A
Ideas about edu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cation are changing in the United States. Education today is not just a high school diploma (文凭) or a college degree. Many adults are not interested in going to college. They are interested in other kinds of learning. For them, learning does not end with a diploma. Continuing education gives these adults the chance to increase their knowledge. It also gives them a chance to improve their old skills or to learn new ones. If they know more or learn more, then they can get a better job or earn more money.
There are usually a large number of classes to choose from. Some adults learn new skills. Some take classes for fun or because the class will be useful for them. Others take classes to improve their own lives because they want to feel better about themselves. And still others learn how to be good parents, or how to get along with other people.
There are many chances ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) for adults to continue their learning. Almost any community college or public school system has a continuing education program. There are classes in schools, buildings, or churches. Most classes are in the evening, so working people can attend. The classes are usually small, and they are inexpensive. Thousands of people take continuing education classes each year. They receive no diploma and no grade for most of the classes they attend. For them, learning is something they do because they want to.
56. Nowadays, some ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) adults go to continuing education classes to ________.
A. just get a college education B. learn new skills
C. just get a certificate (证书) D. earn grades

A. is expensive B. does not cost much money

60. We can infer from the passage that ________.

Perhaps you have hea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rd a lot about the Internet, but what is it, do you know The Internet is a network. It uses the telephone wires to join millions of computers together around the world.
Maybe that doesn’t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sound very interesting. But when you’ve joined to the Internet, there are lots and lots of things you can do. You can send E-mails to your friends, and they can get them in a few seconds. You can also do with all kinds of information on the World Wide Web (WWW).
There are many differe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nt kinds of computers now. They all can be joined to the Internet. Most of them are small machines sitting on people’s desks at home, but there are still many others in schools, offices or large companies. These computers are owned by people and companies, but no one really owns the Internet itself.
There are lots ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )of places for you to go into the Internet. For example, your school may have the Internet. You can use it during lessons or free time. Libraries often have computers joined to the Internet. You are welcome to use it at any time.
Thanks to the Int ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ernet, the world is becoming smaller and smaller. It is possible for you to work at home with a computer in front, getting and sending the information you need. You can buy or sell whatever you want by the Internet.

Conventional ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )wisdom says that hardship can make us old before our time. In fact, a new study suggests that violence not only leaves long term scars on children’s bodies, but also changes their DNA, causing changes that are equal to seven to ten years of premature aging.
Scientists measure ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d this by studying the ends of children’s chromosomes(染色体), called telomeres, says Idan Shalev, lead author of a study published in Molecular Psychiatry.
Telomeres are specia ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l DNA sequences which prevent the DNA in chromosomes from separating. They get shorter each time a cell divides, until a cell cannot divide any more and dies.
Several factors h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ave been found to shorten telomeres, including smoking, radiation and psychological stresses such as being treated badly when young and taking care of a chronically ill person.
In this study, re ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )searchers examined whether exposure to violence could make children’s telomeres shorten faster than normal. They interviewed the mothers of 236 children at ages 5, 7 and 10, asking whether the youngsters had been exposed to domestic violence between the mother and her partner; physical maltreatment by an adult; or bullying. Researchers measured the children’s telomeres—in cells obtained by swabbing the insides of their cheeks—at ages 5 and 10.
Telomeres shor ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tened faster in kids exposed to two or more types of violence, says Shalev. Unless that pattern changes, the study suggests, these kids could be expected to develop diseases of aging, such as heart attacks or memory loss, seven to 10 years earlier than their peers.
Shalev says ther ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e is hope for these kids. His study found that, in rare cases, telomeres can lengthen. Better nutrition, exercise and stress reduction are three things that may be able to lengthen telomeres, he says.
The study confirms ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a small but growing number of studies suggesting that early childhood adversity imprints itself in our chromosomes, says Charles Nelson, a professor of pediatrics and neuroscience at Harvard Medical School.
66. The new study found that ________.
A. hardship has a long term effect on a child’s mind
B. violence leaves scars on a child’s mind
C. violence can speed up a child’s aging
D. hardship can change a child’s aging
67. According to the text, telomeres ________.
A. can help preven ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t DNA from separation B. are at the ends of people’s chromosomes
C. can make a cel ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l die quickly D. become shorter before they die
68. All of the fol ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lowing things can shorten telomeres EXCEPT ________.
A. maltreatment ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) B. doing exercise C. smoking D. cell division
69. Which of the following is TRUE, according to the text www.21-cn-jy.com
A. Violence can cause quick cell division in children’s body.21*cnjy*com
B. Researche ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rs measured the children’s telomeres from their legs in the study.
C. Children w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ho have shorter telomeres may have a heart attack earlier.
D. Being treated badly will make a child’s telomeres shorten faster.【出处：21教育名师】

Losing a job is i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ndeed very depressing. A sudden break to the regular monthly income can actually disrupt the life in a very bad way. However, nothing is permanent in life and you can do some things to deal with your unemployment.
First of all, don’ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t panic. Things do happen and they’ll continue to happen unexpectedly. Don’t get extremely discouraged and then land into depression. Believe in yourself and stay calm. Believe this is a temporary phase which is going to get over soon and thus there is no need to worry so much.
Once your mind is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) calm, try to analyze your situation. Why were you unemployed Were you really able to do that job Did you ever like it Were you financially satisfied Try to find answers to these questions. If you feel the job wasn’t of your choice, be happy! You no longer need to work there now. Soon, you’ll be finding a new job which will be of your interest.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
Once you know the j ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ob is no longer yours, don’t complain. Think of other ways to earn money. Keep yourself very active. Call the people who can help you out or can guide you properly. Update your resume and practise interviewing skills. Look out for vacancies(空缺) in the newspaper and on the Internet daily and give as many interviews as you can.
After you’ve ana ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lyzed the alternatives, try to improve on your weak areas. If you feel you lack somewhere when it comes to communication, attend some lectures on the subject. If you need some technical training in your field, go ahead and complete a course that will improve your technical skills. Also, socialize with people and make your social life rich.
Lastly, try ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to promote your spirits and be happy. Don’t be nervous because things will surely fall into the right place!

SECTION B (2+2+3+3=10)
Directions: Read ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.
We’re to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ld that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and dinner is the most enjoyable because it is a chance to spend time with the family. But what about lunch Few people take time to enjoy this midday meal. Most of us just rush right through it. They catch a quick salad, or buy a sandwich and eat at their computers. Sometimes, they just skip lunch.
The develop ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ment of the technology hasn’t done our eating habits much good, either. We’re often distracted (分心) by e-mail, social media, and 24-hour news. Even when we do sit down for lunch, we are more connected to our handy electronic devices than ourselves.
Unluckily, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )long working hours can cause all kinds of health problems. Because of this, many developed countries have passed labor laws about the lunch break. These laws give workers the right to take a break during long work.
A study shows tha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t long lunch breaks are good for both individuals and society. It says that taking a lunch break can help one slow down and gain new ideas. A break from work allows us to think strategically. Especially, when we sit down at a restaurant and chat happily with workmates, we’re more likely to relax and be full of energy again.
Frank Partnoy, a for ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mer Wall Street trader, says that bosses should encourage workers to take time off for lunch. However, some workers are unwilling to take time off for lunch. Partnoy’s suggestion makes skipping lunch difficult. Bosses could demand workers to fill out a form saying why they want to skip the meal.21教育名师原创作品
