Take a look at some breathtakingly beautiful island countries in the world, which everyone should certainly visit at least once in his lifetime.MaltaMalta is a beautiful southern European country in the Mediterranean Sea, which has a rich history and culture. There are amazing sky-high cliffs to climb, splendid temples to explore and lots of wonderful places to go scuba-diving. In fact, there are plenty of interesting things to see and to do in Malta and this island country has something for everyone. The historic part of Malta is shown in its incredible architecture, great walled cities, and many underground tunnels.FijiFiji is a fabulous island that has plenty of surprises for any adventurous travelers. It is famous for the worlds best surf scenes, and many surfing enthusiasts travel to Fiji yearly to ride the great waves. Well, if surfing is not for you and you love sitting on the beach and relaxing, hiking or seeing breathtaking waterfalls, Fiji is certainly the best island country to visit.MaldivesNot only is Maldives one of the most beautiful island countries, but it is one of the most popular honeymoon destinations. Situated in the middle of the Indian Ocean, Maldives is made up of a series of ancient coral reefs that grow up along the sides of ancient volcanoes, with fascinating beaches and luxurious resorts.21. In Malta, you can_. A. see breathtaking waterfalls B. explore temples and tunnels C. ride the great waves D. hike in the hills22. What is the special feature about Fiji? A. You can take a yacht free in this country.B. There are sky-high cliffs to climb.C. It is surfing enthusiasts favorite island country.D. If you once visited it, you wouldnt like to go there again. 23. If a newly-married couple are looking for the best honeymoon destination, they will choose_.A. Malta B. Fiji C. the Mediterranean Sea D. Maldives BTo be successful in any aspect of life, you need to know when to use the carrot or the stick. Here are a few tips to help you decide whether its better to use the carrot or the stick.With the kids The carrotWhen it comes to raising a kid, the carrot or the stick dilemma is quickly disappearing as too many parents take the carrot approach to the extreme. In child raising, the carrot shouldnever be materialistic things. If you want to ask for good behavior with a reward, it should bewith something that cant be bought, say, trust.The slick Nowadays, no one likes to use the stick any more, or in my fathers case, the belt. Im not overlooking child abuse, if you ever want to call it that, but I am encouraging parents to toughen up a bit. You dont want your kid to test your limits only to find out he canget away with it. If you want to raise a kid, raise the hand and let him know it comes down on the second offense.At the office The carrotPeople need encouragement and motivation to perform well. However, the carrot only really works well with employees who have already proved themselves. If youve got someone who cant show up at the office before noon, the promise of a raise isnt going to do much. On the contrary, if theres a guy with a good work moral, hell thrive（grow stronger）when you add a promotion to the picture.The slick When considering the carrot or the stick in the office, remember that, overall, the stick is the more practical method in the office. A wise man, who just happened to be anItalian once saidIts best to be both loved and feared.Its nice to have everyone love you,but running a business isnt like running a family.You need to have the stick constantly raised.With the wifeThe carrotWhen it comes to marriage,always use the carrot.Ive had a lovely marriage for manyyears,and Ive always stuck to the carrot approach.Sometimes you catch more flies withhoney,and sometimes its the crack of a whip(鞭子) that gets the horse moving.Try not to use too many sticks at home;the carrot is much more fun.24.What is the best title of this passage?A.The Carrot or the Stick?B.The Introduction to the Carrot and the StickC.Tips in the Daily LifeD.The Advantages of the Carrot and the Stick25.In kids raising,the author prefers_.A.the carrot approachB.the stick approachC.both the carrot approach and the stick approachD.neither the carrot approach nor the stick approach26.Which do you think is the best to be a good boss at the office?A.Always using carrots.B.Eating a lot of carrots.C.Being both loved and feared.D.Using too many sticks.27.Which is NOT true according to the passage?A.The author often gives more carrots to his wife to eat at home.B.The carrot is much more fun when it comes to marriage.C.On different occasions,the carrot or the stick is effective.D You need the stick to get your horses to move faster occasionally.CIn order to increase their job chances after college, Chinese students are turning to a special practiceEiffel Tower nose jobs(鼻整形手术).The latest trend in plastic surgery promises to create a nose that is similar to the curve of the Eiffel Tower.Surgeon Wang Xuming said: “We are influenced by the beauty of the Eiffel Tower. We are not content to just add something to the nose; we reconstruct it.” The surgery costs about US$ 10,000 and involves the enlarging of the nose using tissue from the forehead.Hundreds of posters advertising the procedure are put up all over Chongqing city, where surgeon Xuming runs his private practice. They show a Western-looking woman with an almost-too-perfect nose, against an outline of the Eiffel Tower.Interestingly, many young women in China are eager to achieve a western appearance, as they believe it will give them an advantage in the highly competitive job market. “Some students face a lot of employment pressure after graduation. If their facial features are good, theyll have more chances of finding a job,” said surgeon Xuming. “Weve had students getting the Eiffel Tower nose; its helped them a lot.”Apparently, Chinese employers are quite particular about appearances and prefer attractive candidates. Some of them even go as far as putting height and weight requirements in their employment ads. Plastic surgeons across the country are reporting an increase in the number of students choosing beauty “improvement”.According to a Mr. Li, hospital manager at surgeon Xumings clinic, most of their customers are female and the bill is taken care of by the family. “They usually come in with their mothers, and tend to be from well-off backgrounds.” he said.Personally, I dont think it so important to “improve” our appearance as long as we are skilled at our jobs. We cant decide how we look, but we can decide how well we live and work.28. Chinese college students choose to have a nose operation to _ .A. marry well B. look cool C. have a good job D. look like westerners29. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?A. The posters. B. A nose job. C. The Eiffel Tower. D. A plastic surgery procedure.30. It can be inferred from Paragraph 5 that _.A. employers are potential customers B. attractive appearance seems to increase job chances C. appearance is as important as height and weightD. ads promote the plastic surgery31. From what Mr. Li said we can learn that _.A. most families cant afford the surgeon B. the number of plastic surgeons is increasingC. patients can be well looked after at the clinic D. their customers are usually from wealthy families DSquare dancing is a form of entertainment and physical exercise, which is a good thing. However, a group of senior Chinese ladies dancing in New Yorks Sunset Park were recently faced with noise complaints from nearby residents. The local court even served a summons (传票) related to a certain Ms. Wang.The news soon caused heated discussion across China, with many believing the incident to involve a cultural conflict between the East and West, while others view it as a form of discrimination against Chinese in the United States.The United States is a diverse society, and in many cases, Chinese dancers are tolerated and even appreciated.Meanwhile, the United States is a society based on the rule of law, and due to cultural differences, local regulations seem to be very different from those in China. As a result, some old Chinese ladies dancing in New Yorks Sunset Park found themselves caught in an embarrassing situation. Locals and immigrants from other nations view such noise as a violation of their right to enjoy tranquility. Calling the police is regarded as the most efficient way to solve such a problem.Before, these ladies probably did not understand local customs and rules. However, since the incident took place, they should perhaps know a little better next time and keep the noise to a minimum. People from different nations are often supposed to reach compromises, respecting and tolerating each other.Whatever your choice of entertainment, it is important not to affect other peoples lives. Square dancing is only one of many activities during which people should mind their behavior.As for U.S. police practice, there might still be some room for improvement. Some were said to be rather rude, leading to the so-called “racial discrimination,” which is a sensitive topic in U.S. society.If the involved parties could be more tolerant, and solve such problems without involving the court, perhaps immigrants would mix more.32. The writer mentions the incident in Paragraph 1 to _. A. show his opinion B. make complaintsC. bring up the topic D. criticize the local police33. The underlined word “tranquility” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by _. A. entertainment B. quietness C. freedom D. quality34. What will the senior Chinese ladies most probably do after the incident? A. Go back to China. B. Fight for their right. C. Ask America to change its law. D. Keep the noise lower.35. Whats the writers attitude towards senior Chinese ladies dancing in New Yorks Sunset Park? A. He thinks all parties involved should be more tolerant. B. He strongly supports the action of the local police. C. He considers it a shame for senior Chinese ladies to do so. D. He suggests such kind of problem should be solved in the court. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分1 0分）Although problems are a part of our lives，it certainly doesnt mean that we let them rule our lives forever.One day or the other,youll have to stand up and say problem,I dont want you in my life. 36 Problems with friends,parents,girlfriends,husbands,and children the list goes on.Apart from these,the inner conflicts within ourselves work,too.These keep adding to our problems.Problems come in different shapes and colors and feelings.But good news is that all problems can be dealt with.Now read on to know how to solve your problems.Talk,it really helps.What most of us think is that our problem can be understood only by us and that no talking is going to help. 37 Talking helps you move on and let go.Write your problems. 38 When you write down your problems,you are setting free all the tension from your system.You can try throwing away the paper on which you wrote your problems.By doing this,imagine yourself throwing away the problems from your life.Dont lose faith and hope.No matter what you lose in life,dont lose faith and hope.Even if you lose all your money,familyyou should still have faith. 39 Your problems arent the worst.

I was making sandwiches and balancing the phone between my shoulder and chin. The washing machine sounded as my husband walked in with our daughters. We had only about twenty minutes to eat _41_ we had to take the girls to their next activity. My husband seemed a bit _42_ that dinner was not on the table. That night, I had a heavy _43_, thinking we were becoming taskmasters on an assembly line (流水线). We had become too _44_ in our own tasks and not very considerate towards those around us. We needed to do something to bring back some meaning into our lives. It needed to be something that would _45_ our own agendas and energize us toward the common good. I bought a notebook, named it “Our Deed Diary” and held a family meeting. I told my family I wanted us all to think about doing a _46_ for others every day. It could be for each other or for people outside our_47_. And we all needed to write it down in the notebook. I thought one deed a day was too easy. However, it was actually _48_ than it seemed because it had to be something _49_what we had already done. Sending birthday cards to people we already sent cards to every year would not _50_. We had a rough _51_. On some days, someone would forget to _52_ a good deed, while on other days, we would forget to write our good deeds in the diary. After a few weeks though, I found myself waking up in the morning trying to _53_what good deed I could do for someone that day. My daughters began to rush to me after school to _54_me the good deed they had done. Now, after a year, I am happy to say that it is making a(n) _55_ in our lives. Instead of always _56_ what the day will bring for us, we think about what we can do for someone else. Who would have thought that trying to do a sim
