One of Scotland's most active centenarians (百岁的人), Lady Morton, drove for nearly 80 years. She loved driving and spent the war years as an ambulance (救护车) driver for Bangour Hospital. Aged 100 she was still driving around Edinburgh, up to Perthshire and elsewhere — the oldest among all the drivers in Scotland. But she had her first ever accident several days after her 100th birthday — she hit a traffic island (a raised area in the middle of a road where people can wait until it is safe to cross) when she took her new car for a drive in Edinburgh.

Although Lady Morton had the accident, she didn't plan to stop driving. “Some people are just born to drive, and I think I am one of them. I've been a good driver since the first time I got in a car，” she said. “I'm musical, so I listen to the sound of the car to know when to change gear (挡位)．”

To have a second child or not, this is a question.
A concern about only one child is whether one child necessarily means a lonely child. Many parents of only child feel guilty of their decision to have only one child. There are no other children in the family for the child to associate with, which may lead to the child feeling lonely at times.
Another common argument against having just one child may be more spoiled than one with siblings. Many people believe that a single child will not have learned to negotiate with others, and respect the give and take involved in many relationships. Some think this may leave the child less capable of interacting well with people his or her own age.
Despite these arguments, the number of parents choosing to have only one child is increasing in the world. For some single child parents, the pressures of devoting time and energy to a second child can result in them selecting have no more children. For other parents, the financial burden of having a second child may be the major consideration. Another important consideration is the increasing age at which women give birth to children.
Advocates of single child families argue that there are advantages for the child as well as the parents. With just one child, the parents can give, and the child can receive, more quality time and attention.
However, there is no simple answer to the question of whether or not to have a second child. The circumstances affecting each set of parents are unique. The important thing, in the end, is to make a decision that both the wife and the husband feel confident.
12．What are the advantages of children with brothers or sisters
A．Less pressure and better energy.
B．More respect and greater family wealth.
C．Higher intelligence and more attention.
D．Less loneliness and better social competence.
13．What prevents some parents from having a second child according to the passage
A．Work pressures.
B．Limited time, energy and money.
C．The health and wealth of the first child.
D．The negotiations between parents and children.
14．What can we learn from the passage
A．The birth of a second child makes many parents guilty.
B．The number of single child parents is decreasing.
C．Nowadays women delay giving birth to children.
D．Family circumstances have little effect on parents' decision.
15．How is the passage developed
A．By providing examples.
B．By listing suggestions.
C．By offering descriptions.
D．By analyzing reasons.

When you say “I'm sorry” (and really mean it), it's because you probably feel bad that something you did or said hurt another person. __16__ You're also saying that you respect the other person and you care about his or her feelings. After apologizing, you might feel a little better. __17__ When you apologize in a caring way, you can feel good because you are trying to make things right again.
Does apologizing fix everything
__18__ Other times, it might take a while for someone to get past feeling upset. You may need to give the other person some time. Even after you say you're sorry, you might still feel bad about what you said or did. __19__ You are making up your mind to do better.
What if you've been hurt
When someone apologizes to you, you may welcome it. But if a person keeps hurting you and apologizing without making an effort to change, you may not want to make friends with him. __20__ It's polite to accept an apology, but anything more is up to you!
A．Saying you're sorry is more than just words.
B．The other person will probably feel better, too.
C．It's always easy to get along with other people.
D．Sometimes a heartfelt “I'm sorry” fixes everything right away.
E．Everyone needs to apologize when they do something wrong.
F．But you can feel good about apologizing or fixing the mistake.
G．Just because someone apologizes, it doesn't mean you have to be friends.

If you're unwilling to spend that amount of time, then here's a prospect (远景) to __36__： time marches on whether we want it to or not, and you will get nowhere.In fact, you've __37__ had dreams to do something for years.If you've made no progress in the __38__ years, it is because you keep waiting for the right __39__ to take big action，which hasn't ever come about.So perhaps it's time to take the small, daily __40__ that will help you get to your goal.

To have a second child or not, this is a question.
A concern about only one child is whether one child necessarily means a lonely child. Many parents of only child feel guilty of their decision to have only one child. There are no other children in the family for the child to associate with, which may lead to the child feeling lonely at times.
Another common argument against having just one child may be more spoiled than one with siblings. Many people believe that a single child will not have learned to negotiate with others, and respect the give and take involved in many relationships. Some think this may leave the child less capable of interacting well with people his or her own age.
Despite these arguments, the number of parents choosing to have only one child is increasing in the world. For some single child parents, the pressures of devoting time and energy to a second child can result in them selecting have no more children. For other parents, the financial burden of having a second child may be the major consideration. Another important consideration is the increasing age at which women give birth to children.
Advocates of single child families argue that there are advantages for the child as well as the parents. With just one child, the parents can give, and the child can receive, more quality time and attention.
However, there is no simple answer to the question of whether or not to have a second child. The circumstances affecting each set of parents are unique. The important thing, in the end, is to make a decision that both the wife and the husband feel confident.

An apology (道歉) tells someone that we're sorry for the hurt we caused — even if we didn't do it on purpose.
Why apologize
Apologies are one of the tools we use to build good friendships and relationships. When you say “I'm sorry” (and really mean it), it's because you probably feel bad that something you did or said hurt another person. __16__ You're also saying that you respect the other person and you care about his or her feelings. After apologizing, you might feel a little better. __17__ When you apologize in a caring way, you can feel good because you are trying to make things right again.
Does apologizing fix everything
__18__ Other times, it might take a while for someone to get past feeling upset. You may need to give the other person some time. Even after you say you're sorry, you might still feel bad about what you said or did. __19__ You are making up your mind to do better.
What if you've been hurt
When someone apologizes to you, you may welcome it. But if a person keeps hurting you and apologizing without making an effort to change, you may not want to make friends with him. __20__ It's polite to accept an apology, but anything more is up to you!
A．Saying you're sorry is more than just words.
B．The other person will probably feel better, too.
C．It's always easy to get along with other people.
D．Sometimes a heartfelt “I'm sorry” fixes everything right away.
E．Everyone needs to apologize when they do something wrong.
F．But you can feel good about apologizing or fixing the mistake.
G．Just because someone apologizes, it doesn't mean you have to be friends.
语篇解读：本文是说明文。我们和别人道歉说明我们意识到了自己的错误，会改正自己的错误，以后会做得更好。
16．选A 根据空后的“You're also saying that you respect the other person and you care about his or her feelings.”可知，道歉不只是表达歉意。

“The journey of a thousand miles begins and ends with one step” — Lao Tzu.This is a quote I picked up a few years ago and it is one of my mottos.
I was a(n) __21__ writer.I had a blog on my coaching website, but I __22__ updated it, so I had few readers.Then in 2012, I __23__ a new project called The Quotable Coach.Since then, I've sent out five __24__ quotes with reflections and exercises every single week, and I now have 1,200 __25__ having signed up to get these straight to their email in box.Each quote is 100－200 words long, __26__ I'm writing 500－1,000 words per week.That might not sound __27__ impressive but this small, consistent effort over the course of two years has given me a huge __28__ with an archive (存档)of over 500 quotes, and a book of 365 of the __29__ quotes that's now available on Amazon.Three years ago, I couldn't __30__writing a whole book.But today, I'm a published author.__31__ you too want to write a book and you never __32__ writing 200 words per day will give you over 72,000 words after a year.That's a(n) __33__ novel.It does take a lot of time to achieve a __34__ result but a “little and often” approach will get you there sooner than you might __35__.
If you're unwilling to spend that amount of time, then here's a prospect (远景) to __36__： time marches on whether we want it to or not, and you will get nowhere.In fact, you've __37__ had dreams to do something for years.If you've made no progress in the __38__ years, it is because you keep waiting for the right __39__ to take big action，which hasn't ever come about.So perhaps it's time to take the small, daily __40__ that will help you get to your goal.

Moving to a new country is very difficult but coming back to my own land is __41__ (great) exciting. In five hours or so I __42__ (arrive) at the railway station in London. I can't wait to share with you just a few things __43__ I love about living in France.
I have made some new friends from all over the world. They are great and __44__ (help). I have also learnt a lot more about French culture and discovered some beautiful places. My favorite place so far has been a town __45__ (call) Ville franche, which is a beautiful town in the valleys of the Rhone region with winding (蜿蜒的) streets.
More importantly, I was very fond __46__ seeing the enthusiasm (热情) of my pupils when they learnt something new in English and when they were excited about my culture. By __47__ (learn) a new language you gain so many possibilities whether it is reading a book in another language, __48__ being lucky enough to work abroad like __49__ (I). I feel lucky to have had the opportunity __50__ (work) in France.
41.greatly 设空处作状语修饰exciting，故填greatly。

44．helpful 设空处作表语，故填helpful(有帮助的)。
45．called town后跟后置定语，因call与town之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，故填called。
46．of be fond of意为“喜爱；喜欢”。
47．learning 设空处作介词By的宾语，故填learning。
48．or whether ... or ...意为“无论……还是……”。
49．me 设空处作like的宾语，故填me。
50．to work opportunity后跟带to的不定式作定语，因I与work之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，故填to work。opportunity to do sth.意为“做某事的机会”。
