A
Many people would love to leave their jobs behind and have a life-changing adventure overseas. They imagine lying under palm trees as the sun goes down. However, life overseas is not always easy, and many are not prepared for the shock of living in an alien culture.
The honeymoon period
At first, for those who actually decide to move abroad, life is an exciting adventure. They enjoy exploring their new surroundings, and life seems like an extended holiday. They don't mind trying the local cuisine and discovering the local culture. They can even afford to practice their foreign-language skills without fear of making mistakes.
Trouble in paradise
In many cases, when people consider moving to another country, they often fail to realize how different life will be. As time goes by, they become frustrated when language and cultural misunderstandings become a daily headache. In this stage, the visitors begin to withdraw from life in the host country and avoid spending time with local people in favor of mixing with others from their own cultural background.
The road to recovery
Gradually, most visitors realize they must accept the differences and not fight against them. This change encourages them to improve their language skills and slowly they manage to do the things they could easily do at home, such as opening a bank account. This new-found confidence enables them to see a side of life which very few tourists get to witness.
Adjusting to life abroad can often be a real problem. The secret to overcoming it is to stop trying to change your host country: you will not succeed. If not, you risk losing your dream and having to return to the old life you wanted to leave behind.
21. Why do people moving abroad feel excited at first?
A. They find foreign living much easier.
B. They love the adventure and exploration.
C. They have the necessary language skills.
D. They enjoy meeting people from different cultures.
22. According to the author, what is the main problem many people moving abroad face?
A. Culture shock. B. Homesickness.
C. Health problems. D. Lack of employment.
23. What would the author suggest people moving abroad do?
A. Go on holidays frequently. B. Learn how to open a bank account.
C. Study the local language. D. Seek out people from their home country.
B
I wrote a business plan the other day. I gave it to my husband for suggestions. After reading it, he said, "I don't think this is up to your usual standards." I said, "I need more information. What doesn't work?" He said he wasn't sure. I then took the letter and reread it. He asked, "How about if I look at it again and make notes between the space?" I agreed. A half hour later I looked at his notes and told him he didn't understand the situation and what I really wanted to express. He shrugged（耸肩）and said OK. I took the letter and went back to my computer and again revised. As I was writing, I could see my letter improving based on his suggestions. When I finished, I proudly handed the letter back to my husband. He read it for the third time and said, "It's still not right but I couldn't exactly say." I was a little annoyed and then told him I was the writer and I had seen some silly letters he sent out. But I picked up my letter and went back to the computer.
After an hour of revisions, I went back to my husband apologetically with the letter in hand. I told him I was sorry for what I'd said and asked if he would please read the letter again because I did value his contribution. Being a very patient and kind-hearted fellow, he once again read my letter and declared that it was fine.
This all leads me to the following: When you ask for advice on a project, be appreciative and grateful. Understand that the advice and suggestions you get may be negative. Understand that it may mean more work for you. And keep in mind that the final responsibility for the project is still yours. So be modest and thankful even if he or she has noted some problems.
24. Why did the author give her business plan to her husband at first?
A. To show off her excellent work.
B. To have him type it on the computer.
C. To ask him to give her some advice.
D. To ask him to make some changes from all details.
25. The author's husband shrugged after hearing her words because he___________.
A. knew there was nothing wrong in the business plan
B. believed in his judgment but couldn't find why
C. doubted about himself since he found no excuses
D. believed he himself was right and knew the roots
26. We can infer from the passage that the author's husband was___________.
A. selfish, proud and determined B. humorous, active and careful
C. good at expressing himself D. honest, kind and patient
27. The author wants to tell us that if you ask for suggestions, ___________.
A. do accept all suggestions from the givers B. do keep silent before taking action
C. don't get upset if some are negative D. do be grateful and confident
C
As you grow older, you`ll be faced with some challenging decisions—like whether to cut class or try cigarettes. Making decisions on your own is hard enough, but when other people get involved and try to pressure you one way or another, it can be even harder. People who are at your age, like your classmates, are called peers. When they try to influence how you act, to get you to do something, it's called peer pressure.
Peers can have a positive influence on each other. Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system. Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book, and now everyone's reading it. These are examples of how peers positively influence each other.
Sometimes peers influence each other in negative ways. For example, a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them; your soccer friend might try to convince you to be mean to another player and never pass him the ball.
It is tough to be the only one who says "no" to peer pressure, but you can do it. Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do.
You’ve probably had a parent or teacher advising you to "choose your friends wisely". Peer pressure is a big reason why they say this. If you choose friends who don't cut class, smoke cigarettes, or lie to their parents, then you probably won't do these things either, even if other kids do.
If you continue to face peer pressure and you’re finding it difficult to handle, talk to someone you trust. Don't feel guilty if you’ve made a mistake or two.
28. For whom is the passage most probably written?
A. Doctors. B. Parents. C. Teachers. D. Students.
29. In the last three paragraphs, the author mainly___________.
A. explains why friendship is so important B. shows how to make more good friends
C. discusses how peers influence us D. gives advice on how to deal with peer pressure
30. Which of the following may help handle peer pressure?
A. Choosing friends with no bad habits. B. Spending more time with classmates.
C. Taking up more relaxing hobbies. D. Helping others who are in trouble.
31. What is the topic of the passage?
A. Friendship. B. Self-confidence. C. Peer pressure. D. Making decisions.
D
When it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness, who possess wings of their own and who will fly with me. I seek friends whose qualities illuminate（照亮）me and train me up for love. It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours.
When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and “too serious" about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say, "Let's start with a train whistle today." We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too, were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped.
When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend. He was in despair and I was in despair. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at that time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other.
For almost four years I have had a remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other's dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my most interesting moments, I often think, "Yes, I must tell…", though we have never met.
It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kindness is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist, who will only fill up the healing silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.
32. In the eighth grade, what the author did before developing proper social behavior was to___________.
A. become serious about her study B. go to her friend's house regularly
C. learn from her classmates at school D. share poems and stories with her friend
33. In Paragraph 3, "We gave London to each other" probably means___________.
A. our exploration of London was a memorable gift to both of us
B. we were unwilling to tear ourselves away from London
C. our unpleasant feeling about London disappeared
D. we parted with each other in London
34. In the darkest moments, the author would prefer to___________.
A. seek professional help B. be left alone
C. stay with her best friend D. break the silence
35. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Unforgettable Experiences B. Noble Companions
C. Remarkable Imagination D. Lifelong Friendship

Get a Thorough Understanding of Oneself
In all one's life time, it is oneself that one spends the most time being with or dealing with. 36
When you are going upwards in life you tend to overestimate yourself. It seems that everything you seek for is within your reach. 37 It's likely that you think it wise for yourself to stay away from the outer world. Actually, to get a thorough understanding of oneself, you may as well keep the following tips in mind.
Gain a correct view of oneself. You may look forward hopefully to the future but be sure not to expect too much, for dreams can never be fully realized. You may be courageous to meet challenges but it should be clear to you where to direct your efforts. 38
Self-appreciate. Whether you compare yourself to a high mountain or a small stone, you represent a state of nature. 39 If you earnestly（诚挚地）admire yourself, you'll have a real sense of self-appreciation.
40 In time of anger, do yourself a favor by releasing it in a quiet place so that you won't be hurt by its flames; in time of sadness, do yourself a favor by sharing it with your friends so as to change a bad mood into a cheerful one; in time of tiredness, do yourself a favor by getting a good sleep.
Get a full control of one's life. Then one will find one's life full of color and flavor.
A. Do oneself a favor when it's needed.
B. It has its own value.
C. Do yourself a favor when you resist the attack of illness.
D. Especially if it is well within your reach, you are just too blind to see it.
E. But it is precisely oneself that one has the least understanding of.
F. When you are going downhill you tend to underestimate yourself.
G. So long as you have a perfect knowledge of yourself, there won't be difficulties you can't overcome.

All it took was three weeks and I was able to 59 effectively in complex conversations.
Now, I can read about three dozen languages and speak most of them fluently. I think I'm much richer for that-it makes me more 60 .

One possible version:
Dear Tom,
Knowing that you are curious about the Education Week just held in our school, I’d like to give you a brief description about it.
The Education Week, which was not only intended to help parents have a good knowledge of the school life of their children, but to promote the communication between parents and the school, was held from December16th to 21st. During the week, all classes were open to parents and many theme class meetings were held. Besides, some parents were invited to deliver speeches on how they brought up their children. Finally, the activity ended successfully.
From my perspective, the Education Week was a good chance for parents to understand and support the efforts made by our school, thus creating a more harmonious relationship between them. I hope you will have a better understanding of our school’s Education Week and I am looking forward to your prompt reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
