As a student, I was most 38 to answer questions in class, and I found that the students around were just like me. At the beginning of each class, when the professor asked a question, I always 39 my head, for fear that the professor saw me.
In a foreign language class, an expert from the Commercial Bank delivered a lecture. The speaker always wanted 40 to be in communication with him, so he asked how many students in the classroom learned Economics, but no one 41 . The expert said with a smile, “Let me tell you a(n) 42 first.”
“When I came to the United States to study, there are often lectures delivered in the 43 . Each time, they invite an expert from Wall Street or a transnational company to make a speech.”
“Before the beginning of every lecture, I found a(n) 44 phenomenon(现象). The students around me always took a cardboard folded in half, wrote their 45 with the most eye-catching color, and then placed it on the seat. 46 , when the speaker needed the response, he could see and call a listener’s name 47 .”
“I couldn’t 48 why they did that, so I asked the student in front of me. He told me with a smile, ‘the speakers are all top-ranking people, who 49 chances. When your answer is to his 50 or surprise, it is very possible that he will give you more 51 . This is a very simple reason.’
“The fact was also like that. I really saw a few students around me went to 52 in the first class company 53 their excellent insights (洞察力). This had a great influence on me. The chance will not find you 54 . You must show yourself constantly to 55 others’ attention for you to find a chance on the cards.”

第四部分 阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分， 共30分）
A
One day, Soapy Smith and I visited a shelter for badly-treated women located in a deserted section of the city. No one smiled a greeting, and they appeared uninterested in Soapy. One little girl in particular moved like a wisp (纤弱的小东西) in the background. The staff informed me that she had been there for over a month and had not spoken the entire time. Her mother said she had talked at one time but not in recent memory. I didn't want to imagine what could have happened to rob this little girl of the natural curiosity and enthusiasm so natural to childhood.
Spreading a blanket on the floor, I sat down and put Soapy on the blanket. As the silent child circled past me, I told the group that Soapy would come to talk to them if they sat on his blanket. Several children did this, including the silent girl. She sat rigidly at the edge of the blanket, legs held stiffly out straight in front of her. She was staring hard at Soapy. It appeared that he kept making eye contact with her. She didn't reach out to him or encourage him in any way. Rather she sat tensely, just staring.www-2-1-cnjy-com
Finally Soapy came to a stop about two inches from her. He quietly reached out and laid his chin on her knee. I was astonished. While a common behavior for dogs, this is not a behavior exhibited by rabbits, especially not by this rabbit. 21-cnjy*com
The child did not reach out to touch Soapy. Instead, she slowly leaned toward him. When her face was within inches of his, she carefully reached out and circled him with her arms. So softly that no one in the room could hear, she began to talk. Folded around the rabbit, she pillowed her head on his back and whispered to him. Soapy remained motionless.
I looked up and noticed that the shelter workers had stopped talking. Every adult in the room froze in place. Time seemed to have stopped.
The little girl reappeared when I was preparing to leave. She reached her hands out and looked me directly in the eye. I held Soapy out to her. She wrapped him in a big hug and pressed her face against him. Suspended (悬挂) from my hands as he was, I was concerned that he would begin to struggle. Instead he reached out his head again and laid it on the child's shoulder. His breathing slowed and he closed his eyes. As quickly as it happened, the little girl released her hug and stepped back. As she turned away, I thought I saw the beginnings of a faint smile.
The rabbit in his cloud of soft, warm fur had touched something deep in the child — something that had died from too much hard experience. Soapy's innocence and trust appeared to arouse those very same qualities in the little girl. It seems the language of the heart is simple after all.
56. The little girl didn't speak any word because ___________.
A. she liked staying silent and still
B. she had no friends to talk with
C. she had too much hard experience
D. the people in the shelter all kept silent
57. What is the correct order of the following events?
a. The little girl gave a faint smile.
b. Soapy reached out and laid his chin on her knee.
c. The little girl carefully reached out and circled him with her arms.
d. Soapy's breathing slowed and he closed his eyes.
e. The little girl began to whisper to Soapy.
A. c; b; e; d; a B. b; c; d; e; a C. b; c; e; d; a D. c; b; d; e; a
58. The author's purpose of writing the passage is to tell us ___________.
A. a moving story about a lonely girl who hasn't talked for years
B. to pay more attention to those children who have been deserted by their parents
C. a lot of kind people around us are offering help to those in need
D. the heart-to-heart communication between animal and human is powerful
B
How long are you willing to wait for a webpage to open before you start to lose your patience? Half a minute? A few seconds?
Google engineers have discovered that even 400 milliseconds―as short as the blink of an eye―is too long for most Internet users.
A millisecond is one thousandth of a second. People hardly notice such a small time difference, but it does cause them to stop searching, reported The New York Times.
“Subconsciously, you don’t like to wait,” said Arvind Jain, a Google engineer. “Every millisecond matters.”
Nowadays, millions of smart-phones and computers are constantly gathering and sending out information. With so many people downloading maps, sports videos, news and restaurant recommendations, you can get digital “traffic jams”. Meanwhile, users are expecting faster and faster service.
Google found that if one website is 250 milliseconds slower than another website, then people will visit it less often. This is why technology companies are now competing to be the fastest.
Google said people do expect different things from different websites because they realize not all loading times are the same. For example, a person will be more patient waiting for a video clip to load than for a search result.
Even so, four out of five online users will click away if a video takes too long to load. This makes it difficult for video websites to choose between the quality of pictures and fast loading times.
Pursuing a higher speed has always been part of the history of the Internet.
In the 1990s, when the World Wide Web first started to become popular, it was very crowded and slow; people called it the “World Wide Wait”. But engineers managed to fight the problem with new inventions. They laid a lot of fiber optic cables for high-speed transmissions; they improved software so it would work more smoothly; they placed computer servers all around the world to be nearer to users; all this increased speed.
Nowadays we can enjoy much faster Internet. Major search engines such as Google and Microsoft’s Bing usually find search results in less than a second. But they will need to keep fighting to keep up with the developing demands of Internet users.
59. What does the report of The New York Times indicate?
A. A millisecond is one thousandth of a second.
B. A millisecond has nothing to do with the Internet speed.
C. A millisecond really makes a difference to the Internet users.
D. 400 milliseconds is not so long for most Internet users.
60. Which of the following is NOT what engineers have done to improve the speed?
A. Improving the quality of pictures on the Internet.
B. Laying fiber optic cables for high-speed transmissions.
C. Placing computer servers throughout the world.
D. Making software work more smoothly.
61. What can be the best title of this passage?
A. Don’t make me “www.wait”.
B. Search engines work faster.
C. Traffic jams keep us waiting.
D. The World Wide Web becomes popular.
62. What’s the writer’s attitude towards the future of the Internet speed? 21*教*育*名*师
A. Confused. B. Disappointed. C. Confident. D. Discouraged.
C
How Much Exercise Do I Need?
When it comes to exercise, less is not more—but it’s certainly better than none. Physical inactivity accounts for as many as 23 percent of all deaths from major chronic (慢性的) diseases, yet almost one of every three Americans is sedentary (spending a lot of time sitting down). According to the Centers for Disease Control, 29.4 percent of those surveyed report they have no free-time physical activity at all. City people tend to be more active than country folks, with 27.4 percent saying they are sedentary, compared with 36.6 percent of those in rural areas.
Light activity can improve physical and mental well-being. While light activity is good, moderate (not very large or very small) activity is even better, and health experts encourage everyone to have at least 30 minutes a day of moderate physical activity. But you don’t have to head to a gym. As recent studies have confirmed, “lifestyle” activities, such as walking, house cleaning and gardening, are as effective as a structured exercise program in improving heart fun_ction, lowering blood pressure and keeping or losing weight.
In one study, overweight, sedentary middle-aged men and women who learned behavioral skills to make them more physically active, such as walking around airports or train stations while waiting for a departure, reduced their body fat percentage and improved their blood pressure and heart fun_ction as much as individuals participating in structured programs at a fitness center. In another study, fat women ranging in age from 21 to 60 who adopted a more active lifestyle lost as much weight as women in a low-impact aerobics (有氧健身) program—and regained fewer pounds in the following year.
Recognizing the value of different levels and types of activity, the American College of Sports Medicine has changed its recommendations on quantity and quality of exercise to include flexibility as well as aerobic and muscle exercise and to acknowledge that multiple short periods of exercise during the day are nearly as beneficial as one long session.
63. By saying that almost one third of Americans are sedentary, the author means ______.
A. they take proper exercise to be healthy
B. they know nothing about light activity
C. they are very fond of physical activity
D. they take little free-time physical activity
64. We can learn from the passage that ______.
A. light activity is especially good for the middle-aged people
B. people like light activity because it won’t make them feel tired
C. people only need to do light activity three times a week to keep fit
D. light activity promotes people’s well-being physically and mentally
65. What do health experts suggest about moderate activity?
A. No less than half an hour’s moderate activity daily can do us good.
B. Moderate activity is no better than light activity to people.
C. “Lifestyle” activities don’t belong to moderate activity.
D. People may go to the gym to take moderate activity.
66. According to the passage, which of the following belongs to a structured exercise program？
A. Doing gymnastics at a gym.
B. Taking outdoor activities.
C. Walking.
D. Gardening.
D
Many countries have passed safety laws that require seat belts in vehicles. A modern three-point seat belt, also called a safety belt, is a harness to prevent the driver or a passenger from flying forward and hitting hard against the interior of a vehicle during a collision. A modern seat belt will help to position you properly to gain maximum benefit from your car’s airbags that will inflate（使充气）during a collision. Using a seat belt also prevents you from being ejected (弹出) from a car into the path of oncoming traffic. Research shows that when you wear a modern seat belt, you reduce the risk of death or serious injury by 70% or more during an auto accident.
Seat belts have existed in different forms since the early days of automobiles, and they have changed from a single lap belt to the three-point seat belt we use today. In 1911 the first airplane seat belt was installed. Then, in the 1920’s they were used in racecars. By the 1930s, a group of American physicians created lap belts for their own vehicles and urged vehicle manufacturers to provide seat belts on all vehicles.
Dr. C. Hunter Shelden made a major contribution to our safety with his article in the November 5, 1955 Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). He strongly encouraged the manufacture and use of door locks, airbags, and retractable(伸缩式的) seat belts, like the ones we use today. The modern three-point seat belt, including a lap belt and a shoulder belt, was introduced as standard equipment on Volvo cars in 1959.
In 1970, the state of Victoria in Australia made the wearing of a seat belt compulsory for every car driver and front-seat passenger. Today many countries have also mandated(授权) the use of five-point safety harnesses for carefully designed child safety seats that can protect a child during a serious car accident.
An airbag is a Supplemental Restraint System, or SRS, and consists of a rapidly inflatable restraint cushion that works together with a seat belt to protect you during a collision. Modern cars often contain several airbags in various locations. Since airbags can only inflate once and will quickly deflate after the initial impact, they will not provide any protection for you during a secondary collision.
The inflation of airbag can protect or hurt you. The risk zone for a driver’s airbag is the first 8 centimeters from its pre-inflation location. While driving, you should remain about 25 centimeters from the airbag in the center of the wheel. As a driver, wear your seat belt and make sure children correctly use their seat belts. Failure to wear a seat belt properly means the airbags in your car might injure or even kill you during an accident.
An essential part of your safe driving skills is the habit of making sure that you and each of your passengers are always properly positioned and wearing a seat belt. There are many wonderful benefits of being able to drive a car, but there are also severe consequences during an accident for anyone who chooses not to wear a seat belt.【21cnj*y.co*m】
67. This article mostly deals with .
A. how to drive safely on the road B. different forms of seat belts
C. the history of seat belt development D. the importance of seat belt use
68. We can learn from this article that _____.
A. to reduce your risk of death or serious injury by 70%, you must wear a five-point seat belt while you are driving
B. American physicians created lap belts for their own vehicles because they had seen many injuries caused by car accidents
C. if two or more collisions occur during a serious car accident, your airbags can help reduce the risk of death by 70%
D. the U.S. was the first country to require by law that car drivers and front-seat passengers wear their seat belts
69. The author treats the subject of this article with .
A. good humor B. admiration C. seriousness D. disapproval
70. Which of the following statements is true?
A. Seat belts were first used in airplanes and then applied to vehicles.
B. Airbags, door locks, and seat belts were all designed at the same time.
C. The lap belt is more modern than the 3-point safety belt.
D. Buying the latest seat belts is an essential driving skill.

Possible version:
The topic of my speech today is “Learn to cooperate with others”.【21教育名师】
When we cooperate with someone we like, we will certainly feel very happy by sharing joys and sorrows together. However, it challenges us when we have to face someone we dislike. I advise that we focus on work rather than partners. It is likely that after working for a long time, we’ll find that he is also easy to get along well with.
In our daily life and study, if we want to accomplish our work efficiently, it is a must for us to learn to cooperate with others. Not only can it save us a lot of time and energy, but we can also learn much from our partners by working with them.
How can we become good partners? In my opinion, we should show respect for others. When they make mistakes, it is our duty to point them out. Finally, we mustn’t embarrass others and put them in an unfavorable position.
Thank you for your listening!

On the course of life, the first step of the lead is likely to mean the final victory, so the success and failure, or 36 and loss of your life may lie in 37 you dare to show yourself or not.
As a student, I was most 38 to answer questions in class, and I found that the students around were just like me. At the beginning of each class, when the professor asked a question, I always 39 my head, for fear that the professor saw me.
In a foreign language class, an expert from the Commercial Bank delivered a lecture. The speaker always wanted 40 to be in communication with him, so he asked how many students in the classroom learned Economics, but no one 41 . The expert said with a smile, “Let me tell you a(n) 42 first.”
“When I came to the United States to study, there are often lectures delivered in the 43 . Each time, they invite an expert from Wall Street or a transnational company to make a speech.”
“Before the beginning of every lecture, I found a(n) 44 phenomenon(现象). The students around me always took a cardboard folded in half, wrote their 45 with the most eye-catching color, and then placed it on the seat. 46 , when the speaker needed the response, he could see and call a listener’s name 47 .”
“I couldn’t 48 why they did that, so I asked the student in front of me. He told me with a smile, ‘the speakers are all top-ranking people, who 49 chances. When your answer is to his 50 or surprise, it is very possible that he will give you more 51 . This is a very simple reason.’
“The fact was also like that. I really saw a few students around me went to 52 in the first class company 53 their excellent insights (洞察力). This had a great influence on me. The chance will not find you 54 . You must show yourself constantly to 55 others’ attention for you to find a chance on the cards.”

第四部分 阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分， 共30分）
A
One day, Soapy Smith and I visited a shelter for badly-treated women located in a deserted section of the city. No one smiled a greeting, and they appeared uninterested in Soapy. One little girl in particular moved like a wisp (纤弱的小东西) in the background. The staff informed me that she had been there for over a month and had not spoken the entire time. Her mother said she had talked at one time but not in recent memory. I didn't want to imagine what could have happened to rob this little girl of the natural curiosity and enthusiasm so natural to childhood.
Spreading a blanket on the floor, I sat down and put Soapy on the blanket. As the silent child circled past me, I told the group that Soapy would come to talk to them if they sat on his blanket. Several children did this, including the silent girl. She sat rigidly at the edge of the blanket, legs held stiffly out straight in front of her. She was staring hard at Soapy. It appeared that he kept making eye contact with her. She didn't reach out to him or encourage him in any way. Rather she sat tensely, just staring.www-2-1-cnjy-com
Finally Soapy came to a stop about two inches from her. He quietly reached out and laid his chin on her knee. I was astonished. While a common behavior for dogs, this is not a behavior exhibited by rabbits, especially not by this rabbit. 21-cnjy*com
The child did not reach out to touch Soapy. Instead, she slowly leaned toward him. When her face was within inches of his, she carefully reached out and circled him with her arms. So softly that no one in the room could hear, she began to talk. Folded around the rabbit, she pillowed her head on his back and whispered to him. Soapy remained motionless.
I looked up and noticed that the shelter workers had stopped talking. Every adult in the room froze in place. Time seemed to have stopped.
The little girl reappeared when I was preparing to leave. She reached her hands out and looked me directly in the eye. I held Soapy out to her. She wrapped him in a big hug and pressed her face against him. Suspended (悬挂) from my hands as he was, I was concerned that he would begin to struggle. Instead he reached out his head again and laid it on the child's shoulder. His breathing slowed and he closed his eyes. As quickly as it happened, the little girl released her hug and stepped back. As she turned away, I thought I saw the beginnings of a faint smile.
The rabbit in his cloud of soft, warm fur had touched something deep in the child — something that had died from too much hard experience. Soapy's innocence and trust appeared to arouse those very same qualities in the little girl. It seems the language of the heart is simple after all.
56. The little girl didn't speak any word because ___________.
A. she liked staying silent and still
B. she had no friends to talk with
C. she had too much hard experience
D. the people in the shelter all kept silent
57. What is the correct order of the following events?
a. The little girl gave a faint smile.
b. Soapy reached out and laid his chin on her knee.
c. The little girl carefully reached out and circled him with her arms.
d. Soapy's breathing slowed and he closed his eyes.
e. The little girl began to whisper to Soapy.
A. c; b; e; d; a B. b; c; d; e; a C. b; c; e; d; a D. c; b; d; e; a
58. The author's purpose of writing the passage is to tell us ___________.
A. a moving story about a lonely girl who hasn't talked for years
B. to pay more attention to those children who have been deserted by their parents
C. a lot of kind people around us are offering help to those in need
D. the heart-to-heart communication between animal and human is powerful
B
How long are you willing to wait for a webpage to open before you start to lose your patience? Half a minute? A few seconds?
Google engineers have discovered that even 400 milliseconds―as short as the blink of an eye―is too long for most Internet users.
A millisecond is one thousandth of a second. People hardly notice such a small time difference, but it does cause them to stop searching, reported The New York Times.
“Subconsciously, you don’t like to wait,” said Arvind Jain, a Google engineer. “Every millisecond matters.”
Nowadays, millions of smart-phones and computers are constantly gathering and sending out information. With so many people downloading maps, sports videos, news and restaurant recommendations, you can get digital “traffic jams”. Meanwhile, users are expecting faster and faster service.
Google found that if one website is 250 milliseconds slower than another website, then people will visit it less often. This is why technology companies are now competing to be the fastest.
Google said people do expect different things from different websites because they realize not all loading times are the same. For example, a person will be more patient waiting for a video clip to load than for a search result.
Even so, four out of five online users will click away if a video takes too long to load. This makes it difficult for video websites to choose between the quality of pictures and fast loading times.
Pursuing a higher speed has always been part of the history of the Internet.
In the 1990s, when the World Wide Web first started to become popular, it was very crowded and slow; people called it the “World Wide Wait”. But engineers managed to fight the problem with new inventions. They laid a lot of fiber optic cables for high-speed transmissions; they improved software so it would work more smoothly; they placed computer servers all around the world to be nearer to users; all this increased speed.
Nowadays we can enjoy much faster Internet. Major search engines such as Google and Microsoft’s Bing usually find search results in less than a second. But they will need to keep fighting to keep up with the developing demands of Internet users.
59. What does the report of The New York Times indicate?
A. A millisecond is one thousandth of a second.
B. A millisecond has nothing to do with the Internet speed.
C. A millisecond really makes a difference to the Internet users.
D. 400 milliseconds is not so long for most Internet users.
60. Which of the following is NOT what engineers have done to improve the speed?
A. Improving the quality of pictures on the Internet.
B. Laying fiber optic cables for high-speed transmissions.
C. Placing computer servers throughout the world.
D. Making software work more smoothly.
61. What can be the best title of this passage?
A. Don’t make me “www.wait”.
B. Search engines work faster.
C. Traffic jams keep us waiting.
D. The World Wide Web becomes popular.
62. What’s the writer’s attitude towards the future of the Internet speed? 21*教*育*名*师
A. Confused. B. Disappointed. C. Confident. D. Discouraged.

How Much Exercise Do I Need?
When it comes to exercise, less is not more—but it’s certainly better than none. Physical inactivity accounts for as many as 23 percent of all deaths from major chronic (慢性的) diseases, yet almost one of every three Americans is sedentary (spending a lot of time sitting down). According to the Centers for Disease Control, 29.4 percent of those surveyed report they have no free-time physical activity at all. City people tend to be more active than country folks, with 27.4 percent saying they are sedentary, compared with 36.6 percent of those in rural areas.
Light activity can improve physical and mental well-being. While light activity is good, moderate (not very large or very small) activity is even better, and health experts encourage everyone to have at least 30 minutes a day of moderate physical activity. But you don’t have to head to a gym. As recent studies have confirmed, “lifestyle” activities, such as walking, house cleaning and gardening, are as effective as a structured exercise program in improving heart fun_ction, lowering blood pressure and keeping or losing weight.
In one study, overweight, sedentary middle-aged men and women who learned behavioral skills to make them more physically active, such as walking around airports or train stations while waiting for a departure, reduced their body fat percentage and improved their blood pressure and heart fun_ction as much as individuals participating in structured programs at a fitness center. In another study, fat women ranging in age from 21 to 60 who adopted a more active lifestyle lost as much weight as women in a low-impact aerobics (有氧健身) program—and regained fewer pounds in the following year.
Recognizing the value of different levels and types of activity, the American College of Sports Medicine has changed its recommendations on quantity and quality of exercise to include flexibility as well as aerobic and muscle exercise and to acknowledge that multiple short periods of exercise during the day are nearly as beneficial as one long session.
63. By saying that almost one third of Americans are sedentary, the author means ______.
A. they take proper exercise to be healthy
B. they know nothing about light activity
C. they are very fond of physical activity
D. they take little free-time physical activity
64. We can learn from the passage that ______.
A. light activity is especially good for the middle-aged people
B. people like light activity because it won’t make them feel tired
C. people only need to do light activity three times a week to keep fit
D. light activity promotes people’s well-being physically and mentally
65. What do health experts suggest about moderate activity?
A. No less than half an hour’s moderate activity daily can do us good.
B. Moderate activity is no better than light activity to people.
C. “Lifestyle” activities don’t belong to moderate activity.
D. People may go to the gym to take moderate activity.
66. According to the passage, which of the following belongs to a structured exercise program？
A. Doing gymnastics at a gym.
B. Taking outdoor activities.
C. Walking.
D. Gardening.
D
Many countries have passed safety laws that require seat belts in vehicles. A modern three-point seat belt, also called a safety belt, is a harness to prevent the driver or a passenger from flying forward and hitting hard against the interior of a vehicle during a collision. A modern seat belt will help to position you properly to gain maximum benefit from your car’s airbags that will inflate（使充气）during a collision. Using a seat belt also prevents you from being ejected (弹出) from a car into the path of oncoming traffic. Research shows that when you wear a modern seat belt, you reduce the risk of death or serious injury by 70% or more during an auto accident.
Seat belts have existed in different forms since the early days of automobiles, and they have changed from a single lap belt to the three-point seat belt we use today. In 1911 the first airplane seat belt was installed. Then, in the 1920’s they were used in racecars. By the 1930s, a group of American physicians created lap belts for their own vehicles and urged vehicle manufacturers to provide seat belts on all vehicles.
Dr. C. Hunter Shelden made a major contribution to our safety with his article in the November 5, 1955 Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). He strongly encouraged the manufacture and use of door locks, airbags, and retractable(伸缩式的) seat belts, like the ones we use today. The modern three-point seat belt, including a lap belt and a shoulder belt, was introduced as standard equipment on Volvo cars in 1959.
In 1970, the state of Victoria in Australia made the wearing of a seat belt compulsory for every car driver and front-seat passenger. Today many countries have also mandated(授权) the use of five-point safety harnesses for carefully designed child safety seats that can protect a child during a serious car accident.
An airbag is a Supplemental Restraint System, or SRS, and consists of a rapidly inflatable restraint cushion that works together with a seat belt to protect you during a collision. Modern cars often contain several airbags in various locations. Since airbags can only inflate once and will quickly deflate after the initial impact, they will not provide any protection for you during a secondary collision.
The inflation of airbag can protect or hurt you. The risk zone for a driver’s airbag is the first 8 centimeters from its pre-inflation location. While driving, you should remain about 25 centimeters from the airbag in the center of the wheel. As a driver, wear your seat belt and make sure children correctly use their seat belts. Failure to wear a seat belt properly means the airbags in your car might injure or even kill you during an accident.
An essential part of your safe driving skills is the habit of making sure that you and each of your passengers are always properly positioned and wearing a seat belt. There are many wonderful benefits of being able to drive a car, but there are also severe consequences during an accident for anyone who chooses not to wear a seat belt.【21cnj*y.co*m】
67. This article mostly deals with .
A. how to drive safely on the road B. different forms of seat belts
C. the history of seat belt development D. the importance of seat belt use
68. We can learn from this article that _____.
A. to reduce your risk of death or serious injury by 70%, you must wear a five-point seat belt while you are driving
B. American physicians created lap belts for their own vehicles because they had seen many injuries caused by car accidents
C. if two or more collisions occur during a serious car accident, your airbags can help reduce the risk of death by 70%
D. the U.S. was the first country to require by law that car drivers and front-seat passengers wear their seat belts
69. The author treats the subject of this article with .
A. good humor B. admiration C. seriousness D. disapproval
70. Which of the following statements is true?
A. Seat belts were first used in airplanes and then applied to vehicles.
B. Airbags, door locks, and seat belts were all designed at the same time.
C. The lap belt is more modern than the 3-point safety belt.
D. Buying the latest seat belts is an essential driving skill.

Possible version:
The topic of my speech today is “Learn to cooperate with others”.【21教育名师】
When we cooperate with someone we like, we will certainly feel very happy by sharing joys and sorrows together. However, it challenges us when we have to face someone we dislike. I advise that we focus on work rather than partners. It is likely that after working for a long time, we’ll find that he is also easy to get along well with.
In our daily life and study, if we want to accomplish our work efficiently, it is a must for us to learn to cooperate with others. Not only can it save us a lot of time and energy, but we can also learn much from our partners by working with them.
How can we become good partners? In my opinion, we should show respect for others. When they make mistakes, it is our duty to point them out. Finally, we mustn’t embarrass others and put them in an unfavorable position.
Thank you for your listening!
