There are many good things about 39 in the Third World. Take the close and constant relation between children and their parents, relatives and neighbors for example. In the West, the very nature of work puts distance between 40 and children. But in most Third World villages mother and father do not go miles away each day to work in offices. 41 , the child sees mother and father, relations and neighbors working 42 and often shares in that work. A child 43 in this way learns his or her role through joining in the community?s 44 : helping to dig or build, look after animals or babies— rather than 45 playing with water and sand in kindergarten ,keeping pets 46 playing with dolls.
These children may grow up with a less oppressive sense of space and time than the 47 children. Their sense of days and time has a lot to do with the change of seasons and positions of the sun or the moon in the sky. Children in the rich world 48 , are provided with a watch as one of the 49 signs of growing up, so that they can 50 along with their parents about being late for school times, meal times, bed times, the times of TV shows...
Third World children do not usually 51 to stay indoors, still less in high-rise apartments. Instead of dangerous roads, “keep off the grass”signs and “don?t speak to strangers”, there is often a sense of 52 to study and play. Parents can see their c hildren outside rather than observe them 53 from ten floors up.

第三部分：阅读理解（共20 小题；每小题3 分，共60 分）
第一节，阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。（共15 题；每小题3 分，共45 分）
A
When it comes to intelligence, human beings are the top dogs of the animal kingdom. But in recent years, scientists have been documenting surprising intellig ence and emotional depth in animals ranging from honeybees to elephants. Here are some amazing examples.
Artistic Monkey Business
Janet Schmid, director of the Little River Zoo in Norman, Oklahoma, learned a lot about the intelligence of capuchin monkeys. She and her husband adopted a young male, named Bailey. The capuchin particularly liked taking car rides, insisting that he insert the key and ride in the front passenger's seat. Now Bailey has become a devoted painter. He uses brushes to create colorful, abstract paintings, and prefers not to be disturbed.
Prairie Dog Sound
Through a variety of birdlike sounds, prairie dogs warn each other of approaching creatures. They demonstrate a surprisingly complex communication system. In his 25 years of study, Slobodchikoff, a professor of biology, has recorded them pronouncing ten nouns including hawk, deer and coyote, a number of adjectives to identify color, size and shape, and even some verbs to indicate speed.
In an ongoing study, Slobodchikoff learns that their brain contains a very extensive vocabulary. He once used his best prairie dog sound to say coyote, and they just looked at him in anger as if he had said a bad word.
Ivy League Parrot
One African grey parrot Alex is said to have the cognitive abil i ties of a five-year-old child. Alex can identify 50 different objects, seven colors, five shapes, quantities up to six, and the concepts of bigger, smaller, same and different.
Also Alex is considered to make reasoned decisions. During an experiment, re searchers gave Alex different-colored blocks in sets of two, three and six. When asked which color group had five blocks, Alex replied, “None. ”An d he answered the same in repeated tests. Obviously, he interpreted the concept of “n one”as an absence of quantity all on his own. That?s a lot like a high school student answering questions on a quiz show.
56．Which of the following is true?
A．Bailey is as clever as a child of five. B．The prairie dog loves taking car rides.
C．The capuchin monkey is fond of painting. D．Alex develops a communication system. 57．The underlined word “c oyote”in Paragraph 4 refers to .
A．a verb B．an animal C．a warning D．an adjective
58．What is the passage mainly about?
A．Animal communication．B．Animal research．
C．Animal intelligence．D．Animal information．
B
The woman?s college had a very small car -park, and as several of the teachers and students, and many of the students?b oy-friends, had cars, it was often difficult to find a place to park. The head of the college, whose name was Baker, therefore had a special place in the car-park for her own car. There were w hite lines round it, and it had a notice saying, “R eserved for Head of College.”One evening, however, when Miss Baker got back to the college a few minutes before the time by which all students had to be in, she found another car in her parking place. There were two people in it, one of her girl-students and a young man. Miss Baker knew that the young man would have to leave very soon, so she decided to ask him to move his car a bit, so that she could park hers in the proper place for the night before going to bed.
As the young man?s car was close to the railings(围栏), Miss Baker had to drive up beside it on the other side, opened her own window and tapped her horn lightly to draw attention to the fact that she was there. The girl, who had her head on the boy?s shoulder, looked around in surprise. She was even more surprised when she heard Miss Baker say, “Excuse me, but may I change places with you?”
59．“Reserved”in the first paragraph means ．
A．forbidden B．kept for special use C．hired D．bought
60．Why would the young man have to leave very soon?
A．Because boys aren?t allowed to enter the college．
B．Because Miss Baker, the headmaster, would order him to leave．
C．Because it was just a little time before the time by which all students had to be in．
D．Because the boy?s car stood in the way so that other cars couldn?t pass
61．What did Miss Baker really mean by saying “Excuse me, but may I change places with you?”
A．She wanted to take the place of the girl
B．She wanted to park her car in her usual place
C．She wanted to play a joke on the girl student
D．She wanted to give the girl student a surprise
62．Which of the following is NOT true ?
A．The girl misunderstood what miss Baker
said ．B．The young man was the girl?s boy-
friend．C．There was a small car -park in the
college．
D．The girl noticed her headmaster and felt greatly surprised．

“Image is everything.” An entire industry has been built upon the precondition that image is everything, but when it comes down to it, an appealing image is not enough. If there is no substance behind the image, the product, service or person will fail at length.
First of all, one should consider how important image is in the selling of products and services. Advertising agencies have raised the art of creating an image to a state of near perfection. Public concept of that product o r service is certainly managed by the images created by the advertising agencies. But if the product or service does not live up to the image that was created, the customer will be very dissatisfied and possibly ask for their money back. For example , the Arthur Andersen accounting firm had spent decades building up an image of trustworthiness. But the recent scandal (丑闻) showed that behind that image, it had dishonest business practices. Despite the previous positive image, the firm is being accused of criminal actions and it will probably not survive as a business unit. Although the image had been nearly perfect, the reality behind the image has led to the downfall of the world famous accounting firm.
Similarly, personal consultants can build up a public image for politicians and movie stars. Putting out positive news releases, making sure that only the best photographs are published, and ensuring that the person is seen in all the right places can build up a very positive image in the view of the general commons. But once again, history is filled with examples of both politicians and movie stars that fell from grace (体面) like the story of the Hollywood actor giving in to the pressures of fame and fortune. With people, just as with products and services, i m age is certainly important, but without positive substance behind the image, failure is close.
To summarize, it is clear that an appealing image is extremely important to success, whether that image is related to selling a product or service or to the " selling" of a person. But image is only half of the equation. What lies behind that image is every bit as important as the image itself—the person or product must deliver on that image or there is little chance for long-term success.
67．The downfall of the Arthur Andersen accounting firm is due to .
A．its dishonesty in business B．its previous images
C．its bad management D．its poor service
68．Why did some famous people fall from grace?

B．They failed to live up to their images.
C．They felt much pressure from the public.
D．They paid little attention to fame and fortune.

70．The author tries to argue that .
A．image creates everything B．image
is the key to success C．truth goes
hand in hand with image
D．truth and image are equally important

There is an English saying: “Laughter is the best medic ine.” 71 Now, however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found that laughter really can improve people?s health.
Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched the funny films while doctors checked their heart, blood pressure, breathing and muscles.
72 It increases blood pressure, the heart beating and breathing; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.
73 In one experiment, doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programmes. The group that tolerated (忍受) the pain for the longest time was the groups which listened to a f u nny programme. 74
As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they help to improve their patients?condition by encouraging them to laugh. 75 They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.
A. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which diminish（减少）both stress and pain.
B. Until recently, few people took the saying seriously.
C. Laughter and physical exercise have similar effects on the human body.
D. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise.
E. It does make a difference.
F. Laughter could produce a kind of chemical.
G. Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body.

While their contributions are certainly valuable, other amazing inventions were actually created by children! The trampoline Trampolines are great for both fun and exercise, but they are a fairly recent invention. In the 1930s, George Nissen was inspired to make a bouncy “net” after seeing a circus performance. He thought it more entertaining for performers to continue bouncing instead of landing in a net. So, at the age of 16, he made it by stretching thick cloth in a metal frame. The Popsicle Cold weather led to the creation of a delicious invention —the Popsicle. Frank Epperson was just 11 years old when he accidentally created his first Popsicle. He was making himself a soda drink and left his glass outside overnight. When he found it in the morning, it had frozen solid with the stir(搅拌) stick still in the glass. And the first Popsicle was born. Braille Three-year-old Louis Braille experienced a serious eye injury that blinded him in both eyes. He struggled to read by moving his fingers across raised letters, but that proved very difficult. At the age of twelve, Louis learned about a communication system where messages could be read silently with fingertips. He changed it and created Braille. It’s now used around the world!

As a manager, Tiffany is responsible for interviewing applicants for some of the positions with her company .During one interview, she noticed that the candidate never made direct eye contact. She was puzzled and somewhat disappointed because she liked the individual otherwise. He had a perfect resume and gave good responses to her questions, but the fact that he never looked her in the eye said “untrustworthy,” so she decided to offer the job to her second choice. “It wasn’t until I attended a diversity workshop that I realized the person we passed over was the perfect person,” Tiffany confesses. What she hadn’t known at the time of the interview was that the candidate’s “different” behavior was simply a cultural misunderstanding . He was an Asian-American raised in a household where respect for those in authority was shown by averting(避开) your eyes. “I was just thrown off by the lack of ye contact; not realizing it was cultural,” Tiffany says. “I missed out ,but will not miss that opportunity again.” Many of us have had similar encounters with behaviors we perceive as different. As the world becomes smaller and our workplaces more diverse, it is becoming essential to expand our under-standing of others and to reexamine some of our false assumptions . Hire Advantage At a time when hiring qualified people is becoming more difficult ,employers who can eliminate invalid biases(偏爱) from the process have a distinct advantage .My company, Mindsets LLC ,helps organizations and individuals see their own blind spots . A real estate recruiter we worked with illustrates the positive difference such training can make .

The bus is the most common form of urban transportation in Canada. To use public transportation, you must purchase a ticket or a transit pass. Transit passes allow you unlimited use of public transportation for a specific period (one month or more). They are usually cheaper than buying many tickets if you plan to use public transportation often. Transportation for people with disabilities Public transportation often has features to assist people with disabilities. In many cities and towns, there are also transportation services available specifically for people with limited mobility, such as specially equipped buses. You can find out about these services in the same way you would learn more about other public transportation options. Etiquette on public transportation When taking public transportation such as a bus or train, it is important to understand the unspoken rules of conduct in the shared space. Here are a few things to note: ? Be polite and respectful to others around you. For example, maintain an appropriate noise level when talking or making a phone call. ? If you are carrying a backpack or a large shoulder bag in a crowded public transit vehicle, keep it close to you, preferably at your feet to avoid hitting people with it as you walk by. ?Avoid pushing or touching others in order to make more room for yourself. Sometimes public transit can become very crowded, but it is important to keep calm and give others appropriate personal space. ? Have your proof of payment accessible in case you are asked to show it.
英语四级考试真题及答案(卷一完整 版) 范文： Writing：家长角色 There are several possible reasons accountable for this phenomenon(中心句). To begin with, family in growing numbers has only one child; therefore, parents oftentimes focus all their attentions on that child and exert much pressure on him or her(原因一). Moreover, numerous parents intend to realize their unfulfilled dreams by letting their children learn what they failed to learn and apply for the college by which they failed to be accepted, because they have become richer and they believe that they have the power to make what they wanted and want come true now(原因二). For instance, my uncle used to be a poor man and his dream that one day he would become a violinist was broken because of lack of money. But he made a fortune by selling coals, and then forced his son, my younger brother to practice playing violin. My brother was a huge fan of sports, but now he has to play violin everyday unwillingly and ofter quarrels with their parents(举例：原来-然后-结局). To sum up, it is unreasonable for parents to control their children’s life(总结句). In order to help them grow happily

Colleges taking another look at value of merit-based aid Good grades and high tests scores still matter—a lot—to many colleges as they award financial aid. But with low-income students projected to make up an ever-larger share of the college-bound population in coming years, some schools are re-examining whether that aid, typically known as “merit aid”, is the most effective use of precious institutional dollars. George Washington University in Washington, D.C., for example, said last week that it would cut the value of its average merit scholarships by about one-third and reduce the number of recipients(接受者), pouring the savings, about $2.5 million, into need-based aid. Allegheny College in Meadville, Pa., made a similar decision three years ago. Now, Hamilton College in Clinton, N.Y., says it will phase out merit scholarships altogether. No current merit-aid recipients will lose their scholarships, but need-based aid alone will be awarded beginning with students entering in fall 2008. Not all colleges offer merit aid; generally, the more selective a school, the less likely it is to do so. Harvard and Princeton, for example, offer generous need-based packages, but many families who don’t meet need eligibility(资格)have been willing to pay whatever they must for a big-name school. For small regional colleges that struggle just to fill seats, merit aid can be an important revenue-builder because many recipients still pay enough tuition dollars over and above the scholarship amount to keep the institution running. But for rankings-conscious schools in between, merit aid has served primarily as a tool to recruit top students and to improve their academic profits. “They’re trying to buy students,”says Skidmore College economist Sandy Baum. Studies show merit aid also tends to benefit disproportionately students who could afford to enroll without it. “As we look to the future, we see a more pressing need to invest in need-based aid,”says Monica Inzer, dean of admission and financial aid at Hamilton, which has offered merit scholarships for 10 years. During that time, it rose in US News & World Repor t’s ranking of the best liberal arts colleges, from 25 to 17. Merit aid, which benefited about 75 students a year, or about 4% of its student body, at a cost of about $ 1 million a year, “served us well,”Inzer says, but “to be
