Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some kinds - football, hockey (曲棍球), golf, or tennis. It may be mountaineering.

80. ______________

Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.

81. ______________

Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.

82. _____________

If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.

83. ______________

The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.

84. ______________

A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is no unusual for a man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.

We believe that there is more to education than preparation for a job. Children must be prepared for all aspects of their adult life work，leisure，personal relationships，creative activities，dealing with money matters, independence, parenthood.　

Nevertheless, it would unrealistic to provide an education which took no account of(考虑) the needs of employers.

　　 What type of training does the business world regard as important?

　　 Many young people applying for jobs were, in the employers' opinions, very weak in the basic skills of handwriting, grammar and spelling. Though additional education at university level improved the student's general ability, a report states, “In basic skills the standards remained stubbornly(顽固地) low.”

　　 It is doubtful whether standards have declined in recent years. What is certain is that employers do not believe the standard is now high enough. Do technological changes make greater demands upon the students' abilities?

　　 We should also remember that the job expectations of young people have increased. The girls who would have once become shop assistants or hairdressers now want to be secretaries. Boys who sought an apprenticeship(学徒) 20 years ago now desire to an engineering degree. But it is still the same girls and boys with the same degree of ability. No wonder there are problems in reaching the “necessary standards” of the business world.

Many employers believed that it was important for teachers to have experience outside the world of college and school. They should work for a while at some other kind of job “to see how the world of business and commerce differs from their own.” The teaching profession and society in general needed a greater understanding of manpower needs and therefore of “the desired” direction of the education system.

76. The article mainly talks about 　　　　.

A. no education among young people

B. meeting the educational requirements of employment

C. the problem of unemployment　

D. the weaker standards of education

77. In the writer's opinion, education should ________.

A. pay more attention to students' academic(学术的) ability

B. only meet the needs of employment

C. be suitable to all aspects of being an adult, including employment

D. focus on grammar

78. “The same girls and boys” in Para.6 refer to _______.

A. those who are likely to be unemployed

B. those who have just left middle school

C. those who are looking for jobs far beyond their abilities

D. those who might have become shop assistants, hairdressers and apprentices in the past

79. It's suggested that teachers should ________.

A. never change their jobs　　　 B. spend more time on their school work

C. improve their teaching methods D. get some work experience outside school

(C)

Are you always sure you know what people mean when they try to describe their feelings to you? We use both words and gestures to express our feelings, but problem is that these words and gestures can be interpreted in different ways.

It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language. So does laughter or crying. There are also number of striking similarities in the way different animals show the same feeling. Dogs, tigers and humans, for example, often show their teeth when they are angry. This is probably because such behavior patterns are inherited rather than learned.

Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world. In Chinese and in English fiction, a phrase like "he went pale and began to tremble" suggests that the man is either very much afraid or has just had a very nasty shock. However, "he opened his eyes wide" is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it conveys surprise. In Chinese, surprise can be described in a phrase like "they stretched out their tongues". Sticking out your tongue in English is an insulting gesture or expresses disgust.

Even in the same culture, people differ in their ability to interpret and express feelings. Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear, anger, love and happiness in people's faces. Disgust, contempt and suffering seem to be the most difficult emotions for people everywhere either to recognize or to express. Other studies have shown that older people usually find it easier to interpret body language than younger people do. And psychologists such as E.G. Beier have also shown that some people frequently give completely the wrong impression of how they feel. For instance, they try to show affection but in fact actually communicate dislike. Or when they want to show interest, they give the impression that they don't care. This can happen even among close friends and members of the same family. In other words, what we think we are communicating through language, voice, face and body movements may be the exact opposite of what other people understood.

72. According to the passage, which of the following emotions is shown similarly in all cultures?

A. Affection.　　　　　 B. Fear.　　　　　　　　 C. Contempt.　 D. Disgust.

73. People sometimes misunderstand each other because _____.

74. People sometimes express the opposite of the emotions they are trying to communicate, which may happen among _____.

A. people of different cultures　　　　　　　 B. people of the same culture

C. close friends and family members　　 D. all of the above

75. Which of the following statement is NOT TRUE?

A. People in the same culture express their feelings in the same way.

B. People sometimes give completely the wrong impression of how they feel.

C. Women are better than men at recognizing certain emotions.

Penguins are among Nature's most endearing(可爱的) creatures and, for a bird that is not able to fly, the penguin has had a very successful career. It has become adapted to life at sea, coming ashore only to breed. Penguins like to live in large numbers. The first men to see penguins found it difficult to classify them, although their interest was only as food. Were they animals or birds? In fact, the penguin is a swimming and diving bird which lost the power of flight early in its evolution. On land, penguin sits upright on large webbed(有蹼的) feet and walk across the ice, but it swims excellently, it rigid(僵硬的) wings being changed for swimming.

Well known among the smaller species of penguin is the black-footed penguin. The larger species are the king penguin and the emperor penguin. The penguin population is so large that there is no immediate danger of the bird becoming extinct. On the other hand, the poisonous chemical things of the civilized world's industries reach even the faraway Antarctic Ocean and worsen the wildlife of Antarctica's coastal areas; they do harm to the whales and the seals as well as the penguins.

To the human observer, penguins always seem to be in party mood. Indeed, it is difficult to be solemn(庄严的) about them; their gesture and behaviour are representation of man. A zoologist, however, sees them as ideal field laboratory subjects, living as they do in an environment in which relatively few other creatures live.

"I would like to get married and have children, "says Mary Ott. "But I expect to make sacrifices(牺牲) in my career. It's going to be difficult."

Ott has just finished college and plans to go to medical school.

William Lynch has also just graduated and started working. "1 certainly want a family," he said. "But I don't see how raising kids would interfere with my career.

Ott and Lynch disagree on their visions(views) of family and work life. Such split views(分歧) are common among today's young men and women.
