    13．I recently had dinner with someone who told me that one of his best friends had been killed in a private plane crash，and something happened at the memorial service that he'll never forget．He shared the story with me．
    At the memorial service，his friend's wife walked to the platform to speak to the gathering． She said a friend had asked her the best memory she had of their life together．At the moment，she had been too sad to answer，but she had thought about it since and wanted to answer the question．
    They were in their late forties when he died，and she began talking about a time in their life almost twenty years earlier．She had quit her job to obtain her master's degree，and her husband never hesitated in his support．
    He held down his own job and also did the cooking，cleaning，and other housework while she studied for her degree． One time they both stayed up all night．She was finishing her paper，and he was preparing for an important-business meeting．That morning，she walked out of her study，leaned against the door by the stairs，looked at her husband downstairs and just thought about how much she loved him．She knew how important this meeting was to his future，and she was feeling guilty that she didn't even have time to make his breakfast．He took his briefcase and hurried out．
    She heard the garage door open and close，but much to her surprise，she heard it open again about thirty seconds later．From above，she watched her husband dash into the house and walk over to the forgotten coffee table．Marking the surface of it with his finger through the dust with the words"I love you"，then he raced back to his car．
    The new widow then looked out at her audience and said，"John and I had a wonderful life together．We have been around the world several times．We've had everything money can buy…but nothing comes close to that moment．"
        Hearing this，I was deeply moved．"Love makes life worthwhile．"
    56．The service was held toB
    A．listen to the woman's story                       
    B．mourn the woman's husband
    C．meet some old friends              
    D．share the woman's sadness
    57．Why did the woman quit her job？D
    A．She had to support her husband．
    B．She had too much housework to do．
    C．She wanted to travel around the world．
    D．She needed to concentrate on her studies．
    58．"He held down his own job'"______"in Paragraph 4 means thatA．
    A．he managed to keep his job                        
    B．he needed help in his work
    C．he cancelled his job                              
    D．he delayed his work

    A．how busy their life was                           
    B．how her husband loved her
    C．how they improved their life                      
    D．how hard her husband worked．

    19．We all know that eating junk food can make us fat．However，a new study suggests that it can do more than that-it can also make us lazy，reported CBS News．
    In the study，researchers at the University of California，Los Angeles，US divided 32female rats into two groups．The first group was fed a diet of healthy food such as corn and fish，while the second was given a diet of highly processed （加工的） food rich in sugar，namely"junk food"．
    Within three months，the rats in the second group were already much fatter than those on the healthy diet．And when researchers trained the rats to do simple tasks，they found even more differences between the two groups rather than weight．
    During the task-pushing a lever （杠杆） to receive a reward of sugar water-the rats on the junk food diet were found to be less willing to move，and they took longer breaks between each push than the lean rats did．
    "It is as if the rat is thinking‘This is too much work'，"Aaron Blaisdell，leader of the study，told the Los Angeles Times．
    But what about the possibility that the fat rats were less passionate about getting sugar water because they were already eating lots of sugar in their daily diet？That's why researchers repeated the tests by rewarding fat rats with plain water when they were extremely thirsty．However，the results came out just the same．
    According to researchers，these differences suggest that junk food changed the chemistry in the rats'brains．
    The experiment didn't end there．After six months，the rats'diets were switched，and the overweight rats were given a healthy diet for nine days．However，this change didn't help reduce their weight or improve their ability to perform tasks，which means the effects of their junk food diet persisted （持续存在）．"There's no quick fix，"said Blaisdell．
    For a long time，we've believed that people become fat because they are lazy．But this study has proven the opposite to be true as well，which indicates that laziness and obesity are a"vicious cycle （恶性循环）"．
    So，if you constantly feel tired，lacking any urge to get up from your chair，it could be that you've been studying too hard．But you should also pay attention to your diet．
    46．During the first three months of the experiment by researchers at the University of California，C．
    A．rats from the healthy diet group ate nothing but corn and fish
    B．rats on the junk food diet ate more than those on healthy diet
    C．rats on the healthy food diet performed better at simple tasks than those on the junk food diet
    D．rats on the junk food diet seemed uninterested in sugary food
    47．The researchers rewarded thirsty rats with plain water in the lever test toB．
    A．help them control their weight
    B．test whether fat rats lost interest in the test because they had taken enough sugar
    C．change the diet habits of fat rats
    D．find out the influence of sugar on rats'brains
    48．The underlined word"there"refers toD．
    A．after the rats on the junk food diet had worked hard to get sugar water
    B．after the type of food rats prefer had been identified
    C．after a quick cure for obesity had been found
    D．after the fact that fatter rats are lazier than lean rats had been found
    49．We can conclude from the article thatC．
    A．fat people are usually lazier than lean people
    B．people should switch between different types of diets to keep healthy
    C．being overweight and being lazy can feed into each other
    D．laziness is the main cause of weight problems
    50．Which of the following is Not Right according to the passage？B
    A．Eating junk food can make us fat．
    B．Researchers got different results after repeated the tests to fat rats．
    C．For a long time，we've believed that people become fat because they are lazy．
    D．If you constantly feel tired or study too hard，you need to pay attention to your diet．

    1．Some people bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have fully realized on your own．My mom was one of those people．
    My father died when I was nine months old，making my mom a single mother at the age of eighteen．While I was growing up，we lived a very hard life．We had little money，but my mom gave me a lot of love．Each night，she sat me on her lap and spoke the words that would change my life，"Kemmons，you are certain to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it．"
    At fourteen，I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never walk again．Every day，my mother spoke to me in her gentle，loving voice，telling me that no matter what those doctors said，I could walk again if I wanted to．She drove that message so deep onto my heart that I finally believed her．A year later，I returned to school-walking on my own!
    When the Great Depression（大萧条）hit，my mom lost her job．Then I left school to support the both of us．At that moment，I was determined never to be poor again．
    Over the years，I experienced various levels of business success．But the real turning point occurred on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951．I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels available for families and was angry that they charged an extra﹩2for each child．That was too expensive for the average American family．I told my wife tat I was going to open a motel（汽车旅馆）for families that would never charge extra for children．There were plenty of doubters at that time．
    Not surprisingly，mom was one of my strongest supporters．She worked behind the desk and even designed the room style．As in any business，we experienced a lot of challenges．But with my mother's words deeply rooted in my soul，I never doubted we would succeed．Fifteen years later，we had the largest hotel system in the world-Holiday Inn．In 1979my company had 1，759inns in more than fifty countries with an income of﹩1billion a year．
    You may not have started out life in the best situation．But if you can find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself，nothing can stop you．

    46．What caused Kemmons to start a motel by himself？B
    A．His previous business success．
    B．His terrible experience in the hotel．
    C．Loving，supportive and strong-willed．
    D．Strict，sensitive and supportive．
    47．Which of the following best describes Kemmons'mother？C
    A．Modest，helpful，and hard-working．
    B．Careful，helpful and beautiful．
    C．Loving，supportive and strong-willed．
    D．Strict，sensitive and supportive．
    48．Which of the following led to Kemmons'success according to the passage？D
    A．A poor family，higher education，self-confidence and hard work．
    B．Mom's encouragement，a poor family，higher education，and opportunities．
    C．Mom's encouragement，a poor family，higher education，and clear goals．
    D．Mom's encouragement，clear goals，self-confidence and hard work．

    3．An idea came to me，and I turned off the lights in the studio．In the darkness，I took off my shirt and took up the cello （大提琴）； it was the first time in my life I'd fel the instrument against my bare chest．I'd never thought about that； music scholars always talk about the resonating properties （共振） of various instruments，but surely the performer's own body must have some effect on the sound．As I dug into the notes I imagined that my own chest and lungs were extensions of the sound box； I seemed to be able to change the sound by the way I sat，and by varying the muscular tightness in my upper body．
    After improvising for a while，I started playing，still in the darkness．I heard the music through my skin．For the first time I didn't think about how it would sound to anyone else，and slowly，joyfully，gratefully，I started to hear again．The notes sang out，first like a trickle：，then like a fountain of cool water bubbling up from a hole in the middle of a desert．After an hour or soI looked up，and in the darkness saw the outline of the cat sitting on the floor in front of me，cleaning her paws and purring loudly，I had an audience again，humble as it was．
    So that's what I do now with my cello．At least once a clay I find time to tune it，close my eyes and listen．It's probably not going to lead to the kind of comeback I'd be thirsty for-years of playing badly have left scars on my technique-but I might eventually try giving a concert if I feel up to it．
    Occasionally I feel a stab of longing，and I wish I could give just one more concert on a great stage before m lights blink off，but that longing passes more quickly now．I take comfort in the fact that，unlike the way I felt before，I can enjoy playing for myself now．I feel relaxed and expansive when I play，as if I could stretch out my arms and reach from one end of the apartment to the other．A feeling of completeness and dignity surrounds me and lifts me up．

    60．The writer put the cello against his bare chest toB．
    A．test music scholars'ideas about the resonating properties
    B．experience the effect of his body on the musical sound
    C．reduce his muscular tightness in his upper body
    D．check the function of the sound box
    61．In Paragraph 2，the writer intends toC．
    A．explain his feelings of playing before a cat
    B．identify specific pieces of music he layed
    C．express his feelings of playing against his body
    D．describe the sound when he played against his body
    62．From the last paragraph we can infer that the writer wasA．
    A．optimistic    B．discouraged     C．nervous      D．enthusiastic
    63．The passage is mainly aboutC
    A．a musician playing he cello for an audience
    B．a musician's feelings when playing the cello
    C．a musician finding joy in playing music in a new way
    D．a musician's desire to return to his former profession．
