modern technology D. the relationship between intelligence and working effectiveness65. The underlined word “scrutinized” probably means “_”. A. examined carefully B. copied patiently C. corrected quickly D. admitted freely66.

My own definitions would set fashion and clothing greatly apart. It is a fact that, in the shopping malls, there are plenty of beautiful garments whose unpredictability makes our life colorful and interesting. You are almost convinced: You can buy whatever you dare to think.There is no doubt that fashion designers are usually with high qualifications. They study fashion trends, select colors, and make sure the final production of their designs is done properly. However, as experience grew with age, my attraction to arts became ever stronger. I have a strong desire for clothing to stand as does paint to the painter, as does stone to the sculptor, as a simple and particular language of an individual creation, which draws the audience from an appreciation of the surface to deeper thoughts with the world of the soul. I believe that the most meaningful creative motives should arise through caring for other people, the great care of humanitya concern for human feeling and spirituality. This includes love, but it is bigger than love, and it is unconditional. I believe the greatest works of art can touch the deepest and strongest parts of human feelings and the world of the spirit, and only these works can be the memories of history, preserving the most valuable feelings that have ever existed, and inspiring a greater awareness of ourselves. I am not satisfied if people only appreciate clothing if it merely satisfies their desire. I believe clothing could be a specific creative langua
