An elderlycarpenter who was very skillful with his hands was ready to retire.He told his employer of his plan to leave the house-buildingbusiness and live a more leisurely life with his wife. He wished to31 his life to the full before it was too late. He would32 the paycheck, but he needed to retire.
The employerwas sorry to see his 33 worker go and asked if he couldbuild just one more house as a personal 34. The carpentersaid yes, but over time it was easy to see that his 35 wasnot in his work. He resorted to（诉诸于，采取） bad and carelessworkmanship and 36 poor quality materials. There was nodoubt that it was an 37 way to end his dedicatedcareer.
When the carpenter finished his work, the employer came to38 the house, and he handed the front-door key to thecarpenter, 39 , “This is your house and this is my 40for you. ”
Hearing what the employer said, the carpenter felt not only shockedbut also 41. If he had known he was building his own house,he would have done it so 42. Now he had to live in the homehe had built.
So it iswith us. We build our lives in a distracted way, reacting ratherthan acting, willing to put up less than the best. At importantpoints we do not give the job our best 43. Then with a shockwe look at the situation we have 44 and find that we areliving in the house we have built. If we had 45 that, wewould have done it differently.
Think of yourself as the 46. Think about your house. Eachday you hammer a nail, place a board, or 47 a wall. Buildwisely! It is the only life you will ever build. Even if you livein it for only one day, that day deserves to be lived comfortablyand 48.
The plaque（匾） on the wall says，“ This is a do-it-yourself project.”Your attitude and the 49 you make today help build the houseyou will live in tomorrow. Who would say it more 50 ? Yourlife today is the result of your attitudes and choices in the past.Your life tomorrow will be the result of your attitudes and choicesyou make today.

A
It was a Sunday and the heavy storm had lasted all night. Themorning after the storm, though, was beautiful: blue skies, warmair and a calm, inviting sea touching the shore gently.
My father realized it was a good day for fishing and invited mysister and me to go with him. I was only 14 and fishing had neverbeen my thing, but I decided to go all the same. I’m so glad Idid.
On the roadto the harbour we could see the terrible destruction on the coast,but the harbour itself was in fairly good shape. After all, it wasprotected by the arms of a bay that had only one tiny channel tothe sea. As we got on board, we noticed two big hums(脊背)in thedistance.
On approaching them, we saw it was a mother whale with her baby. Wecouldn’t believe it—there aren’t any whale along the coast here.The storm must have driven them across the ocean into the bay, inwhich the still water was so badly polluted that nothing couldsurvive.
The littlebaby whale actually as big as our boat was obviously stuck andcould not move. The mother dived under the water and came upsuddenly, making big whirlpools(漩涡)and waves. “She’s trying to helpher baby, but on the wrong side,” my father said. At this point, myfather moved our boat in a semicircle to the other side and,heading the boat towards the baby whale, pushed it gently. With ourseveral gentle pushes the big hump turned over and disappearedunder water. Then it swam up right beside its mum. They struggledin their desperate attempts to escape but missed the exit andstarted heading in the wrong direction. We hurried up to the whalesand tried to lead them towards the bay channel. Slowly, they let uslead them, sometimes rising from the water right beside us tobreathe and to give us a trusting look with those huge eyes. Oncethey hit their first part of clean water flowing straight from thesea, the mum gave us a wave with her tail and off they swam intothe distance.
In the excitement it had felt like only a few minutes, but we hadbeen with those wonderful animals for almost an hour and a half.That was the simple and lasting beauty of the day. Nearly fourdecades later, I still look back fondly to that golden day atsea.

For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war,but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflictbetween neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is aboutboundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what youdo?
Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stopthe conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admitany responsibility for starting it. From the parents’ point ofview, the only course of their fight is their adolescents’ completeunreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly thesame way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped.
In this article, I’ll describe three no-win situations thatcommonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some waysout of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrels overunimportant things. Examples include the color of the teen’s hair,the cleanness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, thechild’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or histendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. Thegoal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his badattitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing tobe right. It doesn’t matter what the topic is——politics, the lawsof physics, or the proper way to break an egg——the point of thesearguments is to prove that you are right and the other person iswrong, for both wish to be considered an authority ——someone whoactually knows something ——and therefore to command respect.Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume thatthey know more than the other, they’ll continue to fight thesebattles forever and never make any real progress.
55.Why does the author compare the parent-teen war to a borderconflict?
A. Both can continue forgenerations.
B. Both are about where to draw the line.
C. Neither has any clearwinner.
D. Neither can be put to an end.
56.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. The teens blame their parents for startingthe conflict.
B. The teens agree with their parents on thecause of the conflict.
C. The teens accuse their parents of misleadingthem.
D. The teens tend to have a full understandingof their parents.
57. Parents and teens want to be right because they want to______.
A. give orders to theother
B. know more than the other
C. gain respect from theother
D. get the other to behave properly
58.What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph thatfollows?
A. Causes for the parent-teenconflicts
B. Examples of the parent-teen war
C. Solutions for the parent-teenproblems
D. Future of the parent-teen relationship
C
Electric cars are dirty．In fact, not only are they dirty, theymight even be more dirty than their gasoline-powered cousins．
People in California love to talk about "zero-emissions（排放）vehicles", but people in California seem to be clueless about whereelectricity comes from．Power plants most all use fire to makeit．Apart from the few people who have their roofs covered withsolar cells, we get our electricity from generators（发电机）．Generatorsare fueled by something--usually coal, oil, but also by heatgenerated in nuclear power plants．There are a few wind farms andgeothermal（地热） plants as well, but by far we get electricity mainlyby burning something．
In other words, those "zero-emissions" cars are likelycoal-burning cars．Because the coal is burned somewhere else , itlooks clean．It is not true．It's as if the California Greens arecovering their eyes--"If I can't see it, it's not happening．”Gasoline is an incredibly efficient way to power a vehicle; agallon of gas has a lot of energy in it．But when you take thatgas（or another fuel）and first use it to make electricity, you wastea nice part of that energy, mostly in the form of wasted heat--atthe generator, through the transmission lines, etc．
A gallon of gas may drive your car 25 miles．But the electricityyou get from that gallon of gas won't get you nearly as far -- soelectric cars burn more fuel than gasoline-powered ones．If ourelectricity came mostly from wind or geothermal, or solar, then anelectric car truly would be clean．But for political, technical, andeconomic reasons, we don't use much of those energy sources．
In addition, electric cars' batteries which are poisonous for along time will eventually end up in a landfill．And finally, whencars are the polluters, the pollution is spread across all theroads．When it's a power plant, though，all the junk is in oneplace．Nature is very good at cleaning up when things are not tooconcentrated，but it takes a lot longer when all the garbage is inone spot．
59．What’s the main idea of the passages?
A．Electric cars aren’t actuallyclean．
B．Electric cars are zero-emissionsvehicles．
C. Zero-emissions vehicles arepopular．
D．Gasoline-powered cars are more efficient．
60．Which of the following words can replace “be clueless about” inParagraph 2?
A．Be familiarwith．B．Be curious about．
C．Fail tounderstand．D．Show their interest in．
61．In the author’s opinion, compared with cars using gas, electriccars are more __________．
A．environmentally-friendlyB．expensive
C．efficientD．harmful
62．It can be inferred from the passage that __________．
A．electric cars' batteries are poisonous for along time
B．now electric cars are used more than theirgasoline-powered cousins
C．zero-emissions vehicles should be chosen toprotect our environment
D．electric cars are not clean in that we getelectricity mainly by burning something

Elephants scored a big win in 2010. Representatives from 175countries at the United Nations’ Convention on the InternationalTrade in Endangered Species (CITES) in Doha, Qatar, rejected a bidto allow the sale of ivory. Two African nations, Tanzania andZambia, had asked to open the ivory trade.
Conservationists feared that weakening a 21-year-old ban on thesale of ivory would have encouraged illegal hunting and hurtelephant populations. African elephants once numbered in themillions. Today, there are fewer than 500,000.
“People born in 100 years should be able to see an elephant, ” saidNoah Wekesa, Kenya’s minister of forestry and wildlife. His countryvoted to keep the ban.
In the 1980s, as many as one million elephants were killedthroughout Africa. Hunters killed the animals for their ivorytusks, which were used to make jewelry and other items. “ Theslaughter(残杀) of elephants in Africa was just terrible, ” says PaulTodd of the International Fund for Animl Welfare ( IFAW ). Thegroup works to protect animals.
The ivory wars continued until 1989, when CITES voted to ban alltrade in ivory. With trade controlled, demand for ivory fell.Elephant populations began to increase slowly.
Tanzania and Zambia asked CITES to allow ivory sales fromgovernment stockpiles (库存). Ivory is so expensive that it’s knownas “white gold”. Tanzania holds almost 200,000 pounds of ivory,which is worth as much as $20 million. Zambia has 48,000 pounds ofthe “white gold”. The two countries argued that their ivory hadbeen taken from hunters or had come from animals that diednaturally. They said this income from the sale of ivory would helpthe countries.
Wildlife experts, who believe that the ivory trade encouragesillegal hunting, cheered the CITES decision. “It’s a rare victoryfor elephants,” said Jason Bell-Leask, the IFAW’s director forsouthern Africa.
63. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To show us the ivory tradein Tanzania and Zambia.
B. To introduce the crisisthat elephants face in Africa.
C. To call on people aroundthe world to protect elephants.
D. To report the news of thebanning of ivory trade.
64. The sale of ivory wasn’t banned until __________.
A.2010B.2005C.1989D. 1980
65. What do we know from Noah Wekesa’s words in Paragraph 3 ?
A. He is worried about thefuture of elephants.
B. He thinks that elephantsshould be protected for a century.
C. He believes it has beenlate to issue the ban on the sale of ivory.
D. He is sure that the ban onthe sale of ivory will be effective.
66. What can we infer from the passage?
A. The income of Tanzania ismostly from the hunting of elephants.
B. The elephant population mayincrease if the ban on the sale of ivory is maintained.
C. Most Africanrepresentatives disagreed with the ban on the sale of ivory.
D. About one million elephantshave been killed throughout Africa since 1980.

“Fathers should be neither seen nor heard,” wrote Oscar Wilde．“thisis the only proper basis for family life．” it’s hard to say whatWilde would have thought of this week’s cover photo or the picturesinside of dads and their children．Several clearly oppose theoutdated idea of fathers as detached（使分开, 使分离） from the parentingprocess and that’s just what the photographers intended．
Gregory Heisler, who did the cover photograph, says he wanted theimage to show genuine affections．So, rather than use professionalmodels, he went out and found some “real dads and their real kids．”Adds Heisler: “Instead of doing some skilful, over-producedphotographs, I wanted something more authentic to the experience ofbeing a father．” This isn’t the first time that Heisler, 39, hasconveyed complex ideas for the cover of TIME．His photographs havedecorated the front of the magazine some 20 times, ranging fromOlympic athlete Jackie Joyner-Kersee and director Davis Lynch toformer President George Bush and Ted Turner for the Man of the Yearissues in 1991 and 1992, respectively．But this week’s TIME coverhas special meaning, he says, because he and his wife had theirfirst child, Lucy, 16 months ago．
The pictures appearing inside were all done by photographer JeffreyLowe．Although Lowe has not experienced fatherhood yet, he observedmany warm moments of parenting by spending a lot of private timewith each dad and child．Of all the pictures．Lowe was most deeplytouched by the father-to-be embracing his pregnant wife．
While most of the credit for the pictures rightly goes to thosebehind the camera, cover coordinator （协调者） Linda Freeman andassistant picture editor Mary Worrell Bousquette, who work behindthe scenes, also deserve praises．Freeman, for instance, had thechallenging task of making arrangements for the group portrait ofchild movie stars that appears on page 62．Says she: “My greatestreward is working with these talented artists．” Bousquette editedthe pictures that appear inside．“I wanted our story to show themany faces of fatherhood,” she says．At least in this issue, thosefathers are seen as well as heard．Sorry, Oscar．
67．In this week’s TIME the photographers wanted _______．
A．to show Oscar Wilde’s view had gone out ofdate
B．to show honor to the famous playwright OscarWilde
C．to support Oscar Wilde’sview
D．to say sorry to Oscar Wilde
68．In Oscar Wilde’s view, __________．
A．fathers should stay actively involved in theirchildren’s lives．
B．there should be distance between fathers andchildren in family life
C．what fathers enjoy most is family life
D．fathers aren’t sure about what they should doat home．
69．Jeffrey Lowe managed to show fathers’ feelings accurately in hisphotos by _______．
A．trying to experience fatherhood himself．
B．spending most of his time with his pregnantwife．
C．studying the relationship between each memberin a family．
D．mixing with many fathers and theirchildren．
70．What is the author’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A．To comment on Oscar Wilde’s view onfatherhood．
B．To make a brief introduction to the currentissue of TIME．
C．To give his own opinion on fatherhood．
D．To praise the work by the photographers and theeditors．

In the picture, we can see a bucket made of pieces of wood. Onepiece is shorter, causing the water in the bucket to flowout.
The picture conveys a message that the success of a project dependson each individual part.When each individual part is of equalstrength, it is quite likely that the whole project will be asuccess. In the same way, when one piece is broken or shorter, thebucket can not hold as much water as is expected, as is shown inthe picture. Even a weakness in one part may lead to a completefailure of the whole project, so each individual part can make adifference between success and failure.
