The bicycle he wanted was $90! 37 on earth was he going to get the 38 of the money? He knew that his friends all had bicycles. It was

18、39 to hang around with people when you were the only one without wheels. He thought about what he could do. There was no 40 to ask his parents, for he knew they had no money to 41 . There was only one way to get money, and that was to 42 it. He would have to find a job. 43 who would hire him and wha

19、t could he do? He decided to ask Mr Clay for advice, who usually had _44 in most things. "Well, you can start right here," said Mr Clay. "My windows need cleaning and my car needs washing." That was the 45 of Jamess odd-job (零工) business. For three months he worked every day afte

20、r finishing his homework. He was surprised by the 46 jobs that people found for him to do. He took dogs and babies for walks, cleared out cupboards, and mended books.

But religion is really hard, especially with M

26、r Frank Smith for a teacher.Mr Smith is 55 years old, with grey hair and a moustache (胡子). He always wears a blue school T-shirt, shorts and tennis shoes with long white socks. My friends say he looks like a cat.In his class, we did yoga (瑜珈) and meditation (冥想) (actually most of the children in my

27、class lay on the ground sleeping), tasted some strange tea, had classes outside in the garden, and watched videos and movies about Tibetan Buddhism (藏传佛教), God, and so on.It was fun sometimes. However, the course (课程) was quite hard when it came to tests. The girls often worked until one or two o

28、9;clock in the morning on nights before the tests, but they still got bad scores.When our test scores were bad, he would give us some makeup assignments (补考作业). Once I got a B, which I thought was bad, so I asked Mr Smith for an assignment to bring up my grades.As a matter of fact, his assignments w

29、ere often worse than the tests. The tests were just a lot of multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blanks, or short essays (文章). But his assignments usually included a speech in class.I was not afraid of public speaking, yet it took me three days to collect the information, two days to write the speech, one

30、day to make a PowerPoint and several hours to prepare. I knew my presentation (课堂展示) was good, because I saw Mr Smith's big smile when he listened to me. He gave me an A at last.After finishing the course, I may not remember how hard it was or the meaning of some vocabulary. But through Mr Smith

31、, I learned a lesson that will be with me my whole life. That is: no matter what we do, we need to put our hearts into it, and then our work will pay off.56. The religion class is hard because Mr Smith _.A. uses strange ways to teach in his class.B. never gives good scores, however hard you try.C. g

32、ives difficult tests and make-up assignments.D. likes students to make good presentations.57. How could students get good scores in Mr. Smiths class?A. Work hard by studying late into the night.

34、 California. Right there under the sun during the hottest time of the day, she has only her swimsuit to cover her. When I showed it to my students, it was as if I had shown them scenes from a horror (恐怖) movie. “But she will get dark,” they said. “Thats what she wants,” I told them. “We think darker

35、 skin (肤色) is beautiful.” They looked at me in disbelief. It was as if I came from the moon. For years, American girls spend their summer trying to get as tanned (晒黑) as possible. In China, on the other hand, girls use umbrellas all year round. What in the world is going on? The pale skin we think l

36、ooks unattractive (不漂亮) is what Asian women want. Both groups want to meet their cultures standard (标准) of beauty. In the US, if you can afford to go on vacation in the summer, you head for a river, a lake or a beach, where you try to get as much sun as possible. If you are rich you take a winter va

37、cation in some sunny spot. Your winter tan shows your wealth. In China, once upon a time, the few wealthy were the ones who didnt have to work out in the hot sun. So the whiter the skin, the richer the woman. The folk opera performers who play these ladies wore lots of white makeup (妆容). The traditi

38、on survives to this day. So it comes naturally that none of my students wishes to follow the Western ways in this regard. But now I am noticing that a new business the tanning booth (美黑店) started up in China. I admire those brave enough to define（给下定义）their own idea of beauty, but I do wonder what t

39、heir grandmothers would have to say to them about it! 59. The students were shocked at the picture the writer showed them because _. A. they thought it shameful for a girl only to wear a swimsuit B. the writers daughter was wearing very little while out in the sunC. it is dangerous for a girl to be

40、out on a lake aloneD. with the powerful sunlight the writers daughter would have got a suntan60. According to the article, which kind of woman meets the American standard of beauty? A. Women with blond hair. B. Women with a slim figure. C. Women with tanned skin. D. Women with pale skin.61. In the U

41、S a winter tan usually means the person _. A. is hard-working B. doesnt have to work C. has a lot of money and spare time D. is from a very poor family62. The writer _ the tanning booth started up in China. A. is not interested in B. doesnt understand C. doesnt like D. has mixed feelings aboutC As m

42、any as one in five US teenagers have some degree of hearing loss, according to researchers.They say the problem is growing. Teenagers really dont pay attention to how much noise they are exposed (暴露) to, Josef Shargorodsky of Brigham and Womens Hospital in Boston told Reuters. “Often people wont not

43、ice it, but even slight hearing loss may affect language development,” said Shargorodsky, one of the researchers. The study compared surveys from the early 1990s and the mid-2000s. Each included a few thousand teenagers. In the first survey, about 15 percent of teenagers had some degree of hearing l

44、oss. Some 15 years later, that number had risen by a third, to nearly 20 percent. “This certainly is big news,” said Alison Grimes, an ear doctor. Hearing loss is very common in old people, Grimes said, but she added that it was worrying to see it happen in the younger age group. In babies and young

45、 children, hearing problems are known to slow language development. The science is less clear for teenagers, but it is easy to imagine how being hard of hearing could affect learning, said Grimes,. The reasons for the rise are still unclear. When researchers asked teenagers about noise exposure on t

46、he job, at school or from activities, for example the teenagers didnt report any change. But Shargorodsky said that might not be true. “We knew from before that it is difficult to ask this age group about noise exposure they underestimate (低估) it.” Few people would call it noise when they listen to

47、music on their MP3 player, for example. “There is a difference between what we think is loud and what is harmful to the ear,” said Grimes. Although its not clear that the MP3 players cause teenagers hearing loss, Grimes said it was still a good idea to turn down the sound and take short breaks from

48、listening. 63. According to the researchers, in a US class of 40 students, about _ students have some degree of hearing loss.A. one B. five C. six D. eight64. Which of the following statements is true according to the article? A. Slight hearing loss does not influence learning. B. Only a few old peo

49、ple have hearing problems. C. Hearing problems can slow language development. D. Noise exposure is clearly noticed by teenagers.65. About hearing loss, it can be inferred that _.A. the reasons for the rise have been found B. MP3 players are to blameC. listening to loud music may be a cause D. noise

50、is the main reason 66. The article was written to _.A. warn teenagers that loud music might be harmful B. explain what kinds of noises might affect studiesC. suggest that teenagers shouldnt listen to loud musicD. show how important hearing can be for learning DBy the time a student starts to apply (

51、申请) for a US university, much of his or her record, including grades and after-school activities, has been set in stone. For this reason, the student must in his or her first year of high school start getting ready for college. He or she also has to decide on the non-academic (非学业的) tasks, which are

52、 important to improve the students chances of getting in.1. After-school activities When it comes to high school activities, quality is better than quantity (数量). Admissions (录取) officers do not want to see a student who has joined dozens of organizations (组织) for a short period of time. Many studen

53、ts try to do this towards the end of their high school. But schools want to see a student who has been with one organization for all or most of high school. A student who can do this shows maturity (成熟). It is the quality that admissions officers look for as it is one of the markers of future succes

54、s. 2. Leadership Schools want to see a student who has taken on a leadership role in an organization. A student can show leadership by taking on any role that needs extra commitment (奉献) and responsibility. If you do not have a great title (头衔) such as president, be sure to explain any leadership roles you have taken. This kind of involvement (参与) in school activities shows you are the responsible pers
