Terri Bolton is a dab hand when it comes to DIY(do-it-yourself). Skilled at
putting up shelves and piecing together furniture, she never pays
someone else to do a job she can do herself.
She credits these skills to her late grandfather and builder Derek Lloyd.
From the age of six, Terri, now 26, accompanied Derek to work during her
school holidays. A day’s work was rewarded with £5 in pocket money. She
says:" I’m sure I wasn’t much of a help to start with,painting the rooms
and putting down the flooring throughout the house. It took weeks and
it was backbreaking work, but I know he was proud of my skills."
Terri, who now rents a house with friends in Wandsworth, South West
London, says DIY also saves her from losing any deposit when a
tenancy(租期) comes to an end. She adds:" I’ve moved house many times
and I always like to personalise my room and put up pictures.So, it’s been
useful to know how to cover up holes and repaint a room to avoid any
charges when I’ve moved out"
With millions of people likely to take on DIY projects over the coming
weeks, new research shows that more than half of people are planning to
make the most of the long, warm summer days to get jobs done. The
average spend per project will be around £823. Two thirds of people aim
to improve their comfort while at home. Two fifth wish to increase the
value of their house. Though DIY has traditionally been seen as male
hobby, the research shows it is women now leading the charge.
24. Which is closest in meaning to "a dab hand" in paragraph 1?
A. An artist. B. A winner. C. A specialist. D. A pioneer.
25. Why did Terri’s grandfather give her £5 a day?
A. For a birthday gift. B. As a treat for her work.
C. To support her DIY projects. D. To encourage her to take up a hobby.
26. How did Terri avoid losing the deposit on the house she rented?
A. By making it look like before. B. By furnishing it herself.
C. By splitting the rent with a roommate. D. By cancelling the rental
agreement.
27. What trend in DIY does the research show?
A. It is becoming more costly. B. It is getting more time-consuming.
C. It is turning into a seasonal industry. D. It is gaining popularity among
females.
C
I was about 13 when an uncle gave me a copy of Jostein
Gaarder’sSophie’s World. It was full of ideas that were new to me, so I
spent the summer with my head in and out of that book. It spoke to me
and brought me into a world of philosophy(哲学).
That love for philosophy lasted until I got to college. Nothing kills the love
for philosophy faster than people who think they understand Foucault,
Baudrillard, or Confucius better than you -- and then try to explain them.
Eric Weiner’sThe Socrates Express: In Search of Life Lessons from Dead
Philosophersreawakened my love for philosophy. It is not an explanation,
but an invitation to think and experience philosophy.
Weiner starts each chapter with a scene on a train ride between cities and
then frames each philosopher’s work in the context (背景) of one thing
they can help us do better. The end result is a read in which we learn to
wonder like Socrates, see like Thoreau, listen like Schopenhauer, and
have no regrets like Nietzsche. This, more than a book about
understanding philosophy, is a book about learning to use philosophy to
improve a life.
He makes philosophical thought an appealing exercise that improves the
quality of our experiences, and he does so with plenty of humor. Weiner
enters into conversation with some of the most important philosophers in
history, and he becomes part of that crowd in the process by decoding (解
读) their messages and adding his own interpretation.
The Socrates Expressis a fun, sharp book that draws readers in with its
apparent simplicity and gradually pulls them in deeper thoughts on desire,
loneliness, and aging. The invitation is clear: Weiner wants you to pick up
a coffee or tea and sit down with this book. I encourage you to take his
offer. It’s worth your time, even if time is something we don’t have a lot of.
28. Who opened the door to philosophy for the author?
A. Foucault. B. Eric Weiner.
C. Jostein Gaarder D. A college teacher.
29. Why does the author list great philosophers in paragraph 4?
A. To compare Weiner with them.
B. To give examples of great works.
C. To praise their writing skills.
D. To help readers understand Weiners book.
30. What does the author like aboutThe Socrates Express?
A. Its views on history are well-presented.
B. Its ideas can be applied to daily life.
C. It includes comments from readers.
D. It leaves an open ending.
31. What does the author think of Weiner’s book?
A. Objective and plain.
B. Daring and ambitious.
C. Serious and hard to follow.
D. Humorous and straightforward
D
Grizzly bears, which may grow to about 2.5m long and weigh over 400kg,
occupy a conflicted corner of the American psyche -- we revere (敬畏)
them even as they give us frightening dreams. Ask the tourists from
around the world that flood into Yellowstone National Park what they most
hope to see, and their answer is often the same: a grizzly bear.
"Grizzly bears are re-occupying large areas of their former range," says
bear biologist Chris Servheen. As grizzly bears expand their range into
places where they haven’t been seen in a century or more, they’re
increasingly being sighted by humans.
The western half of the U.S. was full of grizzlies when Europeans came,
with a rough number of 50,000 or more living alongside Native Americans.
By the early 1970s, after centuries of cruel and continuous hunting by
settlers, 600 to 800 grizzlies remained on a mere 2 percent of their former
range in the Northern Rockies. In 1975, grizzlies were listed under the
Endangered Species Act.
Today, there are about 2, 000 or more grizzly bears in the U.S. Their
recovery has been so successful that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
has twice attempted to de-list grizzlies, which would loosen legal
protections and allow them to be hunted. Both efforts were overturned due
to lawsuits from conservation groups. For now, grizzlies remain listed.
Obviously, if precautions(预 防) aren’t taken, grizzlies can become
troublesome, sometimes killing farm animals or walking through yards in
search of food. If people remove food and attractants from their yards and
campsites, grizzlies will typically pass by without trouble. Putting electric
fencing around chicken houses and other farm animal quarters is also
highly effective at getting grizzlies away. “Our hope is to have a clean,
attractant-free place where bears can pass through without learning bad
habits," says James Jonkel, longtime biologist who manages bears in and
around Missoula.
32. How do Americans look at grizzlies?
A. They cause mixed feelings in people.
B. They should be kept in national parks.
C. They are of high scientific value.
D. They are a symbol of American culture.
33. What has helped the increase of the grizzly population?
A. The European settlers’ behavior.
B. The expansion of bears’ range.
C. The protection by law since 1975.
D. The support of Native Americans.
34. What has stopped the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service from de-listing
grizzlies?
A. The opposition of conservation groups.
B. The successful comeback of grizzlies.
C. The voice of the biologists.
D. The local farmers’ advocates.
35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Food should be provided for grizzlies.
B. People can live in harmony with grizzlies.
C. A special path should be built for grizzlies.
D. Technology can be introduced to protect grizzlies.

Tricks To Becoming A Patient Person
Here’s a riddle: What do traffic jams, long lines andwaiting for a vacation
to start all have in common? There’s one answer.36 .
In the Digital Age, we’re used to having what we need immediately and
right at our fingertips. However, research suggests that if we practiced
patience, we’d be a whole lot better off. Here are several tricks.
●Practice gratitude (感激)
Thankfulness has a lot of benefits: Research shows it makes us happier,
less stressed and even more optimistic. __37 ." Showing thankfulness
can foster self-control," said Ye Li, researcher at the University of
California.
● Make yourself wait
Instant gratification (满足) may seem like the most "feel good" option at
the time, but psychology research suggests waiting for things actually
makes us happier in the long run. And the only way for us to get into the
habit of waiting is to practice._ 38 . Put off watching your favorite show
until the weekend or wait 10 extra minutes before going for that cake.
You’ll soon find that the more patience you practice, the more you start to
apply it to other, more annoying situations.
●39 .
So many of us have the belief that being comfortable is the only state we
will tolerate, and when we experience something outside of our comfort
zone, we get impatient about the circumstances. You should learn to say
to yourself, " 40" You’ll then gradually become more patient.
A. Find your causes
B. Start with small tasks
C. Accept the uncomfortable
D. All this adds up to a state of hurry
E. It can also help us practice more patience
F. This is merely uncomfortable, not intolerable
G. They’re all situations where we could use a little extra patience

For thousands of years, people have told fables (寓言) 61 (teach) a
lesson or to pass on wisdom. Fables were part of the oral tradition of many
early cultures, and the well-known Aesop’s fables dateto the 62 (six)
century,
B.
C.
Yet,
the
form
of
the
fable
still
has
values
today, 63 Rachel Carson says it in " A Fable for Tomorrow."
Carson uses a simple, direct style common to fable. In fact, her style and
tone (口吻) are seemingly directed at children." There was once a town in
the heart of America, 64 all life seemed to enjoy peaceful co-existence
with is surroundings," her fable begins, 65 (borrow) some familiar
words from many age-old fables. Behind the simple style, however, is a
serious message 66 (intend) for everyone.
67 (difference) from traditional fables, Carson’s story ends with an
accusation instead of a moral. She warns of the environmental dangers
facing
society,
and
she
teaches
that
people
must
take
responsibility 68 saving their environment.
The themes of traditional fables often deal with simple truths about
everyday life. However, Carson’s theme isa more weighty 69 (warn)
about environmental destruction. Carson proves that a simple literary form
that has been passed down through the ages can still 70 (employ)
today to draw attention to important truths.

I used to afraid of insects, but last Friday’ s biology class make a big
change in me. In that class, Miss Zhao, our biology teacher, showed we
insects on stamps. The bees, butterfly and many other insects looked
lovely and beautifully on the stamps. Miss Zhao told us the names of the
insects or described their living habits. She even played some recordings
of their singing, what was fun. Now, I’ve come to love those of small living
things. In the evening, when I take the walk in the school garden, the
singing of insects become more meaningful to me.
