If your child completes a difficult task, promise him a Sunday trip or a ball game with Dad. Learning is a process (过程) of trying and failing and trying and succeeding.

I at once ran into a nearby phone box because I didnt have an umbrellaIt was raining so heavily that I have to stay in the phone box until it stopped A few moments later，I saw a young man walk up to the phone box，wearing a yellow raincoat and holding a box. I didnt want to go out into the rain，so I picked up the phone and pretended（假装）I was talking to someone. I thought the man would go away，but he didnt. He just waited in the rain，watching me.

Luckily，the rain began to stop after about ten minutes“Okay，Mum，” I said loudly into the phone，“Ill see you later Bye!” I put the phone down, picked up my shopping bag and walked out of the phone box. “Im sorry I took so long,” I said to the man.“Oh, I dont want to use the phone, ”he replied, smiling“Ive just come to repair it.

Life is a learning process. Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person. With each passing day we learn to deal with various situations.Love plays a main role in our life. Love makes you feel wanted. Without love a person could become cruel. In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who show us with love and care. They teach us about what is right and wrong, good and bad. But we dont always care about it. It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands others feelings.Happiness can bring people a peaceful mind. No mind is happy without peace. Sadness is the cause of the death of a loved one or the failure. But all of these things will pass away.Failure is the path to success. It helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way. Success brings in money, pride and self-respect.Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makes us dream. Hope builds in patience. Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour, because after every night there is a day.Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is out of our control. Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be bright or dark. So the only choice is to work hard today, so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.( )52.

You turned around and, sure enough, someone was looking right at you!Parapsychologists (灵学家) say that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is looking at them. To research whether such a “sixth sense” really exists（存在）, Robert Baker, a psychologist (心理学家) at the University of Kentucky, did two experiments.In the first one, Baker sat behind unknowing people in public places and stared at the backs of their heads for 5 to 15 minutes. The subjects(受试者)were eating, drinking, reading, studying, watching TV, or working at a computer. Baker made sure that the people could not tell that he was sitting behind them during those periods. Later, when he questioned the subjects, almostall of them said they had no sense that someone was staring at them.For the second experiment, Baker told the subjects that they would be stared at from time to time from behind in a laboratory setting. The people had to write down when they felt they were being stared at and when they werent. Baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at and when they werent. Baker concludes that people do not have the ability to sense when theyre being stared at. If people doubt the outcome of his two experiments, said Baker, “I suggest they repeat the experiments and see for themselves.”( )56. The aim of the two experiments is to_.A. explain when people can have a sixth senseB. show how people act while being watched in the labC. study whether humans can sense when they are stared atD. prove why humans have a sixth sense( )57.

C. couldnt tell when they were stared at but could tell when they werent. D. couldnt tell when they were stared at or when they werent.( )60. What can be learned from the passage?A. People are born with a sixth sense.B. The experiments support parapsychologists idea.C. The subjects do not have a sixth sense in the experiments.D. People have a sixth sense in all places.第II卷（主观题，共45分）五、词汇运用（本大题共10分，每小题1分）(A)根据句意和汉语注释，在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出单词的正确形式。61. Can you _(想象) what life will be like in 50 years?62.
