Both from poor working-class families, they married young and set out to fulfill their mutual goal of becoming wealthy. They both worked very hard for years. _25_ (earn) enough money, they finally could move from their two-bedroom home to a seven-bedroom home in a rich neighbourhood. They focused their energies on trying to have _26_ they considered important for a good life: membership in the local country club, luxury cars, designer clothing, and high-class society friends. _27_ much they earned, it never seemed to be enough. They were unable to remove the financial insecurity that _28_ (acquire) in childhood. Then the stock market crashed in 1987, and Alan and Linda lost a considerable amount of money. Alan also suffered from heart attack, _29_ cost the family much. One thing led to _30_, and they found themselves in a financial disaster. Their house needed to be sold, and eventually they lost the country club membership and the cars. It was several years _31_ Alan and Linda managed to land on their feet, and though they now live a life far from wealthy, they have learned a valuable lesson from their lives and felt quite blessed. Only now, as they think of what remains a solid, loving marriage, a dependable income, and good friends _32_ they realize that true abundance comes not from gathering fortunes, but rather from appreciating.(B)We all hope to enjoy harmonious relationships with our parents. In real life, however, this is not always possible.

In its place is love and gratitude. It dawns on him that love is not just hugging and kissing, or always warm and affectionate, but _37_ well be cold and stern in appearance.

This is certainly very discouraging. However, if we remember _39_ (be) grateful or not so self-centered, we will see that their love has always been there, only _40_ (express) in ways different from what we may have expected.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B,C or D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The US Department of Labour statistics show that there is an oversupply of college-trained workers. And this oversupply is _50_ . Already there have been more than enough teachers; engineers, physicists, aerospace experts and other specialists. Yet, colleges and graduate schools continue every year to _51_ highly trained people to compete for jobs that arent there. The result is that graduates cannot enter the _52_ for which they were trained, and they must take temporary jobs which do not require a college degree and these temporary jobs are most probably becoming _53_ ones in the severe labor markets. _54_ , there is a great need for skilled workers of all sorts : carpenters, electricians, mechanics, plumbers, TV repairmen. These people have more work than they can handle. As a result , their _55_ are often higher than those of college graduates. The old concept that white-collar workers make a better living than blue-collar workers no longer holds true. The law of supply and demand now is _56_ the skilled workmen. The reason for this situation is the traditional myth that _57_ is a passport to prosperous future. A large part of American society matches success in life _58_ with a college degree. Parents begin brainwashing their children with this myth before they are out of grade school . High school teachers play their part by acting as if high school education were a preparation for _59_ rather than for life. Whether they want to go to college or not doesnt matter: everybody should go to college , so of course they must go . Under this pressure, the kids have to go to college, but, unfortunately, most kids _60_ in the starting line. In spite of this, every year college enrollments go up and up, and more and more graduates are _61_ for the kinds of jobs available to them. One result of this emphasis on a college education is that many people go to college where they do not _62_ . Half of the sixty percent of high school graduates who enter college do not graduate with their class. Many of them drop out within the first year because of their _63_ academic performance. Some _64_ for two or three and then join the other students who drop out. Its high time we stopped to rethink our education system.50. A. declining B. increasing C. dropping D. decreasing51.

Yesterday he proudly claimed in court that despite his complete lack of medical experience or qualifications, he had saved several peoples lives. He had even been allowed to assist a surgeon during an emergency operation on a patient who was about to die on something she had swallowed. “I watched one of those TV dramas about a hospital and suddenly I felt like playing one of the roles myself. So I put on a white jacket and a stethoscope(听诊器)and walked around one of the biggest hospital in London. At first I just watched. Once you learn how doctors talk to patients, nurses and others doctors, its easy to take people in,” he said. One of the patients he treated was Laura Kennan. She had been knocked down by a car and fainted. When she came to in hospital, York was standing over her. “He looked very professional. He told me his name was Doctor Simon. Then he gave me some sort of injection,” she said. And then he suddenly cleared off when a nurse asked who he was. She didnt think there was anything wrong. “I would never have realized he was a fake if a policewoman hadnt showed me his photograph a week later. When the policewoman told me who he really was, I could hardly believe my ears.” Judge Raymond Adams told York that he was “shocked and horrified” that he got away with his deceiving for so long. And then sentenced him to eighteen months in a special prison for criminal with mental disorders.“I can only hope that this will not lead to further problems. After all, you will have considerable opportunity to study the behaviour of the psychiatrists(精神科医生)who will look after you while you are there. If you try to persuade people that you yourself are a psychiatrist after you are set free, I shall make sure that you are given a much longer sentence.” Judge Adams warned York.65. York was proud of the fact that _.A. a surgeon let him watch an operation.B. he could perform some duties of a doctorC. he had cheated doctors for so longD. people thought he could become a real doctor66. York learned how to behave like a doctor by _.A. wa
