Each of us struggles for self-respect and self-worth to some degree. I spent much time trying

to achieve perfection in every aspect of my life.

I was a happy kid with a lot of friends and a supportive family. But growing up was really

36 and even scary sometimes.

During my childhood, I was constantly involved in something that

included people’s viewing

my

achievements

or

my 37

.

I

wanted

everyone’s

praise

and

accep

tance,

but

I

was

my

own

toughest

critic (

挑剔的人

).

After

I

graduated

from

high

school,

my 38

to

be

“thin”

began

to

trouble

me.

I

began

trying

to diet by 39 my food.

In the beginning, I felt great

—

attractive and successful, almost superhuman. I even thought

that I was better than everyone el

se. What I didn’t see was that I was slowly

40 myself.

People around me began to 41

my weight loss. They said with concern. “You’re losing too

much

weight.”

“Elisa,

you’re

so

thin.”

All

their

words

only

suggested

that

I

was

getting

closer

to “

42

” .

Sadly, I took my physical 43 the first important in my life, 44 that it was the way

to become successful and accepted.

Then I cut down my 45 more and more, until a 46 day consisted of half a teaspoon of

nonfat yoghurt and coffee in the morning, and a cup of grapes at night.

But my poor 47 began to cause me to lose 48 . Then one night, like many nights before,

I couldn’t sleep

, and my heart felt as though it might beat out of my chest. I tried to

49 ,

but I couldn’t. The beat

ing became so rapid and so strong that I could no longer

50 .

What

I

had

done

to

diet

nearly

caused

me

to

have

a

heart

attack.

I

stood

up,

and

immediately

fell down. I was really 51 , and I knew I needed help. My roommate rushed me to the 52 ,

beginning

the

long

road

to

my

53

.

It

took

a

lot

—

doctors,

nurses,

nutritionists,

food

supplements…

And most important, a sense of what was true about myself got back on track with reality. I

realized that, with my 54

of trying to be “perfect” on the

55 , I had sacrificed who I

was on the inside. What I know now is, we are

—

each and every one of us

—

already perfect.

Welcome to Oyster

Oyster

a

smart

credit,

Bus & Tram(

有轨电车

) Pass season tickets. It is the cheapest

for

DLR,

London

Overground

Rail services in London.

Pay as you go on your Oyster card

Using Pay as you go is cheaper than paying cash for most journeys.

Daily limit

If you’re unsure of the number of journeys you’re going to make, Oyster pay is easy for you

to use. Make as many

journeys as you like and you’ll never pay more than the daily limit for the

zones you’ve travelled in. Daily limits are calculated over a 24

-hour period, covering all the

journeys starting between 430 and 429 the next day. There are different limits for different types

of transport and times of day.

The system calculates the daily limit based on when and how you travel. Money will be taken

away from your card each time you travel, until you reach a daily limit. This includes Pay as you

go travel on bus, Tube, tram, London Overground and most National Rail services in London. River

services and the Emirates Air Line do not contribute to your daily limit. For more information,

visit /oyster.

Season tickets on your Oyster card

You can buy Travelcards and Bus & Tram Passes on Oyster. With a Travelcard, you can travel as

many times as you like on bus, Tube, London Overground and National Rail services on the dates,

and across the travel zones you’ve paid for.

Please ensure your Travelcard covers all the zones

you

travel

through.

If

your

Travelcard

includes

zone

3,

4,

5

or

6,

you

can

also

use

it

on

tram

services.

Bus & Tram Passes can be used on trams and London buses displaying the red roundel bus symbol on

the dates you’ve paid for.

The red roundel

When you first get an Oyster card, you will need to pay a

?

5 refundable (

可退款的

) deposit.

If

you

no

longer

need

your

Oyster

card,

we’ll

refund

any

remaining

pay.

B

My morning routine varies little from day to day. I walk the dog, eat breakfast at the kitchen

counter with atie and Matt, and then settle in for a day at the computer. And because I work mostly

from home, I have learned that little walks into the outside world are important for psychological

well-being. So before I begin attempting to put sentences together, I walk over to a little coffee

shop in my neighborhood, and chat with the folks behind the counter.

The coffee shop is on the other side of the historic Chesapeaker & Ohio Canal from my house.

Whenever in season, tourists line up to take a slow boat, if not to India, at least into the 19

century.

One

warm

day

last

fall,

I

turned

the

corner

to

see

one

of

the

boatmen

sitting

alone

on

the

boat,

bathed in early-morning light. He was playing the violin. The scene stopped me in my tracks. What

I witnessed could only be described as a perfect moment. Ten seconds at most. But months later I

still remember just standing there, watching, listening, and taking it all in.

We all have such moments put before us. Little surprises. Whether we’re wise enough to see

them is another thing.

I thought of the violin man one Sunday afternoon while reading the biographies of those killed

in the Columbia incident. The specialist Laurel Clark, talking from the shuttle a few days before

it was to land, said it was blissful to see the simple unexpected wonders of space, like a sunset.

“There’s a flash; the whole payload bay turns this rosy pink,” she said. “It

only lasts about

15 seconds, and then it’s gone.”

I once had a friend who had a strange habit that never stopped to amuse me, maybe because I

th

never

quite

knew

when

she

was

going

to

spring

it

on

me.

It

could

come

in

the

middle

of

a

particularly

lively

dinne

r

with

old

friends.

Out

of

the

blue,

she’d

say,

“Stop!

I

want

to

remember

this

moment.”

I realize now, after her death, what wise advice that is.

59. The author goes out for a walk every day in the morning mainly because _____.

A. she needs to walk the dog and enjoy the fresh air

B. she considers that it is good for her physical health

C. she hates to be left alone at home when others are out

D. she benefits psychologically from contacting the outside world

60. The underlined word “blissful” in

Paragraph 5 probably means _____.

A. enjoyable

B. valuable

C. agreeable

D. reasonable

61. The main purpose of the passage is to tell people to _____.

A. develop a good habit

B. enjoy life to the fullest

C. catch the valuable moments in life

D. be willin

g to follow friends’ advice

62. “I” in the passage is probably a _____.

A. violinist

C

A lot of us think that we should visit the dentist every six months. Whether those check-ups

B. writer

C. sailor

D. waitress

are really necessary is, however, a matter of debate. In 2000, three-quarters of dentists surveyed

in New York were recommending six-monthly check-ups, despite the absence of evidence. Today, many

organizations

still

recommend

six-monthly

check-ups.

But

for

several

decades

some

have

been

arguing

that

the

choice

of

six

months

as

the

ideal

space

between

visits

is

rather

questionable.

For

example,

Aubrey Sheiham, a professor of dental public health, published a paper complaining about the lack

of evidence for six-monthly check-ups. Almost 40 y

ears, he’s still making the same point.

Last year the Cochrane Collaboration performed a review of the research that had been done and

they were disappointed with what they found. The quality and quantity of the research was simply

too poor to back up the idea of six-monthly check-ups.

There’s something else we have to bear in mind. Even when a study finds, for example, that

children who go to the dentist frequently have fewer fillings, there may be other factors(

因素

)

at

work.

Those

same

children

may

have

other

advantages;

they

may

eat

more

healthily

and

have

better

quality dental equipment.

How often should you visit the dentist, then? Bodies like Nice, which provides guidance for

the

National

Health

Service

in

England

and

Wales,

say

that

the

frequency

of

dental

visits

all

depends

on the individual. They recommend that children go at least once a year because their teeth can

decay(

蛀蚀

) faster, while adults without problems can wait as long as two years. They even go as

far as to say that longer than two years is O for people who have shown commitment to caring for

their teeth.

Where does this leave the rest of us the next time we receive a card in the mail reminding us

our next dental visit is due? We’d all like an excuse to go less often, and the good news is that

if

you

don’t

have

any

problems

you

can

probably

wait

a

little

longer

than

six

months

between

visits.

But exactly how long

you can wait before your appointment with the dentist’s chair will depend

on the assessment you and your dentist make of your own risk.

63. Who supports six- monthly dental check-ups?

A. All the dentists.

B. Many organizations.

C. Aubrey Sheiham.

D. The National Health Service.

64. The research may not prove the idea of six-monthly check-ups because _____.

A. the researchers were not qualified

B. the number of the subjects was big

C. there might be other factors at work

D. there was a lack of quality dental equipment

65. We can learn from the last two paragraphs that _____.

A. people often find excuses to avoid the next dental visit

B. the frequency of dental visits varies for different people

C. people should decide when to go to the dentist by themselves

D. the healthier a person is, the less frequent the dental visits are

66. What is the best title for this passage?

A. How can we go to the dentist less?

B. Why do we need to visit our dentist?

C. Who should go to the dentist frequently?

D. How often do we need to visit our dentist?

D

Do we really know our best friends?

I

like

my

close

friends

a

lot,

and

yet,

on

an

almost

daily

basis,

they

shocked

me.

I

have

a

friend

who thinks voting is a

waste of

time; I have another friend

who never

takes any

arrangement to meet

at a given time and place seriously.

It’s

generally

held

that

friends

are

people

with

whom

we

choose

to

develop

relationships

because

we

find

their

personalities

agreeable,

or

similar

to

our

own,

and

yet

experience

regularly

contradicts

this.

What

is

a

friend,

really?

All

that

one

can

safely

say

is

that

a

friend

is

someone

one likes and wishes to see

again.

The truth is that we don’t know our friends. Numerous studies show that we te

nd to assume our

friends

agree

with

us

more

than

they

really

do.

The

striking

part

is

that

the

problem

doesn’t

appear

to lessen as a friendship deepens. When the researchers Michael Gill and Bill Swann questioned

students sharing rooms, they found that, as time passed, people became even more confident in the

accuracy

of

their

judgments

about

the

other,

and

yet,

in

reality,

the

judgments

grew

no

more

accurate.

Two people might become dear friends, yet remain ignorant about vast areas

of each other’s inner

lives.

This

seems

strange,

until

you

consider,

that

many

of

the

benefits

that

friendship

provides

don’t

necessarily

depend

on

perfect

familiarity;

they

come

from

something

closer

to

reliability.

Friendship

may

be

less

about

being

drawn

to

someone’s

persona

lity

than

about

finding

someone

willing

to keep you company, or lend an ear. A friend provides the “social

-

identity support” we desire.

You needn’t be a

close match with someone, nor deeply familiar with their mind. And once a

friendship has begun, you want to like it, if only to confirm that you made the right decision.

We don’t

want

to know everything about our friends. We don’t base friendships on what we learn

about people; we decide what to learn about people, and what to ignore, based on having decided

to be friends.

Perhaps there’s something moving about viewing friendship as an agreement to keep each other

company, ignore each other’s faults and not probe (刨根问底

) too deeply in ways that might weaken

the friends

hip. Perhaps a true friend is someone who doesn’t ask many awkward questions.

67. Why does the author tell the stories of his two friends in the first paragraph?

A. To provide background information.

B. To introduce the topic of the passage.

C. To stress the importance of friendship.

D. To show the difference between friends.

68. The underlined word “they” in

Paragraph 4 refers to _____.

A. friends

B. judgments

C. researchers

D. benefits

69. It can be concluded from the passage that _____.

A. close friends usually know each other in depth

B. real friends are people you like but don’t wish to see often

C. we do not necessarily share personalities with close friends

D. the longer we stay with friends, the more accurately we judge them

70. Which statement about friends will the author probably accept?

A. Stay friends but keep a distance.

B. It takes a long time to grow an old friend.

C. Real friends will tell you when your face is dirty.

D. True friends know all about you and still like you.
