Week by week her _31 grew: I was skinny, I wasnt a good student, I was a tomboy, I talked too loud, and so on. 32 , I ran to my father in tears and anger. He listened to me quietly. Then he asked, “Are the things she says true or not? Mary, didnt you ever 33 what youre really like? Make a list of everything she said and 34 the points that are true. Pay 35 attention to other things she said.”I did as he directed. I brought the list to Daddy. He 36 to take it.“That is just for you,” he said, “You know better than anybody else the 37 about yourself. But youve got to learn to 38 , not to close your ears in anger or 39 . When something said about you is true youll know it. Youll find it will echo (共鸣) inside you.”Daddys advice has returned to me at many critical moments.One such moment came when I went to Hollywood (好莱坞). Over and over again for two years I auditioned（试镜头）without luck. One of the directors, 40 with seeing me so often, said, “Your nose is too big and your neck is too long. Youll never make it in 41 .”Here was truth, I suppose, but it wasnt the 42 kind. There was nothing I could do about my neck and nose except work twice as hard to succeed in spite of them. Then the kind of truth I needed to hear finally came. A director holding auditions for the St. Louis Municipal Opera (歌剧) Company took me aside and said, “You must learn to sing your own 43 .”At first I was too full of 44 to give his words much attention. Then I listened over again, listened for the truth, and boom! It echoed inside me as Daddy always said it would. If I was ever to be a success, it would have to be as 45 , and no one else.Success came rapidly after that, and soon I was a star on Broadway (百老汇，纽约戏剧中心).31.A. listB. actionC. angerD. record 32.A.

Located on the Red Hill in Lhasa, Tibet, it is 3,700 meters above sea level and covers an area of over 360,000 square meters, measuring 360 meters from east to west and 270 meters from south to north. The palace has 13 stories, and is 117 meters high.In 641, Songtsan Gambo, ruler of the Tubo Kingdom, had the potala Palace built for Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty, whom he was soon to marry. This structure was later burned to the ground during a war and was rebuilt in the 17th century by the Fifth Dalai Lama. Repeated repairs and expansions until 1645 finally brought the palace to its present scale. Over the past three centuries, the palace gradually became a place where the Dalai Lama lived and worked and a place for keeping the remains of successive Dalai Lama.The stone-and-wood-structured Potala Palace consists of the White Palace and Red Palace. The White Palace, comprising（包括） halls, temples and courtyards, serves as the living quarters of the Dalai Lama. The Red Palace includes various chambers for the worshipping Buddha and chambers housing the eight stupas that contain the remains of fifth through thirteenth Dalai Lama. All the stupas are covered with gold foil. The most magnificent stupa belongs to the fifth Dalai Lama. It is 14.85meters tall and inlaid（镶嵌）with pearl and jade. The palace also collected a large number of sculptures, murals（壁画）, scripture（经文）, and other valuable cultural relics.In 1994, the palace joined the list of world cultural heritage sites.46. The present building the Potala Palace was first built by _.A. Songtsan Gambo B. Princess WenchengC. the Fifth Dalai Lama D. a king of the Tang Dynasty47. Which of the following DOESNT belong to the Potala Palace?A. The Red HillB. The Red PalaceC. The living quarters of the Dalai LamaD. The White Palace48. From the passage, we can infer that _.A. the Potala Palace was built for religious purpose at the very beginningB. the Tubo Kingdom once had a good relationship with the Tang DynastyC. in the White Palace lived the worshipping Buddha while in the Red Palace lived the Dalai LamaD. because of war, now the Potala Palace is smaller than its original sizeBWHAT can help you make a fortune in the future? Graduating from a top university might not be enough. A new study from the University of Essex in Britain has shown that the more friends you have in school, the more money youll earn later. The idea that popularity could have a serious impact on ones earning potential shouldnt come as too much of a surprise. The researchers noted that if you want to get ahead in life, social skills and networking are easily as powerful as talent and hard work.If a person has lots of friends, it means that he or she has the ability to get along with others in all kinds of different situations, said Xu Yanchun, 17, from Nantou High School in Shenzhen, who totally agreed with the recent finding. Also, friends always help each other. They not only create wider social circles for you but lift your mood when you occasionally feel depressed, said Xu. She believed that all this helps you earn a higher salary.Maybe thats why some people think the younger generations are in the age of Friendalholism (交友狂症). A woman even complained that the networking website Facebooks 5,000-friend limit was too low for her large reserve of social contacts. But what does a friend mean? Should friends be regarded as a form of currency? Call me uncool, but I think of a friend as an actual person with whom I have an actual history and whom I enjoy actually seeing. It seems, however, that this is no longer the definition (定义) of friend, said Meghan Daum, who works with The Los Angeles Times in the US. Daum despised (鄙视) the idea that quantity trumps (胜过) quality in the age of friendaholism. She thought the idea of friendship, at least among the growing population of Internet social networkers, was only to get as many of not-really-friends as possible. For example, a friend might be someone you might know personally but who could just as easily be the friend of a friend of some other Facebook friend you dont actually know. Although she agreed that social ties grease (润滑) the wheels of life, she also warned, Too bad！ One thing money cant buy is a real friend. 49. According to the first two passages, we may conclude that_.A. it is surprising that popularity could have a serious impact on ones earning potential.B. one only has to be a graduate from a top university in order to get ahead in the future.C. making friends plays an important role in making a fortune in the future.D. talent and hard work matters more than social skills and networking in getting ahead in life.50. According to the passage, Daum will probably disagree that_.A. a Facebook friend can be of greater help than a real friendB. quality matters more than quantity in the age of friendaholismC. social ties can be quite helpful to ones lifeD. money can never buy one a real friend51. Whats this passage mainly about?A. How one can make more friends.B. Why one has to make more friends.C. Friends can help with ones future success.D. Different opinions on making friends.CTo get an extra 14 years of life, dont smoke, eat lots of fruits and vegetables, exercise regularly and drink alcohol in a proper amount. That is according to a study published this Monday in the Public Library of Science Medicine Journal. After tracking more than 20,000 people aged 45 to 79 years in the UK from about 1993 to 2008, Kay-Tee Khaw of the University of Cambridge and his colleagues found that people who adopted these four healthy habits s lived an average of 14 years longer than who didnt.“Were known for a long time that these behaviors are good things to do, but weve not seen this benefit before,” said Susan Jebb, head of Nutrition and Health at Britains Medical Research Council. “The benefit was also seen regardless of whether or not people were fat and social class they came from.”Study participants (参与者) scored a point each for not smoking, regular physical activity, eating five servings of fruits and vegetables a day and moderate alcohol intake.Public health experts said they hoped the study would inspire governments to introduce policies helping people to adopt these changes. But because the study only observed people rather than testing specific changes, it would be impossible to conclude that people who suddenly adopted these healthy behaviors would surely gain 14 years.“We cant say that any person could gain 14 years by doing these things,” said Dr
