The 38 were all bright.The boy sitting next to me was painting a heart, but it was 39 and lifeless. It lacked (缺乏) the bright colors that his fellow (同伴) “ 40 “ had used.I thought maybe he took the only paint that was 41 and it just happened to be dark. But when I asked him about it, he said his 42 was that color. I asked him why and he told me that he was very 43 . He looked straight into my eyes and said, “There is 44 anyone can do that will help.”I certainly 45 why he was sad. I said, “It isnt 46 that there is nothing anyone can do to help. Other people may not be 47 to make you recover better but we can do things 48 giving bear hugs (拥抱), which will 49 when you are feeling sad.” I also told him that Id be happy to give him one 50 he could see what I meant. He immediately gave me a huge hug and I thought my own heart would burst with the 51 I felt for this sweet boy.As the day was coming to an end, I was getting ready to 52 home.

Do you feel nervous before a test? Many students say that a lack of concentration (注意力) is their biggest problem. It seriously affects their ability to study, so do their test results.If so, use these tips to help you.Study Techniquesl You should always study in the same place. You shouldnt sit in a position that you use for another purpose. For example, when you sit on a sofa to study, your brain will think it is time to relax. Dont watch TV while you are studying. Experts warn that your concentration may be reduced by 50 percent if you attempt to study in this way. Always try to have a white wall in front of you, so there is nothing to distract (make less concentrated) you. Before sitting down to study, gather together all the equipment you need. Apart from your textbooks, pens, pencils and knives, make sure you have a dictionary. If your study desk or table is needed when you are not studying, store all your equipment in a box beside it.l Your eyes will become tired if you try to read a text which is on a flat surface. Position your book at an angle of 30 degrees.l Be realistic and dont try to complete too much in one study period. Finish one thing before beginning another. If you need a break, get up and walk around for a few minutes, but try not to telephone a friend or have something to eat.Test-taking Skillsl All your hard work will be for nothing if you are too nervous to take your test. Getting plenty of rest is very important. This means do not study all night before your test! It is a better idea to have a long-term study plan. Try to make a timetable for your study which lasts for a few months.l Exercise is a great way to reduce pressure. Doing some form of exercise every day will also improve your concentration. Eat healthy food too.l When you arrive in the examination room, find your seat and sit down. Breathe slowly and deeply. Check the time on the clock during the test, but not too often. Above all, take no notice of everyone else and give the test paper your undivided attention.56. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. You should study in a different place every day, so you dont get bored.B. Your concentration will improve if you study and watch TV at the same time.C. Check the time during the exam at a certain time.D. Staying up all night and studying is tiring, but you will learn a lot using this method.57. What does the underlined word “it” refer to?A. Your study desk or table.B. Your textbook.C. Your dictionary.D. The equipment you need.58. The writer wrote this article in order to _.A .help you deal with your nervousness B. teach you how to work harderC. show you how to improve your study D. improve students ability to study and their test results59. What can be inferred from the passage?A. You shouldnt look at everyone else during the test.B. You will have enough energy to deal with your study and exams by eating healthy diet.C. Youll concentrate more if there is nothing on the desk to distract you.D. If you feel tired during study, you can walk around for a few minutes.B.Personal computers and the Internet give people new choices about how to spend their time.Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members, but new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care most about. I know this from personal experience.E-mail makes it easy to work at home, which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings. My working hours arent necessarily much shorter than they once were but I spend fewer of them at the office.This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if shed been born before electronic mail became such a practical tool.The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends. Say you do something fun see a great movie perhaps and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it. If you call each one, you may be tired of telling the story.With e-mail, you just write one note about your experience, at your convenience, and address it to all the friends you think might be interested. They can read your message when they have time, and read only as much as they want to. They can reply at their convenience, and you can read what they have to say at your convenience.E-mail is also an inexpensive way to stay in close touch with people who live far away. More than a few parents use e-mail to keep in touch , even daily touch, with their children off at college.We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of staying in touch . They dont take the place of any of the old ways.60. The purpose of this passage is to _.A. explain how to use the InternetB. describe the writers joy of keeping up with the latest technologyC.tell the merits and usefulness of the InternetD. introduce the reader to basic knowledge about personal computers and the Internet61. The use of e-mail has made it possible for the writer to_.A. spend less time working B. have more free time with his childC. work at home on weekends D. work at a speed comfortable to him62. According to the writer, e-mail has an obvious advantage over the telephone because the former helps one _A. reach a group of people at one time convenientlyB.keep ones communication as personal as possibleC.pass on much more information than the laterD. get in touch with ones friends faster than the later63.The best title for this passage is _.A. Computer: New Technological AdvancesB. Internet: New Tool to Maintain Good FriendshipC. Computers Have Made Life EasierD. Internet: A Convenient Tool for CommunicationC.Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh, and do things with. Surely, there are times when we need to be alone. We dont always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never have a friend.No two people are just the same. Sometimes friends dont get along well. That doesnt mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will make up and go on being friends.Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very sad. We miss them very much. But we can call them again, and we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them.Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men or women who have been friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.Theres more good news for people who have friends. They live longer than people who dont. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares. If someone cares about you, you take better care of yourself.64. The main idea of this passage is _.A. that people are all friends B. that people need friendsC. how to get to know friends D. how to name a place65. The first paragraph tells us to _.A. what is the feeling of having no friends B. we always need friends around usC. making friends is a need in peoples life D. we need to be alone in our life66.

People will never see their friends after they move away.D. People like their friends very much if they get to know them67. Why do people who have friends live longer than those who dont?A. Because they feel happier and are healthyB. Because they get a lot of help from their friendsC. Because they take better care of themselves than their familiesD. Because they care for their friends very muchDOnce upon a time, there was an island inhabited by: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all the rest of it, including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all feelings constructed boats and left. except for Love. Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment.When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help. Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said, Richness, can you take me with you? Richness answered, No, I cant. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you. Love decided to ask Vanity(虚荣) who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. Vanity, please help me! I cant help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat, Vanity answered. Sadness was close by so Love asked, Sadness, let me go with you. Oh . . . Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!
