This thought was recently offered by Bruno to explain the origin of The Art of Living Slowly, an organization that he founded two years ago, with his wife, Ella.Bruno and Ella said they decided to draw more peoples attention to the overlooked idea that time is wealth. On February 19th last year, they created a new holiday, the first Global Day of Slow Living. Despite its ambitions name, the event was limited almost entirely to Italy, where the couple arranged a number of events: a reverse bicycle race the last rider was declared the winner; an afternoon of grandfathers reading poetry to children etc. One Monday in late February, 2008, the couple staged a New York version of the Day of Slow Living. It has to be a Monday, the worst day to try to slow down. Bruno explained.Bruno was wearing a police cap, mirrored sunglasses, and a sandwich board stating, Caution!Speed - walking camera is in action! He flagged down passers-by and handed them postcards printed with fourteen slowmandments. For example, No. 4: Write your text message on your cell phone with no symbols and get in the habit of starting with Dear . No 7: Avoid being so busy that you dont have time for yourself. Bruno told the passers- by to read them once a day and keep the doctor away.Many said, I cant do this. New York is too fast. Bruno admitted. But many stopped, they read and said. This one is good for me, because trying to slow down is like trying to stop smoking.When asked about their plans for the future. Bruno and Ella looked at each other and chanted the name of the city they have chosen for next years Global Day of Slow Living, Tokyo!36. The Art of Living Slowly was founded to help people .Aunderstand the truth of life.Bknow the difficulty in managing timeCavoid being in a hurry all the timeDmake friends with the same problem37. What did Bruno do in New York?AHe advertised his idea on a sandwich board.BHe stopped passers - by and delivered postcards.CHe served as a policeman to prevent accidents.DHe took photos for the people who walked fast.38. Which statement may be included in the fourteen slowmandments in paragraph 3?AWake up five minutes earlier.BDo two things at the same time.CMake a habit of writing letters.DDont work on weekends and relax.39. What can be inferred from the passage?AThe new holiday is usually celebrated on a fixed day.BItalian grandfathers enjoy reading poetry to children.CThe couple tend to choose busy cities to promote the idea.DNew Yorkers have a negative attitude towards slow living.BThe other day at the supermarket, I saw a naughty child of about six crying loudly, falling to the floor and refusing to move. All the while the troubled mother was trying to persuade him to behave well but failed. A little smack (掴打) on his bottom would have done the job, I thought. Teenagers also cause discipline problems. As a teacher I had a 16-year-old student who had fallen in love with a waiter at a fast-food restaurant. In fact, she had left home to stay with him. So we decided to put her in the school hostel. She refused. When she heard her mother begging her to stay in the hostel she turned round and said: “Why dont you stay in the hostel if you like it so much?” My palms were itching to slap her for being so rude but the poor mother continued to cajole her, hoping that gentle persuasion would work wonders. It did not. The last I heard, she had run away from home again. The list goes on and on. Could it be that todays parents are softer and believe that they must not rod (棍棒惩罚) their children for fear of the bad result? Or do they actually believe that the children will get rid of the bad habits and behave well naturally as they grow older? I beg to disagree. I believe it is the parents duty to discipline the children even at a young age. My children who are now adults will prove the fact that I used the rod when I thought it necessary. Later when they went abroad, they related to their British university friends on how they were disciplined. Their friends abroad were filled with horror and told my daughter that I could be charged for child abuse (虐待). However, my daughter paid me the greatest compliment when she told them that she would not be where she was today if not for my strict discipline.40. According to the passage, the author would probably _. A. beat the children every day B. treat the children in a softer way C. 1eave the children as they are D. punish the children when necessary41.

Protect KidsC Dog walkers provide a 20 to 60-minute daily walk for a clients(客户) dog, making sure the dog answers the call of nature and gets proper exercise. They often walk more than one dog at a time. Some walkers work for dog-walking services, especially when starting out. Others have their own businesses, and build by word of mouth and advertising. Dog walkers often work part-time, and some provide other services like pet sitting or transporting.In N.Y.City, dog walkers usually earn about $25 an hour. If you work for a dog-walking business, you may earn less-if you are on your own dealing with several dogs at the same time, it may be more.What do you have to do to be a dog walker?First, have a real love of dogs, and have a good knowledge of how to get on with dogs. Try calling dog-walking services to find out about openings. If youre on your own, youll need to network and market yourself. You might advertise your services in pet offices ,grooming businesses, or neighborhood papers.You will need business cards and a mobile phone, and have good references and a clean background. Youll also have to deal with taxes and insurance. You should be physically fit ,friendly, neatly dressed and extremely dependable. Many dog walkers are bonded(被担保的) and insured, and this is a definite selling point to clients. Of course, you will be cleaning up dog waste! You will also be outside in all kinds of weather. You may have to deal with dogs that dont like each other, and difficult owners. Its also an up and down kind of business-clients can come and go. For pet lovers, spending the workday with dogs instead of navigating office politics is its own reward! You are your own boss-you can dress casually, your doggy clients will love you unconditionally, and youll get some great exercise!44.By writing the passage the writer tries to_.A. introduce you to a job B.enrich your knowledge about petsC. advertise for a business D. tell you more about life in New York.45.The passage offers no information about how to _as a dog walker.A. find a client B. train a dog C. get prepared D. make more money46.

The starter fired the starting signal and the race got under way. The athletes pushed their wheelchairs at amazing speeds along the track. The crowd cheered and the winner raised his hands in victory. This race is just one of the events that take place at the Paralympic Games. These games are an international sporting event for athletes who are physically disabled. They take place every four years just after the Olympic Games and are usually held in the same place. The name “Paralympic” comes from the Latin word “para” meaning “with”. and the word “Olympic” which comes from the name of the Greek city where the first Olympic Games were held. The idea of a sports competition for disabled people dates back to the Second World War. The British Stoke Mandeville Hospital, which looked after wounded soldiers and pilots with back problems, held a sports event in 1 948 as part of the treatment for their in juries, three years later, a group of competitors from Holland joined the Games and the idea of an international competition was born. The first Paralympic Games were held in Rome in 1 960Four hundred athletes from 23 countries took part. In 1 976, the first Winter Paralympics were held for disabled athletes in winter sports. In 2008, the largest Paralympics so far was held in Beijing, China. More than four thousand athletes from 1 47 countries competed in basketball, swimming, table tennis, wheelchair racing and some other 1 6 sports. The main purpose of the Paralympics is to recognize the participantsathletic achievement rather than their disabilities. To win a medal at the Paralympics requires the same skill, dedication, and determination as at the Olympic Games. The success of the Paralympics has made sport popular among many people with disabilities. Taking part in sport provides many benefits to disabled people.

DDisabled people get over by taking part in sports. 51The last paragraph is mainly about .Athe success of the Paralympic Games Bthe benefits of sport for the disabledCthe popularity of the Paralympic Games Dthe purpose of the Paralympic Games E Fear and its companion pain are two of the most useful things that man and animals possess if they are used. If fire didnt hurt when it burned, children would play with it until their hands were burned away. Similarly, if pain existed but fear didnt, a child could burn itself again and again because fear would not warn it to keep away from the fire that had burnt it before. A really fearless soldierand some do existis not a good soldier because he is soon killed; and a dead soldier is of no use to his army. Fear and pain are therefore two guards without which man and animals might soon die out. In our first sentence we suggested that fear ought to be properly used. If, for example, you never go out of your house because of the danger of being knocked down and killed in the street by a car, you are letting fear rule you too much. The important thing is not to let fear rule you, but instead, to use fear as your serv
