Liverpool my hometown is a unique city It is so unique that in 2004 it became a World Heritage 遗产 Site I recently returned to my home city and my first stop was at a museum on the River Mersey Blanketed in mist Victorian architecture rose from the banks of the river responded to the sounds of sea birds and appeared unbelievably charming When I headed toward the center I found myself surrounded by buildings that mirror the best palaces of Europe It is not hard to imagine why on first seeing the city most visitors would be overpowered by the beauty of the noble buildings which are solid signs of Liverpool s history As if to stress its cultural role Liverpool has more museums and art galleries than most cities in Britain At Walker Art Gallery I was told that it has the best collections of Victorian paintings in the world and is the home of modern art in the north of England However culture is more than galleries Liverpool offers many music events As Britain s No 1 music city it has the biggest city music festival in Europe and its musicians are famous all over the world Liverpool is also well known for its football and other sports events Every year the Mersey River Festival attracts thousands of visitors making the city a place of wonder As you would expect from such a city there are restaurants serving food from around the world When my trip was about to complete I chose to rest my legs in Liverpool s famous Philharmonic pub 酒馆 It is a monument to perfection and a heritage attraction itself Being a World Heritage Site my home city is certainly a place of outstanding universal value It is a treasure house with plenty of secrets for the world to explore 51 Visitors who see the city for the first time would be deeply impressed by A its charming banksB

traditional B there are usually more cultural activities in September than in any other month C most of the cultural activities in Beijing are for foreign visitors only D we can enjoy a large variety of cultural activities in Beijing C C Sadness is unpleasant and in a society where personal happiness is prized above all else there is little tolerance for falling in despair Especially now we ve got drugs for getting rid of sad feelings whether it s after losing a job the break up of a relationship or the death of a loved one So it s no surprise that more and more people are taking them But is this really such a good idea A growing number of voices from the world of mental health research are saying it isn t They fear that the increasing tendency to treat normal sadness as a disease is playing fast and loose 行为轻率 Sadness they argue serves a useful purpose and if we lose it we lose out Yet many psychiatrists 精神病医生 insist not Sadness has a nasty habit of turning into depression they warn Even when people are sad for good reason they should take drugs to make themselves feel better So who is right Is sadness something we cannot live without or something horrible never to touch There are lots of ideas about why feeling sad should become part of human life It may be a self protection strategy as other primates 灵长类 also show signs of sadness A losing monkey that doesn t show sadness after it loses a fight may be seen as continuing to challenge the winning monkey and that could finally result in death In humans sadness has a further function we may display sadness as a form of communication By acting sad we tell other community members that we need support Then there is the idea that creativity is connected to dark moods There are plenty of great artists writers and musicians who have suffered from depression or disorder Scientists find that people with signs of depression perform better at a creative task and that negative moods make people think deeply over the unhappy experience which allows creative processes to come to the front There is also evidence that too much happiness can be bad for your career A doctor found that people who scored 8 out 10 on a happiness test were 8 most successful in income and education than 9s or 10s The happiest people lose their willingness to make changes to their lives that may benefit them 58 The underlines word this refers to A taking drugs B falling in despair C losing a jobD feeling sad 59 The author believes sadness is A a good thing for people s healthB something horrible never to touch C a necessary function of humansD always to be treated as depression 60 Some animals show their sadness in order to A cheat their enemyB protect themselves C comfort the loserD challenge the winner 61 We can infer from the last paragraph that A people with great creativity tend to be happier B unhappy experiences contribute to a greater career C too much happiness can be bad for your career D the happiest people are the most successful ones D D It had been some time since Jack had seen the old man College career and life itself got in the way In fact Jack moved clear across the country in pursuit of his dreams There in the rush of his busy life Jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his wife and son He was working on his future and nothing could stop him Over the telephone his mother told him Mr Belser died last night The funeral is on Wednesday Memories flashed through his mind like an old newsreel as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days Jack did you hear me Oh sorry Mom Yes I heard you It s been so long since I thought of him I m sorry but I honestly thought he died years ago Jack said Well he didn t forget you Every time I saw him he d ask how you were doing He d reminisce 回忆 about the many days you spent over his side of the fence s as he put it Mon told him I loved that old house he lived in Jack said You know Jack after your father died Mr Belser stepped in to make sure you had a man s influence in your life she said He s the one who taught me carpentry I wouldn t be in this business if it weren t for him He spent a lot of time teaching me things he thought were important Mon I ll be there for the funeral Jack said Busy as he was he kept his word Jack caught the next flight to his hometown Mr Belser s funeral was small and uneventful He had no children of his own and most of his relatives had passed away The night before he had to return home Jack and Mom stopped by to see the old house next door one more time which was exactly as he remembered Every 9 step held memories Every picture every piece of furniture Jack stopped suddenly What s wrong Jack his Mom asked The box is gone he said What box Mom asked There was a small gold box that he kept locked on the top of his desk I must have asked him a thousand times what was inside All he d ever tell me was the thing I value most Jack said It was gone Everything about the house was exactly how Jack remembered it except for the box He figured someone from the Belser family had taken it Now I ll never know what was so valuable to him Jack said sadly Returning to his office the next day he found a package on his desk The return address caught his attention Mr Harold Belser it read Jack tore open the package There inside was the gold box and an envelope Jack s hands shook as he read the note inside Upon my death please forward this box and its contents to Jack Bennett It s the thing I valued most in my life A small key was taped to the letter His heart racing and tears filling his eyes Jack carefully unlocked the box There inside he found a beautiful gold pocket watch Running his fingers slowly over the fine cover he opened it Inside he found these words carved Jack thanks for your time Harold Belser Oh My God This is the thing he valued most Jack held the watch for a few minutes then called his assistant and cleared his appointments for the next two days Why his assistant asked I need some time to spend with my son he said 62 Why did Jack think Mr Belser died years ago A College and career prevented him from remembering Mr Belser B Jack
