    Some days you wake up and right when you are going to begin your work, you feel a presence within you that stops you from doing so. You don’t want to work today and you don’t feel motivated to do anything but just escape. Without this motivation, you feel a little hopeless, lost, and stuck. But sometimes even if there is no motivation, you can still feel inspired.
    Connect the Dots
    Steve Jobs has never finished college. After studying in college for 6 months, he couldn’t see the value in it and dropped out. Not knowing where to go in life, he decided to take a class in calligraphy (书法). Ten years later, he designed something that has affected the different types of typography (排版) that we use today. If he hadn’t dropped out in college, he would never have taken that calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography.
    Sometimes when you’re trying to reach a goal, it’s impossible to connect the dots where you currently are. Somehow you just have to trust yourself, and have faith that you will reach your dreams, despite not having the slightest clue or perfectly laid-out road to where you are going. Nobody can connect the dots looking forward; you only can connect them when you’re looking backwards. You have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in the future; you have to trust in something, whether it’s destiny (天数，命运) or not, but trusting yourself is the first step towards feeling inspired and having the motivation to move forward.
    Perfect Your Environment
    Look around your room right now or your workspace. Does it inspire you? Does it give you motivation? Is it noisy or quiet? Sometimes the hardest thing we do to ourselves is try to force ourselves to work in an area that is subconsciously telling us, “I can’t work here.”
    And when you are constantly trying to discipline yourself, you will feel worse and be less productive. Instead try to build your ideal workplace and ideal time. Perhaps add a piece of artwork or a quote of your favorite person nearby you on the wall. Maybe add a beautiful plant in the corner to give you inspiration. If you feel more energy and enthusiasm during the night, schedule your day to work at midnight if you can. If you can realize the power of having a productive environment, you will naturally feel inspired and motivated to get work done.
    Don’t Work So Hard
    If you’re trying to force your way into taking action, it could be a sign that you are working too hard. Most people won’t wake up and waste an hour imagining, thinking further, or confirming, and the first thing they think about is asking “what do I need to do today?” And when they get the answer, they feel miserable, as if their work suddenly weighs them down. But if you spend time focusing on your goals, you’ll receive good feelings—feelings that help you feel inspired and motivated to take real action.
    Don’t try to paddle upstream. That just basically equals saying to yourself that you need to force yourself to work hard every day. Instead, paddle along the stream of the river. Trust yourself, let your environment work in your favor, and spend some a little bit of time putting yourself in a state before you work. Inspiration will come to you from different ways—inside and outside—and give you the motivation to guide yourself towards reaching your dreams.

    Losing a baby tooth can be fun for a kid. You can put it under your pillow and look forward to finding some money there in the morning. And then you can watch your new permanent(永恒的) tooth grow in its place.
    But if a permanent tooth falls out, that’s a problem. There isn’t another one under the gum(齿龈)that can replace it. Unfortunately, this happens to some older people. And if permanent teeth fall out or need to be pulled, an older person might need dentures.
    Dentures, known as false teeth, are a set of replacement teeth for any teeth that are missing. There are partial dentures, which take the place of only a few teeth and prevent the others from changing position. If all the teeth are gone, the person would need complete dentures, which replace every tooth in the mouth.
    Dentures can cause pains at first and take little time to get adjusted to. They also need special care. They should be brushed daily with a special denture brush and cleanser and soaked（浸泡） in denture solution when not in the mouth.
    Dentures are important for the old because, without teeth, it’s hard to smile, talk, and eat properly. But it can be a little weird if you see someone take out his or her dentures. It can also be strange to see someone, like a grandparent, without dentures in because he or she won’t have any teeth. Try not to make fun of the person because this could cause hurt feelings.
    People usually lose their permanent teeth due to periodontal disease（牙周炎）, or gum disease, which is caused by bacteria that attacks the gums. Diseased gums aren’t strong and healthy, so teeth can get loose and fall out. Older people often have many cavities(洞)that have been filled over the years, and these fillings can weaken over time, leading to more tooth problems.
    小题1:If one of your baby teeth falls out, you     .
    A．should have a false tooth fixed in its placeB．have to put it under your pillow at once
    C．will gain a permanent tooth in futureD．can exchange it for some money
    小题2:A person wearing dentures     .
    A．should brush them with a special denture brush every few days
    B．will take a very long time to adjust himself or herself to them
    C．will experience unpleasant feelings at the beginning of fixing them
    D．should use denture solution to soak them in his or her mouth
    小题3:Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
    A．Partial dentures can prevent the remaining teeth from changing position.
    B．Old people will find it hard to smile, talk, and eat properly without teeth.
    C．A person’s teeth will possibly get loose if diseases strike his gums.
    D．It is hard for a person to wear dentures if all his teeth have fallen out.
    小题4:What does the underlined word “weird” mean in the fifth paragraph?
    A．inconvenientB．excitedC．uncomfortableD．impolite

    “We started as a group of friends with the same problem: difficulty in our personal life to manage our time, being always in a hurry.” This thought was recently offered by Bruno to explain the origin of The Art of Living Slowly, an organization that he founded two years ago, with his wife, Ella.

    Bruno and Ella said they decided to draw more people’s attention to the overlooked idea that “time is wealth.” On February 19th last year, they created a new holiday, the first Global Day of Slow Living. Despite its ambitious name, the event was limited almost entirely to Italy, where the couple arranged a number of events: a reverse bicycle race in which the last rider was declared the winner; an afternoon of grandfathers reading poetry to children etc.
    One Monday in late February, 2008, the couple staged a New York version (版本) of the Day of Slow Living. “It has to be a Monday, the worst day to try to slow down.” Bruno explained. Bruno was wearing a police cap, mirrored sunglasses, and a sandwich board stating, “Watch out! Speed-walking camera is in action!” He flagged down passers-by and handed them postcards printed with fourteen “slowmandments.” For example, No. 4: Write your text message on your cell phone with no symbols and get in the habit of starting with “Dear …” No 7: Avoid being so busy that you don’t have time for yourself. Bruno told the passers-by to read them once a day and keep the doctor away.
    Many said, “I can’t do this. New York is too fast.” Bruno admitted. But many stopped, they read and said. “This one is good for me, because trying to slow down is like trying to stop smoking.”
    When asked about their plans for the future. Bruno and Ella looked at each other and chanted the name of the city they have chosen for next year’s Global Day of Slow Living, “Tokyo!”
    68. The Art of Living Slowly was founded to help people         .
    A．understand the truth of life.    B．know the difficulty in managing time
    C．avoid being in a hurry all the time  D．make friends with the same problem
    69. What did Bruno do in New York?
    A．He advertised his idea on a sandwich board.
    B．He stopped passers-by and delivered postcards.
    C．He served as a policeman to prevent accidents.
    D．He took photos for the people who walked fast.
    70. Which statement may be included in the fourteen “slowmandments” in paragraph 3?
    A．Wake up five minutes earlier.  B．Do two things at the same time.
    C．Make a habit of writing letters.      D．Don’t work on weekends and relax.
    71. What can be inferred from the passage?
    A．The new holiday is usually celebrated on a fixed day.
    B．Italian grandfathers enjoy reading poetry to children.
    C．The couple tend to choose busy cities to promote the idea.
    D．New Yorkers have a negative attitude towards slow living.

    It has always been said that women are not good drivers, because they simply don't have very good driving ability. On the other hand, most car accidents happen to men; very few happen to women.
    From this, we can see that women are much more careful while driving. Another very interesting fact that we should point out is that in the past, women preferred to let their husbands be the only driver in the family rather than have a driving license. Somehow they were prevented from making this step in their lives, but nowadays there are many women that want to pass their driving tests from an early age.
    However, we have to admit that men are more skillful drivers than women, but this does not mean that a woman cannot become a good driver by accumulating (积累) experience. So more and more teenagers and women around the age of thirty now want to pass their driving tests. While taking their driving lessons, they also have a number of special lessons with their parents or somebody in the family that has a driving license, this is just to improve their driving abilities and help them to pass the tests more easily.
    To conclude, we can say that women are not such bad drivers. They just need more experience than men in order to be able to drive well. And on the other hand, there are a number of women that show better driving skills than the men around them.
    67. Compared with the past, nowadays many women___.
    A. prefer to have a driving license
    B. have more accidents while driving
    C. are somehow prevented from driving
    D. are the only driver in the family
    68.  What advantage do women have over men in driving?
    A. They have more skills.
    B. They are much more careful
    C. They know more traffic rules
    D. They have more driving experience
    69.  What can we infer from the passage?
    A. Teenage girls cannot take driving tests.
    B. Men didn't allow women to drive in the past.
    C. With enough experience, women can become good drivers.
    D. Women can easily pass their tests by taking driving lessons.
    70.  The passage mainly talks about___.
    A. women and their driving ability.
    B. men and their driving ability.
    C. why men are better drivers than women.
    D. why more women like to have a driving license

    第一节（共15题, 每小题2分，满分30分）
    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A,B,C和D）中，选出最佳选项。                              
    A
    What secret force drives us into the arms of one person, while pushing us away from another who might appear equally desirable to any fair observer? Of the many factors influencing our idea of the perfect mate, one of the most telling is our “lovemap” ---- a group of messages formed in our brains that describes our likes and dislikes．It shows our preferences in hair and eye color, in voice, smell, body build．It also records the kind of personality that attracts us, whether it’s the warm and friendly type or the strong silent type．In short, we fall for and go after those people who most clearly fit our lovemap．And this lovemap is determined in childhood．By age eight, the pattern for our ideal mate has already begun to float around in our brains．
    The mother has special influence on her sons: she not only gives them clues to what they will find attractive in a mate, but also influences how they feel about women in general．So if she is warm and nice, her sons are going to think that’s the way women are．They will likely grow up warm and responsive lovers and also be helpful around the house．
    Just as mothers influence their son’s general feelings toward women, fathers influence their daughter’s general feelings about men．If a father lavishes praise on his daughter and shows that she is a worthwhile person, she’ll feel very good about herself in relation to men．But if the father is cold, critical or absent, the daughter will tend to feel she’s not very lovable or attractive．
    While the mother determines in large part what qualities attract us in a mate, it’s the father ----- the first male in our lives ----- who influences how we relate to the opposite sex．Fathers have a great effect on their children’s personalities and chances or marriage happiness．
    56．What is the proper title for this passage?
    A．Why we love who we love           B．What is a lovemap
    C．Different influence from parents        D．Ideal mate in the mind
    57．A perfect mate is a person who ____．
    A．is fair to everyone               B．is the most desirable
    C．fits one’s lovemap               D．is perfect in everything
    58．If the husband hardly does any housework, ____．
    A．his mother must be warm             B．his father must be critical
    C．his mother must be cold               D．his wife can’t be attractive
    59．The passage leads to a belief that ____．
    A．parents’ personalities decides the children’s lovemap
    B．mothers have no influence on daughters’ marriage life
    C．fathers care more about children’s marriage happiness
    D．mothers influence children’s choices of perfect mates

    First the ground shook in Haiti, then Chile and Turkey. The earthquakes keep coming hard and fast this year, causing people to wonder if something evil (邪恶的) is happening underfoot.
    It’s not.
    While it may seem as if there are more earthquakes occurring, there really aren’t. the problem is what’s happening above ground, not underground, experts say.
    More people are moving into big cities that happen to be built in quake zones, and they’re rapidly putting up buildings that can’t withstand (经受) earthquakes, scientists believe.
    And around-the-clock news coverage (报道) and better earthquake monitoring make it seem as if earthquakes are ever-present.
    “I can definitely tell you that the world is not coming to an end,” said Bob Holdsworth, an expert in tectonics (筑造学) at Durharn University in the UK.
    A 7.0 magnitude quake in January killed more than 230,000 people in Haiti. Last month, an 8.8 magnitude quake--- the fifth-strongest since 1900—killed more than 900 people in Chile. And two weeks ago, a 6.0 magnitude quake struck rural eastern Turkey, killing at least 57 people.
    On average, there are 134 earthquakes a year that have a magnitude between 6.0 and 6.9, according to the US Geological Survey. This year is off to a fast start with 40 so far—more than in most years for that time period.
    But that’s because the 8.8 quake in Chile generated a large number of strong aftershocks, and so many quakes this early in the year skews (扭曲) the picture, said Paul Earle, a US seismologist (地震学家).
    Also, it’s not the number of quakes, but their devastating (破坏性的) impacts that gain attention, with the death tolls (死亡人数) largely due to construction standards and crowding, Earle added. “The standard mantra (咒语) is earthquakes don’t kill people, buildings do, ” he said.
    There have been more deaths over the past decades from earthquakes, said University of Colorado geologist Roger Bilham. In an opinion column last month in the journal Nature, Bilham called for better construction standards in the world’s big cities.
    Of the 130 cities worldwide with populations of more than 1 million, more than half are prone (倾向于) to earthquakes, Bilham said.
    Developing nations, where populations are booming, don’t pay attention to earthquake preparedness, Bilham said.” If you have a problem feeding yourself, you’re not really going to worry about earthquakes.”
    Another reason quakes seem worse is that we’re paying attention more. The Haiti earthquake quickly followed by the 8.8 in Chile made everyone start to think.
    But it won’t last, said US disaster researcher Deniis Mileti. “People are paying attention to the violent planet we’ve always lived on,” Mileti said.” Come back in another six months if there has been no earthquakes, most people will have forgotten it again. ”
    73. What is the main idea of the article?
    A. The number of earthquakes is increasing this year.     
    B. The reasons why earthquakes are so devastating.
    C. The reasons why recent earthquakes have struck large cities.
    D. Why earthquakes seem to be more serious this year.
    74. Which of the following is NOT a reason for the seeming increase in earthquakes this year，
    according to the article?
    A. Greater underground activity.      
    B. A larger number of buildings prone to damage during earthquakes.
    C. Around-the-clock news coverage.   
    D. Better earthquake monitoring.
    75. According to the article, it is safe to say that ______.
    A. there is an evil force beneath the world’s surface
    B. large cities are always built in quake zones
    C. enough attention has been paid to reducing the impact of earthquakes
    D. the earthquake in Chili caused many aftershocks.
    76. According to the article, the greater damage of earthquakes this year can be mainly caused by ______.
    A. the occurrence of larger earthquakes
    B. insufficient warnings about earthquakes
    C. poor construction standards and overcrowding
    D. an increase in large cities

    Men are happier with money, while women find greater joy in friendships and relationships with their children, co – workers and bosses, a new global survey indicates.
