Thank yu. It’s my great hnr t be given this award.
Yu cannt imagine that I have always been a late starter. Years ag, when I was 16, I tk an imprtant exam—GCE(General Certificate f Educatin), which turned ut t be a failure. My dad was reading my reprt card and saw that my psitin in class was 29th, but the number in class was 29. It meant that I had achieved the distinctin f being bttm f my class.
I wasn’t lazy, and I was really trying. Yu can picture hw I felt. Dad put his hand n my shulder and said, “Yu can nly d the best yu can, but whatever yu decide t d, make sure yu lve it.” He was a really sweet guy and a great man. I knew his attempt t hide his disappintment with sme f his encuraging wrds. I was depressed fr a week, but his advice was a wake-up call.
Frtunately I lve wrking with my hands, and I was gd at tw things: wdwrk and art, and I really lved t draw and paint. I was quite talented. Dad strngly encuraged me t g t art schl, which in thse days wasn’t the bvius place that a father wuld suggest.

It was a wrld apart frm my schling until then. It’s extrardinary what an enthusiastic teacher can d, drawing the student ut, lighting independence, and encuraging a design f yur wn future, rather than waiting fr smething t happen. I’m hnred t have becme ne f these passinate teachers years later.
My teachers inspired me, and thanks t my dad, here I am tnight. I think I shuld mentin all the talents I have wrked with ver time, and t my kids and my wife Giannina, thank yu.

After numerus warnings ver the years, yu thught cffee prbably had a negative effect n yur health? Perhaps the drink is nt s bad after all.
The new study, cnducted by the Natinal Cancer Institute (NCI), has been published and suggests that cffee des nt have a harmful effect n yur health. Researchers suggest, based n data examined, lder adults wh drink a lt f cffee, have a lwer risk f death when cmpared t their nn-drinking cffee peers.
The team f researchers cnducting the study analyzed data n 400,000 U.S. men and wmen, aged 50 t 71 years; the individuals had participated in the NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study. This study started in 1995﹣1996 and was tracked until the day a participant passed away, r Dec. 31, 2008.
Accrding t a press release n the reprt, researchers shared that cffee drinkers are “less likely t die frm heart disease, respiratry disease, strke, injuries and accidents, diabetes, and infectins, althugh the assciatin was nt seen fr cancer.”
Results indicated participants that drank three r mre cups f java a day reduced their risk f death by 10percent. Based n the findings that bth caffeinated and nn-caffeinated cffee fund similar results, researchers are thinking caffeine is nt the prtective ingredient(原料), althugh which ingredient in cffee might be, they are nt sure.
Researchers indicate that despite these bservatinal findings，they cautin it is nt clear whether r nt drinking cffee actually extends life expectancy.
“Cffee is ne f the mst widely cnsumed drinks in America，but the assciatin between cffee cnsumptin and risk f death has been unclear. We fund cffee cnsumptin t be assciated with lwer risk f death verall, and f death frm a number f different causes,” said Neal Freedman, Ph. D. , Divisin f Cancer Epidemilgy and Genetics, NCI.
“Althugh we cannt infer a relatinship between cffee drinking and lwer risk f death, we believe these results d prvide sme cmfrt that cffee drinking des nt adversely affect health,” Freedman said.
Dr. Cheryl Williams, a registered dietician, tld ABC News, “Overall, mre research needs t be dne t truly understand the cmpunds in cffee and their bilgical activity and effect n health,” said Williams.
37. The passage is mainly abut ______.
A. medical benefits f cffee
B. benefits f planting cffee
C. cffee’s negative effects n health
D. new study results n cffee
38. We can learn frm the passage that ______.
A. drinking cffee can help reduce the risk f death frm sme diseases
B. peple rely heavily n cffee drinking and that prves t be a prblem
C. peple wh ften drink cffee are mre likely t suffer different diseases
D. caffeine is the very ingredient which prtects peple frm develping diseases
39. The underlined wrd “java” in Paragraph 5 refers t ______.
A. caffeine B. ingredient C. cffee D. drink
40. What can we infer frm William’s wrds?
A. Peple shuld drink mre caffeinated cffee.
B. Peple shuld analyze the cause f human death.
C. Peple shuld take advantages f drinking cffee.
D. Peple shuld carry ut mre related and effective studies.

If yu analyze peple’s actins, yu will cme t the cnclusin that they all seek happiness. Every act is in fact a search fr it, even if n the surface it desn’t lk s. Happiness is always the main target.
Ging t the mvies, eating in a restaurant and ging t a party are all mtivated by the desire t be happy. Wh des nt dream f a vacatin in sme fascinating lcatins, a new car, a new huse, r the ideal match? All peple daydream, and sme even try t make their dream a reality. And why is that? In rder t be happy!
Many peple endanger themselves by climbing steep muntains, entering unexplred caves, r diving int the deep f the cean in rder t enjy the few mments f happiness. A thief may steal because he lves the thrill f danger, r because he desires t have quick mney t spend. He is actually lking fr happiness, thugh in a perverted way.
Of curse nt all actins end in happiness. The mtive is happiness, but the results d nt always bring the desire. Accrding t sme spiritual traditins, we are spiritual beings in physical bdies. The spiritual part is always happy. Rather, it is happiness itself. But the physical bdy cvers this happiness essence(本质). There is a cnstant desire t find ut this happiness. This is the reasn why happiness is cnstantly sught.
Hwever, there is n need t search fr happiness r t create it, r t have all kinds f uter experiences and actins in rder t feel it. On the cntrary, everything has t be drpped in rder t experience it. Every technique, which helps t relax the mind and calm the rush f thughts will lead t happiness.
41. Frm the first tw paragraphs, we can learn that ________.
A. happiness is a daydream
B. it is very hard t analyze peple’s actins
C. many things peple d are t attain happiness
D. ne shuld act carefully s as nt t shw his purpse

A. illegalB. unfair C. cautius D. difficult
43. Accrding t the authr, why d peple seek happiness all the time?
A. All actins dn’t result in the expected happiness.
B. There is little awareness f the nature f happiness.
C. One’s physical bdy is cntrlled by his spiritual part.
D. Peple are s greedy that it’s hard t satisfy their desires.
44. What is the authr’s attitude twards seeking happiness?

A pssible versin:
Much f the wrld has enjyed the prsperity brught by advanced science and technlgy as well as a healthy ecnmy, but the wrld is als faced with envirnmental prblems like glbal warming, pllutin, species extinctin and verppulatin.
Persnally, I think the ver- cnsumptin f plastics is the mst serius envirnmental prblem in ur life. Whether at markets r restaurants, plastic is frequently used in peple’s daily life. We take ur grceries hme frm the supermarkets in plastic bags. We put ur waste in plastic bags. We drink frm plastic cups and bttles. We use plastic t stre ur leftvers. Yet, a lt f these plastics are never recycled, which harms the envirnment. Animals and birds that swallw plastic culd die as a result, and the plastics that end up in landfills pllute the earth’s sil and water.
Facing such a situatin, I believe it’s everyne’s duty t be mre envirnmentally aware and “G Green”. As fr me, I will reduce the use f plastics in my daily life. Fr example, I wn’t use plastic straws. Als, I will ask my family and friends t use clth shpping bags in the supermarket. I believe that with everyne's individual effrt, these prblems can be slved.

W: Hell, everyne! Just t give yu an idea f the range f exhibitins we have here at the museum, I’m ging t tell yu abut the exhibitins and activities fr visitrs f different ages.
First f all, fr kids, we have a fascinating area called Shapes and Patterns, where they can play with bjects and see hw they frm different patterns. It’s really clurful and exciting. Kids lve it.
Then, we have mre cmplex exhibitins that appeal mre t ur lder visitrs. There’s ne abut hw planes develped ver the years. Older visitrs may even be able t remember sme f the earlier planes n shw. Anther exhibitin that adults might particularly enjy is the energy exhibitin. It shws the histrical develpment f different frms f energy in Britain and hw it has pwered industry ver the centuries.
And, f curse, we mustn’t frget the teenagers. There are lts f exhibitins t interest them, but my favurite is the ne where visitrs can find ut mre abut hw physics wrks. It’s a fun exhibitin with plenty f hands-n activities, which explre hw light and heat and chemicals wrk. It’s great.
