People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. When you figure out which one it is, you will know   1   what to do for each person.

When someone is in your life for a reason, it is   2   to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to   3   you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually. They are there for the   4   you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part, or at any inconvenient time, they will say or do something to bring the relationship to a(n)  5  . Sometimes they die, sometimes they walk away, and   6   

they act up and force you to take a stand. What you must   7   is that your need has been met, and your desire   8  . When their work is done, it is time to move on.

When people come into your life for a season, it is because your turn has   9   to share, grow, or learn. They bring you an experience of peace, or make you   10  . They may teach you something you have   11   done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.   12  

it! It is real! But, only for a season.

Lifetime relationships teach you lifetime lessons: those things you must build upon in order to have a   13   emotional(情感的) foundation. Your job is to accept the   14  , love the person, and put what you have learned to use in all other   15   and areas of your life. It is said that love is sacred but friendship is sensible.

In a word, thank you for being part of my life, whether you were here for a reason, a season or a lifetime.

A

He had been on a long flight. The first warning of the approaching problems came when the sign on the airplane flashed on: “Fasten your seat belts.”

Then, after a while, a calm voice said, “We shall not be serving the drinks at this time as we are expecting a little turbulence(氣流). Please be sure your seat belt is fastened.”

As he looked around the aircraft, it became obvious that many of the passengers were becoming nervous.

Later, the voice of the announcer said, “We are so sorry that we are unable to serve the meal at this time. The turbulence is still ahead of us.”

And then the storm broke out. The terrible thunder could be heard even above the sound of the engines. Lightening lit up the darkening skies and within moments that great plane was like a feather thrown around on a vast ocean. One moment the airplane was lifted on great currents of air; the next, it dropped as if it were about to crash.

The man admitted that he shared the discomfort and fear of those around him. He said, “As I looked around the plane, I could see that nearly all the passengers were upset and alarmed. Some were praying.”

“The future seemed terrible and many were wondering if they would make it through the storm. And then, I suddenly saw a girl to whom the storm meant nothing. She just sat on her seat and was reading a book. Everything within her small world was calm and orderly. Sometimes she closed her eyes, then she would read again; then she would straighten her legs, but worry and fear were not in her world. When the plane was being hit by the terrible storm, when it shook this way and that, as it rose and fell so severely, when all the adults were scared half to death, that unusual child was completely composed and unafraid.”

The man could hardly believe his eyes. It was not surprising, therefore, that when the plane finally reached its destination and all the passengers were hurrying off board, he asked the girl why she had not been afraid. The sweet child replied, “Sir, my Dad is the pilot and he is taking me home.”

Long-time exposure to air pollution can lead to physical changes in the brain and cause trouble in learning and memory, and even anxiety. This is suggested by the results of new research on mice.

While other studies have shown the harmful effects of polluted air in the lungs and heart, this is the first to show the negative effect on the brain.

The team of Laura Fonken, Randy Nelson, from the Ohio State University, USA, has spread to the brain a previous line of research which found that fine particulate(微粒) matter floating in the air mainly because of air pollution caused by humans, causes swelling in much of the body, and may be related to high blood pressure problems, and some other diseases.

In the research Fonken and his colleagues exposed mice to polluted air for six hours each day, five days a week, over a period of 10 months, almost half the average life length of mice.

Polluted air contains fine particles created by cars, factories and natural dust. Fine particles of this kind are tiny, about 2.5 micrometers in diameter, or about one-thirtieth the width of a human hair. These particles can go deep into lungs and other organs.

The concentration of this particulate material to which they exposed mice is equal to the concentration at which people can be exposed in some polluted urban areas.

After a period of 10 months, the researchers got the animals to have a series of behavioral tests. Both the behavior of mice and the results of neurological(神經(jīng)的) tests done to them show that those within the polluted air had more problems in learning and memory, and higher levels of anxiety.

The results suggest that long-time exposure to polluted air can have measurable negative effects on the human brain and can cause a variety of mental health problems. This could have important consequences for those living and working in polluted urban areas. 

31．The results of new research on mice first suggest that polluted air mainly does harm to           .

A．normal organs    B．lungs and heart

C．mental health D．blood pressure

32．What harmful effect of polluted air is mentioned in other studies?

A．The harmful effect on learning.

B．The harmful effect on all the organs.

C．The harmful effect on lungs and heart.

D．The harmful effect on improving memory.

33．The bad effects of tiny particles in polluted air are those Except           .

A．high blood pressure problems

B．making human hair thinner

C．different kinds of diseases

D．swelling in much of the body

34．From the last sentence we can infer that people living in polluted urban areas           .

A．a(chǎn)re likely to suffer from mental problems

B．can measure the negative effect on them

C．show little concern for air pollution

D．can be exposed to polluted air longer

35．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A．Long-time Exposure to Air Pollution

B．Evidence and Concern of Air Pollution

C．Measurable Effect on Human Brain

D．Mental Problems Caused by Air Pollution

C

What would you like to be when you grow up? A teacher? A doctor? An astronaut? What do you need to do to achieve your dream job?

Perhaps you think that studying well and then going on to work hard will get you the successful career you want. We are constantly taught that our hard work will eventually pay off.

But a government survey has shown that hard work is not the only thing that will help you to move up the ladder. Two thirds of people believe that who you know matters more than what you know when it comes to social activity. So are the connections that you have more important than your education?

Seventy-six percent of the people in the survey believed that family background is important in influencing your chances of success. They believe that if you are privileged from birth, you are more likely to have a successful career, especially if your family is wealthy. 

Even if you don’t have a privileged background, the people you know can still make a difference to your career. Networking is a skill which is encouraged by many career advisers. Some companies run networking workshops to try and encourage staff to meet other people, to communicate and build relationships. It’s a valuable skill.

But the survey also showed something quite interesting. Although most people believed that networks are more important than education, many people put their own career success down to talent, rather than background. 41% of the people said that their parents’ income had influenced their life, but at the same time, another 41% believed that they had achieved their own success.

So which is more important, what you know or who you know? It seems that by working hard and making lots of connections, the answer may be that both are very important. 

36．Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined part?

A．Practice makes perfect. B．Nothing is impossible.

C．Hope for the best. D．No pains, no gains.

37．According to the government survey the most important factor to help people move up the ladder is           .

A．hard work 

B．education

C．social relationship

D．social activity

38．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A．76% of the people think social relationship matters most.

B．41% of the people believe parents’ income is most important.

C．76% of the people think family background ranks first.

D．41% of the people believe they gained their own success.

39．From the passage we can infer that the writer writes the article to           .

A．stress the importance of education

B．challenge the traditional belief

C．make lots of social connections

D．encourage people to work hard

40．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A．The Way to Success

B．Keep your Dream in Mind

C．A Wealthy and Smooth Career

D．A Survey on People’s Dreams

Neil Kerwin became American University’s(AU) 14th president in September 2007. Kerwin joined AU in 1975 and has held numerous department and leadership positions, including head of the School of Public Affairs. In this interview, he speaks about developing leadership among AU students and inspiring them to public service and the lessons he has learned as the president of American University.

“The longer I do this kind of work, the clearer it is to me that leadership is a collective activity. This happens here at American University hundreds of times every day at every level of the doing and managing hard work to reach those goals. Simply, leadership cannot be the field or responsibility of one person or a small group at the top. At its best, it is up to the organization.”

“A president’s role is to make that clear, ensure  it  happens, and provide space, ideas, encouragement and acknowledgment of accomplishments. Vision(有遠(yuǎn)見卓識(shí)) is important, but one that colleagues have not contributed to or are not widely shared will not serve the purpose. I have also learned delegation(授權(quán)) is also important to success and that it is a process of constant adjustment, not a single act. No one is perfect in the work we do, and by recognizing this, you’re developing a healthy culture that supports reform. And, of course, none of this relieves the president of most responsibility for the institution, and the need to be clearly and visibly accountable.”

“Another lesson is that crises(危機(jī)) assume a life of their own. They are a great time to learn and a bad time to plan. It is when times are good and stable that you need to examine the things that are of the greatest risk to your organization in the long term. As a leader, you must be able to provide the energy and motivation among your employees to ask these difficult questions, because difficult times will come.”

41．According to Neil Kerwin, leadership mainly depends on           .

A．the president himself

B．students in the university

C．small group at the top

D．the organization itself

42．In the third paragraph, “ it ” means           .

A．the management

B．the leadership

C．the responsibility

D．the institution

43．What are the important qualities of leadership mentioned in the third paragraph?

A．Vision and delegation.

B．Adjustment and contribution.

C．Responsibility and accountability.

D．Encouragement and acknowledgment.

44．What does the author mean by saying,“…difficult times will come.”?

A．Crises provide us with energy.

B．Crises are quite likely to happen.

C．Crises are the greatest risks.

D．Crises help people make changes.

45．What does the passage mainly tell us about?

A．The lessons Neil learned in University.

B．The difficulty Neil has in his office.

C．Neil’s opinion on leadership.

D．Neil’s motivation and organization.

He overcame thousands of difficulties to have entered a university. After graduation, he began to publish story books, and up till now, he is very famous around the country.
