VINCOUVER （Reuters）——South Korea‘ s Kirn Yuna can finally relax and does fiot need to think about the future after she won the gold medal in the women‘ s figure skating （花样滑冰）on Thursday．
The 19-year-old was the overwhelming （压倒性的）favorite to finish top of the podium （颁奖台） but said the pressure going into the event was large．
'I feel now as if a huge burden has been lifted, ' the Games‘ highest-earning female athlete-she makes an estimated $8 million a year —said after her near-perfect program where she nailed all of her 11 jumps．
'I will enjoy this moment and think about things later．I was just thrilled on the podium and I feel so relieved．I had been running toward this dream of the Olympics and was so happy to be here, ' she said．
'Since I have achieved the most important goal in my life．I am going to enjoy this moment for a while and then think about what I am going to do,' a smiling Yuna said．
Japanese rival Mao Asada took silver while Joannic Rochette of Canada grabbed the bronze medal four days after her mother died．
'I still cannot believe I did what I wanted to do at the Olympics．I have been dreaming about this moment and I cannot believe it is not a dream any more．' said Yuna．
South Korea was counting on her to grab their first gold medal in figure skating and the first Winter Olympics gold medal outside short track and speed skating．
'I was just happy to have skated a clean program．It was the first time I skated two clean programs．During the program when I finished all elements I thought ‘this is going to be yeah．．．this is it‘．'

Liu Jiaoyang, 16, carefully winds a bobbin（绕线筒） with thread, places it on her sewing machine （缝纫机） and then presses her foot down to begin sewing．While she‘ s doing this, she pretends to guide fabric （布料）through the machine．Liu looks forward to the class when she can work on a piece of real cloth, and make a beautiful dress．
Each Tuesday afternoon, after the bell rings for the fourth period, Liu becomes a fashion designer．At the same time, the rest of the students at the High School Attached to Yunnan Normal University in Kunming are also having classes a little bit different from the usual ones．Some students dance, others create robots, and still others review films．These are just a few of the other 27 elective （选修的） courses besides Liu‘s sewing class that the school began to offer last month．
'The fashion design class has become the bright point of my week．I learn how to choose colors and fabrics （织物） as well as sewing and sketching （素描） skills．It‘s all helping me to realize the dream of becoming a fashion designer I‘ ve had since I was a little girl, ' Liu said．
Design is Liu‘ s favorite, but for other students the electives are interesting lessons which relieve （舒缓） the pressures of schoolwork．Some students, for example, are learning how to play bridge．Chen Xi,15, is one of them．She said, 'Many people think that playing a card game like this in class is a waste of time．But in fact, bridge is a very challenging game that helps develop memory and math skills．'

Attitude is one of the most important factors in determining success for all people．Successful people have one thing in common—an expectant （期待的） attitude of success．Most people begin each morning in neutral and react to events of the day．You can be one of the successful people in life by starting each day with a positive attitude, a gratitude for the opportunities you have, and an expectancy （期待） of the best for yourself．
People tend to live up to expectations．We get out of life just about what we put into it．Our environment becomes a mirror of our spirit, our attitude, and expectations．If we set a great goal, we get great results．If we have a fair goal, we accomplish fair results, and if we have a poor goal, we accomplish poor results．The world will give you back what you expect, so expect the very best．Don‘t be defensive or doubtful．Nothing changes unless you do．Before you can do something, you‘ve got to be something．Know that you have worth and value．Show that to the world．
Treat everyone you come in contact with as the most important person in life．It will build self-esteem （自尊心）．Smile! You‘ll be rewarded with a returned smile．Don‘t react to others rudely．Forgive everyone who ever hurt you．Then, forgive yourself．Keep yourself healthy．Exercise．Eat a proper diet．Display an attitude of confidence．
Develop these good habits and your expectancy will be rewarded by successes．This attitude will put you into that group of people who are truly successful, because you will know and understand how an expectant attitude enhances （提高） every aspect of your life．
59．According to the author, we are likely to achieve success if we____．

You maybe surprised to learn that one of the best steps you can take to protect your health is to step outside and spend some time in the grass, dirt and water．
Our ancestors enjoyed the healing power of nature , and now scientists are starting to catch up．According to research in recent years, just having a view of nature has been shown to improve hospital patients‘ recovery and reduce illness rates among office workers．Also, exposure （曝露）to wildlife, horseback riding, hiking, camping and farms can be helpful for a variety of health conditions in adults and children．
Much of this type of research is focusing on children, and in fact an entire movement has quickly developed to connect kids with the healing power of nature．
Obesity （肥胖）．Rates of childhood obesity have grown sharply in recent years, and this is partly because of reduced outdoor activity time．Increasing the time students spend learning about nature, both in and outside the classroom, would help solve this problem．Such lessons are often more attractive for students and often lead them to become more active outside．
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder （ADHD） （注意力缺失症）．Exposure to ordinary natural settings （环境） in the course of common after-school and weekend activities may be effective in reducing attention deficit symptoms in children．Participation in green activities —such as nature walks—helped ADHD patients from a wide range of backgrounds to stay focused and complete tasks．
Stress．Access to nature, even houseplants, can help children cope with stress．
Depression and seasonal emotional disorder．Major depression requires medical treatment, but physical activity, especially outdoors, can help ease symptoms．For your average case of winter blues, experts suggest spending time outside every day and, if possible, taking the family to a sunny vacation spot in mid-winter．
Experts emphasize that you needn‘ t go to wilderness preserves to enjoy nature‘ s benefits—simply walking in a city park or growing in a rooftop garden can make a difference．
63．It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that____．
A．ancient people were not familiar with the healing power of nature．
B．modern people are not familiar with the healing power of nature．
C．the healing power of nature works better on children．
D．the healing power of nature works better on office workers．
64．According to Para．4, lessons about nature_____．
A．should engage parents in them
B．should take place outdoors
C．are used widely at schools
D．are liked by students
65．Exposure to green areas in neighborhoods can_____．
A．improve children‘ s skills at learning
B．help reduce ADHD symptoms
C．treat major depression
D．cure winter blues
66．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．You can only enjoy nature‘s benefits in the wilderness．
B．A common natural setting is beneficial to your health．
C．A city park and a rooftop garden have different benefits．
D．Too many people in the wilderness will reduce the benefits of nature．

Scientists are not sure how the brain follows the tracks of time．One theory holds that it has a group of cells specialized to record the intervals （间隔）of time, while another theory holds that some neural processes （神经突）act as an inside clock．
Whichever theory it may be, studies find, the cells have a poor grasp of longer interval．Time does seem to slow during an empty afternoon and race when the brain focuses on challenging work．Stimulants （兴奋剂）, including caffeine, tend to make people feel as if．time is passing faster; complex jobs, like doing taxes, can seem to drag on longer than they actually do．And emotional events — a breakup, a promotion, a transformative trip abroad —tend to be sensed as more recent than they actually are, by months or even years．In short, some psychologists say, the findings support the philosopher Martin Heidegger‘ s observation that time 'persists merely as a consequence of the events taking place in it．'
Now researchers are finding that the opposite thing may also be true: if very few events come to mind, then the sense of time does not persist; the brain shortens the interval that has passed．
In one classic experiment, a French explorer named Michel Siffre lived in a cave for two months, cut off from the rhythms of night and day and man-made clocks．He appeared then, convinced that he had been isolated for only 25 days．Left to its own devices, the brain tends to shorten time．
In earlier work, researchers found that a similar case at work in people’s judgment of intervals that last only moments．Relatively infrequent stimuli, like flashes or tones, tend to increase the speed of the brain‘ s internal pacemaker．
On an obvious level, these kinds of findings offer an explanation for why other people‘ s children seem to grow up so much faster than one‘s own．Involved parents are all too well aware of first step in their own children; however, seeing a cousin‘s child once every few years, without bothering memories, shortens the time．
67．What can we infer from the first paragraph?
A．Scientists have agreed about how the brain records time．
B．Scientists all think that some cells record the intervals of time．
C．Scientists haven‘t agreed on how the brain records time．
D．Scientists all hold the theory that neural processes are an inside clock．
68．According．to Paragraph 3, if we have few things to do, the brain will____．
A．make the intervals of time long
B．make the intervals of time short
C．keep a state of rest
D．stop working
69．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Michel Siffre didn‘ t think he had stayed in the cave for as long as two months．
B．Parents tend to think their own children grow faster than others．
C．Michel Diffre actually stayed in the cave for twenty-five days．
D．Children usually bring bad memories to their parents．
70．In which column of a newspaper can we find this passage?
A．Social news B．Community activities
C．Science D．Children s life

During the summer holidays this year, I thought I should do something meaningful instead of stay at home, so I got a job at a KFC fast food restaurant/an McDonald‘s and worked there as a cleaner. I worked seven hours a day for three weeks.
The job was hard and boring and seemed endless, which made me so tired that I nearly gave it up halfway. After all, I stuck to it with determination.
Every day I studied for work early in the morning and got home late in the evening. Finally, I finished the job before the new term began.
Now, I understand what labour means, I think it is really a successful experience.
附完形填空、阅读理解详解及录音稿：
完形填空：文章大意：作者是一位17岁的中学生，利用业余时间打工。一天，在身心疲惫打工的时候，一个人一句话使作者对自己的前途重燃希望。那句话是：You Are Going Places（你前途无量）。
D【解析】我去上班的时候心情非常不好。feeling down 是现在分词作伴随状语，意为“闷闷不乐”。倒数第二段的They 47 my spirit from being down也说明了该题答案。
A【解析】应付那些抱怨食品、座位等的顾客是大大小小的事情。deal with表示“对付”；help with帮助某人做......；talk with和......交谈；meet with遇到，经受。
B【解析】顾客抱怨他们就座的位置。seat是使动词，表示“使坐下”，be seated意为“坐下，就座”；sit是不及物动词，应为where they sat。
D【解析】诸如此类的小事容易造成我们雇员的烦恼。annoy表示“使生气”。因为作者前面提到了顾客的种种抱怨，因此只能导致雇员的烦恼、生气。attract吸引；avoid避免；adjust调整。
A【解析】诸如此类的小事容易造成我们雇员的烦恼。剧中的our和下文的we给答案做了提示。employees表示“受雇者，雇工”。
C【解析】他们碰巧坐在我存放过用过的盘子附近的地方。spot表示“地方，地点”。根据后面的where I keep the dirty 37 in the boxes句子，排除B项；不可能把脏盘子放在客人用餐的桌子上，故排除A；kitchen不会与客人用餐的地方处于同一个位置，故排除D。
A【解析】the dirty dishes指客人用过的盘子。因为作者是在餐厅打工的学生，所以“端盘子”才能与文章主题相符。
C【解析】顾客们的进进出出、服务人员的穿梭走动。该空指服务人员在餐馆的来回走动，穿梭服务。顾客们是来这里就餐的，不能来回走，故排除D，A，B两项太片面。
C【解析】虽然餐馆处于一片忙乱的状态，但是这三位妇女在专心的看着我。该空前的crazy给该空提出了暗示。
B【解析】注视着我为了确保每张桌子是干净的去迎接下一位顾客，而多么努力的工作。how相当于how hard。
A【解析】她们吃晚饭的时候。根据下文的I took their plates back to the kitchen排除C、D选项；complete往往用于完成“建筑物”、“工程”、“书籍”等；而finish制作完手中的事情，如：“用完”、“吃完”等。
B【解析】她们询问我上哪个年级。通过上下文，可知作者是个打工的学生，故B项符合文章。grade表示“年级”；mark分数。
C【解析】当她们离开的时候，她们走过我身边。as引导时间状语从句时，表示主从句的动作同时发生。由句意排除A、D选项；while引导时间状语从句时，从句中的谓语动词是延续性动词。
A【解析】她们从我身边走过时，有一个人用自信和温和的语调说。由下文的You are going places.（你前途无量）推测说话者语气。因为说话人在鼓励作者，所以只有A项符合语境。
C【解析】客人说完后就离开了餐馆。由下文知道，they指three elderly ladies，她们来餐馆用餐。
B【解析】根据文意可知，别人给予了作者自信的“勇气”，作者才得以重新振作起来。
B【解析】她们让我振作起来。pick up表示“使恢复精神”。put down放下，镇压；take over接管；point out指出。
B【解析】她们给了我继续努力的理由。reason表示某种行为的原因；cause表示某种现象的原因。
A【解析】有人曾经告诉我，没有学位，我就不能从事电视台的工作。下文的I‘m now a co-anchor（联合主持人）of a student-produced television 50.暗示这里的答案。
C【解析】a student-produced television show表示学生制作的电视节目。show表示“演出，表演节目”。
阅读理解：
A篇：介绍几个获奖运动员

Art‘s Self introduction
Hello! My name‘s Art. I‘m 74 years old and I live in a retirement community with my wife Kate. I retired about twelve years ago from the bicycle business. I was in the bicycle business for thirty-five years. Twenty of the thirty five years I ran my own business. After I decided to sell my business, I became an advisor. I worked as an advisor for five years and then I retired. The retirement community I live in requires you be forty-eight years or older. In the community I engage in many activities, oil painting, watercolor painting, stain glass projects. My major activity, however, is golf. Weather permitting, I play every day. We have a golf course in the community, and since I play more often than I used to before I retired, my game has improved very much.

W: First, you need to buy a ticket to your destination. From there, it‘s a hundred and thirty yen.
M: A hundred and thirty yen Okay.
W: Then, get on the Hibita Subway Line at platform 4.
M: Number 4, all right. Oh, and how often do the trains come round this time of day?
W: Usually, they come about every six minutes.
M: All right. And where do I get off the train?
W: Get off at Kamiyacho Station, three stops from here. The sign at the station is written in English, so you‘ll be able to read it.
M: Three stops. Got it. Thanks for your help.
W: No problem. Good luck.

Okay, okay, let‘s begin. Hello, everyone. My name‘s Karl Roberts, and I‘ll be your teacher for this class, Intercultural Communication.
Uh, to begin with, please take a look at the introduction in front of you. As you all should know by now, this class meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:15 to 4: 50pm. We will be meeting in this room for the first half of the course, but we will be using the research lab every other week on Thursdays in room 405 during the last two months of the class.
Uh, this is the text for the class, Beyond Language. Unfortunately, the books haven‘t come in yet, but I was told that you should be able to purchase them at the bookstore the day after tomorrow. Again, as you see on your course outline, grade is determined by your performance on a midterm and final test, weekly quizes, uh, a research project, and classroom participation.. My office hours are from 1:00 to 2:00 pm on Wednesdays, and you can set up an ap¬pointment to meet with me at other times as well. |
