All over the world, men and women, young and old, enjoy recreational activities. So, beyond doubt, entertainment plays an important role in our daily lives. In modern society, there is a broad range of recreational activities from online computer games to lovely picnics that meet the needs of different groups of people. Therefore, it wont be difficult for you to find some recreation to refresh your body and mind.Recreational activities have a number of benefits, especially in this highly competitive society. They can help us relax, have fun and relieve stress. In fact, I believe there is no better way to get exercise and relieve stress than to take an active part in recreational activities. But can recreational activities do us harm? Of course they can. Lets take TV as an example. There is no denying that TV offers access to the latest news and to useful knowledge, while providing us with entertainment. However, if we spend too much time watching TV, it will numb our mind and destroy our creativity, which is exactly the opposite of what we really want. Whats more, TV can also show some pornographic programs, which are absolutely unsuitable for us young students. So, just as the old saying goes, every coin has two sides, and watching TV is no exception.As a student, I think recreational activities are very important for us. But this doesnt mean we should take up whatever recreational activities are available. Instead, we should strike a balance between work and rest. We should have our own judgment, which means knowing what is good for us and what is not. And we should exercise self-control so as not to become addicted to them. I believe moderate recreational activity will benefit us in many ways and help us live a full, meaningful life.51. Why does entertainment play an important role in peoples daily lives?A. Because online computer games are popular with people.B. Because entertainment can help people have fun instead of relieving stress.C. Because people of all ages enjoy recreational activities.D. Because it is easy and convenient to take up any recreational activity.52. Which of the following statements is not counted as the disadvantage of TV?A. People are addicted to watching TV.B. TV provides people with the latest news.C. Some programs are unsuitable for young students.D. Spending too much time on it may destroy peoples creativity53. In the authors opinion, what is the proper attitude to recreational activities?A. Spending as much time as we like watching TV.B. Taking part in any recreational activities available.C. Learning to control ourselves about entertainment.D. Benefiting us by taking part in different activities.BJust as the stock（股票）market rises and falls in response to what people are willing to put their money behind，we have inside ourselves an inner economy that rises and falls in response to our beliefs about what is possibleSometimes the degree to which we are willing to challenge our belief systems determines the success of our inner economy. For example，imagine that your family of origin had a belief that musical talent was not something they possessedAs a member of that group，you would likely hold that stable belief about yourselfAs a result，even if you had a great desire to create music，you might be hesitant to really get behind yourself, fearing that your investment（投资）would not pay offEven if you had the courage to follow your passionyour inner belief that you are not born talented would probably be a major obstacle to investing your energy in your dreamOn the other handIf you found a way to release that negative belief, a great flood of energy would pour forth，greatly increasing the likelihood of your successHow much energy we are willing to invest in the various ideas，dreams，and visions we carry within is like the money people are，or are not，willing to invest in the various products available for wade on the stock market. And in both cases，belief plays a key role in determining how willing we are to get behind somethingOne way to open up the possibility for greater success in our inner economies is to understand that belief is not the reliable guide we sometimes thinkThere are other more reliable things of success that we can put our faith in，such as passion，feeling，and senseSome of the most successful investors in the stock market are the ones that go against the gain. Trusting their sense over the common opinion held by common people about what will workIn the same way, we can learn to trust our hearts desires and our sense to guide us. Questioning any beliefs that stand in the way of our ability to fully invest in ourselvesAs we take out energy from limiting ideas about what is possible，we free up the resources that have the power to make our inner economy prosper54We can safely conclude from the first paragraph thatA. our belief is not reliableB. belief is not so important in our successC. belief is an obstacle to our SuccessD. our belief determines our Success in some way55. According to the passage，if a family of origin has passion for literature，the members of the family will probablyAwrite poemsBhate statuesCenter the field of literatureDteach literature56We can put our faith in the following things of success except Apassion Bfeeding Csense Dstock market57The purpose of the author is Ato teaches a lessonBto give us some useful suggestionsCto encourage us to invest in the stock marketDto tell us confused people have negative beliefsCIn Canada and the United States, there is a new group of children called “satellite kids”, who live in one place but whose parents live in another place.Asians are immigrating to Canada and the United States in larger numbers than ever before. Most Asians immigrate because they believe that they can give their children a better education in the West. In Asia, especially in China, Japan, and Korea, it is difficult to go to university. Students must first pass the strict national examination. However, in Canada and the United States, it is easy to go to university, and anyone who wants to go can go. As a result, Asian parents decide to leave their countries so that their children can go to university.The problem is that when Asians arrive, they discover that finding a job and making money are more difficult in the West than in the East. Also, they find that they are very lonely, and that they miss their homes. Because of these two reasons, most Asian parents decide to go back to work while their children study in the West. Therefore, these children become “satellite kids”, and most of their parents do not know how sad it is to be a “satellite kid”.Only until now are Canadians and Americans discovering the “satellite kid” problem. Because these children do not speak English and because their parents are not there to take care of them. They are often absent from school. To be a “satellite kid” means growing up in a country where you know you are different and where you cannot make friends because you do not speak English well. Also, it means growing up lonely, because your parents are elsewhere. What these “satellite kids” will probably say to their parents is that its better to have parents around than to have a university education.58. Some Asian parents send their kids abroad because _.A. they hope their children may easily find a job thereB. the kids may not be accepted by universities in their own countriesC. all foreign universities are better than the ones in their own countriesD. the kids want to improve their English and make foreign friends59. “Satellite kids” refer to Asian kids _.A. without patentsB. living abroad aloneC. with university educationD. speaking no English60. Some Asian immigrant children become “satellite kids” because their parents _.A. want to leave their own countryB. want them to go to universityC. return to their country to workD. want them to be independent61. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Parents want better education for their kids.B. Parents feel lonely and miss their families.C. Canadians and Americans begin to notice the “satellite kids” problem.D. Kids in foreign countries alone are badly in need of care from family.DAustralian scientists are trying to give kangaroo-style stomachs to cattle and sheep in order to cut the greenhouse gases they send out, which is thought to be responsible for global warming.Thanks to special bacteria in their stomachs, kangaroo flatulence（肠胃气胀）contains no methane（甲烷）and scientists want to transfer that bacteria to cattle and sheep who produce large quantities of the harmful gas.While the usual image of greenhouse gas pollution is a billowing smokestack（烟囱）pushing out carbon dioxide, farm animals passing wind contribute a surprisingly high percentage of total emissions（排放物）in some countries.“Fourteen percent of emissions from all sources in Australia is from enteric methane from cattle and sheep,” said Athol Klieve, a senior research scientist with the Queensland state government.“And if you look at another country such as New Zealand, which has got a much higher agricultural base, theyre actually up around 50 percent,” he said.Researchers say the bacteria also make the digestive process much more efficient and could potentially save millions of dollars in feed costs for farmers.But it will take researchers at least three years to isolate（分离）the bacteria, before they can even start to develop a way of transferring it to cattle and sheep.Another group of scientists, meanwhile, has suggested Australians should farm fewer cattle and sheep and ju
