There seems never to have been a civilization without toys, but when and how they developed is unknown.They probably came about just to give children something to do.
In the ancient world, as is today, most boys played with some kinds of toys and most girls with another.In societies where social roles are rigidly determined, boys pattern their play after the activities of their fathers and girls are being prepared, even in play, to step into the roles and responsibilities of the adult world.
What is remarkable about the history of toys is not so much how they changed over the centuries but how much they have remained the same.The changes have been mostly in terms of craftsmanship, mechanics, and technology.It is the universality of toys with regard to their development in all parts of the word and their persistence to the present that is amazing.In Egypt, America, China, Japan and among the Arctic(北極的) people, generally the same kinds of toys appeared.Variations depended on local customs and way of life because toys imitate their surrounding.Nearly every civilization had dolls, little weapons, toy soldiers, tiny animals and vehicles.
Because toys can be generally regarded as a kind of art form, they have not been subject to technological leaps that characterize inventions for adult use.The progress from the wheel to the cart to the automobile is a direct line of ways up.The progress from a rattle (撥浪鼓) used by a baby in 3,000 BC to one used by an infant today, however, is not characterized by inventiveness.Each rattle is the product of the artistic tastes of the times and subject to the limitations of available materials.

A.their social roles are rigidly determined

D.the improvement of craftsmanship in making toys depends on the efforts of universities
73.Which of the following is the author's view on the historical development of toys?
A.Toys are playing an increasingly important role in shaping a child's character.
B.The toy industry has witnessed great leaps in technology in recent years.
C.The craftsmanship in toy - making has remained essentially unchanged.
D.Toys have remained basically the same all through the centuries.
74.Regarded as a kind of art form, toys _____.
A.reflect the pace of social progress
B.a(chǎn)re not characterized by technological progress
C.follow a direct line of ascent
D.a(chǎn)lso appeal greatly to adults

A.it often takes a long time to introduce new technology into toy - making
B.even the simplest toys can reflect the progress of technology
C.even a simple toy can mirror the artistic tastes of the time

For better health, many people turn to doctors or self-help books.But they don’t realize that their friends could help them fight illness and sadness, slow aging and help them live a longer life.Researchers are only now starting to pay attention to the importance of friendship in whole health.A 10-year Australian study found that old people with a large circle of friends were 22 percent less likely to die during the study than those with fewer friends.
“In general, the role of friendship in our lives isn’t well appreciated,” said Rebecca G.Adams, a professor of the University of North Carolina.“Friendship has a bigger influence on us than family relationships.” Why friendship has such a big effect isn’t clear.While friends can pick up medicine for a sick person, the advantages go well beyond physical help.
Last year, researchers studied 34 students at the University of Virginia, taking them to the foot of a steep(陡峭的)hill and fitting them with a heavy backpack.They were then asked to estimate the steepness of the hill.Some of them stood next to their friends during the research, while others were alone.The students who stood with their friends judged the hill to be lower than the hills in other students’ eyes.And the longer the friends had known each other, the less steep the hill appeared.
“People with stronger friendship feel like there is someone they can turn to,” said Karen A Roberto, director of the medical center at Virginia Tech.“Friendship is a great resource, but many people don’t realize it.The message of these studies is that friends make your life better.”
64.We can learn from Paragraph 1 that     .
A.friends could take the place of doctors and medicine
B.researchers have studied the importance of friendship for a long time
C.people with few friends usually die at a young age
D.people with many friends can live longer
65.Which of the following is RTUE of Professor Adams?
A.She thinks friends affect us more than family members.
B.She likes making friends with different people.
C.She advises people to choose a close friend.
D.She knows the role of friendship in her life.
66.The underlined word “estimate” in Paragraph 3 means “       ”.
A.judge         B.find      C.learn           D.imagine
67.What’s the best title for the passage?
A.How to keep healthy            B.How to make friends
C.The importance of friendship     D.The meaning of real friends

A couple from Miami, Bill and Simone Butler, spent sixty –six days in a life-raft (救生艇) in the seas of Central America after their boat sank.
Twenty-one days after they left Panama in their boat, Simony, they met some whales (鯨魚). “They started to hit the side of the boat,” said Bill, “and then suddenly we heard water.” Two minutes later, the boat was sinking. They jumped into the life-raft and watched the boat go under the water.
For twenty days they had tins of food, biscuits, and bottles of water. They also had a fishing-line and a machine to make salt water into drinking water— two things which saved their lives. They caught eight to ten fish a day and ate them raw (生的). Then the line broke. “So we had no more fish until something very strange happened. Some sharks (鯊魚) came to feed, and the fish under the raft were afraid and came to the surface. I caught them with my hands.”
About twenty ships passed them, but no one saw them. After fifty days at sea their life-raft was beginning to break up. Then suddenly it was all over. A fishing boat saw them and picked them up. They couldn’t stand up. So the captain carried them onto his boat and took them to Costa Rica. Their two months at sea was over.

People want to get ahead when they are working in office, but not everyone can reach the goal. Let’s read the passage and we believe you can understand something useful for your working in the office.
A is for always getting to work on time.
B is for being very busy.
C is for the conscientious (勤勤懇懇) way you do your job .
You may be all these kinds of people at the office, and even more. But when it comes to getting ahead, some experts say, the ABCs above are not enough, a P should be included, for P—politics, as in office politics.
Dale Carneigie suggested much about office politics(策略) more than 90 years ago: Hard work alone doesn’t ensure career advancement. You have to be able to sell yourself and your ideas, both publicly and behind the scenes. Yet, in spite of the obvious rewards of engaging in office politics, a better job, a raise, praise, but many people are still unable or unwilling to “play the game.”
“People think that office politics involves some manipulative (工于心計(jì)的) behavior, ” says Deborah Comer , an assistant professor of management at Hofstra University. “But politics comes from the word ‘polite’. It can also mean controlling and forming associations (交往). It can mean being kind and helpful, or even trying to please your boss, and then expecting something in return.”
In fact, today, experts explain office politics as proper behavior used to go after one’s own self-interest in the workplace. In many cases, this involves some forms of socializing within the office environment—not just in large companies, but in small workplaces as well.
“The first thing people are usually judged on is their ability to perform well on their work,” says Neil P. Lewis, a management psychologist. “But if two or three candidates (候選人) are up for a position, each of whom has reasonably similar ability, a manager is going to choose the person he or she likes best to get ahead. It’s simple human nature.
Yet, psychologists say, many employees and employers have trouble with the concept of politics in the office. Some people, they say, have an idealistic vision of work and what it takes to succeed. Still others connect office politics with flattery (奉承) , fearful that, if they speak up for themselves, they may appear to be flattering their boss for favors.
Experts suggested that office politics should be the need for some self-promotion (晉升).
72. The underlined “Office politics” in (Para 5) is used in the passage to refer to ______.
A. the habit of getting to work on time.
B. the political views and beliefs of office workers.
C. the interpersonal relationships within a company.
D. the various qualities required for a successful career.
73. Why are many people unwilling to “play the game ”(Para.6)?
A. They believe that doing so is not polite.
B. They feel that such behavior is unprincipled(不道德的.)
C. They do like the manipulating workmates.
D. They think the effort will get them nothing.
74. The author considers office politics to be _______.
unwelcome at the workplace.
bad for interpersonal relationships.
impossible to the development of company culture.
an important factor for personal advancement.
75. It is the experts’ view that _______.
A. speaking up for oneself is part of human nature.
B. office politics is necessary to self-advancement.
C. hard work is of little importance to one’s promotion.
D. all employees can recognize the need for flattery.

A
"As sure as you're alive now, Peter Rabbit, some day I will catch you," shouted Reddy Fox, as he put his black nose in the hole between the roots of the Big Hickory-tree which grows close to the Smiling Pool. "It is lucky for you that you were not one jump farther away from this hole."
Peter, safe inside that hole, didn't have a word to say, or, if he did, he didn't have breath enough to say it. It was quite true that if he had been one jump farther from that hole, Reddy Fox would have caught him. As it was, the hairs on Peter's funny white tail actually had tickled Reddy's back as Peter ran wildly through the root-bound entrance to that hole. It had been the narrowest escape Peter had had for a long, long time. You see, Reddy Fox had surprised Peter eating sweet clover (苜蓿) on the bank of the Smiling Pond, and it had been a lucky thing for Peter that that hole, dug long ago by Johnny Chuck's grandfather, had been right where it was. Also, it was a lucky thing that old Mr. Chuck had been wise enough to make the entrance between the roots of that tree in such a way that it could not be dug any larger.
Reddy Fox was too shrewd (機(jī)靈的) to waste any time trying to dig it larger. He knew there wasn't room enough for him to get between those roots. So, after trying to make Peter as uncomfortable as possible by telling him what he, Reddy, would do to him when he did catch him, Reddy walked across the Green Meadows. Peter remained where he was for a long time. When he was quite sure that it was safe to do so, he crawled out and hurried to the Old Orchard. He felt that that would be the safest place for him, because there were ever so many hiding places in the old stone wall along the edge of it.
56. Where is Peter Rabbit hiding?
A. On the bank of a pond                       B. In a hole      
C. In a tall tree                                             D. Behind a room
57. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the story?
A. Reddy Fox might find rabbit hairs on him.
B. Old Mr. Chuck took advantage of the roots to dig the hole.
C. The hole could be made larger.
D. Reddy almost caught Peter this time.
58. Why did Peter Rabbit wait so long before leaving?
A. Because Reddy was trying to get him.   
B. Because it was cold outside.
C. Because his grandfather would help him dig a large hole.
D. Because the Old Orchard was not so safe as this hole.

Babies are not just passing idle time when they stare goggle-eyed at the television—they are actually learning about the world, U.S. researchers said. Parents may want t limit what their babies see on television , based on the study, said Donna Mumme, assistant professor of psychology at Tufts University in Boston, who led the research. “Children as young as 12 months are making decisions based n the emotional(情感的)reactions of adults around them,” Mumme said in a statement. “It turns out they can also use emotional information they pick up from television. This means that adults might want to think twice before they speak in a loud and harsh voice or let a baby see television programs meant for information about the world. A mother urging her baby to eat some  “yummy” soup on a brother crying in fear when a dog approaches can influence a baby’s reaction. Mumme’s team tested babies to determine. If television has the same influence, showing actors reacting on a videotape to objects such as red spiral letter holder, a blue humpy ball, and a yellow garden hose attachment. Babies aged 10 months or 12 months were later given the same objects to play with. Ten-month-olds did not seem to e influenced by the video buy the 1-year-olds were. When the actors acted neutrally or positively to an object, the babies happily played with them. But if the actor had seemed afraid or disgusted, the babies would avoid the object.
72.Psychology is the study of             .
A.human’s society and its growth
B.human’s hopes had dreams
C.human’s mind and behaviors
D.human’s languages and cultures
73.Which of the following is Mumme’s conclusion?
A.Small babies should not be allowed to watch television programs.
B.Adults need to think twice before they act in front of small babies.
C.TV programs provide small babies with all the information they need.
D.One-year-olds can be emotionally influenced by TV programs.
74.Mumme reached his conclusion by            .
A.measuring the time babies spent in front of TV.
B.making TV programs and advertisements for kids.
C.showing actors how to react to blue bumpy balls
D.observing small babies’ reactions to TV programs
75.Which of the following may the study lead to according to the researchers?
A.Parents may want to limit what their babies see on television.
B.Actors may try to behave themselves well in front of babies.
C.Babies may be allowed to choose what they see on TV.
D.Scientists may stop ignoring babies’ emotional world.
