A high school history teacher once told us, “If you make one close friend in school, you will be most fortunate. A true friend is someone who stays with you for life.” 26 teaches that he was right. A good friendship is not easily 27 .
It is possible that we simply do not stay in one place long enough for a 28 friendship to _29 . However, there can be 30 disagreement on the need for each of us to think carefully about the kinds of friendships we want.
To most of us, friendships are considered very important, but we need to be clear in our 31 the kinds of friendships we want. Are they to be close or 32 at arm’s length? Do we want to 33 ourselves or do we want to walk on the surface? For some people, many friendships on the surface are 34 enough ― and that’s all right. But at some point, we need to 35 that our expectations are the same as our friends’ expectations. The sharing of 36__experience 37 our tears as well as our dark dreams is the surest way to deepen friendships. But it 38 be undertaken slowly and carried on only if there are 39 of interest and action in return.
What are some of the 40 of friendship? The greatest is the attraction to expect too much too soon. Deep relationships 41 time. Another “major difficulty” is the selfishness to think one “possesses” the other, including his time and attention. Similarly, friendships 42 actions in return. In 43 words, you must give as much as you take. Finally there is a question of taking care of the friendship. Unless you spend 44 time together, talking on the phone, and writing letters, friendships will die 45 .

Hello, everyone. Have you ever wondered what the weather is like in other places around the world? Today, I’d like to talk to you about the changing seasons in my city which was the assigned topic for this class.
First of all, the winter season usually begins in December and ends in early March. The coldest month is January, and temperatures can drop below freezing for most of this month. The city usually averages about 30 inches of snow during this entire 3-month period. Occasionally, we have snow storms that can drop a foot of snow in a very short period of time. Winter activities during this season include sledding, skiing, and snowshoeing.
Spring usually arrives in late March, and the temperatures hover(stay) around 50 degrees during the day. It is a beautiful season because the flowers start to bloom. It is sometimes windy, and this is great for flying kites. People in my city often like to go on picnics, stroll through parks, and play outdoor games.
Next, summer starts in June, as temperatures slowly rise to around 80 degrees. The summer in my city is very dry with little rain throughout the season, and temperatures can soar(increase quickly) above 100 degrees in August. Fortunately, the weather is very dry with low humidity（湿度）, so it is really pleasant even on hot days. Popular activities during this season are hiking, fishing, camping, water skiing, and outdoor sports including football and soccer.
And finally, summer changes to fall in late September when the weather cools off, and the trees begin to change colors. A lot of people enjoy driving into the mountains and viewing the fall colors. It is also a time when people clean up their yards and gardens in preparation for the winter season.
So, as you can see, my city has a lot to offer no matter when you visit this area.

LOS ANGELES-Jesus Ibarra was confused by the elderly man in the skullcap(无沿便帽).He was obviously much older than other students at Central Adult High School. And he was an Anglo on a campus where most students are Latinos, blacks, and Asian-Americans.
“I asked myself what he was doing here,” says Ibarra, 21, of Los Angeles. “I thought he was a volunteer. The first time I talked to him, I asked a question in English, and he answered in Spanish. I thought he was white and Jewish. I never imagined that he would speak Spanish.”
Jacob Blitzstein surprised his fellow students all the time. He isn’t some stuffy guy, though he wears his neat gray beard and conservative(traditional) clothes.
Blitzstein is warm and gregarious (enjoys being with others). He likes to hear a good joke-and loves to tell a good story. He is determined, especially when it comes to pursuing his dream.
Recently, that dream came true. At a ceremony attended by two of his children and three grandchildren, Blitzstein, 81, graduated from high school
After Principal Lanny Nelms handed him the diploma（证书）and announced his age, Blitzstein waved to the audience and cried.
And why not? He’s probably the oldest Central High graduate since the school opened in 1974. Although no records of such things are kept, a Los Angeles district spokesman says Blitzstein is the oldest graduate he’s ever heard of.
Earning his diploma took 10 years, during which the retired store owner suffered a stroke（中风）and two bouts of pneumonia, had two pacemakers（心脏起搏器）installed, and lost his wife and two brothers.
He kept to his task for a reason. School “is the best medicine you can have,” he says. “You have something on your mind-a goal.”…
With his diploma in hand, Blizstein states that he’s not through yet.
“You know something? I’m going to college,” he told a visitor recently. He has checked out West Los Angeles and Santa Monica community colleges and says he hopes to transfer from there to a four-year school.
“It’s not a joke, ” he says. “If I live to the year 2006, maybe I’ll be a doctor.”
49.What was Jacob Blizstein’s dream?
A. To be the oldest graduate.
B. To graduate from high school.
C. To surprise his fellow students.
D. To invite his children to attend his ceremony.
50.At 81, this graduate proves .
A. it’s always possible to learn more
B. it’s necessary to receive the college education
C. it isn’t a joke to be a doctor
D. it’s easy to graduate from high school
51.What does Blitzstein mean by saying he’s not through yet?
A．It’s a dream from which he can’t wake up.
B．It’s a start for him to go on with his study.
C．He can’t believe that he can receive the diploma.
D．He doesn’t think he’ll pass the examination for the colleges.

Where is that noise coming from? Not sure? Try living with your eyes closed for a few years.
Blind people are better at locating sounds than people who can see, a new study says, Without the benefits of vision the ears seem to work much better.
Previous studies have shown that blind people are better than others at reaching out and touching the sources of sounds that are close by. Researchers from the University of Montreal wanted to see if blind people were also better at locating sounds that are far away. www.
Twenty-three blind people participated in the study. All had been sightless for at least 20 years. Fourteen of them had lost their vision before age 11. The rest went blind after age 16. The experiment also included 10 people who could see but were wearing blindfolds.
In one task, volunteers had to pick the direction of a sound coming from about 3 meters away. When the sound was in front of them or slightly off center in front, both groups performed equally well.
When sounds came from the side or the back, however, the blind group performed much better than the blindfolded group. The participants who had been blind since childhood did slightly better than those who lost their sight later.
Recognizing the locations of distant sounds can be a matter of life-or-death for blind people, say the researchers. Crossing the street, for instance, is much harder when you can’t see the cars coming.
Still, the researchers were surprised by how well the blind participants did, especially those who went blind after age 16. In another experiment, the scientists also found that parts of the brain that normally deal with visual information became active in locating sound in the people who were blind by age 11. These brain parts didn’t show sound-location activity in the other group of blind people or in the sighted people. The scientists now want to learn more about the workings of brains of “late-onset” blind people.
53.The recent study shows blind people are better at telling .
A．the sources of loud sounds
B．the locations of distant sounds
C．the direction of sharp sounds
D．the distance of a sound in front of them
54.Which would be a proper title for the passage?
A．A research on Blind People
B．Where is That Noise Coming From
C．Hearing Better in the Dark
D．What If Living Without Your Eyes?
55.Which of the following statement is true?
A. The researchers are quite sure about the workings of brains of “late-onset” blind people.
B. People who were blind before age 11 are better at crossing the street than those after 16.
C. Parts of the brain of those who went blind by age 11 became active in locating sound.
D. The blind folded performed better at locating sounds in front.
56.If people were asked to tell the direction of a sound from the side, who would perform best?
A. Those who are blind.B. Those who have gone blind since children.
C. Those who went blind at age 16. D. Those who are blindfolded.

Accidents are caused; they don’t just happen. The reason may be easy to see: an overloaded tray, a shelf out of reach, a patch of ice on the road. But more often than not there is a chain of events leading up to the misfortune-frustration, tiredness or just bad temper-that show what the accident really is, a sort of attack on oneself.
Road accidents, for example, happen frequently after a family quarrel, and we all know people who are accident-prone, so often at odds with themselves and the world that they seem to cause accidents for themselves and others.
By definition, an accident is something you cannot predict or avoid, and the idea which used to be current, that the majority of road accidents are caused by a minority of criminally careless drivers, is not supported by insurance statistics. These show that most accidents involve ordinary motorists in a moment of carelessness or thoughtlessness.
It is not always clear, either, what sort of conditions make people more likely to have an accident. For instance, the law requires all factories to take safety actions and most companies have safety committees to make sure the regulations are observed, but still, every day in Britain, some fifty thousand men and women are absent from work due to an accident. These accidents are largely the result of human error or misjudgment-noise and fatigue, boredom or worry are possible factors which contribute to this. Doctors who work in factories have found that those who drink too much, usually people who have a high anxiety level, run three times the normal risk of accidents at work.
57.This passage might be taken from .
A．a text bookB．a science story
C．a popular magazineD．a report of a businessman
58.“Accident-prone” here (in Paragraph 2) means .
A．likely to have accidentsB．injured in accidents

59.The passage suggests that .
A．accidents mostly result from slippery roads
B．accidents are usually caused by psychological factors
C．doctors run three times the normal risk of accidents in factories
D．about 50,000 people lost their lives at work in Britain every day
60.Which of the following is NOT discussed as a factor of accidents in this passage?
A．MoodB．CarelessnessC．TirednessD．Weather
61.What do you think would be the best title for the passage?
A．Accidents and AnxietyB．How accidents Are Caused

Dreams: Making Them Work for Us
Several nights a week Joseph woke up screaming from the same terrible dream. Joseph could never recall his whole dream, though. He only remembered that someone was running after him. Joseph was trying to get away, but in his dream he could not move. He continued having this nightmare for months. He was so tired in the morning that it was hard for him to go to work.
Milton Kramer, a psychiatrist and dreamer researcher, found that people wake up feeling very discouraged after they have a bad dream, while after having a good dream, people feel more optimistic. Clearly, dreams can have harmful or beneficial effects. As a result, Kramer believes that we need to learn how to change our bad dreams.
Before we can begin to change a nightmare, however, we first have to remember what happened in our dream. Actually, there are many ways to do this. We can keep a journal or diary of what we do when we are awake. Then, before going to sleep, we can review our day. As we begin to fall asleep, we should remind ourselves that we want to remember our dreams. When we wake up, we should lie still while we try to remember our dream. We should also try to remember an important word or picture from the dream. This image makes the rest of the dream easier to remember. Finally, if we have trouble remembering dreams, we can try sleeping later. The longer we sleep, the longer and clearer our dreams will be.
Dr. Rosalind Cartwright is a dream researcher, too. She has developed another dream treatment for changing dreams. According to Dr. Cartwright, dream treatment involves four simple steps. The first step is to recognize when you care having a bad dream that will make you feel helpless or upset the next morning. The second step is to identify what it is about the dream that will make you feel bad-for example, weak instead of strong, or out of control instead of in control. Next, stop and bad dream. You do not have to continue your bad dream, because you are in charge. The last step is to change the negative part of the dream. Sometimes you may have to wake yourself up and change the dream before you return to sleep. Other times it is possible to change the dream while you are still asleep.
By using dream treatment, Joseph was able to change his nightmares. Generally, his bad dreams stopped altogether. He began having more positive dreams and woke up feeling refreshed and cheerful. Stopping a nightmare and changing it to a positive dream experience can be physically and psychologically beneficial to us all.
62.What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Dreams are very important, and it is possible to change a bad dream into a good dream.
B. Joseph was finally able to change his nightmares by using dream treatment.
C. Dream treatment has four simple steps for success.
D. Joseph succeeded in stopping the nightmares.
63.Put the following dream treatment steps in the correct order.
a. Change the negative part of the dream.
b. Identify the part of the dream that makes you feel bad.
c. Recognize when you are having a bad dream.
d. Stop your bad dream.
A．cbdaB．acbdC．bacdD．dcba
64.How many ways does the passage present to help us remember our dreams?
A．4B．3C．6D．5
65.Which statement is NOT true?
A．The dream treatment is effective.
B．Dreams can make us hurtful or helpful.
C．Changing a nightmare is good for all people.
D．You can change the bad dreams only while sleeping.
