And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.‎ Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels (世俗标签), I can now call myself a "marathon winner".‎ 1. ‎.A month before the marathon, the author ________. A. was well trained B. felt scared C. made up his mind to run D. lost hope 2. Why did the author mention the P. E. class in his 7th year? A. To acknowledge the support of his teacher. B. To amuse the readers with a funny story. C. To show he was not talented in sports. D. To share a precious memory.‎ 3. How was the author's first marathon? A. He made it. B. He quit halfway. C. He got the first prize. D. He walked to the end.‎ 4. What does the story mainly tell us? A. A man owes his success to his family support. B. A winner is one with a great effort of will. C. Failure is the mother of success. D. One is never too old to learn.‎ B When John was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him weeding the garden, carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when John reached adulthood, he was better off than his childhood playmates. He had more job ‎ satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier. Far happier.‎ These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. "Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence (能力) and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society, "said George Vaillant, the psychologist (心理学家) who made the discovery. "And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them."‎ Vaillant's study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31and 47.Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the men's mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.‎ The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out. Working—at any age—is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence—the underpinnings (基础) of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn't everything. As Tolstoy once said, "One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one's work."‎ 1. What do we know about John? A. He enjoyed his career and marriage. B. He had few childhood playmates. C. He received little love from his family. D. He was envied by others in his childhood.‎ 2. Vaillant's words in Paragraph 2 serve as ________. A. a description of personal values and social values B. an analysis of how work was related to competence C. an example for parents' expectations of their children D. an explanation why some boys grew into happy men 3. Vaillant's team obtained their findings by ________. A. recording the boys' effort in school B. evaluating the men's mental health C. comparing different sets of scores D. measuring the men's problem solving ability 4. What does the underlined word "sharp" probably mean in Paragraph 4? A. Quick to react B. Having a thin edge C. Clear and definite D. Sudden and rapid 5. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Competent adults know more about love than work. B. Emotional health is essential to a wonderful adult life. C.‎ ‎ Love brings more joy to people than work does. D. Independence is the key to one's success.‎ C Revolutionary TV Ears TV Ears has helped thousands of people with various degrees of hearing loss hear the television clearly without turning up the volume(音量) and now it’s better and more affordable than ever!

According to a new survey（调查） by the National Sleep Foundation, 51% of kids aged 10 to 18 go to bed at 10 pm or later on school nights, even though they have to get up early. Last year the Foundation reported that nearly 60% of 7-to 12-year-olds said they felt tired during the day, and 15% said they had fallen asleep at school．‎ How much sleep you need depends a lot on your age. Babies need a lot of rest：most of them sleep about 18 hours a day! Adults need about eight hours. For most school-age children, ten hours is ideal（理想的）. But the new National Sleep Foundation survey found that 35% of 10-to 12-year-olds get only seven or eight hours. And guess what almost half of the surveyed kids said they do before bedtime？Watch TV.‎ ‎"More children are going to bed with TVs on, and there are more opportunities（机会） to stay awake, with more homework, the Internet and the phone，"says Dr. Mary Carskadon, a sleep researcher at Brown University Medical School. She says these activities at bedtime can get kids all excited and make it hard for them to calm down and sleep. Other experts say part of the problem is chemical. Changing levels of body chemicals called hormones not only make teenagers' bodies develop adult characteristics，but also make it hard for teenagers to fall asleep before 11 pm.‎ Because sleepiness is such a problem for teenagers, some school districts have decided to start high school classes later than they used to. Three years ago, schools in Edina, Minnesota, changed the start time from 7:25 am to 8:30 am．Students, parents and teachers are pleased with the results.‎ 1. What is the new National Sleep Foundation survey on？ ______ A. American kids' sleeping habits. B. Teenagers' sleep-related diseases. C. Activities to prevent sleeplessness. D. Learning problems and lack of sleep.‎ 2. How many hours of sleep do 11-year-olds need every day？ ______ A. 7 hours. B. 8 hours. C. 10 hours. D. 18 hours.‎ 3. Why do teenagers go to sleep late according to Carskadon？ ______ A. They are affected by certain body chemicals. B. They tend to do things that excite them. C. They follow their parents' examples. D. They don't need to go to school early.‎ 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。‎ Moving into a new home in a new neighborhood is an exciting experience.

He eventually obtained his degree in accounting at Mississippi State University in 1977. ‎ ‎(18) (19) Just four years later, he received his Doctor of Law degree.

Two years later, his well-known book “The Firm” went on to sell seven million copies and was made into a movie starring Tom Cruise. (20) By 2012, his books had sold 275 million copies worldwide and had been translated into 42 languages.‎ 听力 ‎1—5 CABCA 6—10 CBABC 11—15 ACCBB 16—20 AACBB ‎ 阅读理解 A 篇 21-24 CCAB B篇 25—29ADCCB C篇 30—32BCA D篇 ACB ‎ 七选五 36—40 GFEBC 完型答案 ‎41-45 :BDCAD46—50 :BADAC 51--55:ADBCC 56--60:ABDCB 语法填空 ‎61. unforgettable  62. But  63. won  64. of   65. The ‎ 66. their   67. reading   68. writer  69. Later  70. needs 短文改错 第一句：graduate后加from; the改为a;‎ 第二句：advising改为advised; so 改为but;‎ 第三句：said 改为saying; word 改为words;‎ 第五句：this 改为these;‎ 第七句：great 改为greatly; 去掉 what;‎ 第八句：has 改为 had 书面表达 With the development of economy, more and more greenhouse gases are given off into the air.
