Hillary Clinton, 59, with her famous “I’m in, and I’m in to win2008 Race”, began her email to supporters, saying “I want you to join me not for the campaign but for a conversation about the future of our country. Let’s talk, let’s chat.”
Mrs. Clinton said that she would focus on “practical changes” in foreign, domes tic and national security policy, such as finding “a right end” to the Iraq war, expanding health insurance, pursuing greater energy independence and strengthening Social Security and Medi-care, which satisfies many American people.
In her statement, Mrs. Clinton also frankly talked about an issue that worries her a lot. Whether she can, in fact, win the presidency, some voters still associate her most with the Clinton government.
“I have never been afraid to stand up for my beliefs,” Mrs. Clinton said on the Website. “After nearly $70 million spent against my campaigns in New York and two wins, I can say I know how Republicans think, how they operate, and how to beat them.”
If successful, she would be the first female nominee (被提名人) of a major American political party, and the first wife of a former president to seek a return to the White House. President Bill Clinton left office in 2000 after two terms marked by economic expansion and a series of official examination of his personal life and the Clinto ns’ business dealings. But the success and shadows of those years will likely affect Mrs. Clinton, who was once an important adviser and caused some disagreements in his government.
Yet Mrs. Clinton has become a major political figure in America.
71. By saying “I’m in to win”, Hillary probably means that ____________.
A. she is online to get people’s support to run for presidency
B. she is going to run for election and work hard to win
C. she is online to get more support and she’s sure she’ll w in
D. she has decided to run for president and work hard to win
72. It can be inferred from the passage that ____________.
A. Clinton left office only because of his personal life
B. Hillary was once deeply involved in her husband’s government
C. all her voters strongly support her and believe in her
D. the whole election campaign costs Hillary nearly $ 70 million
73. What many American people are deeply concerned about is _____________.
A. how to solve the energy problem
B. when and how to find a proper solution to the Iraq war
C. what practical things Hillary will do for them
D. how to strengthen Social Security and Medicare
74. The author’s attitude towards Hillary is _______________.

Is Organic Farming the Way to Protect the Planet?
In the Western world there is a debate about the value and effectiveness of organic farming. It is generally believed that farms that rely on chemical fertilizers and pesticides are more efficient. But is this true? At first sight it seems that it is. Studies in Britain, America and Australia have shown that concentrated modern farming methods produce as much as 40% more than the more traditional methods that severed mankind well for thousands of years.
However, if you look at the evidence another way, new studies are beginning to show another picture. This new research argues that organic farms actually expand the amount grown each year. This is because the research looks at the quality of the soil as well as the crops grown. They argue that we must reduce fertilizers and pesticides as they damage the soil and increase pollution. A spokesman said, “Organic farming makes the soil more fertile and prevents the soil from being carried away by wind or water, while conventional methods have the opposite effect… Only if we change to organic farming methods will we be able to continues to increase the amount of crops grown.
This advantage of organic farming increased when you examine the farmers’ costs. Organic methods may produce smaller crops. However, they don’t need expensive chemicals. If farmers also use natural pest controls and improve their growing techniques, it will eventually give organic farmers an economic advantage.
So Western farmers are listening to this advice and more and more are turning to organic farming. Hopefully these ideas will also convince some farmers in developing countries that their best interests lie in organic farming also. Maybe then farming will become the profitable occupation that was always meant to be!
75. The main purpose of this text is ___________________.
A. to tell readers that there is a debate in the Western world
B. to explain how chemical fertilizers and pesticides cause pollution
C. to show farmers how to reduce the cost of farming
D. to make it known that organic farming is actually more efficient

A. the output is about 40% more than traditional methods
B. crops grow much faster than using traditional methods
C. farmers don’t have to do as much work as they used to
D. the cost of arming is lower than with traditional methods
77. Some farmers in developing countries ________________.
A. need to turn to Western farmers if they want to increase their output.
B. don’t think organic farming will bring them more money.
C. have been getting smaller crops because of chemical fertilizers.
D. should improve their growing techniques before becoming organic farmers.

A lot of us lose life’s tough battles by starting a frontal attack---when a touch of humor might well enable us to win. Consider the case of a young friend of mine, who
was trapped in a traffic jam on his way to work shortly after receiving a warning about being late for the job. Although there was a good reason for Sam’s being late---serious illness at home---he decided that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldn’t work any longer. His boss was probably already pacing up and down preparing a dismissal(免职) speech.
Yes, the boss was. Sam entered the office at 9:35. The place was as quiet as a locker room; everyone was hard at work. Sam’s boss came up to him. Suddenly, Sam smiled and stretched out his hand. “How do you do!” he said. “I’m Sam Maynard. I’m applying for a job, which, I understand, became available just 35 minutes ago. Does the early bird get the worm?”
The room exploded in laughter. The boss clamped off a smile and walked back to his office. Sam Maynard had saved his job---with the only tool that could win, a laugh.
Humor is a most effective, yet frequently neglected, means of handing the difficult situations in our lives. It can be used for patching up (修补) differences, apologizing, say ing “no”, criticizing, getting the other fellow to do what you want without his losing face. For some jobs, it’s the only tool that can succeed. It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialogue may start a quarrel. For example, many believe that comedians on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerance than people in any other field.
78. The main idea of this text is __________________.
A. early bird gets the worm
B. Sam Maynard saved his job with humor
C. humor is important in our lives
D. humor can solve racial discriminations (歧视)
79. Why was Sam late for his job?
A. He was ill.
B. He got up late.
C. He was busy applying for a new job
D. He was caught in a traffic jam.
80. The underlined phrase “clamped off” in the third paragraph probably mean ________.
A. tried to hold back
B. tried to set up
C. charged
D. gave out
81. Which of the following statements can we infer from the text?
A. Sam was supposed to come to his office at 8:30.
B. It wasn’t the first time that Sam came late for his work.
C. Humor is the most effective way of solving problems.
D. Many lose life’s battles for they are lacking in a sense of humor.
D
People are afraid of confronting (对抗冲突) another person because they will meet with such a situation where they have very little control over what will happen. So people remain silent. They hope the problem will go away. However, the silent treatment makes it worse with their resentment building like a saving account that collects interest daily until it bursts into am unnecessary fight.
Most folks aren’t very skilled in what they say, either. They may start with something like, “You make me angry,” implying it’s your fault. In return, you feel threatened, and when that happens, you react like the forest creatures and possibly take defensive action.
So, you need to know how to deal with conflict to feel confident about confronti ng someone. When someone is doing something that’s upsetting you, first, determine the source of the conflict for you, says Ursiny, author of the Coward’s Guide to Conflict. “Is it what they did, the way they did it, a difference in personality or poor com munication?”
Then make sure that you will act by taking the other into account. Your purpose is to inform, not to attack. Preserve a relationship while getting your point across. Do that soon after the incident (unless you need time to cool off ) by:
1. Focusing on the specific behavior: “You arrived 10 minutes late to our meeting.” ---not, “You are unreliable.”
2. State how that made you feel: “I was angry.”
3. State the consequences: We couldn’t start because you had the data we needed.”
People will be more open if you carefully introduce your comments. In the situation with my client, I suggested she start with, “I want to have a good working relationship. This isn’t easy to bring up, but…” Most people will appreciate your sincerity.
Instead of just focusing on what you are afraid will happen, consider the good that could occur, and your conversation just could lead to a better relationship than you had before.
82. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. How to Mend a Troubled Friendship.
B. How to Take the Lead in the Difficult Situation.
C. How to Deal With Conflict.
D. How to Introduce Your Comments.
83. The underlined word “resentment” in paragraph 1 refers to ____________.
A. silence
B. fear
C. worry
D. anger
84. What should we do to deal with conflict according to paragraph 4?
A. Get your point across by taking the other into account.
B. Consider the good that could take place.
C. Think over the source of the conflict.
D. Stick to our own point of view.
85. We can learn from the passage that ______________.
A. poor communication can lead to a worse situation
B. getting your point across will make you work in a good mood.
C. remaining silent in a troubled situation is a way to deal with conflict.
D. people will appreciate your sincerity by your pointing out others’ mistakes directly.

One day, a customer (顾客) did not like the French fries. He said they were cut too thick. That day Crum was in a bad mood, so he cut the potatoes really, really thin and he cooked them for a long time until they were very crispy (酥脆的). He wanted to make the customer dislike them. But the customer loved them very much and asked for more. Other people wanted Crum’s potato chips. Now, there was a new food on the menu—Saratoga chips. Soon Crum opened his own restaurant and made his special chips. It took a long time to make potato chips. People peeled the potatoes by hand. Then in 1920, the automatic (自动的) potato peeler changed everything. Now it was faster and easier to make potato chips. Now potato chips were not a specialty. They were a popular snack food, but only in the north. A salesman named Herman Lay wanted to sell potato chips in the south. He sold potato chips in bags. His business grew. Today, Americans eat a lot of potato chips every day. 阅读短文, 判断正（T）误（F）。 （）46. At first the French fries were very thin. （）47.
