    SINGAPORE—It seems the financial crisis isn’t all hopeless: one in four people are glad the world’s economy turned down like it did, because it helped them realize more in life, according to a global survey.
    Market research firm Synovate surveyed around 11400 people across the world and found more than half had permanently changed their attitudes toward money over the last 12 months. Another 47 percent, however, said they were looking forward to being able to spend freely again.
    “The psychology of global depression has changed the way many people do things,” Jenny Chang, managing director in Taiwan (China), said in a statement. “They are making life-changing decisions based on the current global depression, such as postponing marriage, having children, moving house, changing jobs or pursuing higher education. Even in a relatively effect-free economy like Taiwan’s.”
    A quarter of all respondents led by Malaysians said they were glad the world had an economic crisis as it has helped them realize what’s really important in their lives.
    Nearly 60 percent said they would try their best to control their spending so that it doesn’t go back to what it used to be before the downturn, and over two-thirds are more interested in increasing their savings than reducing their debt.
    The majority of respondents—over 80 percent—believed their generation had a responsibility to leave their country better off for the younger generation, even if it involved dramatically changing their lifestyles.
    With the relatively high unemployment in the US, Synovate’s US-based Claire Peerson Braverman said, Americans who had lost one or more incomes in the family, had to make some of the most difficult decisions concerning money each day.
    62. What information did Market research firm Synovate want to get by making the survey?
    A. The effects of global depression on people’s money and life attitudes.
    B. The loss people suffered in the global depression.
    C. The number of people who like global depression.
    D. The influence of economical crisis on the US.
    63. What can be inferred from the article?
    A. The global depression had no effects on economy in Taiwan of China at all.
    B. Global depression led some people to give up their higher education.
    C. More people will spend their money more carefully after the global depression.
    D. Some people felt glad about the global depression for the benefits it brought them.
    64. What does the underlined world “it” in the fifth paragraph refer to?
    A. Habit of spending money.               B. Global depression.
    C. Responsibility for the country.         D. Attitude towards life.
    65. What is the theme of this article?
    A. The economic crisis made more people try to save more money.
    B. The situation of unemployment in the US became more serious.
    C. Lots of people put off some important events in their life for the economic crisis.
    D. Economic crisis helped people change their ideas about money and life.

    HARTLAND, Wis. (AP) — Lauren Panos was surprised when she walked into her ninth-grade English class in the fall and saw there were no boys.
    Her parents had not told her they had enrolled her in a new all-girls class at Arrowhead High School in Hartland. Panos still isn't sold on the idea.
    "All the girls there, they can talk out of turn," the 14-year-old said. "We are bored of tasks and it's really upsetting."
    More public school systems are looking at separating boys and girls, whether for certain classes or by total schools, after the federal government opened the door last fall. Supporters say separating students by sex helps them learn better and allows boys and girls to explore subjects they may not otherwise take.
    "Boys just make a bigger trouble in the class," Panos' classmate, Alyson Douglas, 15, said “I likes not worrying about boys causing disruptions.”
    Presently, nationwide, at least 253 public schools offer single-sex classes and 51 schools are entirely single sex, according to the National Association for Single Sex Public Education. In1995, just three public schools offered single-sex classes.
    Critics of same-sex classrooms argue that proven methods of improving education should be carried out instead of one that divides boys and girls.
    "Too many schools feel they can carry out a social experiment with students' education with really the weakest of theories," said Emily Martin, deputy director of the American Civil Liberties Union's Women's Rights Project.
    Single-sex schools are an "illusionary(错觉的) silver bullet," said Lisa Maatz, director of public policy and government relations for the American Association of University Women. They distract(分散) from real problems and do not offer proven solutions such as lower class sizes and enough funding, she said.
    "I would suggest that for many of our kids and families, especially in Milwaukee, it's a question of choice," Spence said. "We have a series of choices in Milwaukee and I just think this should be one additional choice."
    66．What surprised Lauren Panos was that_______ when she walked into the class.
    A．her classmates were all boys.          B．her classmates were all girls.
    C．the boys were all absent from class.     D．she went into the wrong class.
    67．From what Panos said we can learn that ______.
    A．Panos thinks that the idea is very good for they can talk freely.
    B．Panos doesn’t accept the fact that girls in her class have to finish many tasks.
    C．Panos doesn’t like the idea that boys and girls are in separate classes.
    D．Panos prefers to study in a class in which there are only boys.
    68．The underlined word “disruptions” in the fifth paragraph most probably means ______.
    A．trouble         B．danger   C．interest        D．happiness
    69．Critics don’t support the idea of single-sex schooling mainly because_______.
    A．boys will cause more trouble and girls will hate studying.
    B．single-sex schooling that is not a proven idea can leave out key problems
    C．it doesn’t help students develop fully and healthily
    D．it can excite students to explore the unknown
    70．The passage is probably taken from_________.
    A．a newspaper                   B．a magazine   
    C．a book of education          D．A TV programme

    NEW YORK, May 19—A new, more destructive version of the “Love Bug ” virus is slowly spreading across the world, but so far the damage is small compared with its former version.
    The new Love Bug virus creates disorder.
    Richard Saunders of anti-viral firm Symantec said the virus only affected a dozen companies around the world.
    “While it is a nasty virus, it’s not spreading anywhere near the rate Love But or (last year’s ) Melissa was spreading,” Saunders said.
    “New Love” is similar in form to the Love Bug, which swept the world two weeks ago and caused more than $ 10 million in damages. But it’s much more destructive. The virus appears as an attachment to an e-mail whose subject begins with “FW”
    If a user clicks on the attachment’s scroll-like icon（卷轴样的图标）, every file on his hard drive is destroyed.
    “Basically, it’s going to destroy your machine, ” said Eric Chine, chief researcher at Symantec’s anti-virus lad in the Netherlands.
    The Love Bug only killed a small set of files, including graphic files. This virus even wipes out the Windows operating system.
    Attorney General Janet Reno warned the public at a news conference today to be careful of any suspicious e-mail with attachments. “Do not open it, even it comes from a trusted source.” she said.
    Don’t Open That Attachments.
    Like the Love Bug, after the e-mail attachment is opened and the virus is carried out, New Love sends itself to everyone in a victim’s Microsoft Outlook address book. Fortunately for users, the lesson is the same as from the Love Bug: If you see a message with an attachment whose name ends in vbs, with a scroll-like icon, don’t click on the attachment. Also like the Love Bug, this virus only affects computers running Windows 98, NT 4.0 Windows 95 with Internet Explorer 5.0 and can only spread if users rely on a Microsoft Outlook address book for e-mail. Microsoft will soon give a fix for Outlook that warns people or suspicious attachments, the company said.
    68. According to the passage, so far the new Love Bug virus _________.
    A. has made the whole world disordered     
    B. causes more damages than other forms of virus
    C. is the newest and spreading the fastest 
    D. has affected 12 companies around the world
    69. Computer users are warned in this article _________.
    A. not to suspect e-mails beginning with “FW” subjects
    B. not to open attachment of doubtful e-mails
    C. to stop using Microsoft Outlook address book
    D. to examine the Windows Operating System carefully
    70. It can be suggested from the passage that _________.
    A. the mail sent by a friend is surely free of the virus 
    B. the Microsoft Company will take action against the virus
    C. all computers running Windows 98 will be affected
    D. the users can not find the way to deal with the Love Bug.
    71. The author writes this passage in order to _________.
    A. compare some types of virus                        
    B. explain how the Love Bug is formed
    C. tell the readers something about a new virus   
    D. remind computer companies to kill the virus

    In front of 60,000 fans, the former Olympic and world champion, Liu Xiang got his third National Games gold medal in the final of the men’s 110 meters hurdles at the Olympic Sports Center in Ji Nan, Shandong province．
    Before winning this game, Liu joined in the Shanghai Golden Grand Prix meet(上海国际田径黄金大奖赛) in September, 2009 and won the second place in men’s 110 meters hurdles with a very slight loss to his solid rival–American athlete, Terrence Trammell．That was the first time that he had shown up on the track and in public after his 13 month’s lay–off．So, this game on October 25, in 11th Chinese National Games was very critical for him to handle．After crossing the finishing line, Liu said, “The most important thing was to finish the race safely and smoothly．The result is not very good but the effort was not bad．”
    With the final result of 13.34 seconds, Liu became the first Chinese hurdler to win a National Games title three times．“I’m feeling very good now,” Liu said．“I started to compete at the National Games at the age of 18 and now I’m 26．I hope I can run at the Games again in four years’ time because, for all Chinese athletes, is a dream and it is also my starting point．I would just like to thank all the people who have supported me and all the spectators who cheered for me here．”
    It is hard for most of Liu’s fans to forget the heartbroken moment at Bird’s Nest last year at the Beijing Olympics because of the foot injury．Thirteen months later, however, the strong-minded man thrilled the home crowd with the strong comeback and would gain another take–off in his career．“I never thought of coming back when I got injured and I felt my future was in doubt,”Liu said, “But now I have seen there is still a future．”
    1．When will the 12th Chinese National Games be held?

    A．A Legend–Liu Xiang                         B．Liu Xiang Is Back
    C．Champion of The National Games            D．Never Give Up

    .
    CHICAGO (Reuters) - Smoking not only can wrinkle(起皱纹) the face and turn it yellow -- it can do the same to the whole body, researchers reported on Monday.
    The study, published in the Archives of Dermatology, shows that smoking affects the skin all over the body -- even skin protected from the sun.
    "We examined non-facial skin that was protected from the sun, and found that the total number of packs of cigarettes smoked per day and the total years a person has smoked were linked with the amount of skin damage a person experienced," Dr. Yolanda Helfrich of the University of Michigan, who led the study, said in a statement.
    "In participants older than 65 years, smokers had significantly more fine wrinkling than nonsmokers. Similar findings were seen in participants aged 45 to 65 years," Helfrich's team added in their report.
    The researchers tested 82 people, smokers and nonsmokers, taking pictures of the inner right arms. They ranged in age from 22 to 91 and half were smokers Independent judges decided how wrinkled each person's skin was.
    When skin is exposed to sunlight, notably the face, it becomes coarse, wrinkled and discolored with a pale yellow tint, Helfrich's team wrote.
    Several previous studies have found that cigarette smoking contributes to premature（过早的）skin aging as measured by facial wrinkles, the study said, but little has been done to measure the aging of skin not exposed to light.
    The report did not discuss the mechanism involved but previous research has found that cigarette smoke, among other things, causes blood vessels（血管）beneath the skin to constrict（紧缩）, reducing blood supply to the skin.
    Smoking can also damage the connective tissue that supports both the skin and the internal organs.
    66. The best title for this passage would be_______.
    A. The danger of smoking        B. A survey of smokers
    C. Quit smoking for health       D. Smoking causes skin aging
    67.  how wrinkled each person's skin doesn’t relate to_______.
    A. the number of cigarettes a person smokes
    B. the kind and characteristics of skin
    C. how long a person smokes
    D. how long skin is under sunlight
    68. It can be inferred from the study _______.
    A. smoking won’t make skin protected from the sun age
    B. smoking will do damage to skin rather than other organs
    C. smokers over 65 usually won’t worry about their skin
    D. the age of smokers is not connected with the result of the test
    69. From the passage smoking results in skin aging mainly because_____.
    A. it will lower blood supply to skin.
    B. it can make you feel tired
    C. it can make skin come off
    D. it can make blood run faster
    70. The main purpose of the passage is to ______.
    A. inform people about the result of the study
    B. advise people to how to protect skin
    C. warn people not to smoke again.
    D. introduce a new way of avoid skin aging

    Around six weeks ago, Kaileen came running into the house, just getting off the bus from school. She was all excited about a story about homeless pets because of Hurricane (飓风) Katrina and all that was going on to help them. She said that this information came from her animal newspaper (your KIND News). Kaileen has a great love and compassion (同情心) for animals, so her excitement did not surprise me. Her next ideas, however, did. She said that we should go around right then to our neighbors and collect all their change to send to the animal shelters (保护所).
    I thought this was a school project, but in fact, it was not. This was what Kaileen wanted to do on her own! Well, it warmed me all over. To see your child so willing to help others just lets you feel that maybe you had done something right in raising (养育) her.
    Anyway, I told her to make a card and send it out to our neighbors first. With the help of her older brother, Kaileen soon made a lovely card that asked our neighbors to help these pets by giving their spare change. She gave them a few days and a date she would come by to pick up any donations (捐赠). 
    Well, I had to go out and buy a donation box. Kaileen collected $279.50!!! I just thought you would like to know how KIND News had touched a little one’s heart and given her the idea to show her compassion for animals. Thank you — we really enjoy your paper.
    36. The passage is probably taken from ______. 
    A. a report about a warm-hearted girl
    B. an advertisement for an animal shelter 
    C. a thank-you letter to a newspaper
    D. a donation program for homeless pets
