The young man asked for a chance. Finally the expert agreed and told the youth: “Be here tomorrow.”The next morning the expert put a jade stone（玉石）in the man’s hand and told him: “Hold it!” The expert then went about his work: cutting, weighing, and setting gems. The boy felt a bit strange but he said nothing. He just sat quietly and waited.The following morning the expert again placed the jade stone in the young man’s hand and told him to hold it. On the third, fourth, and fifth day the expert repeated the work.On the sixth day the young man held the jade stone, but could no longer stand the silence. “Sir,” he said, “when am I going to learn something?”“You’ll learn,” the expert replied and went about his business. The young man had to keep on sitting quietly and waiting.Several more days went by and the young man felt more and more disappointed.One morning, as the expert came and asked him to hold out his hand, he was about to blurt out (爆发) that he could go on no longer.

It's unsure how long the virus can survive on the surfaces of objects.◆If the H1N1 flu infections happen in your area, you should avoid being in crowds of people there. People can be infected with the virus for several days before they show any signs of infection.◆If you start feeling ill with cold or flu-like symptoms (症状)，do not go to school or work.

A woman marrying at the end of the 19th century probably has been in her middle 20's and would be likely to have seven or eight children. By the time the youngest was 15, the mother would have been in her early 50's and would expect to live a further 20 years, during which chance and health made it hard for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children.Usually a woman's youngest child will be 15 when she is 45 and she can be expected to live another 35years and is likely to get paid work until 60.This important change in women's life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school and took a fulltime job. However, when they married they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is 16, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more return to work later. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties of family life.48. We learn from this passage that in the 19th century .A. there were more children in the world than there are todayB. there were more women in poor health than there are todayC. women spent a greater part of their lives taking care of children than they do todayD. women married younger than they do today49. One reason why a married woman of today may take a job is that .A. she had to help her husband support the familyB. she is usually younger when her children are old enough to look after themselvesC. she feels lonely at home when her children grow upD. she hopes to change the world a bit by doing so50. Many girls are now likely to .A. continue working until they are going to have a babyB. leave school as soon as they canC. marry early so that they can get better jobsD. give up their jobs after they get married51. Now a husband probably .A. takes a part-time job so as to help at homeB. does almost all of the houseworkC. feels unhappy about his wife's going out to workD. plays a greater part in looking after the childrenDRecently, a professor in the United States has written a book called Money and the Meaning of life. He has discovered that how we deal with money in our day-to-day life has more meaning than we usually think. One of the exercises he asked his students to do is to keep record of every penny they spend for a week. From the way they spend their money, they can see what they really value in life.He says our relation with others often becomes clearly defined（阐明）when money enters the picture. You might have wonderful friendship with somebody and you think that you are a very good friend. But you will know him only when you ask him to lend you some money. If he does, it brings something to the relationship that seems stronger than ever before. Or it can suddenly weaken the relationship if he doesn't. This person may say that he has a certain feeling, but if it is not carried out in the money world, there is something less real about it.Since money is so important to us, we consider those who have a lot of it to be very important. The writer interviewed some millionaires (百万富翁) in researching his book.Question: What is the most surprising thing you have discovered about being rich, because you are a self-made man?Answer: The most surprising thing is how people give me so much respect. I am nothing. I do not know much. All I am is rich.People just have an idea of making more and more money, but What is it for? How much do I need for any given purposes in my life? In his book, the professor uncovered (揭示) an important need in modern society: to bring back the idea that money is an instrument rather than the end. Money plays an important role in the material (物质的) world, but expecting money to give happiness may be missing the meaning of life.52. According to the first paragraph, people have not realized __________.A. how important money is in their day-to-day lifeB. that their understanding of life is more important than moneyC. that money is more important than their lifeD. how one spends money shows what is important to him53. The writer seems to believe that asking your friend to lend you some money__________.A. will develop your friendshipB. will do harm to your friendshipC. is a good way to test your friendshipD. is a good way to end your friendship54. What can we learn about the millionaire from his answer in the interview?A. He doesn't think that being rich is worth so much attention.B. He does not think that he is a very important person.C. He does not feel that he is well educated.D. He does not consider himself to be very successful.55. What does the American professor want to explain in his book?A. Money is an end.B. Money is unimportant.C. Money is everything.D. Money is a means.四、综合填空选择正确单词的适当形式填空，每空限填一词（本大题10小题，每小题1分，共10分）example, important, watch, prevent, good, when, take, however, body, oftenMost of us use alarm clocks to wake up at the right time for school or work. We look at our 56 to know the right time to catch a bus or train. 57 , there is also a right time to eat, sleep, do sports, and 58 medicine, too. We can’t look at a clock for the right time for these activities. We must listen to the clock inside our 59 : our biological clocks.Today, doctors are learning more about chronobiology: the study of biology clocks. They are learning about the 60 of time for our bodies. For 61 , it is best for people to go to sleep at the same time every night and to eat only 62 they’re hungry. Also, doctors have discovered that some illnesses, such as heart diseases, happen most 63 in the morning. This information tells them that the 64 time to take heart medication may be at night.
