　　The Cost of Higher Education

　　Individuals (个人) should pay for their higher education.

　　A university education is of huge and direct benefit to the individual. Graduates earn more than non-graduates. Meanwhile, social mobility is ever more dependent on having a degree. However, only some people have it. So the individual, not the taxpayers, should pay for it. There are pressing calls on the resources (资源) of the government. Using taxpayers' money to help a small number of people to earn high incomes in the future is not one of them.

　　Full government funding (资助) is not very good for universities. Adam Smith worked in a Scottish university whose teachers lived off student fees. He knew and looked down upon 18th-century Oxford, where the academics lived comfortably off the income received from the government. Guaranteed salaries, Smith argued, were the enemy of hard work; and when the academics were lazy and incompetent, the students were similarly lazy.

　　If students have to pay for their education, they not only work harder, but also demand more from their teachers. And their teachers have to keep them satisfied. If that means taking teaching seriously, and giving less time to their own research interests, that is surely something to celebrate.

　　Many people believe that higher education should be free because it is good for the economy (经济). Many graduates clearly do contribute to national wealth, but so do all the businesses that invest (投资) and create jobs. If you believe that the government should pay for higher education because graduates are economically productive, you should also believe that the government should pay part of business costs. Anyone promising to create jobs should receive a gift of capital from the government to invest.

　　Therefore, it is the individual, not the government, who should pay for their university education.

　　1. The underlined word "them" in Paragraph 2 refers to _________.

　　A. taxpayers

　　B. pressing calls

　　C. college graduates

　　D. government resources

　　2. The author thinks that with full government funding _________.

　　A. teachers are less satisfied

　　B. students are more demanding

　　C. students will become more competent

　　D. teachers will spend less time on teaching

　　3. The author mentions businesses in Paragraph 5 in order to _________.

　　A. argue against free university education

　　B. call on them to finance students' studies

　　C. encourage graduates to go into business

　　D. show their contribution to higher education

　　B

　　Wherever she goes, Molly leaves her mark. Without saying a word, she speaks to people with her kind eyes. Even when she walks away, she leaves an impression．Molly's mark is a smile, stamped into the ground by the horseshoe at the bottom of her false leg．

　　A few years ago, Molly was badly attacked by a dog．The dog bit all four of Molly’s legs and left large cuts in her face. Molly's owner, Kate Harris, took her to an animal hospital．Doctors there were able to save Molly’s life, but soon one of her legs became very infected(感染).

　　At first, doctors thought Molly would have to be put to sleep．But Molly changed their minds. This pony, doctors noticed, shifted her weight, and rested her good leg from time to time. Doctors knew that Molly had amazing intelligence, and that she wanted to live.

　　Several doctors operated on Molly, and removed her infected leg. A false leg was made for her. The leg was a hollow cast with a pole at the bottom for balance. Doctors gave Molly a special horseshoe at the bottom of the leg. This horseshoe she had had a stamp of a smile face in it!

　　After the operation, Molly walked around on all four legs, as if nothing had ever happened to her! Now, with every step she takes, she stamps a smile in the dirt．But she leaves her mark in other ways, too.

　　Kaye Harris took Molly to the false leg center. There were children there who, like Molly, had artificial arms or legs. They were amazed to see a pony with a false leg. Molly made them smile and gave them hope. Soon, Molly began to visit schools, nursing homes, army bases and hospitals. A book was even written about Molly!

　　“Love your neighbor as yourself” is a saying familiar to most of us．It means that you must have the ability to love and accept yourself in order to form and keep satisfying relationship with others. Self-esteem means accepting yourself for who you really are, and believing that you are indeed a worthwhile person who is deserving of love and respect from others．

　　Self-esteem is our sense of how good we feel about ourselves．It is based on our judgment of ourselves, not on other people's assessment, but simply on our own．Our self-esteem is not dependent on our talent．Some very ordinary people feel very good about themselves, while other extraordinarily high achievers hold low opinions of themselves．

　　Self-esteem is the primary key to long-term stress management．Why? The first three sources of stress are: predictable life events, unexpected changes and build-up of daily stresses. These are much easier to handle when we believe in ourselves. A positive, healthy self-esteem gives us the “hardiness”（强健）to deal with the difficulties of life, and to see them as challenges to be met, rather than threats to be feared．

　　The fourth category of stress is entirely the result of a low self-esteem．It is the category of stress that is most common and tiring in the long run．This kind of stress cannot be overcome, or even changed, until the self-esteem problems that cause it are corrected．

　　Learning to love yourself for who you are is the key to overcoming stress．Self-esteem comes from the self, and cannot be promoted by others．A person who feels that his self-esteem comes from the approval of those around him or her is bound to self-destruct（自毁）. One cannot keep the level of “performance” required to please everyone else, especially if that performance disagrees with who you are and is simply a facade that makes you popular with the world．When the applause is gone, there is nothing left．

　　Only those who can feel the strength of knowing who they are and those who can feel good about themselves will survive the stresses of life．Self-esteem is the basis of contentment and positive living．

　　．What is self-esteem?

　　A．A kind of positive lifestyle．

　　B．The impression we have on other people．

　　C．Our sense of how good we feel about ourselves．

　　D．Our understanding of how we are seen by others．

　　．What is the key to overcoming stress according to the passage?

　　A．Removing yourself from stressful situation．

　　B．Learning to love yourself for who you are．

　　C．Facing the stress and dealing with it．

　　D．Getting help from friends．

　　．What does the underlined word "facade" （in Para 5） mean?

　　A．A strange feeling．

　　B．A big worry．

　　C．A wrong action．

　　D．A false appearance．

　　．The passage is written to ______．

　　A．show the importance of feeling good about yourself

　　B．help people form good relationship with others

　　C．tell people how to overcome stress

　　D．provide the different methods to get a clear view of yourselfWe all know that global warming is caused by greenhouse gases, largely carbon dioxide, which is given out by everything ranging from home appliances(电器) and cars to the heating and lighting systems of office buildings. But since we don’t see the gas, most of us simply shake our heads and then continue with our bad habits. Now, researchers at Arizona State University are trying to change that.

　　Directed by associate professor Kevin Gurney, the Hestia Project’s main goal is to make something that is currently intangible (无形的) into something a little more tangible, by allowing all of us to visually see how much each and every one of us is “contributing” to global warming.

　　In order to obtain a complete picture of the city’s environment, the team begins by collecting data from all different sources. Then, using special software they divide the emissions (排放) into three categories — commercial entities (实体) (office buildings and industrial plants), households and vehicles. This is the stage where things start to get really interesting. That’s because instead of showing all this information using graphs that we all instantly lose interest in, they create a visual “film” that shows not only the carbon emitted by each entity, but also the exact location it is coming from and the amount, which varies depending on the time of day or season. For example, the car emissions during rush hour are the highest, as is the case for commercial buildings during the day, especially during winter months when the heating is on.

　　Kevin knows that some of the data shown may start a blame game among the residents (居民) of the city. However, he is hoping that the people will go beyond that and instead use it to make changes in their daily lives.

　　12. According to the text, most people ignore the problem of greenhouse gases mainly because _____.

　　A. the problem is not very serious

　　B. bad living habits are hard to change

　　C. greenhouse gases can’t be seen

　　D. they think they have done nothing wrong

　　13. With the efforts of Kevin’s team, people can _____.

　　A. see a film about the effects of greenhouse gases

　　B. study methods of cutting greenhouse gases

　　C. know a certain place’s emission at different times

　　D. get information on emissions with various graphs

　　14. By saying “some of the data shown may start a blame game among the residents of the city”, the author means that _____.

　　A. Kevin’s team may get criticized

　　B. the Hestia Project may be treated as a game

　　C. residents may feel guilty of their bad behavior

　　D. people may accuse each other of carbon emissions

　　15. What’s the purpose of the text?

　　A. To introduce a research project.

　　B. To give advice on cutting emissions.

　　C. To show the harm of carbon emissions.

　　D. To call on people to protect the environment.

　　How do you enter a room full of strangers? Do you walk right in full of confidence? Or do you try to slip in without being noticed?

　　In life, we admire those who do their tasks confidently． We prefer people who appear to know what they’re doing． But where does that confidence begin?

　　Developing self-confidence starts very early． It’s the parents’ role to get kids on the right track toward becoming confident people．

　　When children make mistakes, their parents should still let them know that they are loved． Children whose parents do these things will likely develop into confident adults． But self-confidence still doesn’t come easily．

　　So what’s the solution?

　　◆ With most things in life, practice makes perfect, and that is true of confidence skills．

　　◆ Always hold your head high and look people in the eye． Answer questions clearly and confidently． The way you walk shows others how confident you are．

　　◆ Focus on the things that you do well, and look for opportunities to use those abilities．

　　◆

　　You’ll approach the task more confidently knowing that you’re ready．

　　◆ All humans fail at times , and you will too．

　　． Learning from mistakes helps you face the same situation later without fear．

　　A． Prepare thoroughly for every project．

　　B． But don’t allow mistakes to trouble you．

　　C． Even with practice, you will never be perfect．

　　D． Parents are often good teachers for their own children．

　　E． The more you practice them, the easier they will become．

　　F． The way you go into new situations shows our level of self-confidence．

　　G． To help that process, parents should always offer more praise than criticism．
