It was graduation day at the university where I work and a beautiful day quite unlike the first graduation I attended as a young professor．On that cold day years ago, as we watched the students walking into the hall, one of y colleagues turned to e and said, "Graduation will be one of the happiest and one of the saddest tie of your life．" At y inquiry, he answered, "Because the students you have gotten to know have to leave．"
As years went by, y previous confusion about y colleague's words no longer existed．When I cae across naughty students, I have had to rethink why I chose to be a teacher．It obviously isn't the oney．Once a forer coputer science student of ine called e, asking e if I wanted to have a change．He was working at Nintendo Corporation．His salary was higher than y current one, though I have ore education and have worked for over a decade．With y prograing skills, he said he could get e hired．I thanked hi, but declined his kind offer．
A few days before this current graduation, while working on final grades, I found a note a student had slipped in with her hoework．She thanked e for being her teacher and said the things she had learned in y class—not about ath, but about life—would be things she would reeber long after the ath skills had faded away．As I finished reading, I reebered why I had becoe a teacher．
Now, on this sunny graduation day, as I again observed the sea of blue hats and gowns, I did so with renewed dedication （奉献） and a deeper sense of satisfaction—I will always be grateful that I a a teacher．

An idea that started in Seattle's public library has spread throughout Aerica and beyond. The concept is siple: help to build a sense of counity in a city by getting everyone to read the sae book at the sae tie.
In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit(追求) to be enjoyed by all, the progra allows strangers to counicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as prooting reading as an experience to be shared in failies and schools. The idea cae fro Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched(发起) the "If All of Seattle Read the Sae Book " project in 1998. Her original progra used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to any other Aerican cities, and even to Hong Kong.
In Chicago, the ayor(市长) appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a ockingbird as the first book in the "One Book, One Chicago" progra. As a result, reading clubs and neighborhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the US, stories eerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character.
The only proble arose in New York, where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. This ay show that the idea works best in ediu-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity can be achieved. Or it ay show that New Yorkers rather issed the point, putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself.
Ultiately, as Nancy points out, the level of success is not easured by how any people read a book, but by how any people are enriched by the process, or have enjoyed speaking to soeone with who they would not otherwise have shared a word.
45. What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?
A. To invite authors to guide readers.
B. To encourage people to read and share.
C. To involve people in counity service.
D. To proote the friendship between cities.
46. According to the passage, where would the project be ore easily carried out?
A. In large counities with little sense of unity.
B. In large cities where libraries are far fro hoe.
C. In ediu-sized cities with a diverse population.
D. In large towns where agreeent can be quickly reached.
47. The underlined words “shared a word” in Paragraph 5 probably ean .
A. exchanged ideas with each other
B. discussed the eaning of a word
C. gained life experience
D. used the sae language
48. According to Nancy, the degree of success of the project is judged by .
A. the careful selection of a proper book
B. the growing popularity of the writers
C. the nuber of people who benefit fro reading
D. the nuber of books that each person reads

NASA’s ars detector (探测器), Opportunity, succeeded in finding signs that water once existed on the planet. Opportunity landed on ars in January. Scientists now believe that the planet could once have supported life.
This discovery was chosen by Science, one of the world’s leading agazines, as the ost iportant scientific achieveent of 2004 last Friday.
“This little, wheeled, one-ared box went around another planet and has done soething no huan has ever anaged,” according to Science. “It has discovered another place in the universe where life could once have existed.”
“Although we still can’t say that life could have existed in this environent, it is now certain that there was water on ars,” said Steve Squyres, one of the scientists working on the ars ission. The evidence coes fro pictures and cheical readings taken by Opportunity. It includes arks on rocks like those caused by flowing water on Earth and salty cheicals like those found in dried-out sea-beds. Scientists said the new evidence proved beyond doubt that water has existed on ars. But it is still unknown whether the water on ars was like an ocean or just ice.
While Opportunity has not found any signs of life, the presence of water eans life is possible. “In everything we know about life on Earth, there is no exaple without liquid water,” Squyres said. “So water is iportant for the search for life on ars.”
Researchers agree that a future ission (任务) should bring back physical saples (样品). But soe scientists worry about the risk that this could introduce dangerous foreign creatures to Earth. “The proble here is how to get the saples back,” Squyres replied. “I think it is our responsibility to liit any risk.”
49. ________ prove that water existed on ars.
A. The physical saples with salty cheicals
B. The arks on rocks and salty cheicals
C. Scientific achieveents of 2004
D. Creatures fro ars
50. Which of the following is TURE according to the text?
A. It is now certain that there was water on ars.
B. The water on ars was like an ocean.
C. Evidence of life on ars has been found.
D. Search for life on ars is a great risk to huans.
51. How did scientists draw the conclusion that there was water on ars?
A. The world’s leading agazine has announced the fact.
B. Scientists have taken any pictures and cheical readings on the ars.
C. Astronauts have got soe rocks fro ars.
D. Scientists have ade a study of the pictures and readings sent back by ars detector.
52. It can be inferred that, if the creatures fro ars cae to Earth, ________.
A. they would be kind to huans
B. they would be cruel to huans
C. they would be a great danger to Earth
D. it would be hard to say whether it would be a good news or bad news

Friendship is one of the basic bonds (纽带) between huan beings. While the characteristics of friendship ight vary fro one country to another, people fro all cultures not only enjoy friends but need the.
any studies have shown that teenagers who have no friends often suffer fro psychological disorders. It has been shown that teenagers, perhaps ore than any other age group, need copanionship and a sense of belonging. The negative consequences of loneliness have also been observed aong the elderly. The death of a spouse often leaves a widow or a widower totally bereft (失去). If, however, they are surrounded by friends and relatives and if they are able to articulate（清楚表达） their feelings, they are ore likely to recover fro their grief.
“No an is an island.” In other words, we are all parts of society. We all need the love, adiration, respect and oral support of other people. If we are fortunate, our friends will provide us with all of these necessary aspects of life.
As ost people observe, there are any levels of friendship. The degree or intensity of friendship varies depending on the personality of the individuals involved and the context of the relationships. Extroverts (性格外向者) enjoy being surrounded by any people whereas introverts（性格内向者）are perhaps content with fewer but ore intense friendships.
Everyone is not equally open with all their friends. The degree of intiacy (密切) is deterined by any factors. Close friends can be fored at any stage in one’s life but they are usually very rare. Not very any people have ore than a few really close friends. Irrespective of the level of intiacy, all friendships are based on reciprocity（相互性）, honesty and a certain aount of love and affection.
53. The second paragraph iplies that _____..
A. teenagers without friends will suffer fro psychological probles
B. a widow or a widower will die very soon without copanionship
C. huan beings need copanionship and a sense of belonging
D. both A and B
54. The degree of intiacy of friendship ainly depends on _____ .
A. age B. belonging C. personality D. culture
55. The author thinks that close friends _____ .
A. can be easily fored when one is young B. cannot be long-lasting

Are Training Classes or Tutors Necessary ?
Nowadays, ore and ore students attend different kinds of training classes or hire tutors to iprove their grades at the weekends.
Soe think it necessary to do so. Firstly, it’s ore effective to study with a teacher’s help than by theselves. Secondly, you can have ore chances to counicate with teachers (there are ore interaction between students and teachers.) . Besides, you can ake up for what you iss or fail to understand in classes on weekdays.
Others think it unnecessary. For one thing, students can easily for the habit of dependence. For another, students need tie for rest and recreation at weekends. What’s worse, attending training classes or hiring tutors even causes soe students not to listen attentively in their regular classes.
In y opinion, whether a training class or tutor is needed just depends. If you are really very weak at or interested in a certain subject, aybe it’s OK for you. But be sure to choose a good and suitable class or teacher, otherwise it would be a waste of tie and oney.
