As a young girl growing up in the 1930s, I always wanted to fly a plane, but back then it was almost unheard of for a woman to do that.

We went up directly high in the air and right back down, moving around very __37__. During that time, I hoped I could skydive（延缓张伞跳伞）some day and my husband encouraged me. So when I heard there was a chance to let my dream come true, I decided to __38__ it.However, my children were very nervous about it. They __39__ me to talk things over with my doctor before that.

AHere are some interesting places for you to enjoy yourself in while you are staying in Beijing.Many universities now have websites. Use them as a chance to ask the universities all the questions you want.Visit education exhibitions（展览会）. You’ll be able to find out more by talking to teachers from different universities, and they can be found easily at the same time.Go to see the university if you can. If this is not possible because of the cost, do some research and find out where the university is as well as the environment around it. It shouldn’t be too hard to do that with programs like Google Maps.51. How many suggestions are mentioned in the passage?A. Six.B. Severn.C.Eight. D. Nine.52. According to the passage, if you’re going to study abroad, what should you do first?A. Think of the cost.B. Find out a university.C. Choose the course.D. Check the teachers’ability.53. Which is the easiest way to get to know different universities?A. Check the websites.B. Visit education exhibitions.C. Use Google Maps.D. Go to see the universities.DChristmas is a time for shopping. But I think those of us who live in large cities in Asia would be cheating ourselves if we said this is the only time we are busy shopping. No, from Bangkok to Singapore, from Shanghai to Manila, shopping—especially shopping in large shopping centers—is a year-round activity.Shopping centers are good. They show Asia’s surprising economic（经济的）growth, and how far we have come in such a short time. For many of the older generation who can remember a time when everyone lived in villages and there was no running water, the air-conditioned shopping center means comfort, choice, luxury（豪华）and better times.Now, it seems our usual activities happen in the shopping center—it’s where we shop, eat, watch movies, meet our friends or just generally walk around.Further more, we have come to regard shopping centers as important landmarks or tourist attractions（吸引）. Whole generations of Asians are growing up to think that, besides home and school, the shopping center is the most natural place to be.My idea about shopping centers is not that they are often big buildings that look quite different from other parts in a city, or that they promote（促进）shopping at a time when our planet can hardly afford it. My main idea about shopping centers is that they don’t really seem to make us happy. The large advertisements outside the stores could make us think that if we only had this pair of jeans, or if we hung out at this café, then we could feel more successful. But once we buy something, we only want to buy something more—as everyone already knows.Shopping centers, even though they try to look as welcoming as possible, can be unkind places. To make us buy, they must make us feel that we are short of something, or that everyone else has something we do not yet own. We must want to surpass others or at the very least to keep up. How can this thought always trying to be cool bring us true joy?The saddest thing is that the modern shopping center has stopped us from many beautiful, necessary and important activities. We have no one to blame（责怪）but ourselves. Instead of shopping, we could be cooking, visiting a nearby waterfall, going to the beach, reading a novel, taking a long walk, playing a sport, learning a dance or visiting each other’s homes.Every time we have a spare piece of land, all we can think of building on it is yet another shopping center. Perhaps instead, we should be building libraries, theatres, museums, sports halls, public swimming pools, parks—the list is endless. We might even consider leaving that land alone. This is something that the shopping center may have caused us to forget—in order to be happy, we must create as well as consume（消费）.57. What is the writer’s attitude towards shopping centers?A. He likes them very much.B. He doesn’t like them at all.C. He likes them only a little.D. He doesn’t like all of them.58. Why do more and more shopping centers appear in some Asian countries?A. Because economy in the world develops very fast.B. Because shopping centers have attracted tourists all over the world.C. Because people go shopping in large shopping centers all year round.D. Because shopping centers have become an important part in everyone’s life.59. What is the greatest disadvantage of shopping centers, according to the writer?A. They don’t seem to make us happy.B. They lead us to buy more and more things.C. They force us to give up many other activities.D. They have us fall into endless competition with others.60. Which of the following is not true?A. It is very easy for us to find a shopping center in a big city.B. There are usually all kinds of services in a shopping center.C. The government must be responsible for the writer’s sadness.D. Besides shopping, there’re many other activities we can enjoy.七、阅读短文还原句子（共8分，每小题2分）阅读短文，根据上下文意思，将方框中的句子还原到短文中适当位置。
