  A

  True to their reputation as leisure-loving gourmets(美食家),the French spend more time sleeping and eating than anyone else among the world's wealthy nations,according to a study published on Monday.

  The average French person sleeps almost nine hours every night,more than an hour longer than Japanese and Korean,who sleep the least in a survey of 18 members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).Despite their siesta(午睡)habit,Spaniards rank only third in the poll after Americans,who sleep more than 8.5 hours.

  And while more and more French people grab a bite at fast-food chains these days or,wolf down a sandwich at their desk,they still spend more than two hour’s a day eating.

  That means their meals are twice as long as those of the average Mexican,who dedicates just over an hour a day to food,the OECD’s “Society at a Glance” report on work,health and leisure in Asia,Europe and North and South America found.The Japanese,scrimping (吝啬) on sleep and burdened with long working hours,still manage to spend close to two hours a day eating and drinking,placing them third behind New Zealanders.

  Despite the limited amount of time Americans spend eating each day---about an hour and a quarter--U.S.obesity肥胖) rates are the highest in the 30 members of OECD.

  The Japanese like to spend what remains of their rare free time watching television or listening to the radio.This takes up 47 percent of leisure time in Japan.Norwegians spend the most time at leisure,just over a quarter of their day,while at the low end,Mexicans spend just 16 percent of their time having fun.

  The OECD has 30 members.The survey covers only the countries for which appropriate figures were available.

  From a very early age,some children exhibit better self-control than others.Now,a new study that began with about 1,000 children in New Zealand has tracked how a child's low self-control can predict poor health,money troubles and even a criminal record in their adult years.

  Researchers have been studying this group of children for decades now.They observed the level of self-control the youngsters displayed. Parents,teachers,even the kids themselves,scored the youngsters on measures like "acting before thinking" and "Persistence in reaching goals.”

  The study led by Moffitt of Duke University and colleagues followed 1,000 children from birth to age 32 in Dunedin,New Zealand.

  "The children who had the lowest self-control when they were age three to ten,later on had the most health problems in their 30s," Moffitt said,"and they had the worst financial situation.They were more likely to have a criminal record and to be raising a child as a single parent on a very low income.Moffitt explained that self-control problems were widely observed,and weren't just a feature of a small group of misbehaving kids.

  Moffitt said it's still unclear why some children have better self-control than others,though she said other researchers have found that it's mostly a learned- behavior,with relatively little genetic influence.But good self-control can be set to run in families because children with good self-control are more likely to grow up to be healthy and prosperous parents.But the good news,Moffitt said,is that self-control can be taught by parents,and through school curricula that have been shown to be effective.

  61.From the first two paragraphs we learn that______.

  A.the research has been carried out for five years

  B.self-control was assessed by children's intelligence

  C.self-control in kids tends to determine their future

  D.children's self-control is almost the same at early age

  C.have better financial planning

  D.become wealthy in later life

  63.According to Moffitt,_____.

  A.only good genetic factors can shape their lives in the future

  B.willpower as a child really influences people's chances of adulthood

  C.self-control in childhood has nothing to do with criminal activity

  D.scientists know well why some children have better self-control

  64.What can be inferred from the passage?

  A.Self-control cannot be taught in schools.

  B.The study is restricted within few participants.

  C.Good parenting can improve self-control and life success.

  D. It's never too late to deal with self-control problems.

  65.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?

  When the Japanese attacked America’s ships at Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941,they did it secretly.The makers of the movie Pearl Harbor have behaved differently.

  The noise about Pearl Harbor,made by Disney,has reached its highest point with its premiere (首次公演) before the movie opens in cinemas across the US at the start of the Memorial Day holiday weekend,a time to recall national heroes who sacrificed their lives on the battlefield.

  As Ben Affleck is the main star,the movie seems sure to become a success in the United States at least.

  At almost three hours in length,it promises to be a good old Hollywood movie.There is a love story.Affleck and his co-star,Josh Hartnett,both fall in love with the navy nurse,Kate Beckinsale and,of course,there is much human courage and love of country.

  It’s certain that Disney will be accused of “changing” history.The showing of actual events in a movie always causes arguments.

  Bits of the story are deliberately not mentioned in the movie. It does not address the theory held by some historians that President Franklin Roosevelt knew about Japan’s intention to attack the ships in Pearl Harbor.It is said he did nothing,as he was aware that such a blow would allow him to take America into the Second World War.

  Japan remains sensitive about being accused of wartime atrocities (暴行).And Disney is sensitive about its business in Japan,where it has a theme park.

  Not all the reviews of the movie have been full of praise.A reviewer for Newsweek,who was given an early preview,acknowledged that the 40-minute sequence (连续镜头) showing the attack itself was powerful.The attack comes quite late in the movie,however,and the reviewer was less impressed with the characters and the love story.

  “Almost every line of the dialogue sounds like it comes from an old movie,” the reviewer wrote.

  66.From the passage we can infer that the Memorial Day refers to________.

  A.the day the United States was founded

  B.the day people remember their ancestors

  C.a day people celebrate the victories of World War Ⅱ

  D.a day people remember those who died in wars

  67.From the passage we know that Ben Affleck________.

  A.regarded Josh Hartnett as an enemy

  B.may be a very popular movie star

  C.experienced the Pearl Harbor Incident

  D.was in love with the actress Kate Beckinsale

  68.Which of the following statements is TRUE about Pearl Harbor?

  A.The movie will cause a lot of arguments.

  B.The movie has made the Japanese angry.

  C.The movie truly describes the Pearl Harbor Incident.

  D.The movie shows that President Roosevelt knew about Japan’s intention.

  69.According to the passage,what does the reviewer for Newsweek think of the movie?

  A.The scenes of the attack leave no impression.

  B.The dialogue in the movie is original and creative.

  C.The attack scenes occupy too much time of the movie.

  D. The characters and the love story are less attractive.

  70.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

  A.Ben Affleck in Pearl Harbor.

  B.The True Fact of Pearl Harbor.

  C.Reviewer:Pearl Harbor is a success.

  D.Attention!Pearl Harbor is arriving.

  One of today's hottest topics among women (and to an extent among men too now) is anti aging and how to reverse the signs of age.The beauty industry has responded to this by offering a wide collection of anti aging creams and other anti aging products aimed at all pocketbooks,ranging from economical to highly priced.

  And the question is “do any of these often much-vaunted (被过度吹嘘的) anti aging creams actually work?” And if they do,how precisely do they perform their miracles?

  Well the appropriate response to that is that they do work - after a fashion.There certainly are anti aging creams available for a relatively modest price that will reduce the appearance of wrinkles in a comparatively short period of regular application.But this really is the limit of their powers: they won't actually undo skin damage or eradicate (根除) all signs of age;they will simply modify them,some more effectively than others.

  The way they work is like so: they remove upper layers of dead skin cells and make deeper layers absorb water,serving to plump them up and make them look fuller and healthier.But since such anti aging creams only go skin deep,as it were,skin damage will reappear once you stop using the anti aging wrinkle cream.

  This means fairly heavy regular use,which might be costly depending on your choice of product.However,if you can afford it or think it's worth the cost,it won't be such an issue.After all,what woman wants to look older than her years when looking good is so tied up with many women's self-esteem and sense of identity.

  A compromise (折中) solution for those on a tighter budget is to use the cheaper creams.In addition,it's always wise to be a little experimental to make sure you end up with the one that suits your skin best.

  So,to sum up: an anti wrinkle face cream will work within limits,depending on your objective.

  71.This passage mainly tells us something about __________.

  A.anti aging creams

  B.anti aging foods

  C.anti wrinkle face

  D.anti wrinkle skin

  72.According to the author,we can infer __________.

  A.anti aging creams must reverse the signs of age

  B.skin damage must not reappear after using creams

  C.anti aging creams should be properly used

  D.skin damage will disappear forever after using creams

  73.The benefits from anti aging creams are the following except that __________.

  A.they remove upper layers of dead skin cells

  B.they make deeper layers absorb water

  C.they make layers look fuller and healthier.

  D.they make wrinkle faces rough

  74.The meaning of the underlined phrase “on a tighter budget” is __________.

  A.having a larger amount of money

  B.having a smaller amount of money

  C.having no money at all

  D.having a lot of money

  75.Fairly heavy regular use will make you __________.

  When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say: “Let’s start with a train whistle today.” We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too, were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped.

  When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend. He was in despair (失望) and I was in despair. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other.

  For almost four years I have had remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other’s dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my most interesting moments, I often think: “Yes, I must tell….”We have never met.

  It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist(心理学家),who will only fill up the healing(愈合的)silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.

  56. In the eighth grade, what the author did before developing proper social behavior was to ______.

  A. become serious about her study

  A. call each other regularly

  I still remember the days when I was a youthful student in an engineering school. I lived a casual life, without caring about the future. I smoked, drank with friends and made girl friends. Little did I realize that casualness would certainly lead to loss.

  Two yeas had passed and I was staring down a report card that highlighted FAIL in more than half the subjects. I didn’t care, at least not till my dad found about it. You see, I studied in India and unlike the United States where the students are expected to finance their own education, my dad financed me.

  Then came the day when my dad found out my habit of smoking. He lost his temper but he just told me, “Son, your allowance is cut in half from this moment on”. It hit me like a roundhouse kick (回旋踢) from Bruce Lee. I was jolted (震摇) out of my bones! I couldn’t comprehend how to pay off the debts that I had accumulated in college. I owed everybody money: the grocery store, the bars, the restaurants, my friends, etc. I was living a life filled with credit.

  When I went back to college, I knew that if I don’t change the way I live my life I won’t be able to pay everybody off. So I decided to make some changes, drastic changes. I quit smoking, cut off from my friends who led me down the wrong road, starting hanging out in libraries and reading my engineering books.

  One year later, I went from a miserable failure to a magna cum laude (优等成绩). Life was never the same again. This incident made me know that anything is possible if you take action and do something about it, however small or large. Even today it still motivates me when I feel that I’m about to lose or give up. It reminds me that I can do it!

  Elena Kagan has reached a lifelong goal: becoming a Justice on the United States Supreme Court. The US Senate confirmed Kagan on Thursday by a vote of 63-37. She replaces Justice John Paul Stevens, who retired in June.

  Kagan will take a sacred oath (誓言) to uphold the Constitution of the United States on Saturday at a swearing-in ceremony. The new Justice will bring the number of women sitting on the nation’s highest court to three. Kagan joins Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor-all three New Yorkers.

  Kagan is the fourth woman in history to sit on the Supreme Court. Justice Sandra Day O’Connor was the first female Justice. She was appointed by President Ronald Reagan and served from 1981to 2006.

  Kagan, who is 50 years old, is the second Justice appointed by President Barack Obama. (He appointed Justice Sotomayor in 2009.) Obama told reporters on Thursday that Kagan will make an “outstanding Justice who understands that her rulings affect people.” He also noted that the addition of another woman to the Supreme Court marks a sign of progress for the country. Obama and Kagan will celebrate her confirmation with a ceremony at the White House today.

  Kagan has spent most of her adult life working with the law. She served in President Clinton’s administration as a legal adviser, was the head of Harvard Law School, and until her confirmation Thursday, was the US Solicitor General-one of the most powerful lawyers in the federal government. Kagan was born in New York City. She grew up in an apartment on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, the strong-willed, independent middle sister sandwiched between two brothers.

  Kagan’s mother was a public school teacher who taught fifth and sixth grades. Her father was a lawyer.

  The new Justice once wore a judge’s robe in a picture for her high-school yearbook. Now she’ll be wearing real ones as she and the other eight Justices decide some of the most important legal cases.

  71. What can we infer according to paragraph 1?

  A. Elena Kagan has become the only female Justice of America.

  B. It’s Kagan’s dream to be a Justice on the United States Supreme Court.

  C. Kagan achieved this position in the election by beating John Paul Stevens.

  D. It will take a long time for Kagan to become a Justice on the United States Supreme Court.

  72. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?

  A. To take the place of an old Justice, a Justice was elected by the Senate.

  B. There will be four women working in the United States Supreme Court.

  C. Kagan will take a sacred oath before taking in part in the election.

  D. No one but a New Yorker can be a Justice of the Supreme Court.

  73. What can we infer from Obama’s words?

  A. He will appoint more women Justices to the Supreme Court.

  B. He appointed Kagan as she had done a good job before.

  C. There is much to be improved on the Supreme Court.

  D. He is sure Kagan will be excellent in her new work.

  74. What is the main idea of paragraph 5?

  A. Kagan is a born lawyer.

  B. It is about Kagan’s biography.

  C. Kagan’s character is fit for her job.

  D. Kagan has worked for two Presidents.

  President Obama is encouraging moms to make their education a priority. While encouraging people of all ages to seek their education, Obama is particularly targeting working moms with his Scholarships for Moms program. The Scholarships for Moms program builds on the federal government’s long-standing offer of Pell Grants. To encourage more mothers to return to school, the Obama administration is now making some changes.

  For the Scholarships for Moms program, the biggest incentive is the amount of money being offered. The maximum amount awarded through Pell Grants is about $4,000 per student, but for mothers who apply to the program, the amount is increased to $5,000. The aim of these grants is to allow working moms to return to school and earn a degree that allows them to better provide for their families now and in the future. In addition, the administration hopes that equipping mothers to earn more money as working professionals will also be a stimulus to the economy.

  In addition, a great incentive for mums considering this program is that it applies to enrollment in nearly any type of higher education institution. Four-year universities as well as smaller community colleges, are covered. You can go to a private school or a public one. An option for busy moms who can’t stay on campus is to study through online courses. Basically the government’s Scholarships for Moms program is a comprehensive attempt to get mothers who are keen on study back into the classroom.

  With the Obama scholarship, the worry of returning to school is removed. In almost any area of interest, working moms can earn a degree. This means they can be fully equipped to provide for their families. Higher education no longer has to be an unfulfilled wish or unobtainable goal. The Scholarships for Moms program was designed to help create a brighter future for mothers and their children.

  From the first paragraph we can know that ______.

  people of all ages to go college in America

  Obama values mom’s education very much

  Moms should try to support their families

  Many mothers refuse to go to school now

  More money is offered by the Scholarships for Moms program in order to ______.

  help mothers to make a living

  inspire people to learn from mothers

  persuade more students to work harder

  encourage moms to go back to school

  The phrase “equipping mothers” (in paragraph 2) probably refers mothers who ______.

  A. have a degree

  B. are dressed well

  C. stay at home

  D. own much money

  Many moms probably appreciate the program because ______.

  they can make more money at school

  the university lasts as long as four years

  there are more chances for them to choose

  they like the atmosphere in the classroom

  Who will benefit from the Obama scholarship most?

  A. Teacher and their students.

  B. Working moms and their children.

  C. All the schools and their families.

  D. Fathers and mothers in America.

  We all know that money can’t buy happiness,but many times we act as if we’d be happier with a bit more money. We are conditioned to want to be rich (when we know the rich aren’t happy either); we are trained to want the latest gadget or style that television tells us to want; we want to earn more money because then we’ll have the good life.

  But none of that will bring us happiness. No matter how much we earn, how much we have in the bank, how nice our clothing or cars or toys, none of it will make us happier.

  So what will bring us happiness? Luckily, it’s three things that don’t cost a thing. These three things have been proven by surveys of thousands of people about what they have, what their lives are like, and how happy they are.

  Here they are, the Three Secrets to Happiness:

  1. Good relationships. We have a human need to be close, to be intimate, with other human beings. Having good, supportive friendships, a strong marriage or close and loving relationships with our family members will make us much more likely to be happy.

  Action steps: Take time, today, to spend time with your loved ones.

  2. Positive thinking. I’m obviously a big proponent of positive thinking as the best way to achieve your goals, but it turns out that it can lead to happiness too. Optimism and self-esteem are some of the best indicators of people who lead happy lives.

  Action steps: Make positive thinking a habit. Get into the habit of squashing all negative thoughts and replacing them with positive ones. Instead of “I can’t” think “I can”.

  3. Flow. This is a popular concept on the Internet these days — the state we enter when
