And 36 otherwise assigned a seat by the teacher, I always 37 to sit at the back of the classroom.All this 38 after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I try out for the basket

17、ball team. At first I thought it was a crazy 39 because I didnt have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the 40 to keep pace with the others on the team and they would tease me.

Ideas or inventions that change society or, at least, make life easier for somebody? Perhaps we all do sometimes, but

25、 we dont often make the idea a reality. Recently, in Britain, there was a competition called British Designers for Tomorrow. The competition encourages young people to carry out their bright ideas. There were two groups in the contest: Group One was for schoolchildren under 16; Group Two was for sch

26、oolchildren over 16, and there were eleven prize-winners altogether. Neil Hunt, one of the prize-winners, was called “Sunshine Superman”. Its important when people study the weather to be able to record sunshine accurately. We need to know how many hours of sunshine we have and how strong it is. Mos

27、t sunshine recorders only record direct sunlight. Neils is more accurate and this is very important for research into the way of using solar power. You can do so much with animated cartoon. Look at Simon Wests idea for animated road signs. He uses pictures which appear to move as you go nearer to or

28、 farther from them. This isnt a new idea. But it is new to use these pictures on road signs. “We found that people were more likely to see moving signs,” said Simon. So now, you can really see rocks falling, trains moving, horses running or a car falling over the edge of a cliff. Quite a warning! Th

29、e ideas in the competition were so inventive that we are surprised that British industry doesnt ask more schoolchildren for suggestions. Perhaps this will be the start of “pupil power!”56. The writer seems to be encouraging the British industry to . A. help schoolchildren in their studies B. take be

30、tter care of schoolchildren C. stop asking schoolchildren for suggestions D. pay more attention to schoolchildrens inventive power57.

A. become good designers for future Britain B. win as many prizes as they could C. design something useful for the next day D. invent something for immediate use59. Whats the use of Simon Wests ani

32、mated road signs? A. To add to the beauty of a city. B. To warn people on the roads of the danger ahead. C. To help make a car trip more exciting. D. To warn people to be careful while working.60. The writer holds that people seldom . A. make their life easierB. turn their bright ideas into reality

33、C. have bright ideasD. think of inventing somethingB College graduation brings both the satisfaction of academic achievement and the expectation of a well-paid job. But for 6,000 graduates at San Jose State this year, theres uncertainty as they enter one of the worst job markets in decades. Ryan Ste

34、wart has a freshly minted(新兴的) degree in religious studies, but no job prospects. “You look at everybodys parents and neighbors, and theyre getting laid off and dont have jobs,” said Stewart. “Then you look at the young people just coming into the workforce. its just scary.” When the class of 2003 e

35、ntered college, the future never looked brighter. But in the four years theyve been here, the world outside has changed dramatically. “Those were the exciting times, lots of dot-com opportunities, exploding offers, students getting top dollar with lots of benefits,” said Cheryl Allmen-Vinnidge of th

36、e San Jose State Career Center. “Times have changed. Its a new market.” Cheryl Allmen-Vinnidge ought to know. She runs the San Jose State Career Center, sort of a crossroads between college and the real world. Allmen-innidge says students who do find jobs after college have done their homework. “The

37、 typical graduate who does have a job offer started working on it two years ago. Theyve postured（定位）themselves well during the summer. Theyve had several internships(实习),” she said. And theyve majored in one of the few fields that are still hot, like chemical engineering, accounting, or nursing, whe

38、re average starting salaries have actually increased over last year. Other popular fields (like information systems management, computer science, and political science) have seen big declines in starting salaries. Ryan Stewart (he had hoped to become a teacher) may just end up going back to school.

39、“Id like to teach college some day and that requires more schooling, which would be great in a bad economy,” he said. To some students, a degree may not be a ticket to instant wealth. For now, they can only hope its value will increase over time.61. The expression “dot-com” in the fourth paragraph p

40、robably means “ ”. A. a well-known websiteB. jobs related to high-technology C. a company making dotsD. teaching on the Internet62.

Most students with degrees will be able to find jobs. D. The best way to get rich is to get a college degree. C Anger is good for you, as long as

44、 you control it, according to new psychology research. A new study from Carnegie Mellon University shows anger may help people reduce the negative impacts of stress and help you become healthier. “Here getting emotional is not bad for you if you look at the case of anger,” said Jennifer Lerner of Ca

45、rnegie Mellon. “The more people display anger, the lower their stress responses.” Lerner studied 92 UCLA students by asking them to count back from 6,200. They must say out loud every thirteenth number. Researchers disturbed them by asking them to count faster or ask them other questions. If they ma

46、de any mistakes, they had to restart from the very beginning. Many students felt depressed about making so many mistakes or got angry. Lerner used a hidden video camera and recorded all their facial expressions during the test. The researchers describe their reactions as fear, anger and disgust. Oth

47、er researchers recorded the students blood pressure,pulse and production of a high-stress hormone(荷尔蒙) called cortisol.People whose faces showed more fear during the experiment had higher blood pressure and higher levels of the hormone. Both can have lasting effects such as diabetes(糖尿病), heart dise

48、ase, depression and extra weight gain. When people feel fear, negative impacts increase, but when they get angry, those negatives go down, according to the study. “Having that sense of anger leads people to actually feel some power in what otherwise is a maddening (令人发狂的) situation,” Lerner said. Le

49、rner previously studied Americans emotional response to the 9·11 terrorist attacks two months after the incident. She found people who reacted with anger were more optimistic. These people are healthier compared with those who were frightened during the event. So in maddening situations, anger

Different effects produced by anger and fear. D. Healthier responses in maddening situations.67. Which st

51、atement will Jennifer Lerner agree with? A. Its better to be angry than to be frightened. B. Different reactions reflect different outlooks on life. C. Dont control your anger and it makes you powerful. D. Pessimistic people are generally healthier.68. What does the underlined word “both” refer to a

52、ccording to the passage? A. Fear and anger. B. Blood pressure and pulse. C. Blood pressure and cortisol. D. Higher blood pressure and higher levels of the hormone.69. In what ways can anger be beneficial to people? A. By showing their optimistic side.B. By reducing their stress. C. By reducing high

53、blood pressure.D. By taking the place of fear.70. The researchers irritated(激怒) the students by . A. recording their performance secretly B. asking them to count to 6,200 again and again C. disturbing them and making them start all over again D. criticizing them when they made mistakesD The best way

54、 to come first is to go last. An analysis of almost 50 years of competitionsincluding Eurovision Song Contests and world skating championshipshas found that contestants are more likely to win if they are among the last to appear before the judges. The study by an American university appears to provi

55、de scientific proof that the best man, or woman, does not always win. It found that, on average, the last competitor to appear in the Eurovision Song Contest was more than twice as likely to win as the one who went on first. The first rounds of figure-skating championships, for which the running order is selected at random, showed more dramatic results. The final skater had a 14 percen
