Attitude isn’t quite everything when it comes to being successful, but attitude plays a part in every stage of your life. A poor attitude gets more people fired than any other single factor, and a good attitude gets people jobs and helps them keep those jobs more than any other factor.
Your attitude affects many people, from your family to the stranger on the street corner. Your attitude is particularly important when you face seemingly hopeless situations. Losing a job or friend because of a poor attitude is unfortunate －especially because a bad attitude can be fixed.
You can find at least two ways to look at everything. A pessimist ( 悲觀主義者) looks for difficulty in the opportunity, while an optimist looks for opportunity in difficulty . A poet of long ago put the difference between optimism and pessimism this way: Two men looked out from prison bars －one saw mud; the other saw stars.
Unfortunately, many people look only at the problem and not at the opportunity that lies within the problem. Many employees complain about the difficulty of their jobs, for example, not realizing that if the job were simple, the employer would hire someone with less ability at a lower wage. A small coin can hide even the sun if you hold the coin close enough to your eye. So when you get too close to your problems, to think objectively(客觀地 ) about them, try to keep in mind how your vision can be obstructed. Take a step back, and look at the situation from a new angle.
You can’t do anything to change the fact that a problem exists, but you can do a great deal to find the opportunity within that problem. You’re guaranteed a better tomorrow by doing your best today and developing a plan of action for the tomorrows that lie ahead. Just remember to maintain a positive mental attitude.
64. What does the author mean by saying the first sentence in Paragraph 1?
A. If you have a good attitude, you will be successful.
B. Your attitude makes a great influence on your life.
C. Your attitude has nothing to do with your success.
D. Your success is very important to your life.
65. In Paragraph 3, the author shows us_________.
A. two ways to look at everything      B. the definition of pessimist and optimist
C. the ways to look for opportunity     D. the ways to look out from prison bars
66. The author mentions the example of many employees in Paragraph 4 to tell people to_____.
A. ignore the problem               B. look for opportunity in the problem
C. wait for the problem to be solved    D. make their jobs easy to do
67. The underline word “obstructed” in Paragraph 4 probably means________.
A. blocked         B. dropped          C. improved         D. Shared

D
Life has changed in Mexico City．Streets normally filled with people are empty．One of the most popular professional soccer teams recently played a game in an empty stadium that can seat more than100,000 people．It's swine （豬）flu that has made life in Mexico City grind to a halt （慢慢停了下來(lái)）．
Seemingly out of nowhere, swine flu has caused confirmed deaths in 12 countries as of April 30．It has sent a wave of alarm around the world．Governments are trying to find ways to prevent further out-breaks．The World Health Organization has raised its swine flu global threat level to five out of six．
People may be familiar with bird flu, but they know little about swine flu．Swine flu is a contagious（傳染性） respiratory（呼吸的）disease in pigs．It is caused by a type-A influenza virus．
Humans can also catch swine flu．The virus causes regular outbreaks in pigs, but people usually do not catch it．However, there have been cases of the virus spreading to people, and then from one person to another．
The symptoms of swine flu are similar to the common flu．They include fever, lethargy （無(wú)精打采）, lack of appetite, coughing, runny nose, sore throat, nausea（惡心）, and vomiting （嘔吐）．The high proportion of young adults among the deaths is one of several mysteries about this virus．Most of the dead had lung damage．What caused it is not yet known．
The virus spreads the same way the common flu does．When an infected person coughs or sneezes around another person, the latter is put at risk．People can get the disease by touching something with the flu virus on it and then touching their mouth, nose or eyes．
There are medicines to treat swine flu．Doctors suggest using anti - viral drugs．They keep the virus from reproducing inside the body．
And there are vaccines for it now, several everyday steps can also help prevent the spread of the virus: washing hands frequently; avoiding close contact with people who are sick; and avoiding touching surfaces that might have the virus on it．
People may worry that they will get swine flu from eating or preparing pork．In fact, you cannot catch the virus from pork products if they have been properly prepared and cooked．Cooking food at temperatures of 71℃ kills the virus．
69．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．It mainly tells us how swine flu broke out in Mexico City．
B．It presents the reader with some information concerning swine flu．
C．It tells us the differences between swine flu and bird flu．
D．It mainly tells readers the dangers caused by swine flu．
70．The following tips can protect us from swine flu EXCEPT _________．
A．keeping us away from other people
B．washing hands frequently
C．a(chǎn)voiding close contact with sick people
D．a(chǎn)voiding touching surfaces that might have the virus on them
71．What's the main idea of the first paragraph?
A．Mexico City is really a place of horror now．
B．People in Mexico City like staying at home．
C．People in Mexico City don't like soccer．
D．Swine flu has seriously affected people's life in Mexico City．
72．What can we infer from the passage?
A．At present there still aren't effective vaccines for swine flu．
B．Swine flu is preventable，controllable and curable．
C．From now on, people can't eat pork if they want to be safe．
D．All of the dead killed by swine flu had lung damage．

Laughter and tears are part of living. But do you find enough time for laughter? I am not asking if you  21  lost of good times.   22  we should laugh during the happy times. But do you also laugh during the  23  times?

As a physician who travels quite a lot, I spend a lot of time on planes listening for that dreaded “Is there a doctor on board?” announcement.

The study estimated that there are a(n)  44 of 30 in-flight medical emergencies on U.S. flights every day.

Let’s face it: plane rides are   49 . For starters, cabin pressures at high altitudes are set at roughly   50 they would be if you lived at 5,000 to 8,000 feet above sea level. Most people can tolerate these pressures pretty   51 , but passengers with heart disease   52 experience chest pains as a result of the reduced amount of oxygen flowing through their blood.  53 common in-flight problem is deep venous thrombosis（血栓）-the so-called economy class syndrome（綜合癥）.  54 happens, don’t panic. Things are getting better on the in-flight emergency front. Thanks to more recent legislation（立法）, flights with at   55 one attendant are starting to install emergency medical equipments to treat heart attacks.

D
It is a hot summer day，and you feel thirsty A friend gives you a glass of cold lemonade．How do you feel when you see the glass? Will you describe your feeling as happiness or as pleasure? I believe you will say it is a feeling of pleasure．There is a connection between these two kinds of feelings，and sometimes one causes the other，but they are not the same．Pleasure is more dependent on the five senses while happiness is independent of them．
When you are happy，little unpleasant events usually do not disturb you．When you are unhappy，you feel as if everything is against you．You may compensate for it by eating chocolate and sweets because this gives you pleasure；yet you stay unhappy．A person may smoke cigarettes
because it gives him pleasure，yet，this does not make him happier，especially if he knows the fact that it is not good for his health
The physical world is always in a changing state．At each moment a new thing is being created，changed，transformed and then destroyed. This is the normal state of things and no one call change it．If we stay still in a certain state，we are sure to experience unhappiness sooner or later．On the other hand，if we adjust to the environment，nothing can influence our moods．Then outer events have nothing to do with our inner joy of mind.
The room of the mind was filled with worry or fear．If you are free of thinking about them, the room has been emptied，and then you will see what is happening and experience it When your
mind stays quiet，you will see that happiness comes from the inside．
67．What does the underlined phrase“compensate for”in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A．to make a suitable payment for       B．to let out your anger for
C．to provide with a balancing effect for    D．to solve the problems for

A．A friend gives you a glass of cold lemonade when you feel thirsty．
B．You eat chocolate and sweets when you feel as if everything is against you．
C．Smoke cigarettes even though you know the fact that it is not good for your health．
D．You are free from worry or fear when your mind stays quiet．
69．We can learn from the passage___________．
A．happiness is more dependent on the five sepses
B．pleasure sometimes arouses happiness
C．you feel happy when nothing around you changes in a certain state
D．you feel unhappy because you have to adjust to the environment
70．Which can be the best title for the passage?

We’d been flying for hours, deeper and deeper into the desert of southeastern Niger. The mission: to find what is probably the last wild population of the great Saharan antelope called the addax (旋角羚)—the most endangered animal of its size in Africa.
Pilot Peter Ragg flew our bright red helicopter low over two parallel dunes (沙丘). The pale sand below us was dotted by the black bushes, the plants that are favorite food for the addax. Then, almost as if the dune extruded (使突出) them, two perfect addaxes appeared. Their long tails swung from side to side as they ran, heads held high on thick necks, horns reaching for the sky. We made a few turns in the plane, then let them be. In just a few seconds they were swallowed again by the Sahara. Soon they could just as easily disappear from the planet.
In September 2004 the government of Niger and a small NGO called SOS Faune du Niger surveyed this last known pocket of wild addaxes. They counted 128 individuals. Since then, the number has dropped as hunters have taken more for meat. How many addaxes remain in the Sahara is anybody’s guess, but those that do survive could be considered the living dead: There may not be a viable (能生存的) population left to reproduce.
I’m now helping to make an emergency plan for the last wild addaxes. With a few hundred thousand dollars, some trucks, and a strong group with the local Toubou guides, we may just be able to save these guys from extinction.
