It was the end of my first day as waitress in a busy New York restaurant. My cap had gone away, and my feet 36 . The loaded plates I carried 37 to be heavier and heavier. Tired and discouraged, I didn’t seem able to do anything 38 . As I made out a check for a family with several children who had changed their ice-cream 39 a dozen times, I was ready to stop. Then the father 40 at me as he handed me my tip. “Well done,” he said, “you’ve 41 us really well.” Suddenly my tiredness 42 . I smiled back, and later, when the manager asked me how I’d like my first day, I said, “ 43 !” Those few words of praise had 44 everything. Praise is like 45 to the human spirit ; we cannot flower and grow without it. And 46 , while most of us are only too 47 to apply (应用) to others the cold wind of criticism (批评), we are 48__ to give our fellows the warm sunshine of praise. Why—when one word of praise can bring such 49 ?
It’s strange how chary (吝啬) we are about praising. Perhaps it’s 50 few of us know how to accept it.

In this century the traditional American family is constantly faced with the threat of breakdown. Some sociologists suggest that one little – noticed cause may be the introduction of the TV dinner.
Before the appearance of television sets, the American dinner was a big event for the family. In many homes dinner time may be the only time when everyone got together. A typical dinner was usually in three stages. In the preparation stage, the children and Father frequently helped with setting while Mother put the last touches on the roast. In the eating stage, family members shared the day’s experiences and more than food was consumed. In this stage families got to know one another and made joint decisions around the dinner table, and thus the family solidarity was strengthened. In the cleaning – up stage, children or Father again gave their hands, so that their significance to the home community was clear. Unfortunately, all of these have been erased by a product—the television set.
By the beginning of the 1980s, the typical American family dinner was just twenty minutes long. The speed – up of this once – leisurely experiences is clearly connected to the overall pace of modern life and maybe a model of the modern life is the TV dinners—meals designed to be consumed between the opening and closing credits of a half – hour program. The once family affair has now become nothing more than the use of a fork and knife.
56. According to the passage, the American family is now threatened by .
A. poverty B. having few children C. poor living conditions D. separation

A. spend more time eating their food at dinner table

58. The shortening of the dinner time in America is related to .
A. the TV programs B. the pace of modern life
C. the wide use of household appliances D. the popularity of fast food
59. According to the passage, TV dinners are______.
A. meals consumed while one is watching TV
B. meals one learns to cook on TV
C. meals ordered on TV
D. meals consumed before TV
60. The best title for this passage might be .
A. Talk At Dinner Table B. TV Dinner
C. Pace Of Modern Life D. Problems Caused By TV

There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process. People have generally viewed personal growth as an external（外部的） result or product that can easily be identified and measured. The worker who gets a promotion, the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns a new language – all these are examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts.
By contrast, the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since by definition it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks (路标) along the way. The process is not the road itself, but rather the attitudes and feelings people have, their caution or courage, as they go through new experiences and unexpected obstacles. In this process, the journey never really ends; there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try new challenges to accept.
In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to be faced with the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may “fail” at first. How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is essential to our ability to grow. Do we find ourselves as quick and curious? If so, then we tend to take more chances and to be more open to unfamiliar experiences. Do we think we’re shy and indecisive? Then our sense of timidity can cause us to hesitate, to move slowly, and not to take a step until we know the ground is safe. So we think we’re slow to adapt to change or that we’re not smart enough to cope with a new challenge? Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all.
These feelings of insecurity and self – doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow. If we do not face and overcome these internal fears and doubts, if we protect ourselves too much, then we cease to grow. We become trapped inside a shell of our own making.
61. A person is generally believed to achieve personal growth when .
A. he has given up his smoking habit
B. he has made great efforts in his work
C. he is interested in making anything new
D. he has tried to determine where he is on his journey
62. In the author’s eyes, one who views personal growth as a process would .
A. succeed in climbing up the social ladder
B. judge his ability to grow from his own achievements
C. face difficulties and take up challenges
D. aim high and reach his goal each time
63. When the author says “a new way of being” (para. 3), he is referring to .
A. a new approach to experiencing the world
B. a new way of taking risks
C. a new method of finding ourselves
D. a new system of adapting to change
64. For personal growth, the author supports all of the following except .
A. curiosity and more chances B. being quick in self – adaptation
C. open – minded to new experiences D. avoidance of internal fears and doubts
C
A sense of humor is just one of the many things shared by Alfred and Anthony Melillo, 64-year-old twin brothers from East Haven who made history in February 2006. On Christmas Eve, 1996, Anthony had a heart transplant from a 21-year-old donor. Two days before Valentine’s Day in 2006, Alfred received a 19-year-old heart, marking the first time on record that twin adults each received heart transplants
“I’m 15 minutes older than him, but now I’m younger because of my heart and I’m not going to respect him,” Alfred said with a grin, pointing to his brother while talking to a roomful of reporters, who laughed frequently at their jokes.
While the twins knew that genetics might have played a role in their condition, they recognized that their eating habits might have also contributed to their heart problems. “We’d put half a pound of butter on a steak. I overdid it on all the food that tasted good, so I guess I deserved what I got for not dieting properly.”
The discussion moved to Anthony’s recovery. In the five years since his heart transplant, he had been on an exercise program where he regularly rode a bicycle for five miles, swam each day, and walked a couple of miles. He was still on medication, but not nearly as much as Alfred, who was just in the early stage of his recovery.
“Right now I feel pretty young and I’m doing very well,” Anthony said. “I feel like a new person.”
Alfred said his goal, of course, was to feel even better than his brother. But, he added, “I love my brother very much. We’re very close and I’m sure we’ll do just fine.”
65. This main idea of the passage is _________.
A. becoming young by getting a new heart
B. the effect of genetics on the heart
C. the twin brothers who received heart transplants
D. the danger of heart transplant surgery
66. What did Alfred and Anthony have in common?
A. Lifespan. B. Career goals.
C. A sense of humor. D. Love for bicycling.
67.It is inferred from the passage that__________.
A. both of the new hearts weren’t paid at all
B. Anthony recovered better than Alfred
C. Alfred was still in hospital
D. people who have healthy diets won’t suffer heart attacks
68. Alfred said, “I’m 15 minutes older than him, but now I’m younger because of my heart” because__________.
A. he got a younger heart
B. his recovery from the heart surgery was faster than Anthony’s
C. his exercise program was better than Anthony’s
D. his heart transplant surgery was more successful than Anthony’s
D
American Thomas Schelling and Israeli-American Robert Aumann will share the 2005 Nobel Prize in economics. Both men have greatly influenced the way conflict and business negotiations are carried out.
The two men are being honored for their work in developing an economic idea. It is called game theory.
Game theory began as the study of decision-making in competitive situations, like games. John von Neumann and Oskar Morgenstern linked the theory of games with economic activities more than sixty years ago.
In the nineteen fifties, John Nash developed an idea known as the Nash equilibrium (平衡). The Nash equilibrium is the point where all sides in a competitive situation believe they have been given the best offer they will ever get. He proved this with mathematical methods.
Mr. Nash won the Nobel Prize in economics with two other men in 1994.
Mr. Schelling used the ideas of game theory to study real-life problems, such as the arms competition between the United States and the Soviet Union forty years ago. He was interested in what influenced negotiating groups. He showed how one side might decide to harm its interests for a short period of time to make gains over a longer period. Mr. Schelling also used game theory to show how people become divided by race. He found that divided societies can result even among persons mostly willing to live near people of another race.
Mr. Aumann developed game theory mathematically so that it can be useful for different areas of study. He showed that peaceful cooperation can provide good results for all competitors in a game over a long period. This is true even among competitors with a temporary conflict of interest. Mr. Aumann also considered how reasonable decisions are made among groups. He showed that knowing what competitors know is important to decision-making.
The work of both men has influenced areas of study other than economics. International negotiators, military planners, business leaders and biologists use methods developed by Mr. Schelling and Mr. Aumann.
Mr. Schelling, an American, is a retired professor of the University of Maryland. Mr. Aumann is a citizen of both the United States and Israel. He is a retired professor of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
69. Mr. Schelling and Mr. Aumann share the 2005 Nobel Prize in economics for .
A. developing “game theory” B. developing the Nash equilibrium
C. proving “game theory” D. beginning the study of “game theory”
70. The underlined phrase “make gains” in the sixth paragraph probably refers to .
A. suffer loss B. improve health C. make money D. make a profit
71. According to Mr. Aumann, when we want to reach a reasonable decision among groups, we .
A. don’t have to be informed what our competitors think
B. must have a good understanding of what our competitors know
C. need only think about how we can make the most of our own interests
D. needn’t peacefully cooperate with our competitors to make a profit
72. We can infer from the text that .
A. Mr. Aumann used “game theory” to study the arms competition between the US and the Soviet Union.
B. Mr. Schelling and Mr. Aumann only explained the game theory mathematically
C. most of the people are willing to live near their own competitors according to Mr. Schelling
D. the game theory developed by both men is very valuable to more than economics

We become overweight when we consume more calories in food and drink than we burn up. To lose weight, we need to shift that balance and burn up more than we consume. We can accomplish that by consuming fewer calories, burning more, or both. Cutting calories doesn’t necessarily have to mean going on a “diet.” It can just mean avoiding or limiting one or more foods high in calories from fat (such as high-fat meat, cheese, or snack foods, or too much added fat), lots of sugar (like sweets or sweetened drinks), or alcohol. Cutting calories can also be accomplished by reducing our portion sizes, or by eating smaller portions of those high-calorie foods and filling up on larger portions of low-calorie vegetables and fruits.
Objective analysis shows that cuts in calorie consumption add up faster than increases in exercise. Studies show that a combination of smaller portions and changes in what we eat can easily add up to reduce calorie consumption by 500 daily, whereas burning an extra 500 calories daily can be a daunting (令人气馁的) target.

Does losing weight depend on drugs?
Why do we become overweight? That’s because we have more calories in food and drink than we need. So the best way to lose weight is to reduce the unnecessary calories. To achieve the aim, we should pay attention to our “diet”, that is to say, we should avoid some foods high in calories. On the other hand, we should build up our bodies by doing exercises.
However, if we depend on eating some drugs, it may bring some bad results. We often hear someone was ill in hospital for eating some unsuitable drugs to lose their weight. So it’s important to develop a good eating habit and do exercises because many people who are fat often like snack foods and are rarely seen doing sport. On the other hand, they shouldn’t consider it ashamed to be fat because beauty doesn’t only exist in appearance.
