2 . 阅读下面短文, 根据所给情节进行续写, 使之构成一个完整的故事。

Jack, a clerk at the local bank, was wandering alone on the street. It was a cold, silent winter night. His mind was on his wife Linda, who had been in a car accident two months ago and was now lying in a hospital bed, waiting for more money for her operation. Jack had sold everything he had, and he had tried his best to borrow money from all the people and banks he could. But the real world is cruel.

A large amount of money was still needed. To Jack, it would mean a great deal of suffering to see his wife die without any help. “I have only one option left, ”Jack said to himself. Then he went to the bank, his workplace, again. For several days, he observed the bank and planned a theft.

The next day, he went to work as usual. Everything seemed normal: he joked with his workmates and helped his clients as he always did. But no one noticed that he had brought a bigger suitcase to work, instead of the small one he always carried. At 5:00 pm, the bank closed, and the clerks and the guards had all gone home. However, at that moment, Jack was in the bathroom, and the guards didn’t notice him, of course. When the noises coming from the street were replaced by silence and everything turned dark, Jack came out from the bathroom. He first cut the lines of the alarms and monitors with tools from his new suitcase.

He was all too familiar with the equipment since he had been working there for 8 years and had been studying the security system for the past 30 days. Using a special key and some other tools, he then easily opened the doors of the safes. The bank’s security system wasn’t very good, which allowed Jack to take a lot of money. Several minutes later, Jack left the bank with a heavy bag filled with money.

5 . We are often unable to pay close attention to what we hear. Just like when we try to grab a sponge(海绵) that is full of water, some water will run out of it. But sometimes we try to remember everything a speaker says and try to take in a speaker’s every word as if every word was equally important. We try to remember all the names, all the dates, and all the places. In the process we often miss the speaker’s main point.

Erik Waldman works at a design company. Knowing he had never been good at budgeting his money, he was determined to begin thinking about his economic future. When his employer circulated an e-mail announcing a financial planning workshop(研讨会), Erik signed up right away.

The first session was about retirement planning. Simone Fisher, the lecturer, explained that 7 of 10 Americans between the ages of 22 and 35 do not have a regular savings plan. Erik wrote down every number Simone mentioned.

"If you want to have a retirement income equal to 75 percent of your current salary," Simone continued, "you will need to save at least of 6 percent of your present earnings, taking into account future inflation rates(通货膨胀率). In the meantime, I want to stress that the most important thing is to start saving now."

Erik recorded all the statistics Simone used. When she opened the floor(自由发言) for question, Erik raised his hand and said, "I have two question. When is the best time to start saving for retirement? And how can I figure out my savings target if I don’t know what inflation rates will be in the future?"

This is a typical example of losing the speaker’s point by concentrating on details. Erik had fixed his mind on remembering all the statistics in Simone’s presentation, but he blocked out the man message. Rather than trying to remember everything, we should concentrate on main ideas and evidence.
1. What does the author mean by saying "Just like when we ... run out of it."?

A．We tend to reject what others say.

B．We always try to remember all details.

C．It is difficult for us to remember all things.

D．We often fail to focus on what we are listening to.

2. During the workshop, Erik         .

A．got Simone Fisher 's main idea

B．focused on the lecture's details

C．showed little interest in the lecture

D．didn't agree with what Simone had said

3. When hearing Erik's questions, Simone would most probably think      .

A．they are very good questions

B．Erik was an excellent listener

C．it was hard to answer the questions

D．his questions were meaningless

4. The passage is written to help those who want to be        .

A．a good listener	B．a financial planner
C．an excellent lecturer	D．a successful employee

6 . Grandparents who help out occasionally with childcare in their community tend to live longer than seniors who do not care for other people，according to a study from Berlin，Germany.

“Having no contact with grandchildren at all can negatively impact grandparents’ health. This link could be deeply rooted in our evolutionary past when help with childcare was important for the survival of the human species，”said Sonja Hilbrand，one of the researchers.

The findings are drawn from data on more than 500 people over age 70．Overall，after accounting for grandparents’age and general state of health，the risk of dying over a 20-year period was one-third lower for grandparents who cared for their grandchildren，compared with grandparents who provided no childcare．

Caregiving was associated with a longer life even when the care receiver wasn’t a relative. Half of a 11 childless seniors who provided support to friends or neighbors lived for seven years after the study began，while non-helpers lived for four years on average.

“Caregiving may give caregivers a purpose of life because they may feel useful for others and society．Caregiving may be thought also as an activity that keeps caregivers physically and mentally active，” said Professor Bruno Arpino．

Arpino noted，however，that caregiving is not the only activity that can improve health and that too many caring responsibilities can take away from other beneficial activities like working，being in social clubs，or volunteering．“Children should take into account their parents’ needs，willingness，and desires and agree with them on the timing and amount of childcare，” he suggested．

“It is very important that every individual decides for him／herself，what proper amounts of help’ means，”Hilbrand said，adding，“As long as you do not feel stressed about the intensity(强度) of help you provide you may be doing something good for others as well as for yourself．”

1. What is the caregiving study based on?

A．Human evolutionary history．	B．Demand modern society．
C．Social contact between relatives．	D．Data on many elderly people．

2. In Arpino’s opinion，childcare________．

A．is sure to keep old people away from illnesses

B．allows old people to live a more meaningful life

C．creates more job opportunities for old people

D．makes social activities inaccessible to old people

3. What does the underlined part “take into account” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?

A．Limit．

B．Ignore．

C．Favor．

D．Consider．

4. What does the last paragraph tell us?

A．Grandparents can do anything in their own interests．

B．Grandparents should share more social responsibilities．

C．Proper amounts of childcare do good to grandparents．

D．Caregiving guarantees every grandparent a longer life.

Recently, a famous basketball player has caused public angry by writing on the Great Wall. In the fact, this happens in many place of interest. I had some suggestions to solve this problem.

First, make more posters to inform the public the damage of graffiti (涂鸦). Besides, punishments, such as a fine, is necessary to tourists with so bad behavior. Also, I think it’s helpfully to put up some boards along the tourist attractions that tourists can leave messages.

I’m sure with our efforts, more and more people will become concerning about protecting cultural relics.

8 . 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容 (不多于3个单词) 或括号内单词的正确形式。

When someone has     1     (deep) hurt you, it can be very difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible and it can be surprisingly    2     (benefit) to your physical and mental health. So far, studies     3    (show) that people who forgive can have more energy, better appetite and better sleep. “People who forgive show     4    (little) anger and more hopefulness, ”says Dr Frederic Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good. “So it can help reduce the tiredness out of the immune system and allow people     5    (feel) more energetic. ”

So when someone has hurt you, cool down first. Take a couple of breaths and think of something     6    gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love. Don’t wait for an     7    (apologize). “Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing, ”says Dr Luskin. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things in     8    same way. So if you wait for people to say sorry, you could be waiting for a very long time. ”

Next keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean    9     (accept) the action of the person who upsets you. Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. Finally, try to see things from the other person’s perspective. You may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance. To gain perspective, you may want to write a letter to     10    (you) from that person’s point of view.
