But as we grow 37 older, we realize that 38 is that simple. The power of evil always remains. 39 , it means different things to different people. But whether to contest in a friendly way or fight to the death, the end of the result is the 40 . There will be winners and losers. Of course the key is to 41 which battles to fight. You see, no victory comes without 42 . Trust is a fragile(脆弱的)thing. Once earned , it will 43 us with much freedom, but once trust is 44 , it can be impossible to be recovered. Of course the truth is we never know who we can 45 . Those we are close to could betray( 背叛 ) us, while the total 46 could come to help us. 47 , most people decide to trust only themselves. It is 48 the simplest way to keep from 49 hurt. Death is unavoidable. It is a promise made to each of us 50 birth. But before the promise is kept, we all hope something will happen to us. We all hope to experience something 51 makes our lives meaningful, but the sad fact is that not all lives have meaning. Some people spend their time on this 52 just sitting aside, 53 for something to happen to them 54 it is too late. Sooner or later the time comes when we all must become responsible adults. Then we learn to 55 what we want so that we can choose to do what is right. Of course a life time of responsibility isnt always easy. But still we try to do what is best, what is good, not only for ourselves, but for those we love.36. A. WhenB. AsC. ForD. Since37. A. much B. very C. many D. quite38.

Nobody dares any longer to defend the old system the parrot-fashion （way of learning by repeating what others say） of learning lessons, the grammar-with-a-whip（鞭子） system, which was good enough for our grandparents. The theories of modern psychology have stepped in to argue that we must understand the needs of our children. Children are not just small adults; they are children who must be respected as such.Well, you may say, this is as it should be, and a good idea. But think further. What happens? “Education” becomes the responsibility not of teachers. But of psychologists. What happens then? Teachers worry too much about the psychological implications（暗示） of their lessons, and forget about the subjects themselves. If a child dislikes a lesson, the teacher feels that it is his fault, not the childs. So teachers worry whether history is “relevant” to modern young children. And do they dare to recount stories about violent battles? Or will this make the children themselves violent? Can they tell their classes about children of different races, or will this encourage racial hatred? Why teach children to write grammatical sentences? Oral expression is better. Sums? Arithmetic? No: real-life mathematical situations are more understandable.You see, you can go too far, Influenced by educational theorists, who have nothing better to do than write books about their ideas, teachers leave their teaching-training colleges filled with grand, psychological ideas about children and their needs. They make complicated（复杂） preparations and try out their “modern methods” on the long-suffering children. Since one “modern method” rapidly replaces another, the poor kids will have well been fed up by the time they leave school. Frequently the modern methods are so complicated that they fail to be understood by the teachers, let alone the children; even more often, the relaxed discipline so necessary for the “informal” feeling the class must have, prevents all but a handful of children from learning anything.59Under the old system, children were .Amade to learn passivelyBspoiled by their parentsCtreated as adultsDwere forced to become parrots60Modern psychologists hold the view that .Achildren must be understood and respectedBchildren are small adults and they know what they needCchildren are better off without learning lessonsDeducation of children is the responsibility of psychologists61What happens when teachers pay too much attention to the psychological implications during a lesson?AThey find that children dislike the lessons.BThey tend to blame students for their failure in teaching.CThey dont pay enough attention to students actual lessons.DThey no longer want to teach children history.62How do you understand the underlined sentence at the end of the passage?AChildren will learn well in a relaxed classroom atmosphere.BFew children will actually learn when there is no discipline.CRelaxed discipline is necessary for children to develop.DNo children will learn anything without strict discipline.63What is the authors attitude toward the theories of modern psychology?AUninterested.BTolerant. CSatisfied.DCritical.B“Image is everything.” An entire industry has been built upon the precondition that image is everything, but when it comes down to it, an appealing image is not enough. If there is no substance behind the image, the product, service or person will fail at length. First of all, one should consider how important image is in the selling of products and services. Advertising agencies have raised the art of creating an image to a state of near perfection. Public concept of that product or service is certainly managed by the images created by the advertising agencies. But if the product or service does not live up to the image that was created, the customer will be very dissatisfied and possibly ask for their money back. For example , the Arthur Andersen accounting firm had spent decades building up an image of trustworthiness. But the recent scandal (丑闻) showed that behind that image, it had dishonest business practices. Despite the previous positive image, the firm is being accused of criminal actions and it will probably not survive as a business unit. Although the image had been nearly perfect, the reality behind the image has led to the downfall of the world famous accounting firm.Similarly, personal consultants can build up a public image for politicians and movie stars. Putting out positive news releases, making sure that only the best photographs are published, and ensuring that the person is seen in all the right places can build up a very positive image in the view of the general commons. But once again, history is filled with examples of both politicians and movie stars that fell from grace (体面) like the story of the Hollywood actor giving in to the pressures of fame and fortune. With people, just as with products and services, image is certainly important, but without positive substance behind the image, failure is close.To summarize, it is clear that an appealing image is extremely important to success, whether that image is related to selling a product or service or to the selling of a person. But image is only half of the equation. What lies behind that image is every bit as important as the image itselfthe person or product must deliver on that image or there is little chance for long-term success.64Why did some famous people fall from grace? ATheir images were not well built up. BThey failed to live up to their images. CThey felt much pressure from the public. DThey paid little attention to fame and fortune.65 The structure of the passage is . 66The author tries to argue that_. Aimage creates everything Bimage is the key to success Ctruth goes hand in hand with image Dtruth and image are equally importantCFor several days I saw little of Mr. Rochester. In the morning he seemed much occupied with business, and in the afternoon gentlemen from the neighborhood called and sometimes stayed to dine with him. When his foot was well enough, he rode out a great deal，and all my knowledge of him was limited to occasional meetings about the house, when he would sometimes pass me coldly, and sometimes bow and smile. His changes of manner did not offend me, because I saw that I had nothing to do with the cause of them.One evening, several days later, I was invited to talk to Mr. Rochester after dinner. He was sitting in his armchair, and looked not quite so serious. There was a smile on his lips, and his eyes were bright, probably with wine. As I was looking at him, he suddenly turned, and asked me, “Do you think Im handsome, Miss Eyre?”The answer somehow slipped from my tongue before I realized it: “No, sir.”“Ah, you really are unusual! You are a quiet, serious little person, but you can be almost rude.”“Sir, Im sorry. I should have said that beauty doesnt matter, or something like that.”“No, you shouldnt! I see, you criticize my appearance, and then you stab(刺) me in the back! You have honesty and feeling. There are not many girls like you. But perhaps I go too fast. Perhaps you have awful faults to balance your few good points.”I thought to myself that he might have too. He seemed to read my mind, and said quickly, “Yes, youre right. I have plenty of faults. I went the wrong way when I was twenty-one, and have never found the right path again. I might have been very different. I might have been as good as you, and perhaps wiser. I am not a bad man, take my word for it, but I have done wrong. It wasnt my character, but circumstances that were to blame. Why do I tell you all this? Because youre the sort of person people tell their problems and secrets to, and because youre sympathetic and give them hope.”It seemed he had quite a lot to talk to me. He didnt seem to like to finish the talk quickly, as was the case for the first time.“Dont be afraid of me, Miss Eyre.” He continued. “you dont relax or laugh very much, perhaps because of the effect Lowood school has had on you. But in time you will be more natural with me, and laugh, and speak freely. Youre like a bird in a cage. When you get out of the cage, youll fly very high. Good night.”67. The underlined word “about” in the first paragraph means_.A. around B. on C. outside D. concerning68. Why did Mr. Rochester say “and then you stab me in the back!”? A. Because Jane had intended to kill him with a knife.B. Because Jane had intended to be more critical.C. Because Jane had regretted having talked to him.D.

A. tell her all his troubles B. tell her his life experienceC. change her opinion of him D. change his circumstances70.

They happen to be riding in the same street, along the same side but from opposite directions. Great minds think alike. Both of them think that they are real heroes and neither of them wants to give way to the other. Today their minds happen to run along the same line. Both of them think: “Anyway he wouldnt dare to run into me.” But in no time they crash into each other, fall off their bikes to the ground and roll together into the same ditch. They both get the same results: they may break their arms and legs.From this incident, they may draw the same lesson: follow the traffic rules. In my opinion, everyone in our society should think of others when they do something. Only in this way can we build a harmonious society.
