intricate
dishes,

foods

we

pick out her own gift.

her
a present at all, while I've been racking my brain
to think of something she'll like. Maybe I
should buy her a car!
Man: Now, don't get carried away. You get like this every year. I know you want to please
your mother, but
remember, it's the thought that counts.

schooling now. Other kids have to get up
early and go to school

sometimes it takes them over an hour just to get there! But me, I don't
have to
travel to school. I can stay in bed! All I have to
do is go downstairs! And there's no stupid
uniform to wear, either. And better
food for lunch. I think I enjoy studying more

I
like

school do you go
to?

During that time many of the England's poor worked as servants for the wealthy.

located far from their homes, the servants would
live at the houses of their
employers.
On Mothering Sunday the servants would have the
day off and were encouraged to
return
home and spend the day with their mothers. A
special cake, called the mothering cake,
was often brought along to provide a
festive touch.
People began honoring their mothers as well as the church. All across the world,
more than 46 countries honor
mothers with a special day, but not all nations
celebrate on the
same day. We honor
mothers with cards, candy, flowers and dinner out.

luxury
liner
named
the Titan.

the Titanic had sunk, and he was
suddenly terrified by the thought of the name of
his ship
―
the
Titanian.
Panic-stricken,
he
sounded
the
warning.
The
ship
stopped,
just
in
time:
a
huge
iceberg loomed out of the fog directly
in their path. The Titanian was saved.

Passage Two
Questions 15 to 17 are based on the passage you have just heard.
Script:
Welcome to This Is Our Everyday Hero. I'm Barbara Klein.
Every society has its heroes. This week on our program, we present several stories
of heroism
in action.
We start in New York City earlier this month
―
January fourth, to be exact. Two
friends, Julio
Gonzalez and Pedro Nevarez, were standing on the
street talking. Suddenly, people
in a
nearby apartment building screamed for help. A
three-year-old boy was hanging from the
steps of the fire escape outside the
building. Timothy Addo was twelve meters above the
ground,
and scared.
The men saw that he was going to fall. The two mechanics ran across the street
and positioned
themselves to catch him. They got there just in
time. Timothy lost his hold and
dropped. His feet hit Mister Nevarez
and pushed him over onto the sidewalk. But the
little boy
landed in the arms of Mister
Gonzalez, who also fell. Timothy was shaken by the
experience, but
he was safe.
Experts in human behavior tell us that some situations bring out the best in people.
But something made this event all the
more newsworthy. Just two days earlier, New York
City had
another accidental hero.

Passage Three
Questions 18 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.
Script:
A teenage boy named Xue Xiao got nationwide attention in China last year
following the Sichuan earthquake. His
claim to fame was simply that his first words
after being
pulled from the ruins 80
hours after the quake was over were:
Xue's courage and perseverance held many people in awe. So he was admitted by
Shanghai
University
of Finance
and
Economics
without
having
to
take any exams. An
article
in
Oriental
Morning Post covered the boy's latest development
in school and reported that he has
to
study English very hard to keep up with his peers
at the university.
The
writer
says
he
is
surprised
by
the
school's
decision
and
asks
if
a
student's
legendary
experience
could
be
a
reason
for
the
university
to
enroll
the
student
without
exam
scores. It is reasonable to
reward people who made outstanding contributions
to the earthquake
relief efforts, but
the boy's involvement is inadequate to be
considered a contribution, the article
supposed. Indeed, at a time when the
country needed optimism to boost national morale,
Xue
Xiao
touched
people
with
his
and
humor,
the
writer
said.
But
the
university's
explanation that
is really
far-fetched, according to the article.
18.
A) For his brave action in saving other children.
B) For his naughty behavior in school.
C) For his optimistic spirit, perseverance and courage.
D) For his earthquake diary.

Script: What can be inferred from the passage about Xue's school life at his university?
正确答案：
B
20.
A) The reward received by the boy is reasonable.
B) The boy's involvement is not a contribution and therefore the reward is not appropriate.

Courage is the father who shows up on

Courage comes in many forms, not only from thoughts and deeds of greatness, but
in
the routine, everyday art of living. When life

at an end, take courage and go the next
step. You will be amazed at the power and strength

courage to take you through this day. You only

Read the quotation from J. F. Kennedy, and think about your own definition of courage.
Talk about the courage as you
believe in and give an example.
The courage of life is often a less dramatic spectacle than the courage of a final
moment;
but
it
is
no
less
a
magnificent
mixture
of
triumph
and
tragedy. A
man does
what
he
must
—
in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures
—
and that is the basis
of all human morality.

Now, I've just got to find

girlfriend to know that the proposal
has to be something special. I thought
about taking her on a trip to Paris and asking her
in the
about writing her a
love poem and proposing in the poem. But I'm a

The issues that people argue over most in marriage, such as how to spend money,

Questions 6 to 8 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
Script:
Woman:
Another
birthday!
I'm
going
to
stop
celebrating.
What's
there
to
celebrate
―
getting old and weak?
Man: Are you kidding me? We're in the prime of our lives. Who's weak? I'm not.
Woman: If I'm in my prime, then why do I feel so middle-aged?
Man: It's a matter of perspective. It's true that we're not spring chickens anymore, but who
wants all of
the anxiety of youth? Not me. I like living these
mature years without the insecurity
and
uncertainty of youth.
Woman:
It's
not
that.
I
don't
miss
the
awkwardness
of
my
teenage years,
and
I
definitely
don't miss the
struggles I had to go through in my 20s. What I
miss is the excitement of seeing
and
experiencing things for the first time. I'm
missing the innocence of youth.
Man: Come on. There's nothing stopping you from seeing and trying new things now. Don't
tell me
that you've seen and done everything.
Woman: No, I haven't.
Man: Then you'll come with me next Saturday, and I guarantee you a new experience.
Woman: What new experience?
Man: Have you ever tried skydiving?
Woman: No, I haven't and I don't plan to now. I may be old, but I'm not ready to kick the
bucket yet!

Questions 9 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
Script: Man: I'm turning 40 this year and what do I have to show for it?
Woman:
Actually,
you've
accomplished
a
lot.
Do
you
know
what
your
problem
is?
Your
expectations are too high
and your goals are unattainable for most people.
Man:
Not
for
me.
They
shouldn't
have
been.
I
had
my
life
all
planned
out
and
nothing
is
turning out
the way it should.
Woman:
I
would
never
have
treated
you
as
someone
with
regrets
about
how
his
life
has
turned out.
Man:
But
I
was
supposed
to
make
my
first
million
dollars
by
the
time
I
was
30.
By
35,
I
should
have
met
someone
and
settled
down,
maybe
had
a
child
or
two.
None
of
that
has
happened.
Woman: You have lots of friends and a full life. Maybe things didn't turn out the way you had
imagined, but wouldn't you say you were
generally content?
Man: I was before I started thinking about my upcoming birthday.
Woman: Then stop thinking about it. Too much thinking could definitely lead to regrets

not to mention premature aging!

Direstions
：
Listen to three short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some
questions. All the
recordings will be played once only. After you
hear a question, please choose
the best
answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and
D).
Passage One
Questions 12 to 14 are based on the passage you have just heard.
Script:
For
most
of
us,
owing
thousands
of
dollars
in
student
loans,
all
while
dealing with crushing
credit card debt, probably sounds like a
nightmare. But for people in their
early-
to
mid-20s,
all
that
debt
actually
seems
to
boost
their
self-esteem
—
possibly
because
they consider that debt
an investment in their future. So says a study in
the journal Social Science
Research.
Researchers
analyzed
ongoing
national
survey
data
on
3,000
young
Americans.
The questions covered
student loans and credit card debt, as well as
some designed to measure
the
respondents' self-esteem and sense of control over
their lives. Even after accounting for the
fact
that
more
self-confident
teens
might
be
willing
to
take
out
more
loans
in
college,
the
researchers
found
that
the
more
debt
respondents
had,
the
more
empowered
they
felt.
Especially
young adults from low-income families, who might
have been afforded opportunities
beyond
their means.
But
the
honeymoon
appears
to
end
around
age
28
—
right
around
the
time
when college
grads have been working a few years and they
realize their salary expectations may
have been just a bit too high. Oh, and
when the bills for those student loans start
showing up.

Once upon a time there were three young men, who wanted to look for
treasures in the desert.
One day, they started out and went to the sands for their treasures. They brought
enough
food and some water with them.
As it was very hot in the sands, they drank up all the water three days later. They
were all tired

man and asked him for help.
said the old man,
With the old man's words, the three young men went on with their hard travel. It

writing funny things, you must work. If

of killing

do that on the sunny side of thirty.
They die sometimes, but it is because
they quit work at six in the evening, and do not

lends solidity to your slumbers, it gives you a
