In fact it was my 49 who thought up the title—“Don’t take it personally”.
50 the time I finished, I was feeling 51 confident (自信的) about it and almost gave up the idea, but in the end, I 52 to send it off to the magazine. After all I had managed to cut a long 53 short. This morning I received a letter saying that I’d 54 the second prize and my story would be 55 in three weeks’ time. How excited I was!

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
Rick Stevenson, 16 years old, spends every minute he can on the mountain. He and his friends go snowboarding every weekend. “It’s great,” he says, “The winds are so strong, the boards go 50 miles an hour.” His friend Laura Fields agrees. “No one goes skiing any more,” she says, “That’s for the old folks. ”
Rick and Laura are part of a new trend in sports. Its philosophy（purpose）is to get as close to the edge as possible. And more and more young athletes are taking part in these risky（adventurous）activities called “extreme sports” or “X-Sports”.
In the past, young athletes would play baseball. Today, they want risk and excitement—the closer to the edge, the better. They snowboard over cliffs and mountain-bike down steep mountains. They wind-surf near hurricanes and bungee-jump from towers.
Extreme sports started as an alternative（选择余地）to more expensive sports such as golf. A city kid who didn’t have the money to buy expensive sports equipment could get a skateboard and have fun. But now it has become a whole new area of sports, with specialized equipment and high levels of skill. There’s even a special Olympics for extreme sports, called the Winter X-Games, which includes snow mountain biking and ice climbing.
What makes extreme sports so popular? “People love the risk,” says Murray Nussbaum, who sells sports equipment. “City people want to be outdoors on the weekend and do something challenging. The new equipment is so much better that people can take more risks without getting hurt”. An athlete adds, “Sure there’s a risk. Once you go mountain biking or snowboarding, it’s impossible to go back to bike riding or skiing. It’s just too boring.”
Now even the older crowd is starting to join in. Every weekend groups of friends in their early thirties get together. During the week they work as computer programmers in the same office. On Sundays they rent mountain bikes that cost $ 2,000 each and ride down steep mountains together.
Extreme sports are certainly not for everyone. Most people still prefer to play basketball or watch sports on TV. But extreme sports are definitely gaining in popularity. “These sports are fresh and exciting. It’s the wave of the future.” says Nussbaum.

Shanghai Faces Aging Problem
The population of citizens aged above sixty in Shanghai City in east China has reached 2.46 million, accounting for nearly 18.6 percent of its total population, a local official said today.
Shen Zhenxin, deputy director of Shanghai Civil Affairs Bureau, says that the figure mainly shows a social problem brought by the increase in the numbers of elderly people, according to Tuesday’s China Daily.
Shanghai was the first city in the country to have an aging society-with 10.07 percent of the population of pensionable（领退休金的）age in 1979. It is predicted（told in advance）that the rise in the city’s elderly population will reach its top between 2025 to 2030, the newspaper reports.
A recent survey（study）also shows that the population above the age of 60 in China has amounted to（reached）some 132 million so far, and the figure is increasing by 3.2 percent each year.
“Yet fewer children have been born these years, so the social security（保障）system should be improved as soon as possible,” said Shen.
Shanghai has chosen some communities（社区）as pilot neighborhoods to carry out a help-each-other program in an attempt to solve the problem. People can help take care of the elderly people, and they in turn will be looked after by others when they get old, according to China Daily.
60. Which of the following is the correct way to calculate Shanghai’s population?
A. 132,000,000×0.1007 B. 2.460,000÷0.186
C. 132,000,000×0.032 D. 2.460,000×0.186
61. The main idea of Paragraph Four is about .
A. China’s going to face the same problem as Shanghai does
B. the aging problem with China is not so serous as with Shanghai
C. Shanghai is just a window for seeing China’s aging problem
D. the situation with China is getting worse than that with Shanghai
62. What should the society do to carry out the help-each-other program?
A. Elderly people help each other. B. The old and the young help each other.
C. The young help the old. D. The old help the young.
63. Which of the following will the aging problem result in?
A. People enjoy longer lives.
B. Fewer children are born each year.
C. The population above 60 is larger than that.
D. The society has to devote a lot more to old-age care.
C

Our sense of smell, which we normally take for granted, is nowadays being increasingly used for purposes which might surprise us if we realized them.
One area in which smells are created to achieve particular results is marketing. For some time producers have taken advantage of our sense of smell with regard to household goods.
When pleasant smells are passed through a store’ s air conditioning system, people tend to spend more time in the store and buy more. For example, the smell of chocolate is used in sweet stores, while the smells of leather and perfume are used in clothes stores.
In a test, people looked at the same types of shoes in two rooms---one filled with purified air, the other with a smell of mixed flowers. Eighty-four percent of the people preferred the shoes in the room with the smell of flowers. In fact, many said they would have paid up to US $ 10 more for a pair.
Smells also have other uses. Research has shown that certain smells can help to calm anxious people and increase their feeling of safety. Smells such as that of flowers and pine forests might therefore be used to relax patients in doctors’ and dentists’ waiting rooms, and to make the environment more pleasant and less stressful to them.
Some companies are experimenting with different smells to produce different effects on their workers according to the time of day.
For example, early in the morning they might put the smell of lemon in the air conditioning system to wake people up. In the middle of the morning, when the atmosphere tends to become more tense, the smell of wood could be used to calm people down. Before lunchtime the smell of melting butter would encourage people to go to lunch on time. After lunch, when people often begin to lose attention, the smell of mint would increase their watchfulness.
While some of these uses of smells may be helpful and effective, not everyone would agree with their use to control customers in stores. It has been suggested by consumers’ organizations that one way to avoid this new subconscious (无意识) pressure to buy is to go shopping when people are less likely to be influenced by smells.
68.We can conclude from the text that ________.
A. smells are widely used in different shops
B. different smells can keep people feel happy
C. smells are effective if used in suitable cases
D. hospitals take advantages of the sense of smell
69. What kind of smell is effective when the students are having a lesson according to the text?
A. Butter. B. Leather. C. Wood. D. Mint.
70. The 4th paragraph proves that ________.
A. pleasant smells attract people’s attention to stores
B. people prefer the shoes with the smell of different flowers
C. right smells increase people’s view of the value of a product
D. people want to pay more money because of good smells
71. What does the underlined word "them" in paragraph 5 refer to?
A. patients B. doctors C. smells D. waiting rooms

Moods, say the experts, are feelings that tend to become fixed, influencing one’s outlook for hours, days or even weeks. That’s great if your mood is a pleasant one, but a problem if you are sad, anxious, angry or simply lonely.
Perhaps the best way to deal with such moods is to talk them out; sometimes, though, there is no one to listen. Modern pharmacology (药理学) offers a lot of tranquilizers (镇静剂). What many people don’t realize, however, is that scientists have discovered the effectiveness of several non-drug methods to set you loose from an unwanted mood. These can be just as useful as drugs, and have the added benefit of being nonpoisonous. So next time you feel out of sorts, don’t head for the drug-store but try the following methods.
Of all the mood-altering self-help techniques, aerobic exercise seems to be the most efficient cure for a bad mood. "If you could keep up the exercise, you’d be in high spirits," says. Kathryn Lance, author of Running for Health and Beauty.
Researchers have explained biochemical and various other changes that make exercise compare favourably to drugs as a mood raiser. Physical exertion such as housework, however, does little. The key is aerobic exercise - running, cycling, walking, swimming or other repetitive and sustained activities that increase the heart rate, increase blood circulation and improve the body’s use of oxygen. Do some of the activities for at least 20 minutes a session three to five times a week.
72. What is the main subject discussed in the passage?
A. How to beat a bad mood. B. How to talk bad moods out.
C. How to do physical exercises. D. How to join in aerobic exercises.
73. According to the passage, all of the statements are true EXCEPT that ________.
A. climbing is an efficient cure for a bad mood
B. moods can have a bad effect on people’s health
C. aerobic exercise can help people get rid of bad moods
D. pharmacology has provided
people with many tranquilizers
74. "Feel out of sorts" in paragraph 2 could best be replaced by “_____”.
A. put things in order B. are in high spirits
C. are in a bad mood D. search for tranquilizers
75. It can be inferred from the passage that __________.
A. some drugs are more effective than physical exercises
B. a person does not need aerobic exercise if he is in a good mood
C. the best way to overcome a bad mood is to talk to oneself
D. when in a bad mood, one may not work very efficiently

One possible version:
Why Are Bicycles So Popular In China？
Bicycles are a convenient means of transportation. People can go wherever they like by bike on a short trip. It is easy to go to work or school by bike because most of the Chinese live not far away from where they work or study. Riding bicycles is also good exercise, which can help build people’s bodies.
What’s more，riding bicycles can save energy. China has a population of more than 1,300 million. As bicycles are not expensive, almost every family has one. Now each family in China has at least a bike instead of a car. Thus a great deal of energy is saved and serious air pollution is reduced.
That’s why bicycles are so popular in China．
