We lived on a farmstead, in the winter especially, we wear quite out off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that city life has its problems too.One big disadvantage is money. It costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma（哮喘）, and at times the air is so dirty that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous.Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever your tastes in culture or entertainment. Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising - and, what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is, when you are in your teens or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.56. What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child? A. Staying on the farm. B. Moving to the countryside. C. Leaving home for the city. D. Running away from the school.57. Which of the following is true about the writer? A. He is very old now. B. He is in good health. C. He prefers driving a car. D. He lives in the city now.58. In the passage, the writer tries to _. A. express his opinions about way of life B. describe his life in the countryside C. show an interest in the outside world D. persuade the reader to live in the city59. How is the passage mainly developed? A. By inferring. B. By comparing. C. By listing examples. D. By giving explanations.BWhere we live, on the eastern shore of Maryland, the gentle waters run in and out like fingers slimming at the tips.The Canada geese know this place, as do the white swans and ducks. In the autumn, they come home for the winter. Once or twice each year, snow and frozen rain move into the area. When this happens, if the river is at its narrowest, there is a freeze which hardens the water to the ice.One morning, a friend of mine set the breakfast table beside the huge window, which overlooked the Tred Avon River. Suddenly she leaned forward and cried out, “There is a goose outthere.”We saw the figure of a large Canada goose, very iii, its wings folded tight to its sides, its feet frozen to the ice.Then from the dark sky, she saw a line of swans. They floated from the top of the sky downward and at last landed on the ice. My friend was on her feet now, with one unbelieving hand against her mouth. As the swans surrounded the frozen goose, she feared what life it still had might be pecked（啄）out by those great swan beaks.Instead, those beaks began to work on the ice. The long necks were lifted and curved down, again and again. It went on for a long time. At last, the gooses head lifted. Its body pulled. Then the goose was free and standing on the ice. And the swans stood in the air watching. Then, as if it had cried, “I cannot fly,” four of the swans came down around it. Their powerful beaks chipped off the ice and held in the feathers. Slowly, the goose spread its wings as far as they could go, and moved slowly into the sky.This is a true story. I just think of it in the bad moments, and from it comes only one hopeful question:“ If so for birds, why not for man?”60. What happened to the Canada goose?A. It was deserted by other geese. B. It was stuck in the ice. C. It was wounded and couldnt fly. D. It was lost in the water.61. At first the authors friend was worried that _. A. the swans would not help the Canada goose B. the swans would have the same fate with the Canada goose C. the Canada goose wouldnt identify with the swans D. the swans would peck the Canada goose to death62. What did the swans do when they saw the Canada goose couldnt fly? A. They chipped off the ice held in its feathers. B. They waited patiently for the ice held in its feathers to melt. C. They came down and lifted it up to the sky together. D. They stayed with it and protected it.63. What would probably happen to the authors friend in the end? A. She stood there, watching attentively, still feeling a bit worried. B. She was on her feet, laughing at the swans and the Canada goose. C. She was embarrassed and went on with her breakfast silently. D. She stood there quietly, not realizing tears had come down her cheeks.CMoney and Happiness A Guide to Living a Good Life Author: Laura Rowley Publisher: Wiley （March 1, 2007）Laura Rowley makes us all understand the connection between money and happiness in our own lives so that we can spend our time and efforts wisely.

ALaura Rowleys BMJRyans CDaniel Nettles DSteven FHotzesDBritish society is considered to be divided into three main groups of classesthe upper class，the middle classand the lower or working classThis is known as the class system and it is important to know something about it if you mean to understand British people and societyMost British people grow up with a deep knowledge and understanding of the class system even if they are not very conscious（意识到的）of itAs a result，more people know which class they belong to and are able to tell which class other people come from by the way they speak，the kind of clothes they wear，their interests and hobbies or even the type of food they eat Social class is not only about behavior and attitudesFor example，although many upper class people are rich and may own a lot of land，having a lot of money does not necessarily make a person one member of the upper classIt is also important to come from a particular kind of family，have friends who are considered suitable，have been to a certain type of private school and speak with the right kind of accentThere are people who are poor but who do not think of themselves as working class because their family background，education，political opinions，etcare basically different from those of most workingclass peopleMany people do not like the class system but it is impossible to pretend that these differences do not exist or that British people do n
