A

       Who is there among us who hasn’t dreamed of having his or her own small (maybe, several years later, even big) business, and having wonderful freedom, both from a boss and from the time clock: the freedom to make up our own rules for our work, and our own plans--- arranging our own hours of work? That way work would be both painless and fun. Or, so we imagine.

       Well, in fact it isn’t quite as simple as that. Yes, it is true that being the boss has its satisfactions and that you can arrange your working hours freely if you own your own small business. But in those early years of starting your own business, you shouldn’t think of a free day, not to mention flying off for a month’s vacation. It is not unusual for new business owners to work seventy or eighty hours a week, and if there is a day off, that day might need to be devoted to accounting(算帐).

       But this negative picture doesn’t destroy the beautiful hopes. The possibility of getting something wonderful in return--- both material and mental--- continues to drive that large number of people who start up small businesses each year in the United States.

56. From the first paragraph, we know that everybody hopes ______.

       A. to rule others                                 B. to be his or her own boss

       C. to get a time clock                           D. to be free from work

57. Most new business owners have to ______.

       A. work more than 10 hours a day            B. devote himself to accounting

       C. fly to some places in the world       D. have a day off in a week

58. The expression “negative picture” most probably means “_________”.

A.      a terrible experience           B. a poor picture

C. limited freedom                              D. unpleasant situations

59.The beautiful hopes will never be destroyed because __________.

A.      people love beautiful things by nature

B.      people have a strong desire to seek personal gains

C.      small businesses make big money each year in the US

D.     small businesses have advantages over big companies

B

Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers (青少年). But last summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son: suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. “The door to his room is always shut,” Joanna noted.

       Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. “She used to cuddle up (蜷缩) with me on the sofa and talk,” said Mark. “Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady. The problem is figuring out which time is which.”

       Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what’s on their minds. “In fact, parents are first on the list,” sand Michael Riera, author of Uncommon sense for Parents with Teenager.” This completely changes during the teen years,” Riera explained. “They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last.”

       Parents who know what’s going on in their teenagers’ lives are in the best position to help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental break, for children also need freedom, though young. Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them.

60. “The door to his room is always shut” suggests that the son _______.

A.      is always busy with his studies            B. doesn’t want to be disturbed

C. keep himself away from his parents            D. begins to dislike his parents

61. What troubles Tina and Mark most is that _______.

A.      their daughter isn’t as lively as before

B.      they can’t read their daughter’s mind exactly

C.      they don’t know what to say to their daughter

D.     their daughter talks with them only when she needs help

62. Which of the following best explains “the wall of silence” in the last paragraph?

A.      Teenagers talk a lot with their friends.

B.      Teenagers do not want to understand their parents.

C.      Teenagers do not talk much with their parents.

D.     Teenagers talk little about their own lives.

63. What can be learned from the passage?

A.      Parents are unhappy with their growing children.

B.      Parents have suitable ways to talk with their teenagers.

C.      Parents should be patient with their silent teenagers.

D.     Parents should try to understand their teenagers.

       Do you want to live another 100 years or more? Some experts say that scientific advances will one day enable humans to last tens of years beyond what is now seen as the natural limit of the human life span.

       “I think we are knocking at the door of immortality(永生),” said Michael Zey, a Montclair State University business professor and author of two books on the future. “I think by 2075 we will see it and that’s a conservative estimate(保守估计).”

       At the conference in San Francisco, Donald Louria, a professor at New Jersey Medical School in Newark said advances in using genes as well as nanotechnology (纳米) make it likely that humans will live in the future beyond what has been possible in the past. “There is a great push so that people can live from 120 to 180 years,” he said. “Some have suggested that there is no limit and that people could live to 200 or 300 or 500 years.”

       However, many scientists who specialize in ageing are doubtful about it and say the human body is just not designed to last about 120 years. Even with healthier lifestyles and less disease, they say failure of the brain and organs will finally lead all humans to death.

       Scientists also differ on what kind of life the super aged might live. “It remains to be seen if you pass 120, you know; could you be healthy enough to have good quality of life?” said Leonard Poon, director of the University of Georgia Gerontology Centre. “At present people who could get to that point are not in good health at all.”

64. By saying “we are knocking at the door of immortality”, Michael Zey means________.

A.      they believe that there is no limit of living

B.      they are sure to find the truth about long living

C.      they have got some ideas about living forever

D.     they are able to make people live past the present life span

65. Donald Louria’s attitude toward long living is that _________.

A.      people can live from 120 to 180

B.      it is still doubtful how long humans can live

C.      the human body is designed to last about 120 years

D.     it is possible for humans to live longer in the future

66. The underlined “it” (Paragraph 4) refers to ______.

A.      a great push                 B. the idea of living beyond the present life span

C. the idea of living from 200 to 300 years              D. the conservative estimate

67. What would be the best title for this text?

A.      Living Longer or Not        B. Science, Technology and Long Living

C. No Limit for Human Life                D. Healthy Lifestyle and Long Living
