When I was in junior high school，darkness began filling my mind．I don't know the reason why it began．All I know is that I started （76）ffeelinghopeless and worthless．I hid in my room，staring out of the window，thinking about all my （77）failures（失败）．I even questioned whether being （78）alive（活着） was worthwhile．My dark mood wasn't constant．It would fade at （79）times，but it always returned．
It was my parents and my friends that helped me get （80）overthe dark mood．At the beginning when I was depressed，I was （81）embarrassed（尴尬） to tell anyone．I didn't want to seem weak or needy．But later I found that when I told my friends my feelings，they never laughed at me．On the （82）contrary，they supported and encouraged me．So remember：no one can face depression （83）alone．If you're depressed，find someone-a friend，parent or teacher-and tell them your feelings．Consider （84）seeinga doctor or psychologist，if it is getting worse．
In fact，（85）thoughdepression affects many people all over the world，treatments are available and can bring hope and joy back into their life．

6．It was 3：45 in the morning when the vote was finally taken．After six months of arguing and final 16 hours of hot parliamentary debates，Australia's Northern Territory became the first legal authority in the world to allow doctors to take the lives of incurably ill patients who wish to die．The measure passed by the convincing vote of 15 to 10．Almost immediately word flashed on the Internet and was picked up，half a world away，by John Hofsess，executive director of the Right to Die Society of Canada．He sent it on by way of the group's online service，Death NET．Says Hofsess："We posted bulletins all day long，because of course this isn't just something that happened in Australia．It's world history．"
The full import may take a while to sink in．The NT Rights of the Terminally Ill Law has left physicians and citizens alike trying to deal with its moral and practical implications．Some have breathed sighs of relief，others，including churches，right-to-life groups and the Australian Medical Association，bitterly attacked the bill and the hurry of its passage．But the tide is unlikely to turn back． In Australia-where an aging population，life-extending technology and changing community attitudes have all played their part-other states are going to consider making a similar law to deal with euthanasia （安乐死）．In the US and Canada，where the right-to-die movement is gathering strength，observers are waiting for the dominoes（多米诺骨牌） to start falling．
Under the new Northern Territory law，an adult patient can request death-probably by a deadly injection or pill-to put an end to suffering．The patient must be diagnosed （诊断） as Terminally Ill by two doctors．After a"cooling off"period of seven days，the patient can sign a certificate of request．After 48 hours the wish for death can be met．For Lloyd Nickson，a 54-year-old Darwin resident suffering from lung cancer，the NT Rights of Terminally Ill Law means he can get on with living without the haunting fear of his suffering：a terrifying death from his breathing condition．"I'm not afraid of dying from a spiritual point of view，but what I was afraid of was how I'd go，because I've watched people die in the hospital fighting for oxygen and clawing at their masks，"he says．

71．Which of the following has the similar meaning to"But the tide is unlikely to turn back．"？D
A．What happened in Australia can change world history．
B．It is impossible to pass the NT Rights of the Terminally Ill Law．
C．Doctors are allowed by law to take the lives of the ill patients．
D．That the Law has been passed probably can't be changed．
72．From the second paragraph we learn thatD．
A．the objection to euthanasia is slow to come in other countries
B．physicians and citizens share the same view on euthanasia
C．changing technology is chiefly responsible for the hurry passage of the law
D．it takes time to realize the significance of the law's passage
73．By saying"observers are waiting for the dominoes to start falling"，the author meansB
A．observers are taking a wait-and-see attitude towards the future of euthanasia
B．similar bills are likely to be passed in the U．S．，Canada and other countries
C．observers are waiting to see the result of the game of dominoes
D．the effect-taking process of the passed bill may finally come to a stop

A．will face his death with calm when dying
B．experiences a lot the suffering of a lung cancer
C．has an intense fear of terrible suffering
D．undergoes a cooling off period of seven days
75．The author's attitude towards euthanasia seems to be that ofC．

5．BERLIN （Reuters）-Germany's postal service has announced plans to explore improved service and help protect the environment by getting"fetch friends"-ordinary people traveling across cities-to deliver parcels on their way．
It is hoped that the move，which will be tested in the coming months，might lessen traffic in inner cities and reduce CO₂ emissions（排放）．This should help DHL，a division of the German postal service，reach its target of improving the company's carbon efficiency by 30 percent before 2020．
"As the world's biggest logistics（物流） provider，we recognize a special responsibility to reduce the impact on the environment as much as possible，"said Frank Appel，Chief Executive Officer of Deutsche Post DHL，in a statement referring to a variety of measures being considered．
The"fetch friends"find out online about parcels that need delivering to people who live or work along the way that they are planning to travel through the city．They then select the ones that they want to take．
Codes（编码） sent to their mobile phones tell the volunteers where to pick the packages up．Parcels can be taken part of the way or passed on to another volunteer but all volunteers need to have the right code on their mobile phone so the track and trace system can be updated．
Logistics companies will be responsible for looking after the operation to make sure that the privacy of post is respected．
It's hoped that this could be done using mobile phones but DHL says it recognizes that some security issues remain to be worked out．

67．According to the passage，the"fetch friend"programD．
A．has been tested for months
B．aims to reduce the cost of the service
C．employs environmentalists to help with deliveries
D．encourages ordinary people to help cut the carbon footprint

69．What may be a problem with the new service according to the article？C
A．Volunteers'not allowing to select parcels．
B．The wrong codes in the mobile phones．
C．The possibility that parcels could be opened on the way．
D．Parcels'being taken to the destination by a single volunteer．
70．What might be the best Title for the best passage？B

D．teachers should encourage students to voice their own opinions bravelyIt's nice to have friends．Sometimes you need one person to talk to．You can play games，hang out or even just talk on the phone．Consider these suggestions to meet people and form strong，lasting friendships．Well，take your time，and don't rush． ?Join an organization or a club with people who have common interests． You don't necessarily have a lot of common interests with people in order to make friends with them．But if you have something in common with them，it can make it a lot easier to talk to them and plan activities．Whatever your age and whatever your interests，there is an organization or a club for you．Social networking sites such as Facebook，Twitter are also a great way to meet new people and learn more about them． ?Join a sports team． As long as you enjoy the sport and support your teammates，joining a local team with a laid-back attitude could be a great way to make new friends．A sports team isn't the only way．If you play instruments or sing，try joining a band．?Make small talk． Keep the conversation light and cheery．Even if you're complaining about something，make sure it's something you're both dissatisfied with，and emphasize the positive-how such a situation can be avoided in the future．Many conversationalists say that it is good to follow a 30/70 （30% talking，70% listening） pattern during small talk when possible． ?Ask them out for lunch or coffee． That will give you a better opportunity to talk and get to know each other a little bit better．A good way to extend yourself is to say："Hey，well，I've got to go，but if you ever want to talk over lunch or coffee or anything like that，let me give you my number or e-mail address．"This gives the

person the opportunity to get in touch with you； they may or may not give you their information in return，but that's fine．Maybe they don't have time for new friends～～don't take it personally!Just offer your information to whoever seems to be potentially a good friend，and eventually somebody will get in touch． ?Be loyal（忠诚的）to a friend． You've probably heard of fair-weather friends．They're the ones who are happy to be around you when things arc going well，but are nowhere to be found when you really need them．Part of being a friend is being prepared to spare time and energy in order to help out your friends．If a friend needs help with an unpleasant thing，or if he or she just needs a shoulder to cry on，be there．If your friends make a joke，laugh with them．Never complain about a friend． ?Be a good listener． Many people think that in order to be seen as‘friend material'they have to appear very interesting．Far more important than this，however，is the ability to show that you're interested in others．Listen carefully to what people say，remember important details about them （their names，their likes and dislikes），ask questions about their interests，and just take the lime to learn more about them．You don't want to be the guy or girl that always has a better story than anyone else or that changes the subject suddenly instead of continuing the flow of conversation． ?Be trustworthy． One of the best things about having a friend is that you have someone to whom you can talk about anything，even secrets that you hide from the rest of the world．The key to being a good friend is the ability to keep secrets，so it's no secret that you shouldn't tell other people things that were told to you in confidence．

46．According to the given information，what quality do you need to have if you want to make friends？A
A．Patience．B．Curiosity．C．Bravery．D．Humor．
47．Those who can enjoy a happy life together but it's hard to go through hardness hand in hand areD

A．have some common interests with your friends
B．find something to complain about with your friends
C．keep the secrets that your friends have told you
D．exchange your personal information with your friends．
