Are you still wishing your friends and partners “Happy New Year”? In the first few days of a new year, we say these three words countless times. The ___16___ is that we say them almost without thinking. The result of such a wish is that it ___17___ its meaning and power.

Last month, I ___18___ Dada J P Vaswani’s first speech after his return from the US. The ___19___ of his speech was “In 2012, all will be fine”. While sharing one of his many ___20___ ideas, he said that while “Happy New Year” is a nice greeting, there’s a more beautiful and encouraging way to ___21___ others—“Happy New You!”

Those three ___22___ words show that New Year is a time to leave behind our ___23___ and step forward. It’s the time to renew ourselves by getting rid of the negative things of the past — ___24___, pain and so on. It’s also the right time to give up thoughts of fear and failure.

For those who are ___25___ what to change, Dada has a simple suggestion: write down all the things that you don’t ___26___ about yourself… every single one. They could be small or big, easy or difficult — ___27___ write them all down. Putting them on ___28___ brings clearness of thought, which is the first step towards bringing about any change.

So this New Year, let’s wish each other “Happy New You” and then ___29___ that trend all through the year. Each time you wish others, you will be ___30___ not only them but also yourself to leave behind sadness and the past — because it’s time for being Happy and New.

National Geographic Society

17 TH and M Streets N.W., Washington D.C．20036 U.S.A.

The year is 1991．But just for a moment you will feel the centuries roll back.

Close your eyes and you can almost see Charlemagne kneeling to receive his crown as Holy Roman Emperor.

Or an ageing Michelangelo standing in the middle of rubble （碎石）, staring at the still unbuilt, sky-size dome （圓頂大廈）above.

You are in St. Peter’s Basilica, heart of one of the most attractive nations in the world …

Dear friend,

Every now and then, you visit a place that leaves a lasting impression – and memories that remain long after you’ve returned home. The Vatican is one of those unforgettable places.

As a devoted traveler, I have always believed that there is no replacement for being there. That is, before I saw National Geographic’s new volume （書卷）with my own eyes.

Inside the Vatican

In some ways it’s better than being there. Two experienced Geographic staff members – award-winning photographer James Stansfield and writer Bart Mcdowell – show you a side of the Vatican that you could never see if you were to visit as an ordinary tourist.

You’ll view sights and treasures that only a few are ever allowed to observe, and have extraordinary opportunity to be close to the Vatican’s museums and ceremonies, and to the people who live and work there.

Examine this magnificent volume – free in your home

You’re invited to reserve this attractive new volume now. Simply return the enclosed Reservation Card and your edition will be shipped for your free examination.

Send no money. I’m confident that once you see this amazing book, you won’t be able to put it down! INSIDE THE VATICAN offers you and your family many hours of delight and attraction.

With no risk, and no requirement to buy, why not take a moment now while you’re thinking of it – and mail the enclosed card?

We look forward to having you join us on this unusual journey.

Sincerely,

Michela English

P.S. Remember, too, that this beautiful volume is a perfect gift for anyone who loves travel, history, or art. But it’s available only by direct order through the society.

53．The part before the letter ________.

A．describes ancient Roman Emperor Charlemagne

B．introduces Vatican City, the independent state in Europe

C．tells about the famous Italian scientist and artist Michelangelo

D．gives an imaginary picture of the grandness of National Geographic Society

54．‘Dear Friend’ is used as a greeting because the writer ________.

A．a(chǎn)nd the reader know each other very well

B．a(chǎn)nd the reader have heard about each other

C．would like the reader to trust her

D．would like to get to know the reader

55．What the writer introduces to the reader is based on the volume’s ________.

A．quality of presentation            B．importance of sales

C．historical value                  D．value to collectors

56．The book will appeal to ________.

    A．the recipient （接受者）          B．the recipient, his wife and children

    C．a(chǎn)rt historians                    D．traveling salesmen
