A
Soe years ago, writing in y diary used to be a usual activity. I would return fro school and spend the expected half hour recording the day’s events, feelings, and ipressions in y little blue diary. I did not really need to express y eotions by way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction fro seeing y experiences forever recorded on paper. After all, isn’t accuulating eories a way of preserving the past?
When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley, well-equipped with pens, a diary, and a caera. During the trip, I was busy recording every incident, nae and place I cae across. I felt proud to be spending y tie productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of y travels. On y last night there, I wandered out of y tent, diary in hand. The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the oon, and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows. I autoatically took out y pen….
At that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever atch or replace the few seconds I allowed yself to experience the draatic beauty of the valley. All I reebered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in y diary.
Now, I only write in y diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling. I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike e in books, or observations that are particularly eaningful. I take pictures, but not very often—only of objects I find really beautiful. I’ no longer blindly satisfied with having soething to reeber when I grow old. I realize that life will siply pass e by if I stay behind the caera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.
I don’t want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes. aybe I won’t have as any exact representations of people and places; aybe I’ll forget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always reain inside e. I don’t live to ake eories—I just live, and the eories for theselves.

others and daughters go through so uch—yet when was the last tie a other and daughter sat down to write a book together about it all? Perri Klass and her other, Sheila Soloon Klass, both gifted professional writers, prove to be ideal co-writers as they exaine their decades of otherhood, daughterhood, and the wonderful ways their lives have overlapped (重叠).
Perri notes with aazeent how closely her own life has irrored her other’s: both have full-tie careers; both have published books, articles, and stories; each has three children; they both love to read. They also love to travel—in fact, they often take trips together. But in truth, the harder they look at their lives, the ore they acknowledge their big differences in circustance and basic nature.
A child of the Depression (大萧条), Sheila was raised in Brooklyn by parents who considered education a luxury for girls. Starting with her college education, she has fought for everything she’s ever accoplished. Perri, on the other hand, grew up privileged in the New Jersey suburbs of the 1960s and 1970s. For Sheila, wasting tie or oney is a crie, and luxury is unthinkable while Perri enjoys the occasional sall luxury, but has not been successful at trying to persuade her other into enjoying even the tiniest thing she likes.
Each writing in her own unistakable voice, Perri and Sheila take turns exploring the joys and pains, the love and bitterness, the inor troubles and lasting respect that have always bonded the together. Sheila describes the adventure of giving birth to Perri in a tiny town in Trinidad where her husband was doing research fieldwork. Perri adits that she can’t sort out all the ess in the households, even though she knows it drives her other crazy. Together they copare thoughts on bringing up children and working, adit long-hidden sorrows, and enjoy precious eories.
Looking deep into the lives they have lived separately and together, Perri and Sheila tell their other-daughter story with honesty, huor, enthusias, and adiration for each other. A written account in two voices, Every other Is a Daughter is a duet (二重奏) that produces a deep, strong sound with the experiences that all others and daughters will recognize.
55. Why does Perri think that her own life has irrored her other’s?
A. They both have gone through difficult ties.
B. They have strong eotional ties with each other.
C. They have the sae joys and pains, and love and bitterness.
D. They both have experiences as daughter, other and writer.

We’ve reached a strange—soe would say unusual—point. While fighting world hunger continues to be the atter of vital iportance according to a recent report fro the World Health Organization (WHO), ore people now die fro being overweight, or say, fro being extreely fat, than fro being underweight. It’s the good life that’s ore likely to kill us these days.
Worse, nearly l8 illion children under the age of five around the world are estiated to be overweight. What’s going on?
We really don’t have any excuses for our weight probles. The dangers of the proble have been drilled into us by public-health capaigns since 2001 and the essage is getting through—up to a point.
In the 1970s, Finland, for exaple, had the highest rate of heart disease in the world and being overweight was its ain cause. Not any ore. A public-health capaign has greatly reduced the nuber of heart disease deaths by 80 per cent over the past three decades.
aybe that explains why the percentage of people in Finland taking diet pills doubled between 2001 and 2005, and doctors even offer surgery of reoving fat inside and change the shape of the body. That has becoe a sort of fashion. No wonder it ranks as the world’s ost body-conscious country.
We know what we should be doing to lose weight—but actually doing it is another atter. By far the ost popular excuse is not taking enough exercise. ore than half of us adit we lack willpower.
Others blae good food. They say: it’s just too inviting and it akes the overeat. Still others lay the blae on the Aericans, coplaining that pounds have piled on thanks to eating too uch Aerican-style fast food.
Soe also blae their parents—their genes. But unfortunately, the parents are wronged because they’re noral in shape, or rather sli.
It’s a siilar story around the world, although people are relatively unlikely to have tried to lose weight. Parents are eager to see their kids shape up. Do as I say—not as I do.
59. What is the “strange” point entioned in the first sentence?
A. The good life is a greater risk than the bad life.
B. Starvation is taking ore people’s lives in the world.
C. WHO report shows people’s unawareness of food safety.
D. Overweight issue reains unresolved despite WHO’s efforts.
60. Why does the author think that people have no excuse for being overweight?
A. A lot of effective diet pills are available.
B. Body iage has nothing to do with good food.
C. They have been ade fully aware of its dangers.
D. There are too any overweight people in the world.
61. The exaple of Finland is used to illustrate ______.
A. the cause of heart disease
B. the fashion of body shaping
C. the effectiveness of a capaign
D. the history of a body-conscious country
62. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. Actions or Excuses?
B. Overweight or Underweight?
C. WHO in a Dilea
D. No Longer Dying of Hunger

The technology is great. Without it we wouldn’t have been able to put a an on the oon, explore the ocean’s depths or eat icrowave sausages. Coputers have revolutionized our lives and they have the power to educate and pass on knowledge. But soeties this power can create ore probles than it solves.
Every doctor has had to try their best to cal down patients who’ve coe into their surgery waving an Internet print-out, convinced that they have soe rare incurable disease, say, throat cancer. The truth is usually far ore ordinary, though: they don’t have throat cancer, and it’s just that their throats are swollen. Being a graduate of the Internet “school” of edicine does not guarantee accurate self-health-checks.
One day rs. Alond cae to y hospital after feeling faint at work. While I took her blood saple and tried to find out what was wrong, she said cally, “I know what’s wrong; I’ve got throat cancer. I know there’s nothing you doctors can do about it and I’ve just got to wait until the day coes.”
As a atter of routine I ordered a chest X-ray. I looked at it and the blood results an hour later. Soething wasn’t right. “Did your local doctor do an X-ray?” I asked. “Oh, I haven’t been to the doctor for years,” she replied. “I read about it on a website and the syptos fitted, so I knew that’s what I had.”
However, soe of her syptos, like the severe cough and weight loss, didn’t fit with it—but she’d just ignored this.
I looked at the X-ray again, and ore tests confired it wasn’t the cancer but tuberculosis (肺结核)—soething that ost certainly did need treating, and could be deadly. She was lucky we caught it when we did.
rs. Alond went pale when I explained she would have to be on treatent for the next six onths to ensure that she was fully recovered. It was certainly a lesson for her. “I’ so ebarrassed,” she said, shaking her head, as I explained that all the people she had coe into close contact with would have to be found out and tested. She listed up to about 20, and then I went to y office to type up y notes. Unexpectedly, the coputer was not working, so I had to wait until soeone fro the IT departent cae to fix it. Typical. aybe I should have a icrowave sausage while I waited?
63. rs. Alond talked about her illness cally because ______.
A. she thought she knew it well
B. she had purchased edicine online
C. she graduated fro a edical school
D. she had been treated by local doctors
64. It was lucky for rs. Alond ______.
A. to have contacted any friends
B. to have recovered in a short tie
C. to have her assuption confired
D. to have her disease identified in tie
65. rs. Alond said “I’ so ebarrassed” (Para. 7) because ______.
A. she had distrusted her close friends
B. she had caused unnecessary trouble
C. she had to refuse the doctor’s advice
D. she had to tell the truth to the doctor
66. By entioning the breakdown of the coputer, the author probably wants to prove ______.
A. it’s a ust to take a break at work
B. it’s vital to believe in IT professionals
C. it’s unwise to siply rely on technology
D. it’s a danger to work long hours on coputers

A Geran study suggests that people who were too optiistic about their future actually faced greater risk of disability or death within 10 years than those pessiists who expected their future to be worse.
The paper, published this arch in Psychology and Aging, exained health and welfare surveys fro roughly 40,000 Gerans between ages 18 and 96. The surveys were conducted every year fro 1993 to 2003.
Survey respondents (受访者) were asked to estiate their present and future life satisfaction on a scale of 0 to 10, aong other questions.
The researchers found that young adults (age 18 to 39) routinely overestiated their future life satisfaction, while iddle-aged adults (age 40 to 64) ore accurately predicted how they would feel in the future. Adults of 65 and older, however, were far ore likely to underestiate their future life satisfaction. Not only did they feel ore satisfied than they thought they would, the older pessiists seeed to suffer a lower ratio (比率) of disability and death for the study period.
“We observed that being too optiistic in predicting a better future than actually observed was associated with a greater risk of disability and a greater risk of death within the following decade,” wrote Frieder R. Lang, a professor at the University of Erlangen-Nureberg.
Lang and his colleagues believed that people who were pessiistic about their future ay be ore careful about their actions than people who expected a rosy future.
“Seeing a dark future ay encourage positive evaluations of the actual self and ay contribute to taking iproved precautions (预防措施),” the authors wrote.
Surprisingly, copared with those in poor health or who had low incoes, respondents who enjoyed good health or incoe were associated with expecting a greater decline. Also, the researchers said that higher incoe was related to a greater risk of disability.
The authors of the study noted that there were liitations to their conclusions. Illness, edical treatent and personal loss could also have driven health outcoes.
However, the researchers said a pattern was clear. “We found that fro early to late adulthood, individuals adapt their expectations of future life satisfaction fro optiistic, to accurate, to pessiistic,” the authors concluded.
67. According to the study, who ade the ost accurate prediction of their future life satisfaction?
A. Optiistic adults.
B. iddle-aged adults.
C. Adults in poor health.
D. Adults of lower incoe.
68. Pessiis ay be positive in soe way because it causes people ______.
A. to fully enjoy their present life
B. to estiate their contribution accurately
C. to take easures against potential risks
D. to value health ore highly than wealth
69. How do people of higher incoe see their future?
A. They will earn less oney.
B. They will becoe pessiistic.
C. They will suffer ental illness.
D. They will have less tie to enjoy life.
70. What is the clear conclusion of the study?
A. Pessiis guarantees chances of survival.
B. Good financial condition leads to good health.
C. edical treatent deterines health outcoes.
D. Expectations of future life satisfaction decline with age.
