to the end of September Volvo s global sales volume was up 12 5 percent year on year 同年比 compared with 52 percent year on year rise in China he said Two new Volvo sales centers opened in Beijing within merely one week in early October about two months after east China s Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co acquired the Swedish brand from the US auto giant Ford for 1 5 billion in early August Klose said he was confident of seeing tremendous growth in China s auto 6 market in the next five years As the Chinese government has increased the tax rate for large displacement 排量 cars already we now have a lot of cars below three liters and I think we ll stick to that strategy as you can see now the XC60 which was introduced today is just two liters he said As the technology advances we ll probably even see 1 6 liter engines or 1 5 liter engines in the future he added Volvo Cars is not the only automaker hoping to take advantage of China s rapidly growing auto market Bentley the famous

Zenith Saturday at the auto show Zenith is the public relations agent of Bentley in China The automaker has sold 421 limousines 大 型豪华轿车 to China in 2011 and the goal for 2012 is 777 the release said 56 The word underlined in the third paragraph would probably be A shouted loudly B increased in large numbers C reduced rapidly D burned brightly 57 From this passage we can infer that A The Ninth Tianjin International Automobile Trade Show was held from Friday to Wednesday B Volvo Cars is a world famous carmaker in Britain C Of all the auto sales volume Volvo sales volume is only number one in China D Volvo sales centers are developing very fast in China recently 58 The text is mainly about A China Becomes Volvo s 3rd Largest Market B Volvo Cars produced in China C Volvo Sales Volume in

sometimes but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours This kind of loneliness is not serious In fact it is quite normal For some people though loneliness can last for years Now researchers say loneliness comes in three different types The first kind of loneliness is temporary This is the most common type It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention The second kind is situation for example family problem the death of a loved one or moving to a new place Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems such as headaches and sleeplessness it usually does 7 not last for more than a year The third kind of loneliness is the most serious Unlike the second type chronic the opposite of temporary usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause People who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing and becoming close to others Unfortunately many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition Psychologists agree that one important factor in loneliness is a person s social contacts for example friends family members co workers etc We depend on various people for different reasons For instance our family give us emotional support our parents and teachers give us guidance and our friends share similar interests and activities However psychologists have found that though lonely people may have many social contacts they sometimes feel they should have more They question their popularity Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness such as heart disease while temporary and situational loneliness can be a sad and sometimes dangerous condition 60 How would you treat temporary loneliness according to the passage A Talk to friends B Go to see a doctor C Just ignore it D Ask your teacher for guidance 61 Why do psychologists want to help chronically lonely people A Chronic loneliness can cause family problems B Chronic loneliness is incurable C Chronic loneliness can not be overcome D Chronic loneliness call cause serious illness 62 Loneliness is divided according to A the time it lasts B the places where it appears C different people it happen to D different seasons when it appears C C The young boy saw me or rather he saw the car and quickly ran up to me eager to sell his bunches of bananas and bags of peanuts Though he appeared to be about twelve he seemed to have already known the bitterness of life Banana 300 naira Peanuts 200 naira He said in a low voice I bargained 8 him down to 200 total for the fruit and nuts When he agreed I handed him a 500 naira bill He didn t have change so I told him not to worry He said thanks and smiled a row of perfect teeth When two weeks later I saw the boy again I was more aware of my position in a society where it s not that uncommon to see a little boy who should be in school standing on the corner selling fruit in the burning sun My parents had raised me to be aware of the advantage we had been afforded and the responsibility it brought to us I pulled over and rolled down my window He had a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts ready I waved them away What s up I asked him I I don t have money to buy books for school I reached into my pocket and handed him two fresh 500 naira bills Will this help I asked He looked around nervously before taking the money One thousand naira was a lot of money to someone whose family probably made about 5 000 naira or less each year Thank you sir he said Thank you very much When driving home I wondered if my little friend actually used the money for school books What if he s a cheat And then I wondered why I did it Did I do it to make myself feel better Was I using him Later I realized that I didn t know his name or the least bit about him nor did I think to ask Over the next six months I was busy working in a news agency in northern Nigeria Sometime after I returned I went out for a drive When I was about to pull over the boy suddenly appeared by my window with a big smile ready on his face Oh gosh Long time Are you in school now I asked He nodded That s good I said A silence fell as we looked at each other and then I realized what he wanted Here I held out a 500 naira bill Take this He shook his head and stepped back as if hurt What s wrong I asked It s a gift He shook his head again and brought his hand from behind his back His face shone with sweat He dropped a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts in the front seat before he said I ve been waiting to give these to you 63 What was the author s first impression of the boy A He seemed to be poor and greedy B He seemed to have suffered a lot C He seemed younger than his age D He seemed good at bargaining 64 The second time the author met the boy the boy A told him his purpose of selling fruit and nuts B wanted to express his thanks C asked him for money for his schoolbooks D tried to take advantage of him 9 65 Why did the author give his money to the boy A Because he had enough money to do that B Because he had learnt to help others since childhood C Because he held a higher position in the society D Because he had been asked by the news agency to do so 66 Which of the following best describes the boy A Brave and polite B Kind and smart C Honest and thankful D Shy and nervous D D Some children are natural born bosses They have a strong need to make decisions manage their environment and lead rather than follow Stephen Jackson a Year One student operates under the theory of what s mine is mine and what s yours is mine says his mother The other day I bought two new Star Wars light sabers 剑 Later I saw Stephen with the two new ones while his brother was using the beat up ones Examine the extended family and you ll probably find a bossy grandparent aunt uncle or cousin in every generation It s an inheritableinheritable traittrait says Russell Barkley a professor at the Medical University of South Carolina Other children who may not be particularly bossy can gradually gain dominance 支配地位 when they sense their parents are weak hesitant or in disagreement with each other Whether it s inborn nature or developed character at work too much control in the hands of the young isn t healthy for children or the family Fear is at the root of a lot of bossy behavior says family psychologist John Taylor Children he says in his book From Defiance to Cooperation have secret feelings of weakness and a desire to feel safe It s the parents role to provide that protection When a boss child doesn t learn limits at home the stage is set for a host of troubles outside the family The overly willful and unbending child may have trouble obeying teachers or coaches for example or trouble keeping friends It can be pretty lonely as the top dog if no one likes your bossy ways I see more and more parents giving up their power says Barkley who has studied bossy behavior for more than 30 years They bend too far because they don t want to be as strict as their own parents were But they also feel 10 less confident about their parenting skills Their kids in turn feel more anxious 67 Bossy children like Stephen Jackson A ma
