30、y, “Maybe she has forgotten that were friends.” While in the exam, Mo found Terry was holding her phone on her knee under the table and reading from it. Mo couldnt believe it!

32、she thought. Just then, Mr. Reed, their teacher, walked past her table. “Mr. Reed”Terry was called to the teachers office and there waited Mr. ReedThe history test was over. Mo was walking towards the school gate, when she heard footsteps behind her. It was Terry. “Mo, please wait, I want to talk to

33、 you.” Mo could see that Terry had been crying, her face was pale and her eyes were red. Mo couldnt say a word. “Listen,” said Terry. “I'm really sorry I havent answered any of your calls, but Im having a terrible time at home. My dad had a heart attack two weeks ago and hes in hospital. He had

38、ld wines are the best.D. A life without a friend is a life without a sun. CLast week I talked with some of my students about what they wanted to do after they graduated, and what kind of job prospects they thought they had. Given that I teach students who are training to be doctors, I was surprised

39、to find that most thought that they would not be able to get the jobs they wanted without “outside help”. “What kind of help is that?” I asked, expecting them to tell me that they would need a relative or family friend to help them out. “Cosmetic surgery(整形外科手術(shù))”, one replied. I was pretty alarmed b

40、y that response. It seems that the graduates of today are increasingly willing to go under the knife to get ahead of others when it comes to getting a job. One girl told me that she was considering cosmetic surgery to increase her height. “They break your legs, put in special extending screws, and s

41、lowly expand the gap between the two ends of the bone as it re-grows, you can get at least 5 cm taller!”At that point, I was shocked. I am short, I cant deny that, but I dont think I would put myself through months of agony(痛苦) just to be a few centimeters taller. I dont even bother to wear shoes wi

42、th thick soles, as Im not trying to hide the fact that I am just not tall!It seems to me that there is a trend toward wanting “perfection”, and that is an ideal that just does not exist in reality. No one is born perfect, yet magazines, TV shows and movies present images of thin, tall, beautiful peo

43、ple as being the norm. Advertisements for slimming aids, beauty treatments and cosmetic surgery clinics fill the pages of newspapers, further creating an idea that “perfection” is a requirement, and that it must be purchased, no matter what the cost. In my opinion, skills, rather than appearance, sh

44、ould determine how successful a person is in his chosen career. 53. We can know from the passage that the author works as _. A. a doctor B. a model C. a teacher D. a reporter54.

45、thers in job-hunt D. attract more admirers55. According to the passage, the author believes that _. A. everyone should purchase perfection, whatever the costB. its right for graduates to ask for others to help them out in hunting for jobsC. it is ones appearance instead of skills that really matters

46、 in ones careerD. media are to blame for misleading young people in their seeking for surgery56. The best title for the passage should be “_”. A. Young Graduates Have Higher Expectation B. Young Graduates Look to Surgery for Better Jobs C. Young Graduates Opinion About Cosmetic Surgery D. Young Grad

47、uates Face a Different Situation in Job-huntD At school many things happen to us. We may feel excited when we have success in a school play. We may feel sorry if we lose an important game. We want to keep the memory for the rest of our lives.How to keep the memory? Our English teacher, Miss Wang, ha

48、s taught us a good way of remembering things to make our own yearbook. What is a yearbook? A yearbook is a kind of book which is used to keep the memory of exciting moments. Its usually made at the end of the year.Last December, we began to make our yearbook. First we chose the persons who had done

49、something special, then some students interviewed them, some wrote down their stories, others took photos of them. Everyone in our class had something to do. Finally our teacher helped us to put the things together. We had our first yearbook.All of us put a lot of love into making the yearbook. It is so wonderful that not only the students but also our parents and teachers will remember the special time for ever.57. Miss Wangs good way of remembering things is to _.A. buy a new book B. write down st
