Almost everyone has some kind of hobby. It may be anything from collecting stamps 48 making model airplanes. Some hobbies are very expensive, 49 others don’t cost anything at all. Some collections are worth a lot of money; others are valuable only to 50 owners.
I know a man who has a coin collection worth several thousand dollars. A short time ago he bought a rare fifty-cent piece worth $250！He was very happy about his purchase (buying) and thought 51 price was reasonable. My youngest brother collects matchboxes. He has almost 600 of them but I doubt 52 they are worth any money. However, to my brother they are extremely valuable. Nothing makes him happier 53 to find a new matchbox for his collection.
That’s 54 a hobby means, I guess. It is something we like to do in our spare time simply for the fun of it. The value in dollars is not important, but the pleasure 55 it gives us is.

A woman was walking her dog along a beach in New Zealand in late June when she saw something that looked like a white ball in the sand. It turned out to be a young Emperor penguin that was lost. At his age, he should have been close to Antarctica, swimming for fish and playing on the ice floes(浮冰). But this penguin started swimming north and just kept going.
The penguin attracted a lot of attention in New Zealand. It has been 40 years since an Emperor penguin was last seen there. Researchers at the Department of Conservation were called in. They decided to watch the penguin closely, but not to disturb him in any way. Many New Zealanders came to Peka Peka Beach to look at the elegant penguin. They were careful to keep their dogs away from him so he wouldn’t be frightened.
The public nicknamed the animal Happy Feet. Researchers started to notice that Happy Feet didn’t seem well. It turned out that he had been eating the sand from the beach, likely thinking it was snow.
The public raised more than 11,000 pounds for an operation to get the sand out of his stomach. The operation was a success, and Happy Feet was taken to a zoo in Wellington, NZ. A group of experts met to decide how to help Happy Feet return to the wild.
Last Sunday, they put him on a boat called Tangaroa, in a specially built ice-filled box and took him into the ocean which is his natural habitat. He took one last look at his human helpers and then dived into the ocean.

If a child has a learning problem before he leaves the Second or Third Grade, it’s difficult for him to study well. ADHD(注意力缺乏多动症)is one of the most common learning disabilities. Even with parents and doctors working together without schools’ help, it is very hard to get rid of the disability. Sadly, even today, there are many schools that don’t know how to deal with the children with these disabilities.
Fairfield Primary School is a good place for children that have been diagnosed with ADHD. The teachers really care about all of their students and they are willing to work with parents and doctors in order to help these children. When they see the child want to act up(捣蛋) in class, they usually give the child something physical to do in order to get rid of the excess(过多的) energy. They never punish the child for something that is beyond the child’s control.
Overall, Fairfield Primary School has all of things that a child with ADHD needs. They provide interesting class games for the child’s excess energy. They also provide the school rules the child needs. They give the child a caring environment where they are not kept apart because they are different. This is a very good school for a child who is suffering from one or more of these problems.

Most of us believe that emotions come from what happens outside of ourselves. In fact, it’s not the outside events but what we do with those outside events in our mind that causes us to be happy or unhappy.
Obviously, if it was only the event that was creating our emotions, we all would have the same reaction to any event or circumstance. Actually, it’s the way we understand it, or more correctly put the way we judge the event that matters. When we judge an event as positive to us, we have a positive emotion. If we judge the event to be something negative, the emotion we generate is negative.
Our ability to judge how events will eventually work out has been proven scientifically to be at best 60% correct and in most cases less than 30%. That means we have only a 30 to 40 percent chance of being right in how we judge something. The truth is that we are very poorly equipped to judge the consequences of events accurately.
Every day some people tell us that unfortunate events, disease or a lot of negative experiences were the best things that could have happened to them. Now of course some of you may say these people were optimistic and just retell the event to find a good way of looking at it. This way of looking at it is missing the point.
If judging things is what causes us to label them positive or negative and this in turn makes us happy or unhappy, then refusing to judge things as bad benefits us a lot.
Peace of mind and happiness can be achieved by simply accepting something that is totally true. We can’t judge if something is going to be good or bad for us in the future. If we are to be happy most of the time, we need to stop judging events moment to moment.
66. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. What creates our emotions. B. How to judge outside events.
C. What makes us feel unhappy.D. How to achieve peace of mind.
67. What makes us unhappy according to the text?
A. Terrible circumstances.B. Daily life and experiences.
C. That we judge events as negative.D. That the event goes badly.
68. Which of the following is TRUE of people’s judgments?
A. They make people happy. B. Most of them are not accurate.
C. They are negative in most cases. D. Usually over 40% of them are right.
69. What does “the point” refer to in the fifth paragraph?
A. Negative experiences always turn out to be positive finally.
B. We should keep optimistic when something bad happens.
C. Refusing to judge things as bad makes a great deal of sense.
D. The consequences of events have little to do with our judgments.
70. If we want to keep happy, we should ________.
A. not do anything to affect events
B. accept different judgments from others
C. stop judging quickly how events will turn out
D. not judge events when they are going smoothly

PART FOUR WRTING
SECTION A
Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the notes by using the information for the passage. Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer. （10 points）
Happiness is an emotion which is characterized by a feeling of absolute satisfaction. It is the feeling of being where you should be, getting what you want and needing little else.
It is easy to confuse happiness with pleasure. But the two aren’t one. Pleasure is intense and continues for a short time. Happiness lasts longer. Pleasure can result from any number of happy experiences. For example you get pleasure from eating your favorite chocolate or reading a fantastic book. Take away the experience and pleasure ends. On the other hand, happiness is the aggregate of a number of experiences.
What makes a person happy? Different people get happiness in different ways. For some, it comes from having a good job or a satisfying relationship. For others, it could be the ability to deal with life’s challenges with calmness. Whatever the source is, one thing is certain: happiness is an attitude. It is the way of thinking that enables you to interpret things in a positive way. It is that particular feeling that puts a smile on your face, for no apparent reason.
Happiness affects every aspect of a person’s life. Happier people are generally more successful, more productive and more balanced. They are healthier and stronger physically as well as emotionally. A happier person has a longer life, collects more friends and has greater chances of developing successful relationships with those around him.
Happiness is the net result of many factors, of which 40% is within your control. Your thoughts, actions and goals, for example, are your own. You can choose to interpret an experience as enrichment, if you wish to do so. This, in turn, increases your happiness, so a good part of happiness can be controlled. By taking active control of this you can lead a more successful and satisfying life.

Section Bw.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.m
Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet. (10 points)
Summer is a busy period for holiday travel. Many people travel great distances in airplanes. Experts say people should know about some health problems that can strike when traveling by air. One of these is a lack of oxygen to the brain called hypoxia(缺氧症). The body begins losing oxygen minutes after an airplane takes off. The air pressure in a plane during flight is lower than that at sea level. This makes it more difficult for the body to effectively use the same amount of oxygen as it would，on the ground. Fewer oxygen molecules(分子) cross the tissues in the lungs and reach the bloodstream. The result is a five to twenty percent decrease in the amount of oxygen in the blood. This reduces the amount of oxygen that reaches the organs of the body.
One effect of this lack of oxygen to the brain is headache. When this happens, the heart attempts to fix the situation by beating harder and faster. This can make the passenger feel tired.
These signs of hypoxia are not dangerous in a healthy person. But a drop in oxygen level can cause a health emergency in people with heart or lung problems. They might lose consciousness or even suffer a heart attack.
Experts say that smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol also reduce the body’s ability to use oxygen. So they suggest people should not drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes either before or during a flight. They warn that people with heart or lung problems should seek advice from their doctor before flying.
81. What causes hypoxia when we travel by air? (no more than 7 words )
__________________________________________________________________
82. Why should we not smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol before flying? (no more than 9 words)

Dear classmates,
May I have your attention, please?
I notice that some of us spend most of our time doing our lessons, neglecting to take physical exercise. However, I think it is important to take regular exercise. For one thing, it can help us remain in good shape and stay away from disease. For another thing, it can contribute to decrease of the pressure from study, preventing depression.
Here are two tips for you: first of all, set aside some time for physical exercise every day. Nothing is more important than good health. Second, try to exercise with your good friends so that you can have fun while working out.
Whatever we want to become in the future, we should keep fit right now. So let’s make it a rule to take physical exercise every day.
