Jersey in the 1960s we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep His name was Mr Basille He wore a white cap and drove a white truck As a 5 year old boy I couldn t take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer Of course he delivered more than milk There was cheese eggs and so on If we needed to change our order my mother would pen a note Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery and place it in the box along with the empty bottles And then the buttermilk would magically appear All of this was about more than convenience There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen Mr Basille even had a key to out house for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors so that the milk wouldn t freeze And I remember Mr Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table having a cup of tea and telling stories about his 5 delivery There is sadly no home milk delivery today Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete Besides milk is for sale everywhere and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service Recently an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories I took it home and planted it on the back porch 门廊 Every so often my son s friends will ask what it is So I start telling stories of my boyhood and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk 56 Mr Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer A to show his magical power B to pay for the delivery C to satisfy his curiosity D to please his mother 57 What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy s house A He wanted to have tea there B He was a respectable person C He was treated as a family member D He was fully trusted by the family 58 Why does home milk delivery no longer exist A Nobody wants to be a milkman now B It has been driven out of the market C Its service is getting poor D It is forbidden by law 59 Why did the author bring back home an old milk box A He missed the good old days B He wanted to tell interesting stories C He missed it for his milk bottles D He planted flowers in it B If you live in a city where everyone rushes realize that you don t have to be like everyone else You can be different I can t give you a step by step guide to moving slower but here are some things to consider and perhaps adopt if they work for your life 1 Do less Cut back on your projects on your task list on how much you try to do each day Focus not on quantity but on quality Pick 2 or 3 important things or even just one important thing and work on those first 2 Have fewer meetings Meetings are usually a big waste of time and make you rush Try to have blocks of time with no interruptions so you don t have to rush from one meeting to another 3 Give yourself time to get ready and get there If you re constantly rushing to appointments or other places you have to be it s because you don t allot 分配 enough time in your schedule for preparing and for traveling Pad your schedule to allow time for this stuff If you think 6 it only takes you 10 minutes to get ready for work or a date perhaps give yourself 30 to 45 minutes so you don t have to shave in a rush or put on makeup in the car 4 Practice being comfortable with sitting doing nothing When people have to wait they become impatient or uncomfortable Try standing in a line and just watching and listening w people around you It takes practice but after a while you ll do it with a smile 5 Realize that if it doesn t get done that s Ok There s always tomorrow And yes I know that s a frustrating attitude for some of you who don t like laziness or living without firm deadlines but it s also reality The world likely won t end if you don t get that task done today Your boss might get mad but the company won t collapse and the life will inevitably go on Try these things out Life is better when unrushed Remember the quote If nature can get everything done without rushing so can you 60 Which can be the best title of the passage A How to give out our life B How not to hurry in our life C What to do with our life D How to change our life 61 If you think you need 10 minutes to get ready for the date with your boyfriend A you don t have to put on makeup B you should arrange 10 minutes for it C you d better squeeze about 35 minutes out for it D you should rush there 62 According to the passage we can know A if we follow the author s advice our life will be better B we should try to do all the things better on our task list C there s always tomorrow so we can put off the thing that must be done today till tomorrow D even if we do as we re told by the author we can t change anything 63 The underlined word collapse has the similar meaning to A develop rapidly B pay enough C drop suddenly D fail completely C Global emissions 排放 of carbon dioxide from fossil fuel burning jumped by the largest amount on record in 2010 Emissions rose 5 9 percent in 2010 according to an analysis released on Sunday by the Global Carbon Project Scientists said the increase was almost certainly the largest absolute jump in any year since the Industrial Revolution The increase solidified a trend of ever rising emissions that will make it difficult if not impossible to stop severe climate change in coming decades The burning of coal represented more than half of the growth in emissions the analysis found In the United States emissions dropped by a remarkable 7 percent in the year of 2009 but rose by over 4 percent in 2010 the new analysis shows 7 Each year emissions go up and there s another year of negotiations another year of indecision said Glen P Peters a researcher at the Center for International Climate and Environmental Research There s no evidence that this path we ve been following in the last 10 years is going to change Scientists say the rapid growth of emissions is warming the Earth and putting human welfare at long term risk But their increasingly urgent pleas that society find a way to limit emissions have met sharp political resistance in many countries because doing so would involve higher energy costs The new figures show a continuation of a trend in which developing countries have surpassed 超过 the wealthy countries in their overall greenhouse emissions In 2010 the burning of fossil fuels and the production of cement 水 泥 sent more than nine billion tons of carbon into the atmosphere the new analysis found with 57 percent of that coming from developing countries On the surface the figures of recent years suggest that wealthy countries have made headway in stabilizing their emissions But Dr Peters pointed out that in a sense the rich countries have simply exported some of them The fast rise in developing countries has been caused to a large extent by the growth of energy intensive manufacturing industries that make goods that rich countries import All that has changed is the location in which the emissions are being produced Dr Peters said Many countries as part of their response to the economic crisis invested billions in programs designed to make their energy systems greener While it is possible the new numbers suggest they have had little effect so far 64 Many governments in the world resist limiting emissions because A it is not the best way to solve such problems B they don t realize the risks of carbon emissions C it would probably harm human welfare in the long run D they are unwilling to accept higher energy costs 65 According to Glen P Peters We can learn that A the rapid growth of emissions contributes to potential risks for humans B rich countries actually take more responsibility for the growth of emissions C human beings will follow the same path of negotiations in the next 10 years D some countries negotiate together yearly whether to reduce the amounts of emissions 66 Which of the following is TRUE according to the text A Emissions in the United States dropped by about 7 percent in 2010 B Developing countries will produce less emissions with economic development C There is a long way to go for many countries to limit the fast growth of emissions D Over 50 percent of the growth in emissions resulted from the burning of fossil fuels 67 The text mainly talks about A an analysis released by the Global Carbon Project 8 B the record jump in carbon dioxide emissions C the possible climate change in future decades D the main harm of greenhouse gases D D There is a new type of small advertisement becoming increasingly common in newspaper classified columns It is sometimes placed among situations vacant although it does not offer anyone a job and sometimes it appears among situations wanted although it is not placed by someone looking for a job either What it does is to offer help in applying for a job Contact us before writing your application or Make use of our long experience in preparing your curriculum vitae or job history is how it is usually expressed The growth and apparent success of such a specialized service is of course a reflection on the current high levels of unemployment It is also an indication of the growing importance of the CV with the suggestion that it may now qualify as an art form in its own right There was a time when job seekers simply wrote letters of application Just put down your name address age and whether you have passed any exams was about the average level of advice offered to young people applying for their first jobs when I left school The letter was really just for openers it was explained everything else could and should be saved for the interview And in those days of full employment the technique worked The letter proved that you could write and were available for work Your eager face and intelligent replies did the rest There is no doubt however that it is increasing number of applicants with university education at all points in the process of engaging staff that has led to the greater importance of the CV 68 The new type of advertisement which is appearing in newspaper column A informs job hunters of the opportunities available B promises to offer useful advice to those looking for employment C divides available jobs into various types D informs employers of the people available for work 69 Nowadays a demand for this specialized type of service has been created because A there is a lack of jobs available for artistic people B there are so many top level jobs available C there are so many people out of work D the CV is considered to be a work of art 70 In the past it was expected that first job hunters would A write an initial letter giving their life history B pass some exams before applying for a job C have no qualifications other than being able to read and write D keep any detailed information until they obtained an interview 71 The CV has become such an important document because A there has been an increase in the number of jobs advertised 9 B there has b
