Section B
(A)
In reading the world’s great literature on human excellence and personal success, I’ve found that to launch ourselves into a life of true success, we need to satisfy one basic condition: pursue our goals with perseverance. The biggest difference between people who succeed and those who don’t is not usually talent but persistence.
On my way to work one morning, I met Ruby, who is now a motivational speaker. He has grown up in Joliet, listening to stories about Notre Dame and dreaming of one day playing football there. Friends told him he wasn’t a good enough student to be admitted. So he gave up his dream and went to work in a power plant.
Then a friend was killed in an accident to work. Shocked, Ruby suddenly realized that life is too short not to pursue your dreams.
In 1990, at the age of 23, he enrolled at Holy Cross Junior College in South Bend, Ind. He got good enough grades to transfer to Notre Dame, where he finally made the football team as a member of the “scout team”, the players who helped the team prepare for games.
Ruby was living his dream, almost. But he wasn’t allowed to suit up for the games themselves. The next year, after Ruby requested it, the coach told Ruby he could put on his uniform for the season’s final game. And there he sat, on the Notre Dame bench during the game. A student started shouting, “we want Ruby!” Soon others joined in. Finally, at the age of 27, with 27 seconds left to play, Ruby was sent onto the field -- and made the final tackle(阻截). So his team won the game.
When I met Ruby 17 years later, it was in the parking lot outside Notre Dame stadium, where a camera crew was filming scenes for Rudy, a motion picture about his life. His story illustrates that there is no limit to where your dreams can take you.
56. The writer believes that the key to achieving success is _______.
A. developing one’s talent B. seizing opportunities
C. having wide vision D. sticking to one’s goal
57. According to the passage, Rudy once gave up his dream of playing football for Notre Dame because ________.
A. his friend was killed there B. his foot was injured in an accident

A. He was the oldest player at Notre Dame.
B. He succeeded in realizing his dream.
C. He was the best speaker at Notre Dame.
D. He succeeded in developing his ability.
(B)
Some nations think they must have more and more babies, more and more people, if they are to remain strong and free.
Actually, this is not so. Very often in history, small nations have conquered large ones. It’s not so much size of the army as its organization and the technical level of its weapons. Thus, Greece took over Persia in the 300s B.C., Great Britain took over India in the 1700s, even though Persia and India had far bigger population than Greece and Great Britain.
If a nation wishes to avoid being dominated by its neighbors, its best chance is to raise its standard of living and its level of technology. This can be done best by not allowing its population to grow to such a point that it is sunk in misery and poverty. In fact, the worst way in which a nation can try to avoid being dominated by its neighbor is to increase its population to the point of misery and poverty.
If every nation tries to compete with its neighbors by raising its population, then the whole world will be sunk in misery and poverty. The nations will become weak in a disaster that will leave nothing behind that is worth dominating. No one will have gained anything. Everyone will have lost everything.
Once all this is understood, and people generally agree that population growth must not be allowed to continue, they must also come to understand how that growth can be stopped. Population grows because more people are being born that are dying. There are two ways, then, in which the growth can be stopped. You can increase the number of people who die until it matches the number of people who are being born. Or else you can decrease the number of people who are born until it matches the number of people who are dying.
The first method -- increasing the death rate -- is the usual way in which population is controlled in all species of living things other than ourselves, but we don’t want that, for disaster lies that way. The intelligent way is to reduce the birth rate. But how can the birth rate be reduced?
59. In paragraph 3, the word “This” refers to _______.
A. avoidance of poverty B. growth of population
C. improvement of life and technology
D. enhancement of living standard and competition
60. It can be inferred from the passage that if a country had fewer people, _______.
A. it could still remain strong B. it would be defeated by a strong neighbor
C. its standard of living could be high D. its people would live misery
61. What might the author be further discussing after the passage?
A. Needs to balance population. B. Problems involved in birth control.
C. Methods of decreasing population. D. Opposition from some nations.
62. The passage mainly focuses on ._______.
A. why we must control population B. where we can find a solution
C. how to stop population growth D. how to become a strong nation
(C)
Unhappy people glue themselves to the television 30 percent more than happy people. The finding, announced on Thursday, comes from a survey of nearly 30,000 American adults as part of the General Social Survey.
While happy people reported watching an average of 19 hours of television per week, unhappy people reported 25 hours a week. The results hardly change after taking into account education, income, age and marital status.
In addition, happy individuals were more socially active, attended more religious services, voted more and read a newspaper more often that their less-chipper counterparts.
The researchers are not sure, though, whether unhappiness leads to more television-watching or more viewing leads to unhappiness. In fact, people say they like watching television. The research has shown that when people watch television they enjoy it. In these studies, 9 in 10 participants reported that on a scale from 0 (dislike) to 10 (greatly enjoy), TV-watching was nearly an 8.
But perhaps the high from watching television doesn’t last.
“These conflicting data suggest that TV may provide viewers with short-run pleasure, but at the expense of long-term malaise,” said researcher John Robinson, a sociologist at the University of Maryland, College Park.
In this scenario, even the happiest campers could turn into Debbie-downers if they continue to stare at the TV. The researchers suggest that over time, television-viewing could push out other activities that do have more lasting benefits. Exercise and reading come to mind, as do parties and other forms of socialization known to have psychological benefits.
Or, maybe television is simply a refuge for people who are already unhappy.
“TV is not judgmental nor difficult, so people with few social skills or resources for other activities can engage in it,” Robinson and UM colleague Steven Martin write in the December issue of the journal Social Indicators Research.
They add, “Furthermore, short-run unhappiness can be socially and personally debilitated by many positive social and personal activities. However, even the unhappiest people can click a remote and be passively entertained by a TV.”
The researchers say follow-up studies are needed to find out more facts about the issue.
63. The passage is mainly about _______.
A. the relationship between watching TV and unhappiness
B. the benefits and weakness of watching TV
C. the suitable way to watch TV
D. the reasons of an unhappy life
64. The underlined word debilitated is closest in meaning to _______.
A. worsened B. developed C. weakened D. explained
65. One saying is that watching TV resulted in unhappiness because _______.
A. watching TV doesn’t require intelligence and is passive activity
B. watching TV makes it impossible for people to do other meaningful things
C. people may see many sad scenes on TV which make them unhappy
D. watching TV is a personal activity which makes people lonely
66. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The time spent on TV watching is affected by education and income.
B. Scientist has made it clear that unhappiness results in too much TV watching.
C. Most happy people in the study stated that they didn’t enjoy watching TV.
D. Watching TV can give temporary happiness but no lasting pleasure.
