I would just lie on my bed and maybe cook up some soup.” Then, six months ago, she was invited to The Brighter Side -- Rockford’s day care center for the elderly. Every weekday morning since then, she has left her home to meet nine other old people in a church for a rich program of charity work, trips, games, and -- most important of all -- friendly companionship.Just a few years ago, there were few choices for the elderly between a normal life in their own homes and being totally confined in nursing homes. Many of them were sent to rest homes long before they needed full-time care. Others like Mrs. Jones were left to take care of themselves. But in 1971, the White House Conference on Aging called for the development of alternatives to care in nursing homes for old people, and since then, government-supported day-care programs like The Brighter Side have been developed in most big American cities.“This represents a real alternative to the feared institution and makes old people believe they have not left the world of living”, says Alice Brophy, 64, director of New York City’s Office for the Aging, “They do well at the centers, and I hate it when people describe us as elderly playpens（婴儿扶栏）.” New York’s 138 centers encourage continuing contact for the aged with the community’s life. The centers serve more than 15,000 members, and volunteer workers are always looking for new ones. If someone doesn’t show up at the center for several days in a row, a worker at the center calls to make sure all is well. And although participation in the center is free, those who want to can pay for their lunches.No normal studies have been made of these centers for the elderly, but government officials are enthusiastic. In the future, the Public Health Service will do a study to decide if the programs can receive federal Medicare money. And the old people themselves are very happy with the programs. “There is no way”, says Evelyn Jones, smiling at her new companions at the Brighter Side, “that I will ever go back to spending my day with all those loses at the hotel.”66. According to the passage, many old people went to the nursing homes because______________.A. They are in urgent need of full-time care.B. They were rather willing to go there.C. They were sent there.D. They were volunteers there.67. We can conclude from the statements of Alice Brophy that______________.A. the centers are like elderly playpens.B. the old people do well at the day care centers.C. old people like nursing institutions.D. outside the Brighter side they don’t work for the old.68. What’s author’s attitude towards the program of day care centers?A. pessimistic.B. concerned.C. neutral.D. optimistic.69. What is the main idea of the article?A. Day care centers may be able to receive federal Medicare money.B. Day care centers can make life better for elderly people.C. Many old people in the United States are lonely.D. Old people have no place in their society.BBiographyNicole Mary Kidman, AC (born 20 June 1967) is an American-born Australian actress, fashion model, singer and humanitarian. She is also known for her marriage to Tom Cruise, to whom she was married for 11 years and adopted two children, and her current marriage to country musician Keith Urban, with whom she has two biological daughters. As a result of being born to Australian parents in Hawaii, Kidman has dual citizenship in Australia and the United States. The following is a list of movies that Kidman has been involved with.Dead Calm (1989)After starring in a number of small Australian films and TV shows, Kidman's breakthrough was in the 1989 thriller Dead Calm.

The plot focuses on Batman trying to stop Two-Face (Jones) and the Riddler (Carrey) in their villainous scheme to bring the city under their control. The film was released on June 16, 1995, receiving mixed reviews, but was a financial success.Moulin Rouge! (2001)Kidman’s performance in the musical Moulin Rouge! (2001) earned her a second Golden Globe Award and first Academy Award nomination for Best Actress. It tells the story of a young English poet/writer, Christian (Ewan McGregor), who falls in love with the terminally-ill star of the Moulin Rouge, cabaret actress and courtesan Satine (Nicole Kidman).The Hours (2002)Kidman's performance as Virginia Woolf in the drama film The Hours (2002) received critical acclaim and earned her an Academy Award for Best Actress and a Silver Bear for Best Actress. The plot focuses on three women of different generations whose lives are interconnected by the novel Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf, who, in 1920s England, isstruggling with depression and mental illness while trying to write her novel.Rabbit Hole (2010)The screenplay of Rabbit Hole is an adaptation by David Lindsay Abaire of his 2005 play of the same name.

The underlined word “acclaim” has the similar meaning to ___________.A. criticismB. complimentC. complaintD. comment73. Where can we probably find the article?A. A reference siteB. A fashion magazineB. An auto-biography D. A national newspaperC“The Heart of the Matter,” the newly-released report by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (AAAS), deserves praise for attaching the importance of the humanities and social sciences to the prosperity and security of liberal democracy in America. Regrettably, however, the report’s failure to address the true nature of the crisis facing liberal education may cause more harm than good.In 2010, leading congressional Democrats and Republicans sent letters to the AAAS asking that it identify actions that could be taken by federal states and local governments, universities, foundations, educators, individual benefactors(捐助者) and others to maintain national excellence in humanities and social scientific scholarship and education. In response, the AAAS formed the Committee on the Humanities and Social Sciences. Among the Committee’s 51 members are top-university presidents, scholars, lawyers, judges, and business executives, as well as distinguished figures from diplomacy, filmmaking, music and journalism.The goals identified in the report are generally admirable. Because the government supports full literacy (识字) of citizens, the report stresses the study of history and government, particularly American history and American government; and encourages the use of new digital technologies. To encourage innovation and competition, the report calls for increased investment in research, the introduction of a series of curricula that improve students’ ability to solve problems and communicate effectively in the 21st century, increased funding for teachers and the encouragement of scholars to bring their learning into practice on the great challenges of the day. The report also advocates greater study of foreign languages, international affairs and the expansion of study abroad programs.Unfortunately, despite 2 years in the making, "The Heart of the Matter" never gets to the heart of the matter: the illiberal nature of liberal education at our leading colleges and universities. The committee ignores that for several decades America's colleges and universities have produced graduates who don’t know the content and character of liberal education and are thus deprived of its benefits. Sadly, the spirit of inquiry once at home on campus has been replaced by the use of the humanities and social sciences as vehicles for publicizing “progressive”.Today, professors routinely treat the progressive interpretation of history and progressive public policy as the proper subject of study while portraying conservative or classical liberal ideas—such as free markets and self-reliance—as falling outside the boundaries of routine, and sometimes legal intellectual investigation.The AAAS displays great enthusiasm for liberal education. Yet its report may well hold back reform by obscuring(遮蔽) the depth and breadth of the challenge that Congress asked it to clarify.74. Influential figures in the Congress required that the AAAS report on how to___________.A. maintain people’s interest in liberal educationB. define the government’s role in educationC. keep a leading position in liberal educationD. safeguard individuals’ rights to education75. Which one of the following statements about what the AAAS plan suggests is true ?A. An exclusive study of American history.B. A greater emphasis on theoretical subjects.C. The application of emerging technologies. D. Funding for the study of foreign languages.76. It can be inferred from the passage that ___________.A. professors are routinely supportive of free marketsB. intellectual investigation are put great value on in collegeC. progressive public policy is out of boundaries of proper studyD. professors have prejudice against classical liberal ideas77. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. The AAAS’s Contribution to Liberal EducationB. Illiberal Education and “The Heart of the Matter”C. Ways to Grasp “The Heart of the Matter”“D. Progressive Policy vs. Liberal Education答案BCADB BDBAB ACADCCBDB CBBA CCDB。

When anxiety(焦虑）kicks in, students cancompletely lose concentration, leading to poor scores. But is there any solution to suchstress?The key to reducing test anxiety is writing. According to a recent report in thejournal Science, taking a few minutes before an exam to write about all those fears could help students perform better.The study was conducted by Professor Sian L. Beilock, from the University of Chicago, and his graduate student Gerardo Ramirez.First, the researchers asked 20 college students to take a maths test to get a base-lined score. Next, they told the students that they could get a monetary award if they got a good score, and that they were being videotaped.Before beginning the main test, the researchers asked one group of students to spend 10 minutes writing down their anxieties about the test, while the other group sat quietly. Both groups then took the same exam.The researchers found that students who sat quietly did 12% worse than they had on the pre-test, and the ones who wrote about their anxieties improved their scores by 5%.Writing enables students to feel refreshed when facing challenging questions on the examination. However, experts also warn that such a change will not cause students to become any smarter. It can only make them become more relaxed and focused.1.According to the writer, when people feel anxious, they may ______.A) drink a lot of water B) have a heart attack C) kick their feet D) lose concentration2.The best way to reduce test anxiety is ______.A) to sit quietly B) to write about your fearsC) to cool your palms D) to study hard3.The study was conducted by ______.A)Professor Sian L.

I try to read the holy book just like you but I don’t understand it, and what I do understand I forget as soon as I close the book.

I want a basket of water. You’re just not trying hard enough," and Grandpa went out of the door to watch the boy if he would do. The boy knew it was impossible, but he wanted to show his grandfather that even if he ran as fast as he could, the water would leak out before he got to the house.

Sue Panter, a 44-year-old mother of four, had been out for her morning run. The buck had emerged from the tall corn and begun following her. “I knew I was in trouble,” Panter went to pick up a log to use for self-defense, and the buck attacked. It lifted her with its antlers and tossed her into the air.Alexis looked into t he woman’s terrified eyes, and before her father had even stopped the car, she got out of the car and down the slope toward the buck. Alexis helped Sue up the slope and into the Vaughans’ car. “We’re going to get you to a hospital,” Alexis said. Then she h eard her father Michael shout out. Michael had been knocked to the ground. Alexis grabbed a hammer and ran to where Michael lay in the dirt. She beat the buck’s head and neck, but the blows didn’t frighten it. Standing over her father, Alexis could see that he was struggling to breathe. “A couple more strikes, Lex,” said Michael. Alexis squeezed her eyes shut and hit several times. When she opened her eyes, the deer was running away.Alexis got in the driver’s seat and sped toward the hospital.

There is one extra heading which you do not need.A.How to get a list of blocosB.Marching with a samba schoolC.The high occupancy at Brazil’s hotelsD.The pee control during the carnivalE.The world’s biggest carnivalF.The samba parade — the festival’s highlight77.More than 500,000 foreign visitors flock to the carnival each year to dance, shout, drink and surge around in happy mobs. Last year, 1.1 million people took part in the celebrations. The occupancy at Brazil’s hotels is currently more than 80 percent and is expected to hit 98 percent, beating last year’s 95 percent. According to local media, Rio’s h otel association says this is the first time they predict an increase in domestic tourists over foreign tourists.78.What began as street parades developed into a more organized competition among top samba schools from Brazil and abroad. Approximately 3,000 to 5,000 members of each school participate in full-blown costumes that differ every year. All you have to do is buy a costume, head to the meeting spot of the samba school you decide to parade with, pay a membership fee and, most importantly, follow what the person in front of you is doing once you enter the parade with your school. Oh, and don’t forget to learn by heart your school’s tune.79.It’s not all about the samba. Blocos— street parties / smaller local parades that begin weeks before Carnival — are where the real parties are. Look up a list of blocos (there are approximately 500 each year) for times and location. To find a list, get friendly with locals. These aren’t exactly top secret.80.During the carnival, to prevent public urinating — an unfortunately common sight at Carnival —thousands of city workers will be on official “pee patrol.” Milling around the parades and parties in plain clothes, the public agents have been ordered to arrest revelers who can’t be bothered to find a toilet. First-time offenders will be fined, while repeat offenders will find themselves spending the night at the police station.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully.
