After years of study, I have known there are only two types of people in this world: those who get to the airport early and those who arrive when the plane is about to take off.

If there were any justice（公正）in this world, early-airport people would be rewarded for doing the right thing. And late-airport people would be punished. But early-airport people get ulcers（溃疡）, heart attacks and bite their fingernails to the bone. Late-airport people almost don’t realize they are flying.

A guy of that kind once said, “Don’t hurry. If you miss your flight, it’s because God doesn’t want you to go.” This is clearly a guy who is never going to get an ulcer.

Early-airport people suffer another “name”. They are called exactly what they are -wimps（窝囊废）. I know. I was an early-airport person for years. “My baggage will get on the plane first,” I told myself. Indeed it would, which made it the last baggage they took off the plane after landing.

Another strange thing: No matter how early I showed up, I was always told that someone had called two or three years ahead of me and asked for the best seat. I thought it was a trick. I thought there was someone in America who called every airline every day and said: “Is that wimp Simon flying somewhere today? If he is , give me his seat.”

After a lifetime arguing with my wife over whether I really have to pack 24 hours in advance and set the alarm clock four hours ahead, I have learned another fact about early-airport people and late –airport people:

They always marry each other.

67. We can learn from the passage that     .

A. late-airport persons are often nervous

B. early-airport persons are always at ease during the flight

C. early-airport persons get their baggage first after the landing

D. late-airport persons always take things easy

68. Paragraph 5 mainly wants to tell us that      .

    A. someone always plays tricks on the writer

    B. the airlines usually fool passengers

C. early-airport persons always can’t get good seats

D. the service of airlines is very bad

A. give readers tips about taking a plane

B. offer suggestions about having a good plane trip

C. express the writer’s anxiety about taking a plane

D. show people’s different attitudes toward catching planes

第二节  读写任务(共l小题，满分25分)

    阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文

It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. Trevor, my husband, parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.

   The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family.

   I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.

   People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity（人性）as a whole. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.

Why is setting goals important? Because goals can help you do and experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow yourself to make your life happen.

Successful and happy people have a vision of how their life should be and they set lots of goals to help them reach their vision. By setting goals you are taking control of your life. It’s like having a map to show you where you want to go. Think of it this way. There are two drivers. One has a destination in mind which is laid out for her on a map. She can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turns. The other driver has no goal or destination or map. She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver, just using up gas and oil. Which driver do you want to be?

 Winners in life set goals and follow through on them. Winners decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals. Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren’t difficult to set, and they aren’t difficult to reach. It’s up to you to find out what your goals, ideals and visions really are. You are the one who must decide what to pursue and in what direction to aim your life.

Research tells us when we write a goal down, we are more likely to achieve it. Written goals can be reviewed regularly, and have more power. Like a contract with yourself, they are harder to neglect or forget.

Also when you write your goals in a particular fashion, you are able to stimulate yourself to be continuously alert to situations that will further your goals. 

The example of the two drivers is given to show_____________.

A. the importance of having a map and right direction  

B. the significance of setting goals

C. the foolishness of the second driver     

D. the foolishness of the first driver

If people want to reach their goals, they should _______________.

A. note down their goals            B. discuss with others and ask for their help

C. face the difficulties in front of them D. sign a contract with other people

What is the main idea of this passage?

A. Failure always accompanies the people who gives up easily.

B. Whenever you set goals, you will succeed.

C. Winners never stop their efforts for success.

D. Success is possible only when a person has set his or her goal clearly.

I was ten when I first sat with my grandmother behind the cashier（收银台）in her general store.    71    I quickly learned the importance of treating customers politely and saying “thank you.”

At first I was paid in candy.      72     I worked every day after school, and during the summer and on weekends and holidays from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. My father helped me set up a bank account.    73 

By the time I was 12, My grandmother thought I had done such a good job that the promoted me to selling cosmetics（化妆品）. I developed the ability to look customers directly in the eye.

The job taught me a valuable lesson: to be a successful salesperson, you didn’t need to be a Rocket scientist—you needed to be a great listener. _ 75__ expect they are NO longer women purchasing cosmetics (        ) from me; instead, they are kids who tell me which toys they would like to see designed and developed.
