Each of us must choose which we want to 36 our future and our expectations. We can choose to laugh or c

10、ry, bless or 37 . Its our decision: From which perspective do we want to view life? Will we look up in 38 or down in desperation? I believe in the upward look. I choose to 39 the positive and skip right over the negative.An optimistic attitude is not a luxury; its a(n) 40 . The way you look at life

11、will determine how you feel, how you perform, and how well you will get along with other people. 41 , negative thoughts, attitudes, and expectations 42 themselves; they become a self-fulfilling prophecy (預(yù)言). Pessimism creates a dark place where no one wants to live.Years ago, I drove into a service

12、 station to get some gas. It was a beautiful day, and I was feeling great. As I walked into the station to pay for the gas, the attendant said to me, “How do you feel?” That seemed like a(n) 43 question, but I felt fine and told him so. “You dont look well,” he replied. This 44 me completely by surp

13、rise. A little 45 confidently, I told him that I had 46 felt better. Without hesitation, he continued to tell me how bad I looked and that my skin appeared yellow.By the time I left the service station, I was feeling a little 47 . About a block away, I 48 over to the side of the road to look at my f

14、ace in the mirror. How did I feel? Was I affected with jaundice(黃疸)? Was everything all right? By the time I got home, I was beginning to feel a little nauseous(惡心). Did I have a bad liver? Had I 49 some rare disease?On another beautiful day, when I went into that gas station, feeling 50 again, I fi

15、gured out what had happened. The place had recently been painted a bright, distasteful 51 , and the light reflecting 52 the walls made everyone inside look as though they had hepatitis（肝炎）! I wondered how many other folks had 53 the way I did. I had let one short conversation with a total 54 change

16、my attitude for an entire day. He told me I looked sick, and before long, I was actually feeling sick. That single 55 observation had a great effect on the way I felt and acted.The only thing more powerful than negativism is a word of optimism and hope. When a whole culture adopts an upward look, in

Thats because his parents say he can communicate in three languages. He is three years oldSince he wa

21、s ten months old，his mother, Momoe，has been taking him to Learn parole five times a week in a center where he is taught to listen, speak and interact in English, Mandarin and Japanese. He attends a language school in the city that offers courses for children as young as a few months old.Some parents

22、 will even pay a tutor to speak in a particular language for an hour in the belief that their baby will absorb this. This is just one of the many examples of how parents in Hong Kong are trying to get ahead of the game by giving their children a competitive edge in the race for limited school places

23、.With a large expatriate（移居外國者）community and an increase in mainland Chinese parents wishing to send their kids across the border to school, Hong Kongs world-class educational system is under siege （被包圍）with applicationsAnd this pressure is being felt by parents, many of whom are starting early and

24、trying their best to outshine thousands of other applicants for limited pre-school opportunities, believing it will give them an advantage when it comes to getting a primary school place.At this time of year，parents go into a frenzy（瘋狂）queuing for application forms at schools across Hong Kong. In th

25、e citys northern district, Hong Kong and mainland parents have even camped out overnight to get their hands on the right admission forms. According to Fung Kai Kindergarten in the citys Sheung Shui district, around 2,000 people queued up to apply for only 240 available spaces on October 7the police

26、were even called in to deal with complaints about people cutting the queue.In Hong Kong，where formal preschool education begins at the age of three，many prospective parents begin mapping out education plans before their children are born. Desmidt, an expatriate mother living in Hong Kong, revealed s

27、he started looking for potential kindergartens and playgroups during her pregnancy. “In Hong Kong, if you dont get into a good pre-nursery or kindergarten, its really difficult to get into a good primary school, and thats why you already have to have a plan when you are pregnant.”56It can be inferre

28、d that parents in Hong Kong .Athink education in kindergarten is very necessaryBspend much on their childrens language learningCtry their best to help children with studyDtry to set examples for others in childrens education57Why is it more difficult to apply for Hong Kongs schools?ABecause more kid

29、s in the mainland are studying there.BBecause education in Hong Kong is the best of the world.CBecause children in Hong Kong are outstanding.DBecause the education starting point in Hong Kong is high.BRichard Allen, a lecturer in psychology at Leeds University, has worked on many final year disserta

30、tions（論文）, and considers them one of the most rewarding and productive experiences that university offers students. If students plunge in（投入）blindly, all options not considered, the final semester of university can be very bleak indeed.“The process embeds（深入）the students in the research experience,

31、encourages them to take ownership of their work, and develops a range of specific and transferable skills that can be used in their future careers,” he says.“This extended process of cooperation between students and supervisor（論文導(dǎo)師）is therefore a key part of a degrees training, and is certainly pref

32、erable to just running yet another taught module. Even for me personally (15 years afterwards), I have detailed memories of working on my final year dissertation, but do not remember what any of my final year taught modules were!”O(jiān)n contact hours and the benefits for individuals he adds, “It does de

33、pend on the strengths of the student, and the support available from the supervisor, with the latter varying with the subject, university, department, individual, and workload, which is, unfortunately, ever-increasing.”The decision holds the same conflicts as any module choice. Good marks and employ

34、ability will always be priorities（優(yōu)先事項(xiàng)）, and in the final year the pressure is on to make the most of a degree.Lewis Buxton, a third year at University of East Anglia (UEA), will write a creative writing dissertation. He said of the opportunity to work with his tutor, “It is possibly one of the few

35、times in my life that I will work with one person in private on a collection of poems and have the time and the resources to do whatever I want with it.”“I do not always agree with independent study as it is marketed by the university but I definitely hope that this is a situation where I am support

36、ed and yet allowed a lot of freedom to do what I want with my work.”The anxious third-year gives surprisingly heartening insight; stress is rarely founded in hatred of hard work. It is the fear of not doing themselves or their topic justice. Where dissertations are undertaken, they are devoted to, e

37、nthused over, and become a unique, valuable project. But that only happens when the question, the tutor, and the university policies are right.58Richard Allen thinks that working on dissertations .Aduring holidays is not worthwhileBhelps develop professional abilitiesCmust be carried out under the t

38、utors guideDhas nothing to do with taught modules59We can infer from the passage that Richard Allen .Agraduated from university in the late 1990sBis too busy to help and support his studentsCtaught how to write dissertations at schoolDworked on dissertations in university for fifteen years60What do

39、you know about Lewis Buxton?AHe thinks the dissertation is an independent job.BHe wrote a collection of poems on his own.CHe sometimes agrees to cooperate with others in studies.DHe thinks others help may spoil his freedom.61About stress of dissertations the author thinks that it .Aappears when you

40、desire to be successfulBdoesnt matter once you dont care about itCgets more serious if youre sick of hard workDcomes from doubting whether you are equal to dissertations writingCWhy should mankind explore space? Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so f

41、ew apparent benefits? Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth?These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked.Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup(基因構(gòu)成) as human beings. What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the

42、 plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival. Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.Nearly every successful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any

43、 dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for. Without knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger. With knowledge, we can lessen its effects.Exploration also allows minerals and other potential resources to be found. Even if we have no immediate need of them, they wil

44、l perhaps be useful later. Resources may be more than physical possessions. Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration. The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives. We have already benefited from other spin-offs including impr

45、ovements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems. Even non-stick pans and mirrored sunglasses are by-products of technological developments in space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist.While many resources are spent on what seems a smal

46、l return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us. While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangers. The danger exists, but knowledge can help

47、human beings to survive. Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist.While Earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets. It is true that the lifestyle would be different,

48、but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future.62. Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraph1?A. To express his doubts. B. To compare different ideas.C. To introduce points for discussion. D. To describe the conditions on Earth.63. What is the reason

49、 for exploring space based on Paragraph2?A. Humans are nature-born to do so. B. Humans have the tendency to fight.C. Humans may find new sources of food. D. Humans dont like to stay in the same place.64. The underlined word“spin-offs” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to_.A. survival chances B. potenti

50、al resourcesC. unexpected benefits D. physical possessions65. What makes it possible for humans to live on other planets?A. Our genetic makeup. B. Resources on the earth.C. The adaptive ability of humans. D. By-products in space exploration.66. Which of the statements can best sum up the passage?A.

51、Space exploration has created many wonders.B. Space exploration provided the best value for money. C. Space exploration can benefit science and technology.D. Space exploration may help us avoid potential problems on Earth. DThe teacher was leaving the village, and everybody seemed sorry. The miller

52、at Cresscombe lent him the small cart and horse to carry his goods to Christminster, the city of his destination, such a vehicle proving of quite enough size for the teachers belongings. For his only article, in addition to the packing-case of books, was a piano that he had bought when he thought of

53、 learning instrumental music. But the eagerness having faded, he had never acquired any skill in playing, and the purchased article had been a permanent trouble to him. The headmaster had gone away for the day, being a man who disliked the sight of changes. He did not mean to return till the evening

54、, when the new teacher would have arrived, and everything would be smooth again. The blacksmith, the farm bailiff and the teacher were standing in confused attitudes in the sitting room before the instrument. The teacher had remarked that even if he got it into the cart he should not know what to do

55、 with it on his arrival at Christminster, since he was only going into a temporary place just at first. A little boy of eleven, who had been assisting in the packing, joined the group of men, and said, Aunt has got a fuel-house, and it could be put there, perhaps, till youve found a place to settle in, sir.Good idea, said the blacksmith.The smith and the bailiff started to see about the possibility of the suggested shelter, and the boy and the te
