But please take it easy. Your score wont have the final say in your future career, according to a recent survey. Chinas first report that is about lives of the top students getting the highest score on past national college entrance exam came out last Monday. It finds that not all of them have become winners in college and career. “Most of the successful career men werent the best of their classes,” said the report. “However, the most important thing is that they should have creativity and the courage for exploration.” The National College Entrance Exam was first held in 1977. Thirty years later, the report is expected to help Senior 3 students to decide on their university choices rationally (理性的). A group of experts spent eight months covering every part of China except Tibet, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan and researching into the lives of the top students. They found that among all the 560 top scorers from 1999 2006, girls are leading boys with a narrow majority, accounting for about 50.27 percent. They have a bigger majority in the number of art majors, at 63 percent. But among those science majors, boys take the lead with 64.78 percent. The new trend after 2005 to study in Hong Kong is also included. According to the report, in the past two years, 18 leading students went to Hong Kong. The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology takes the fourth place on the list of universities the most top students chose, following Beida (Peking), Tsinghua and Fudan. However, experts are worried by the fact that the majors the top scorers chose are very limited. Four out of five top students went to popular majors, like economic management and computer science. But other majors closely related to social development, like medicine and astronomy, failed to attract any of the very best. “Most of the students choices were based on a desire for fame and wealth, instead of their interest in the subject. That would lower their chances for career success, as well as undermine(削弱) the hopes of our country.” said Cai Yanhou, a professor with Central South University.56. The underlined phrase “accounting for” can be replaced by .A. explaining B. adding to C. taking up D. being at least57. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? A. Its 30 years since the National College Entrance Exam was first held in 1977. B. All the top scorers are not successful in their jobs and colleges. C. Hong Kong University takes the fourth place on the list of universities the most top students chose in the past 2 years. D. The survey indicates that the students final scores cant decide upon their future.58. From what Cai Yanhou has said, what can we infer? A. Most students real interest is fame and wealth. B. Most students choices tend to be practical. C. Students want to lower their chances for career success. D. Students choices would be good to our country.59. The purpose of the writer is to . A. make the readers work or study harder to get higher scores. B. tell us how the top scorers choose universities and majors C. introduce several aspects of the top scorers in the past 30 years D. persuade the top scorers to choose more varieties of majors.BMUSEUM OF TRANSPORTBOYLE St, CHEETHAM, MANCHESTER Tel. 0161 205 2122Enjoy a trip to the Museum of Transport, a working museum displaying the development of road public transport in Manchester.

When a hungry man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat, when a manager gets a new sports car, a big house and pleasure boats dance into view. The many needs of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. When there is money enough to satisfy one level of needs, another level appears. The first and most basic level of needs involves food. Once this level is satisfied, the second level of needs, clothing and some sort of shelter, appears. By the end of World War II, these needs were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third level appeared. It included such items as automobiles and new houses. By 1957 or 1958 this third level of needs was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s, a fourth level of needs appeared: the life-enriching level. While the other levels involve physical satisfaction, that is, the feed in comfort, safety, and transportation, this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement, and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called luxury items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical and dental care, and recreation. Also included here are fancy goods and the latest styles in clothing. On the fourth level, a lot of money is spent on services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of needs as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level? A fifth level would probably involve needs that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime, and prejudice. After filling our stomachs, our clothes closets, our garages, our teeth, and our minds, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure to enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.64. According to the passage, man will begin to think about such needs as housing and clothing only when _.A. he has saved up enough moneyB. he has grown dissatisfied with his simple shelterC. he has satisfied his hungerD. he has learned to build houses65. It can be inferred from the passage that by the end of World War II, most Americans _.A. were very rich B. lived in povertyC. had the good things on the first three levels D. did not own automobiles66. Which of the following is NOT related to physical satisfaction?A. A successful career. B. A comfortable home.C. A good meal. D. A family car. 67. What is the main concern of man on the fourth level?A. The more goods the better.B. The more mental satisfaction the better.C. The more luxury items the better.D. The more earnings the better.DJapans deadliest tornado on record tore through a northern town last Tuesday, killing nine and leaving one woman unconscious. About 40 others were injured, police said.The tornado also knocked out electricity to hundreds of homes and turned over cars in Saroma on the northern island of Hokkaido.Local television networks said it was one of the strongest tornadoes to hit Japan since World War . Wind speed reached 250 kilometers per hour.It was another example of mans helplessness when faced with the power of nature. Natural forces have greatly affected human history. Here are some top examples:1. In the 13th century, Kublai Khan, the Yuan Dynasty emperor, set his sights on conquering Japan. But he was defeated by not one, but two typhoons. The Japanese called them kamikaze or “divine winds” (神风). The strong winds caused big waves that sank Kublai Khans fleet.2. When George Washingtons American army met the British at Long Island in 1776, the Americans should have been defeated. They were mainly volunteers, without uniforms or basic weapons. Fortunately, a thick fog allowed the Americans to retreat(撤退) unseen and they were able to fight another day. Nature had played its role in the birth of the United States.3. In 1812, Napoleon con
