Well, maybe thats not always the _36_, but its been proven that reading does _37_ mind. Whether youre studying your history book, or just _38_ with world news, reading will expand your mind and_39_ you with the knowledge to succeed in this world. In elementary and middle school, I had my _40_ of series such as Babysitters Club and Goosebumps, all of _41_ helped develop my reading comprehension. Our school _42_students who read for fun in a program known _43_ Accelerated Readers. Programs such as these encouraged us to learn the _44_ of reading. Now that I have reached my senior year of high school, I am _45_ that so many of my teachers took the time to help me _46_ my reading skills. Every time I open up a book, newspaper or magazine, my _47_ goes to work to fill me in with useful information that helps develop my critical _48_ skills. Reading has also _49_ my vocabulary and has helped me to understand concepts _50_. I have found this to be a plus when _51_ standardized tests, such as the SAT. The analogies (类比) section seemed much _52_ because I was more familiar with word structures and definitions, and the reading comprehension section took me _53_ time to complete. My advice to all current high school students is to _54_ time for reading. Even if youre bombarded (措手不及) with tons of assignments or activities, take at least 30minutes every day to read something of _55_ to you. But just opening a book, you may find the key to all the treasures youve been waiting for!36. A. thingB. caseC. reasonD. affair37. A. stimulateB. encourageC. impressD. keep38.

I smiled apprehensively, my heart pounding. I sat in the chair opposite Steve in the studio while spectators outside pressed their noses against the windows to get a glance. Countless people told me this day wasnt possible; they said real authors arent 15-year-olds and that my story wasnt good enough. I knew that I could only rely on one person to make this happen: me. Self-publishing was a great option to make my book a reality in a world that doubted my abilities. After two months of reading, writing and revision the manuscript, it was finally ready for publication. I remember coming home from school and seeing a brown box on the kitchen table. I tore open the box to see five copies of my finished book. Thick staples had held together the stories I used to create when I was three, and that day began my official journey as an author, but I hungered for more than just a published book. I didnt have an agent. In fact, all I had was a check for $15.54. I began emailing every newspaper I could think of and soon, I was featured in many but still wanted more publicity and so began writing to radio stations. I was interviewed on two, but when I found out that I would be on WGN, I was at a loss for words. Like the homemade books created with crayons and pencils that turned into professional pieces of art, I came out of my box the same day my books did. I changed from a shy, terrified girl filled with dreams to an outgoing, confident young lady who made her dreams a reality. Are you ready to go on? Steven asked. I smiled and said, Yes, I am.56. From the first paragraph, we know Steven Cochrans words _.A. gave some encouragement to the authorB. put some pressure on the authorC. made the author feel worriedD. made some trouble for the author57. How long has the author written her book?A. For about 15 years.B. For about 12 years.C. For about 9 years.D. For about 6 years.58. The authors interview on WGN would be _.A. her first one on radio stationsB. her second one on radio stationC. her third one on radio stationD. her fourth one on radio stations59. According to the last paragraph, the author felt _.A. uncertain of her interview and futureB. herself still the same girl as beforeC. shy and dreadful for the coming interviewD. well ready for the coming interviewB Because of the stress and strains of modern life folks today would rather watch television than get together with neighbors. Their behavior doesnt mirror TV soaps like Coronation Street and East Enders. The Streets Ashley Peacock and Toyah Battersby know all their neighbors. But the Royal Mail survey shows that real-life under-35s wouldnt dream of popping next door for a chat or to borrow a cup of sugar. Three out of ten say they wouldnt know their neighbors if they saw them in the street. The same proportion would only offer to help neighbors if absolutely necessary, while 31 percent dont want to get to know them better. Twenty-six percent rarely or never speak to the person next door. Thirty-five percent only talk to neighbors occasionally, and six percent actively dislike them. The older generation are still sociable, with 70 percent of over-55s taking time to chat to people next door. The report says: “In the past, the British tradition of village green gossip between neighbors was celebrated worldwide. But theres been a clear shift away from local links by the young generation.” Londoners are least likely to be neighbors, with a third rarely or never chatting over the garden fence. People in the Midlands-where 65 percent often speak to their neighbors-are most friendly. Sociologist Jane Blakeman said: “People are working longer hours than ever before, and are traveling further to work. It leaves them far less time at home.”60. Almost a third of young people _.A. know their neighbors quite well B. have no idea who lives next door to themC. talk to their neighbors when they want to borrow somethingD. spend time chatting with neighbors like their parents61. It can be inferred that Ashley Peacock and Toyah Battersby are both _.A. important roles in a popular TV series B. famous stars in filmsC. old soap operas D. members of royal family62. Gossip among neighbors is still common among _. A. people under 35 B. people between 35 and 55C. people over 55 D. people of different ages63. There is a difference between London and the rest of Britain mainly in that non-Londoners _. A. would help their neighbors only when necessaryB. are less likely to have good relations with their neighborsC. wouldnt travel far and find more time to chat with neighborsD. are more likely to keep up the old British tradition of having a chat over garden fenceC New Purr has a special offer to keep your cat smiling: buy two cans and get one free.

Researchers said it could explain why people with a higher IQ were healthier as a vegetarian diet was linked to lower heart disease and obesity rates. The study of 8,179 people was reported in the British Medical Journal.Twenty years after the IQ tests were carried out in 1970, 366 of the participants said they were vegetarians although more than 100 reported eating either fish or chicken.Men who were vegetarians had an IQ score of 106, compared with 101 for non-vegetarians; while female vegetarians averaged 104, compared with 99 for non-vegetarians. There was no difference in the IQ scores, between strict vegetarians and those who said they were vegetarians but reported eating fish or chicken.Researchers said the findings were partly related to better education and higher class, but it remained statistically significant after adjusting for these factors.Vegetarians were more likely to be female, to be of higher social class and to have higher academic or vocational (职业的) qualifications than non-vegetarians. However, these differences were not reflected in their annual income, which was similar to that of non-vegetarians.Lead researcher Catharine Gale said, “The findings that children with greater intelligence are more likely to report being vegetarians as adults, together with the evidence on the potential benefits of a vegetarian diet on heart health, may help to explain why a higher IQ in childhood or adolescence is linked with a reduced risk of heart disease in adult life.But Dr Frankie Phillips of the British Dietetic Association said，“It is like the chicken and egg. Do people become vegetarians because they have a very high IQ or is it just that they are clever enough to be more aware of health issues?”68What s the result of the research mentioned in the text?A. Intelligent children are more likely to become vegetarians later in life.B. Children with a higher IQ are less likely to have heart disease later in life.C. Intelligent children tend to belong to higher social class later in life.D. Children with a healthier heart tend to have a higher IQ later in life.69It was found in the research that _.A. most of the participants became vegetarians 20 years after the IQ tests were carried outB. vegetarians who ate fish or chicken were of similar intelligence with strict vegetariansC. female vegetarians were more likely to have higher annual income than non-vegetariansD. vegetarians were more likely to have higher annual income than non-vegetarians70Catharine Gale talked about “being vegetarians” in a(n) _way.A. doubtful B. favorableC. negative D. objective71What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?A. Intelligence is linked to not just being a vegetarian but to many factors.B. The rate of getting heart disease is l
