A
A ticket for the Titanic's ill-fated voyage that belonged to the last survivor with memories of the disaster was sold to a collector from the United States at a British auction (拍卖) Saturday.
Lillian Asplund, who died in 2006 at the age of 99, was 5 years old when the Titanic hit an iceberg and sank during its maiden voyage from England to New York in 1912. Her father and three siblings (同胞) were among the 1,500 people who died.
She was the last American survivor of the disaster and the last with memories of it. There are at least two alive survivors who had been too young at the time of the sinking to recall their experience.
Asplund's ticket was sold for $65,772, auctioneer（拍卖商）Andrew Aldridge said.
Another key item sold from Asplund's collection was her father's pocket watch, which reportedly stopped at the exact moment the ship sank.
Aldridge said the hands of the watch were stopped at 2:
The watch was bought by a Swedish collector for $61,786, Aldridge said.
He said most of Asplund's collection of 364 items ― which included rare photographs of the Titanic and post cards printed to mark the voyage ― had been sold at Saturday's auction.
The lots（拍卖品）were previously kept at Asplund's home in Massachusetts and had never been seen before in public, he said.
Asplund's parents, Carl and
Lillian, her youngest sibling, Felix, and their mother,

life in

B
In our life, we have rarely expressed our gratitude to the one who lived those years with us. In fact, we don't have to wait for anniversaries（周年纪念日）to thank the ones closest to us and the ones so easily overlooked. If I have learned anything about giving thanks, it is this: give it now! While your feeling of appreciation is alive and sincere, act on it. Saying thanks is such an easy way to add to the world's happiness.
Saying thanks not only brightens someone else's world, it brightens yours. If you're feeling left out, unloved or unappreciated, try reaching out to others. It may be just the medicine you need. Of course, there are times when you can't express gratitude immediately. In that case, don't let embarrassment sink you into silence and speak up the first time you have the chance.
Once a young minister, Mark Brian, was sent to a remote parish（教区）of Kwakiutl Indians in British Columbia. The Indians, he had been told, did not have a word for thank you. But Brian soon found that these people had unusual generosity. Instead of saying thanks, it is their custom to return every favor with a favor of their own, and every kindness with an equal or superior kindness. They do their thanks. I wonder if we had no words in our vocabulary for thank you, would we do a better job of communicating our gratitude? Would we be more responsive, more sensitive, more caring?
Thankfulness sets in motion a chain reaction that transforms people all around us ?including ourselves. For no one ever misunderstands the melody（旋律）of a grateful heart. Its message is universal; its poems transcend（超越）all earthly barriers; its music touches the heaven.
60. Who do we easily forget to express our thanks to according to the writer?
A. Friends not meeting for a long time. B. Former teachers and friends.
C. People we want to get close to. D. Our family members and good friends.
61. When we say something for what others do for us, it ___________.
A. benefits to people who do something for us
B. is good for both us and people who help us
C. waste our and our friends’ time at the same time
D. does harm to both us and people who help us
62. What does the writer mean in the third paragraph?
A. The only way to thank others is to express by your own words.
B. The best way to thank others is to do something for them.
C. We can thank people who help us in various ways.
D. We can thank people who help us in two ways.
63. The way to make us feel happy is ___________ when we think we ourselves are forgotten in the world.
A. to help and appreciate others B. to ask others to help us
C. to remind others of our helping them D. to ask someone to help others
C

Failure is part of the human condition. Most parents work hard at either preventing failure or protecting their children from the knowledge that they have failed. One way is to lower levels. A mother describes her child's quickly making table as "Perfect"! Even though it shakes on unbalanced legs. Another way is to shift (转嫁) blame. If John fails science, his teacher is unfair or stupid. The trouble of doing such things is that children are not well-prepared for life in the real world. The young need to learn that no one can be best at everything, no one can win all the time, and that it's possible to enjoy a game even when you don't win. The young should be allowed to experience disappointment and be helped to master it.
Failure is never pleasurable. It hurts adults and children. But it can make a positive contribution to your life once you learn to use it. Ask yourself what you did wrong, how you can improve. Success, which encourages repetition of old behavior, is not nearly as good a teacher as failure. You can learn from a disastrous（失败的）party how to give a good one, from an ill-chosen first house what to look for in a second. Even a failure that seems definitive can produce fresh thinking, a change of direction. After 12 years of studying ballet (芭蕾舞) a friend of mine was turned down. "Would further training help?" she asked. The ballet master shook his head. "You haven't the body for it."
In such cases, the way to use failure is to learn the lesson quickly, asking “What have I left? What else can I do?" My friend put away her toe shoes and moved into dance treatment, a field where she is both competent (能力强) and useful. Failure frees one to take risks because there's less to lose.
68. The writer shows a(n) ___________ attitude to the behaviors of most parents.
A. positive B. neutral C. negative D. passive
69. In the second paragraph, the writer describes the contribution of failure from ___________ aspect(s ).
A. one B. two C. three D. more than three
70. According to the passage, we can learn something useful based on ___________.
A. what we love B. what we can do
C. what we experienced D. what we have achieved
71. The best title of the passage is “___________”.
A. The More Failure, the Better B. Learning from Failure
C. Failure Is an Experience of Life D. Failure Is Our Mother

Dressage (盛装舞步) rider Liu Lina is the first Chinese rider to have qualified for an equestrian (马术) event at the Games.
“We got the letter from the International Equestrian Federation (FEI) this week saying Liu’s result (in March) has been approved and she is the first Chinese rider to qualify for the Olympics,” the country’s equestrian chief Cheng Qing said.
Liu’s qualification has made the host’s dream of providing an athlete for every sport at the Games come true.
As the host country of the Olympics, China was given six equestrian berths (名额)―four in jumping and one in both dressage and eventing. Riders only needed to meet the minimum qualification standards to participate in the Game.
The 29-year-old rider from the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region is certainly the best dressage rider in the country, having won several national titles.
Supported by the local sports bureau (体育局), since 2006 she has been training in Germany, one of the sport’s powerhouses (体育强国). And it is estimated（估计）a rider needs to spend around 2.5million to compete in the Olympics.
“She has made great progress there thanks to world-class training facilities(设施) and training methods,” Cheng said. “Her results were much better than the Olympic qualification standards.”
Liu will continue her
preparations in
72. How long will Liu Lina have been trained abroad by the time of the games?
A. Less than one year.
B. One year.
C. More than two years.
D. Less than two years.

A.
74. The underlined word “enhance” in the last paragraph refers to ___________.
A. improve B. create C. construct D. inspire
75. We can conclude from the text that ___________.
A. Chinese athletes will participate in all the sports
B. Five Chinese riders all have been trained abroad

has been trained in
D. Liu Lina is the only Chinese dressage rider athlete
