    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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
    Struggling in the US? Move to China!
    I graduated from the university with a degree of civil engineer. It is a good field but my heart was not in it. I wanted to be an actor or work in the entertainment industry…living a creative life. My choice of civil engineering was really a mistake but I realized too late. As soon as I graduated, I move straight to Los Angeles----the home of the film and television industry!
    For three years, I tried to get a job in that field. I often worked as an extra in movies and TV shows----standing in the background while actors are in the foreground. This was fun for a while, but I wanted a real acting job, where I was speaking! Sadly, in Los Angeles, there is too much competition. Every race and age is represented: old, young, black, white, Asian, and thousands of blondish-red haired Midwestern types like me. Being an extra couldn’t make enough money for me to live in LA. I had to do something else for money.
    After three years of trying, I gave up my dream of being an actor and started a different career. I then tried network-marketing, but in the end, that failed. Seven years after graduating from college, I was still in debt, still searching for a satisfactory life. I decided to go back to civil engineering.
    However, I was starting to get very disappointed with my life. Why is life not like what I expected?
    I expected to have made a lot of money, gotten married, with a house and nice cars, kids, time freedom, etc. Millions of people lead lives with their dreams shelved, existing but not really living. I want my life to be different, more satisfactory, more alive. America was not providing that for me…
    In addition, America was too expensive----always worrying about money was a headache. I wanted a life filled with adventure, romance, friendships, successes, and dreams realized.
    …
    I decided to move to China.
    51. How can we describe the writer’s attitude toward life?
    A. Practical.                 B. Passive.                    C. Disappointed.           D. Positive.
    52. What does the underlined sentence mean?
    A. A lot of people are living but they are not enjoying their life.
    B. A lot of people are living with dreams though their life is not that enjoyable.
    C. A lot of people give up their dreams and yet are living a good life.
    D. A lot of people don’t have dreams, nor do they want to live either.
    53. What did the writer do before he finally decided to move to China?
    A. Engineerextramarketingengineer.           B. Extramarketingengineer.
    C. Engineerextramarketing .                           D. Extraengineermarketing.

    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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

    WHAT can help you make a fortune in the future? Graduating from a top university might not be enough．A new study from the University of Essex in Britain has shown that the more friends you have in school, the more money you'll earn later．

    The idea that popularity could have a serious influence on one's earning potential shouldn't come as too much of a surprise．The researchers noted that if you want to get ahead in life, social skills and networking are easily as powerful as talent and hard work．

    "If a person has lots of friends, it means that he or she has the ability to get along with others in all kinds of different situations," said Xu Yanchun, 17, from Nantou High School in Shenzhen, who totally agreed with the recent finding．" Also, friends always help each other．They not only create wider social circles for you but lift your mood when you are occasionally in low spirits," said Xu．She believed that all this helps you “earn a higher salary”．

    Maybe that's why some people think the younger generations are in the age of Friendalholism （交友狂症）?A woman even complained that the networking website Facebook's 5,000-friend limit was too low for her large reserve of social contacts．

    But what does a friend mean? Should friends be regarded as a form of currency?

    " Call me uncool, but I think of a friend as an actual person with whom I have an actual history and whom I enjoy actually seeing．It seems, however, ．that this is no longer the definition of ' friend'," said Meghan Daum, who works with The Los Angeles Times in the US．

    Daum dislikes the idea that quantity trumps quality in the age of friendaholism．She thought the idea of friendship, at least among the growing population of Internet social networkers, was to get as many of not-really -friends as possible．For example, a friend might be someone you might know personally but who could just as easily be the friend of a friend of some other Facebook friend you don't actually know．Although she agreed that social ties grease （润滑） the wheels of life, she also warned, "Too bad one thing money can't buy is a real friend．"

    56．What can friends do in the eyes of Xu Yanchun?

             A．They can help you with your schoolwork．

             B．They teach you how to make more money．

             C．They introduce their friends to you．

             D．They help you to get rid of sadness and cheer up．

    57．What will be needed if you are to achieve success according to the researchers?

             A．Social skills, friends, good mood and fortune．

             B．Social skills, talent, hard work and the facebook．

             C．Social skills, networking, potential and fortune．

             D．Social skills, networking, talent and hard work．

    58．We learn that Meghan Daum's attitude towards friends-is somewhat____．

             A．up-to-date             B．traditional        C．confused    D．optimistic

    59．What does the word "trumps" in the last paragragh mean?

             A．is worse than          B．is equal to C．is better than        D．is similar to

    countdown.

    show.
          The New Year's Eve blue moon will be visible in the United States, Canada, Europe, South America
    and Africa.For partygoers in Australia and Asia, the full moon does not show up until New Year's Day,

    Eve when part of the moon enters the Earth's shadow.The eclipse will not be visible in the Americas.
          A full moon occurs every 29.5 days, and most years have 12 ones.On average, an extra full moon in

    New Year's Eve blue moons are rarer, occurring every 19 years.The last time was in 1990.
         Blue moons have no astronomical significance, said Greg  Laughlin, an astronomer at the University
    of California, Santa Cruz."' Blue moon' is just a name in the same sense as 'a hunter's moon'  or 'a
    harvest moon', "  Laughlin said in  an email.
         The popular definition of blue moon came about after a writer for, Sky & Telescope magazine in
    1946 misinterpreted (误解) the Maine Farmer's Almanac (历书) and labeled a blue moon as the
    second full moon in a month.In fact, the almanac defined a blue moon as the third full moon in a season
    with four full moons, not the usual three.Though Sky & Telescope corrected the mistake decades later,
    the definition caught_on.
