Life Is To Be Whole
“Once a circle missed a wedge(楔子). The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its missing piece. But because it was __36__ and therefore could roll only very slowly, it __37__ the flowers along the way. It chatted with worms. It enjoyed the sunshine. It found lots of __38__ pieces, but none of them fit. So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on __39__. Then one day the circle found a piece that fit __40__. It was so happy. Now it could be whole, with nothing missing. It fit the missing piece into itself and began to roll. __41__ it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to notice the flowers or talk to the worms. When it realized how different the world seemed when it rolled so quickly, it stopped, left its __42__ piece by the side of the road and rolled __43__ away.”
The lesson of the story, I suggest, is that in some strange sense we are __44__ whole when we are missing something. The man who has __45__ is in some way a poor man.

There is a wholeness about the person who has come to terms with his __48__, who has been brave enough to __49__ his impractical dreams and not feel like a failure for doing so. There is a wholeness about the man or woman who has learned that he or she is __50__ enough to go through a tragedy(悲剧) and survive, he or she can lose someone and still feel like a __51__ person.
When we __52__ that imperfection is part of being human, and when we can continue rolling through life and appreciate it, we will have achieved a wholeness that others can only __53__. That, I believe, is __54__ God asks of us ------ not “Be perfect”, not “Don’t even make a mistake”, but “Be __55__”.

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项.
A
College graduation brings both the satisfaction of academic achievement and the expectation of a well-paid job.
But for 6,000 graduates at San Jose State this year, there’s uncertainty(不确定) as they enter one of the worst job markets in decades. Ryan Stewart has a freshly received degree in religious studies, but no job prospects(前景).
“You look at everybody’s parents and neighbors, and they are getting laid off and don’t have jobs,” said Stewart. “Then you look at the young people just coming into the workforce… it’s just scary.”
When the class of 2003 entered college the future never looked brighter. But in the four years they’ve been here, the world outside has changed dramatically(巨大地).
“Those were the exciting times, lots of opportunities, exploding offers, students getting top dollar with lot of benefits,” said Chery Allmen-Vinnidge, of the San Jose State Career Center. “Times have changed now. It’s a new market.”
Chery Allmen-Vinnidge ought to know. She runs the San Jose State Career Center, a sort of a crossroads between college and the real world. Allmen-Vinnidge says students who do find jobs after college have done their homework.
“The typical graduate who does have a job offer started working on it two years ago. They’ve prepared themselves well during the summer. They’ve had several internships（实习.” she said.
And they’ve majored in one of the few fields that are still hot—like chemical engineering, accounting, or nursing — where average starting salaries have actually increased over last year. Other popular fields (like information systems management, computer science, and political science) have seen big declines in starting salaries.
Ryan Stewart ( he had hoped to become a teacher) may just end up going back to school.
“ I’d like to teach college some day and that requires more schooling, which would be great in a dad economy.” he said.
To some students a degree may not be ticket to instant wealth. For now, they can only hope its value will increase over time.
56. The main idea of the story is that _____.
A. Ryan Stewart has not been able to find a job
B. a college career center is a crossroads between college and the real world
C. in some fields, salaries have increased in the past year
D. the class of 2003 are facing a bad market
57. Ryan Stewart _____.
A. is a teacher B. is a laid-off worker
C. majored in religious studies D. found a job as soon as he graduated
58.Which of the following things did NOT happen in college?
A. Some college students make more preparations for jobs
B. The number of teaching jobs increased.
C. Starting salaries in chemical engineering increased
D. The number of jobs with benefits decreased.
59. According to the passage, which of the following majors has the best job prospects?
A. Information systems management. B. Accounting.
C. Computer science. D. Teaching.
( B )
A picture, a calendar or even a balloon may be the best way for millions of people living in China’s vast country areas to learn about AIDS, one of the biggest threats to public health in the world today.
China has decided to use user-friendly methods including exhibitions, VCDs and TV programmes to spread knowledge of the disease across the nation to try to keep it in check.
Educating people nationwide about AIDS is the top priority to prevent the disease from getting out of hand. The farmers will be given knowledge in the easiest way that they can understand.
A recent survey from the commission of more than 7,000 people in China showed that nearly 20 percent of them had never heard of AIDS before. Just over 71percent said they knew AIDS was highly infectious, but most of them had no clear idea of how the disease could be spread. Just over 62 percent said they knew that they could do things in advance to prevent themselves catching AIDS but they didn’t know what these measures were.
The month-long survey, carried out last December, talked to people in seven counties and cities across China including both developed coastal areas and the less-developed inland areas. The interviewees ranged from 15 to 49 years old, and country residents were about 63% of the total surveyed.
Chinese residents, especially those in the country, have very little knowledge about what AIDS is all about, not to mention prevention and treatment. By the end of last year, there were 22,517 known HIV/AIDS cases in China. However, more than 6,000,000people in China have been infected.
Since 1985, China has discovered 880 patients with AIDS --- 466 of them have died. Sharing needles, prostitution and contaminated blood transfusions are major ways for HIV to spread. A lack of education has been the biggest difficulty against nationwide efforts to prevent AIDS, especially in the countryside.
60.According to the passage, we can know that ____________
A. AIDS is not serious in the Chinese mainland
B. most people in the country know little about what AIDS is about
C. China has taken many measures to cure AIDS
D. TV programmes are the only useful way of spreading knowledge of AIDS
61.What is the purpose of writing the passage?
A. To show the writer’s concern about public health
B. To introduce AIDS to readers
C. To call on people to fight against AIDS
D. To tell us people are short of knowledge of AIDS
62. The greatest difficulty against nationwide efforts to prevent AIDS lies in _____.
A. people’s misunderstanding B. a shortage of money
C. its infection D. a lack of education
63.What does the underlined phrase “ keep it in check” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. prevent it from increasing B. take actions to treat it
C. make sure it is serious D. cause it to go slowly
( C )
Anybody running a company knows that a well—planned conference can greatly improve performance of that business．The main reason for this is that it takes your employees away from the daily workplace and offers them somewhere fresh for a short time．However，unless the conference is well thought out it will not have the best results and you will have wasted a great deal of money．Here are some tips for you．
The first step is to find the right place．Can your employees easily reach the conference center? Is it near a railway station? Is it close to a good，fast road? Has it plenty of suitable parking space? If you are going to choose a hotel，then perhaps the hotel has cheaper rates at weekends or，if it is in a popular tourist area，midweek rates may be cheaper．Furthermore, you need to think whether there is a bathroom．After a day’s meeting，maybe your employees would like to have a hot water bath．Or maybe there are other needs to satisfy depending on your employees’ taste.
Another important requirement is food and drink．Breakfast is a time when people can relax before work begins，but you may not want a long break for lunch in the middle of the day．Buffet(自助餐) lunches are very popular for this reason．Then there is dinner，which most employees consider a reward for a day’s hard work!
Whatever your needs are，it is essential to think ahead if you want a successful conference.
64. In the text the writer is trying to ________.
A．complain about a conference center
B．describe what makes a good conference center

Some students think that a nice face is a letter of recommendation. Good appearance often makes a big difference in social communication, competition, finding jobs and so on .Not only can it help you become more confident, but also it helps you be impressed. Physical beauty is likely to draw much attention.
Other students have different opinions. They hold the idea that good appearance will buy no beef . Spiritual beauty is more important. A beautiful person is not the one with a good looking , but the one with a broad and kind heart.
Actually , as is known to all ,the standard of beauty changes with different societies, cultures and nations. Even if you don’t have a nice face, you still can be attractive if you are a person with a kind heart and broad intelligence
