Find Which Direction Is South  

Do you have a good sense of direction? If not, please take with you a compass. But if you forget to take a compass, you can still find your way.   

It’s never a good idea to imagine that the family member who was entrusted（委托）with the job of map-reading actually knows where the family is. You can tell by the slightly confused load on their faces that nothing on the ground seems to match the map. Never mind. The shu is shining and it’s still morning. If you don’t know the exact time, you can still find out where south is, but you’ll need to be patient.   

①Find a straight sick and put it in the ground in a place where you can mark its shadow.  

②Try to position the stick as vertically（垂直）as you can. You can check this by making a simple plumb line （鉛錘線）with a piece of string and weight. You haven’t got any string? OK, use a thread from your clothes with a button tied at the end to act as a weight.   

③Mark the end of the shadow cast by the stick.   

④Wait approximately half an hour and mark the end of the shadow again.   

⑤Keep doing this until you have made several marks.   

⑥The mark nearest the stick will represent the shortest shadow, which is cast at midday, when the sun is highest in the sky and pointing to the exact south.   

⑦Pick a point in the distance along the line between the shortest shadow and the stick.   

⑧That point is south of where you are.   

⑨Now you can turn the map, like you did before, and find which way you should be travelling.  

68. To find the direction, we ought to be patient probably because  

A. it is not easy to find a proper stick      B. it is not easy to position the stick  

C. it takes hours to make the marks        D. it takes about half an hour to make the marks

69. The passage would probably be most helpful to       .   

A. those who draw maps           B. those who get lost  

C. those who make compasses       D. those who do experiments  

70. Which of the following pictures best shows the way of finding the direction of south?  

 
 

  

71. The author presents this passage by       .   

A. telling an interesting story        B. describing an activity in a lively way  

C. testing an idea by reasoning       D. introducing a practical method

Great leaders are almost always great simplifiers, who cut through argument, debate and doubt to offer a solution everybody can understand and remember．Churchill warned the British to expect “blood, toil, tears and sweat”; Roosevelt told the Americans that “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself”; Lenin promised the war-weary Russians peace, land and bread．Straightforward but effective messages．
We have an image of what a leader ought to be．We even recognize the physical signs; leaders may not necessarily be tall, but they must have bigger-than-life, commanding features －- Lyndon Baines Johnson’s nose and ear lobes, Ike’s broad grin．A trade-mark also comes in handy; Lincoln’s stovepipe hat, Kennedy’s rocking chair．We expect our leaders to stand out a little, not to be like an ordinary man．Half of President Ford’s trouble lay on the fact that, if you closed your eyes for a moment, you couldn’t remember his face, figure of clothes．A leader should have an unforgettable identity, instantly and permanently fixed in people’s minds．
It also helps for a leader to be able to do something most of us can’t: FDR overcame polio; Mao swam the Yangtze River at the age of 72. We don’t want our leaders to be "just like us." We want them to be like us but better, special more so. Yet if they are too different, we reject them.
A Chinese philosopher once remarked that a leader must have the grace of a good dancer, and there is a great deal of wisdom to this. A leader should know how to appear relaxed and confident. His walks should be firm and purposeful. He should be able, like Lincoln, Roosevelt, Truman, Lke and JFK, to give a good, hearty, belly laugh, instead of the sickly grin that passes for good humor in Nixon or Carter. Ronald Reagan’s training as an actor showed to good effect in the debate with Carter, when by his easy manner and apparent affability, he managed to convey the impression that in fact he was the president and Carter the challenger.
The every simple truth about leadership is that people can only be led where they want to go. The leader follows, though a step ahead. Americans wanted to climb out of the Depression and needed someone to tell them they could do it, and Roosevelt did. The British believed that they could still win the war after the defeats of 1940, and Churchill told them they were right.
A leader rides the waves, moves with the tides, understands the deepest yearning of his people. He cannot make a nation that wants peace at any price go to war, or stop a nation determined to fight from doing so. His purpose must match the national mood.
1．The underlined word “yearning” in the last paragraph probably means_________.
A．love  B．trouble     C．desire       D．feeling
2．From the fourth paragraph we can learn that_________.
A．leaders usually look special or different
B．leaders don’t have to be tall
C．most leaders look ordinary
D．leaders should always have trademarks
3．According to the article, a leader_________.
A．usually tries to simplify our messages
B．tell us what we want to hear
C．encourages us to think about things in a new way
D．is usually confident and handsome
4．From the passage we can infer that          .
A．it helps for a leader to be able to dance or act well
B．great leaders are usually totally different from us
C．Carter was humorous and made good speeches
D．it is the people rather than the president that makes what a nation is
5．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A．Want to be a leader?
B．What makes a leader?
C．What does a leader look like?
D．What must a leader do?

You are careful with your money: you collect all kinds of coupons; look for group-buy deals if you eat out; you don't buy clothes unless in a sale. Does all this make you a wise consumer?
Let's do the math first: you walk into a coffee shop and see two deals for a cup of coffee. The first deal offers 33 percent extra coffee. The second takes 33 percent off the  regular price. What's the better deal? Well, they are about the same, you'd think. And you'd be wrong. The deals appear to be equal, but in fact, they are different. Here's the math: Let's say the standard coffee is 10 yuan and let's divide the amount of coffee into three portions(部分). That makes about 3.3 yuan per portion, The first deal gets you 4 portions for 10 yuan (2.5 yuan per portion) and the second gets you 3 portions of coffee for 6.6 yuan (2.2 yuan per portion) and is therefore a better deal.
In a new study published by the Journal of Marketing, participants were asked the same question, and most of them chose the first deal, the Atlantic website reported. Why? Because getting something extra for free feels better than getting the same for less. The applications of this view into consumer psychology(心理) are huge. Instead of offering direct discounts, shops offer larger sizes or free samples.
According to the study, the reason why these marketing tricks work is that consumers don't really know how much anything should cost, so we rely on parts of our brains that  aren't strictly quantitative.
There are some traps we should be aware of when shopping. First of all, we are heavily influenced by the first number. Suppose you are shopping in Hong Kong. You walk into Hermes, and you see a 100,000 yuan bag. "That's crazy." You shake your head and leave. The next shop is Gucci, a handbag here costs 25,000 yuan. The price is still high, but compared to the 100,000 yuan price tag you just committed to your memory, this is a steal. Stores often use the price difference to set consumers' expectation. zxxk
Another trap we often fall to Is that we are not really sure what things are worth. And so we use clues(暗示) to tell us what we ought to pay for them. US economist Dan Ariely has done an experiment to prove this. According to the Atlantic, Ariely pretended he was giving a lecture on poetry. He told one group of students that the tickets cost money and another group that they would be paid to attend. Then he informed both groups that thelecture was free. The first group was anxious to attend, believing they were getting something of value for free. The second group mostly declined, believing they were being forced to volunteer for the same event without reward.
What's a lecture on poetry by an economist worth? The students had no idea. That's  the point. Do we really know what a shirt is worth ? What about a cup of coffee? What's the worth of a life insurance.policy? Who knows? Most of us don't. As a result, our shopping  brain uses only what is knowable:  visual(祝覺的) clues, invited emotions, comparisons, and  a sense of bargain. We are not stupid. We are just easily influenced.
【小題1】The first paragraph of the passage is intended to      

A．a(chǎn)sk a questionB．introduce a topic
C．give some examplesD．describe a phenomenon
【小題2】The writer takes the math for example in Paragraph 2 to show      .          _.
A．consumers usually fall into marketing traps
B．consumers' expectation is difficult to predict
C．consumers' purchasing power is always changing
D．consumers rely on their own judgment when shopping
【小題3】What consumer psychology is mentioned in the passage?
A．The first number has little influence on which item should be bought.
B．Consumers never use visual clues to decide how much should be paid.
C．Getting something extra for free is better than getting the same for less.
D．Consumers never rely on parts of the brains that aren't strictly quantitative.
【小題4】According to the passage, shops use the following tricks to make more profits EXCEPT         .  
A．showing price differencesB．offering larger sizes
C．providing free samplesD．giving direct discounts
【小題5】What can we know from US economist Dan Ariely's experiment?
A．Ariely's free lecture enjoyed popularity among students.
B．The students actually didn't know what the lecture was worth.
C．The second group was willing to be volunteers without reward.
D．The first group was eager to find out the value of Ariely's lecture.

I’ve changed my mind. “ I wanted to have a telescope, but now I want my dad back.” Lucien Lawrence’s letter to father for Christmas written after his schoolteacher’s father had been knifed to death outside his school gate, must have touched everyone’s heart. Lucien went on to say that without his father he couldn’t see the stars in the sky. When those whom we love depart from us, we cannot see the stars for a while.

But Lucien, the stars are still there, and one day, when you are older and your tears have gone, you will see them again. And, in a strange way, I expect that you will find your father there too, either in your mind and heart. I find that my parents, who died years ago, still figure in many of my dreams and that I think of them perhaps more than I ever did when they were alive. I still live to please them and I’m still surprised by their reactions. I remember that when I became a professor, I was so proud, or rather so pleased with myself that I couldn’t wait to cable my parents. The reply was a long time in coming, but when it did, all my mother said was “ I hope this means that now you will have more time for the children!” I haven’t forgotten. The values of my parents still live on.

It makes me pause and think about how I will live on in the hearts and minds of my children and of those for whom I care. Would I have been as ready as Philip Lawrence have been to face the aggressors, and to lay down my life for those in my care? How many people would want me back for Christmas? It’s a serious thought, one to give me pause.

I pray silently, sometimes, in the dead of night, that ancient cry of a poet “Deliver my soul from the sword, and my darling from the power of the dog.” Yet I know the death comes to us all, and sometimes comes suddenly. We must therefore plan to live forever, but live as if we will die tomorrow. We live on, I’m sure, in the lives of those we loved, and therefore we ought to have a care for what they will remember and what they will treasure. If more parents knew this in their hearts to be true, there might be fewer knives on our streets today.

3.. What feeling did the author’s mother express in her reply?

A．to leave a precious memory to the people related

B．to have a high sense of duty to the whole society

Good afternoon, principal, teachers and all students．It is my   31      to be here to give a talk to all of you．I have studied in this school for five years．In these five years, I learned one precious thing important not only to me  32       to all of you here, and it is “reading”．I can always gain knowledge from reading．Reading doesn’t not  33       up a lot of time but I gain a lot．Now I would like to share my reading experiences with you．

I once read a book Rare Air: Michael on Michael  34       by the greatest basketball player in the history, Michael Jordan．While we envy his great achievement in the basketball and business aspects, few of us focus on his spirit of persistence．In the book, he talks about his experience of how he walks on the   35       of success．In order to join the NBA, he put in every effort to strengthen his muscle, to improve his skills  36      training hard．Because of his efforts, he successfully entered the NBA．

However, he did not stop his training．   37         , the training was even stricter,        38          prepared him to deny the statement released by the public, ‘Michael is a weak guy!’ While the criticism against him diminished（減弱；變�。�, he worked even harder to achieve his next goal — the championship of the NBA．Finally, he succeeded．

People honor Michael as ‘God of basketball’ not only for his great basketball skills, but mainly for his spirit of persistence．While we admire his spirit, we can follow his spirit as well．Michael should be our example; we ought to learn from him．As long as we work hard,    39        is impossible．Bear in mind that all of you have the same quality．Nobody is born wise．Putting in effort is the only but effective way to advancement．My fellow schoolmates, before I go, I would like to encourage all of you that we should work as hard as we  40      ．When you grow up, you may be the one who is admired by the community．My fellow schoolmates, let’s work hard together! Work for our future! Thank you．
