    5．While applying to college may seem easy，getting in can be tough!When you apply for college，you will have to be honest with yourself and do a bit of research to find the right fit．Here are three steps to take when applying to colleges for the best chances at getting into the best college for you．
         Step l：Making A List Of Colleges To Apply To
         With over 6，000 colleges in the United States，the
    first step in applying to college is to do some research
    and make a college list．This process will be different for
    everyone．The number of colleges you apply to can vary，
    from applying  to 1 school （not recommended） to 30
    schools （not recommended），each applicant can choose
    how many colleges they apply to．Many limit the number because applications are accompanied by a fee．．
         Step2：Splitting The List Into Target，Reach and Safety Schools                    
         In general，students will want to apply to three types of schools：Target，Reach and Safety schools．It is up to you how many applications you send，but a good mix would be more target than reach，and at least one safety．You will need to take your list，and now decide which are your top picks，which are attainable for you academically，which are affordable for you only with aid，and refine your broad list into a group of schools that gives you the best chance for success．Talk to an admissions counselor at your high school if you have questions about this．
         Step 3：Completing and Sending Applications to Colleges
         Once your list is complete you are ready to apply to college by completing and sending in applications!College applications take time to complete-you have to write essays，ask for recommendations and get test scores sent to schools-so stay organized！All colleges will require these types of application materials，so start thinking about these items well before October or December．Once you complete and send them，then you have successfully applied to college．
    66．It can be learned from the first paragraph thatA．
    A．you should be cautious to pick up the right college
    B．you don't have to think twice before applying to college

    1．Paper is a cheap and accessible medium that can produce beautiful results．To most people，making a paper plane could be one of the simplest things to do．It's the simplest and easiest form of paper art．And paper art can be traced back to Japan，where it originated over a thousand years ago．However，there's a special minority who takes paper art to the next level，magically turning the plain white or colored paper into some of the most amazing artworks．Check out the following artists and their works!
    The Danish artist Peter Callesen is famous for his talent in combining the minimalism（极简的） of a white sheet of paper with the complexity of carefully cut and folded paper and uses the two to build out some pleasing works．
    The British artist Su Blackwell often goes to secondhand bookstores-to look for materials with which she can carve out delicate sculptures．The models look as if they"grow"naturally from the pages of the books．The artist finds inspiration from the book title or a paragraph or picture inside and then spends months carefully slicing each one into an eye-catching paper model．Her old book sculptures sell for up to￡5，000each．
    By carefully folding simple pieces of paper，German artist Simon Schubert creates amazing masterpieces．He turns paper into architectural masterpieces by folding a simple piece of paper to shape the creases（褶痕），then unfolding it to show the fascinating artwork．
    Another master of paperfolding is Jen Stark．Her artwork is often in the form of colorful caves and topographic（地形的） maps．Using her vivid imagination and a special knife，she is a modern day magician who turns humble materials like construction paper and glue into fantastic，complicated sculptures that puzzle the eyes．Her work draws inspiration from nature．

    25．According to the passage，paper artD．
    A．is about planefolding                 B．is most prosperous in Japan
    C．dates back to 1000B．C．D．is now on a new level

    13．Telling fewer lies benefits people physically and mentally．Anita Kelly，study author and professor of psychology at the University of Notre Dame，recruited 110adults for her study．She divided them into two groups and asked one group to stop lying for 10weeks．Lies included big ones and tiny ones-any false statement-but participants were still allowed to leave out the truth，keep secrets and avoid questions they didn't want to answer，etc．The other group wasn't given any special instructions about lying．
    It turns out that both groups reduced their lying，but those who were specifically told to tell the truth improved their health more．"We found that the participants could purposefully and dramatically reduce their everyday lies，and that in turn was associated with significantly improved health，"said Kelly．
    When participants in the no-lie group told three fewer white lies than they did in other weeks，they experienced，on average，fewer mental-health complaints and physical complaints．They were less likely to feel tense or sad and also experienced fewer sore throats and headaches．They also reported that personal relationships improved．Additionally，participants found themselves being honest about their daily accomplishments，and they stopped making up excuses for being late or failing to complete a task，for example．
    "It's certainly a worthy goal to have people be more honest and interact with others in a more honest way，"says psychologist Robert Feldman．"That would be beneficial．I'm a little doubtful that it makes us all healthier，but it may make us healthier in a psychological way．"

    72．Which of the following is true according to the text？C．
    A．People who tell lies are healthier than those who don't
    B．Being honest can help cure sore throats and headache
    C．Not all the participants were required to tell the truth
    D．Participants involved are asked not to keep secrets
    73．The participants of the two groupsC．
    A．told as many lies as before
    B．were almost equally healthy
    C．tended to lie less about their activities
    D．experienced tenser personal relationships
    74．From Robert Feldman，we can learn thatB．
    A．white lies might make people have more complaints
    B．honesty is likely to help people become mentally healthier
    C．people should not be honest with others but with themselves
    D．telling the truth can make people physically and mentally healthy
    75．The text is mainly aboutA．
    A．the connection between honesty and health
    B．research on physical and mental health
    C．advice for being an honest person
    D．effects of honesty on personal relationships．

    20．Many of us mistakenly believe thai it's wrong to think we have any good qualities．We may spend a lot of time blaming ourselves for our negative qualities，thinking that self criticism is the key to improvirtg our pcrformance．However，a constallt focus on our supposed shortcomings can stop our efforts to make friends with other people．How can we believe that others could like  us if we believe our inner being is flawed？
     If someone seems to dislike you，the reason for that dislike might have little or nothing to do with you．The person who doesn't like you miglit be fearful，or shallow．or busy or shy．Perhaps you and that person are simply a mismatch for each other at this particular time．
    Don't take yourself out of the game by deciding that your flaws are bigger than your good qualities．In fact，some of the very qualities you consider to be flaws may be irresistible to someone else．Aliliough some factors that migllt cause one person to reject you，there are at least many factors that will work in your favor．

    10．When Americans in the manufacturing sector （制造业） cried out，"The Chinese are coming，"some years ago，they expressed a restless concern and warning about a possible loss of job opportunities．Now Americans in the tourism industry issued the same cry on June 17-but this time，it was a welcome call to greet the first organized group of Chinese tourists to the United States．U．S．tourism officials have high expectations that well-off Chinese visitors，who are ready and willing to spend loads of yuan，will give a big help to their industry．
    "We're very excited，"said Helen N．Marano，Director of the Office of Travel and Tourism Industries under the U．S．Department of Commerce．Before she talked to Beijing Review on June 17，Marano and her colleagues had been waiting for more than two hours at Washington Dulles International Airport to give a warm welcome to the first organized group of Chinese tourists to visit the United States．
    The first group consisted of 250 tourists，who left from Beijing，Shanghai and Guangdong on June 17，the day when newly appointed Chinese Vice Premier Wang Qishan and U．S．Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson started the fourth round of the China-U．S．Strategic Economic Dialogue （SED） in Annapolis，Maryland．Each was backed by a big group of heavyweight ministerial officials．
    Coincidence （巧合） could not provide a satisfactory explanation to the two events taking place on the same day．As a perfect example of one of the concrete results of the high-level dialogue between the two countries started by Chinese President Hu Jintao and U．S．President George W．Bush in 2006，the first Chinese tourist group's arrival in the United States was widely reported by the Chinese media．
    At the previous SED meeting last December，Chairman of the Chinese National Tourism Administration Shao Qiwei and U．S．Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez signed an agreement between China and the United States to advance tourist group travel from China to the United States．Under this agreement，China agreed to give an"approved destination status"to the United States，allowing Chinese travel agencies to market tourism to American destinations and permitting U．S．destinations to advertise directly to the Chinese public．
    The agreement"is estimated to bring up to 100 million Chinese travelers to the United States over the next 15 years，"Paulson said．
    But what people in the U．S．tourism industry care more about is how they can get a big slice of the pie．
    "I'm getting calls already from people saying things like，‘How do we get to do this？'and‘How do we attract Chinese tourists to our area？'"Marano told Beijing Review．Marano said she had been waiting for this market to be open for more than five years and that she was so excited now to see it finally happen．

    63．When，a few years ago，some Americans shouted"the Chinese are coming"，they 
    D．
    A．were worried that the Chinese language would take the place of English
    B．were concerned that the number of the Chinese tourists would be bigger than the locals 
    C．wanted to warn that the U．S．economy would suffer heavy losses
    D．feared that large numbers of Chinese moving into the U．S．would make many Americans jobless
    64．Helen N．Marano was excited becauseB．
    A．large numbers of Chinese touring the U．S．would tip her and her colleagues
    B．the Chinese touring in the U．S．would help improve its industry
    C．the Chinese are usually well organized when travelling
    D．Wang Qishan and Henry Paulson started the fourth round of the China-U．S．SED
    65．We can infer from the passage thatC．
    A．Chinese tourist agencies could organize groups of Chinese to go to the U．S．without the agreement 
    B．Marano and her colleagues waited at the airport to see how well organized the Chinese were
    C．many Americans take a positive attitude toward Chinese tourists
    D．about 100 million Americans will travel to China in the next 15 years
    66．Which of the following is the best title for this passage？A
    A．The Chinese are coming
    B．The fourth-round China-U．S．SED
    C．More Chinese，more job opportunities

    17．This Mother's Day will be the 8th year I have spent without my own mother．She passed away less than a month before Mother's Day in the year 2000．She had been ill for almost two years，and I didn't cry when she died，or at her funeral，but on that first Mother's Day without her．On that day，I realized that this person I loved and depended on was gone forever．
    She still lives in family memories，in the thoughts of her friends and co-workers，in the values she had instilled（灌输） in her children，and in the lovely flower gardens that she had so carefully tended．
    She loved her gladioli and irises．Each fall she would dig the bulbs out of the soil and carefully wrap them in paper．The bulbs would be stored until the following spring when they would be replanted．It seemed like a lot of effort to me，but each year her flower garden was more glorious than the year before．She put the same hard work into caring for her family，instilling in her children a sense of justice and fair play，compassion，and strong moral values so that we blossomed．
    Share anecdotes about your mother's life at your Mother's Day party．Too often，we avoid speaking of those loved ones who have passed away，fearful that we will unearth sad feelings．It doesn't have to be that way．Sharing fond memories and stories of the life we shared with her can be a healing process that binds（捆绑）the family together．
    My mother passed away when her oldest grandchild was only eight years old．Children will enjoy sharing pictures and stories of the grandmother they may have never known or have little memory of．Sharing anecdotes to pass on to the next generation will give children a feeling of family history and continuity，and may be one of the best ways to honor our mothers and grandmothers who have gone before us．

    66．What does the underlined words"passed away"（ in Paragraph 1）mean？A
    A．died        B．continued       C．started       D．lasted
    67．On the first Mother's Day after mum died the author realizedC．
