13.On October 24,1929-"Black Thursday"-a wave of panic selling of stocks swept the New York Stock Exchange.The Great Depression began.By 1932,thousands of banks and businesses had failed.Industrial production was cut in half,farm income had fallen by more than half,wages had decreased 60percent,new investment was down 90percent and one out of every four workers was unemployed.
The Republican president,Herbert Hoover was unable to take measures to deal with the economic collapse.So in the 1932election,he was defeated by Democrat Franklin D.Roosevelt,who promised"a New Deal for the American people".
Within the"Hundred Days",Roosevelt rushed through Congress a number of laws to aid the recovery of the economy.The Civilian Conservation Corps put young men to work in reforestation and flood.
The Federal Emergency Relief Administration aided state and local relief funds.The Agricultural Adjustment Administration paid farmers to reduce production,thus raising crop prices.The Tennessee Valley Authority built a network of dams in the Tennessee River area to generate electricity,control floods and manufacture fertilizer.The National Recovery Administration regulated fair competition among businesses and ensured bargaining rights and minimum wages for workers.
The Social Security Act of 1935established contributory old age and survivors'pensions,as well as a joint federal state program of unemployment insurance.
The Work Progress Administration was one of the most effective of the New Deal measures.Financed by taxes collected by the federal government,the WPA created millions of jobs by undertaking the construction of roads,bridges,airports and other public buildings.It kept workers in the job,thus preserving their skills and their self-respect.
The New Deal programs did not end the Depression.But the economy improved as a result of this program of government intervention.

1.For many parents,raising a teenager is like fighting a long war,but years go by without any clear winner.Like a border conflict between neighboring countries,the parent-teen war is about boundaries:Where is the line between what I control and what you do?
    Both sides want peace,but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict.In part,this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it.From the parents'point of view,the only cause of their fight is their adolescents'complete unreasonableness.And of course,the teens see it in exactly the same way,exceptoppositely.Both feel trapped.
    In this article,I'll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap.The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things.Examples include the color of the teen's hair,the cleanliness of the bedroom,the preferred style of clothing,the child's failure to eat a good breakfast before school,or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends.
    Second,blaming.The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong.Third,needing to be right.It doesn't matter what the topic is-politics,the laws of physics,or the proper way to break an egg-the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong,for both wish to be considered an authority-someone who actually knows something-and therefore to command respect.Unfortunately,as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other,they'll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.

55.Why does the author compare the parent-teen war to a border conflict?B
A.Both can continue for generations.
B.Both are about where to draw the line.
C.Neither has any clear winner.
D.Neither can be put to an end.
56.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2mean?A
A.The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.
B.The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict.
C.The teens accuse their parents of misleading them.
D.The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.
57.Parents and teens want to be right because they want toC
A.give orders to the other
B.know more than the other
C.gain respect from the other
D.get the other to behave properly
58.What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?C
A.Causes for the parent-teen conflicts.
B.Examples of the parent-teen war.
C.Solutions for the parent-teen problems.
D.Future of the parent-teen relationship.

8.I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves,most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of.In fact,I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives (觀點) by creating worlds we could step into,take part in and live in.
With this unshakable belief,I,at fourteen,decided to become a writer.Here too,reading became useful.Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say,but being unable to find the right ways to say it.He has to find his own voice by reading widely to discover which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with,or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his own world.He cannot write without loving to read,because only through reading other people's writing can one discover what works,what doesn't and,in the end,together with lots of practice,what voice he has.
Now I am in college,and have come to realize how important it is to read fiction.As a law student,my reading is in fact limited to subject matter-the volume (量) of what I have to read for classes every week means there is little time to read anything else.Such reading made it all the clearer to me that I live in a very small part in this great place called life.Reading fiction reminds me that there is life beyond my own.It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road,all from the comfort of my own armchair,to experience,though secondhand,exciting experiences that I wouldn't necessarily be able to have in my lifetime.

56.What did the author like most as a child?(no more than 2 words)Reading/Books/Reading books
57.What did the author want to be when he was young?(no more than 3 words)A writer
58.What can help a writer to find his own voice?(no more than 2 words)Reading widely
59.What's the author's major at college?(no more than 1 words)Law
60.How did the author manage to experience life beyond his own?(no more than 3 words)By reading fiction.

18.We often think that our affairs,great or small,must be tended continuously and in detail,or our world will fall apart,and we will lose our places in the universe.That is not true,or if it were true,our situations would be so temporary that they would have disappeared anyway.
Once a year or so I give myself a day away.On the eve of my day of absence,I inform my family and close friends that I will not be reachable for twenty-four hours; then I turn off the telephone.I turn the radio to an all-music station,preferably one which plays the comforting golden oldies.I sit for at least an hour in a very hot tub; then I lay out my clothes in preparation for my morning escape,knowing that nothing will disturb me.On the morning I wake naturally,for I will have set no clock.I dress in comfortable shoes and casual clothes and leave my house going no place.If I am living in a city,I wander streets,window-shop,or gaze at buildings.On the getaway day I do not want to know my name,where I live,or how many responsibilities rest on my shoulders.I hate meeting even the closest friend,for then I am reminded of who I am,and the circumstances of my life,which I want to forget for a while.
When I return home,I am always surprised to find some questions I sought to avoid have been answered and some problems I hoped to flee have become settled in my absence.A day away can drive away anger,transform indecision,and renew the spirit.
Every person needs to take one day away,a day in which one consciously separates the past from the future.Jobs,family,employers,and friends can exist one day without any one of us.Each person deserves a day away in which no problems are dealt with,no solutions searched for.Each of us needs to withdraw from the cares which will not withdraw from us.

68.On the getaway day,the authorB.
A.leaves home without telling anybody
B.enjoys doing anything as she likes
C.leaves her house but reaches no place
D.hates all the circumstances of her life
69.With a day away,the authorD.
A.has to work harder to make up for the lost time
B.has found solutions to those unsettled problems
C.has successfully avoided seeking questions
D.finds herself feeling relaxed and refreshed
70.What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?B
A.We need to learn to ignore others'care.
B.Worries in life won't leave us automatically.
C.If we don't care for others,nor will others care for us.
D.We need to face up to any problems arising in life.
71.What does the author mainly intend to tell us?D
A.Whatever affairs we have,we must take them seriously.
B.Whoever we are,we deserve equal rights to enjoy ourselves.
C.Wherever we go,we should remember to renew our spirits.
D.However occupied we are,we need to take some time for ourselves.

5.The benefits of keeping a journal
If you want to grow,one important thing you should do is keeping a journal.It may seem simple,but it can make a big difference in your life.I have been keeping journals for years.Writing all the lessons I learn and all the ideas I get has become a habit for me.And to be honest,I can't imagine what my life would be like without it.(36)E
◆It prevents you from losing an idea.Have you ever gotten an idea only to lose it later because you didn't write it down?(37)A But then I developed the habit of writing down every idea that came into my mind as soon as possible.If I'm away from my computer,I usually write it down on a piece of paper that I bring wherever I go.I will then transfer the idea to the journal in my computer.
◆It helps you review all the lessons you've learned.By reviewing your journal,you can quickly see the lessons you've learned and the ideas you've gotten.(38)GYou can use the ideas to propel (鞭策) yourself forward.
◆(39)C After keeping a journal for years,you can look back at it and see how far you've gone.Things that were big problems in the past might seem small today.The raw ideas you had in the past might have been realized today.
◆It helps you expand your ideas.When you try to come up with a sentence to express an idea,you are thinking actively about it.(40)FIn the end,you will expand your ideas.

A.I often experienced that myself.
B.It trains you to express your thoughts.
C.It allows you to see your progress over time.
D.Just use whatever tool you feel comfortable with.
E.Here are some benefits you will get by keeping a journal.
F.Thinking actively helps you connect your idea to another idea.
G.Then you can do whatever necessary to avoid repeating the same mistakes.

One day,he was wandering in the park.Suddenly a good smell flew over and it attracted him to come under a peach.To his joy,he saw a girl dancing pleasingly.
"You are great!You look like a dancing butterfly!"watching her for a long time,then he said.
"Thank you!"this girl looked up and said shyly.
"Are you blind?"said the boy amazedly.
The girl made no reply,but she nodded hard.
"Sorry!I didn't mean to hurt you!"said the boy in a hurry.
"Never mind!"the girl seemed to be easy.
They knew each other in this way.
From then on,they often met each other.And while the boy was singing,the girl danced for him.
Time passed quickly!Many days passed before they knew it.

"But I can't see."the girl lowered her head.
"I'm sorry!"the boy couldn't help regretting.He felt his heart bitten hard by a snake,"How foolish I am!How can I say such words before her?"His heart was soon covered by an inexplicable idea.
Several days later,the girl told the boy happily that her eyes would be cured quickly because someone was willing to contribute his cornea(角膜)to her.Hearing the girl's words,the boy also smiled happily.
That day,darkness seemed to come earlier than ever.The boy said many words to the girl:"I had never believed there was forever in the world.But I know I am mistaken!There is forever indeed-friendship.Now I have to go and I am afraid that we can't meet each other again,either.I will treasure our friendship up in my memory!"
Hearing the boy's words,the girl couldn't help crying.Then the boy sang again while the girl danced.
Later the boy went quietly,but he was regretless,because he gave the last song in his life to the girl.
Soon the girl's operation succeeded,she saw everything and knew the truth,too.To people's surprise,the peach didn't blossom that year.
