I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows (誓约)mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends. And they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.So heres what I wanted to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the nest promotion, the bigger paycheck, the larger house.Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure, it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an email. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours and our minutes. It is so easy to exist instead of to live . I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.I learned to love the journey, not the destination, I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned.By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face, Learn to be happy, And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion as it ought to be lived.56The best title of this passage probably is .

Yang, a Junior 2 from Beida Resource Middle School, learned how to swim and tried making pottery for the first time.“I learned a lot, and I met many new friends of my age. Some of them I miss even today,”she said.Do you want to have a summer like Yangs! Its easy. Just go to summer camp! You can learn lots of things and have fun.Lots of kids all over the world are enjoying summer camps these days. They are especially popular in America. Each summer, more than 10 million American children go to different kinds of summer camps.Some camps help you to learn other languages in foreign countries. Teachers introduce you to a family in another country. You go and live with them for a while. Every day, you get to talk with them, eat with them and maybe even go to parties.While youre in another country, you can also film a documentary to tell your friends and family about your life there. And when you get back home, youll have lots of pen pals.If youre interested in history, you can go to an archaeology camp. There, archaeologists will teach you how to carefully dig old things out of the ground. Then, in a laboratory, youll find out how old they are.If you like outdoor sports, then go to an adventure camp! Kids do many different things at adventure camps. Canoeing is just one of them. This kind of camp is a good way to enjoy the outdoors. And doing so many things with others is a great way to make friends. If you need a rest, you can go fishing.Of course, summer camps arent all about adventure or study. At some camps, kids do community service. Campers clean up their cities or spend time with old or sick people.Summer campers get to meet people from different places and learn how to work with others. They also help kids to get stronger. So if you want to have fun this summer, why not try going to camp?( )60How many kinds of camp are introduced in the text? AThree.BFour.CFive.DSix. ( )61What may campers NOT do at the camps? ALearning to do many things with others. BEnjoying outdoor sports. CMeeting people from different places. DStudying the textbooks in the classroom. ( )62From the text we know that Yang Yingfan _. Atook part in a language camp last year Bgot on well with her new friends at the camp Cmade a lot of friends in the camp who came from Beijing Dlearned to help old or sick people at the campCThe official Olympic cheerleaders(拉拉队队长)are a lot different than what you would see on the sidelines at basketball or American-style football games. Cheerleader director Paola Bosio says about 500 girls tried out to become Olympic cheerleaders.“At the end we chose 100 girls. We have six groups, three working in ice hockey, two at speed skating and one in the mountains. So this is the first time that there is cheerleading in the Olympic Games.”Fans disagree on whether the cheerleaders are entertaining or just a kind of distraction. After all, they do not actually cheer and they do not wear skimpy uniforms. The all-girl squad（班，队）, which ranges in age from 15 to 26, is dressed in bright orange and gold uniforms that cover them almost from shoulder to toe.Besides not cheering for any particular team at an event, the focus of the routines is different. It is not the loud and spirited gymnastic performance one might see at college and high school events in the United States, but is more dance-oriented.Cheerleader Camilla of Turin is 20 years old and has studied dance since she was 10. Her background includes classical dance and ballet as well as modern dance and pop. This is her first time as a cheerleader and she says she is enjoying the new experience.Some fans expressed the opinion that the pom-pom waving and dancing was distracting because it took the focus off the athletic event they had come to see. But Kathy Moine of Los Angeles, California, had a different understanding, as well as an interesting theory about the cheerleaders costumes.“I think theyre just supposed to be neutral and theyre supposed to be the Olympic torches,”she said.“Not for any country but just supporting everybody, happy to be in the Olympics.”If by definition, cheerleaders should cheer for one side and make a lot of noise, then the Olympic squad still has a lot to learn. But if they are just here to look good and liven up the atmosphere during time-outs, many would agree they have been a complete success. ( )63Where most likely can you enjoy the performance of the cheerleaders? AIn the mountains. BDuring speed skating events. CIn a dance-oriented competition.DAt ice hockey games. ( )64We can infer from the passage that _. Awe would find no cheerleaders in former Olympic Games Bmost of the sports fans are against the cheerleaders Conly Americans enjoy the Olympic Games cheerleaders very much Dits an easy job to be a cheerleader ( )65The example of Cheerleader Camilla shows us that _. Aall the cheerleaders are young and beautiful Bthe cheerleaders should be quite good at dancing Cthe cheerleaders are dressed little Dit is difficult to be chosen as a cheerleader ( )66Whats the main purpose of the cheerleaders according to the writer? ATo support one side or team. BTo draw the audiences attention. CTo bring a warmer competing atmosphere. DTo dance classical dance. ( )67Whats the best title of the text? AHow Cheerleaders Work BThe History of Cheerleaders CCheerleaders Draw Attention at Turin Olympics DThe Influence of Cheerleaders at Turin OlympicsDComputer scientists in United States are working on a low cost computer for young people in developing countries. The dream is for every kid to own one. The project is led by Nicholas Negroponte, chief of the Media Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT) Mr.Negroponte first announced the idea of a one-hundred-dollar laptop computer in January, 2005. He just gave an early version of the computer at the World Summit on the Information Society. The three-day meeting took place in Tunisia. The United Nations organized the conference to discuss Internet growth in developing nations.To save money, the computers are expected to use the free operating system Linux instead of something like Microsoft Windows. Users without electric power will be able to turn a wind-up handle to recharge the battery. A special full-color display will have the ability to change to a black-and-white image. That way, users could see it even in bright sunlight. The computers could also be able to connect wirelessly to each other and to the Internet.The machines will not be able to hold a lot of information, but they will be made to work in rough conditions. Also, the lime-green color should make them more attractive to children-and less attractive to robbers.MIT has set up a non-profit organization called One Laptop per Child to develop the computer. Five companies, including Google and News Corporation, have each given two million dollars to help pay for the work. The plan is to sell the computers to education ministries that order at least one million of them.The laptop is still not finished, and there are other problems like how to get the Internet to poor villages, but officials say that the computers will be ready by the end of 2006 or early 2007.Countries that have expressed an interest include Brazil, China, Egypt, Nigeria, South Africa and Thailand.The computers may cost more than one hundred dollars to make in the beginning, but Nicholas Negroponte says that he wants to cut the price even more.A two-hundred-dollar version may be sold to the public.In Massachusetts, Governor Mitt Romney has proposed to buy a low cost computer for every middle and high school student in his state. ( )68It can be inferred from the passage that _. AThe new computer can only display black-and-white images. BThe new computer wont be able to hold a lot of information. CChildren in poor villages will have access to the Internet. DThe project will be carried out by the company Microsoft. ( )69Which advantage is NOT mentioned about the computers? AThey dont need electricity when used. BThey use the free operating system Linux. CThey could connect wirelessly to the Internet. DThey dont cost users too much. ( )70Which of the following statements is FALSE according to the text? AThe operating system of Microsoft is not free. BSome developing countries are interested in this kind of computers. CThe computers mentioned in the text aim at the students. DOnly MIT shows an interest in developing this kind of computers.EAs China has successfully launched its Shenzhou and Taikonauts, space exploration is a hot discussion, as this historic movement boasts（夸耀） technical, and most importantly, economic benefits.The launch and return of Shenzhou has cost China 1 billion yuan, but the turnover, according to experts, should be 5 to 6 times that figure. The development of space industrys development has historically been a strong impetus（推动、促进） for a nations growth and China is continuing this trend. Chinas space mission has boosted（提高） related industries and created domestic value of approximately 100 billion yuan.There are thousands of manufacturers getting involved in developing and producing spare parts for the craft. They are strongly urged to innovate（改进） and advance technology for both the space mission and for future civil use.After Chinas first astronaut Yang Liwei stepped
