    15．Sir Steven Redgrave
    Winner of 5 Olympic Gold Medals
    "In 1997 I was found to have developed diabetes（糖尿病）．Believing my career was over，I felt extremely low．Then one of the specialists said there was to no reason why I should stop training and competing．That was it-the encouragement I needed．I could still be a winner if I believed in myself．I am not saying that it isn't difficult sometimes．But I wanted to prove to myself that I wasn't finished yet．Nothing is to stand in my way．"
    Karen Pickering
    Swimming World Champion
    "I swim 4 hours a day，6 days a week．I manage that sort of workload by putting it on top of my diary．This is the key to success-you can't follow a career in any field without being well-organized．List what you believe you can achieve．Trust yourself，write down your goals for the day，however small they are，and you'll be a step closer to achieving them．"
    Kirsten Best
    Poet & Writer
    "When things are getting hard，a voice inside my head tells me that I can't achieve something．Then，there are other distractions，such as family or hobbies．The key is to concentrate．When I feel tense，it helps a lot to repeat words such as‘calm'，‘peace'or‘focus'，either out loud or silently in my mind．It makes me feel more in control and increases my confidence．This is a habit that can become second nature quite easily and is a powerful psychological（心理的） tool"

    5．For many years there's been a debate about rewarding our children．Does it work？Is it effective？
    Some people think we should establish a standard with our kids and give them something for meeting this standard as a reward．Punishment is given out in much the same way，but it's used when certain standards of performance，behavior，etc．have not been met．Kids will often become more dutiful when threatened with punishment，and work harder when promised a valuable reward．The problem is what happens when you aren't around．
    To develop responsible，self-disciplined（自律的）kids，parents need to promote certain ideas．One of these ideas is that everyone pitches in（努力投入）and helps in your family，even if someone is not crazy about helping．Another idea is that there can be enjoyment in doing any task if we choose to make it so．When a task is for a worthy cause（our family can enjoy the house more because I helped clean it），and when parents are cheerful about their chores，this message can have a big impact．
    This is how we help our kids develop a sense of responsibility．When our children develop this responsibility，they'll be more disciplined，and they'll control their emotions better．When we give rewards to our kids，we reduce the sense of responsibility．We also create children who may temporarily（临时）perform to a certain standard，but who aren't likely to continue the performance without  the carrot  hanging in front of them．
    "Rewards and punishment can change behavior for a while，but they cannot change the person who engages in the behavior，at least in the way we want，"said AIfie Kohn，author of Punished by Rewards．"Good values have to be grown from the inside out．''Parents can help give their children a sense of shared responsibility and discipline which can last a lifetime．The real rewards that your children receive will be their readiness for the complex and demanding world that waits for them---a world that rewards those who have learned the secrets of discipline responsibility．So keep those shiny rewarding to yourself，and let your kids find their own rewards．

    66．According to the passage，when children are threatened with punishment，B．
    A．they may lose interest in their work    
    B．they may appear to be well-behaved
    C．they may change to another person     
    D．the results will be worse than usual
    67．What can we know from Paragraph 3？A
    A．Parents should promote certain ideas to help children develop．
    B．Children should be responsible for their discipline．
    C．Children should help build a good family atmosphere．
    D．No children will adapt to society without their parents'help．
    68．The underlined part"the carrot"in Paragraph 4probably refers toA．
    A．rewards    B．aims    C．apologies   D．doubts
    69．According to the passage，Alfie Kohn would agree that parents shouldD．
    A．pay no attention to the way their children do things
    B．show their children how to behave by example
    C．never punish their children
    D．help their children establish good values
    70．What's the best title for the passage？B
    A．Do You Often Reward Your Children？
    B．Should Parents Reward Their Children？
    C．When Should Parents Reward Their Children？
    D．What Can Parents Reward Their Children with？

    6．Any mistake made in the printing of a stamp raises its value to stamp collectors．A mistake on a two-penny stamp has made it worth a million and a half times its face value．
    Do you think it impossible？Well，it is true．And this is how it happened．
    The mistake was made more than a hundred years ago in the former British colony（殖民地）of Mauritius，a small island in the Indian Ocean．In l847all order for stamps was sent to London Mauritius was about to become the fourth country in the world to put out stamps．
    Before the order was filled and the stamps arrived from England，a big dance was planned by the commander-in-chief of all the armed forces on the island．The dance would be held in his house and letters of invitation would be sent to all the important people in Mauritius．Stamps were badly needed to post the letters．Therefore，an islander，who was a good printer，was told to copy the pattern of the stamps．He carelessly put the words"Post Office"instead of"Post Paid"，two words seen on stamps at that time，on the several hundred that he printed．
    Today，there are only twenty-six of these misprinted stamps left-fourteen One-penny Reds and twelve Two-penny Blues，Because there are so few Two-penny Blues and because of their age，collectors have paid as much as﹩16，800for one of them．

    3．How far would you be willing to go to satisfy your need to know？Far enough to find out your possibility of dying from a terrible disease？These days that's more than an academic question，as Tracy Smith reports in our Cover Story．
    There are now more than a thousand genetic（基因的）tests，for everything from baldness to breast cancer，and the list is growing．Question is，do you really want to know what might eventually kill you？For instance，Nobel Prize-winning scientist James Watson，one of the first people to map their entire genetic makeup，is said to have asked not to be told if he were at a higher risk for Alzheimer'（老年痴呆症）．
    "If I tell you that you have an increased risk of getting a terrible disease，that could weigh on your mind and make you anxious，through which you see the rest of your life as you wait for that disease to hit you．It could really mess you up．"Said Dr．Robert Green，a Harvard geneticist．
    "Every ache and pain，"Smith suggested，could be understood as"the beginning of the end．""That's right．If you ever worried you were at risk for Alzheimer's disease，then every time you can't find your car in the parking lot，you think the disease has started．"
    Dr．Green has been thinking about this issue for years．He led a study of people who wanted to know if they were at a higher genetic risk for Alzheimer's．It was thought that people who got bad news would，for lack of a better medical term，freak out．But Green and his team found that there was"no significant difference"between how people handled good news and possibly the worst news of their lives．In fact，most people think they can handle it．People who ask for the information usually can handle the information，good or bad，said Green．
    71．The first paragraph is meant toB．
    A．ask some questions              
    B．introduce the topic
    C．satisfy readers'curiosity         
    D．describe an academic fact
    72．Which of the following is true of James Watson？D
    A．He is strongly in favor of the present genetic tests．
    B．He is more likely to suffer from Alzheimer's disease．
    C．He believes genetic mapping can help cure any disease．
    D．He doesn't want to know his chance of getting a disease．
    73．According to Paragraphs 3 and 4，if a person is at a higher genetic risk，it isA．
    A．advisable not to let him know       
    B．impossible to hide his disease
    C．better to inform him immediately
    D．necessary to remove his anxiety
    74．The underlined part"freak out"in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to"A"．
    A．break down        B．drop out     C．leave off        D．turn away
    75．The study led by Dr．Green indicates that peopleC．
    A．prefer to hear good news    
    B．tend to find out the truth
    C．can accept some bad news    
    D．have the right to be informed．

    10．Few of us make money by losing sleep．But three graduate students at Brown University in Providence built a company around sleep deprivation （睡眠不足）．
    Jason Donahue，Ben Rubin and Eric Shashoua were working late nights in Brown's business and engineering schools．They began thinking about ways to sleep better．They discovered they weren't alone in burning the midnight oil．Around 20% of Americans get less than six hours of rest a night．
    The friends imagined a smart alarm clock that could track how much time people spend in the most restorative （有回复作用的） stages of the sleep cycle：REM （rapid eye movement） and deep sleep．What would it cost to design such a thing？Five years of research，20employees，﹩14million and a whole lot of doubting from investors and scientists．
    Their company，Zeo，based in Newton，Mass，launched its product in June，2009．The Zeo device uses a headband with tiny sensors （传感器） that scan your brain for signs of four sleep states-REM，light，deep and waking sleep．The smart alarm clock displays a graph of your sleep pattern and wakes you as you're not in REM sleep （which is when you're least groggy）．In the morning you can upload the data to the company's Web site，and so track your sleep over time．Most of the feedback comes in the form of Zeo's ZQ score showing how well you've slept．
    "Zeo allows people to unlock this black box of sleep，"says Dave Dickinson，a health-care CEO．
    Whether any of this actually improves sleep is up to the consumer，who will also need to make lifestyle changes like cutting out alcohol before bedtime or caffeine after 3pm．
    For now the company is selling Zeo online only．Dickinson also plans to spread it to countries such as Australia，where sleep deprivation approaches US levels．

    56．Who will support Zeo？B
    A．People full of imagination．        
    B．People suffering sleeping problems．
    C．People having access to the Internet． 
    D．People having bad lifestyles．
    57．Why did the three graduate students imagine a smart alarm clock？C
    A．To wake them up on time in the morning．
    B．To earn enough money for their study．
    C．To improve the quality of people's sleep．
    D．To enjoy their life while working at night．
    58．To design the Zeo device，the three graduate studentsA．
    A．spent much time and money         
    B．were widely supported by scientists
    C．worked by themselves all the time   
    D．attracted many investors
    59．What can we know from the passage？B
    A．Zeo has a direct effect on users'lifestyles．
    B．It needs more personal efforts to make Zeo function better．
    C．A large quantity of Zeo devices have been sold in Australia．
    D．Consumers can go to the Zeo company to purchase Zeo in person．

    20．Let's face it-you're going to get a lot of well-intentioned advice from friends，parents and grandparents about your sleep．Some of this advice is going to be just wrong．
    Myth 1：Sleeping late on the weekends will make up for lost sleep during the week．
    Fact：Getting less than the amount of sleep that you need night after night accumulates over time and starts to create a"sleep debt"．And like all debts，eventually you need to pay the price．The problem with waiting until the weekend to meet sleep needs is that in the meantime，you are paying the price of being less alert，feeling more moody，thinking slower and having less stimulation．
    Myth 2：A boring teacher （or warm room，full stomach，etc．） can put teens to sleep．
    Fact：If you are getting enough sleep on a regular basis，there is no teacher，math book or reading assignment in the world boring enough to make you fall asleep in class．There are basically two things that make people sleepy-not getting enough sleep and not getting good quality sleep．The environment kids are in，including the room temperature，light level and entertainment value，may unmask underlying sleepiness，but the environment does not cause it!So if you are dozing off in class，don't blame it on bad teaching．
    Myth 3：Teenagers can pull an all-nighter to study and still be ready for the big test in the morning．
    Fact：Teenagers are much better off studying less and getting a good night's sleep．Research clearly shows that the ability to concentrate and learn new information，as well as to work efficiently，declines sharply after being awake for 15-16hours，and continues to bottom out the longer you stay up．Plus，if the big test is at 8：00am，the problem gets even worse．That's because morning time typically represents a low energy point in the body's normal 24-hour circadian（生理节奏的） rhythm，especially in teenagers．

    64．According to the passage，a student who is in a sleep debtD．
    A．thinks slower but more carefully
    B．must make up for the lost sleep on the weekends
    C．will become more interested in fancying
    D．will become bad-tempered and upset
    65．According to Myth 2，which of the following is TRUE？C
    A．Students who eat a lot are sleepy at class．
    B．The warm room can make students fall asleep easily．
    C．Students'sleepiness has nothing to do with teaching．
    D．The light level may lead students to feel sleepy．
    66．If you wake up at six in the morning，when will you begin working ineffectively？A
    A．At about 9pm         B．In the early morning．
    C．At about noon．      D．In the midnight．
    67．According to the passage，at 8：00am a teenager willB．
    A．feel more energetic after a night's sleep
    B．have a poor learning result
    C．have the least desire to learn
    D．be able to think in a quick way．

    7．Forget famous goal celebration such as"The Robot"by Peter Crouch and"The Dive"by Juergen Klinsmann，here comes the South African"Diski dance"．The Diski dance，which is performed through heading and kicking an imaginary ball，may be a goal celebration to watch in the following matches．
    South Africa's Siphiwe Tshabalala and his teammates performed this different dance when they celebrated his goal against Mexico in the opening World Cup game on Friday．The dance is already popular on YouTube and many soccer fans may want to learn the moves．
    Even South Africa's President Jacob Zuma has learnt the Diski dance which could be better than Cameroon Roger Milla's corner flag dance celebration in the 1990FIFA World Cup．US actor John Travolta performed the dance shortly after landing his Boeing 707at Lanseria airport，north of Johannesburg，on Wednesday morning．

    The Robot goal celebration was so popular that England fans were surprised when Crouch，an English international footballer，said that he wouldn't be doing it any more unless England won the World Cup．
    The word Diski is the word used by the local people for soccer and may also describe the local style of football which focuses on dribbling（带球） and other tricks．

    63．Besides"Diski dance"，how many types of goal celebrations are mentioned in the passage？B
    A.2．   B.3．  C.4．  D.5．

    A．score a goal         B．win the match
    C．take a rest          D．take part in a match
    65．What do we learn about the word"Diski"？D

    B．It was used to show how people were good at dribbling．
    C．It was used to describe a football which was imagined by footballers．
    D．It was probably mainly used in South Africa before the South Africa World Cup．

    B．Goal celebrations play an important role in football games．
    C．Famous goal celebrations all appeared in the World Cup games．

    1．Keep a normal and healthy state of mind（心态）． Our schools and classes are made up of boys and girls．It is very natural for boys and girls to contact each other and build up the friendship with the students of the other sex．Generally speaking，we should broaden the circle of the association．We should make as many friends as possible．We should have more friends of the other sex instead of one or two．We should contact the students in public instead of in secret．
    2．Contact students of the other sex warmly，generously and sincerely．Don't be too nervous or too shy in contact with a person of the other sex．In that case it is very difficult for you to make a lot of friends，as no one likes a person who is too shy to say a word．If you are too shy a person，you can also find a way out．First of all，you can contact the students with the same interest and hobby with you．As both of you have much in common，you may have much to talk about．If you keep doing like that，little by little，you will gladly find you are also as free to express yourself as others．
    3．Don't fall into the ditch（泥潭）of early love．The boys and girls at adolescence（青春期）are rich in feeling and full of imagination．They are easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love and fall in love with each other at an early age．In my opinion，boys and girls at middle school are too young and too tender to shoulder the heavy duty of love．Early love is a green apple that can't be eaten．An apple won't taste sweet until it is fully ripe（成熟）．Do keep out of early love．
    61．The main idea of the passage is toB．
    A．tell students to keep away from early love
    B．give some advice on how to associate between boys and girls
    C．say contact does good not only to boys but also to girls
    D．teach boys how to talk with girls
    62．The underlined word"broaden"in the passage means"C．"
    A．close down     B．make small     C．make big    D．make known
    63．A person at adolescence is NOTB．
    A．rich in feelings         
    B．old enough to fall in love
    C．full of imagination      
    D．easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love．
    64．Which of the following is NOT true？D
    A．Men and women used not to be allowed to associate with each other．
    B．We'd better not make only one or two friends of the other sex．
    C．Some students are too nervous or too shy in contact with a person of the other sex．
    D．People like a person who always keeps silent．
    65．The passage is mostly taken from a/anB．
