It was a very difficult time in my life everything seemed to fall apart. I lost my job, and then my utilities were turned off. I had to take cold showers for six months. A neighbor who knew about my situation came to my house and made me an offer. I took care of her children as a job, and I no longer went hungry. I was surprised that someone would trust me a young woman with her children. And it was with the very confidence that before long I began taking care of other peoples children, too. I have since moved 300 miles from Boise, Idaho. For more than 23 years I have made every effort to reach out to all the kind-hearted people who helped me when I was down and out. Without their trust, I dont know what I would have done. I am very involved in my community and volunteer at the local food bank, and I help out whenever I can. Id like to owe what I am to whoever has offered me generosity.If you are grateful for what you already have, the world will work together to give you more to be grateful for. Otherwise, the world will give you more to complain about.Moreover, the true master learns to be grateful, in advance, for the things that are desired, because, being grateful in advance for some attainment or accomplishment does two very important things: oneit tricks your subconscious（潜意识） into believing that the goal is certain and twoit convinces other people, with whom you must interact to achieve your desires, that you know what you are about, that you are a winner, not a whiner (哀诉者).56. The underlined “utilities” refers to such things as _ in the passage. A. gas and electricitysupplies B. water and gas suppliesC. shower equipment and water supply D. heating and TV signals57. The writer was grateful mainly for _.A. his neighbors donation B. his communityC. having got the job D. others trust58. The writers personal story in the second paragraph tells us that _.A. to be grateful will get you nowhere but away from homeB. we need to be grateful to be helpful and usefulC. a grateful person is most likely to be successfulD. the fragrance (芳香) stays in the hand that gives the rose59. The best title for the passage would be _.A. A Thank-You Note to Trusting NeighborB. You Are a Winner, Not a WhinerC. Gratefulness Brings a Great Fullness to Life D. Be Grateful to Life in AdvanceBDo you want to watch a hot movie while chatting with your friend on the phone, or shop with your mobile while on a train? The ongoing construction of a new telecommunication service will make these things reality, very soon.It is reported that China is to issue its first licence for the commercial use of third generation telecommunication technology early next year. The so-called 3G technology will enable mobile phone users to enjoy high-speed Internet-based services. It will help increase mobility in many areas of our life. Nowadays, many mobile phones also allow you to send e-mails or read the latest stories on the Internet, but their services are limited by their transporting speed, which is only 10 kilobytes per second. But 3G will enable you to connect to the Internet with a speed of up to 2 megabytes per second, a thousand times faster than what you use now.If recent mobile technology is like riding a bike on a country road, then 3G will make you fly on the information highway. For example, a mobile phone with 3G technology will enable you to download a three minutes MP3 song within two minutes. But at the moment, it will take you up to an hour to do this with your mobile phone.In the near future, well expect high-speed access to the Internet, entertainment, information and electronic commerce services wherever we are not just at our computers or television sets.In the UK and many other European countries where 3G services have been around since 2020, 3G has already become a part of modern business life. Nowadays, employees are able to spend some of their working hours at home. The new technology allows the emergency services to provide a video link with a hospital or doctor for patients who need special care.60. What are the strength of the so-called 3G technology?A.

Thanks to 3G phones, European employees neednt always travel to work .C. 3G mobile phone enables you to watch a hot movie while chatting.D. The new technology allows a doctor to examine a patient through a video link.62. Which sentence can best describe the picture?A. 3G will make you fly on the information highway.B. 3G will help increase mobility in many areas of our lives.C. 3G has already become a part of modern business.D. 3G will enable you connect to the internet with a speed of 2 megabytes per second.CYellowstone WeatherYellowstone National Park is at high altitude(海拔).

Aliterature works Bbooks Cannouncements DfiguresD Are you one of those who always fear whenever a dog is approaching? If you are, you have got phobia ( a very strong feeling of being afraid of something ). Of all human fears, phobias may be the most uncontrollable. They are most often caused by a particular situation or object. In general, phobias can mainly be divided into three varieties. To begin with，agoraphobia is a fear of staying in strange surroundings, for example, an unfamiliar place, or an open area. Social phobia refers to the anxiety people show when they have to stay or perform on social events, for instance, speaking in front of the class. Lastly, there are a wide range of specific phobias. People suffering from this kind of phobia are terrified of specific objects or creatures, such as spiders, perhaps to your surprise, clowns. Besides, there are about six hundred and fifty phobias having been listed by psychologists (心理学家) as yet. Faced with their phobias, many people choose to do nothing but just escape the situations or objects they fear. Psychologists, however, warn that if not treated properly, this kind of anxiety will get worse, so that it may disturb the sleep pattern, cause physical symptoms, and finally affect their daily activities. As for treatment, clinical research has discovered that medicine for anxiety is not successful in curing phobias. However, the anxiety disorders can be efficiently treated through cognitive behavioral therapy ( 认知行为疗法 ), through which patients are led to inspect the connections between their own fear and the situation
