Cara Lang is 13. She lives in Boston, Massachusetts, in the U. S. Last Thursday, she didn't go to school. She went to work with her father instead. Every year, on the fourth Thursday in April, millions of young girls go to work. This is Take Our Daughters to Work Day. The girls are between the ages of 9 and 15. They spend the day at work with an adult, usually a mother, father, aunt, or uncle. They go to offices, police stations, laboratories, and other places where their parents or other family members work. Next year, the day will include sons, too.
The Ms. Foundation, an organization for women, started the program about ten years ago. In the U.S., many women work outside the home. The Ms. Foundation wanted girls to find out about many different kinds of jobs. Then, when the girls grow up, they can choose a job they like.
Cara's father is a film director. Cara says, “It was very exciting for me to go to the studio with my dad. I saw a lot of people doing different jobs.” Many businesses have special activities for girls on this day. Last year, Cara went to work with her aunt at the University of Massachusetts. In the engineering department, the girls learned to build a bridge with toothpicks(牙签) and candy. In the chemistry department, they learned to use scales(天平). They learned about many other kinds of jobs, too.

At the age of sixteen, I joined a volunteer group with my dad. I went on my first volunteer project in West Virginia. On the night we arrived, we discovered that “our family” was living in a trailer(拖车) that was in poor condition. A crew had been working on it for two weeks, but every time they finished one problem, another surfaced.
We decided the only reasonable solution was to build a new house – something unusual but necessary under these circumstances. The family was overjoyed with their new house that was twenty by thirty feet with three bedrooms, a bath and a kitchen.
On Tuesday of that week, while we ate lunch together, I asked the family’s three boys, Josh, Eric and Ryan, "What do you want for your new room?" Expecting toys and other gadgets that children usually ask for, we were surprised when Josh responded, "I just want a bed."
The boys had never slept in a bed! They were accustomed to plastic mats. That night we had a meeting and decided that beds would be the perfect gift. On Thursday night, a few adults in our group drove to the nearest city and bought beds and new bedding.
When we saw the delivery truck coming, we told the family about the surprise. We could hardly contain ourselves. It was like watching excited children on Christmas morning.
That afternoon, as we fitted the frames of the beds together, Eric ran into the house to watch us. Too dirty to enter his room, he observed with wide-eyed enthusiasm from the doorway.
As my father slipped a pillowcase onto one of the pillows, Eric asked, "What is that?"
"A pillow," she replied.
"What do you do with it?" Eric continued to ask.
"When you go to sleep, you put your head on it,” I answered softly. Tears came to our eyes as he handed Eric the pillow.
"Oh . . . that's soft," he said, hugging it tightly.
Now, when my sister or I start to ask for something that seems urgent, my Dad gently asks, "Do you have a pillow?"
We know exactly what he means.
60.The writer’s first volunteer project was
.
A.working on a poor trailer
B.helping a poor family
C.donating beds and bedding D.dealing with a housing problem
61.On hearing Josh’s answer, the writer was shocked because
.
A.the family lived in a trailer
B.he expected to get some toys
C.he didn’t know what a bed was D.the boys had no bed to sleep in
62.From the passage, we can learn that Eric had never seen
before.
A.a trailer
B.a truck C.a pillow D.a house
63.By saying “Do you have a pillow?”, the writer’s father means that
.
A.what they want to get may be unnecessary
B.they should not waste money on small things
C.they should do more volunteer work for the poor
D.what he will buy is not what they want but a pillow
C
If you take a look at the best-selling books in the UK these days, it is almost certain that there will be a lot of autobiographies in that list. Bill Clinton, Nelson Mandela and actor Michael J Fox have all written them.
An autobiography is the story of a person’s life, written by that person. It is usually a very famous person who might tell us all about their childhood, how they became famous and any other interesting things that have happened in their lives.
Traditionally, someone would write an autobiography when they were older because they had had a long, successful life. However, these days there are many magazines with stories and photos of the stars which sell very well. Reality TV shows are extremely popular and lots of people become famous very easily just from being on the TV rather than being able to sing or act well. As a result, people become famous very quickly and as soon as they are famous, a lot of money can be made from writing an autobiography, even if they are very young.
So now you can find an autobiography from almost everyone who is in the public eye. Even though we can follow the lives of the stars very closely on TV or in magazines nowadays, we maybe don’t know how they live their lives from day to day. Autobiographies often give the information we never knew about the stars. The British public are very curious to find out more so they are very eager to read autobiographies.
Not every star wants to write though. Sometimes stars employ writers to write their life stories for them. The writer will interview the star, listen to everything they want to say, record interviews and then write the book based on their words. David Beckham did this with his book My Side.
Not everyone likes to read books regularly but they might like to read about the lives of stars. Autobiographies are helping to get more British people reading books. About 100 million autobiographies are sold in Britain every year. More stars depend on them for extra income and as more of these books appear in the shops, more people are sure to keep buying them.
64.An autobiography is
.
A.always a best-seller in the UK
B.someone’s life story normally written by themselves
C.a magazine with stories and photos of a star
D.a program that tells us the lives of the stars nowadays
65.Traditionally, someone would write his autobiography when .
A.they became famous
B.they wanted to make money
C. they were older and had achieved a lot
D. they wanted to share their childhood with the readers
66.The writer probably would agree that autobiographies are good in that .
A.they tell us a lot about the everyday life of famous people
B.famous people earn a lot of money by selling them
C.they encourage people to read
D.we can learn a lot from them
67. The underlined phrase in the para 3 has the same meaning with ___________
A. other than
B. as well as
C. instead of
D. aside from
D
Doctors say anger can be an extremely harmful emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that angry feeling can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.
Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm, reasonable way. Others burst with anger, losing control of themselves. But still other people control their anger. They cannot or will not express it.
For years many doctors thought that controlling one’s anger was more dangerous to a person’s health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain lets out the same hormones that are produced during tense situations. They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, and narrow the blood vessels. In general, the person feels excited and ready to act.
Doctors said that controlling these feelings only makes the feelings continue. And this can lead to many medical problems. Doctors thought a person could prevent these problems by letting the anger out by expressing it freely. But recently some doctors held a different view. They said that people who express anger too often and violently did become, in fact, more and not less angry. They said this, too, can cause medical problems.
Some doctors say that both controlling and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger strongly may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.
Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”
68. Which of the following is the more recent view about the expression of anger?
A. It is dangerous both to express anger violently and to control one’s anger.
B. One can avoid his medical problems by expressing his anger freely.
C. One’s heart rate will not change if his anger is kept unexpressed.
D. One is likely to suffer from high blood pressure in a fit of great anger.
69. When you get angry, which of the following should you do for the sake of health?
A. Controlling your anger and then studying its cause.
B. Letting out your anger freely and then studying its cause.
C. Studying its cause and waiting till it cools down.
D. Waiting till it has cooled down and then studying its cause.
70. Which of the following can best replace the title of the passage?
A. Different Ways of Dealing with Anger
B. The Danger of Anger and Its Solution
C. New Medical Discoveries about Anger
D. An Argument between the New and Old Views about Anger

Many American presidents in the 19th century were born in poor families. They spent their childhood in little wooden rooms. They got little education.

A large number of American presidents had experiences in the army. The two best known were Ulysses Grant and Dwight D. Eisenhower. Grant was a general in the American Civil War and Eisenhower was hero in the Second World War.

At one time the only danger on the roads was from wild animals. Now the roads are full of cars, trucks and buses. They are as dangerous as the wildest animal. There are also many more of them.
Every day people are killed while crossing the road, most of these people are old people and children. Old people are often killed because they usually cannot see or hear very well. Children are killed because they are careless. They forget to look and listen before they cross the road.
A car, truck or bus cannot stop very quickly. If the car is going very fast it will travel many meters before it stops. A person who travels on foot in a street does not always understand this. They think a car can stop within a few meters. The faster a car is traveling, the longer it takes to stop. It is very difficult for a walking person to know how fast a car is traveling. He may think it is going slowly when it is going very quickly.
The only safe way to cross the road is to look both ways, right and left and right again. Then if the road is clear, it is safe to cross. The correct way to cross the road is to walk quickly. It is not safe to run. If people run across the road, they may fall down.
