Tess was eight years old. Her little brother Andrew was very sick and their parents were completely out of money. She heard Daddy say to her tearful Mother, "Only a
miracle can save him now."
Tess took her money and made her way six blocks to Rexall's Drug Store.
"And what do you want?" the chemist asked in an annoyed tone of voice. "I'm talking to my brother from Chicago whom I haven't seen for ages."
"Well, I want to talk to you about my brother," Tess answered back in the same annoyed tone. "He's really sick. He has something bad growing inside his head and my Daddy says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost?"
"We don't sell miracles here, little girl. I'm sorry but I can't help you," the chemist said, softening a little.
"Listen, I can help you." The chemist's brother was a well-dressed man. He asked Tess, "What kind of miracle does your brother need?"
"I don't know," Tess replied. "Mommy says he needs an operation. But my Daddy can't pay for it, so I want to use my money."
"How much do you have?" asked the man from Chicago. "One dollar and eleven cents," Tess answered. "And it's all the money I have, but I can get some more, if I need to."
"Well，what a coincidence (巧合)," smiled the man. "A dollar and eleven cents － the exact price of a miracle for your little brother. Take me to where you live. Let's see if 1 have the kind of miracle you need."
That man was Dr. Carlton Armstrong, a surgeon in neurosurgery (神经外科). The operation was completed without charge and it wasn't long until Andrew was home again and doing well．

In the United States, when one becomes rich, he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what "keeping up with the Joneses" is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.
The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $ 125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants. Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors.
It was like a race, but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They had to move back to an apartment in New York City. Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it "Keeping up with the Joneses" because "Jones" is a very common name in the United States. "Keeping up with the Joneses" came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momand's series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.
People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are "Joneses" in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.
60. Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they ______.
A. want to be as rich as their neighbors
B. want others to know or to think that they are rich
C. don't want others to know they are rich
D. want to be happy
61. It can be inferred from the story that rich people like to ________.
A. live outside New York City B. live in New York City
C. live in apartments D. live with many neighbors
62. What's the author's attitude to keeping up with the Joneses?
A. Negative. B. Positive.
C. Supportive. D. Objective.
C
There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.
People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation (模仿). It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.
Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.
63. People who are unhappy _______.
A. always consider things differently from others
B. usually are affected by the results of certain things
C. usually misunderstand what others think or say
D. always discover the unpleasant side of certain things
64. We can conclude from the passage that _______.
A. we should pity all such unhappy people
B. such unhappy people are dangerous to social life
C. people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness
D. unhappy people can not understand happy persons
65. If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should _______.
A. prevent any communication with them
B. show no respect and politeness to them
C. persuade them to recognize the bad effects
D. quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes
66. In this passage, the writer mainly _______.
A. describes two types of people
B. laughs at the unhappy people
C. suggests the unhappy people should get rid of the habits of unhappiness
D. tells people how to be happy in life
D
The Apple iPhone's impact was widely evident (明显的) at the Consumer Electronics Show, as new touch－screen devices could be found everywhere.
The consumer electronics industry came unbuttoned in Las Vegas this week. At the annual Consumer Electronics Show, companies from around the world unveiled many devices boasting (以拥有…而自豪) touch - sensitive technology, rather than traditional push-button controls.
Motorola, Sony, and LG Electronics all showed off touch-screen phones this week. Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates praised and offered a touch-screen computer, the Surface, related to a flat panel TV for a tabletop. Even camera makers, such as Kodak，included touch-screen LCDs in their devices. Touch-screen tech has been in use for years，but the push to develop and weave it into consumer electronics gathered steam with the June introduction of Apple's iPhone. "The touch-screen industry is really getting hot," says Jennifer Colegrove, a senior analyst at iSuppli. "Since the iPhone came out, there are a lot of companies that did not have a relationship with touch screens before that decided, 'OK, I want to make a touch screen, too.'"
The touch－screen tech ecosystem now includes more than 100 companies specializing in everything from smudge-proof (防污的) screens to sensors (传感器) able to detect fingers before they even contact the screen. Sales of leading touch-screen technologies，such as those used in mobile phones and navigation (航行) devices，are expected to rise to $ 4.4 billion in 2012, up from $ 2.4 billion in 2006，according to iSuppli estimates.
67. What did the writer think about the Apple iPhone？
A. The Apple iPhone was beautiful.
B. The Apple iPhone was popular.
C. The Apple iPhone was expensive.
D. The Apple iPhone was attractive.
68. What is the meaning of the underlined word "unveiled" in the second paragraph？
A. Invented. B. Unlocked.
C. Discovered. D. Showed.
69. The touch-screen tech was used in consumer electronics mainly because of _______.
A. traditional push-button controls
B. Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates
C. the introduction of Apple's iPhone
D. the touch-screen tech ecosystem
70. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The touch-screen technology will disappear.
B. The touch-screen technology will be replaced by traditional push-button controls.
C. The touch-screen technology will be as important as traditional push-button controls.
D. The touch-screen technology will be more widely used in electronics devices.

Have you ever seen any students whose trousers hang so low you can see their underwear? What do you think of that? Fashionable? Some of today's teenagers are big fans of such a look. 71. __________
The headmaster of a school in central Italy has asked students to stop wearing low-rise jeans that expose underwear and parts of the body. His request came after a class trip. One day, he saw one boy's baggy trousers slide to his feet. 72. ____________
But in Italy, a nation that takes fashion very seriously, the suggestion caused a debate among parents, teachers and students. The issue is whether the headmaster's request will limit students' freedom- or whether dress in Italian schools is too casual.
73. _________ "We do not want to kick fashion out," the headmaster explained, "but extremes (极端) of fashion like this are not right in school." Many other schools have now requested that their students also stop wearing such trousers.
74._________ Ludovica Gaudio, 14, wore extremely low trousers exposing orange underwear in class. It was cold, so she wore a matching orange scarf. 75._______________ "I don't really feel comfortable in those sort of jeans," said Sarah Lattanzi, "in winter, when dressed like that, it's quite cold and I am afraid my stomach will ache."
A. But recently this trend has been at the center of an argument in Italian middle schools.
B. A parents' group praised the move in favor of good taste, while others advised schools to stop worrying about fashion and fix up old school buildings.
C. He pointed out that this way of dressing is not suitable for school.
D. Most students have simply ignored the request.
E. Another 14-year-old said she would probably respect the request, simply for practical reasons.
F. Let us see that Italian students react differently to schools' requests.
G. Schools should pay attention to things more important than students' clothes.

Dear John,
This summer I will go to study at London University, but I don't know how to adapt myself to the new life.
I hear that many freshmen are at a loss what to do when they are in a foreign country. Feeling lonely and homesick, they find it much harder to get used to the new culture, diet and climate. Most of them can't take good care of themselves in their everyday life. Besides, it is difficult to find a satisfying host and fully understand what the teachers teach in class since they speak English all the time.
Could you tell me how to deal with these problems so that I will be able to suit the university life in the future?
Yours,
Li Hua

M: Good morning. Smart Hairdresser.
W: Good morning. I'd like to make an appointment please, for three o'clock this afternoon, with Marcel.
M: Let me see… I'm sorry Marcel's busy at three. Can you suggest another day, madam?
W: No. I've an important party to attend tonight and I must have my hair done before 5. So how about 3:30?
M: I'm afraid Marcel is busy all afternoon. I'm terribly sorry, madam. But you should always book in advance.
W: I know, I know. But it's a short notice to me, too.
M: Then may I suggest Tom O'neil. He is just as good as Marcel.
W: But Marcel always does my hair. He knows what style I usually wear.
M: But everybody says Tom can quickly think up the best style for a particular customer.
W: OK, then. What time?
M: Er… could you please be here at 2:45? You'll be his first customer this afternoon.
W: That would be nice then. Thank you. You're really very helpful.
M: You're welcome.

M: Hi, Monica!
W: Hi, Peter!
M: I called you last night, but you were out. What do you think we can do this week? What are you doing on Tuesday night? There's a great show at the Global Theatre.
W: Tuesday night? Oh, sorry, I'm planning to finish my composition. It has to be in on Wednesday morning.
M: Oh, well, never mind. How about Wednesday? Why don't we go out for dinner, just you and me, nice and romantic. We could go to the little restaurant you like so much.
W: That sounds like a good idea, but I think I might help my roommate clean up the flat. We're having some friends in on Thursday night, so we want the place to look nice.
M: Well, that means you're going to be busy on Thursday night, too?
W: I'm afraid so.
M: I suppose you're busy on Friday night, too. I had planned to invite you to a concert.
W: Well, I was going to stay in since I've been busy all these late nights. But, sure, I'd love to go and listen to some music. What time is it?

M: Where did you put my new blue tie?
W: It's right there in the wardrobe with the other ties.
M: There's a green one and a couple of brown ones, but no blue one.
W: Here it is in your drawer. You must have put it there when you brought it home.
M: I suppose so. Does it look OK with this green shirt?
W: I think so. We'd better hurry up, or we're going to be late. The Johnsons said they would come at 7:30.
M: Oh, it's 6:45 now. Sue isn't here to take care of the children yet.
W: She'll be here at 7:30. That still gives us time to get there.
M: Who else is coming tonight?
W: The Brown and the Franks. And Mrs. Johnson's sister will be there too.
M: Well, I think we'd better go down. Sue should be here pretty soon.

W: You, know, Larry. We've got a new manager in our department.
M: Oh? You hoped to get to job, didn't you?
W: Yes, I did.
M: I'm sorry. That's too bad. Who is it? Who got the job, I mean?
W: Someone called Drexel, Carl Drexel. He's been with the company only two years. I've been here longer. And I know more about the job, too.
M: Hmm. Why do you think they gave it to him and not you?
W: Because I'm the wrong sex, of course!
M: You mean you didn't get the job because you're a woman?
W: Yes, that was probably it. It hasn't fair!
M: What sorts of clothes does he wear?
W: A dark suit, white shirt, and a tie. Why?
M: Listen, Sylvia. Perhaps that had something to do with it.
W: You mean you think I didn't get the job because I come to work in jeans and a sweater?
M: It's possible, isn't it?
W: Do you really think I should wear different clothes?
M: We… perhaps you should think about it.
W: Why should I wear a skirt or dress?
M: I'm not saying you should. I'm saying you should think about it. That's all!
W: Why should I do that? I'm good at my job! That's the only important thing.
M: Hmm. Perhaps it should be the only important thing. But it isn't. Not in this company.

Do you read reviews before you see a movie? I used to do that, but I usually wished I hadn't. I used to read so much about a movie in advance that often I ended up not going to see it at all. The writers point out everything that is wrong with a film, and seldom mention anything good about it. They also tell us the important things and even the ending of the movie. I think they have seen so many movies that they have forgotten what it is like to enjoy watching one.
Lately I have changed the way I choose movies to watch. Now I never read the reviews before a movie. I read them afterwards, if at all. I don't watch the talk shows where people discuss movies and I don't ask other people what they think about it. Now, I enjoyed myself more.
