Here is oneinterview which explores the fundamental questions in life.Question: Could you introduce yourself first?Answer: My name is Misbah, 27 years old. I was born in a war-torn area. Right now I'm a web designer.Q: What are your great memories?A: My parents used to take us to hunt birds, climb trees, and play in the fields. For me it was like a holiday because we were going to have fun all day long. Those are my great memories.Q: Does your childhood mean a lot to you?A: Yes. As life was very hard, I used to work to help bring money in for the family. I spent my childhood working, with responsibilities beyond my age. However, it taught me to deal with problems all alone. I learnt to be independent.Q: What changes would you like to make in your life?A: If I could change something in my life, I'd change it so that my childhood could have taken place in another area. I would have loved to live with my family in freedom. Who cares whether we have much money, or whether we have a beautiful house? It doesn't matter as long as I can live with my family and we are safe.Q: How do you get along with your parents?A: My parents supported me until I came of age. I want to give back what I've got. That's our way. But I am working in another city. My only contact with my parents now is through the phone, but I hate using it. It filters (过滤) out your emotion and leaves your voice only. My deepest feelings should be passed through sight, hearing and touch.36. In Misbah's childhood, _____.A. he was free from worryB. he liked living in the countrysideC. he was fond of getting close to natureD. he often spent holidays with his family37. How would Misbah prefer to communicate with his parents?A. By chatting on the Internet.B. By calling them sometimes.C. By paying weekly visits.D. By writing them letters.38. If there were only one question left, what would it most probably be?A. What was your childhood dream?B. What is your biggest achievement?C. What is your parents' view of you?D. What was your hardest experience in the war?B.Everybody hates rats．But in the earthquake capitals of the world-Japan，Los Angeles，Turkey-rats will soon be man's new best friends．What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue dogs. Why? Because they can smell people．Dogs save lives．They help rescuers to find living people．But dogs are big and they can't get into small spaces．So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives：the rat．How does it work? First，the rat is trained to smell people．When this happens，the rat's brain gives a signal．This is sent to a small radio on its back，and then the rescuers follow the radio signals．When the rat's brain activity jumps，the rescuers know that someone is alive．The rat has smelled that person．Although there are already robots which can do this job，rats are better．Christian Linster at Cornell University—New York says，“Robots' noses don't work well when there are other smells around．Rats are good at that．”Rats can also see in the dark．They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs，and unlike robots，they don't need electricity!The “rat project”is not finished，but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says，“It would be fantastic．A rat could get into spaces we couldn't get to and a rat would get out if it wasn't safe．”Perhaps for the first time in history，people will be happy to see a rat in a building（but only after an earthquake，of course）．39. In the world earthquake capitals，rats will become man's best friends because they can _________．A. take the place of man's rescue jobsB. find the position of people alive who are trapped in buildingsC. serve as food for people alive who are trapped in buildingsD. get into small spaces40. From the third paragraph we know the rescuers can judge a person is aliveby________．A. the noise made by the rat B．the rat's unusual behaviorC. the signal sent by the radio on the rat's back D．the smell given off by the person41. In doing rescue jobs，_________．A. rats smell better than dogsB. dogs don't need to be trained to smell peopleC. robots' sense of smell can be affected by other smells aroundD. rats can see in the dark and smaller than robotsC.Last night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg，distance of about eighty miles. It was late. Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left, and I became increasingly impatient.At one point along an open road, I came to a crossing with a traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but as I drove near the light, it turned red and I made astop. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of car lamps, but there I sat, waiting for the light to change, the only human being for at least a mile in any direction.I started wondering why I refused to run the light. I was not afraid of being caught, because there was clearly no policeman around, and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it.Much later that night, the question of why I'd stopped for that light came back to me. I think I stopped because it's part of a contract (契约) we all have with each other. It's not only the law, but it is an agreement we have, and we trust each other to honor it: we don't go through red lights.Trust is our first inclination (倾向). Doubting others does not seem to be natural to us. The whole construction of our society depends on mutual (相互) trust, not distrust. We do what we say we'll do; we show up when we say we'll show up; and we pay when we say we'll pay. We trust each other in these matters, and we're angry or disappointed with the person or organization that breaks the trust we have in them.I was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night.42. Why did the author get impatient while driving?A. He was lonely on the road.B. He was slowed down by a truck.C. He got tired of driving too long.D. He came across too many traffic lights.43. What was the author's immediate action when the traffic light turned red?A. Stopping still.B. Driving through it.C. Looking around for other cars.D. Checking out for traffic police.44. The event made the author strongly believe that ________.A. traffic rules may be unnecessaryB. doubting others is human natureC. patience is important to driversD. a society needs mutual trust45. Why was the author proud of himself?A. He kept his promise.B. He held back his anger.C. He followed his inclination.D. He made a right decision.DIt was Saturday. As always, it was a busy one, for “Six days shall you labor and all your work” was taken seriously back then. Outside, Father and Mr. Patrick next door were busy chopping firewood. Inside their own houses, Mother and Mrs. Patrick were engaged in spring cleaning.Somehow the boys had slipped away to the back lot with their kites. Now, even at the risk of having Brother caught to beat carpets, they had sent him to the kitchen for more string(线). It seemed there was no limit to the heights to which kites would fly today.My mother looked at the sitting room, its furniture disordered for a thorough sweeping. Again she cast a look toward the window. “Come on, girls! Let’s take string to the boys and watch them fly the kites a minute.”On the way we met Mrs. Patric, laughing guiltily as if she were doing somethingwrong, together with her girls.There never was such a day for flying kites! We played all our fresh string into the boys’ kites and they went up higher and higher. We could hardly distinguish the orange-colored spots of the kites. Now and then we slowly pulled one kite back, watching it dancing up and down in the wind, and finally bringing it down to earth, just for the joy of sending it up again.Even our fathers dropped their tools and joined us. Our mothers took their turn, laughing like schoolgirls. I think we were all beside ourselves. Parents forgot their duty and their dignity; children forgot their everyday fights and little jealousies. “Perhaps it’s like this in the kingdom of heaven,” I thought confusedly.It was growing dark before we all walked sleepily back to the housed. I suppose we had some sort of supper. I suppose there must have been surface tidying-up, for the house on Sunday looked clean and orderly enough. The strange thing was, we didn’t mention that day afterward. I felt a little embarrassed. Surely none of the others had been as excited as I. I locked the memory up in that deepest part of me where we keep “the things that cannot be and yet they are.”The years went on, then one day I was hurrying about my kitchen in a city apartment, trying to get some work out of the way while my three-year-old in sistently cried her desire to “go park, see duck.”“I can’t go!” I said. “I have this and this to do, and when I’m through I’ll be too tired to walk that far.”My mother, who was visiting us, looked up from the peas she was shelling. “It’s a wonderful day,” she offered, “really warm, yet there’s a fine breeze. Do you remember that day we flew kites?”I stopped in my dash between stove and sink. The locked door flew open and with it a rush of memories. “Come on,” I told my little girl. “You’re right, it’s too good a day to miss.”Another decade passed. We were in the aftermath(余波) of a great war. All evening we had been asking our returned soldier, the youngest Patrick Boy, about his experiences as a prisoner of war. He had talked freely, but now for a long time he had been silent. What was he thinking of --- what dark and horrible things?“Say!” A smile sipped out from his lips. “Do you remember --- no, of course you wouldn’t. It probably didn’t make the impression on you as it did on me.”I har dly dared speak. “Remember what?”“I used to think of that day a lot in POW camp (战俘营), when things weren’t too good. Do you remember the day we flew the kites?”46. Mrs. Patrick was laughing guiltily because she thought________.A. she was too old to fly kitesB. her husband would make fun of herC. she should have been doing her housework thenD. her girls weren't supposed to play the boy's game47. By “we were all beside ourselves writer means that they all ________.A. felt confusedB. went wild with joyC. looked onD. forgot their fights48. What did the writer think after the kite-flying?A. The boys must have had more fun than the girls.B. They should have finished their work before playing.C. Her parents should spend more time with them.D.

I had to learn words and grammar rules, which didn’t seem to have much sense for me at that time. I completely didn’t feel the need to learn English.Everything changed after I went to the USA for the first time at 18. I was impressed by the Grand Canyon, the Sonora Desert, and as a little girl, I liked Disneyland very much.From the earliest childhood, I’ve been taught by qualified teachers, either at home or in high school, not to mention the university. I think that this is of great importance especially for young learners as they are likely to learn wrong things very easily and later it takes a lot of effort to correct those errors.My teachers focused on all aspects of the language: grammar, vocabulary, spoken and written English. When I was younger they used to show me what were the best ways to practice a language. Nowadays, I watch many English films and American programs on TV, and read English books. To practice new words, I write essays which include new interesting words.Such exercises help me a lot when I have to answer difficult questions or deliver a speech. I use many exercise books to practice grammar. However, I hold the opinion that the most natural way to practice grammar is to talk, write essays, etc. Of course, you have to know the grammar rules first. All in all, I must admit that I like spoken English best. Maybe it’s because I’m a quite talkative person.61. Before the author went to America, ________________________.A. she was interested in learning EnglishB. she often wrote essays to improve her EnglishC. she has been learning English for many yearsD. she hadn’t been taught by qualified teachers62. We can learn from the text that ________________________.A. the author has made great progress in spoken EnglishB. the author mainly practices grammar by doing exerciseC. the author watches English films mainly to relaxD. the author didn’t learn much from his teachers in high school63. The author’s favourite way of learning English is _______________________.A. to talk with othersB. to watch English films or programsC. to read English booksD. to write essays with new wordsBIt’s what people who don’t know each other feel about on elevators(电梯). And not about the weather at all. Chatting about the weather with strangers is about emotional comfort.When someone says “Beautiful day today, isn’t it?”as you settle into that narrow elevator space, or at the bus stop, or waiting in line at the supermarket, the conversation is about feeling. The person is speaking to feel more comfortable with you and offering you a chance to feel more comfortable with him or her.Being in close proximity（靠近）with strangers creates interpersonal(人与人之间的) tension(紧张). We can’t help it. Tension automatically seeks resolution. What will you do? Do you notice the person now only a short distance away, or pretend not to notice? Avoidance is one strategy: never make eye contact and act as if nobody is there, even when your feelings tell you. In a supermarket checkout line you might look through a magazine. On elevators, we often avoid others by looking up at the floor numbers.The other strategy is to break the tension by noticing the other person. It starts with eye contact. Then we have a choice: smile, nod, make a remark or start a conversation. If we choose to talk, the most non-controversial(非争议的) subject to talk about is the weather. A remark about the weather evokes(唤起) agreement and feelings of sympathy. “What a nice day!”shares a tiny sliver or happiness. “I wonder if this rain will ever end.” shares the bad feelings with each other.

When child protection agencies heard about her plan to sail alone, they took the case to court and prevented her from making such a dangerous voyage.Since the decision, though, Laura had been preparing with her father to convince the court that she was ready. Later on, she received the books and other materials she would need for school while she was at sea. She added safety equipment to a new, big ship. And she took first aid courses to learn survival skills, like how to put out fires on the boat, take care of her own injuries and deal with lack of sleep. She also planned a safer course --- adding alternate routes(备用路径) to avoid pirate(海盗) attacks, and planning a course that would have her on dry land as she moved from port to port across the globe.Even with all of the added preparations, the trip still has its risks. In early June, 16-year-old Abby Sunderland, an American, had to give up her attempt to become the youngest sailor to travel around the world. Her ship’s mast(桅杆) broke due to rough waters in the Indian Ocean, and she was rescued by a French fishing ship.Laura plans to take longer than Abby for her voyage, and is using a larger and more stable boat. If she finishes successfully in less than two years, she will take the title from current record-holder Jessica Watson, of Australia, who was 16 when she completed the journey.68.

An aged man was standing at a window. He raised his mournful eyes towards the deep blue sky, where the stars were floating like white lilies on the surface of a clear calm lake.He had already passed sixty and brought from his journey nothing but errors and regrets. Now his health was poor, his mind vacant and his heart sorrowful.The days of his youth appeared like dreams before him, and he recalled the serious moment when his father placed him at the entrance of the two roads- one leading to a peaceful, sunny place, covered with flowers, fruits and filled with soft, sweet songs; the other leading to a deep, dark cave, which was endless, where poison flowed instead of water and devils and poisonous snake hissed ( 发嘶嘶声) and crawled (爬, 爬行).He saw the lights flowing away in the darkness. These were the days of his wasted life; he saw a star fall from the sky and disappeared, and this was the symbol of himself. His regret like a sharp arrow struck deeply into his heart. Then he remembered his friends in his childhood. But they had made their way to success and were now honoured and happy on this night.The high church clock struck and the sound made him remember his parents’ early love for him. They had taught him and prayed for his good. But he chose the wrong way. With shame and grief he dared no longer look towards that heaven. His darkened eyes were full of tears, and with a despairing effort, he burst our a cry: “Come back, my early days!”His youth did return, for all this was only a dream which he had on New Year Night. He was still young though his faults were real; he had not yet entered the deep, dark cave, and he was still free to walk on the road which leads to the peaceful and sunny land.Those who still wander on the entrance of life, hesitating to choose the bright road, remember that when years are passed and your feet stumble (绊脚) on the dark mountains, you will cry bitterly, but in vain（徒劳）: “ Oh youth, return! Oh give me back my early days!”72. Why does the author set his story on New Year’s Night?A. He wants to tell people it’s time to recall the pastB. He suggests the aged man will have a bright futureC.
