7．The boy's mobile phone was confiscated by the teacher because he played games in class．

6．As we all know，time is the most valuable thing that mankind has． （71）BMany people try to manage their time．They arrange information and tips in order to effectively do so．
 （72）FTime can be managed easily by finding out what is important and arranging these things in the order of importance．In this way you know your direction before making any plans and do not waste time and energy unnecessarily．
Now comes the next question． （73）D．The answer is that you need to find out what steps you need to take to do and what you want to do．Then you know how much time to spend for each thing．These steps are like goals．
（74）ENot having them is like walking blindly in a dark room，trying to find the door．
Time management also demands a set schedule that works best for you．In this way you will be able to arrange your tasks based on their importance and finish them．In this way you will not waste your time in beating around the bush．（ 做事情繞圈子）
（75）AThere are a lot of things that we need to do in a short time．Therefore，having good time management skills is at the top of the list of things we all need．

A．We all live in a fast-paced world now．
B．Using every passing second effectively can benefit us．
C．Could you divide your time equally while doing your work？
D．How do you manage time and what type of information is needed to do so？
E．Setting goals is the most important part of tome management．
F．Managing time is not that hard．
G．The aim of time management is to give us a feeling of satisfaction．

5．We get up every morning．Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it's painful？This might be called laziness，but Dr．Kleitman has a new explanation．He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle．
During the hours when you labour through your work you may say that you're"hot"．That's true．The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak．For some　people the peak comes during the forenoon．For others it comes in the afternoon or evening．No one has　discovered why this is so，but it leads to such familiar monologues（自言自語） as："Get up，John!You'll be late for work again!"The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening．Much family quarreling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean，and which cycle each member of the family has．
You can't change your energy cycle，but you can learn to make your life fit it better．Habit can help，
Dr．Kleitman believes．Maybe you're sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway．Counteract（對抗/抵消）your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to．If your energy is low in the morning　but you have an important job to do early in the day，get up before your usual hour．This won't change your cycle，but you'll get up steam and work better at your low point．
Get off to a slow start which keeps your energy．Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch．Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor．Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before．Whenever possible，do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours．

63．If you wants to work more efficiently at your low point in the morning，you shouldC．
A．change his energy cycle     
B．overcome his laziness

4．Long long ago there lived a wise man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing．He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work．
One day he was walking along the shore．As he looked down the beach，he saw a human figure moving like a dancer．He smiled to himself at the thought that someone would dance on the beach．So he began to walk faster to catch up．
As he got closer，he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn't dancing，but instead he was reaching down to the shore，picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean．
As he got closer he called out，"Good morning!What are you doing？"
The young man paused，looked up and replied，"Throwing starfish in the ocean．""I guess I should have asked，why are you throwing starfish in the ocean？""The sun is up and the tide is going out，and if I don't throw them in they'll die．"
"But，young man，don't you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it．You can't possibly make a difference!"
The young man listened politely，then he bent down，picked another starfish and threw it into the sea，past the breaking waves and said，"It made a difference for that one．"
There is something very special in each and every one of us．We have all been gifted with the ability to make a difference．And if we can know that gift，we will gain through the strength of our visions the power to shape the future．
We must each find our starfish．And if we throw our starfish wisely and well，the world will be better．

59．One day，the wise man saw the young manD．
A．dancing along the beach         
B．walking with a dancer
C．picking up starfish for sale      
 D．trying to save as many starfish as possible
60．Near the end of the passage，"something very special"refers toB．
A．the gifts from friends          
B．the ability of shaping one's own future
C．our own starfish               
D．the strength of making decision
61．From the last two paragraphs，we can learn thatA．
A．the wise man realized something new and important
B．the wise man thought it was foolish of the young man to throw starfish into the ocean
C．the young man had the ability to make a difference
D．it is necessary for us to save starfish on the beach
62．The writer told this story in order to show usB．
A．how and where we can write a good article
B．everyone can do something for the future
C．wise men are sometimes stupid
D．young people are actually wiser than old people．

3．It's good to receive gifts．It also feels better to give gifts to others．So what's the best way to budget your money，shop wisely and spend smartly this holiday season？Time for kids asked for advice from Susan Beacham of Money Savvy Generation，a company that teaches money-management skills to kids．
"My first tip is to make a list and check it twice，"says Beacham．She suggests that kids talk with their families about whom to include in their gift giving and how much to spend．Start by writing down names，Beacham says．Then put a dollar amount next to each name and add it up．Do you have enough money？If not，make changes．And don't forget----not everyone needs a store-bought gift．Beacham points out that some of the best presents are free．Add to your list the names of people you want to give gifts of time and talent．
Do the match
Take the list with you to the store and"make sure that you do the match，"says Beacham"If you've spent﹩30 on someone you were going to spent﹩25 on，you're going to have to spend﹩5 less on somebody else．"The key to budgeting is staying within the boundaries you've set for yourself．
Gifts from the heart
The best gifts don't cost a thing．Here are some of Beacham's top gifts ideas．
●For parents，make coupons（禮券） that can be trade for your services，such as doing dishes．
●For grandma，write a note telling her how special she is to you．
●For a friend，create a work of art，like a poem，a drawing or a necklace．
●For teachers，bake a delicious cake．

56．What's the most important thing in budgeting for presents according to Beacham？B
A．Spending money within the limit you have set．
B．Working out how much money to spend in total．
C．Deciding how much money to spend on each person．
D．Checking the name list of people you will give presents

B．Bringing them delicious food．
C．Offering to help them with their studies．

B．How to make plans for giving presents．
C．How to do the math while shopping．
D．How to make gifts from the heart．

1．Tips for Cycle Trips
Cycling has many advantages as a form of travel，as it is the fastest way to travel by human power，and slow enough to allow the type of local involvement that is impossible with powered travel．Cycle travel is a cheap form of transportation．
Distance
On level terrain（地形），without a headwind，a cyclist of average fitness on a touring bike can comfortably cover 60-120km a day．Distances of up to 250km a day are possible，but anything much beyond 120km will require considerable physical tension and not allow many stops to enjoy the places you visit．For many80-100km a day will be the most suitable distance to aim for，as it will give a sense of achievement and also lea ve plenty of time for meals and activities．
Geography
The gradient（坡度）of the trip will reduce your range．A basic rule is that for every 100metres of altitude you climb，you should add an extra 15 minutes to your journey time．In hilly or mountainous areas，the easiest routes for cycling are downstream along major rivers，as they will be downhill overall．However，it is worth bearing in mind that the most scenic routes often come from hilly terrain（地形）．
Eat
Food choice depends largely on where you are，so see the respective（各自的） sections for more information about foods．On long trips away from major towns，there may be little quality food available，so be prepared to live on candy bars，prepared meat products and the like （and so on） if the need arises．
Sleep
While you can take a tent with you，many hotels and especially campsites can accommodate （provide …a place to stay）cyclists．However，there are also some hotels that may be less used to accommodating cyclists．

33．Which of the following distance does the author suggest to ordinary cyclists a day？B
A.50km        
B.90km        
C.130km       
D.250km
34．From the passage，we can learn thatD．
A．high quality food is easy to get on long trips
B．hotels seldom provide accommodation for cyclists
C．it takes cyclists 15 minutes to climb 100m of altitude
D．cycling over a mountain is challenging but worthy
35．We can probably read this passage inB．
A．a(chǎn) geography book                 
B．a(chǎn) travel magazine
C．a(chǎn) science fiction                
D．a(chǎn) research report．

20．It's hard to find Alice Munro in the media．Even after she won the 2013Nobel Prize in Literature，the Canadian writer just appeared for a quick interview and then dropped out of sight．On Dec 29^th，she still didn't seek the spotlight when she was named one of the five Women of the Year by the Financial Times．
In Munro's eyes，ordinary lives always hide larger dramas．So she records what we casually think of as the everyday actions of normal people．She often focuses on life in her hometown，a small village in Ontario which she is most familiar with．She writes about the ordinary things in the village-trees in the Ontario wilderness，poor country schools and long last illnesses．Above all，she talks about girls and women who have seemingly ordinary lives but struggle against daily misfortune．
She has a special talent for uncovering the extraordinary in the ordinary．These are ordinary people，ordinary stories，but she has the magic．Her precise language，depth of detail and the logic of her storytelling have made her stories inviting．
Runaway，one of Munro's representative works，is a good example of her writing style．One of the stories centers on the life of an ordinary woman Carla，who lives in a small Canadian town with her husband Clark．The story slowly forms a picture of Carla，trapped in a bad marriage，her unhappiness building into desperation until she decides to flee．The story of Carla is a story of the power and betrayals of love．It is about lost children and lost chances that we can all find in life．There is pain beneath the surface，like a needle in the heart．
Since she published her first collection of short stories in 1968，Munro has won many awards，with the Nobel Prize being her biggest honor．On Oct 10^th，2013，the Nobel Prize committee named Munro the"master of the contemporary short story"．

A．center on the happy life of country women
B．a(chǎn)re about betrayals of love and violence

"I remember how you rang when you went to Betty's house to eat，when you were a little girl．And then when you …"Mrs Lee is a great talker"Nearly four pounds．"says David．
Linda tries to tell her mother that it is time to say goodbye．
"Yes，all right，"says Mrs Lee，"But you will write，won't you？as you did when you were at work …"
Once again，Mrs Lee talks about the pass，and there is no stopping her．"Four pounds fifty．"says David．

Dear Harry，
How are things going with you？Talking about famous libraries，I would like to introduce to you about our National Library．
