14.Are you a compulsive spender,or do you hold on to your money as long as possible?Are you a bargain hunter?Would you rather use charge accounts than pay in cash?Your answers to these questions will reflect your personality.According to psychologists,our individual money habits not only show our beliefs and values,but can also stem from past problems.
Experts in psychology believe that for many people,money is an important symbol of strength and influence.Husbands who complain about their wives'spending habits may be afraid that they are losing power in their marriage.Wives,on the other hand,may waste huge amounts of money because they are angry at their husbands.In addition,many people consider money a symbol of love.They spend it on their family and friends to express love,or they buy themselves expensive presents because they need love.
People can be addicted to different things-for example,alcohol,drugs,certain foods,or even television.They are compulsive in their addictions,i.e.they must satisfy these needs to feel comfortable.In the same way,according to psychologists,compulsive spenders must spend money.
For people who buy on credit,furthermore,charge accounts are even more exciting than money:in other words,they feel that with credit,they can do anything.Their pleasures in spending enormous amounts are actually greater than those they get from the things they buy.
There is even a special psychology of bargain hunting.To save money,of course,most people look for sales,low prices,and discounts.Compulsive bargain hunters,however,often buy things that they don't need just because they are cheap.They want to believe that they are helping their budgets,but they are really playing an exciting game:when they can buy something for less than other people,they feel that they are winning.Most people,experts claim,have two reasons for their behavior:a good reason for the things that they do and the real reason.
It is not only scientists,of course,who understand the psychology of spending habits,but also business people.Stores,companies,and advertisers use psychology to increase business:they consider people's needs for love,power,or influence,their basic values,their beliefs and opinions,etc.in their advertising and sales methods.
Psychologists often use a method called"behavior therapy(療法)"to help individuals solve their personality problems.In the same way,they can help people who feel that they have problems with money:they give them"assignments"If a person buys something in every store that he enters,for instance,a therapist might teach him self discipline in this way:on the first day of his therapy,he must go into a store,stay five minutes,and then leave.On the second day,he should stay for ten minutes and try something on.On the third day,he stays for fifteen minutes,asks the salesclerk a question,but does not buy anything.Soon he will learn that nothing bad will happen to him if he doesn't buy anything,and he can solve the problem of his compulsive buying.

61.If you use charge accounts,C.
    A.you pay in cash                      B.you pay less than you should

    C.finding out how people will react if they are allowed to buy
    D.finding out what people will do in front of a bargain
64.The underlined word"those"in Paragraph 3 refers toC.
    A.different things                    B.their addictions
    C.their pleasures                     D.charge accounts
65.From the passage we can conclude thatA.

6.
For:Doug Smith,Director of wolf recovery,Yellowstone National Park
In the world today there is so much we are losing; more and more species disappear from the earth every year.The time has come to put something back,to restore(恢復(fù))to treat some of the old wounds enforced on nature over the years.
Wolves are animals killing and eating other animals in North America.They play an important role in keeping the continent healthy.Most places don't have enough wild country to make their restoration possible,which means it's even more important to restore wolves where conditions are right,places like Yellowstone,which has both a high level of wildness,as well as abundant creatures that wolves hunt and eat for living.
Some who oppose wolf restoration have a human centered point of view that the earth is here for humans,we can use it whenever we want and for whatever purpose.But wolves offer us a chance to live another way-a way to learn to live with other life forms.
Against:Larry Bourret,Vice President,Wyoming Farm Bureau
What does wolf introduction to Yellowstone mean?To the average citizen it probably just means introducing wolves to Yellowstone.There would be no unfavorable effects because few people live near Yellowstone.
But to farmers it means introducing wolves,which wander over vast areas-in and out of the park-onto their farms.Wolves eat meat-as in the cattle,sheep that keep farmers in business.Introduction apparently also means lawsuits by environmental groups attempting to remove livestock(家畜,牲畜) from federal lands.To farmers,who own private lands in the same area,it means the possibility of ?nancial ruin.To farmers it is a form of land use restrictions.To farmers introducing wolves means taking away the farmers'livelihoods without just compensation.Why do people not want a nuclear power plant built in their backyard?For the same reason farmers do not want wolves introduced into their backyard.
60.What are the two passages mainly about?C
A.How to keep the balance of nature.
B.How to increase the number of wolves.
C.Whether to introduce wolves to Yellowstone.
D.Whether to remove livestock away from federal lands.
61.According to the passage Doug Smith isC.
A.a(chǎn) private land owner
B.a(chǎn)n enthusiastic hunter
C.a(chǎn) wildlife conservationist
D.a(chǎn) national park administrator
62.What are the farmers concerned about?B
A.Being forced to leave their homes.
B.Suffering heavy financial loss.
C.Having to sell their farmland.
D.Being controlled by wolves.
63.Why does Larry Bourret mention"nuclear power plant"?B
A.To summarize his opinion.
B.To make his view persuasive.
C.To tell the danger of nuclear power plant.
D.To introduce the background of wolf recovery.

13.When Siva Kalyan was born,his backbone was deformed(畸形的)resulting in a lifelong difficulty in walking.But that hasn't stopped the nine-year-old from becoming a prodigy(天才).
Until he was three-and-a-half years old,Siva could not even crawl.Wanting the best treatment for their son,Siva's parents moved with him from India to Australia and later to the USA.
In the USA,his parents enrolled(使入學(xué))him in the second grade based on his age.But his teachers soon realized they had a genius.Siva was then tested for the eighth grade,but it was soon found out that he was actually qualified for college courses.As one advanced course was not enough,the brilliant boy is now taking two courses from Stanford University.Due to the treatment he received,Siva's physical condition has improved as well.
But none of this"just happened".It was his parents'understanding and correct guidance,and the loving care of his grandparents that contributed to the growth of the genius.Siva's highly educated and hardworking family has brought him up on the basis of certain principles.
The family believes that once a strong foundation is built for the child in English and mathematics,the child is equipped to master any other subject,law,history,or engineering.It is equally important to recognize the strengths of a child rather than forcing the child to do things that he may not want to do.
Siva's parents helped.Siva focus his energies on his strength,which is mathematics.At the same time they took care to see that he had friends to play with and enjoyed a few recreational activities.The only activity that's restricted for Siva is viewing television.Siva watches TV only for 30 minutes a day and video games are a bonus for special occasions.
Thanks to his mother who is a singer,Siva has also learned music and even won the first and second prize at two competitions.In sports,he likes to swim.He began to learn swimming to strengthen his muscles,and by the age of eight he was able to swim a kilometer in both the backstroke and the freestyle.

56.Why did Siva's parents move to the USA?B
A.They wanted to give their son the best education.
B.They wanted their son to receive the best treatment.
C.They weren't used to life in India or Australia.
D.They wanted their son to go to Stanford University.
57.The underlined word "this" in the fourth paragraph refers to the fact thatD.
A.Siva's parents enrolled him in the second grade
B.Siva's physical condition improved
C.Siva was tested for the eighth grade
D.Siva became a genius despite his disability
58.The family believes thatB.
A.English and mathematics are easier to learn than other subjects
B.it is important to recognize the strengths of a child
C.a(chǎn) child must learn English rather than law or history
D.forcing a child to do things is also quite important
59.What can we learn about Siva?A
A.He is really good at mathematics.
B.He has no friends to play with.
C.He is not allowed to play video games.
D.He learned swimming from his mother.
60.The text is mainly aboutA.
A.the growth of a disabled child prodigy   
B.certain principles to bring up a child
C.the special ways to train a genius       
D.the influence of parents on their child.
