However, life can be 36 when you are not busy finding fault with it.Several years ago I 37 a letter from seventeen-year-old Kerry, who described herself as a world-class fault-finder, almost always 38 by things. People were always doing things that annoyed her, and 39 was ever good enough. She was highly self-critical and also found fault with her friends. She became a really 40 person. Unfortunately, it took a horrible accident to change her 41 Her best friend was seriously hurt in a car crash. What made it almost 42 to deal with was that the day before the 43 , Kerry had visited her friend and had spent the whole time criticizing her 44 of boyfriends, the way she was living, the way she related to her mother, and various other things she felt she needed to 45 It wasn't until her friend was badlyhurt that Kerry became 46 her habit of finding fault. Very quickly, she learned to appreciate life rather than to 47 everything so harshly ( 刻薄) . She was able to transfer her new wisdom to other parts of her 48 as well.Perhaps most of us aren't as extreme at fault-finding, 49 when we're honest, we can be sharply 50 of the world. I'm not suggesting you 51 problems, or that you pretend things are 52 than they are, but simply that you learn to allow things to be as they are— 53 most of the time, and especially when it's not a really big 54 .Train yourself to "bite your tongue" , and with a little 55 , you'll get really good at letting things go. And when you do, you'll get back your enthusiasm and love for life.36. A.lonely B.great C. quiet D. uneasy37. A.received B.answered C. expected D. rejected38.

Life for ancient people seemed to center on hunting and gathering wild foods for meals.In modern times, when food is available in grocery stores, finding love is more 52 to people’s lives. The 53 is all around us. It is easy to prepare a list ofmodern stories having to do with love. An endless number of books and movies qualify as love stories in popular culture.Researchers are studying whether love, a highly valued emotional state, can be 54 . They ask, what is love? Toothpaste companies want us to think attraction is all about clean teeth, but clean teeth go only so far. Scientists wonder how much the brain gets involved. You have probably heard that opposites attract but that 55 attract, too. One thing is certain: The truth about love is not yet set in stone.First ImpressionTo help determine the 56 of attraction, researchers paired 164 college classmates and had them talk for 3, 6 or 10 minutes so they could get a sense of each other’s individuality. Then students were asked to 57 what kind of relationship they were likely to build with their partners. After nine weeks, they reported what happened.As it turned out, their 58 judgments often held true. Students seemed to 59 at an early stage who would best fit into their lives.The 60 KnowsScientists have also turned to nonhumans to increase understanding of attraction. Many animals give off pheromones—natural chemicals that can be detected by, and then can produce a response in, other animals of the same species. Pheromones can signal that an animal is either ready to fight or is feeling 61 to partnerships. In contrast, humans do not seem to be as 62 as other animals at detecting such chemicals. Smell, however, does seem to play a part in human attraction. Although we may not be aware of chemicals like pheromones consciously, we give and receive loads of information through smell in every interaction with other people.Face ValueBeing fond of someone seems to have a number of factors, including seeing something we find attractive. Researchers had people judge faces for 63 . The participants had 0.013 seconds to view each face, yet somehow they generally considered the images the same as people who had more time to study the same faces. The way we 64 attractiveness seems to be somewhat automatic.When shown an attractive face and then words with good or bad associations, people responded to 65 words faster after viewing an attractive face. Seeing something attractive seems to cause happy thinking.51. A. Instead B. Therefore C. Moreover D. Otherwise52. A. romantic B. stressful C. central D. beneficial53.

Liz PayneBThe freezing Northeast hasn‟t been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter, so when the chance came for a weekend to Sarasota, Florida, my bags were packed before you could say “sunshine”. I left for the land of warmth and vitam in C(维生素C), thinking of beaches and orange trees. When we touched down to blue skies and warm air, I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness. Swimming pools, wine tasting, and pink sunsets(at normal evening hours, not 4 in the afternoon) filled the weekend, but the best part-particularly to my taste, dulled by months of cold-weather root vegetables-was a 7 a.m. adventure to the Sarasota farmers‟ market that proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call.The market, which was founded in 1979, sets up its tents every Saturday from 7 am to 1 p.m, rain or shine, along North Lemon and State streets. Baskets of perfect red strawberries, the red-painted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck; and most of all, the tomatoes: amazing, large, soft and round red tomatoes.Disappointed by many a broken, vine-ripened(蔓上成熟的) promise, I‟ve refused to buy winter tomatoes for years. No matter how attractive they look in the store, once I get them home they‟re unfailingly dry, hard, and tasteless. But I homed in, with uncerta inty, on one particular table at the Brown‟s Grove Farm‟s stand, full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist. These were the real deal- and at that moment, I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in New York I wouldn‟t be experiencing again for months.Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight, my happiness deepened when I learned that Brown‟s Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty, a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton, where-luckily for me-I was planning to have dinner that very night. Without even seeing the menu, I knew I‟d be ordering every tomato on it.24. What did the author think of her winter life in New York?A. Exciting.B. Boring.C. Relaxing.D. Annoying.25. What made the author‟s getting up early worthwhile?A. Having a swim.B. Breathing in fresh air.C. Walking in the morning sun.D. Visiting a local farmer‟s market.26. What can we learn about tomatoes sold in New York in winter?A. They are soft.B. They look nice.C. They taste great.D. They are juicy.27. What was the author going to do that evening?A. Eat in a restaurant.B. Check into a hotel.C. Go to a farm.D. Buy fresh vegetables.CSalvador Dali (1904-1989) was one of the most popular of modern artists. The Pompidou Centre in Paris is showing its respect and admiration for the artist and his powerful personality with an exhibition bringing together over 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and more. Among the works and masterworks on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces, most importantly The Persistence of Memory. There is also L’Enigme sans Fin from 1938, works on paper, objects, and projects for stage and screen and selected parts from television programmes reflecting the artist‟s showman qualities.The visitor will enter the World of Dali through an egg and is met with the beginning, the world of birth. The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exiting through the brain.The exhibition shows how Dali draws the viewer between two infinities (无限). “From the infinity small to the infinity large, contraction and expansion coming in and out of focus: amazing Flemish accuracy and the showy Baroque of old painting that he used in his museum-theatre in Figueras,” explains the Pompidou Centre.The fine selection of the major works was done in close collaboration (合作)with the Museo Nacional Reina Sofia in Madrid, Spain, and with contributions from other institutions like the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida.28. Which of the following best describes Dali according to Paragraph 1?A. Optimistic.B. ProductiveC. Generous.D. Traditional.29. What is Dali‟s The Persistence of Memory considered to be?A. One of his masterworks.B. A successful screen adaptation.C. An artistic creation for the stage.D. One of the beat TV programmes.30. How are the exhibits arranged at the World of Dali?A. By popularity.B. By importance.C. By size and shape.D. By time and subject.31. What does the word “contributions” in the last paragraph refer to?A. Donations.B. Projects.C. Artworks.D. Documents.DConflict is on the menu tonight at the caféLa Chope. This evening, as on every Thursday night, psycholog ist Maud Lehanne is leading two of France‟s favorite pastimes, coffee drinking and the “talking cure”. Here they are learning to get in touch with their true feelings. It isn‟t always easy. The customers-some thirty Parisians who pay just under $2 (plus drinks) per session-are quick to intellectualize (高谈阔论)，slow to open up and connect. “You are forbidden to say …one feels,‟ or …people think‟,”Lehanne told them. “Say …I think,‟ …Think me‟.”A cafe society where no intellectualizing is allowed? It couldn‟t s eem more un-French. But Lehanne‟s psychology cafe is about more than knowing oneself: It‟s trying to help the city‟s troubled neighborhood cafes. Over the years, Parisian cafes have fallen victim to changes in the French lifestyle-longer working hours, a fast-food boom and a younger generation‟s desire to spend more time at home. Dozens of new theme cafes appear to change the situation. Cafes focused around psychology, history, and engineering are catching on, filling tables well into the evening.The city‟s “psychology cafes”, which offer great comfort, are among the most popular places. Middle-aged homemakers, retirees, and the unemployed come to such cafes to talk about love, anger, and dreams with a psychologist. And they come to Lehanne‟s group just to learn to say what they feel. “There‟s a strong need in Paris for communication,” says Maurice Frisch, a cafe La Chope regular who works as a religious instructor in a nearby church. “People have few real friends.And they need to open up.” Lehanne says she‟d like to see psychology cafes all over France. “If people had normal lives, these cafes wouldn‟t exist,” she says. “If life weren‟t a battle, people wouldn‟t need a special place just to speak.” But then, it wouldn‟t be France.32.What are people encouraged to do at the cafe La Chope?A. Learn a new subjectB. Keep in touch with friends.C. Show off their knowledge.D. Express their true feelings.33. How are cafes affected by French lifestyle changes?A. They have bigger night crowds.B. They stay open for longer hours.C. They are less frequently visited.D. They start to serve fast food.34. What are theme cafes expected to do?A. Save the cafe business.B. Supply better drinks.C. Create more jobs.D. Serve the neighborhood.35. Why are psychology cafes becoming popular in Paris?A. They bring people true friendship.B. They give people spiritual support.C. They help people realize their dreams.D. They offer a platform for business links.完形填空（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）My kids and I were heading into the supermarket over the weekend.

Anyone who ha s ever climbed knows that you can easily 32 where there is n o place to go, or so. It seems you’re stuck. But 33 is not an option. You cannot just stand there and feel 34 for yourself. You cannot go back down, so you are 35 to become solution minded.I held on for dear life that day, on my first climb, 36 about thr ee quarters of the way to the top. It seemed that there was no place to go, and 37 to put my hands or feet so that I could 3 8 upward. But after a few minutes had passed I realized that I had to do 39 . I began to look again for a(n) 40 . I then noti ced a 41 sticking out, which I might be able to grab with my hands and 42 myself up to where I could have a small footho ld. I called to the instructor at the top and asked him if that roc k would hold my 43 if I pulled myself up. I can 44 remember his answer, “I don’t know. Why don’t you try it and see?”In life we many times feel “stuck”. We wonder how we got into the 45 that we are presently in. It is in those times that we need to be careful about how we define(定义)it. Have we failed, 46 is it just a setback?Setbacks, adversity(逆境), or being stuck is never an indication that you are a 47 u nless you decide that those things define your life as a failure. For people looking for a(n) 48 to be a failure, there are alwa ys plenty to choose from. But if you want your life to be succe ssful, setbacks, adversity and being stuck are 49 stepping-stones to your success. Success minded people 50 those ki nds of things for what they really are.

Anyone who has ever climbed knows that you can easily 32 where there is no place to go, or so. It seems you’re stuck. But 33 is not an option. You cannot just stand th ere and feel 34 for yourself. You cannot go back down, so you are 35 to become solution minded.I held on for dear life that day, on my first climb, 36 about three quarters of the way to the t op. It seemed that there was no place to go, and 37 to put my hands or feet so that I could 38 upward. But after a few minutes had passed I realized that I had to do 39 . I began to lo ok again for a(n) 40 . I then noticed a 41 sticking out, which I might be able to grab with m y hands and 42 myself up to where I could have a small foothold. I called to the instructor at the top and asked him if that rock would hold my 43 if I pulled myself up. I can 44 rememb er his answer, “I don’t know. Why don’t you try it and see?”In life we many times feel “stuck”. We wonder how we got into the 45 that we are presently i n. It is in those times that we need to be careful about how we define(定义)it. Have we failed, 46 is it just a setback?Setbacks, adversity(逆境), or being stuck is never an indication that you are a 47 unless you decide that those things define your life as a failure. For people looking for a(n) 48 to be a failure, there are alwa ys plenty to choose from. But if you want your life to be successful, setbacks, adversity and b eing stuck are 49 stepping-stones to your success. Success minded people 50 those kinds of things for what they reall y are.

From the first day he entered my junior-high classroom, Willard P. Franklin existed in his own world, 1 himself from his classmates and me, his teacher. My attempts at 2 up a friendly relationship with him were met with complete indifference. I came to know that Willard was 3 a loner who seemed to have no desire or need to 4 his barrier of silence.Shortly after the Thanksgiving holiday, we received word of the 5 Christmas collection of money for the less 6 people in our school district.“Christmas is a season of giving,” I told my students. “There are a few students in the school who 7 not have a happy holiday season. By 8 our Christmas collection, you will help buy food, clothing and toys for these 9 people.

For a moment, just a moment, he 13 . Then he turned and walked back to his desk.That night, after school, I took our small contributions to the school principal. I couldn’t help sharing the 14 that had taken place.“I may be wrong, 15 I believe Willard might be getting ready to become a part of the world around him,” I told the principal.“Yes, I believe it sounds 16 ,” he nodded. “And I have a hunch(直觉) we might do well to have him 17 a bit of his world with us. I just 18 a list of the poor families in our school who most need help 19 the Christmas collection. Here, take a look at it.” I discovered Willard P.

They could 4 .The employer was 5 to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, 6 over time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He used bad workmanship and 7 materials. It was an unfortunate way to 8 a dedicated（献身的）career.When the carpenter finished his work, his employer came to 9 the house. Then he handed the front-door 10 to the carpenter and said, “This is your house... my 11 to you.”The carpenter was shocked!What a 12 ! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently.13 it is with us. We build our lives, a day at a time, often putting 14 than our best into the building. Then, with a shock, we 15 we have to live in the house we have built. If we could do it over, we would do it much differently.But, you cannot 16 .

After a while I stopped trying to 3 who the sender was and just delighted in the beautiful and perfume of the white flower. But I never 4 imagining who the sender might be. Some of my 5 moments were spent daydreaming about it.My mother asked me whether there was someone for whom I had done a(n) 6 kindness who might be showing 7 . Perhaps the neighbor I helped when she was 8 a car full of groceries. Or maybe it was the old man 9 the street whose mail I helped to get during the 10 so he wouldn’t have to venture down his icy step.
