A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present．On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office，a street urchin(顽童) was walking around the shining car．“Is this your car，Paul？”he asked． Paul answered，“Yes，my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised．“You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn't cost you nothing？Boy，I wish…” He hesitated(犹豫)．

Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for．He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly. “I wish,” the boy went on，“that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked at the boy in surprise, then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car？” “Oh yes，I'd love that．” After a short ride，the boy turned and with his eyes shining，said，“Paul，would you mind driving in front of my house？” Paul smiled a little．He thought he knew what the boy wanted．He wanted to show his neighbours that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are？” the boy asked． He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled(残疾) brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.

“There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn't cost him a cent. And some day I'm going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I've been trying to tell you about.”

More than half of rich Americans have not shown their full wealth to their children, a new survey showed last Tuesday. The survey, published by the Bank of America, studied the rich with $ 3 million or more in assets（资产）. It found that “surprisingly few of those surveyed have well-developed plans to preserve and pass on their assets to their children”. The majority of the 457 people surveyed are self-made, first-generation rich. Fifty-two percent of parents have chosen not to tell their children just how wealthy they are, and 15 percent have given away nothing about the family wealth. One in three parents said they had never thought to do it.

They are worried that their children would become lazy, spend money freely, make bad decisions and even become a target for gold diggers. Only 34 percent strongly agreed that their children would be able to handle any inheritance(遗产) they plan to leave them.

“There is an expectation about the wealthy parents that they have a responsibility to pass down their fortune to the next generation,” said Sallie Krawcheck , president of the Bank of America Global Wealth and Investment Management. “Our research, however, uncovered changing views of what one generation owes the next.” The trend is led by the world’s richest man Bill Gates, who promised in 2008 that he would leave his $58 billion fortune to the charity started by him and his wife, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation(基金会), and not to his children. “We want to give it back to society in the way that it will have the most positive impact,” he said. Of his plans for his children, Gates said: “I will give the kids some money but not a meaningful percentage… they will need to work but they will feel reasonably taken care of.” 61．We can learn from the passage that . A．rich parents don’t equal rich kids, at least in the US B．American children don’t get to inherit their parents’ wealth

C．poor children don’t expect themselves to be as rich as their parents D. rich parents may not know how to manage their inheritance 62．According to the survey, most rich Americans . A．think they owe their children nothing B．think it best to give their money back to society

C．are confident of their children’s ability to handle wealth D．doubt their children’s ability to handle wealth 63．The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 6 refers to . A. rich parents B．Bill Gates and his wife C．first-generation rich D．responsible children

．From the last paragraph, we can see that Bill Gates wants to show . A．the trend of leaving no inheritance to children B．the importance of independence for children

C．the way of giving back to society D．the positive impact of charity on society

When Boris left school，he could not find a job．He tried hard and pestered(纠缠)his relatives，but they had problems of their own. He answered advertisements until he could not afford to buy any more stamps. Boris grew annoyed，then depressed，then a little hardened．Still he went on trying and still he failed．He began to think that he had no future at all.

“Why don’t you start your own business?” one of his uncles told him．“The world is a money-locker. You’d better find a way of opening it.”

“But what can I do?”

“Get out and have a look round,” advised his uncle in a vague sort of way．“See what people want；then give it to them，and they will pay for it.”

Boris began to cycle around the town and found a suitable piece of a waste ground in the end. Then he set up his business as a cycle repairer．He worked hard，made friends with his customers and

gradually managed to build up his goodwill and profit．A few months later, he found that he had more work than he could deal with by himself．He found a number of empty shops but they were all no good：in the wrong position，too expensive or with some other snag. But at last，he managed to find an empty shop on a new estate where there were plenty of customers but no competition.

Boris and his assistant taught themselves how to repair scooters and motor-cycles．Slowly but surely the profits increased and the business developed. At last，Boris had managed to open the money-locker and found bank notes and gold coins inside．

The time of year a baby is born can shape what profession they will embark on(从事) in later life, a new study has suggested.

Being born in a certain month appears to indicate the statistical likelihood of what job a person will end up with, the study by the Office for National Statistics found.

Researchers have uncovered that the month in which babies are born could also affect everything from intelligence to length of life.

A child born in December is more likely to become a dentist while someone whose birthday falls in January will tend to a debt collector, they found. A February birth appears to increase the chances of being an artist while March babies appear to go on to become pilots. Meanwhile, April and May are said to have a fairly even spread of professions, births in the summer months mean a much lower chance of becoming a high-earning football player, doctor or dentist.

The study was got by researchers who analyzed the birth months of people in 19 separate occupations using information from the last survey, the Daily Mail reported. Although these trends may be difficult to explain, correlations between birth months and specific health problems have a scientific basis.

Spring babies are at greater risk of illnesses including schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s disease, asthma and autism.

They may also be less clever than classmates born in other parts of the year.

72．From the passage we can know if a baby is born on February 20, it will probably become a

________.

A．footballer B．doctor C．pianist D．teacher 73．According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?

A．Researchers can explain why babies will have different careers in the future

B．Being born in different months has no influence on what a baby will do in the future

C．Being born in a certain month will certainly determine what a baby will do in the future

D．Researchers make the conclusion just by analyzing the birth of people in 19 separate

occupations

74．What does the underlined word “correlation” in Paragraph 5 mean?

A．effective solution B．great influence C．close connection D．reasonable conclusion 75．What’s the purpose of this passage?

A．To discuss a baby’s birth month B．To introduce a new discovery C．to explain babies’ some trends D．To describe different professions 第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.

76 Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger.

For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones (荷尔蒙). They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc. 77

Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.

78 They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry . If it is, they say, “ 79 Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”

Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. 80 . A．Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. B．Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. C．Expressing anger violently is more harmful than repressing it. D．Anger may cause you a cancer.

E．Do not express your anger while angry.

F．In general the person feels excited and ready to act. G．They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.
