But in the U.S.A today, a college student often is much older. In fact, educators say in the next few years colleges and universities may have more older part-time students than traditional (传统的) full-time younger students.Educators report a big increase in the number of Americans who attend college and university classes in the evening or at night or weekends. Most of them are older than 25 years old and more have full-time or part-time jobs. Many are in their thirties or forties.Why are so many people deciding to spend their time and money in order to continue their education? Most are doing it because they believe more education will help them to get a better job. Some are industrial workers whose factories have closed. They are learning new skills to prepare for other kinds of work. Some of the part-time students are not pleased with the jobs they have. They are studying for new ones. Some have retired (退休) and are looking for new kinds of work. Two of every three of the students older than 35 are women. Many of them are returning to school after years of staying at home to care for children.Are older students good students? Most teachers say yes. They say older students really want to learn.

And he didn’t want to learn a new language that he could never describe the world as beautifully as his own.He began to go the dock(码头), because this made him feel closer to Puerto Rico. He sat down and watched the ships. He would often find a man also sitting there looking at the sea.

I remember when I left Norway 15 years ago. I know it’s h ard to start a new life in a new country, but let’s face it.

Henry was a pen name used by an American writer of short stories. His real name was William Sydney Porter. He was born in North Carolina in 1862. As a young boy he lived an exciting life. He did not go to school for very long, but he managed to teach himself everything he needed to know. When he was about 20 years old, O. Henry went to Texas, where he tried different jobs. He first worked on a newspaper, and then had a job in a bank. When some money went missing from the bank, O. Henry was believed to have stolen it. Because of that, he was sent to prison. During the three years in prison, he learned to write short stories. After he got out of prison, he went to New York and continued writing. He wrote mostly about New York and the life of the poor there. People liked his stories, because simple as the tales were, they would finish with a sudden change at the end, to the reader's surprise.56. In which order did O. Henry do the following things?a. Lived in New Yorkb. Worked in a bankc. Traveled to Texasd. Was put in prisone. Had a newspaper jobf. Learned to write storiesA. e, c, f, b, d, aB. c, e, b, d, f, aC. e, b, d, c, a, fD. c, b, e, d, a, f57. People enjoyed reading O. Henry's stories because ______________.A. they had surprise endings.B. they were easy to understand.C. they showed his love for the poor.D. they were about New York City58. What do we know about O.

Henry get most materials for his short stories?A.His life inside the prison.B.The newspaper articles he wrote.C.The city and people of New York.D.His exciting early life as a boy.BWhen we see well, we do not think about our eyes very often. It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are.People who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes, and eve rything else seems blurry (=unclear). Many people who do a lot of work, such as writing, reading and sewing become near—sighted.However, People who are far-sighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses, too.Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. They have what is called astigmatism (散光). This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts (白内障). Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.Having two good eyes is important for judging distances. Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle (角度). To prove this to yourself, look at an object out of one eye; then look at the same object o ut of your other eye. You will find the object’s relation to the background and other things around it has changed. The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is. People who have only one eye cannot judge distance as people with two eyes.60.We should take good care of our eyes________A.only when we can see wellB.0nly when we can not see perfectlyC.even if we can see wellD.0nly when we realize how important our eyes are61.The underlined word blurry in the second paragraph probably means_____________.A. UntrueB.uncertainC.unimportantD.unclear62. Having two eyes instead of one is particularly useful for______.A. seeing at nightB. seeing objects far awayC. looking over a wide areaD. judging distances63. People who suffer from astigmatism have______.A. one eye bigger than the otherB. eyes that are not exactly the right shapeC. a difficulty that can be corrected by an operationD. an eye difficulty that cannot be corrected by glassesCMarch, April and May are months full of festivals and events all over the world. Here are some wonderful festivals around the world that happen in spring.SongKran--ThailandDates: 13th-15th, AprilIn Thailand, it’s time to c elebrate the coming monsoon season, which will bring the rain many people have been looking forward to. They celebrate it with a festival called Songkran，when people head out to the streets with water guns to spray(喷，洒）everyone who walks past. If you walk on the streets where the festival is celebrated, prepare to get soaked!Naghol--VanuatuDates: Every Saturday from April to MayEvery year, villagers come together to celebrate the harvest of yams, an important part in the people’s diet in Vanuatu. The festival is most famous for its “land di ving ceremony”. During the ceremony men and boys dive to the ground from high wooden towers with only two thin vines(藤条) attached(附于)to their ankles(脚踝）. The divers’ heads have to lightly touch the ground when they jump---something very dangerous if the vines are not measured（测量）properly.Cherry Blossom Viewing ---JapanDates: The cherry blossom season is different from year to year depending on the weather forecast.The cherry blossom season has huge importance to the people of Japan, who celebrate the days when the flowers finally blossom. Only a few days later, the petals(花瓣）fall to the ground, like pink snowflakes. This is one of the most beautiful things to see. In Japan, almost everyone has picnics in the parks to view the flowers.Sinhalese New Year--Sri LankaDates: 13th or 14th, AprilJust like in many other countries in South an South East Asia, this is the time when the Sinhalese celebrate the traditional New Year, an ancient celebration which marks the end of the harvest season and is one of two times of the year when the sun is straight above Sri Lanka. There are a lot of delicious foods during the celebration.65.What does the underlined word “soaked” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. tiredB. wetC. crazyD. interested66.The writer thinks that the “land diving ceremony” can be dangerous for the divers because ___________.A. the divers may fall onto the ground if the thin vines breakB. the divers may bump into （撞在…上）the wooden tower on the way downC. the divers’ ankles may get injured if the vines are tied too tightlyD. the divers may injure their heads if the vines aren’t measured properly66.. We can learn from the passage that__________________.A. the Cherry Blossom Celebration usually lasts a long time in JapanB. the Cherry Blossom Celebration is the most important festival in JapanC. the time for the Cherry Blossom Celebration in Japan can be different yearlyD. people usually stay at home for celebration during the cherry blossom seasonD.When I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation (住所). Isuggested that they should stay at 'bed and breakfast' houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family.My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories."We didn't stay at bed and breakfast houses," they said, "because we found that most families were away on holiday."I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought 'V ACANCIES' meant 'holidays', because the Spanish word for 'holidays' is 'vacaciones'. So they did not go to house where the sign outside said'VACANCLES', which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to house where the sign said 'NO V ACANCLES', because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses wereall full. As a result, they stayed at hotels!We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word 'DIVERSION' means fun.In English, it means that workmen arerepairing the road, and that you must take a different road.When my friends saw the word'DIVERSION' on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun.Instead, the roadended in a large hold.English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris,when someone offered me some more coffee, I said "Thank you" in French. I meant that Iwould like some more. However, to my surprise, the coffee pot was taken away! Later Ifound out that "Thank you" in French means "No, thank you."67. My Spanish friends wanted advice about _____.A. learning EnglishB. finding places to stay in EnglandC. driving their car on English roadsD. going to England by car68.I suggested that they stay at bed and breakfast houses because__________A.They would be able to practise their English\B.It would be much cheaper than staying in hotelsC.It would be convenient for them to have dinnerD.There would be no problem about finding accommodation there.69. 'NO V ACANCIES' in English means _____.A. no free roomsB. free roomsC. not away on holidayD. holidays70.If you see a road sign that says"Diversion", you will_________A.fall into a holeB.have a lot of fun and enjoy yourselfC.find that the road is blocked by crowds of peopleD.have to take a different road71. When someone offered me more coffee and I said "Thank you" in French, I _____.A. didn't really want any more coffeeB. wanted them to take the coffee pot awayC. really wanted some more coffeeD. wanted to express my politeness第四部分：基础知识（共四节，满分23分）I. 根据首字母或中文提示，写出正确的单词完成句子。

In her grief (悲痛), she went to the holy man (圣人) and asked, “What magical things do you have to bring my son back to life?”Instead of sending her away or saying a few words to comfort her, the holy man said to her, “Bring me a mustard (芥菜) seed from a home that has never known sorrow. We will use it to drive the sorrow out of your life.” The woman went off at once in search of that magical seed.She first came to a beautiful castle, knocked at the door, and said, “I am looking for a home that has never known sorrow. Is this such a place? It is very important to me.”They told her, “You’ve certainly come to the wrong place.” And then they began to describe all the bad things that had recently happened to them.The woman said to herself, “Who is better able to help these unfortunate people than I?” So she stayed to comfort them, and then went on in search of a home that had never known sorrow. But wherever she turned, in hotels or in other places, she found one tale after another of sadness and misfortune.The woman became so busy helping others to deal with their sorrows that she finally let go of her own.

There are two steps you can take to help kids to enjoy reading. Firstly you need to find something they actually want to read. Then, you need to get them to read school books, but this is not the place to start.So how do you choose something for your kids to read? You have to find out what your kids enjoy. It doesn’t matter what you buy, so long as your kids will find it interesting. A book given as a reward (奖励) will often be more enjoyed by kids. If your kids have just done well at something, this is a good time to give them a new book.The second thing you need to consider is where your kids are going to read. I strongly suggest creating a “reading space” in their room and also a time for them to read on their own, ideally just before bed time.There is another way to really speed up your kids’ reading. It is to get them writing. When you set up their “reading space”, be sure to give them a diary and a pen. Just by writing a few sentences each day they will improve their skills.So to successfully get your kids to enjoy reading you need to create them a space in which they read, give them something fun to read, and improve their skills through writing. Before you know it, their abilities will have moved forward and you will be amazed at their progress. Of course, remember all the time to reward good reading with more books.9. The author wrote this passage to .A. show us how to speed up our readingB. tell us the benefits of reading for kidsC. give us some tips on how to get kids to enjoy readingD. give us examples of how to choose proper books for kids10. Whom is this passage intended for?A. Teachers.B. Kids.C. Parents.D. Workers.11. Which of the following methods will most probably get kids to value their books?A. Giving them books as a reward.B. Reading books together with them.C. Choosing books they like.D. Giving them a reading space.DResearchers found that a “name pronunciation effect” played an important role in how people were perceived (感知) by others. They concluded that the easier a person’s name was to say, the better their successwas in the workplace and the quicker career advancement (提升) they enjoyed. Their study also found that a simple name improved people’s ability to make new fr iends.Dr. Simon Laham, who led the study, said people with simple names were generally judged more positively (积极地). “The effect is not because of the length of a name or how foreign-sounding or unusual it is, but rather how easy it is to pronounce,” he said.In their study the team studied the way names can influence a person’s impressions and decision making. They looked at lots of names of 500 university student volunteers from British, Asian, and European backgrounds and a field of 500 lawyers in America. The team found that people with more pronounceable names were more likely to achieve success. They found that American lawyers with easier sounding names got career advancement faster within their law firms. Names including Sherman, Jenkins, Benson, and Angus ranked among the easiest to pronounce, while Farquharson and Loughnane and European names such as Leszczynska were found to be difficult to pronounce. They concluded that a simple name was the key to success.Dr. Laham said the results could have important implications (意义) for how managers dealt with bias (偏见). “It’s important to treat the biases that shape our choices and judgments about others,” he said. “It may help remove bias, leading to fairer, more objective treatment of others.”12. What factor of a name plays the key role in deciding its effect?A. The length of the name.B. The pronunciation of the name.C. The meaning of the name.D. Whether the name is unusual or not.13. The underlined part “pronounceable names” in Para. 3 refers to names that .A. can be spelled easilyB. can’t be pronounced easilyC. can be pronounced without difficultyD. sound like foreign names14. Which of the following would Dr. Laham most probably agree with?A. People should use simple names to avoid biases.B. Foreign names are considered to be hard to pronounce.C. The name effect can be found only in English-speaking countries.D. The study can help people treat those with hard-to-say names more fairly.15. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Having an easy-to-say name will help you get quicker career advancement.B. People with hard-to-say names should struggle for fairer treatment.C. People with hard-to-say names should avoid unfair treatment from others.D. The importance of changing hard-to-say names to easy-to-say ones.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Merely to keep food on the table, the goldsmith（金匠）father worked eighteen hours a day. Despite their 36 condition, two of Durer's children had a dream to seek their talent for 37 , but they knew 1well their father would never be able to send38 of them to Nuremberg to study at the Academy.The two boys finally worked out an agreement. They would toss（扔） a coin. The 39_ would work in the nearby mines to support his brother. Albrecht Durer 40 the toss and went off to Nuremberg. Albert went into the dangerous mines and, for the next four years, financed his brother, 41 work at the academy was almost an 42 success. Albrecht's woodcuts（木刻） and oils were 43 better than those of his professors and he soon was earning considerable fees 44 his works.When the young 45 returned home, the Durer family held a festive dinner. Albrecht rose to toast to his beloved brother, "Now, Albert, it is your 46 to seek your dream. I will support you."All heads turned to the far end of the table, where Albert sat, tears streaming down his pale face, while he 47 and repeated, "No ...no." Finally, Albert rose and 48 the tears from his cheeks. He said softly, "I 49 go to Nuremberg, brother. It is too late for me. Look what four years in the mines have done to my hands! The bones in every finger have been smashed（猛击） at least once, and I cannot even hold a glass to 50 your toast."Today, Albrecht Durer's masterful works 51 in every great museum in the world, but chances are great 52 you, like most people, are familiar with only one of them. Albrecht Durer drew his brother's abused hands with palms together and thin 53 stretched（伸展） skyward. He 54 it "The Praying Hands."Next time you see that touching creation, take a second look.

And I am one of them. Take my family’s last vacation. It was my six-year-old son’s winter break form school, and we were heading home from Fort Lauderdale after a weeklong trip. The flight was overbooked, and Delta, the airline, offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day. I had meetings in New York，So I had to get back. But that didn't mean my husband and my son couldn't stay. I took my nine-month-old and took off for home.The next day, my husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight. Yes, I encouraged—okay, ordered—them to wait it out at the airport, to "earn" more Delta Dollars. Our total take: $1,600. Not bad, huh?Now some people may think I'm a bad mother and not such a great wife either. Butas a big-time bargain hunter, I know the value of a dollar. And these days, a gooddeal is something few of us can afford to pass up.I've made living looking for the best deals and exposing （揭露） the worst tricks.I have been the consumer reporter of NBC's Today show for over a decade. I have writtena couple of books including one titled Tricks of the Trade: A Consumer Survival Guide. And I really do what I believe in.I tell you this because there is no shame in getting your money’s worth. I’m also tightfisted when it comes to shoes, clothes for my children, and expensive restaurants. But I wouldn't hesitate to spend on a good haircut. It keeps its shape longer, and it's the first thing people notice. And I will also spend on a classic piece of furniture. Quality lasts.【小题1】Why did Delta give the author's family credits?A. Their flight had been delayed.B. Their flight had been cancelled.C. They had early bookingsD. They took a later flight【小题2】What can we learn about the author?A. She rarely misses a good deal.B. She seldom makes a compromise.C. She is very strict with her childrenD. She is interested in cheap products.【小题3】What does the author do?A. She's a teacher.B. She's a media personC. She's a housewife.D. She's a businesswoman.【小题4】What does the author want to tell us?A. How to expose bad tricks.B. How to reserve airline seats.C. How to make a business deal.D. How to spend money wiselyBThey baby is just one day old and has not yet left hospital. She is quiet but alert （警觉）. Twenty centimeters from her face researchers have placed a white card with two black spots on it. She stares at it carefully. A researcher removes the card and replaces it by another, this time with the spots differently spaced. As the cards change from one to the other, her gaze（凝视） starts to lose its focus — until a third, with three black spots, is presented. Her gaze returns: she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card. Can she tell that the number two is different from three, just 24 hours after coming into the world?Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer? The same experiment, but with three spots shown before two, shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes. Perhaps it is just the newness? When slightly older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects (a comb, a key, an orange and so on), changing the numberof objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves. Could it bethe pattern that two things make, as opposed to three? No again. Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three, or three to two. The effect even crosses between senses. Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats than when they heard just two; likewise （同样地） when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots.【小题1】The experiment described in Paragraph 1 is related to the baby’s .A. sense of sightB. sense of touchC. sense of hearingD. sense of smell【小题2】Babies are sensitive to the change in______.A. the size of cardsB. the colour of picturesC. the number of objectsD. the shape of patterns【小题3】Why did the researchers test the babies with drumbeats?A. To reduce the difficulty of the experiment.B. To carry their experiment further.C. To see how babies recognize soundsD. To keep the babies’ interest.【小题4】Where does this text probably come from?A. Science fiction.B. Children’s literature.C. A science report.D. An advertisement.C It happened to me recently. I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama’s Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President.A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was, in his words, “a brilliantly （精彩地）written book”. However, he then went on to talk about Mr. Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all. I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.And it seems that my friend is not the only one. Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven’t. In the World Book Day’s “Report on Guilty Secrets”, Dreams From My Father is at number 9. The report lists ten books, and various authors, which people have lied about reading, and as I’m not one to lie too often (I’d hate to be caught out), I’ll admit here and now that I haven’t read the entire top ten. But I am pleased to say that, unlike 42 percent of people, I have read the book at number one, George Orwell’s 1984. I think it’s really brilliant.The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it. It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Fyodor Dostoevsky (I haven’t read him, but haven’t lied about it either) and Herman Melville.Asked why they lied, the most common reason was to “impress” someone they were speaking to. This could be tricky if the conversation became more in–depth!But when asked which authors they actually enjoy, people named J. K. Rowling, John Grisham, Sophie Kinsella (ah, the big sellers, in other words). Forty-two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story (I’ll come clean: I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so).【小题1】How did the author find his friend a book liar?A. By judging his manner of speaking.B. By looking into his background.C. By discussing the book itself.D. By mentioning a famous name. 【小题2】Which of the following is a “guilty secret” according to the World Book Day report?A. Charles Dickens is very low on the top-ten list.B. 42% of people pretended to have read 1984.C. The author admitted having read 9 books.D.Dreams From My Father is hardly read.【小题3】By lying about reading, a person hopes to .A. control the conversationB. make more friendsC. learn about the bookD. appear knowledgeable【小题4】What is the author’s attitude to 58% of readers?A. Favorable.B. UncaringC. FriendlyD. DoubtfulD The technology is gr eat. Without it we wouldn’t have been able to put a man on the moon, explore the ocean’s depths or eat microwave sausages. Computers have revolutionized our lives and they have the power to educate and pass on knowledge. But sometimes this power can create more problems than it solves.Every doctor has had to try their best to calm down patients who’ve come into their surgery waving an Internet print-out, convinced that they have some rare incurable disease, say, throat cancer. The truth is usually far more ordinary, though: they don’t have throat cancer, and it’s just that their throats are swollen. Being a graduate of the Internet “school” of medicine does not guarantee accurate self-health-checks.One day Mrs. Almond came to my hospital after feeling faint at work. While I took her blood sample and tried to find out what was wrong, she said calmly, “I know what’swrong; I’ve got throat cancer. I know there’s nothing you doctors can do about it and I’ve just got to wait until the day comes.”As a matter of routine I ordered a chest X-ray. I looked at it and the blood results an hour later. Something wasn’t right. “Did your local doctor do an X-ray?” I asked. “Oh, I haven’t been to the doctor for years,” she replied. “I read about it on a website and the symp toms fitted, so I knew that’s what I had.”However, some of her symptoms, like the severe cough and weight loss, didn’t fit with it—but she’d just ignored this.I looked at the X-ray again, and more tests confirmed it wasn’t the cancer but tuberculosis (肺结核)—something that most certainly did need treating, and could be deadly. She was lucky we caught it when we did.Mrs. Almond went pale when I explained she would have to be on treatment for the next six months to ensure that she was fully recovered. It was certainly a lesson for her. “I’m so embarrassed,” she said, shaking her head, as I explained that all the people she had come into close contact with would have to be found out and tested. She listed up to about 20, and then I went to my office to type up my notes. Unexpectedly, the computer was not working, so I had to wait until someone from the IT department came to fix it. Typical. Maybe I should have a microwave sausage while I waited?【小题1】Mrs. Almond talked about her illness calmly because ______.A. she had purchased medicine onlineB. she thought she knew it wellC. she graduated from a medical schoolD. she had been treated by local doctors 【小题2】It was lucky for Mrs. Almond ______.A. to have contacted many friendsB. to have recovered in a short timeC. to have her disease identified in timeD. to have her assumption confirmed 【小题3】Mrs. Almond said “I’m so embarrassed” (Para. 7) because ______.A. she had caused unnecessary troubleB. she had to refuse the doctor’s adviceC. she had distrusted her close friendsD. she had to tell the truth to the doctor【小题4】By mentioning the breakdown of the computer, the author probably wants to prove _____.A. it’s a must to take a break at workB. it’s unwise to simply rely on technologyC. it’s vital to believe in IT professionalsD. it’s a danger to work long hours on computersEA German study suggests that people who were too optimistic about their future actually faced greater risk of disability or death within 10 years than those pessimists who expected their future to be worse.The paper, published this March in Psychology and Aging, examined health and welfare surveys from roughly 40,000 Germans between ages 18 and 96. The surveys were conducted every year from 1993 to 2003.Survey respondents (受访者) were asked to estimate their present and future life satisfaction on a scale of 0 to 10, among other questions.The researchers found that young adults (age 18 to 39) routinely overestimated their future life satisfaction, while middle-aged adults (age 40 to 64) more accurately predicted how they would feel in the future. Adults of 65 and older, however, were far more likely to underestimate their future life satisfaction. Not only did they feel more satisfied than they thought they would, the older pessimists seemed to suffer a lower ratio (比率) of disability and death for the study period.“We observed that being too optimistic in predicting a better future than actually observed was associated with a greater risk of disability and a greater risk of death within the following decade,” wrote Frieder R. Lang, a professor at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg.Lang and his colleagues believed that people who were pessimistic about their future may be more careful about their actions than people who expected a rosy future.“Seeing a dark future may encourage positive evaluations of the actual self and may contribute to taking improved precautions (预防措施),” the authors wrote.Surprisingly, compared with those in poor health or who had low incomes, respondents who enjoyed good health or income were associated with expecting a greater decline. Also, the researchers said that higher income was related to a greater risk of disability.The authors of the study noted that there were limitations to their conclusions. Illness, medical treatment and personal loss could also have driven health outcomes.However, the researchers said a pattern was clear. “We found that from early to late adulthood, individuals adapt their expectations of future life satisfaction from optimistic, to accurate, to pessimistic,” the authors concluded.【小题1】According to the study, who made the most accurate prediction of their future life satisfaction?A. Optimistic adults.B. Adults of lower income.C. Adults in poor health.D. Middle-aged adults【小题2】 Pessimism may be positive in some way because it causes people ______.A. to fully enjoy their present lifeB. to take measures against potential risksC. to estimate their contribution accuratelyD. to value health more highly than wealth【小题3】How do people of higher income see their future?A. They will suffer mental illnessB. They will become pessimistic.C. They will earn less money..D. They will have less time to enjoy life.【小题4】What is the clear conclusion of the study?A. Pessimism guarantees chances of survival.B. Good financial condition leads to good health.C. Expectations of future life satisfaction decline with age.D. Medical treatment determines health outcomes.第II卷（非选择题共35分）第四部分写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节短文填词（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）Women are playing a much more important part in society today.Now women are working 76 teachers, scientists and even leaders.
