    If there’s one memory Anna wanted to keep from her experiences during the Second World War, it was her son, Andrzej. Anna, 89, lost touch with him when she was forced to leave her native Poland and sent to a labor camp in Austria more than 60 years ago. Now, 64, Andrzej hugged his mother at the air port, who had been waiting for him.

    　　　 Andrzej searched for his mother for more than 50 years, almost giving up. But his mother made the first phone call. Unluckily, he wrote down his mother’s phone number wrong and spent another month trying to reach her again. When he did, the two talked regularly on the phone for two months to break down the language barrier. Anna can hardly speak Polish over the years and Andrzej doesn’t speak English.

    　　　 After the war, Anna could not find her son and went to Italy, finally ending up in Great Britain, the US, then Canada 45 years ago. She used the Internet to track her son, making phone calls with no luck. Meanwhile Andrzej contacted the Polish Red Cross last year to help in his search.

    　　　 At last, they locate each other at the same time. Andrzej will spend a month with his mother in Britain.

    72. Andrzej was about _______ years old when his mother left him for Austria 60 years ago.

    A. eight

    I remember the exact moment I learned the principle of preparing for luck.

    We used to have this big   45  in our wrestling room that the coach had put there: “Luck is what happens when opportunity meets   46 .”

    Mike Maietta was eating lunch when he got a text message from his mom.
    “Notre Dame,” it said. “Big envelope!”
    Mike, a senior at a Californian high school, shouted with joy. The big envelope meant that the excellent university in Indiana had offered him a place in its Class of 2013. But the $51,300 annual fee is a big obstacle. So Mike and his parents are considering offers from several other colleges and are calculating the costs of tuition, housing and holiday trips home.
    This year, money is the driving factor for a growing number of high school seniors, who have to decide what colleges to attend this fall. Less jobs and plunging house prices have changed family spending.
    “We’re excited that Mike got into eight great schools,” said Mike’s father, an engineer at Microsoft. “But if you consider going to school out of state, you’ve got to think about all of the other costs: moving, flying back and forth for the holidays. You’re looking at about $3,000 a year, just for travel.”
    As families weigh their choices, some are going back to financial aid offices hoping help packages can be increased.
    Rachel Brown was happy to get a thick envelope from New York University (NYU). Although she has always wanted to live in Manhattan, she is seriously considering the University of California San Diego (UCSD), because of the high cost in New York.
    “The tuition for NYU is twice as much as UCSD,” said Rachel, 17. “My mom doesn’t want me to have a big debt when I graduate, and I don’t want that either. I’d have to take out a loan of $15,000. I’ll check and see if there’s any way that NYU can offer me any financial aid.”
    More than 7.6 million American students have filled out the Free Application for Students Aid, a 19.9 percent increase over last year.
    This month the Federal Department of Education urged college financial aid officers to give more help to certain families. A record 30,428 students applied for 2,300 places at Stanford, partly because the university increased financial aid for families earning below $10,000.
    68. Mike may give up Notre Dame because of ______.
    A. travel fees                                                           B. financial concerns
    C. poor exam results                                             D. worries about living far away from home
    69. The phrase “Big envelope” in paragraph 2 probably refers to “______”.
    A. A text message                                                  B. A large gift package
    C. An admission letter                                          D. A scholarship letter
    70. What can we learn from the passage?
    A. The number of American senior students applying for financial aid is increasing.
    B. Rachel Brown has given up NYU because of its high tuition and big debts.
    C. It is inevitably hard for college students to borrow money to cover costs.
    D. An interest-free loan for students helps more students apply for Stanford.              
    71. The passage mainly focuses on ______.
    A. the calculation of different costs including tuition
    B. the extremely hard financial situation in America
    C. the excitement of students’ being able to enter ideal colleges
    D. the financial crisis of families over college entrance

    根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
    Happiness is the only true measure of personal success. Making other people happy is the highest expression of success. 【小题1】 With that in mind, here are some suggestions that will immediately increase the amount of happiness in your life:
    【小题2】
    If there’s any big truth about life, it’s that it usually lives up to your expectations. Therefore, when you rise from bed, make your first thought: “Something wonderful is going to happen today. Guess what? You’re probably right.
    Take time to plan and prioritize (优先处理).
    The most common source of stress is the thought that you’ve got too much work to do. Rather than worry about it, pick one thing that will move you closer to your highest goal and purpose in life. Then do that first.
    Eat high quality food slowly.
    【小题3】 Even so, at least once a day try to eat something really delicious, like a small chunk of fine cheese or and imported chocolate. Taste it, focus on it and enjoy it.
    Let go of your results.
    The big enemy of happiness is worry, which comes from focusing on events that are outside your control. Once you’ve taken action, there’s usually nothing more you can do. 【小题4】
    End each day with gratitude.
    Just before you go to bed, write down at least one wonderful thing that happened. It might be something as small as making a child laugh or something as huge as a million dollar deal. 【小题5】

    A．Start each day with expectations.
    B．Give a gift to everyone you meet.
    C．Thinking about that thing makes your head hurt.
    D．It’s impossible to make others happy if you’re not happy.
    E. Whatever it is, be grateful for that day because it will never come again.
    F. Sometimes we can’t avoid eating something quickly and running.
    G. Focus on the job at hand rather than some fantasy that might happen.

    As a young girl growing up in the 1930s, I always wanted to fly a plane, but back then it was almost unheard of for a woman to do that. I got a taste of that dream in 2001, when my husband arranged for me to ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday. But the experience turned out to be very dull. Around that time, I told my husband that I wanted to skydive. So when our retirement community announced that they were having an essay competition and the topic was an experience of a lifetime that you wanted to have, I decided to write about my dream.

    In the essay, I wrote about my desire to skydive, stating George Brush Sr. did it at age 80. Why not me? I was just 84 and in pretty good health. A year went by and I heard nothing. But then at a community party in late April 2009, they announced that I was one of the winners. I just couldn’t believe it. Inspired by this, I decided to realize my dream, even though some of my family members and my doctor were against it.

    On June 11, 2009, nearly 40 of my family and friends gathered in the area close to where I would land while I headed up in the airplane. My instructor, Jay, guided me through the experience. The plane was the noisiest one I had ever been in, but I wasn’t frightened—I was really just looking forward to the experience. When we reached 13,000 feet, Jay instructed me to throw myself out of the plane. When we first hit the air, the wind was so strong that I could hardly breathe. For a second I thought, “What have I gotten myself into?” But then everything got calmer. We were in a free fall for about a minute before Jay opened the parachute（降落伞）, then we just floated downward for about five minutes. Being up in the clouds and looking at the view below was unlike anything I have ever felt—much better than the hot air balloon. I was just enjoying it.

     Skydiving was really one of the greatest experiences of my life. I hope other people will look at me and realize that you don’t stop living just because you are 84 years old. If there’s something you want to experience, look into it. If it’s something that is possible, make it happen.

    1.What happened to the author in 2001?

    A. She flew an airplane.

    B. She entered a competition.

    C. She went on a hot air balloon ride.

    2.The author mentioned George Bush Sr. in her essay to       .

    A. make her argument persuasive

    B. show her admiration for him

    C. compare their health condition

    D. build up her own reputation

    3. How did the author feel immediately after she jumped out of the plane?

    A. Excited.         B. Regretful.           C. Nervous.         D. Scared.

    4.What did the author enjoy most when she was skydiving?

    A. The beautiful clouds.                    B. The wonderful view.

    C. The company of Jay.                      D. The one-minute free fall.

    5.What is the best title of the passage?

        A. Impossible is nothing.                   B. A dream made come true.

        C. An unforgettable skydiving.              D. I Went Skydiving at 84!
