13、 saidchase has given away cash and blessings every sunday at the same corner for 24 years. several hundred people wait for him every week. he makes a point of coming on thanksgiving and christmas, too, but this is the first year he spent his birthday in the downtown neighborhood where people live ma

14、inly in shelters and on dirty sidewalks“its the place that makes me the happiesti just love it,” said chase. “i look forward to coming here.”the money comes from donations he receives from rich and famous people he met during his work as assistant to the president of loyola marymount universitythe c

18、the disabled need to be taken care ofc. chase is greatly appreciated by the needyd. even old people came to celebrate chases birthdaybparents and kids today dress alike, listen to the same music, and are friends. is this a good thing? sometimes, when mr. ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter, elizabe

19、th, listen to rock music together and talk about interests both enjoy, such as pop culture, he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager.“i would never have said to my mom, hey, the new weezer album is really great. how do you like it?” says ballmer. “there was

20、just a complete gap in taste.”music was not the only gulf. from clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations, earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits.today, the generation gap has not disappeared, but it is getting narrow in many families. conv

21、ersations on subjects such as sex and drugs would not have taken place a generation ago. now they are comfortable and common. and parentchild activities, from shopping to sports, involve a feeling of trust and friendship that can continue into adulthood.no wonder greeting cards today carry the messa

22、ge, “to my mother, my best friend.”but family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents. “theres still a lot of strictness and authority on the part of parents out there, but there is a change happening,” says kerrie, a psychology professor at lebanon valley coll

23、ege. “in the middle of that change, there is a lot of confusion among parents.” family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these evolving roles and attitudes. they see the 1960s as a turning point. great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic process that encour

24、ages everyone to have a say. “my parents were on the before side of that change, but todays parents, the 40-year-olds, were on the after side,” explains mr. ballmer. “its not something easily accomplished by parents these days, because life is more difficult to understand or deal with, but sharing i

25、nterests does make it more fun to be a parent now.”24. the underlined word gulf in para.3 most probably means _.a. interest b. taste c. difference d. separation25. the change in todays parent-child relationship is _.a. more confusion among parentsb. new equality between parents and childrenc. less r

28、onship with that in the pastcsunday is more like monday than it used to be. places of business that used to keep daytime “business hours” are now open late into the night. and on the internet, the hour of the day and the day of the week have become irrelevant. a half century ago in the united states

29、, most people experienced strong and precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work, school time and summer time. today the boundaries(界線) still exist, but they seem not clear.the law in almost all states used to require stores to close on sunday; in most, it no longer does. it used to

30、 keep the schools open in all seasons except summer. in most, it still does. and whether the work week should strengthen its legal limits, or whether it should become more “flexible”(有彈性的) is often debated. how should we, as a society, organize our time? should we go even further in relaxing the bou

31、ndaries of time until we live in a world in which every minute is much like every other? these are not easy questions even to ask. part of the difficulty is that we rarely recognize the “l(fā)aw of time” even when we meet it face to face. we know that as children we have to attend school a certain numbe

32、r of hours, a certain number of days, a certain number of years but unless we meet the truant officer (學監(jiān)) , we may well think that we should go to school due to social custom and parents demand rather than to the law. as adults we are familiar with “extra pay for overtime working.” but less familia

33、r with the fact that what makes up “overtime” is a matter of legal explanation. when we turn the clock forward to start daylight saving time, have we ever thought to ourselves: “here is the law in action”? as we shall see, there is a lot of law that has great influence on how to organize and use tim

34、e: compulsory education law, overtime law, and daylight-saving law as well as law about sunday closing, holidays, being late to work, time zones, and so on. once we begin to look for it, we will have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and assess(評估).28. by saying” sunday is more like monday

35、 than it used to be,” the writer means that _.a. work time is equal to rest timeb. many people have a day off on monday, c. it is hard for people to decide when to restd. the line between work time and rest time is unclear29. the author raises the questions in paragraph 2 to introduce the fact that

37、are of the law of timed. welcome flexible working hours31. what is the main idea of the passage?a. our life is governed by the law of timeb. how to organize time is not worth debating.c. new ways of using time change our society.d. our time schedule is decided by social customsdits good to make mist

38、akes, and here is why.first of all, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things. its always good to try new things because when you are trying new things you are growing. if you never try anything new, how can you improve? how can you expand? the simple answer is “you cant”. look around

39、 you. with very few exceptions (例外), either everything you see in your physical world or every single detail of every single thing is the result of someone trying something new.another good thing about mistakes is this: when you are making mistakes, you are learning. consider this: edison failed 10,

40、000 times before he perfected the light bulb. when asked how it felt to fail that many times, he said that he hadnt failed 10,000 times, but rather had learned 10,000 things that didnt work.finally, when you make a mistake you are much closer to success. why?because when all is said and done, you wi

41、ll have tried some number of things before you succeed. every time you make a mistake you eliminate one of those things and are one step closer.but this all doesnt mean that you should go ahead without considering the consequences(后果) of a mistake. quite the contrary, when you try something new you

42、have to be willing to set some reasonable limits so that in the event that it doesnt work out the way you want it to, you will be in a position to try again.we all have limited resources in the form of time and money so dont blow them all on one approach to a problem. realize that it probably wont b

43、e perfect the first time and allocate (分配) these resources properly so you can learn, make corrections, and try it again. only by accepting and using your mistakes in this way can you make significant advances in your business and your career.there is an old saying that goes, “if youre not making mi

44、stakes, youre not trying hard enough.”so go forth and make mistakes. and learn. and grow. and prosper(成功).32. from the second paragraph, we can conclude that _. amistakes are better than not trying bwe are afraid of trying new things cits common for people to make mistakes dmistakes are unnecessary

45、for development 33. the underlined word “eliminate” in the fifth paragraph means _.a. get rid of b. come up with c. get tired of d. give in to34. the article is mainly about _.ahow to deal with mistakes bwhat benefits mistakes bring chow to achieve success dhow to make use of your mistakes 35. what

46、would the writer probably suggest we say to ourselves when we make a mistake?anever mind, i can always try hard to get it corrected.bwhat a pity! how does it come about that i have made a mistake?cgreat! now i can learn something. di wont mind the consequences of the mistake. try again!第二節(jié)(共5小題；每小題2

48、 like a task. 36 set time. you should have some time during every day when youll read for at least 5 to 10 minutes. 37 for example, make it a habit to read during breakfast and lunch and even dinner if you eat alone. always carry a book. 38 when i leave the house, i always make sure to have my car k

49、eys and one book at hand. the book stays with me in the car, and i take it into the office and to appointments and pretty much everywhere i go. 39 find a place in your home where you can sit in a comfortable chair. dont lie down unless youre going to sleep. there should be no television or computer

50、near the chair, and no music or noisy family members / roommates. if you dont have a place like this, create one. reduce television / the internet. if you really want to read more, try cutting back on time on tv or the internet. 40 still, every minute you reduce of the internet / tv, you could use f

53、you grow up?” well, it started out being a teacher or a scientist. 41 it was an artist, a photographer. . . as i grew older, my dreams of the future 42 . when in college, i was asked, “what will you major(專業(yè)) in?” another question was 43 to find out what i would be.by then i had 44 becoming a comput

54、er programmer. so i studied and prepared for that. i was studying 45 full-time for much of my life. i am satisfied that i could 46 my dream that affords me the opportunity to have a positive 47 on someones life. yet, for many, there is a “ 48 ” which goes around stealing our dreams and 49 us of the

55、necessary mental state to achieve our goal. sometimes, the thief will come as a parent, a relative, a friend or a co-worker, 50 , the greatest thief is just ourselves. we find ourselves just about 51 the aim, and there is a “small” voice inside saying, “youll never 52 , because very few people have

56、ever done this successfully. and on and on, the “small” voice 53 some kind of failure.failure, though, is exactly how dreams are achieved. it is one of the most 54 lessons we have. when learning these well, we are ready for success. remember failure is 55 , and sometimes we even have to fail in order to succeed. so dont be afraid of 56 . there are no “overnight” successes, but with perseverance, it will come, although many difficulties may stand 57 the wa
