7．John was part of my childhood growing up in the 1970s and a link to sunny，fun-filled days spent on the beach at Bangor in the Northern Ireland where we went for our summer holidays．To many，he was a mystery．Every afternoon John would wander to the end of the pier（码头） where he fed the seagulls（海鸥）and delighted in the sound of their excited cries as they flew around his head．
Often I asked my family questions regarding John．Eventually I gave up as no one could tell me anything about him．As I grew up，my visit to the beach became less frequent，and my memories of John buried in a child's imagination．
Last year memories came flooding back as I walked along the coastline，where I noticed a lady feeding the seagulls on the pier，and I decided to introduce myself．Then I came to know that the lady was John's daughter，and after John left this world she carried out the ritual （惯例），which had held such importance for her father．
In some strange way I felt we shared a bond，each needing to remember．In return，Lucy told me of John's life，his days in the British Navy（海军）during World War I and how he almost lost hope when his ship was attacked by a German U-boat in the North Sea and he found himself in a lifeboat with five others．
Close to death，he thought he heard the sound of wings．He put up his hands，only to catch a seagull that had landed on the side of the boat．The seagull saved the lives of the six men as it was used to catch fish，which kept them alive until they reached land．This period of John's life was one he never talked about．But the ritual he first performed as a young man remained a part of him until he died．
Now I visit Lucy as often as I can，just to chat or very often walk along the beach to the pier end．We enjoy the comfortable silence，each lost in special memories．
66．Seeing John feeding the seagulls，the author might feelC．
A．proud    B．worried      C．curious     D．guilty
67．Why did the author introduce herself to the lady？D
A．She wanted to make more friends．
B．She was also fond of feeding seagulls．
C．She was told the lady was John's daughter．
D．She was attracted by what the lady was doing．
68．John survived（从…中幸存下来） the attack because ofA．
A．a seagull
B．a German U-boat
C．his daughter
D．the British Navy
69．We can infer from the text that JohnB．
A．once served in both world wars
B．was a man with a grateful（感恩的）heart
C．spent all his life in Bangor
D．joined the navy in the 1970s
70．What does the author mainly tell us in the text？C
A．She expressed her thanks to a seagull that saved her life．
B．She told us the story of how she made friends with a lady．
C．She shared with us her memories of a man who fed seagulls．

15．A policeman is questioning 3blondes （金发女人） who are training to become detectives．To test their skills in recognizing a suspect （嫌疑犯）．He shows the first blonde a picture for 5seconds and then hides it．
"This is your suspect．How would you recognize him？"
The first blonde answers，"That's easy．We'll catch him fast because he only has one eye!"The policeman says，"Well…uh…that's because the picture shows his profile （侧面轮廓）．"
Slightly confused by this ridiculous response，he flashes the picture for 5seconds at the second blonde and asks her，"This is your suspect．How would you recognize him？"
The second blonde giggles，flips her hair and says，"Ha!He'd be too easy to catch because he only has one ear!"
The policeman angrily responds，"What's the matter with you two？Of course only one eye and one ear are showing because it's a picture of his profile!Is that the best answer you can come up with？"
Extremely frustrated at this point，he shows the picture to the third blonde and in a very testy voice asks，"This is your suspect．How would you recognize him？"He quickly adds，"Think hard before giving me a stupid answer．"
The blonde looks at the picture intently for a moment and says，"Hmm…the suspect wears contact lenses （隐形眼镜）．"
The policeman is surprised and speechless because he really doesn't know himself if the suspect wears contacts or not．"Well，that's an interesting answer…Wait here for a few minutes while I check his file and I'll get back to you on that．"He leaves the room and goes to his office，checks the suspect's file in his computer，and comes back with a beaming smile on his face．"Wow!I can't believe it…it's true!The suspect does in fact wear contact lenses．Good work!How were you able to make such an acute observation？"
"That's easy，"the blonde replies．"He can't wear regular glasses because he only has one eye and one ear．"

12．You are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or creator．When you choose to be a victim，the world is a cold and difficult place．"They"did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering．"They"are wrong and bad，and life is terrible as long as"they"are around．Or you may blame yourself for all your problems，thus internalizing（内化）your victimization．The truth is，your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others．
Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently．They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives，but they don't let this get in the way．They know they have their weaknesses，yet they don't blame themselves when they fail．Whatever happens，they have choice in the matter．They believe their dance with each sacred（神圣的）moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth．
Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities，yet their experience of life is worlds apart．Victims relish （沉溺）in anger，guilt，and other emotions that cause others---and even themselves---to feel like victims，too．Creators consciously choose love，inspiration，and other qualities which inspire not only themselves，but all around them．Both victims ad creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives．
In reality，all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives．One person，on losing a job or a special relationship，may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months，years，or even a lifetime．Another with the same experience may choose to first experience the grief，then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life．
In every moment and every circumstance，you can choose to have fuller，richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within，and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are．

41．What does the word"they"in Paragraph 1probably refer to？A

A．seem willing to experience failures in life
B．possess the ability to predict future life

D．have potential to create something new
43．What can we learn from Paragraph 3？B
A．Creators and victims face quite different things in life．
B．Creators and victims are masters of their lives．
C．Victims can influence more people than creators．
D．Compared with victims，creators are more emotional．
44．The examples mentioned in Paragraph 4show thatA．

16．Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance （pocket money）．The purpose is to let children learn from experiences at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly．
The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family．Timing is another consideration．Some children get a weekly allowance．Others get a monthly allowance．
     In any case，parents should make clear what，if anything，the child is expected to pay for with the money．At first，young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it．If they do this，they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget （预算）．Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance．The object is to show young people that a budget demands a choice between spending and saving．Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs，like clothing or electronics．
   Many people who have written on the subject of allowances say it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home．These jobs are a normal part of family life．Paying children to do extra work around the house，however，can be useful．It can even provide an understanding of how a business works．
     Allowances give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with money．They can share it in the form of gifts or giving to a good cause．They can spend it by buying things they want．Or they can save it．
     Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice．You have to cut costs and plan for the future．Requiring children to save part of their allowances can also open the door to future saving and investing．Many banks offer services to help children and teenagers learn about personal finance．A saving account is an excellent way to learn about the power of compound interest．
     Compounding works by paying interest．So，for example，one dollar invested at two percent interest for two years will earn two cents in the first year．The second year，the money will earn two percent of one dollar and two cents，and so on．That may not seem like a lot，but over time it adds up．
32．Parents give their children allowances in order toC．
A．show off their wealth of family
B．let them make more money
C．learn the value of money
D．help children manage family finance
33．What is the second paragraph mainly about？D
A．The time to give allowances
B．The way to spend alloweances．
C．the amount of allowances given to children．
D．Considerations taken to give allowances．
34．Why are parents adivsed to offer yougn children allowances stricktly as planned？A
A．To help children learn to make a budget．
B．To have children save money for larger costs．
C．To let children make fewer mistakes．
D．To give them more allowances next time．
35．What does the author intend to tel lthe readers？C
A．The methods of limiting allowances．
B．The advice on a better family budget．
C．Teaching children to use allowances wisely．
D．Offering allowances to children properly．

17．People are being lured （引诱） onto Facebook with the promise of a fun，free service without realizing they're paying for it by giving up large amounts of personal information．Facebook then attempts to make money by selling their data to advertisers that want to send targeted messages．
Most Facebook users don't realize this is happening．Even if they know what the company is up to，they still have no idea what they're paying for Facebook because people don't really know what their personal data is worth．
The biggest problem，however，is that the company keeps changing the rules．Early on，you keep everything private．That was the great thing about facebook-you could create your own little private network．Last year，the company changed its privacy rules so that many things-your city，your photo，your friends'names-were set，by default （默认） to be shared with everyone on the Internet．
According to Facebook's vice-president Elliot Schrage，the company is simply making changes to improve its service，and if people don't share information，they have a"less satisfying experience"．
Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money．Its original business model，which involved selling ads and putting them at the side of the page，totally failed．Who wants to look at ads when they're online connecting with their friends？
The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington．In April，Senator Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy．He also urged the Federal Trade Commission to set guidelines for social-networking sites．"I think the senator rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what the new products were and how people could choose to use them or not to use them，"Schrage admits．
I suspect that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade our privacy is only the beginning，which is why I'm considering deactivating（撤销） my account．Facebook is a handy site，but I'm upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I don't know．That's too high a price to pay．

31．What do we learn about Facebook from the first paragraph？C
A．It is a website that sends messages to targeted users．
B．It makes money by putting on advertisements．
C．It profits by selling its users'personal data．
D．It provides loads of information to its users．
32．What does the author say about most Facebook users？B
A．They are reluctant to give up their personal information．
B．They don't know their personal data enriches Facebook．
C．They don't identify themselves when using the website．
D．They care very little about their personal information．
33．Why does Facebook make changes to its rules according to Elliot Schrage？A
A．To provide better service to its users．
B．To follow the Federal guidelines．
C．To improve its users'connectivity．
D．To expand its scope of business．
34．What does Senator Charles Schumer advocate？C
A．Setting guidelines for advertising on websites．
B．Banning the sharing of users'personal information．
C．Formulating regulations for social-networking sites．
D．Removing ads from all social-networking sites．
35．Why does the author plan to cancel his Facebook account？C
A．He is dissatisfied with its current service．
B．He finds many of its users untrustworthy．
C．He doesn't want his personal data abused．
D．He is upset by its frequent rule changes．
