根据以下材料，回答题

Middle Age: A Low Point for Most

People around the globe hit the height of their misery and depression in middle 51_________ .， a new international study suggests. The finding by British and American researchers was based on an analysis of well-being among approximately 52_________ million people in 80 nations. With few exceptions，the observation appears to apply across the board， regardless 2 gender （性别） ， culture，geography， wealth， job history， education， and marriage or parental status.

"The scientific fact seems to be that happiness and positive mental health follow a giant "U" 53_________ through life，" said study author Andrew J. Oswald， a professor of economics at Warwick University in Warwickshire， England. "For the average person， it"s high when you"re 20， and then it slowly 54_________ and bottoms out in your 40s. But the good news is that your 55_________ health picks up again， and eventually gets back to the high levels of your youth."

The finding was 56_________ on the pooling of several different sources of happiness data，including: two multi-decade happiness/satisfaction surveys （first launched in the 1970s）， involving about 500，000 American and Western European men and women; four rounds of the 80-nation "World Values Survey" 57_________ between 1981 and 2004 in North America， Eastern and WesternEurope， Asia， Africa， Australia， and Central and South America; and a 2004-2007 survey 58_________ nearly 1 million Britons.

The bottom-line: For most people throughout the world， the highest probability for 59_________ striking is around 44 years of age.

In the United States， however， some as-yet unexplained 60_________ differences were observed， with happiness among men dipping the most in their early 50s， whereas women hit their nadir （最低点 ） around the age of 40.

The researchers cautioned that cheerful people tend to live longer than unhappy. 61_________ – a fact that might have skewed （使偏斜） the overall finding. But they also suggested that evidence of a happiness 62_________ might simply reflect a midlife choice to give up long-held but no longer tenable （守得住的） aspiration （志向）， followed by a senior"s sense of gratitude for having successfully endured 63_________ others did not.

"That said， some might find it helpful simply to understand the general 64_________ of mental health as they go through their own life，" said Oswald. "It might be useful for people to realize that if they are 65_________ in their 40s this is normal. It is not exceptional. And just knowing this might help".

根据以下材料，回答题

Migrant （移民的） Workers

In the past twenty years， there has been an increasing tendency for workers to move from one country to another. While some countries have restricted most __________ （51） to local people，others have attracted and welcomed migrant workers. This is particularly the case in the Middle East， __________ （52） increased oil incomes have enabled many countries to call in outsiders to improve local facilities. Thus the Middle East has attracted oilworkers __________ （53） the U. S. A. and Europe. It has brought in workers from many countries， __________ （54） South Korea and Japan.

In view of the difficult living and worldng __________ （55） in the Middle East， it is not surprising that the pay is high to attract suitable workers. Many engineers and technicians can __________ （56） at least twice as much money in the Middle East as they can in their own country， and this is a major __________ （57）

Sometimes a disadvantage has a compensating （补偿的 ）advantage. For example， the __________ （58）living conditions often lead to increased friendship when workers have to __________ （59） on each other for safety and comfort. In a similar way， many migrant workers can save large sums of money partly because of the __________ （60） of entertainment facilities. The work is often complex and full of problems but this merely __________ （61） greater challenge to engineers who prefer to find solutions to problems rather than do routine work in their home country.

One major problem which __________ （62） migrant workers in the Middle East is that their jobs are temporary ones. They are nearly always on __________ （63） ， so it is not easy for them to plan ahead with great confidence. This is to be __________ （64） since no country welcomes a large number of foreign workers as permanent residents. In any __________ （65）， migrant workers accept this disadvantage， along with others， because of the considerable financial benefits which they receive.

根据以下材料，回答题

Tales of the Terrible Past

It is not the job of fiction writers to analyze and interpret history. Yet by writing about the past in a vivid and compelling manner， storytellers can bring earlier eras to life and force readers to consider them seriously. Among those taking on the task of recounting history are some black writers who attempt to examine slavery from different points of view.

Nobel Prize-winning author Toni Morrison deals specifically with the legacy of slavery in her book Beloved. The main character in this novel， a former slave called Sethe， lives in Ohio in the years following the Civil War， but she cannot free herself from her horrific memories. Through a series of flashbacks and bitter reminiscences， the reader learns how and why Sethe escaped from the plantation she had lived on; the fate of her husband， who also tried to escape; and finally， what happened to the child called Beloved. Morrison"s scenes of torture and murder are vivid and strongly convey the desperation of the slaves and the cruelty of their owners.

Charles Johnson"s Middle Passage approaches slavery from a different， yet no less violent，vantage point. His main character， Rutherfprd Calhoun， is a ne"er-do-well free black American who stows away on a slave ship bound for Africa to collect its "cargo". Put to work after he is discovered，Calhoun witnesses firsthand the appalling conditions in which the captured Africans are transported.

When they finally rebel and take over the ship， he finds himself in the middle—— and is forced to come to terms with who he is and what his values are.

Neither Beloved nor Middle Passage is an easy read， but both exemplify African American writers" attempts to bring significant historical situations alive for a modem audience.

This passage is mostly about 查看材料

A.the causes of slavery in America

B.black writers in the late 20th century

C.why Morrison and Johnson wrote the books they did

D.two novels that deal with slavery

阅读材料，回答题。

Intellectual Revolution

Culture is activity of thought, and receptiveness to beauty and humane feeling. Scraps of information have nothing to do with it. A merely well-informed man is the most useless51on God&39;s earth. What we should52at producing is men who possess both culture and expert knowledge in some special direction.Their expert knowledge will give them the ground to start53, and their culture will lead them as54as philosophy and as high as art. We have to remember that the valuable55development is self-development,and that it56takes place between the ages of sixteen and thirty. As to training, the most important part is given by mothers before the age of twelve.

In training a child to activity of thought, above all things we must beware of what I will call "inert ideas" -that is to say, ideas that are merely.57into the mind without being utilized, or tested, or thrown into fresh combinations. In the history of education, the most58phenomenon is that schools of learning, which at one epoch are alive with a craze for genius, in a59generation exhibit merely pedantry and routine. The reason is that they are overladen with inert ideas. Except at60intervals of intellectual motivation, education in the past has been radically 61with inert ideas. That is the reason why. 62clever women, who have seen much of the world, are in middle life so much the most cultured part of the community. They have been saved from this horrible63of inert ideas. Every intellectual revolution which has ever stirred humanity64 greatness has been a65protest against inert ideas.

U.S. to Start $3.2 Billion Child Health Study in January

A study that will cost $3.2 billion and last more than two decades to track the health of 100，000 U.S. children from before birth to age 21 will be launched in January， U. S. health officials said on Friday.

Officials from the U. S. government"s National Institutes of Health said they hope the study， to be conducted at 105 locations throughout the United States， can help identify early-life influences that affect later development， with the goal of learning new ways to treat or prevent illness.

The study will examine hereditary and environmental factors such as exposure to certain chemicals that affect health.

Researchers will collect genetic and biological samples from people in the study as well as samples from the homes of the women and their babies including air， water， dust and materials used to construct their residences， the NIH said.

Officials said more than $200 million has been spent already and the study is projected to cost $3.2 billion.

"We anticipate that in the long term， what we learn from the study will result in a significant savings in the nation"s health care costs，" Dr. Duane Alexander， who heads the NIH"s Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development， told reporters.

The study will begin in January when the University of North Carolina and the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York start signing up pregnant women whose babies will then be followed to age 21.

Some of the early findings will be about factors behind pre-term birth， which has become more common in recent years， according to Dr. Peter Scheidt of the NIH， who heads the study.

The people taking part will be from rural， urban and suburban areas， from all income and educational levels and from all racial groups， the NIH said.

The aim of the study is to find new ways to __________. 查看材料

A.conduct research

B.track public health

C.prevent or treat illness

D.speed up development

根据以下材料，回答题

The Romance of Arthur

Most cultures have some sort of hero who represents the best values of what its people believe in. The unusual thing about King Arthur is that legends of his heroism have persisted for several centuries and spread far beyond England， the place where they began.

The earliest stories of King Arthur represent him as a warrior who fought and defeated the invading Norsemen in the years around A. D.700. This much of the Arthurian tale is probably based on fact. Whether called Arthur or not， there is a body of evidence supporting the existence of such a warrior. It is the later embellishments （美化） of the tale whose authenticity （真实性） is questionable. According to these， Arthur was born in a castle in Tintagel on the stormy western coast of England and because he was the illegal son of King Uther Pendragon， he was spirited away（拐走） by the magician Merlin and his true identity kept from him. He became king after freeing the sword Excalibur from the stone into which it was thrust. He marred the beautiful Guinevere and assembled in his court all the noblest knights of the land， including Lancelot，with whom Guinevere would later be unfaithful to him. He was finally defeated in battle by his son Mordred.

This romantic tale greatly appealed to the English and the French in the Middle Ages， when the code of chivalry （骑士） -ideal qualities of knighthood-constituted an important part of many stories. Tales of the heroism of Galahad， Percival， Gawain， and many other of Arthur"s knights were spread as well.

In England today， there are many sites claiming a piece of the Arthurian an legend. There is a mined castle at Tintagel. Near Glastonbury are the remains of an ancient abbey where Arthur"s and Guinevere"s bodies were supposedly exhumed in the 12th century. Neither of these proves that the legend is true， but they do keep its mystique alive.

King Arthur‘s father was___________ . 查看材料

A.Lancelot

B.Avalon

C.Mordred

根据以下材料，回答题

The Fat Problem That Men Face

It is a pleasure to see men of a certain age worrying about their weight. Listening to them is not such a pleasure. Because the men are new at the game， they don"t hesitate to discuss the fat problem incessantly. However， women of the same age do not discuss the fat problem， especially not in mixed company. They prefer to face the problem with quiet dignity. Discussing the problem might only draw attention to some stray body part that may be successfully tucked away under an article of clothing.

The age at which a man begins to explore the fat problem can vary. The actual problem can manifest itself in the early 30"s， but broad-range discussion usually starts later. There are early nonverbal symptoms. I"ve watched the rugged journalist who shares my apartment sneak by with a Diet Coke. His shirts are no longer neatly tucked in to display a trim waist. Recently he has begun to verbalize his anxiety. He tells me， with a sheepish grin， that he is taking his suits to Chinatown to have them "ailored."

Still-older men have lost their dignity and rattle on unabashedly. Often， wives and children play important roles in their fat-inspection rituals. Take my oldest brother， a former college football player， as an example. His daughter says that several times a day he will stand at attention and call out， "Fat， medium or thin？" She knows the correct answer: medium. Thin would be an obvious stretch， and fat may not get her that new video. According to his wife， he stands in front of the mirror in the morning （before the day"s meals take their toll）， puts his hands behind his head and lurches into a side bend， then clutches the roll that has developed and says， "Am I getting fatter？"

His wife is expected to answer， "You look like you may have lost a few pounds."

And then there are the ex-husbands， a pitiful group. They are extremely vocal. When I go to the movies with one， he confides that he is suffering from great hunger because he is dieting. He hasn"t eaten since the pancakes and sausages he wolfed down that morning. He pauses in his monologue while he buys his popcorn. After the movie， we sprint to a restaurant， where he again pauses to devour a basket of bread. Before he orders his chaste salad and soup， he grows plaintive. Do I think he"s fat？

Men of a certain age are always ready to talk about their fat problem. 查看材料

请根据短文的内容，回答题。

The Changing Middle Class

The United States perceives itself to be a middle-class nation. However, middle class is not a real designation, nor does it carry privileges. It is more of a perception, which probably was as true as it ever could be right after World War II. The economy was growing, more and more people owned their own homes, workers had solid contracts with the companies that employed them, and nearly everyone who wanted a higher education could have one. Successful people enjoyed upward social mobility. They may have started out poor, but they could become rich. Successful people also found that they had greater geographic mobility. In other words, they found themselves moving to and living in a variety of places.

The middle class collectively holds several values and principles. One strong value is the need to earn enough money to feel that one can determine one&39;s own economic fate. In addition,middle-class morality embraces principles of individual responsibility, importance of family,obligations to others, and believing in something outside oneself.

But in the 1990s those in the middle class found that there was a price for success. A U. S.News & World Report survey in 1994 indicated that 75 percent of Americans believed that middle-class families could no longer make ends meet. Both spouses now worked, as did some of the children;long commutes became routine; the need for child care put strains on the family; and public schools were not as good as they once were. Members of the middle class were no longer financing their lifestyles through earnings but were using credit to stay afloat. The understanding of just what middle class meant was changing.

The information in this passage deals with__________. 查看材料

B.a social and economic group

根据以下材料，回答题。

Electronic Mail

During the past few years，scientists all over the world have suddenly found themselves productively engaged in task they once spent their lives hvoiding——writing，any kind of writing，but particularly letter writing.Encouraged by electronic mail’s surprisingly high speed，convenience and economy，people who never before touched the stuff are regularly，skillfully，even cheerfullv tapping out a great deal of correspondence.

Electronic networks，woven into the fabric of scientific communication these davs. are the route to colleagues in distant countries，shared data，bulletin boards and electronic Joumals.Anyone with a personal computer， a modern and the software to link computers over teleDhone lines can sign on？An estimated five million scientists have done SO with more joining every day，most of them communicating through a bundle of interconnected domestic and foreign routes known collectively as the Internet，or net.

E-mail is starting to edge out the fax，the telephone，overnight mail，and of course.1and mail. It shrinks time and distance between scientific collaborators，in part because it is conveniently asynchronous（异步的）（Writers can type while their colleagues acmss time zones sleep;their message will be waiting.）.If it is not yet speeding discoveries，it is certainly accelerating communication.

Jeremy Bernstein，the physicist and science writer，once called E-mail the Dhysicist，s umbilical cord（脐带）.Later other people，t00，have been discovering its connective virtues.Physicists are using it;college students are using it;everybody is using it;and as a sign that it has come of age，the New Yorker has celebrated its liberating presence with a cartoon—an appreciative dog seated at a keyboard，saying happily，“on the Internet，nobody knows you’re a dog.”

The reasons given below about the popularity of E—mail can be found in the passage except 查看材料

A.direct and reliable

B.time—saving in delivery

C.money-saving
