A
A 14-year-old girl was attacked by a grey bear while competing in a bike race. She managed to whisper the word "bear" to her rescuer. The girl suffered serious head, neck and leg wounds. Now she is in a dangerous condition in hospital.
The girl was taking part in a 24-hour race through Bicentennial Park in Alaska when she was attacked by the bear. Bicentennial Park is next to Chugach State Park where some wild animals live.
The animal attacked the girl in a heavily wooded area at about 1:30 am. The girl called emergency services but she was unable to say any word. Another rider Peter Basinger found her lying unconscious on the ground. He told the Anchorage Daily News that she managed to say the word "bear" when he stopped to help. Her helmet(头盔) had been ripped off (撞掉) in the attack and rolled into the woods. Mr. Basinger waited with the girl for about 20 minutes until doctors arrived. Armed police trekked (长途跋涉) 3 km with doctors to pick up the girl.
Animal expert Rick Sinnott said something must be done as soon as possible to prevent the bear from attacking people again. "It was extremely terrifying," he said.
Mr. Sinnott told the Anchorage Daily News that the bear might be a mother. It hurt two runners on a nearby path two weeks ago. He also said that the girl was lucky to have been wearing a bike helmet because the bear had bitten her head several times.

There are many ways to find a job. It can be as easy as walking into a neighborhood store to look at its announcement board（布告板）. Local stores often have areas where people can put small signs telling what kind of service they need or can provide. Such services include caring for children or cleaning houses.
Or, job searchers can look in the newspaper. Local newspapers have employment announcements placed by companies seeking workers.
Another popular tool for finding jobs is the Internet. For example, people in four hundred and fifty cities around the world can use the Craigslist Web site to buy objects(物品), meet people or find a job. Craigslist says that it receives two million new job listings（表） each month.
Another useful way to find a job is through a college or university. For example, students at the University of Texas in Austin can go to the Career Exploration Center to get help in finding a job. Of course, looking for a job requires knowing what kind of work you want to do. For example, there is a book called “What Color is Your Parachute (降落伞)?” by Richard Bolles. This book has been helping people choose a career (职业) since it was first published in nineteen seventy.
Some experts also help people find jobs. Susan W. Miller owns a company called California Career Services in Los Angeles. She says her company helps people find jobs by first helping them understand their strengths, goals and interests. Then she provides them with methods and resources to help them find the right job.

Remembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it.
Recite and repeat in conversation.
When you hear a person’s name, repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.
Ask the other person to recite and repeat.
You can let other people help you remember their names. After you’ve been introduced to someone，ask that person to spell the name mad pronounce（发音） it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort you’re making to learn their names.
Admit you don’t know.
Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy（同情） if you say, “I’m working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue（一时想不起来）. What is it again?”
Use associations（联想）.
Link each person yon meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example, you could make a mental note: "Vicki Cheng－tall, black hair.” To reinforce (加强) your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.
Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.
When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.
Go early.
Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. That's fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others -- an automatic(自动的) review for you.
63. How will most people feel when you try hard to remember their names?
A. They will be moved.
B. They will be happy.
C. They will be angry.
D. They will be discouraged.

A. ask others to help you
B. tell him a white lie
C. ask him for pity
D. tell him the truth
65. When you meet a group of people, it is better to remember __________.
A. a couple of names first
B. all their names
C. just their last names
D. as many names as possible
66. What does the text mainly tell us?
A. How to recite and repeat names.
B. Importance of attending parties.
C. How to make use of associations.
D. Tips on an important social skill.

Cheating can happen in a lot of different ways. When people cheat, it’s not fair to other people, like the kids who studied for the test or who were the true winners of a game.
Many people like the action of cheating. It makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answers on the test. But it doesn’t solve the problem of not knowing the material and it won’t help on the next test --- unless the person cheats again.
Some people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them. The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade. And, if they get caught cheating, they will be in trouble at school, and maybe at home, too.
Some kids cheat because they’re busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying. Other kids might feel like they can’t pass the test without cheating. Even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating, cheating isn’t a good idea.
If you were sick or upset about something the night before and couldn’t study, it would be better to talk with the teacher about this. And if you don’t have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice, you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school.
A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions(解决办法) together. Talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating.
67．The author thinks that when kids cheat in class, _______.
A．it is unfair to other people
B．it does harm to their heath
C．teachers should punish them
D．teachers shouldn’t stop them at once
68．Some students like cheating mainly because_________.

69． The fourth paragraph mainly tells us______.
A．cheating isn’t a good idea
B．why kids cheat in the test
C．some kids can’t pass the test without cheating
D．some kids don’t spend the time studying
70．We can learn from the passage______.

B．people show no respect for those who cheat
C．parents whose kids cheat are often in trouble
D．kids cheat in the test because of swim practice

Whether you admit it or not, music improves our daily life and makes us feel easy, especially the music of Beethoven（贝多芬）, Mozart（莫扎特）. But can you believe that a school in England is using classical music to cut down on（减少） students' bad behavior?
The head teacher Brian Walker at the West Park School in Derby asks some students to stay behind after school on Fridays. He forces his students to listen to Mozart and other classical（古典的） music. He also makes them copy（抄写） his favorite poems and they have to watch educational videos.
Mr. Walker says his main aim is to stop noisy pupils causing trouble in class for students who want to study. He said the students staying behind were "not the smokers or drinkers, the truants (逃学的学生 ) or the people who are late for school... It's those who have slowed the learning and teaching in class for everyone". Mr. Walker said this was unacceptable, because it was making the rest of the students distract（转移） their attention on their study.
Mr. Walker believes what he does reminds students that education is something to value. "It helps them see they are part of something bigger that will improve their life chances," he said. The head teacher thinks students in fact learn from being kept behind after school. "Hopefully, I open their ears to an experience they don't normally have and...don't want to have again, so it's both educational and acts as a warning."
Music has had success elsewhere in reducing bad behavior. In 2004, it reduced crime（犯罪） on London's subway by 25 percent. Researchers from a Belfast university found it helped stop elephants' bad behavior.
However, one West Park student called Kieran said, "An hour of Mr. Walker's music is a real killer."
71. Mr. Walker asks his students to listen to music to _______________.
A. make them rest after a day's study
B. punish them for their bad behavior
C. get them to love arts gradually
D. reduce their bad behavior
72. A student who _____may be left behind to listen to Mozart after class.
A. plays truant
B. smokes in class
C. bothers（打扰）others in class
D. comes late for class
73. Why does Mr. Walker say some students' bad behavior is unacceptable?
A. Because the rest of the students hate them.
B. Because they are wasting their life.
C. Because they are disturbing teachers.
D. Because they have a bad influence on the other students.
74. In the eyes of Mr. Walker,_____.
A. some students don't realize education is valuable
B. all students can learn from music
C. music must be taught after class
D. students ought to love music
75. It can be inferred from the last two paragraphs that_____.
