    When I was small and my grandmother died, I couldn’t understand why I had no tears. But that night when my dad tried to cheer me up, my laugh turned into crying.
    .   So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing come from the same part of the brain. Just as laughing has many health advantages, scientists are discovering that so, too, does crying.
    Whatever it takes for us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional (情感的) health, and crying seems to study found that 85 percent of women and 73 percent of men report feeling better after crying.
    Besides, tears attract help from other people. Researchers agree that when we cry, people around us become kinder and friendly and they are more ready to provide support and comfort. Tears also enable us to understand our emotions better; sometimes we don't even know we're very sad until we cry. We learn about our emotions through Crying, and then we can deal with them.
    Just as crying can be healthy, not crying — holding back tears of anger, pain or suffering — can be bad for physical (身体的) health, Studies have shown that too much control of emotions can lead to high blood pressure, heart problems and some other illnesses. If you have a health problem, doctors will certainly not ask you to cry. But when you feel like crying, don't fight it. It's a natural — and healthy — emotional response (反应).
    60. Why didn't the author cry when her grandmother died?
    A. Because her father did not --ant her to feel too sad.
    B. Because she did not love her grandmother.
    C. Because she was too shy to cry at that time.
    D. Tie author doesn’t give the explanation.
    61, It can be inferred from the text that ______.
    A. there are two ways to keep healthy
    B. crying does more good to health than laughing
    C. crying and laughing play the same roles
    D. emotional health has a close relationship to physical health
    62. According to the author, which of the following statements is true?
    A. Crying is the best way to get help from others.
    B. Fighting back tears may cause some health problems.
    C. We will never know our deep feelings unless we cry.
    D. We must cry if we want to reduce pressure.
    63. What might be the most suitable title for the text?
    A. Power of Tears         B. How to Keep Healthy
    C. Why We Cry           D. A New Scientific Discovery

    60---63    DDBA  

    60.D 点评：文章第一段第一句话提及，但没有进一步解释，因为 I couldn’t understand why I had not ears。
    61.D 点评：根据全文意义以及文章最后一句话 It’s natural—and healthy—emotional response可以推断答案为D。
    62.B 点评：文章最后一段第一、二句话表明答案为B。
    63.A 点评：Power of Tears符合全文主旨。How to keep Healthy太宽泛；Why we Cry中Why无信息支撑；D概括太过。

    A child's birthday party doesn't have to be a hassle; it can be a basket of fun, according to Beth Anaclerio, an Evaston mother of two, ages 4 and 18 months.
    　　"Having a party at home usually requires a lot of running around on the part of the parents, and often the birthday boy or girl gets lost in wild excitement. But it really doesn't have to be that way," said Anaclerio. Last summer, Anaclerio and her friend Jill Garlisle, a Northbrook mother of a 2-year-old, founded a home party-planning business called "A Party in a Basket." Their goal is to help parents and children share in the fun part of party planning, like choosing the subject or making a cake, while they take care of everything.
    　　Drawing on their experiences as mothers, they have created（制作）10 ready-to-use, home party packages. Everything a family needs to plan a party, except the cake and ice cream, is delivered to the home in a large basket.
    　　"Our parties are aimed for children 2 to 10."Anaclerio said, "and they're very interactive（互动）and creative in that they build a sense of drama based on a subject. For example, at the Soda Shoppe party the guests become waiters and waitresses and build wonderful ice cream creations."
    　　The standard ＄200 package for eight children includes a basket filled with invitations, gifts, games and prizes, paper goods, a party planner and the like. For more information, call Anaclerio at 708-864-6584 or Carlisle at 708-205-9141.
    72. The main purpose of writing this text is ____.
    　　A. to share information about party planning
    　　B. to introduce the joys of a birthday party
    　　C. to announce a business plan
    　　D. to sell a service
    73. The most important idea behind the kind of party planning described here is that ____.
    　　A. it brings parents and children closer together
    　　B. guests play a part in the preparation of a party
    　　C. parents are spared the trouble of sending invitations
    　　D. it provides a subject of conversation
    74. What does the underlined word "hassle"（Paragraph 1） probably mean？
    　　A. a party designed by specialists
    　　B. a plan requiring careful thought
    　　C. a situation causing difficulty or trouble
    　　D. a demand made by guests
    75. Which of the following is most likely to be a party planner？

    All her life,my mother wanted busy children.It was very important that her house should remain at all times clean and tidy.
    You could turn your back for a moment in my mother’s house,leave a half-written letter on the dining room table,a magazine open on the chair,and turn around to find that my mother had “put it back where it belonged,”as she explained.
    My wife,one of her first visits to my mother’s house,placed a packet of biscuits on an end table and went to the kitchen to fetch a drink.When she returned,she found the packet had been removed.Confused(疑惑的),she set down her drink and went back to the kitchen for more biscuits,only to return to find that her drink had disappeared.Up to then she had guessed that everyone in my family held onto their drinks,so as not to make water rings on the end tables.Now she knows better.
    These disappearances had a confusing effect on our family.We were all inclined to(有……的倾向) forgetfulness,and it was common for one of us,upon returning from the bathroom,to find that every sign of his work in progress had disappeared suddenly.“Do you remember what I was doing?”was a question frequently asked,but rarely answered.
    Now my sister has developed a second-hand love of clean windows,and my brother does the cleaning in his house,perhaps to avoid having to be the one to lift his feet.I try not to think about it too much,but I have at this later time started to dust the furniture once a week.
    We have all become busy persons.

    Life on-line can be a much richer experience when you aren’t restricted to just written words and still pictures.Even if you’re new to the Net,you’ve probably heard about multimedia on-line—listening to audio,watching animations and videos,even playing in three-dimensional space.Sound and movement make information come alive.
    To experience it,you’ll need special pieces of software called plug-ins.The term “plug-in” refers to a small,add-on piece of software which extends the capabilities of your web browser,like Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Explorer,turning your computer into a radio or TV.
    When you arrive at a web page which contains a file requiring a plug-in which you don’t have,you will usually receive a message asking if you want to get it by downloading it and installing it into your computer.Most of the time,the installation will be automatic.
    Occasionally,you’ll run into a downloaded file which needs to be decompressed or un-zipped before installation.Once installed,plug-ins run automatically,without you having to do anything.
    Many multimedia controls still need to be obtained from the developer but are installed automatically.
    Shockwave is a good example of this.All you need to do is go to the Macromedia site and click on the link to install the ActiveX control.The rest happens automatically.The next time you go to a “Shocked” website,the Shockwave control loads and plays the movie.
    Most plug-ins and controls can be downloaded for free on the Internet,although not all will work with every system.Some of them,for instance,only work with Windows 95.
    小题1:Plug-ins can help us to do all of the following except _________.
    A．listening to music
    B．watching animations and videos
    C．playing three-dimensioned games
    D．searching for information on the net
    小题2:The correct explanation about “plug-in” is _________.
    A．a radio or TV connected with a computer
    B．a small,add-on piece of hardware which improves your web browser
    C．a small,add-on piece of software which can turn your computer into a radio or TV
    D．a small,add-on piece of software like Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Explorer
    小题3:When we go to a “shocked” website a second time,_________.
    A．we should go to the Macromedia site and click on the link to install the Active X control
    B．the shockwave control loads itself and plays the movie for us
    C．we will be asked whether to download the shockwave control or not
    D．we have to buy the shockwave control and load it
    小题4:Most of the time,how can we get a plug-in before automatic installation?
    A．We have to buy it from the developer.
    B．We have to borrow it from the developer.
    C．We have to rent it from the developer.
    D．We can obtain from the developer without paying.

    There are going to be moments in life when you must make very important decisions. You will find many people  36  to offer you advice if you ask for it (and even if you don’t), but always remember that the life you  37  is yours and nobody else’s. It’s important to decide for yourself what’s important to you and what you want before you   38   others. Because while there will be times  39  outside advice proves wise, there will be at least as many times when it proves completely  40 . The only way to really evaluate other folks’ advice is to first learn everything that you can about whatever challenge you are  41 . Once you’ve done that, in most cases you should be able to make a wise decision  42   anyway.
    You were   43   with the ability to decide what is and what isn’t in your best interest. Most of the time, you will make the right decision and  44  the appropriate actions, and in thinking for yourself, you will become far more successful than if you had gone
    against your own   45  .
    Early on in my investment career, I made the mistake of  46  a few important business decisions on colleagues’ opinions instead of conducting the   47   necessary to make a wise decision. It wasn’t due to   48   on my part; no one could ever accuse me of that. But, being   49  to Wall Street, I intended to assume that my more senior  50  knew more than I did, and so I  51  too much significance to their opinions.
    You know what happened? Each of those investments ended in  52  . Eventually I stopped allowing myself to be influenced by  53  and began doing the work myself and making my own decisions. It took me until I was almost 30 years old to  54   this—it’s never too late for a person to change his approach both to   55  and to life.

    The “Monday morning feeling” could be a crushing pain in the chest which leaves y
    ou sweating and gasping for breath. Recent research from Germany and Italy shows that heart attacks are more common on Monday mornings and doctors blame the stress of returning to work after the weekend break.
    　The risk of having a heart attack on any given day should be one in seven, but a six-year study helped by researchers at the Free University of Berlin of more than 2600 Germans showed that the average person had a 20 percent high chance of having a heart attack on a Monday than on any other day.
    　 Working Germans are particularly not protected against attack, with a 33 percent higher risk at the beginning of the working week. Non-workers, by comparison, appear to be no more at risk on a Monday than any other day.
    　A study of 11000 Italians proved 8 a.m. on a Monday morning as the most stressful time for the heart, and both studies showed that Sunday is the least stressful day, with fewer heart attacks in both countries.
    　The findings could lead to a better understanding of what is the immediate cause of heart attacks, according to Dr Stefan Willich of the Free University. “We know a lot about long-term risk factors such as smoking and cholesterol (胆固醇) but we don’t know what actually causes heart attacks, so we can’t give clear advice on how to prevent them,” he said.
    　Monday mornings have a double helping of stress for the working body as it makes rapid change from sleep to activity, and from the relaxing weekend to the pressures of work.
    　“When people get up, their blood pressure and heart rate go up and there are hormonal (内分泌) changes in their bodies,” Willich explained. “ All these things can have an unfavorable effect in the blood system and increase the risk of a clot (血凝块) in the arteries (动脉) which will cause a heart attack.
    　 “When people return to work after a weekend off, the pace of their life changes. They have a higher workload, more stress, more anger and more physical activity,” said Willich.
    72．Monday morning feeling, as this passage shows, _________.
    A．is not so serious as people thought
    B．is harmful to working people in developed countries
    C．is the first killer in Germany and Italy
    D．is created by researchers in Germany and Italy
