Learning experiences happen to us in our lives. Not long ago, I had one that l would like to share.
I was going to Marblehead with my sailboat team. The team was racing down the highway 27 we realized we were hungry. Luckily, we saw a rest area ahead. I had a brand-new $ 20 bill. I was so 28 because I had never had that kind of cash before. But spending it on food seemed like throwing it away. We all rushed into the pizza line.29 I got a pizza and a drink, and walked to my table. About halfway through the meal, I 30 I had not handed any money to the cashier（收银员）. I had just walked out, and 31 had noticed. I felt terrible.
My conscience（良心）opened its mouth and swallowed（吞）me in one big bite.I couldn’t 32 over it.I just couldn’t go back to the cashier and pay for my stolen pizza. I was so upset（不安的）that I 33 to give myself the pleasure of an ice cream for 34 that someone would say, “Hey, Jeff.Why don’t you use the change from the pizza instead of that nice, new $ 20 bill?” I was not so 35 of my cash now.
For the next two years, 36 the “pizza thing” came into my mind, I 37 say to myself, “Don’t think about it...”
I have learned two things from this 38 . Maybe I was a fool 39 to my conscience, and being too stupid to have a free pizza. But the real lesson is that even if you get away from what you have done, your conscience will 40 you. This goes with the saying, “A coward（懦夫）dies a thousand deaths, a hero dies one.” I was a coward and have felt terrible 41 that at least a thousand times.If I had been a “hero” and gone back to pay for the pizza, I would have felt a little uncomfortable about it only once, or maybe twice.

When she was very young, Patti Wilson got to know that she was an epileptic（癫痫患者）and couldn’t live as normally as other children. Yet she liked running.She told her father that she would really love to break the world’s long-distance running record for women.
Her father did everything to help Patti to realize her dream.He checked the Guiness Book of World Records and found that the farthest any woman had run was 80 miles. He told Patti to make a careful plan. As a freshman（her first year）in high school, she said publicly that she was going to run from Orange County up to San Francisco（nearly 400 miles）, and the next year, as a sophomore, she would run to Portland, Oregon（over 1500 miles）. As a junior she would run to St. Louis（about 2 000 miles）and as a senior, to the White House（more than 3 000 miles away）!
At the start of her first year in high school in 1975, she and her dad ran the 100 miles from La Palma to San Diego. In that same year, as a freshman, she completed her run to San Francisco wearing a T-shirt that read, “I Love Epileptics.” Her dad ran every mile at her side. Her mom followed them in a motor home in case anything went wrong.
In her sophomore year, Patti’s classmates got behind her.They built a giant poster that read, “Run, Patti,Run!” On her way, she fractured（broke）a bone in her foot. A doctor told her she had to stop her run and put a east（铸件）on her foot, but she didn’t listen.The doctor had to wrap her foot up instead of putting it in a cast.She finished the run to Portland, completing her last mile with the head of Oregon.You may have seen the headlines:“ Super Runner, Patti Wilson Ends Marathon for Epilepsy on Her 17th Birthday.”
After four months of almost continuous running from the West Coast to the East Coast, Patti arrived in Washington, D. C. and shook the hand of the President of the United States.She told him, “I wanted people to know that epileptics are normal human beings with normal lives.”
46．Patti Wilson completed her run to San Francisco when she was in ________.

A new rule for the quick settlement of minor traffic accidents has worked amazingly well in improving traffic in Beijing. Traffic jams have become less since the new rule was started on July, 1．The jam caused by accidents dropped nearly 60 percent from last year.
One of the city’s biggest headaches, traffic overcrowding is talked about daily. The local government has done many things trying to solve the problem, including building new roads and crossovers, sending out more policemen and employing assistants to keep the order on the road. But these actions did not result in success.
The new rule for minor traffic accident settlement allows car owners to reach an agreement about the responsibility and payment in these accidents, instead of waiting for the police to support their agreements. The agreements are acceptable by the insurance companies.
Compared with constructing new roads, this new rule is only a change in traffic accident settlement procedures that does not cost taxpayers any money, but it has greatly lessened traffic jams.
This change actually allows all car owners to have the right to deal with the accident as long as there is no serious harm, damage or losses. In this way, the public has now become an active part in traffic management. The management becomes much better and the traffic is improved.
This is an enlightening example.The improvement of traffic depends not only on building new roads, but also on the method, system and detailed deals in the traffic management.
50．What does the underlined word “headaches” probably mean?
A．New roads.B．Traffic lights.C．Accidents.D．Problems.
51．What is the main idea of the last paragraph？
A．The traffic in Beijing is improving quickly.
B．An example is given for better agreement.
C．Building new roads depends on road system.
D．Management is important in improving traffic.
52．What can we infer（推断）according to the article?
A．Car owners can find the answer to traffic problems.
B．You must call the police when the accident happens.
C．It took a long time to work out a small traffic accident.
D．The new rule for the quick settlement is difficult to follow.
53．Which of the following might be the best title of the article?
A．Traffic Accidents in Beijing
B．New Rules Have Worked
C．Public Rules Prevent Accidents
D．New Roads Improved Traffic
(D)
Over the last 70 years, researchers have been studying happy and unhappy people and finally found out ten factors that make a difference. Our feelings of well-being at any moment are decided to a certain degree by genes. However, of all the factors, wealth and age are the top two.
Money can buy a degree of happiness. But once you can afford to feed, clothe and house yourself, each extra dollar makes less and less difference.
Researchers find that, on average, wealthier people are happier. But the link between money and happiness is complex (复杂的). In the past half-century, the average income (平均收入) has sharply increased in developed countries, yet happiness levels have remained almost the same. Once your basic needs are met, money only seems to increase happiness if you have more than your friends, neighbors and colleagues.
“Dollars buy status (social position), and status makes people feel better,”say some experts, which helps explain why people who can seek status in other ways, scientists or actors, for example, may happily accept relatively poorly-paid jobs.
In his research, Professor Alex Michalos found that the people whose desires (欲望), not just for money, but for friends, family, job, health, rose furthest beyond what they already had, tended to be less happy than those who felt a smaller gap (差距). Indeed, the size of the gap predicted happiness about five times better than income alone. “The gap measures just blow away the measures of only income.”says Michalos.
Another factor that has to do with happiness is age. Old age may not be so bad“Given all the problems of aging, how
could the elderly be more satisfied？”asks Professor Laura Carstensen. In one survey, Carstensen interviewed 184 people between the ages of 18 and 94, and asked them to fill out an emotion questionnaire. She found that old people reported positive emotions just as often as young people. Some scientists suggest older people may expect life to be harder and learn to live with it, or they’re more realistic about their time running out. Older people have learned to focus on things that make them happy and let go of those that don’t.
“People realize not only what they have, but also that what they have cannot last forever,”she says. “A goodbye kiss to a husband or wife at the age of 85, for example, may bring far more complex emotional responses than a similar kiss to a boy or girl friend at the age of 20.”
54. Some actors would like to accept poorly-paid jobs because the jobs .
A. make them feel much better
B. provide chances to make friends
C. improve their social position
D. satisfy their professional interests
55. Professor Alex Michalos found that people feel less happy if .
A. the gap between reality and desire is bigger
B. they have a stronger desire for friendship
C. the hope for good health is much greater
D. their income is far below their expectation
56. We can infer from the passage that older people ___________.
A. would like to have more goodbye kisses than young people
B. are used to living a hard life because they are kind to others
C. express their positive opinions just as some young people do
D. find it easier to feel happy because they are more realistic
57. According to the passage, the feeling of happiness .
A. i ncreases gradually with age
B. is controlled partly by desires
C. has little to do with wealth
D. is decided mostly by genes

Last week, we were told how some international students have few friends in their host countries when they study overseas. Student Union blogger Jessica Stahl watched the problem closely. Her study showed 75% of foreign students said they had more than 2 American friends. But 10% reported having no American friends.
Communications specialist Elisabeth Gareis also studied the problem. She says efforts on how to improve relationships between the two groups of students have yet to be studied in detail, but these efforts should begin with the university, and that these universities have been working hard. “Universities should build a bridge that improves the communication. And they can do that by, for example, designing activities at the beginning of the term.” She suggests taking walks, going on bicycle, field or camping trips, and attending parties, sporting events or film festivals. She says such activities should be held repeatedly to bring students together throughout the school term. Ms. Gareis also suggests that foreign students share housing with American students.
Many volunteers from universities and communities are trained and prepared to help foreign students. They assist new students as they complete government papers and find their academic (学业上的)advisors. They also help answer the traditional questions of new people anywhere. “Where do I get an ID card? Which is the best bank? How do I get a driver's license?” That kind of information is shared.
Experts believe that if the new students make friends as they begin school, they will come to feel part of the life and traditions of the university.
69 How many overseas students have no American friends?
