14．World Book Day falls on April 23 every year．It was set up by the United Nations Educational，Scientific，and Cultural Organization（UNESCO） in 1995 to encourage people，especially teenagers，to discover the pleasure of reading．It is also the day to honor great writers，for example，William Shakespeare，born or dead on that day．
Many countries celebrate World Book Day．Take UK as an example．On that day，millions of school children can buy books of special price，a much lower price than usual，in any bookstore．It has been done every year since 1998．World Book Day is also celebrated in China．Our Former Premier Wen Jiabao，a bookworm，who does lots of reading every day，has called on people to do more reading．He suggested that young people should spend more time reading．"Books cannot change the world，but people can change the world by changing themselves through reading，"he said．
Why do people like reading？One big advantage is that reading helps us become more knowledgeable and more intelligent．Also，reading helps us to follow the latest developments of science and technology．Besides，reading gives us information about other cultures and places of the world．When we read，we may find many things that are unfamiliar to us．We would have to use our brain to think about them or do more reading to find out the answers．The more we read，the more we know．What's more，reading is also one of the most important ways to learn a foreign language like English．
"Reading makes a full man"（Bacon，1597）．Books，magazines，newspapers and other kinds of materials can help us to know more about the outside world and perfect us．So it is necessary for us to spend time on reading every day．

A．buy more books

3．My daughter Kelly is a cautious person．She needs to warm up to situations，is hesitant to try new things．When with close friends，she becomes a leader who laughs loudly and chants，"Girls rule，boys drool．"But when that comfort zone is not around her，she is shy and nervous．
This has been challenging for me at times．"Shy"is not a word that I think has ever been used to describe me．But this has been a year of firsts for my girl that has filled her with a new sense of confidence．This year she moved to lap lane in swimming where she was preparing for a swim team．This year she learned to ride a bike without training wheels．And this year she completed her first kids'triathlon （三項全能）．
On Saturday，with a thunderstorm coming soon and my son's birthday party later in the day，we all went out in the dark of the morning for Kelly to participate in her first triathlon．We practiced transitions from swim to bike to run with her，we got all the equipment she'd need，and we kept talking about the race．But as we waited the two hours for the older kids to finish before her turn，she held my leg a little harder and told me she loved me a few too many times．She was nervous but trying to keep it together．
And then it was her turn．From the second she jumped into the water，my heart soared（快速上升）．My daughter transformed into the most confident human being I had ever seen．She dominated that swim，crushed that bike ride and ran to the finish with the biggest smile on her face．
I can honestly say that I never felt so proud of someone in my entire life．It wasn't because she did a sport or anything like that．It was because she was afraid of something and conquered that fear with confidence and a fire I hadn't seen before．
All day I would find myself just looking over at her and smiling．She might be wearing the finalist medal but I felt like I won that day．I won the chance to see my girl shine．
Shine on，sweet baby．

24．Kelly is nervous whenD．

2．Spring is coming，and it is time for those about to graduate to look for jobs．Competition is tough，so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices．Whatever we are wearing，our family and friends may accept us，but the workplace may not．
A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos （紋身）nose rings，or certain dress styles．It is true you can't judge a book by its cover，yet people do"cover"themselves in order to convey certain messages．What we wear，including tattoos and nose rings，is an expression of who we are．Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances?so do companies．Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons，but the main concern is often about what customers accept．
Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom，but for businesses it is more about whether to make or lose money．Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees （雇員），because those people represent the companies to their customers．
As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers．There are plenty of well-qualified candidates，so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers．Even though I am open-minded，I can't expect all our customers are．
There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred employer．No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply cause he or she is unwilling to respect its standards，as long as its standards are legal．

32．Which of the following is the newspaper editor'opinion according to Paragraph 2？C
A．People's appearances carry messages about themselves．
B．Customers'choices influence dress standards in companies．
C．Candidates with tattoos or nose rings should be fairly treated．
D．Strange dress styles should not be encouraged in the workplace．
33．What can be inferred from the text？B
A．Candidates have to wear what companies prefer for an interview．
B．What to wear is not a matter of personal choice for companies．
C．Companies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates．
D．Hiring managers make the best impression on their candidates．
34．Which of the following would be the best title for the text？C
A．Employees Matter
B．Personal Choices Matter
C．Appearances Matter
D．Hiring Managers Matter
35．The author's attitude towards strange dress styles in the workplace may best be described as．B
A．enthusiastic
B．negative
C positive
D．sympathetic．

9．Adults are happy to tell their children that crusts （面包皮） will give them curly hair，carrots will help them see in the dark，and spinach will make them strong．Even though adults know it's not totally true，they think it's good for their children's health，a study had found．
In a study about 31 percent of adults said they once told their children the curly hair tale，and 36 percent said they'd been told the same thing by their mother or father．Among the over-50s，almost half said they'd been promised curly hair if they ate their crusts．A quarter of the 2，000 adults questioned in the study told their children carrots would help them see in the dark．This could be true to some extent because of the high levels of vitamin A and beta-carotene in root vegetables．
Another favorite among parents is that milk will make one strong．A third surveyed said their parents told them this，and about 29 percent said they told their children the same thing．But while there is plenty of evidence to suggest milk is good for people's health，there are also a lot of scientific papers saying it isn't．
Thanks to Popeye，spinach is also fed to children，along with the idea that it will make them strong．While there is also some truth in this one，scientists now believe it is not the iron，but the inorganic nitrates （無機硝酸鹽） that improve physical power．
One in seven of the surveyed admitted telling their little ones that runner beans will make them run faster，which is nothing more than wordplay and has no basis in science．Almost one in five adults were subjected to the same tale in childhood．
Just over one in 10 parents told their children green food would turn them into a superhero，and a quarter admitted hiding vegetables in meals．
Lyndsay Jones，spokesman for Persil Washing Up Liquid，said，"It's clear that the most persuasive stories about food are passed on from generation to generation．Our research shows that the ideas continue，and we tell our kids the same things our parents told us，even if they're not always entirely true．"
Crusts may not make your hair curly，but there's plenty of research that says crusts contain more of the goodness than the rest of a loaf．Hopefully，as a result of our Cook with Kids promise，more parents will be encouraged to spend time with their children in the kitchen and teach them the truth about food．

32．We can know from Paragraph 3 thatC．
A．milk is beneficial to children's physical strength
B．a(chǎn) third people are forced to drink milk by their parents
C．there is doubt whether milk is helpful to people's health 
D．a(chǎn)bout 29 percent people wish their children good health
33．Which of the following does Lyndsay Jones agree？D
A．Most persuasive stories about food are false．
B．Adults are willing to teach their children as their parents did．
C．Stories about food shouldn't be passed on from generation to generation．
D．Parents can't make sure if some stories about food are totally true．
34．We can learn from the passage thatB．
A．parents are expected to tell children the truth about food
B．scientists think the iron in spinach helps children grow strong
C．runner beans can really make children run fast
D．crusts are said to contain less nutrition than a loaf
35．How is the passage mainly developed？C
A．By making comparisons．
B．By following time order                                   
C．By giving examples．
D．By analyzing causes．

6．For many parents，raising a teenager is like fighting a long war，but years go by without any clear winner．Like a border conflict between neighboring countries，the parent-teen war is about boundaries：Where is the line between what I control and what you do？
Both sides want peace，but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict．In part，this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it．From the parents'point of view，the only cause of their fight is their adolescents'complete unreasonableness．And of course，the teens see it in exactly the same way，except oppositely． Both feel trapped．
In this article，I'll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap．The first no-win situation is quarrel on unimportant things．Examples include the color of the teen's hair，the cleanness of the bedroom，the preferred style of clothing，the child's failure to eat a good breakfast before school，or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends．Second，blaming．The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong．Third，needing to be right．It doesn't matter what the topic is-politics，the laws of physics，or the proper way to break an egg-the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong，for both wish to be considered an authority-someone who actually knows something-and therefore to command respect．Unfortunately，as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other，they'll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress．

24．Why does the author compare the parent-teen war to a border conflict？D
A．Both can continue for generations．
B．Neither can be put to an end．
C．Neither has any clear winner．
D．Both are about where to draw the line．
25．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean？B
A．The teens accuse their parents of misleading them．
B．The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict．
C．The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict．
D．The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents．
26．Parents and teens want to be right because they want toB．
A．give orders to the other          B．gain respect from the other
C．know more than the other        D．get the other to behave properly
27．What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows？D
A．Causes for the parent-teen conflicts
B．Examples of the parent-teen war
C．Future of the parent-teen relationship
D．Solutions for the parent-teen problems．
