A
    By the time I reached junior high，I was sure I wanted to be a nurse. If you didn’t study Latin，you couldn’t be a nurse，so I enrolled. Many Latin words were familiar to me. The hard part turned out to be the usage and creating sentences with the words that seemed so easy to pronounce. Several weeks into the course my teacher came to me，saying，“I think you should withdraw from this course. It seems to be too hard for you. ”
   That was the day I learned I wasn’t smart enough to become a nurse. With shame, I handed in my Latin textbook. 
   After high school，the years raced by. I married and had children. Then one day my husband John came home. “Carol, Max died this afternoon.” I looked at my husband with disbelief. 
John was touched by this tragedy. Finally one evening he said，“Carol，Jackie has never worked and now she’s alone with four children. I've been thinking — if anything happens to me. I want you to be able to take care of yourself and the children. Why don’t you think about what you’d like to do and get the training you’ll need to do it?”

   I signed up for the entrance exam for nursing programs. One day I received a letter from the schoo1. I wanted so badly to open it，but with my lack of confidence，I laid it on the kitchen counter saying, “I'm not in the mood for a rejection letter today.”
   Finally I forced myself to open it. “Dear Carol，”I read. ”We are pleased to inform you that you successfully passed the entrance exam.”
An insensitive teacher once stole my dream. If you have a dream, exhaust every effort to reach it. I’ve worked thirty years now as a nurse and I’ve never been more certain that this is what I was meant to be.
21. Why did John advise Carol to find a job?
A. To support the family B. To provide more money for her kids
C. To live a more colorful life D. To be able to live independently 
22. From the text, we know what the teacher said____________. 
A. destroyed Carol’s dream to be a nurse.  B. helped Carol find her true interest
C. saved Carol from wasting her time D. encouraged Carol to be careful in learning
23. After receiving the letter from the schoo1, Caro1____________. 
A. was uncertain about the result B. had no mood to read it then
C. didn’t take it seriously at all   D. couldn’t wait to open it
24. What may be the best title for the text？
A. A dream too high to achieve B. Too stupid to be a nurse?
C. Never too late to 1earn         D. A chance too important to miss
B
 China is going green. In order to reduce air pollution and oil shortages, automobile manufacturers have announced their plans to develop hybrid vehicles (混合燃料汽车) for the Chinese market. Toyota's hybrid car Prius will be ready to drive in China this week. Let's have a look at the new car.
 Any vehicle is a hybrid when it combines two or more sources of power. Hybrid cars run off a rechargeable battery and gasoline. Hybrid cars have special engines, which are smaller than traditional gasoline engines. They run at 99 percent of their power when the car is cruising (匀速行驶). A specially designed battery motor provides extra power for running up hills or when extra acceleration is needed.
  Step into a Prius, and turn on the engine. The first thing you notice is how much quieter it is than a traditional car. At this point, the car's gasoline engine is dormant (休眠). The electric motor will provide power until the car reaches about 24 km/h. If you stay at a low speed, you are
effectively driving an electric car, with no gasoline being used, and no waste gas gives off.
The onboard(车载的) computer makes the decision about when to use a gas engine, when to go electric, and when to use a combination of the two. If you go over 24 km/h, when you step on the gas pedal (油门), you are actually telling the computer how fast you want to go.
The electronic motor recharges automatically using a set of batteries. When driving at high speed, the gasoline engine not only powers the car, but also charges the batteries. Any time you use the brake, the electric motor in the wheels will work like a generator and produce electricity to recharge the batteries. As a consequence, the car's batteries will last for around 200,000 miles.
25. The author writes this passage mainly to________.
A. teach people how to drive a hybrid car 
B. show how to save their gasoline when driving a car 
C. introduce a new kind of "green" car 
D. announce plans to develop hybrid vehicles for China
26. The first sentence probably refers to ________.
A. there will be more and more green land in China
B. China has started producing environmentally friendly cars
C. China's new cars are combinations of different green models
D. China is still young and lacking experience 
27. What is the most important feature of hybrid cars?
A. They have smaller engines than traditional gasoline ones.
B. They are much quieter than traditional cars.
C. They only use 99 percent of their power to run up hills.
D. They are powered by both a rechargeable battery and gasoline. 
28. What can we conclude from the story?
A. The gasoline engine charges the batteries as well as powers the car. 
B. Using the brake suggests that the gasoline engine should work.
C. The batteries will last for 200, 000 miles without being recharged.
D. The batteries can be recharged at any time you want.
C

Are you stressed out, scared or worried all the time? Do you avoid going to certain places, seeing friends or doing certain things because of your worries? Do your worries keep you awake at night? If you’ve answered yes, you may be suffering from anxiety.
         Anxiety is a normal and necessary part of life. Anxiety is your brain’s way of telling you about danger. It is anxiety which helps you jump out of the way if a car is speeding towards you. But if it gets out of hand, anxiety can get in the way of your getting on with life and can become a real problem. If this is the case for you, treatment may be a helpful way for you to get your anxiety under control.
         Anxiety is a normal part of life. Some people may feel uneasy if moving to a new place and some may get overly anxious in certain situations. There are lots of reasons for this. One main reason is after a stressful thing which has happened in your life. So, if you are involved in a car crash, it’s quite likely that you will be more worried than other people around cars and driving.
        Being anxious also probably runs in families. If your parents suffer from anxiety then you are more likely to be anxious too. This is probably partly due to genetics, and partly because of how things are when you’re growing up.
         Even though people don’t talk about it much, anxiety is one of the most common mental health problems. About 1 in 4 people will have an anxiety problem at some time in their life.
         If you have an anxiety problem it’s hard for other people to understand why something that doesn’t worry them, like being in a crowd of people, can be so scary for you. This can make you feel separated and lonely, and may become worse and worse.
         The good news is there are lots of excellent treatments available for anxiety. These include taking therapies (疗法) and drugs.
33. Which of the following statements is true about anxiety?
A. Almost everybody has a certain degree of anxiety in certain situations. 
B. It’s abnormal for people to get too anxious after a stressful thing.

D. When you feel stressed out, scared or worried, you are surely suffering from anxiety.
34. Which of the following reasons for anxiety is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Genetics.     B. Experience.         C. Illness.                       D. Environment.
35. The author will most probably talk about ________ following this passage.
A. what is about anxiety                              B. how to handle anxiety                                       
C. what causes anxiety                 D. when anxiety becomes serious

Five Ways to Build Self-Confidence
Walk Faster
   One of the easiest ways to tell how a person feels about herself is to examine her walk. People with confidence walk quickly. They have places to go, people to see, or important work to do. Even if you aren’t in a hurry, you can increase your self-confidence by putting some energy in your step.  _______ 36 ___ __.
       37       
    One of the best ways to build confidence is listening to an inspiring speech. Unluckily, chances to listen to a great speaker are few. You can fill this need by creating a personal speech. Write a 30-60 second speech that focuses on your strengths and goals then recite it aloud whenever you need a confidence push.

Sit in the Front Row
In school, offices and some other public places people always sit at the back of the room,            38  ______________ . This is for lack of self-confidence. By deciding to sit in the front row, you can get over this meaningless fear and build your self-confidence.
Speak up
    During group discussions many people never express their opinions because they’re afraid that people will judge them for their saying something stupid.      39     . By making an effort to express your opinions at least once in every group discussion, you’ll become a better public speaker, more confident in your own thoughts.
Work out 
  Along the same lines as personal appearance, physical fitness has huge effect on self-confidence.     40       . By making your body fit and strong, you improve your physical appearance, refresh yourself, and learn something positive.
A. Most people prefer that because they’re afraid of being noticed. 
B. Walking 25% faster will make you look and feel more important.
C. In fact most people feel good after a walk
D. If you’re out of shape, you’ll feel unattractive and less energetic 
E. Listen to an Inspiring Speech
F. Create a Personal Speech.
G. In fact most people are dealing with the same fear.
