    17．DAD was always full of advice，but one of the biggest lessons he taught me one summer was about having a strong work ethic （道德）．When my brother and I were growing up，we mowed （修剪） yards during the summer to earn pocket change．Dad was our salesman．He told our neighbors about our service and offered a price they could not refuse．My brother and I got﹩10 （64yuan） per yard．I later found out that our friends were charging﹩20or more for the same amount of work．
    Every time we headed out to mow lawns，Dad was there to watch．I used to wonder why he came with us．He stood supervising （监督） our work in the heat when he could have been inside relaxing with air conditioning and an icy drinking
    One day we were cutting our next-door neighbor's yard．She always waited until the grass was knee-high to call us over．To make matters worse，we had an old lawn mower．This particular afternoon，I was finishing up and was tired and sweaty．
    I was just about to cut off the lawn mower when I saw Dad pointing to one piece of grass．He yelled："You missed a piece．"
    I frowned，hoping he would let it slide and let me go home．He kept pointing．So，tired and disappointed，I went back to cut that piece of grass．I mumbled to myself："That one piece isn't hurting anyone．Why won't he just let it go？"
    But when I reached adulthood，I understood his message：When you're running a business，the work you do says a great deal about you．If you want to be seen as an entrepreneur （企业家） with integrity （诚实），you must deliver a quality product．That single blade of grass meant the job was not done．
    Other neighbors took notice of the good work we did and we soon got more business．We started out with one client （客户），but by the end of the summer we had five．

    48．What lesson did the author learn from his dad？A
    A．Being an honest person．
    B．Being strict with oneself．
    C．How to earn pocket change．
    D．How to provide a quality product．
    49．When the author worked on the neighbor's yard，C．
    A．he was too tired to finish
    B．he complained loudly about the tall grass
    C．his father insisted on him being thorough
    D．his father only appeared at the end for an inspection

    A．he should go to his father more often for advice
    B．his father didn't believe he could do his best
    C．the product you deliver shows the face of your business
    D．low prices and quality service are key to successful businesses
    51．From the text，we can infer thatC．
    A．the author always followed his father's advice

    C．the author is thankful for the lesson his father taught him
    D．the author believes that working for your neighbors is a good start for a business．

    分析 文章讲述了作者的父亲对自己的教育．我和弟弟在暑假的时候给别人修剪草坪挣零花钱．每次我们去干活，父亲都跟着．有一天我们给邻居家修剪草坪，院子里的草长得很高，做完工作后我们很累．就在我们准备离开时，父亲指着一块没有修剪的草坪，对我们大声说你们漏了一块．我们只好重新修剪．从这件事中我们知道了做任何事都要有专业素养，这是一个道德规范问题．

    解答 48-51．ACCC

    8．What will man be like in the future-in 5，000 or even 50，000 years from now？We can only make guesses，of course，but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today，for man is slowly changing all the time．
    Let us take an obvious example．Man，even five hundred years ago，was shorter than he is today．Now，on average，men are about three inches taller．Five hundred years is relatively a short period of time，so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller．Again，in the modern world we use our brains a great deal．Even so，we still make use of only about 20% of the brain's capacity（容量）．As time goes on，however，we shall have to use our brains more and more，and eventually we shall need larger ones！This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head，in particular，the forehead will grow larger．
    Nowadays our eyes are in constant use．In fact，we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses．But over a very long period of time it is likely that man's eyes will grow stronger．
    On the other hand，we tend to make less use of our arms and legs．These，as a result，are likely to grow weaker．At the same time，however，our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life．
    But what about hair？This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer．In the future，then，both sexes are likely to be bald．
    Perhaps all these give the impression that in the future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at！This may well be true．All the same，in spite of all these changes，future man will still have a lot in common with us．He will still be a human being，with thoughts and emotions similar to our own．

    32．The passage mainly tells us thatA．
    A．future man will look quite different from us
    B．man's life will be different in the future
    C．man is growing taller and uglier as time passes
    D．man's organs'functions will be on the wane
    33．What serves as the evidence that man is changing？B
    A．Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had．
    B．Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years．
    C．Man's arms and legs have become lighter and weaker．
    D．Man's hair is getting thinner and thinner．
    34．Which of the following is TRUE about a human being in the future？C
    A．His fingers grow weaker because he doesn't have to make use of them．
    B．He has smaller eyes and wears better glasses．
    C．He is hairless because hair is no longer useful．
    D．He thinks and feels in different ways．
    35．It is implied thatD．
    A．human beings will become less attractive in the future
    B．human beings hope for a change in the future life
    C．future life is always predictable（可预测的）
    D．less use of a bodily organ may lead to its degeneration（退化）

    This applies to all fields，not just the work-related ones．Maybe you want to improve your health，become a more energetic person．Or maybe you want to improve your study，your relations or perhaps do some personal development．
    One hour a day is not much．But if you read for one hour a day on weekdays，that's about 260hours a year．That's a large number of books and a lot of useful advice．

    2．I really don't have the time…
    Answer：Buy audiobooks and listen to them in the car while driving to and from work．Or copy them to your MP3-player and listen while riding your bike/bus to work or school．Recently selling audiobooks through MP3-downloads has become popular…
    Shut off the TV a little earlier and start reading．

    C．It's dangerous to listen to audiobooks while driving or riding．
    D．Audiobooks are a good solution to the problem of having no time to read．

    12．Whether we're 2 years old or 62，our reasons for lying are mostly the same：to get out of trouble，for personal gain and to make ourselves look better in the eyes of others．But a growing body of research is raising questions about how a child's lie is different from an adult's lie，and how the way we deceive changes as we grow．
    "Parents and teachers who catch their children lying should not be alarmed．Their children are not going to turn out to be abnormal liars，"says Dr．Lee，a professor at the University of Toronto and director of the Institute of Child Study．He has spent the last 15 years studying how lying changes as kids get older，why some people lie more than others as well as which factors can reduce lying．The fact that children tell lies is a sign that they have reached a new developmental stage．Dr．Lee conducted a series of studies in which they bring children into a lab with hidden cameras．Children and young adults aged 2 to 17 are likely to lie while being told not to look at a toy，which is put behind the child's back．Whether or not the child takes a secret look is caught on tape．
    For young kids，the desire to cheat is big and 90% take a secret look in these experiments．When the test-giver returns to the room，the child is asked if he or she looked secretly．At age 2，about a quarter of children will lie and say they didn't．By 3，half of kids will lie，and by 4，that figure is 90%，studies show．
    Researchers have found that it's kids with better understanding abilities who lie more．That's because to lie you also have to keep the truth in mind，which includes many brain processes，such as combining several sources of information and faking that information．The ability to lie-and lie successfully-is thought to be related to development of brain regions that allow so called"executive functioning"，or higher order thinking and reasoning abilities．Kids who perform better on tests that involve executive functioning also lie more．
    62．What's the purpose of children telling lies？B
    A．To help their friends out．
    B．To get rid of trouble．
    C．To get attention from others．
    D．To create a popular image．
    63．The underlined word"deceive"in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by"B"．
    A．handle troubles                                       
    B．tell lies  
    C．raise questions                                   
    D．do research
    64．From the second paragraph we can know thatC．
    A．which factors can reduce lying
    B．why some lie more than others
    C．it is normal for kids to tell lies
    D．how lying changes as kids grow
    65．What is NOT included in the passage？A
    A．What to do with lying children．
    B．Which kind of kids tells more lies．
    C．Experiments about lying of young kids．
    D．The reasons why kids tell lies．

    2．Light travels at a speed which is about a million times faster than the speed of sound．In one second，light travels about 300，000km，but sound travels only 344m．You can get some idea of this difference by watching the start of a race．If you stand some distance away from the starter，you can see smoke come from his gun before the sound reaches your ears．This great speed of light produces some strange facts．Sunlight takes about 8minutes to reach us．If you look at the light of the moon tonight，remember that the light rays（光线）left the moon 1.3seconds before they reached you．The nearest star is so far away that the light which you can see from it tonight started to travel towards you four years ago at a speed of nearly 2million km per minute．In some cases（在某种情况下）the light from one of tonight's stars started on its journey to you before you were born．
    Thus，if we want to be honest，we cannot say"The stars are shinning tonight．"We have to say，"The stars look pretty．They were shining four years ago but their light has only just reached Earth．"

    41．If you stand 200meters away from a man who is firing a gun to start a race，you will find out thatB．
    A．you can hear the gun before you see the smoke．

    C．the sound of the gun will reach you before the man fires his gun．
    D．sound travels about a million times faster than light．
    42．Sunlight clearlyA than the light of the moon．
    A．has to travel a greater distance
    B．moves less quickly
    C．travels much more quickly
    D．is less powerful
    43．What does"it"in the second paragraph refer to？C
    A．moon light    
    B．light rays  
    C．the nearest star   
    D．the moon
    44．The scientific way of saying"The stars are shining tonight"should beC．
    A．the  stars have been shining all the time．
    B．the  stars seen tonight will be shining four years later．
    C．the  stars were shining long ago but are seen tonight．
    D．the  starlight seen today could be seen four years ago．
    45．The light of the nearest star you see tonight has beenD for years．
    A．on the earth
