I was too 36 for that. At age eleven, the oldest and my moms “grown up” girl, I had to keep 37.I was in middle school after all. But every chance I got, when I was 38 ，I checked each present under the tree. I read every tag and felt every package, guessing at the 39 within. I had examined each gift so often that I could tell which present went to which person 40 looking at the tags.It had been a(n) 41 year for my family. Whenever my mom looked over at the tree and scattered presents, she would sigh and 42 us,“There wont be as much for Christmas this year. Try not to be disappointed.”Christmas had 43 been a time for my parents to spoil us. In years past, the presents would 44 the living room. I had heard the phrase “giving is better than receiving”, but getting presents was the whole point! It was the reason I couldnt go to 45 on Christmas Eve.On Christmas morning, we 46 waited in the hallway until Dad told us everything was ready. We rushed into the living room and had to wait and 47 while other family members opened their presents, but as the time passed we lost our 48.“Heres another one for you,” said Mom as she handed me a package. I looked at it, 49. Having spent so much time examining the presents before Christmas, I 50 this one. It was for my mom!It was a blow dryer. 51 this may seem only a simple gift, to me it was so much more. But, in my world, where receiving was more 52 than giving, my moms act of selflessness was difficult to 53. I thought in disbelief about how much my mom must love me to do that.I have always remembered that Christmas with affection. As an adult with children, I can now see my mom was finding an even greater 54 in her Christmas because giving truly is better than receiving. To me, my moms simple act 55 the world.36.

That is the highest figure since March 2008, three months after the Great Recession began.And the number of workers who quit rose 2.5 percent to 2.39 million, the most since October 2008. More workers quitting can signal a healthy job market, because most of those people likely either have a new job or are confident they can find one.Total hiring, though, slipped 2.6 percent to 4.5 million after reaching a five-year high in September. Still, overall hiring has risen 5.2 percent in the past year.More hiring, job openings and quits point to a more dynamic job market. That trend creates more opportunities for people out of work or looking for a new job.Another positive sign in the report: Layoffs(临时解雇) plunged 16 percent to 1.47 million, the lowest level on records dating to 2001. Still, while fewer layoffs are welcome, businesses need to step up hiring to more quickly reduce the still-high unemployment rate of 7 percent.Job openings remain just below the 4 million figure that is thought to be consistent with a healthy job market.The job market remains competitive, even though the competition is easing. There were 2.9 unemployed people, on average, for each available job in October. Thats down from a ratio（比率）of nearly 7 to 1 in July 2009, just after the recession ended. In a healthy economy, the ratio is typically 2 to 1.Other recent reports show that businesses are adding jobs at a solid, steady pace. Employers added 203,000 positions in November, the government said Friday. The unemployment rate fell to a five-year low of 7 percent. Job gains have now averaged about 200,000 for the past four months.Those figures reflect net payroll gains the number of people hired minus those who were laid off, quit or retired. Tuesdays report on job openings and labor turnover provides more details than the monthly employment report.56. How long did the Great recession last according to the passage?A. Aboutone year.B. About five years.C. About one and half years.D. About eight and a half years.57. We can infer from the passage that_.A. about 200,000jobs might be added in DecemberB. over three people complete for one job nowadaysC. total hiring has slightly dropped in the past yearD.1.47million people were unemployed in 200158. What does it seem to show that more people leave their jobs?A. It is the sign of more layoffs.B. It is the effect of the recessionC. It reflects a better employment situationD. It reflects a more competitive job market.59. What does the passage lead the readers to believe?A. The US has a healthy economy now.B. The US has a satisfying unemployment rate now.C. The US is changing its employment policy now.D. The US is bringing back its economy now.BIf you live in America in the 21st century youll probably have to listen to a lot of people tell you how busy they are. Its become the default response when you ask anyone how they are doing: “Busy!” “Crazy busy!” It is, pretty obviously, a boast(夸口) disguised as a complaint. And the common response is a kind of congratulation: “Thats a good problem to have,” or “Better than the opposite.”Notice it isnt generally people pulling back-to-back(连续的) shifts in the ICU or commuting by bus to three minimum-wage jobs who tell you how busy they are. What those people are is not busy but tired. Exhausted! Dead on their feet. Its almost always people whose busyness is purely self-imposed（自愿承担的）work and obligations theyve taken on voluntarily, classes and activities theyve “encouraged” their kids to participate in. Theyre busy because of their own ambition or drive or anxiety, because theyre addicted to busyness and dread that they might have to face in its absence. Almost everyone I know is busy. They feel anxious and guilty when they arent either working or doing something to promote their work. Its something they have chosen. Busyness serves as a kind of existential reassurance(令人安心的保证)，a measure against emptiness, obviously your life cannot possibly be silly or tiny or meaningless if you are so busy, completely booked, in demand every hour of the day.Idleness is not just a vacation. It is as necessary to the brain as vitamin D is to the body, and deprived of it we suffer a mental affliction as ugly as rickets. The space and quiet that idleness provides is a necessary condition for standing back from life and seeing it whole, for making unexpected connections and waiting for the wild summer lightning strikes of inspiration. “Idle dreaming is often the essence of what we do”, wrote Thomas Pynchon. Archimedes “Eureka” in the bath, Newtons apple: history is full of stories of inspirations that come in idle moments.60. When many Americans say “Crazy busy”, they mean_.A. they are really proud of their present life B. they are really tired of their present situationC. they are complaining about their current work D. their life are full of all kinds of problems61. The writer mentions Archimedes “Eureka” and Newtons apple to show that_.A. history is full of interesting storiesB. Archimedes and Newton were very busy, so they made great discoveriesC. people may get inspiration when they are idleD. inspirations come from hard work62. From the article, we can infer that _.A. generally people pulling back-to-back shifts in the ICU tell you they are busyB. “Dead on their feet” means “being tired out”C. all the kids are self-imposed due to the drive and motivationD. The author seems to agree that idleness is better than busynessCLisa stood facing the Caribbean Sea, feeling the faint breeze against her face; her eyes were shut and she felt the white sand warm between her bare toes. The place was beautiful beyond belief, but it was still unable to ease the grief she felt as she remembered the last time she had been here.She had married James right here on this spot three years ago to the day. Dressed in a simple white shift dress, miniature white roses attempting to tame her long dark curls, Lisa had been happier than she had ever thought possible. James was even less formal, yet utterly irresistible in creased summer trousers and a loose white cotton shirt. His dark hair was slightly ruffled and his eyes were full of adoration as he looked at his bride to be. The justice of the peace had read their vows as they held hands and laughed at the sheer joy of being young, in love and staying in a five star resort on the Caribbean island of the Dominican Republic. They had seen the years blissfully stretching ahead of them, together forever. They planned their children, two she said; he said four so they compromised on three (two girls and a boy of course); where they would live, the travelling they would do together-it was all certain, or so they had thought then. But that seemed such a long time ago now. A lot can change in just a few years a lot of heartache can change a person and drive a wedge（楔子） through the strongest ties, break even the deepest love. Three years to the day and they had returned, though this time not for the beachside marriages the island was famous for, but for one of its equally popular quickie（速成的） divorces. Lisa let out a sigh that was filled with pain and regret. What could she do but move on, find a new life and new dreams? The old one was beyond repair. How could this beautiful place, with its lush green coastline, eternity of azure（天蓝色） blue sea and endless sands be a place for the agony she felt now? The man stood watching under the palm tree. He couldnt take his eyes off the dark-haired woman he saw standing at the waters edge, apparently gazing out to sea as though she was waiting for something or someone. She was beautiful, with her slim figure dressed in a loose flowing cotton dress, her crazy hair and bright blue eyes not far off the color of the sea itself. It wasnt her looks that attracted him though; he came across many beautiful women through his work as a freelance photographer. It was her loneliness and intensity that lured him. Even at some distance he was aware that she was different from any other woman he could ever meet. Lisa sensed the man approaching even before she turned around. She had been aware of him standing there staring at her and had felt strangely calm about being observed. She looked at him and felt the instant spark of connection she had only experienced once before. He walked slowly towards her and they held each others gaze. It felt like meeting a long lost friend not a stranger on a strange beach. Later, sitting at one of the many bars on the resort, sipping the local cocktails they began to talk. First pleasantries their hot
