"Are you ready?" is what she heard. Then she said, "I shook my head no, and then they said 'yes' and it

11、was announced again." It was four days after that life changing moment for the seventeen-year-old high school student from Destrehan, Louisiana -- she was still on cloud nine. "I was so shocked! I never believed that it could actually really happen." Present in the audience that day were: her moth

12、er and father, older brother, her friends, and her dance teacher. Understanding why members of her family and her friends would be there,?AT?asked why her dance teacher had traveled so far to see her compete. "She's always been my role model. I've danced with her since I was six. She's been through

13、 so many difficulties and came through them all. I've learned to get over bad life's experiences and learned how to move on because of her." One of those bad life's experiences for Shelley happened three years ago when her brother Brad was killed in a drunk driving accident. He was 18. She found wr

14、iting helped her get through the rough days. She said, "I write a lot about my brother. I write a lot, a lot, a lot..."

15、youth about safe driving, in addition to many other things to help the youth. ???? When?AT?asked Miss Teen USA if she had any advice for our readers, she said, "Don't let anyone change you.

18、u can recognize on the street, an idol is someone who will cause a stir at a public appearance. Without fans, an idol is just an ordinary person, like you and me. As Reese Witherspoon once said? while? announcing? the? Oscar? for? best? make-up,? movie? stars?? look? just? like? people?? in documen

19、taries(紀(jì)錄片) if you see them without make-up. I was once invited to a private party where about half of the guests were stars and the other half entertainment reporters. Guess what? The good-looking ones were the reporters because they tend to be young, and they glow without make-up. Some idols a

20、re born; some are made. Most idols are created by a machine called the entertainment industry. They may have some charms and talent, but not enough to become famous. They are the raw material out of which a star, or even an idol, is made. An army of behind-the-scenes assistants will hype(炒作) or even

21、 make up their virtues and hide their shortcomings. Paris Hilton is the kind of star who possesses no real talent but yet is quite well-known. This is the result of endless hype. If you are thrust into the limelight often enough, you can become a celebrity without having any talent. Television con

22、test shows create a much fairer more transparent platform where young people can compete and showcase their talent. The soap opera is another platform for idol making.

Jones chose the popular Dance Revolution video game at home to increase his activity. He had lost about 10 pounds by changing his diet. Now, after

27、two weeks’ playing the game, he has lost another 10! ?????? A health study is being done by an insurance company. The company hopes that the game will lead to better health and lower costs. “Obesity claims (肥胖索賠) last year cost us $ 77 million. We have to cut those costs,” said a member of the insu

28、rance group. The company provides a game console (游戲主機(jī)), a dance mat and software for the six-month, $ 60,000 study. ?????? The study is more than a commercial thing of an insurance company. It is widely supported by physical education and health professionals. ?????? In West Virginia, 43% of the

34、 Claims （五） 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 u

35、pon 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 oppo

36、site things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they?sour the pleasure of society, hurt 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

37、 and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. 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 chang

38、e 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 hurt many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts th

39、em 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 m

40、any 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 v

41、ery inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels. 1. People who are unhappy _______. A. always consider things differently from others B. always discover the unpleasant side of certain things C. usually misunderstand what others think or say D. usually are affected by th

42、e results of certain things 2. The phrase “sour the pleasure of society” most nearly means “_______”. A. makes others unhappy??????????????? B. has a good taste with social life C. tend to scold?others openly??????????D. enjoy the pleasure of life 3. We can conclude from the passage that _______

43、. 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 （六） “The child has become part of the management of family life, ”says Adele Schwartz, research

44、director for Stars for Kids, a children’s market---research firm． “This is a big role change in family life． Housework is changing．It used to be to take out the garbage and walk the dog．This is a little bit bigger than that．” ?? Three---quarters of students between the ages of 8 and 14 say they hav

45、e completed an online transaction（交易），according to a national survey on May 9．Nearly one---fourth of the 6,000 young people asked say they shop with their parents’ credit cards, 26 percent use gift cards, and 8 percent say they use their own credit card．Almost half say they help with electronic tran

46、sactions because their parents are helpless online．One—third help because their parents don’t have enough time to shop． ??? “Kids do a large amount of comparison shopping,”Ms．Schwartz says, “including clothing, household items, family vacations, and even large items like a car． ??? All this cyber-

47、--help “clearly gives kids a power that they might not have had before,”says Gary Rudman, in San Francisco．“Parents still make the decisions, but kids have more and more effect than ever before, because they have access to information．They are more involved with the household, so they have more effe

48、ct on some of the decisions．” ??? Parents have different opinions about letting their children use credit cards online．Mr．Rudman Says, “Some parents are open to it, others are not for it．”?? ???

49、ing, but it’s always with our guidance．He doesn’t understand that a lot of the pop—up advertisement ‘You’ve won this！’or ‘You can get this for $1．’is a scam．” (????? ）1．___ is playing a more and more important role in the family management. ?????? ? A. The Internet????????????????????????????

52、of the pop—up advertisement． （七） The motor vehicle has killed and disabled more people in its brief history than any bomb or weapon ever invented. Much of the blood on the street flows essentially from uncivil behavior of drivers who refuse to respect the legal and moral rights of others. So the m

53、assacre (大屠殺)on the road may be regarded as a social problem . In fact, the enemies of society on wheels are rather harmless people just ordinary people acting carelessly, you might say. But it is a principle both of law and common morality that carelessness is no excuse when one’s actions could br

54、ing death or damage to others. A minority of the killers go even beyond carelessness to total negligence. Researchers have estimated that as many as 80 percent of all automobile accidents can be attributed to the psychological condition of the driver. Emotional upsets can distort drivers’ reactions

55、, slow their judgment, and blind them to dangers that might otherwise be evident. The experts warn that it is vital for every driver to make a conscious effort to keep one’s emotions under control. Yet the irresponsibility that accounts for much of the problem is not confined to drivers. Street wal

56、kers regularly violate traffic regulations, they are at fault in most vehicle walker accidents; and many cyclists even believe that they are not subject to the basic rules of the road. Significant legal advances have been made towards safer driving in the past few years. Safety standards for vehicl

57、e have been raised both at the point of manufacture and through periodic road-worthiness inspections. In addition, speed limits have been lowered. Due to these measures, the accident rate has decreased. But the accidents experts still worry because there has been little or no improvement in the way

58、drivers’ behave. The only real and lasting solution, say the experts, is to convince people that driving is a skilled task requiring constant care and concentration. Those who fail to do all these things present a threat to those with whom they share the road. 1 . What is the author’s main purpose

59、in writing this passage? A. To warn drivers of the importance of safe driving. B. To discuss traffic problems and propose possible solutions. C. To show that the motor vehicle is a very dangerous invention. D. To promote understanding between careless drivers and street walkers. 2. The reason

60、why traffic accidents may be regarded as a social problem is that _____. A. autos have become most destructive to mankind B. people usually pay little attention to law and morality C. the lack of virtue is becoming more severe D. civilization brings much harm to people 3. Why does the author

61、 mention the psychological condition of the driver in Paragraph 3? A. To give an example of the various reasons for road accidents. B. To show how important it is for drivers to be emotionally healthy. C. To show some of the inaccurate estimations by researchers. D. To illustrate the hidden tens

62、ions in the course of driving. 4. The following is mentioned as being responsible for the road accidents EXCEPT _____. A. careless bicycle-riders??? ???????????????????????? B. mindless people walking in the street C. irresponsible drivers???? ????????????????????????? D. irresponsible manufactu

63、rer of automobiles （八） Men are spending more and more time in the kitchen encouraged by celebrity (名人) chefs like Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Oliver，according to a report from Oxford University. The effect of the celebrity role models，who have given cooking a more manly picture，has combined with a m

64、ore general drive towards sexual equality and men now spend more than twice the amount of time preparing meals than they did in 1961. According to the research by Prof.Jonatahn Gershuny，who runs the Centre for Time Research at Oxford，men now spend more than half an hour a day cooking，up from just 1

65、2 minutes a day in 1961. Prof.Gershuny said，“The man in the kitchen is part of a much wider social trend. There has been 40 years of sexual equality，but there is another 40 years probably to come.” Women，who a generation ago spent nearly two hours a day cooking，now spend just one hour and seven mi

66、nutes—a great fall，but they still spend far more time in the kitchen than men. Some experts have named these men in aprons as “Gastrosexuals (men using cooking skills to impress friends)”，who have been inspired to pick up a kitchen knife by the success of Ramsay，Oliver as well as other male celebrity chefs such as Hugh Fearnley－Whittingstall，Marco Pierre White and Keith Floyd. “I was married in 1974.When my father came to visit me a few weeks later，I was wearing an apron when I opened the door
