4、id only $110 for the round-trip ticket to Paris. Air-couriers get cheap airline tickets because they take important packages and papers to foreign countries.

10、egan to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunts house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought

11、of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was

12、going to see the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New Yor

13、k I was really lost having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to

14、“the hard times”My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills

15、 with company representatives.From my experiences I have learned one important rule：almost all common troubles eventually go away！Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little！I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be

The latest research makes it known that the reason could be that mens hearts go into

19、 rapid decline when they reach middle age.The largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that womens longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age.“We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25 percent between 18 and

20、 70 years of age,” said the head of the study, David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK.“Within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat. Between the age of 20 and 70, one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men,” said Goldspink. “This is part of

21、 the ageing process.”What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells. A healthy 70-year-old womans heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old ones.“This gender difference might just explain why women live longer than men,” said Goldspink. They studied

22、 more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 80, focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease. “The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart,” said Goldspink.The good news is that men can improve the health of their heart w

23、ith regular exercise. Goldspink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age.36. The underlined word “l(fā)ongevity” in the second paragraph probably refers to “_”.A. health B. long life C. ageing D. effect37. The text mainly talks a

24、bout _.A. mens heart cells B. womens ageing process、C. the gender difference D. hearts and long life38. according to the text, the UK scientists have known that _.A. women have more cells than men when they are bornB. women can replace the cells that enable the heart to beatC. the female heart loses

If you want to live longer, you should _.A. enable your heart to beat much faster B. find out the reason for ageingC. exercise regularly to keep your heart healthy D. prevent your cells from being lost40. We can know from

26、the passage that _.A. the reason why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart has been found outB. scientists are on the way to finding out why the male heart loses more of the cellsC. the team has done something to prevent the male from suffering the greater lossD. women over 70 could lose mor

27、e heart cells than those at the age of 20DWho says Americans worship the almighty dollar？Its not true. Having enough free time is more important to most Americans than being rich, according to a new poll.Only 13 percent of more than 2,400 people questioned in the telephone poll ranked being wealthy

28、as most important to them, while 67 percent ranked free time as their top priority, higher than having a successful career, getting married, and having children. “Everyone wants free time to do the things they want to do, young, middle-aged or old,” said Richard Morin, of the Pew Social & Demogr

29、aphic Trends Project, which conducted the survey. “So our desire to play unites us.”The poll also showed that people who were university educated valued career success over wealth, so did middle-aged people. Not surprisingly, those who didnt have money, ranked wealth very highly. This included minor

30、ities, first generation Americans and less educated people. The survey also revealed that a disproportionate(不成比例的) number of people under the age of 30 and retirees in the group made $20,000 or less a year. But the emphasis on wealth lessens with age, with younger people putting value on it but har

31、dly any seniors. “It just diminishes with time as the reality sets in that you would never be rich,” Morin said. “But also, the reality sets in that you dont have to be rich to lead a very comfortable and fulfilling life.”While wealth was not at the top of peoples list of priorities, 43 percent stil

32、l said it was somewhat important.41The poll showed that the majority of American people ranked _ as the most important.Awealth Ba successful careerCmarriage Dfree time42Who cares least for wealth, according to the passage?AYoung people.

47、 tall, strong and handsome, and women, young, beautiful and attractive, too.

48、a young lady or a young man?A few models are well-known actors or actresses who can make a lot of money only by showing themselves off in commercials. But the majority of them are just curious to see what it is like. Theyd like to be models just because they are attracted by what they imagine models

49、 earn a lot of money and lead a glorious life. This is true for those who are very successful. However, most models find it difficult to get work. Very few can earn enough to live on, and for all models their expenses are high. Their agents claim about 20% of the earnings, and no model will get very

50、 far without a clever agent. Besides, they have to buy good clothing. They also have to pay to travel to interviews and reach the places where the work is to be done. Interviews for a model job are known as cattle-markets in the modeling world, and not without a good reason. A top model can choose h

51、is or her work, demand and receive high fees and has his or her expenses paid. But for most models, the situation is quite different. And agent or employer inspects each model much as a farmer inspects cattle at a market. Intelligence, qualifications and personal characteristics count for little aga

52、inst good looks and tight figures. For all except the very few lucky ones, the life of a model is a continual search for work, trying to sell himself or herself in the face of fierce competition and, sometimes, not particularly moral standards on the part of some employers. Immigration officials at

53、airport look suspiciously at a girl whose passport shows her occupation as “Model”, and these are men and women of considerable experience of the world. It comes no surprise to find that some models prefer to put “Secretary” or “Businessman” as their jobs in their passports. Modeling is a changeable
