A
Older friends are wonderful to have because they can give you an insight into a different time in our history. Even though there are differences between the two generations in some cases, it’s still possible to have fun and also to learn from each other. I have had several older friends in my life and they all taught me something a little bit different about life.
When I was a child, my mother had a wonderful lady come into our home to provide housekeeping services. This woman was retired and might have been in her mid to late sixties at that time. Although her job was to clean our house, this woman provided much more than that. She was always there for me on the days she came to work. During the course of the days when I was ill, she would make sure that I was comfortable and cared for properly. In my childhood, I considered her a second mom. As I grew into my teen years, she became one of my best friends.
During my teen years, I was often home during the summers and Girtha and I would eat lunch together. We could talk about anything and laugh together as well.
I learned a lot about life from Girtha. She had a very deep faith and read her Bible regularly. Even though her circumstances were difficult, she never complained and always showed compassion (同情) for others. She always rode the bus to and from work and refused our offers to drive her home in the evenings because she felt that she lived in an undesirable neighborhood and was very concerned for our safety.
In her later years, Girtha’s health declined and she had to stop working. She eventually moved to another state so her daughter could care for her. Early in my college career, I received a phone call telling me that Girha had died, which saddened me a lot. I still miss her to this day.
Girtha was unique in her own way, but through several matters, she touched my life and my heart in a very special way. Maybe it’s time for me to review those lessons in everlasting faith.

At one point or another in your career, you will report to a manager, the person you fondly — or not — call boss. The relationships that you create and manage, with both your boss and other employees in the company, are critical (决定性的) for your work success and career progress. You’re in charge of your relationship with your boss. No one will ever share as much concern as you do and the quality of the relationship helps you achieve your goals.
You won’t progress without the information, view, experience, and support of your manager. At the same time, if you don’t finish your work, your manager will never shine for his or her overall responsibilities. Despite knowing this, managers do come in every size and with all possible levels of skill and effectiveness (效率). Some managers are just bad bosses; others are unaware of what you need from them. Managing up is challenging, but finally, worth your time.
The first step in managing up is to develop a positive relationship with your boss. Relationships are based on trust. Do what you say you’ll do and never blindside your manager with surprises that you could have predicted or prevented. Tell the boss when you’ve made a mistake.
Get to know your manager as a person and he shares the human experience just as you do. Identify your boss’s areas of weakness or greatest challenges and ask what you can do to help. What are your boss’s biggest worries; how can your contribution mitigate (缓解) these concerns Think in terms of the overall success of your department and company, not just about your narrow world at work. Further more, you should look for and focus on the “best” parts of your boss, for if you’re negative about your boss, you will tend to focus on his failings. This is neither positive for your happiness at work nor your prospects for success in your organization.
41. It can be learned from the text that .
A. it’s easy for employees to get to know their bosses well
B. relationships with bosses can decide one’s success in work
C. bosses are always worried about his employees’ progress
D. supporting the boss is most important in the company

A. It’s difficult to run a whole company successfully.
B. People spend too much time finding a suitable job.
C. Managers are usually difficult to get along with.
D. Employees are totally responsible for all work.
43. According to the author, the most important step for developing a good relationship is to .
A. understand and share your manager’s life experience
B. find exactly what your manager’s area of weakness is
C. make your manager trust in your ability and work attitude
D. help your manage to overcome his shortcomings in work
44. Which of the following suggestions will the author NOT approve of

A newly published study has shown that loneliness can spread from one person to another, like a disease.
Researchers used information from the Framingham Heart Study, which began in 1948. The Framingham study gathers information about physical and mental health, personal behavior and diet. At first, the study involved about five thousand people in the American state of Massachusetts. Now, more than twelve thousand individuals are taking part.
Information from the Framingham study showed earlier that happiness could spread from person to person, so do behaviors like obesity and the ability to stop smoking.
University of Chicago psychologist John Cacioppo led the recent study. He and other researchers attempted to show how often people felt lonely. They found that the feeling of loneliness spread through social groups.
Having a social connection with a lonely person increased the chances that another individual would feel lonely. In fact, a friend of a lonely person was fifty-two percent more likely to develop feelings of loneliness. A friend of that person was twenty-five percent more likely. The researchers say this shows that a person could indirectly be affected by someone’s loneliness.
The effect was strongest among friends. Neighbors were the second most affected group. The effect was weaker on husbands and wives, and brothers and sisters. The researchers also found that loneliness spread more easily among women than men.
The New York Times newspaper reports that, on average, people experience feelings of loneliness about forty-eight days a year. Yet the study found that having a friend who is lonely could add about seventeen days a year of loneliness. It also found that every additional friend can decrease loneliness by about five percent, or two and a half fewer lonely days.
Loneliness has been linked to health problems like depression and sleeping difficulties. The researchers believe that knowing the causes of loneliness could help in reducing it.
The researchers did not study how loneliness spreads. However, the study suggests that people can take steps to stop the spread of loneliness.
46. What does this text mainly talk about
A. Loneliness being harmful. B. How loneliness spreads.
C. Loneliness being infectious. D. Why people feel lonely.
47. Which of the following statements about the Framingham study is NOT true
A. More and more are involved in the study recently.
B. It showed loneliness spread faster than happiness.
C. The study was carried out by different researchers.
D. It has been more than 60 years since it was started.
48. Which of the following groups is most affected by loneliness
A. Neighbors. B. Friends. C. Couples. D. Families.
49. According to the text, we can learn .
A. loneliness always affects a person directly
B. people should make as few friends as possible
C. loneliness may contribute to some health problems.
D. if you have a lonely friend, you are sure to feel lonely.
50. The text will be followed by .
A. steps taken to reduce loneliness B. the way loneliness spreads
C. the causes of loneliness D. the results of loneliness
D
Eating disorders continue to be on the rise among athletes, especially those involved in sports that place great emphasis on the athlete to be thin, such as gymnastics, figure skating, and dancing. According to an American study, eating disorders affect 62 percent of females in sports like figure skating and gymnastics.
Many coaches are guilty（有罪的） of forcing these athletes to be thin by criticizing them or talking about their weight. Those comments could cause an athlete to take dangerous measures of weight control and can do serious damage to the athlete. In sports where the athletes are judged by technical and artistic perfection, they are under enormous pressure to be thin, because the judges consider thinness to be an important factor (因素) when deciding the artistic score.
Athletes with eating disorders can be at a higher risk of medical complications (并发症). They are already involved in hard physical activity and putting a lot of pressure on the body. It is usually difficult to convince athletes that they are in need of help because they usually believe that they will perform better if they lose more weight. Gymnastics is one sport where the size of the gymnast has changed greatly over the years. In 1976 the average gymnast was 5′3′′ weighing 105 lbs, and in 1992 the average gymnast was 4′9′′ weighing 88 lbs.
Coaches and trainers really need to educate themselves on the dangers and on the signs to look for in an athlete that may be suffering from an eating disorder. Coaches should also bring in nutrition (营养) experts to educate the athletes on healthy eating and to make them aware of how important it is to eat properly. Guidance should also be made available to the athletes that are suffering from eating disorders and they should be encouraged and supported to accept the help.
51. We can learn from the first paragraph that .
A. gymnastics and figure skating do much harm to the athletes’ health
B. American women athletes are thinner than those of other countries
C. only women athletes in gymnastics are affected by eating disorders
D. gymnasts are thinner because the sport requires them to be thin
52. Why does the writer say that coaches are responsible for the eating disorders of athletes
A. Because athletes have to lose weight to please the coaches in their performance.
B. Because thinness guarantees the perfect competition of some sports.
C. Because the coachers control the eating habits of the athletes.
D. Because the coachers set examples of being thin to the athletes.
53. What does the underlined word “convince” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Argue with someone about something.
B. Persuade someone to do something.
C. Help someone overcome something.
D. Make someone believe something.
54. Which of the following can be inferred from the text
A. Weight control is unnecessary for common athletes.
B. Athletes get eating disorders because of over training.
C. Many athletes need help to develop healthy eating habits.
D. An athlete’s performance has nothing to do with his/her weight.
55. The writer wrote the text to .
A. warn the public of the danger of eating disorders
B. show readers how to keep fit as most athletes do
C. call on coaches and athletes to be on their guard against eating disorders
D. report the health situation of athletes in gymnastics

For millions of years, people all attach great importance to true friendship. The old saying “A friend in need is a friend indeed” has become the standard for true friends. A true friend will always be there and give you encouragement.
It is natural that different people hold different views about making friends. As for me, so long as a person is warm-hearted and honest, I would like to make friends with him or her, and develop our friendship based on understanding and sincerity.

Older friends are wonderful to have because they can give you an insight into a different time in our history. Even though there are differences between the two generations in some cases, it’s still possible to have fun and also to learn from each other. I have had several older friends in my life and they all taught me something a little bit different about life.

The first step in managing up is to develop a positive relationship with your boss. Relationships are based on trust. Do what you say you’ll do and never blindside your manager with surprises that you could have predicted or prevented. Tell the boss when you’ve made a mistake.
Get to know your manager as a person and he shares the human experience just as you do. Identify your boss’s areas of weakness or greatest challenges and ask what you can do to help. What are your boss’s biggest worries; how can your contribution mitigate (缓解) these concerns Think in terms of the overall success of your department and company, not just about your narrow world at work. Further more, you should look for and focus on the “best” parts of your boss, for if you’re negative about your boss, you will tend to focus on his failings. This is neither positive for your happiness at work nor your prospects for success in your organization.

A newly published study has shown that loneliness can spread from one person to another, like a disease.
Researchers used information from the Framingham Heart Study, which began in 1948. The Framingham study gathers information about physical and mental health, personal behavior and diet. At first, the study involved about five thousand people in the American state of Massachusetts. Now, more than twelve thousand individuals are taking part.
Information from the Framingham study showed earlier that happiness could spread from person to person, so do behaviors like obesity and the ability to stop smoking.
University of Chicago psychologist John Cacioppo led the recent study. He and other researchers attempted to show how often people felt lonely. They found that the feeling of loneliness spread through social groups.
Having a social connection with a lonely person increased the chances that another individual would feel lonely. In fact, a friend of a lonely person was fifty-two percent more likely to develop feelings of loneliness. A friend of that person was twenty-five percent more likely. The researchers say this shows that a person could indirectly be affected by someone’s loneliness.
The effect was strongest among friends. Neighbors were the second most affected group. The effect was weaker on husbands and wives, and brothers and sisters. The researchers also found that loneliness spread more easily among women than men.
The New York Times newspaper reports that, on average, people experience feelings of loneliness about forty-eight days a year. Yet the study found that having a friend who is lonely could add about seventeen days a year of loneliness. It also found that every additional friend can decrease loneliness by about five percent, or two and a half fewer lonely days.
Loneliness has been linked to health problems like depression and sleeping difficulties. The researchers believe that knowing the causes of loneliness could help in reducing it.
The researchers did not study how loneliness spreads. However, the study suggests that people can take steps to stop the spread of loneliness.

Eating disorders continue to be on the rise among athletes, especially those involved in sports that place great emphasis on the athlete to be thin, such as gymnastics, figure skating, and dancing. According to an American study, eating disorders affect 62 percent of females in sports like figure skating and gymnastics.
Many coaches are guilty（有罪的） of forcing these athletes to be thin by criticizing them or talking about their weight. Those comments could cause an athlete to take dangerous measures of weight control and can do serious damage to the athlete. In sports where the athletes are judged by technical and artistic perfection, they are under enormous pressure to be thin, because the judges consider thinness to be an important factor (因素) when deciding the artistic score.
Athletes with eating disorders can be at a higher risk of medical complications (并发症). They are already involved in hard physical activity and putting a lot of pressure on the body. It is usually difficult to convince athletes that they are in need of help because they usually believe that they will perform better if they lose more weight. Gymnastics is one sport where the size of the gymnast has changed greatly over the years. In 1976 the average gymnast was 5′3′′ weighing 105 lbs, and in 1992 the average gymnast was 4′9′′ weighing 88 lbs.
Coaches and trainers really need to educate themselves on the dangers and on the signs to look for in an athlete that may be suffering from an eating disorder. Coaches should also bring in nutrition (营养) experts to educate the athletes on healthy eating and to make them aware of how important it is to eat properly. Guidance should also be made available to the athletes that are suffering from eating disorders and they should be encouraged and supported to accept the help.
51. We can learn from the first paragraph that .
A. gymnastics and figure skating do much harm to the athletes’ health
B. American women athletes are thinner than those of other countries
C. only women athletes in gymnastics are affected by eating disorders
D. gymnasts are thinner because the sport requires them to be thin
52. Why does the writer say that coaches are responsible for the eating disorders of athletes
A. Because athletes have to lose weight to please the coaches in their performance.
B. Because thinness guarantees the perfect competition of some sports.
C. Because the coachers control the eating habits of the athletes.
D. Because the coachers set examples of being thin to the athletes.
53. What does the underlined word “convince” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Argue with someone about something.
B. Persuade someone to do something.
C. Help someone overcome something.
D. Make someone believe something.
54. Which of the following can be inferred from the text
A. Weight control is unnecessary for common athletes.
B. Athletes get eating disorders because of over training.

One Possible Version:
As a human being, one can hardly do without a friend, for life without friends will be lonely and sad. From my point of view, a true friend is just like a lamp. He gives out light and warmth when you are in sadness and feel lonely. I always feel it a blessing if a friend comes to cheer me up in my low spirits.
For millions of years, people all attach great importance to true friendship. The old saying “A friend in need is a friend indeed” has become the standard for true friends. A true friend will always be there and give you encouragement.
It is natural that different people hold different views about making friends. As for me, so long as a person is warm-hearted and honest, I would like to make friends with him or her, and develop our friendship based on understanding and sincerity.
