Goals can help you do, be and experience everything you want in life．Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen．
Successful and happy people have an idea of how their life should be and they set lots of goals to help them succeed．By setting goals you are taking control of your life．It’s like having a map to show you where you want to go．Think of it this way．There are two drivers．One has a destination in mind which is laid out for her on a map．She can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turns．The other driver has no goal or destination or map．She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver, but she drives without an aim around, never getting anywhere, just using up gas and oil．Which driver do you want to be?
Winners in life set goals and follow through on them．Winners decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals．Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident．Goals aren’t difficult to set---and they aren’t difficult to reach．It’s up to you to find out what your goals and ideals（理想） really are．
Research tells us that when we write a goal down, we are more likely to achieve．Written goals can be reviewed regularly, and have more power．Like a contract（合同） with yourself, they are harder to neglect（忽視） or forget．Also when you write your goals in a particular way, you are able to make yourself be continuously alert（警覺） to situations that will further your goals．
60．The writer gave the example of two drivers to show_______________．
A．how stupid the first driver was              B．the importance of having a map
C．how stupid the second driver was            D．the importance of setting a goal
61．According to the passage, successful people are different from unsuccessful ones in that ______．
A．the successful people set goals for everything and can get help from others
B．the unsuccessful people’s goals are often too big for them to realize
C．the successful people set goals in their lives and make plans to carry them out
D．the unsuccessful people make plans for everything but can not work hard
62．According to the passage, the most important thing in realizing one’s ideal is to_______．
A．try to be realistic about one’s ability
B．let others help him or her to make his or her dream come true
C．let others understand him or her first, then work together with them
D．have a clear mind of what he or she wants in life
63．Which is the best title for the passage?
A．Goals help you succeed．               B． How to succeed．
C．Why we always failed．                 D． A research on setting goals．

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. Herpin remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days before he was born. But that was all. Was this the real reason? No one could be sure.

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), 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))

When you enter a supermarket, you see shelves full of food. You walk between the shelves. You carry a shopping basket with your food in it.
You probably hear soft, slow music as you walk between the shelves. If you hear fast music, you walk quickly. The supermarket plays slow music. You walk slowly and have more time to buy things.

Many people say that the United States is a paradise for the children, a struggling field for the youth and a tomb for the aged. However, the situation is quite different in Australia. Different people have their own ways for enjoyment and their own worlds of pastime.
Most children often work hard in school since they have to face various exams. After school they do not want to confine themselves to books any more. Instead, they put aside their schoolbags at home and sneak quickly to some quiet street comers for their games. Bigger children like to shoulder their large kites to some steep cliffs, and jump to fly in the sky with their kites.
Some old people often get up early in the morning and go to parks to do newspaper reading. After breakfast, they come to horse races, dog races and sometimes car races for betting. If he wins, he will feed himself a good dinner. In the evening, they stay at home, watching TV sometimes with grandchildren. Some of the aged also enjoy fishing and gardening.
Young people prefer to go outing for holidays. At the weekends, they go to the seashore for swimming or to the forest for hunting and camping, or mountainous areas for picnicking. Then in the evenings on Sundays, they start their long bumper-to-bumper drive back on the highways. Nobody seems in a hurry.
The Australian government also encourages its people to have more relaxation after work. Sometimes, certain kind of financial help is distributed to people going on holidays and public holidays are purposely set on Monday or Friday so that Australians may have a longer weekend for enjoyment. They think people can word better only after they get a full relaxation. And it grows out of this idea that relaxation comes the top priority(優(yōu)先權(quán))for enjoyment in Australia.
60．According to many people’s opinion, which of the following is NOT true?
A．All people in the US live a desirable life.
B．The competition among American young people is fierce.
C．The life of the American old people is very terrible.

61．Australia is different from America because Australia_______.
A．is not a paradise for children
B．is not a struggling field for the youth

A．enjoyment is more important than other aspects of life
B．a(chǎn) full relaxation will make people work better
C．enjoyment can make people happy
D．Australian people are lazy

We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. but most mistakes are about people. "Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?" "When I got that great job, did Jim, as a friend, really feel good about it? Or did he envy my luck?" "And was Paul friendly just because I had a car? " When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad.
But when we look back, it is too late.
Why do we go wrong about our friends, or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meanings. And if we do not really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, "You're a lucky dog!"(你真幸運!) Is he really on your side? If he says, "You're a lucky guy!", that is being friendly. But "a lucky dog?" There is a bit of envy in those words. What he may be saying is that he does not think you deserve your luck.
"Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for" is another phrase that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem. But this phrase contains the thought that your problem is not at all important.
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone's words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Is what he says shown by the tone of voice? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save your another mistake.
57.When the writer recalls(回想) some of the things that happened between him and his friends, he _______.
A. feels happy, thinking how nice his friends were to him
B. feels he might not have understood his friends' true feelings
C. think it a mistake to have broken up with his girl friend
D. is sorry that his friends let him down
58.When the writer talks about someone saying, "You're a lucky dog!", he is saying that
_____.    
A. the speaker is just friendly
B. this sentence suggests the same as "You're a lucky guy!"
C. the word "dog" should not be used to apply to people
D. sometimes the words show that the speaker is a bit envious
59.This passage tries to tell you how to ______.
A. avoid mistakes about money and friends
B. get an idea of friendly people
C. avoid mistakes in understanding what people tell you
D. keep people friendly without trusting them
60.The writer suggests that ______ be trusted.
A. everybody   B. nobody    C. all the people  D. all the people not
