It has been shown by some researchers that our attitude is more important than our physical health in determining how long we live. There is an usual case that senior citizens with a good sense of humor and a positive attitude, but poor health, survive longer than those that are in good health but have poor attitudes.When you lose your sense of humor, you lose your base for progress. When the situation gets tough, how does one avoid slipping and falling into a state of hopelessness? There is nothing we can do better than a sense of humor. As is known to all, one of the main causes of suffering and stress is a sense of helplessness or lack of control. Fortunately a sense of humor can put one back in control. If we learn to laugh at ourselves, well always have something to laugh about. For example, the officer of the firing soldiers asked a prisoner sentenced to death, Before we shoot you, would you like a last cigarette? And the prisoner replied, No thanks, Im trying to quit smoking!” Obviously, being faced with death is a kind of desperate situation, but the prisoner is trying to use humor to pull himself back in control of the situation he will have to face.Good humor usually comes from the bottom of ones heart and its purpose is to carry on, not tear down. It helps us get over the trouble in life. Those with a good sense of humor have a good sense of life.A good sense of humor keeps us lighthearted, and hopeful. As long as we keep having our sense of humor, well never be poor. But how will you know if you have a good sense of humor? The final test of whether you own a sense of humor is your reaction when someone tells you you dont. Much research has been done on the effects of humor and laughter on our health. The benefits include reducing stress, relaxing muscles, lowering blood pressure and increasing our patience for pain.46. What makes a key effect on how long we live according to the writer?A. Physical health.B. Optimistic attitude C. Proven mindD. Senior age 47. How does a good sense of humor help people out in tough situations? A. It can put one back in hopelessness.B. It usually causes one out of control.C. It gives one hope to face the reality.D. It helps one laugh about everything.48. The example the author uses in Paragraph 3 is to show that .A. the prisoner uses humor in a good way B. the officer looks down on the prisonerC. smoking pulls people back in control D. it is a pleasure to try to quit smoking 49. A good sense of humor can help us .A. make money B. get troubleC. live cheerfully D. react quickly50. The last paragraph mainly tells us .A. what is a good sense of humorB. why much research was doneC. how our health affects humorD. how humor benefits our body B Bill Gates was born with a good family background. His great-grandfather was a mayor, his grandfather was vice president of national bank and his father was a lawyer.Bill Gates strongly believes in hard work. He believes that if you are intelligent and know how to apply your intelligence, you can achieve anything. From childhood, Bill was strong-willed, intelligent and competitive. These qualities helped him to get top position in the profession he chose. In school, he had an excellent record in mathematics and science. But still he was getting very bored in school. Bills parents came to know their sons intelligence and decided to send him into a private school, known for its academic environment. It was a very important decision in Bill Gates life where he was first introduced to a computer. Bill Gates was very much interested in computer and formed Programmers Group with his friends in late 1968. Being in this group, they found a new way to apply their computer skill. Then still in school Bill Gates and his close friend Allen started a new company of their own. They developed a small computer to measure traffic flow. From this project they earned around $20,000. In 1973, he went to Harvard University. He did well over there, but he couldnt find it interesting either. He spent many long nights in front of the schools computer and the next day he was asleep in class. Within a year, Bill Gates dropped out from Harvard and then he formed Microsoft. His dream was A computer on every desk and Microsoft software on every computer. Bill is a creative person and works very hard to achieve his dream. His belief in high intelligence and hard work has put him where he is today. Bill Gates is also a generous person. Some years back, he donated a total of $1.1 billion, a lot of computers, and provided internet connections to lots of schools. Later Bill Gates donated more than $0.3 billion for the building of a computer institute at Stanford University. Gates also gave away 95% of all his 58 billion dollars when he retired in 2008.51. Which of the following best describes Bill Gates family?A. politicalB. financial C. well-educatedD. world-famous 52. The most important factor leading Gates to final success is his_.A. strong belief and personality B. intelligence and academic levelC. excellence in math and scienceD. decision to choose the profession 53. Which of the following is TRUE about Gates first company?A. The name of the company was Programmers Group.B. They designed a computer for the traffic management.C. The company was set up by the school they attended.D. His friend came up with the idea to start the company.54. Bill Gates dropped out from Harvard because _. A. he was keen on computer games B. he couldnt catch up with othersC. he was asleep in class every day D. he was eager to realize his dream55 How much has Gates donated in all according to the passage?A. $ 55 billionB. $56.5 billionC. $59.4 billionD. $58 billionC Have you ever picked a job based on the fact you were good at it but later found it made you feel very uncomfortable over time? When you select your career, theres a whole lot more to it than assessing your skills and matching them with a particular position. If you ignore your personality, it will hurt you long-term regardless of your skills or the jobs pay. There are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good fit. Here are a few of those main areas: 1) Do you prefer working alone or with other people? There are isolating jobs that will drive an outgoing person crazy and also interactive jobs that will make a shy person uneasy. Most people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer. There are also positions that are sometimes a combination of the two, which may be best for someone in the middle who adapts easily to either situation.2) How do you handle change? Most jobs these days have some elements of change to them, but some are more than others. If you need stability in your life, you may need a job where the changes dont happen so often. Other people would be bored of the same daily routine.3) Do you enjoy working with computers? I do see this as a kind of personality characteristic. There are people who are happy to spend more than 40 hours a week on a computer, while there are others who need a lot of human interaction throughout the day. Again, these are extremes and youll likely find a lot of positions somewhere in the middle as well.4) What type of work environment do you enjoy? This can range from being in a large building with a lot of people you wont know immediately to a smaller setting where youll get to know almost all the people there fairly quickly. 5) How do you like to get paid? Some people are motivated by the pay they get, while others feel too stressed to be like that. The variety of payment designs in the sales industry is a typical example for this.Anyway, these are a great starting point for you. Ive seen it over and over again with people that they make more money over time when they do something they love. It may take you a little longer, but making a move to do what you have a passion for can change the course of your life for the better.56. This passage mainly talks about the importance of _.A. different jobsB. personalitiesC. personal skillsD. jobs pay57. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Isolating jobs usually drive people mad.B. Interactive jobs make people shy easily. C. Extreme people tend to work with others.D. Almost everyone has a tendency in jobs.58. The underlined word “stability” in Paragraph 3 is opposite to _.A. changeB. routineC. abilityD. strength59. What is the missing word about a job search in the following chart?A. designB. skillsC. motivationD. hobbiesConcentrationEnvironmentCooperation？Jobs60. What is the best title for this passage? A. Lifestyles and job pay B. Jobs and environment C. Job skills and abilities D. Personalities and jobs 第卷 非选择题考生注意事项：请用0. 5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上作答，在试题卷上答题无效。第四部分写作（共两节，满分25分）第一节 任务型读写（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。Human beautyThe describing of a person as “beautiful” is often based on some combination of inner beauty and outer beauty.
