　　　 A person, like a commodity(商品),needs packaging. But going too far is absolutely undesirable. A little exaggeration(夸张)，however, does no harm when it shows the person’s unique qualities to their advantages. To show personal attractiveness in a casual and natural way, it is important for one to have a clear knowledge of oneself. A skilled packager knows how to add art to nature without any signs of embellishment(装饰),so that the person so packaged is not a commodity but a human being, lively and lovely.

　　　 A young person, especially a female, shining with beauty and full of life, has all the favor granted by God. Any attempt to make up would be self-defeating. Youth, however, comes and goes in a flash. Packaging for the middle-aged is primarily to hide the marks made by years. If you still enjoy life enough to keep self-confidence and work at pioneering work, you are unique in your natural qualities, and your attractiveness and grace will remain. Elderly people are beautiful if their river of life has been, through plains, mountains and jungles, running its course as it should. You have really lived your life, which now arrives at a self-satisfied stage of quietness and calmness with no interest in fame or wealth. There is no need to make use of hair dyeing(染色)The snow-capped mountain is itself a beautiful scene of fairyland. Let your looks change from young to old in step with natural ageing process so as to keep in harmony(和谐)with nature, for harmony itself is beauty, while the other way round will only end in unpleasantness. To be in the elder’s company is like reading a thick book of deluxe (better quality)edition that attracts one so much as to be unwilling to part with.

　　　 As long as one finds where one stands, one knows how to package oneself, just as a commodity sets up its brand by the right packaging.

72．It can be concluded from the text that　　　 .

　　　 A．people should be packed at all ages.

　　　 B．people should be packed in a special way

　　　 C．elderly people also care about packing

　　　 A．dye your hair　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B．make up at a young age

　　　 C．follow the ageing process　　　　　　　　 D．give up fame and wealth

74．For the middle-aged, attractiveness　　　 .

　　　 A．hardly exists　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B．is the strongest

　　　 C．comes from the inside　　　　　　　　　　 D．comes form the appearance

　　　 There are three branches of medicine. One is called“doctor medicine,”or“scientific medicine.”Scientific doctors try to observe sicknesses, look for logical patterns, and then find out how the human body works. From there they figure out what treatments may work. This kind of medicine is believed to date from the 4th century BC. Although nowadays it is successful, in the ancient world this approach(method)probably did not cure many patients.

　　　 A second kind of medicine is called“natural cures,”or “folk medicine,”in which less educated people try to cure sicknesses with various herbs(中草药). These folk healers also use observation and logic, but they are not so aware of it. They try things until they find something that seems to work, and then they keep doing that. Folk medicine flourished (became popular)long before the development of scientific medicine and was more successful in ancient times than doctor medicine.

　　　 The third kind is called“health spas, ”or“faith healing.”Sometimes this may be as simple as touching the holy man and being immediately healed. Other times, a magician may make you a magic charm, or say a spell, to cure you. Some religious groups organize special healing shrines for the sick. In these places people rest, get plenty of sleep, eat healthy food, drink water instead of wine, and exercise in various ways. They also talk to the priests and pray to the gods. If you are feeling depressed(sad)or you have been working too hard, going to these places may be just the right thing to make you feel better.

　　　 Rick Stevenson, 16 years old, spends every minute he can on the mountain. He and his friends go snowboarding every weekend.“It’s great,”he says,“The winds are so strong, the boards go 50 miles an hour.”His friend Laura Fields agrees.“No one goes skiing any more,”she says,“That’s for the old folks.”

　　　 Rick and Laura are part of a new trend in sports. Its philosophy(purpose)is to get as close to the edge as possible. And more and more young athletes are taking part in these risky(adventurous)activities called“extreme sports”or “X-Sports”.

　　　 In the past, young athletes would play baseball. Today, they want risk and excitement-the closer to the edge, the better. They snowboard over cliffs and mountain-bike down steep mountains. They wind-surf near hurricanes and bungy-jump from towers.

　　　 Extreme sports started as an alternative(选择余地)to more expensive sports such as golf. A city kid who didn’t have the money to buy expensive sports equipment could get a skateboard and have fun. But now it has become a whole new area of sports, with specialized equipment and high levels of skill. There’s even a special Olympics for extreme sports, called the Winter X-Games, which includes snow mountain biking and ice climbing.

　　　 What makes extreme sports so popular?“People love the risk,”says Murray Nussbaum, who sells sports equipment.“City people want to be outdoors on the weekend and do something challenging. The new equipment is so much better that people can take more risks without getting hurt”.An athlete adds,“Sure there’s a risk. Once you go mountain biking or snowboarding, it’s impossible to go back to bike riding or skiing. It ‘s just too boring.”

　　　 Now even the older crowd is starting to join in. Every weekend groups of friends in their early thirties get together. During the week they work as computer programmers in the same office. On Sundays they rent mountain bikes that cost $ 2,000 each and ride down steep mountains together.

　　　 Extreme sports are certainly not for everyone. Most people still prefer to play basketball or watch sports on TV. But extreme sports are definitely gaining in popularity.“These sports are fresh and exciting. It’s the wave of the future.”says Nussbaum.

64．Which of the four pictures does not describe extreme sports?

65．Generally speaking,　　　 are unfit for extreme sports by inference from the text.

　　　 A．high school students　　　　　　　　　　　 B．the aged people

　　　 C．office workers　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D．city teenagers

66．It is clear from the text that extreme sports are　　　 .

　　　 A．exciting but risky　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B．expensive but challenging

　　　 C．special but dangerous　　　　　　　　　　　 D．popular but a little old

67．What would be the best title for the text?

　　　 A．Rick Stevenson’s Hobby.　　　　　　　　 B．The Wave of the Future.

　　　 C．X-Sports.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D．People’s Love for Risk.

　　　 “Business is war.” The traditional language of business certainly makes it sound that way: winning the competition, getting market share, beating up suppliers, locking up customers. There are the victors and the losers.

　　　 But today in doing business, you have to listen to stomers, work with suppliers, keep good relations-even with competitors. That doesn’t sound like war. Besides, there are few victors when business is looked upon as war.

　　　 Most businesses succeed only if others also succeed. Business is competition and cooperation as well. In other words, business is war and peace.

　　　 To bring together competition and cooperation, we turn to game theory. Game theory provides that whether one person wins or loses depends on what other people do. It is particularly effective when there are many interdependent(相互依存的)factors and no decision can be made in isolation(孤立)from other decisions.

　　　 Game theory breaks down the game into key elements(要素):players, added values, rules, tactics(计谋), and scope(范围)(PARTS).Every element affects the result of the game. This means that each of the five elements gives you a way to change an existing game into entirely new one. Change one of the PARTS, and you change the whole.

　　　 Why change the game? An old Chinese saying explains: If you continue on the course you’re heading, that’s where you’ll end up. Sometimes that’s good, sometimes not. You can play the game very well, and still suffer great loss. That’s because you’re playing the wrong game: you need to change it. Even a good game can be made into a better one. Real success comes from actively shaping the game you play-from making the game you want, not taking the game you find.

60．The author of this passage is _______ the idea that “Business is war.”

　　　 A．considering 　　 B．in favor of　　　　 C．against　　　　　　　 D．doubtful of

61． “PARTS” stands for _______.

　　　 A．the parties in a game

　　　 B．players, added values, rules, tactics and scope

　　　 C．all of the elements in the game theory

　　　 D．the parts that affect the result of the game

62．The correct understanding of the underlined sentence in the last paragraph is _______.

　　　 A．you play the game too well to suffer great loss

　　　 B．you are really good at playing the game, but you still lose it out

　　　 C．you are so competitive that you beat up all of your competitors terribly

　　　 D．the competition is so hard that you have to put all your heart into it

63．The author emphasizes that _______.

　　　 A．we shall play in the right direction

　　　 B．we shall play very hard

　　　 C．we shall continue in the course we are heading

　　　 D．we shall always change no matter the change is good or not

(A)

　　　 Anxiety is the appropriate(适当的)emotion when the immediate personal terror-of a volcano, an arrow, a stab(刺伤)in the back and other disasters, all directed against one’s self-disappears.

　　　 The kind of world that produces anxiety is actually a world of relative safety, a world in which no one feels that he himself is facing sudden death. The anxiety exists as an uneasy state of mind, in which one has a feeling that something unspecified(不具体的)and indeterminable may go wrong. If the world seems to be going well, this produces anxiety-for good times may end. If the world is going badly-it may get worse. Anxiety tends to be without focus; the anxious person doesn’ t know whether to blame himself or other people. He isn’t sure whether it is the current year of the administration or a change in climate or the atom bomb that is to blame for this undefined sense of unease.

　　　 It is clear that we have developed a society which depends on having the right amount of anxiety to make it work…While we agree that too much anxiety is harmful to mental health, we have come to rely on anxiety to push us into seeing a doctor about a symptom(症状)which may indicate cancer, into checking up on that old life-insurance policy which may have out-of-date provisions in it, into having a conference with Billy’s teacher even though his report card looks all right.

　　　 People who are anxious enough keep their car insurance up, have the brakes checked, don’t take a second drink when they have to drive. People who are too anxious either refuse to go into cars at all-and so complicate the ordinary course of life-or drive so tensely and carefully that they help cause accidents. People who aren’t anxious enough take chance after chance, which increases the terrible accidents of the roads.

56．According to the author, anxiety is the emotion when　　　 .

　　　 A．one is filled with a sudden sense of uneasiness

　　　 B．one sees no immediate danger

　　　 C．one has a vague sense about his life

　　　 D．one feels that the world may go badly

57．The author holds that　　　 .

　　　 A．anxiety is a good thing

　　　 B．anxiety is a symptom of mental illness

　　　 C．some anxiety can lead to changes for the better

　　　 D．no anxiety is bad for society

58．According to the author, accidents of the road tend to be caused by　　 .

　　　 A．all those who are too anxious　　　　　 B．all those who have anxiety

　　　 C．those who have no anxiety　　　　　　　 D．those who are not anxious enough

59．The best title for the passage would be　　 .

　　　 A．One Man’s Thought about Anxiety　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B．The Right Amount of Anxiety

　　　 C．Anxiety versus Safety　　　　　　　　　　 D．Different Attitudes to Anxiety
