  　“Image is everything.” An entire industry has been built upon the precondition that image is everything, but when it comes down to it, an appealing image is not enough. If there is no substance behind the image, the product, service or person will fail at length.

　　First of all, one should consider how important image is in the selling of products and services. Advertising agencies have raised the art of creating an image to a state of near perfection. Public concept of that product or service is certainly managed by the images created by the advertising agencies. But if the product or service does not live up to the image that was created, the customer will be very dissatisfied and possibly ask for their money back. For example , the Arthur Andersen  accounting firm had spent decades building up an image of trustworthiness. But the recent scandal (丑闻) showed that behind that image, it had dishonest business practices. Despite the previous positive image, the firm is being accused of criminal actions and it will probably not survive as a business unit. Although the image had been nearly perfect, the reality behind the image has led to the downfall of the world famous accounting firm.

　　Similarly, personal consultants can build up a public image for politicians and movie stars. Putting out positive news releases, making sure that only the best photographs are published, and ensuring that the person is seen in all the right places can build up a very positive image in the view of the general commons. But once again, history is filled with examples of both politicians and movie stars that fell from grace (体面) like the story of the Hollywood actor giving in to the pressures of fame and fortune. With people, just as with products and services, image is certainly important, but without positive substance behind the image, failure is close.

To summarize, it is clear that an appealing image is extremely important to success, whether that image is related to selling a product or service or to the “selling" of a person. But image is only half of the equation. What lies behind that image is every bit as important as the image itself—the person or product must deliver on that image or there is little chance for long-term success.

67．The downfall of the Arthur Andersen accounting firm is due to ______.

 A．its dishonesty in business          B．its previous images

 C．its bad management             D．its poor service

68．Why did some famous people fall from grace?

 A．Their images were not well built up.

 B．They failed to live up to their images.

 C．They felt much pressure from the public.

 D．They paid little attention to fame and fortune.

69.The structure of the passage is             .

70．The author tries to argue that______.

 A．image creates everything

 B．image is the key to success

 C．truth goes hand in hand with image

 D．truth and image are equally important

 “Babies are not just passing idle time when they stare goggle-eyed at the television—they are actually learning about the world,” U.S. researchers said. “Parents may want to limit what their babies see on television, based on the study,” said Donna Mumme, assistant professor of psychology at Tufts University in Boston, who led the research. “Children as young as 12 months are making decisions based on the emotional reactions of adults around them,” Mumme said in a statement. “It turns out they can also use emotional information they pick up from television. This means that adults might want to think twice before they speak in a loud and harsh voice or let a baby see television programs meant for information about the world. A mother urging her baby to eat some “yummy” soup on a brother crying in fear when a dog approaches can influence a baby’s reaction. Mumme’s team tested babies to determine. If television has the same influence, showing actors reacting on a videotape to objects such as red spiral letter holder, a blue humpy ball, and a yellow garden hose attachment. Babies aged 10 months or 12 months were later given the same objects to play with. Ten-month-olds did not seem to be influenced but the video buy the 1-year-olds were. When the actors acted neutrally or positively to an object, the babies happily played with them. But if the actor had seemed afraid or disgusted, the babies would avoid the object.

 “Up until about five years ago, students at this school could have worn anything they wanted on Halloween,” said Rosemarie Nielson, a sixth-grade teacher at St. Theresa School, a Roman Catholic elementary school in the Pelham Bay section of the Bronx where there is a prohibition on toy weapons.

“When you consider all the horrific things that have happened in recent years, including 9/11, I can’t blame any school for wanting to stay away from anything that might promote violence,” Ms. Nielson said.

　Mary Ellen Manniello, whose daughter, Courtney, 9, is a fourth grader at St. Gabriel School, a Roman Catholic elementary school in the Riverdale section of the Bronx, said she understood why officials had banned weapons with costumes. “They’re learning more about guns from issues in the street than educational issues.”

　This year, the school has gone one step further and is prohibiting all costumes at its Halloween festivities. Ms. Manniello said it had become “a chaotic scene,” with parents helping their children change into their costumes at school.

　Some parents said the no-weapons policy for Halloween costumes went too far and denied children a chance to express themselves.

　“Halloween has always been the one day when it was acceptable for our children to be dresssed like somebody they are not, like a cowboy or a pirate or a person from outer space, and now we’re taking that away from them,” said Laura Santoro, a nurse from New Milford, Conn., whose 7-year-old son, Johnny, is a second grader at Northville Elementary School there.

　Ms. Santoro said that her son would dress as Capt. Jack Sparrow, the character played by Johnny Depp in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies, at the school’s Halloween party, but that he would not be allowed to take a sword — part of a policy that caught her by surprise last Halloween.

　“I sent my son to school last year dressed as a special force Power Ranger, and he was told that he couldn’t take along his red laser blaster, which really surprised me, because the laser is red and made of plastic and lights up, and it could never, ever be mistaken for a real gun,” Ms. Santoro said. “I mean, come on, the whole thing is getting really sad.”

59. What do you think is the writer’s purpose of writing the passage?

   Since the first brain scanner was constructed several years ago，computed tomography or computed medical imagery, has become fairly widely used.Its rapid acceptance is due to the fact that it has overcome several of the drawbacks of conventional X-ray technology. 

  To begin with， Conventional two-dimensional X-ray pictures cannot show all of the information contained in a three-dimensional object.Things at different depths aresuper

Imposed，causing confusion to the viewer，computed tomography can give three-dimensional information.The computer is able to reconstruct pictures of the body’s interior by measuring the varying intensities of X-ray beams passing through sections of the body from hundreds of different angles.Such pictures are based on series of thin “slices”.

   In addition, conventional X-ray generally differentiates only between bone and air，as in the chest and lungs.They cannot distinguish soft tissues or variation in tissues.The liver and pancreas are not discernible at all，and certain other organs max only be rendered visible through the use of ratio paque dye.Since computed tomography is much more sensitive，the soft tissues of the kidneys or the liver can be seen and clearly differentiated.This technique can also accurately measure different degrees of X-ray absorption, facilitating the study of the nature of  tissue.

   A third problem with conventional X-ray methods is their inability to measure quantitatively the separate densities of the individual substances through which the X-ray has passed.Only the mean absorption of all the tissues is recorded.This is not a tumor and subsequently monitor the progress of radiation treatment，so that in addition to its diagnostic capabilities, it can play a significant role in 

therapy.

55.Conventional C-rays mainly show the difference between         

 A.bone and air   B.liver and pancreas  C.muscle and other body issues D.heart and lungs

56.It can be inferred from the passage that compared to conventional X-ray techniques，computed tomography is more     

 A.compact            B.rapid           C.economical        D.informative

57.What is the author’s attitude toward this new technique？

 A.Cautious           B.Tolerant        C.Enthusiastic      D.Critical

58.According to the passage，computed tomography can be used for all of the following except

 A.monitoring a patient’s  disease

 B.diagnosing disorders

 C.locating tumors

 D.reconstructing damaged issues

  Chinese New Year Celebration is the most important celebration of the year. Chinese people may celebrate the Chinese New Year in slightly different ways but their wishes are almost the same; they want their family members and friends to be healthy and lucky during next year.    

  Chinese New Year Celebration usually lasts for 15 days. Celebratory activities include Chinese New Feast, firecrackers, giving lucky money to children, the New Year bell ringing and Chinese New Year Greetings. Most of Chinese people will stop the celebrating in their home on the 7th day of New Year because the national holiday usually ends around that day, however celebrations in public areas can last until the 15th day of New Year.

  It is the money given to kids from their parents and grandparents as New Year gift. The money is believed to bring good luck, ward off monsters; hence the name "lucky money". Parents and grandparents first put money in small, especially-made red envelopes and give the red envelopes to their kids after the New Year's Feast or when they come to visit them on the New Year. They choose to put the money in red envelopes because Chinese people think red is a lucky color. They want to give their children both lucky money and lucky color.
