Hey there,

So you’re about to spend four years of your life and tens of dollars of your parents’ money.  and all you really know about college is that all of your friends are going. Do you ever stop to wonder why you’re going?

Relax. You’re making the right decision. First of all, you’ll discover what interests you by taking courses in many subjects. For example, it’s hard to decide if you want to be a painter if you’ve never painted any pictures; once you’re in a drawing-room on campus, you’ll know one way or the other. College is also a lot of fun — after you graduate, you’ll be working every weekday for 50 or so years. And remember that college graduate earn about twice the income of those who never attended college.

Finding the right college can be difficult. Fortunately, Johnson Review is here to help you every step of the way.

* Researching Schools. To us. the most important decision you’ll make is to choose the school that really fits your best — not the once that is the most competitive（有競爭力的）or has the best-equipped rooms.

* Applying to School. On JohnsonReview.com.  you’ll find hundreds of actual college application（申請）and links to many more.

* Raising Your Scores. American College Test is once of the most important parts of the admission（錄�。ヽourse. It’s not the most important, though and everyone needs to prepare for the best. But, if you can do better, find the right course for better scores.

*Paying for School. Most families need financial aid for the high cost of college. The problem is that financial aid seems difficult to get and many families get caught up in the price of college rather than learning the ways to get financial aid. If you really do your research, you’ll learn that you can afford to attend any college, no matter the cost.

July 21st.  2007 was a typical English summer’s day — it rained for 24 hours ! As usual, I rushed home from work at midday to check on the house. Nothing was amiss. By the time I left work at 5pm.  However, the road into our village was flooded. Our house had never been flooded but, as I opened the front door.  a wave of waters greeted me. Thank God the kids weren’t wish me, because the house was 5 feet deep in water. We lost everything downstairs. And the plaster had to be torn off the wall’s ceilings pulled down.   

At first we tried to push on through. We didn’t want to move the children out of home.  so we camped upstairs. We put a sheet of plastic across the floor to protect us from the damp. But after three months, we felt very sick, so we move to a wooden house in a park. The house was small.  but at first we were all just delighted to be in a new place. Unfortunately, things took longer than expected and we were there for 10 months. The life there was inconvenient. What surprised me most was how much I missed being part of a community（社區(qū)）. We had lived in a friendly village with good neighbors, and I’d never thought how much I，I’d miss that. 

Although our situation was very bad, it’s difficult to feel too sorry for yourself when you look at what’s happening elsewhere. I watched a news report about floods in Northern India and thought.  “We didn’t have a straw hut（茅草房）that was for Christmas. But I can’t wait — I’m going to throw a party for our friends in the village to say thanks for their support. This year, I won’t need any gifts — living away from home for months has made me realize how little we actually need or miss all our possessions. Although we are replacing things, there’s really no rush — we have our home back.  and that’s the main thing.   

45. What does the underlined word “amiss” in the first paragraph mean ？ 

A. Wrong.            B. Missing.          C. Right.             D. Found 

46. It can be inferred from the text that the author        . 

A. was sick of staying upstairs 

B. cared much about her children   

C. could not stand living in a wooden house 

D．did not deal well with her family affairs during the flood 

47. Why does the author say that they were lucky in the third paragraph ? 

A. Because her situation was not serious. 

B. Because many other paces were flooded. 

C. Because she had been to Northern India. 

D. Because some others suffered even more. 

48. What does the author mainly want to express by telling her story? 

A. She valued human feelings more than before. 

B. She realized she almost didn’t need possession. 

C. She found Christmas gifts no longer badly needed. 

D. She thought her own home was the most important.

All too often, a choice that seems sustainable(可持續(xù)的)turns out on closer examination to be problematic. Probably the best example is the rush to produce ethanol(乙醇) for fuel from corn. Corn is a renewable resource —you can harvest it and grow more, almost limitlessly. So replacing gas with corn ethanol seems like a great idea.

   One might get a bit more energy out of the ethanol than that used to make it, which could still make ethanol more sustainable than gas generally, but that’s not the end of the problem. Using corn to make ethanol means less corn is left to feed animals and people, which drives up the cost of food. That result leads to turning the fallow land –including, in some cases, rain forest in places such as Brazil—into farmland, which in turn gives off lots of carbon dioxide (CO) into the air. Finally, over many years, the energy benefit from burning ethanol would make up for the forest loss. But by then, climate change would have progressed so far that it might not help.

   You cannot really declare any practice “sustainable” until you have done a complete life-cycle analysis of its environmental(環(huán)境的) costs. Even then, technology and public keep developing, and that development can lead to unforeseen and undesired results. The admirable goal of living       sustainably requires plenty of thought on an ongoing basis.

57. What might directly cause the loss of the forest according to the text?

A. The growing demand for energy to make ethanol

B. The increasing carbon dioxide in the air

C. The greater need for farmland

D. The big change in weather.

58. The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to “           ”

A. the energy benefit                       B. the forest loss

C. climate change                         D. burning ethanol

59. The author thinks that replacing gas with corn ethanol is           .

A. impractical         B. acceptable        C. admirable          D. useless

60. What does the author mainly discuss in the text?

A. Technology                            B. Sustainability  

C. Ethanol energy                         D. Environmental protection

Honesty comes in many forms. First there’s self-honesty. Is what people see the real article or do you appear through smoke and mirrors? I find that if I try to be something I’m not.  I feel unsure of myself and take out a part from my PBA（personal bank account）. I love how singer Judy Garland put it.  “Always be a first-class version（版本）of yourself, instead of a second-class version of somebody else. ”

Then there’s honesty in our actions. Are you honest at school, with your parents, and with your boss? If you’ve ever been dishonest, I think we all have, try being honest, and notice how whole it makes you feel. Remember, you can’t do wrong and feel right. This story by Jeff is a good example of that:

In my second year of study, there were three kids in my math class who didn’t do well. I was really good at it. I would charge them three dollars for each test that I helped them pass. I’d write on a little piece of paper all the right answers, and hand them off.

At first I felt like I was making money, kind of a nice job. I wasn’t thinking about how it could hurt all of us. After a while I realized I shouldn’t do that anymore, because I wasn’t really helping them. They weren’t learning anything, and it would only get harder down the road. Cheating certainly wasn’t helping me.

It takes courage to be honest when people all around you are getting away with cheating on tests, lying to their parents, and stealing at work. But, remember, every act of honesty is a deposit(儲蓄) into your PBA and will build strength.

49. The underlined part “appear through smoke and mirrors” in the first paragraph means “       ”     

A. to be honest

B. to be unreal

C. to become clear

D. to come from an imagined world

50. Which of the following can best explain Judy Garland’s words?

A. Be your true self rather than follow others.

B. Don’t copy others or you can’t be the first class.

C. Make efforts to be the first instead of the second.

D. Don’t learn from others unless they’re excellent.

51. What does the author expect to show by Jeff’s story?

A. Honesty the author expect to show by Jeff’s story?

B. A bad thing can be turned into a good one.

C. Helping others cheat can do good to nobody.

D. One should realize the wrong in his bad deeds.

52. In the last paragraph the author mainly wants to express          .

A. one must be brave to be honest

B. it’s difficult to be honest when others are not

C. one should be honest when making a deposit

D. honesty in one’s actions can help him in the future

Cities alarmed by deaths and injuries of pedestrians are taking efforts to make crosswalks safer for people on foot, especially seniors and children who need more time to cross streets.

  A pedestrian is killed in a traffic accident in the USA every 110 minutes; one is injured every nine minutes, according to official data. Crosswalks can be especially dangerous for the elderly. Among people 70 and older, 36% of pedestrian deaths in 2006 occurred in crosswalks, compared   with 21% of those younger than 70, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

FHWA spokesman Doug Hecox says reasons for the change include an aging population that needs more time to cross, health-conscious Americans walking more, children encouraged to walk to prevent getting overweight and high gas prices pushing people to walk instead of drive.

Pedestrian deaths went down by 12% from 5,449 in 1996 to 4,784 in 2006, Bur among those in 2006, 471 were killed in crosswalks, down slightly from 488 ten years earlier, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration(NHTSA) says.

53. Which of the following is true according to the text?

A. Among 100 pedestrian deaths there were 21 people younger than 70

C. Traffic accidents killed more old people than young people

D. About seven traffic accidents happened per hour.

54. What is FHWA’s suggestion to states?

B. Providing more crosswalks

C. Giving pedestrians more time to cross streets.

D. Drivers don’t give way

56. The report from NHTSA suggests that
