Habits, whether good or bad, are gradually formed. When a person does a certain thing again, he is driven by some unseen force to do the same thing repeatedly, then a habit is formed. Once a habit is formed, it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to get rid of. It is therefore so important that we should pay great attention to the formation of habits. Children often form bad habits, some of which remain with them as long as they live. Older persons also form bad habits lasting as long as they live, and sometimes become ruined by bad habits.
There are other habits which, when formed in early life, are of great help. Many successful men say that much of their success has something to do with certain habits in early life, such as early rising, honesty and so on.
Among the habits which children should not form are laziness, lying, stealing and so on. These are all easily formed habits. Unfortunately older persons often form habits which could have been avoided.
We should keep away from all these bad habits, and try to form such habits as will be good for ourselves and others.
小題1:        are formed little by little.
A．Only good habitsB．Only bad habits
C．Both good habits and bad habits D．Either good habits or bad habits
小題2:The underlined word “them” in the first paragraph refers to         .
A．bad habitsB．good habitsC．childrenD．other persons
小題3:Why should we pay much attention to the formation of habits?
A．Because habits are of great help to every one of us.
B．Because a man can never get rid of a habit.
C．Because it’s hard and sometimes even impossible to throw away bad habits.
D．Because we are forced to do them again and again.
小題4:According to the passage, early rising          .
A．has something to do with successB．is an easily formed habit
C．is such a habit as should have been avoided D．is such a beneficial habit as will be kept

Maria is a very fast runner. She has won many races put on by the factory in Russia where she works. She was asked how she was able to stay in such good shape（體型）. This was her answer.

It doesn't matter when or how much a person sleeps, but everyone needs some rest to stay alive. That's what all doctors thought, until they heard about Al Herpin. Al Herpin, it was said, never slept. Could this be true? The doctors decided to see this strange man themselves.
Al Herpin was 90 years old when the doctors came to his home in New Jersey. They thought for sure that he got some sleep of some kind. So they stayed with him and watched every movement he made. But they were surprised. Though they watched him hour after hour and day after day, they never saw Herpin sleeping. In fact, he did not even own a bed. He never needed one.
The only rest that Herpin sometimes got was sitting in a comfortable chair and reading newspapers. The doctors were puzzled by this strange continuous sleeplessness. They asked him many questions, hoping to find an answer. They found only one answer that might explain his condition.

The first field season is now over at the hut village of the workmen who built the tombs in the Valley of the Kings．However，the archaeologists working on the excavation(挖掘)have found that they still have a great deal to do．The sun，the wind and tourists have left their mark on the village，originally discovered by Bernard Bruyhre in 1935．
“From our modern perspective，it is upsetting to see how the village was first excavated and then left to be destroyed．Passers-by have used the huts as rubbish dumps and restrooms，”says Jaana Toivari—Viitala，a teacher at the University of Helsinki．“Fortunately，while we still have some surface cleaning to do，conservation are off to a good start．’’
The hut viliage offers rare insight into everyday life in ancient Egypt．
“In the early twentieth century，archaeologists were only interested in the tombs of kings． The workmen’s huts they discovered were seen as a necessary evil in the quest for the real trea sures．’，
“Now several international research groups on different excavations are examining everyday life and work in the Valley of the Kings．This seems to be a trend in archaeology right now．”Toivari-Viitala says．
Her research group wants to find out why the hut village was built on the slope of a mountain，halfway between the construction site and Deir-el-Medina．They are also interested in how many workers lived in the village at a time，when they lived there，and what their role was in the construction work．
“Comparing the names found in the village and in Deir-el-Medina provides useful information．Judging from the construction methods，settlement in the village can be divided into two separate periods：the initial settlement and a later one．”
For the time being，much is up to guessing，but Toivari-Viitala believes that the coming four field seasons，three months each，will see results．
“The working conditions are not nearly as difficult as I thought they would be． The cool winds in the mountains nicely alleviate the heat．”
The research group working on the“Workmen’s huts in the Theban mountains”project is planning to return to the Valley of the Kings in October．
71．What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．The hut village in the Valley of the Kings．
B．The excavation of the tombs in the Valley．
C．The archaeologists working on the excavation．
D．Everyday life and work in the Valley of the Kings．
72．Which of the following is NOT true of the hut village according to the passage?
A．It has been damaged a lot．
B．It can tell us a lot about ancient Egypt．
C．It has attracted archaeologists’attention．
D．It has a lot of real treasures somewhere in it．
73．What’s the new trend in archaeology right now according to Toivari-Viitala?
A．Being interested in the tombs of kings．
B．Examining everyday life and work in the Valley of the Kings．
C．Using the huts as rubbish dumps and restrooms．
D．Guessing what the result will be beforehand．
74．From the passage we know that the author is one of   ．
A．the workmen who built the tombs in the Valley of the Kings
B．the archaeologists working on the excavation of the village
C．those in favour of Toivari-Viitala’s ideas and plans
D．the passers-by who used the huts as dumps and restrooms
75．We can infer from the passage that    
A．people know little about the hut village by now
B．the workmen’s huts were not discovered until very recently
C．the research group working on the workmen’s huts will suffer a lot
D．the hut village is much more valued by archaeologists than the tombs

Handwriting reveals a great deal about how an individual thinks, since the brain dictate (發(fā)號施令) hand movements when a person writes. People who think quickly will write quickly, while people whose thinking is slow will write in the same way. Sometimes we see very elaborate (精致的) handwriting, particularly among public figures, such as actors or politicians, who want to draw attention to themselves. For them, handwriting is like a dress that enables them to stand out from the crowd.
The handwriting of someone who is suited to a routine job will appear well organized, clear, and regular, without any special features drawing attention to it. If the job requires proven accuracy, like that of an accountant(會計(jì)), the handwriting, especially the numbers, should be precise. On the other hand, someone in sales or public relations must be self-assured, know how to make a good impression, and be able to befriend people even when meeting them for the first time. The handwriting of such individuals will appear rather large, with elaborate capitals and on oversized signature. It will be quick, fluent, and not necessarily reasonable.
Handwriting analysis can be used to find potential behavioral or personality problems. People who are impulsive, aggressive, or dishonest write differently than those who are socially well adapted. Warning signs include broken and strongly or sporadically (零散的) pressured handwriting; disorderly handwriting in which the words run over the lines on the paper, or extremely sharp handwriting. Generally, handwriting that is extreme in any aspect-too small, too weak or too pressured-is suspect.
Evidence of medical problems also shows up in a person’s handwriting. Individuals in pain often stop in the middle of writing. Pauses will be visible in the handwriting of people who experience difficulty breathing, because they stop writing to take a breath.
Handwriting expresses the mental and physical state of the individual, as well. Depressed people write slowly, with lines sloping (傾斜) down and heavy pressure exerted(施加) on the page. People who are excessively excited will write quickly, and their handwriting will be extremely disorganized and practically unreadable. People who are tired tend to write lines that descend down the page, and their handwriting will appear weak and slow. Healthy and vigorous individual will write energetically, and their handwriting will be quick, rhythmic and fluent.
71. The passage is mainly about _____________.
A. what handwriting indicates
B. handwriting and personalities
C. the relationship between handwriting and the individual
D. handwriting analysis and the problems it shows
72. Suppose you are a famous pop star, your handwriting will be in the style of being_______.
A. well-organized          B. oversized           C. elaborate          D. sharp
73. If a person writes with a rather large, elaborate capitals and an oversized signature, we can conclude that he is probably a (an) __________.
A. famous person          B. salesman           C. doctor             D. accountant
74. If you see disorderly handwriting, you will think that the person who writes it is ________.
A. depressed          B. vigorous            C. slow in thinking        D. dishonest
75. According to the passage, a person’s handwriting has something to do with(與……有關(guān)) all of the following EXCEPT his______.
A. mind                B. education          C. health               D. profession (職業(yè))

You have the ability to decide whether you are happy or not. Happiness is a choice.
You can’t depend on someone else to make you happy. That is a lesson I learned early in my marriage. I realized that I couldn’t rely on my husband as my source of happiness. I learned that my happiness depended on myself and not my husband’s actions. I learned that you have to choose to be happy.
You can choose your emotions. True happiness comes from within, and it can’t be forced by outside force. So how do you choose happiness? The same way, you choose to smile or choose to wear a certain outfit（一套衣服）. You choose it because that’s what you want to experience in you life.
You want to buy a new pair of shoes so you choose a pair that you like and feels good. You wouldn’t buy a pair of shoes that you don’t like or that doesn’t fit well, right? So why do we keep choosing emotions and feelings that don’t make us feel good?
Choosing to be happy after you realize your anger has shown up (or even choosing to be calm) can be beneficial. We choose our feelings; no one else can do that for us. If we let others get to us, influence our emotions — we are giving them power over us. When others cause us anger or pain, we are giving them our power.
We need to keep our feelings in check and not to react（反應(yīng)） automatically to what is thrown at us. We need to think our actions out instead of just reacting to what someone says or does.
Remember that we can always choose happiness. At first it will be difficult to just switch（使轉(zhuǎn)變）your thoughts and feelings from anger, self-doubt, or fear to joy and happiness. But it is only a thought away. Don’t dwell on（細(xì)想） what happens to you unnecessarily but realize what is causing you to feel that way. Realize that thoughts, feelings and emotions can change. Then move on and choose to be happy.
64. What’s the best title of this passage?
A. Pretend to Be Happy
B. Choose Your Emotions
C. Choose to Be Happy
D. Find Happiness
65. The lesson the writer learned in her marriage is          .
A. one can’t depend on someone else to make himself or herself happy
B. balancing the relationship between husband and wife is an art
C. she can depend on her husband to find happiness
D. happiness can be influenced by outside force
66. Why did the writer mention buying shoes?
A. To offer advice on how to choose comfortable shoes.
B. To use it as an example to illustrate（闡述）her point of view.
C. To compare choosing shoes and choosing an outfit.
D. To help move to the next paragraph easily.
67. The writer suggests that we should          .
A. let others control our feelings
B. respond immediately to others’ words
C. hold back our feelings properly
D. pay more attention to words than actions
