    Sports are full of wonderful moments, but perhaps  36   is as exciting as the finish of the marathon. It is the longest, hardest  37   of all. The name “marathon” comes from a village in  38  . A famous battle was 39  there in the year 490 BC.

When the modern Olympic Games  44   in 1896, the organizers knew this  45  . The marathon has been a race  46  that time.
    In the ancient world the Olympic Games were held  47   four years of 1000 years. They were an important part of life. In the  48   Games we try to copy their  49   . The finest sportsmen in the world are collected in one place   50   at least the finest “amateurs（业余爱好者 ） ” are. An amateur is someone who does not earn 51  money from sport. It is often difficult to say who is an amateur and who is not. It is  52  that Olympic athletes do not earn large amounts of  money like professional （职业的）sportsmen. But Olympic athletes are often students or teachers of a  53  . They have to  54   a lot of time training. Their governments pay for their training travel and pocket money, 55  they want them to win. Some people think this changes the Olympics. They feel that the Games are now a political marathon.

    An increase in students applying to study economics at university is being attributed to the global economic crisis awakening a public thirst for knowledge about how the financial system works.
    Applications for degree courses beginning this autumn were up by 15% this January, according to UCAS, the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service. A spokesman for the Royal Economic Society said applications to do economics at A-level were also up.
    Professor John Beath, the president of the society, and a leading lecturer at St Andrews University, said his first-year lectures—which are open to students from all departments—were drawing crowds of 400, rather than the usual 250.
    “There are a large number of students who are not economics majors, who would like to learn something about it. One of the things I have done this year is to relate my teaching to contemporary events in a way that one hasn’t traditionally done.” He added.
    University applications rose 7% last year. But there were rises above average in several subjects. Nursing saw a 15% jump, with people’s renewed interest in careers in the public sector, which are seen as more secure in economic crisis.
    A recent study showed almost two thirds of parents believed schools should do more to teach pupils about financial matters, and almost half said their children had asked them what was going on, although a minority of parents felt they did not understand it themselves well enough to explain.
    Zack Hocking, the head of Child Trust Funds, said: “It’s possible that one good thing to arise from the downturn will be a generation that’s financially wiser and better equipped to manage their money through times of economic uncertainty.”
    小题1:Professor John Beath’s lectures are              .
    A．given in a traditional way
    B．open to both students and their parents
    C．connected with the present situation
    D．warmly received by economics
    小题2:Incomes in the public sector are more attractive because of their              .
    A．greater stabilityB．higher pay
    C．fewer applicationsD．better reputation
    小题3:In the opinion of most parents              .
    A．economics should be the focus of school teaching
    B．more students should be admitted to universities
    C．children should solve financial problems themselves
    D．the teaching of financial matters should be strengthened
    小题4:According to Hocking, the global economic crisis might make the youngsters          .
    A．have access to better equipmentB．wiser in money management
    C．confident about their future careers D．get jobs in Child Trust Funds
    小题5:What’s the main idea of the text?
    A．Universities have received more applications.
    B．College students benefit a lot from economic uncertainty.
    C．Economics is attracting an increasing numbers students.
    D．Parents are concerned with children’s subject selection.

    If practicing an attitude of gratitude(感激) during the storms of life is too much for you right now, that’s OK. When things are tough, most people have a hard time being thankful. They’re so caught up in what’s wrong in the present moment that they simply can’t see some things are still right.
    If that’s true for you, then accept it. You’re going through a particularly difficult or unhappy period of time, and you don’t like it one bit. Very normal, very human. But remember this: there is always something to be grateful for. It maybe only a small comfort right now, but it is a start. Make a list of some of the terrible things that didn’t happen. For example:
    ●You’re in debt...but you’re not homeless.
    ●You lost your job...but you didn’t lose your health.
    ●You broke your leg...but you didn’t break your neck.
    ●Your mother has Alzheimer’s disease...but your father doesn’t.
    No matter how bad things are, they could always be worse. Start finding gratitude for what might have happened, but didn’t. It does help a lot. Of course, you may not be thankful for everything— but you can always be thankful for something.
    小题1:The passage is intended for those who ________.
    A．have done a lot for othersB．have met with difficulties in life
    C．have something to do in returnD．don’t know how to be thankful
    小题2:The writer thinks it ______ for people to feel unhappy in time of difficulty.
    A．understandable B．necessary C．impossible D．helpful
    小题3:How many “terrible things that didn’t happen” are listed in this passage?
    A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five.
    小题4:What is the purpose of this passage?
    A．To discuss ways to make a list of terrible things.
    B．To explain what is gratitude towards the storms of life.
    C．To persuade people to be thankful for what didn’t happen.
    D．To show people different ways to consider their tough situations.
    小题5:How is the passage organized?
    A．Explanation—Comparison—Topic
    B．Argument—Opinion—Discussion
    C．Comparison—Argument—Explanation
    D．Introduction—Discussion—Conclusion

    Fun is, in fact, a word heard far more frequently in families today than in the past, when "duty'' and "responsibility" were often the words used.
    Parents today are more youthful in appearance and attitudes. Their clothes and hair-styles are more casual, helping to bridge the divide. Those who are athletically inclined also enjoy Rollerblading, snowboarding, and rock-climbing with their children.
    For the past three years, Kathy and Phil Dalby have spent at least one evening a week at a climbing gym with their three children. "It's great to be able to work together," Mrs Dalby says. "We discuss various climbs and where the hard parts are. Sometimes that leads to other Conversations. We're definitely closer."
    A popular movement of parent effectiveness training in the 1970s has helped to reshape generational roles. The philosophy encourages children to describe their feelings about various situations. As a result, says Robert Billingham, a family-studies professor at Indiana University, "Parents and children began talking to each other in ways they had not before."
    On the plus side, he adds, these conversations made parents realize that children may have important thoughts or feelings that adults need to be aware of.
    But Professor Billingham also sees a downside: Many parents started making decisions based on what their child wanted. "The power shifted to children. Parents said, 'I have to focus on making my child happy', as opposed to 'I have to act as a parent most appropriately'."
    Other changes are occurring as the ranks of working mothers grow.  Time-short parents encourage children's independence, making them more responsible for themselves. "They'll say, 'We trust you to make the right decisions' (whether they're ready to assume the responsibility or not) ,"says Billingham.
    The self-esteem movement of the past quarter-century has also affected the family dynamics (原动力). Some parents worry that if they tell their child no, it will hurt the child's self-esteem.
    小题1:What's the trend in parent-child relationship mentioned in the passage?
    A．Parents are chasing after fashion and ignoring the feelings of their children.
    B．More parents and children are sharing the same enthusiasm for a certain sport.
    C．Parents are taking more responsibility and setting more limits for their children.
    D．The generation gap is narrowing and parents are respecting their children's thoughts more.
    小题2:Which of the following has NOT contributed to the change in the parent-child relationship?
    A．Younger parents.B．Parent effectiveness training.
    C．More working mothers.D．The self-esteem movement.
    小题3:What's Billingham's attitude towards parents who make children more responsible for themselves?
    A．He supports them.B．He admires them.
    C．He disagrees with them.D．He thinks they're unreasonable.
    小题4:What will probably be discussed following the last paragraph?
    A．The effect of more working mothers on children' s education.
    B．The benefits of the new relationship between parents and children.
    C．The importance of self-esteem and ways to develop children's self-esteem.
    D．The risks of setting no rules and some suggestions on how to have a balanced attitude.
    小题5:What's the best title for the text?
    A．Parents and Children as Friends.B．Parents and Professors as Debaters.
    C．Growing Mutual Understanding.D．Disappearing Responsibility.

    However urban life strikes you, cities worldwide have been growing ever more rapidly. Some of this growth has happened in the developed world, but the most dramatic increase has been in the Third World. Almost all the world’s population growth over the next 30 years will take place in the cities of developing countries.
    By the year 2030, for the first time in history, 60 percent of the world’s people will be living in cities.
    This is actually good news in some ways. “Cities are the fundamental building blocks of prosperity(繁荣),” says Marc Weiss, chairman of the Prague Institute for Global Urban Development, “both for the nation and for families.” Industrial and commercial activities in urban areas account for between 50 and 80 percent of the GDP(国内生产总值) in most countries of the world. “There’s the crazy idea that the way to deal with a city’s problems is to keep people out of them.” Weiss continued. “But the problems of the rural life are even more serious than those of the city.” For better or worse, urban-watchers are clear on one point: The quality of life for most people in the future will be determined by the quality of cities. Those cities will be bigger than ever. And yet, population numbers by themselves don’t determine a city’s prospects; after all, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and Hamburg, Germany, have the same population. Nor is explosive growth necessarily the determining factor. “City problems,” one authority points out, “mostly have to do with weak, ineffective, and usually unrepresentative city governments.”
    小题1:According to the passage, in the year of 2030 _______.
    A．there will be many cities having a population of more than 10 million.
    B．rural area will be extinct (灭绝).
    C．most people will live in cities.
    D．the third world will keep up with the developed world.
    小题2:In the author’s opinion, _________.
    A．better city, better life
    B．both urban and rural areas will have a large population
    C．the larger the population is, the faster a city develops
    D．both urban and rural areas have larger GDP
    小题3:The last paragraph implies that ____________.
    A．Public services are ineffective.
    B．Cities are increasing too fast.
    C．Population is not linked with development.
    D．Government should be responsible for the problems in the cities.

    During the week days,they are luckily busy office people; but on weekends,they are just a brood of(一窝)stay home animals.A recent survey shows that office workers in China prefer quiet and easy ways to spend their weekends.
    In the survey,conducted by job seeking and offering website Zhaopin.com,32.8 percent of the 6000 respondents choose to stay home at weekends and have a good rest,the Beijing Morning Post reported.
    Twenty percent use their days off to do housework. And only 19.3 percent are willing to have fun during the break time from work.Their first choice of fun is shopping. Other choices,though practiced by few,include meeting friends,accompanying the children,trips to the suburbs,and lessons for more skills. When they go shopping,54.5 percent of the white collars actually shop in supermarkets,while 27.9 percent attend other stores,especially when discounts are offered.    These activities don’t seem to cost much,as 60 percent spend average less than 200 yuan(US$26)during weekends,and 30 percent no more than 500 yuan.
    When asked whom they would spend the weekends with,about 40 percent mention their partners,and 30 percent prefer a weekend all by themselves.Less than 20 percent hang out with friends. Only 5.8 percent would kill the time with their colleagues.This is because we tend to avoid too many personal contacts with our coworkers when we don’t have to work with them,according to some experts.
    小题1:How many of the office workers who are the respondents do the housework at weekends?
    A．1968. B．1158. C．1200. D．1674.
    小题2:Why will less than ten percent of office workers kill the time with their colleagues at weekends?
    A．Because they can’t spare time to play with them.
    B．Because they tend to avoid too many personal contacts with them when they don’t have to.
    C．Because they have many things to deal with at weekends.
    D．Because some experts suggest they should not keep in touch with their colleagues.
    小题3:Which of the following is TRUE according to the survey?
    A．There is the same percentage about people preferring a weekend all by themselves and people spending no more than 500 yuan during weekends.
    B．Most office workers can’t afford things in supermarkets,so they prefer to attend other stores,especially when discounts are offered.
    C．More than one fifth of office workers like to hang out with friends.
    D．All the office workers prefer to relax themselves and no one is willing to learn more skills.

    Tired of all the pushing in supermarkets? Fed up with waiting in endless lines to pay for what you have bought? Angry at wasting time in traffic jams only to find no parking spaces when you eventually arrive at the store? If this is you, then online shopping is the answer to your dreams of trouble-free shopping.
    Online shopping brings its own challenges. Here are a few things to bear in mind when browsing (浏览) various websites. The claim (声称) made by online sites is that shopping online is a safe and secure way to make purchases. The evidence challenges this. In any case, you only have to be the victim(受害者) of fraud (欺骗) once to experience all the problems that come with this form of stealing. Use only sites that have a trusted history and an excellent reputation(名声).
    Another problem is that the appearance of items in reality is often quite different from what you see on your computer screen. This might not be a problem if you are buying washing up powder but could be a major disappointment when that beautiful blue dress you ordered turns up in green. Also, product descriptions are sometimes simply untrue! Perhaps the wisest plan is to purchase items whose design and color are not essential to customer satisfaction.
    Some even argue that online shopping indirectly contributes to global warming. Yes, your car can stay parked but how are online goods delivered? Often by some large van pouring out carbon monoxide and adding to our already desperate traffic problems. You are also by now becoming increasingly irritated(使烦恼) by the fact that the delivery is late !
    Without question, online shopping is here to stay and it has its benefits. However, perhaps it is not as wonderful as some of its supporters claim it to be.
    小题1:How can online shoppers avoid fraud?
    A．By choosing big websites.
    B．By collecting shopping evidence.
    C．By seeking advice from the police.
    D．By using only trusted websites.
    小题2:What does the author tell us about online shopping in Paragraph 3?
    A．Don’t believe product descriptions easily.
    B．Product appearances are always not good.
    C．It is usually wise to buy colorful products.
    D．It is normal for a blue dress to change into green.
    小题3:The author agrees with the fact that        .
    A．online shopping is a safe way to make purchases
    B．customers are never satisfied with products
    C．online shopping has nothing to do with global warming
    D．delivery delay often makes online shoppers unhappy
    小题4:What is the author’s attitude towards online shopping?
    A．It is very popular.
    B．It is a wise choice.
    C．It is a double-edged sword(双刃剑).
    D．It is a waste of time.

    I once had a friend that was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and the news that he might only live up to six months was a great shock to him, his family, and his friends．However, in spite of the serious illness, he was initially（开始） determined to look into all available treatments that might cure or extend his life．I think that when you find yourself in such situations, you tend to look up every possible way for hope of saving your life．
    As months went on and his health grew worse, I noticed an unexpected change in attitude that came over him．He had also been a happy person with a cheerful personality, but rather than give in to discouragement and self-pity, he took comfort in God and humanity（人性）．His talks focused on others rather than himself, and he spoke of the afterlife as something he was prepared for, believing that his concerned ancestors, including his mother and father, were there waiting for him．
    During the last few months, weeks, and days of his life, he was kindly cared for by family, friends, his loving wife, who looked after both his physical and emotional needs, and workers from a local hospice （安养院） came to the home to regulate（调节） his medication （药）and provide any other needed support．He didn't complain about his fate, and he willingly allowed others to serve him．
    Indeed, one might think why God allows death and suffering in our world, but for me, such experiences taught me to value family more and kindness for others．You often can't learn these important attributes（属性）in the lap of luxury（处在优裕舒适的环境中）, and perhaps, such an experience is the greatest and final gift the illness can give those left behind．
    小题1:Which word can best describe the man's initial reaction as soon as he was diagnosed with cancer?
    A．Satisfied．B．SadC．SurprisedD．Concerned．
    小题2:What did the man do after he first learned of his illness?
    A．He was operated on immediately．
    B．He researched cancer treatments．
    C．He retired from his job
    D．He felt sad, doing nothing．
    小题3:What was the man's main source of comfort after several months with the disease? 
    A．His family and friends．B．The care from others
    C．His doctors’ encouragement．D．His belief in humanity．
    小题4:What did the author learn from his friend’s story?
    A．Getting comfort from God．
    B．Extending life as possible．
    C．Caring for yourself and enjoying luxury．
    D．Giving more respect to friends
