Life is filled with challenges. As we get older we 36 realize that those challenges are the very things that 37 us and make us who we are. It is the same with the challenges that come with 38 .
When we are faced with a challenge, we usually have two 39 . We can try to beat it off, or we can decide that the thing 40 the challenge isn't worth the 41 and call it quits. Although there are certainly 42 when calling it quits is the right thing to do, in most 43 all that is needed is 44 and communication.
When we are committed to something, it means that no matter how 45 or how uncomfortable something is, we will always choose to 46 it and work it through instead of running away from it. Communication is making a 47 for discussion and talking about how you feel as opposed to just saying what the other person did wrong. 48 you can say to a friend, "I got my feelings hurt," 49 "You hurt my feelings," you are going to be able to solve the problem much faster.
In dealing with many challenges that friendship will bring to you, try to see them for 50 they are: small hurdles you need to jump or 51 on your way through life. Nothing is so big that it is 52 to get over, and hurt only 53 to make us stronger.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
He was the baby with no name. Found and taken from the north Atlantic 6 days after the sinking of the Titanic in 1912, his tiny body so moved the salvage (救援) workers that they called him "our baby." In their home port of Halifax, Nova Scotia, people collected money for a headstone in front of the baby's grave (墓), carved with the words: "To the memory of an unknown child." He has rested there ever since.
But history has a way of uncovering its secrets. On Nov. 5, this year, three members of a family from Finland arrived at Halifax and laid fresh flowers at the grave. "This is our baby," says Magda Schleifer, 68, a banker. She grew up hearing stories about a great-aunt named Maria Panula,42, who had sailed on the Titanic for America to be reunited with her husband. According to the information Mrs. Schleifer had gathered, Panula gave up her seat on a lifeboat to search for her five children -- including a 13-month-old boy named Eino from whom she had become separated during the final minutes of the crossing. "We thought they were all lost in the sea," says Schleifer.
Now, using teeth and bone pieces taken from the baby's grave, scientists have compared the DNA from the Unknown Child with those collected from members of five families who lost relatives on the Titanic and never recovered the bodies. The result of the test points only to one possible person: young Eino. Now, the family sees: no need for a new grave. "He belongs to the people of Halifax," says Schleifer. "They've taken care of him for 90 years."
Adapted from People, November 25, 2002

Super smart chimps
In a memory-based competition between you and a chimp, who do you think would win? If you put yourself on top, you might want to guess again.
In a test that challenged participants to remember numbers, a young chimp performed better than Japanese college students.
Here's how the test worked: at Kyoto university in Japan, human students and chimpanzee participants sat in front of a computer. Different combinations of five numbers, all ranging from 1 to 9, appeared at random places on the screen.
The numbers stayed on the screen for less than a second. In the first test, for example, participants saw the numbers for 650 milliseconds (about two- thirds of a second)Then each number was replaced by a white square. Participants had to touch the squares in numerical order, based on the numbers that had been there a moment before.
In this test, the students touched the boxes in the correct order about 80%of the time. A young chimp named Ayumu performed equally well.
During a harder test, participants were only able to see the numbers for 210 milliseconds.
This time, students only managed to put the boxes in the correct order about 40% of the time. But Ayumu still managed to select the boxes in the right order nearly 80% of the time.
Some people have what's called a "photographic memory", which allows them to remember a surprising number of details after just a quick glimpse of something. Ayumu's memory might work in a similar way, says lead researcher Tetsuro Matsuzawa. The chimp's young age might have something to do with his impressive performance, too. In previous tests, the Japanese researchers found that young chimps performed better than their mothers.
The scientists are interested to know whether Ayumu loses his strong memory as he ages. They already know that young children sometimes have sharp memories that work photographically, but they typically lose this ability over time.
59. Researchers carried out the test to find out_____.
A. who has a better memory, human or chimps
B. whether young chimps have a better memory than the older ones
C. what makes chimps better at remembering numbers
D. how humans can remember numbers when they only see them briefly
60. The underlined word "random"in paragraph 3 means _____.
A.in order B.without aim C.automatically D.purposefully
61. How was the test carried out?
a. The numbers stayed on the screen for less than a second.
b. The winner was the participant who finished the tasked with higher rate of
correct answers.
c. Each number was replaced by a white square.
d. Different combinations of five numbers, all ranging from 1 to 9, appeared at
random places on the screen.
e. Participants had to touch the squares in numerical order.
A. acdeb B. bcdea C. adceb D.daceb
62. Researchers are not certain whether ______.
A. humans lose their strong memory as they age
B. chimps lose their strong memory as they age
C. young chimps can remember numbers in less time than their mums
D. kids can remember numbers in less time than their mums

A gentle breeze blew through Jennifer's hair. The golden red sun was setting. She was on the beach, looking up at the fiery (火红的) ball. She was amazed by its color, deep red in the middle, softly fading into yellow. She could hear nothing but the waves and the seagulls flying up above in the sky.
The atmosphere relaxed her. After all she had been through, this was what she needed. "It's getting late," she thought, "I must go home. My parents will be wondering where I am."
She wondered how her parents would react, when she got home after the three days she was missing. She kept on walking, directing herself where she spent every summer holiday. The road was deserted. She walked slowly and silently. Just in a few hundred meters she would have been safe in her house.
It was really getting dark now. The sun had set a few minutes before and it was getting cold, too. She wished she had her favorite sweater on— it kept her really warm. She imagined having it with her. This thought disappeared when she finally saw her front door. It seemed different. Nobody had taken care of the outside garden for a few days. She was shocked: her father was usually so strict about keeping everything clean and tidy, and now... It all seemed deserted. She couldn't understand what was going on.
She entered the house. First, she went into the kitchen where she saw a note written by her father. It said, "Dear Ellen, there is some coffee ready. I went looking." Ellen was her mother but — where was she? On the right side of the hallway was her parents' room. She went in. Then she saw her. Her mother, lying on the bed, was sleeping. Her face looked so tired, as if she hadn't slept for days. She was really pale. Jennifer would have wanted to wake her up but she looked too tired. So Jennifer just fell asleep beside her. When Jennifer woke up, something was different... she wasn't in her mother's room and she wasn't wearing the old clothes she ran away in. She was in her snug bed in her pajamas (睡衣).
It felt so good being back home. Suddenly she heard a voice, "Are you feeling better now, dear? You know you got us very, very scared."
67. What does "This thought" in the fourth paragraph refer to?
A. The idea of going back home.
B. Her anxiety about her parents.
C. The feeling of being warm in her favorite sweater.
D. The feeling of getting back home safely.
68. Her father didn't take care of the garden because _______.
A. he was busy looking for her B. he had to look after his wife
C. he was not strict in his job D. he no longer enjoyed working there
69. How did Jennifer probably feel when she came back home?
a. worried b. crazy c. tired d. disappointed e. shocked f. excited
A. a, b, c B. a, c, e C. b, c, e D. d, e, f
70. What can we conclude from this passage?
A. In fact Jennifer's mother had been sick for days.
B. As Jennifer walked towards home, she became increasingly scared.
C. When she found the garden deserted, she realized she got cross.
D. Having experienced a lot outside, Jennifer felt home was really warm and safe
for her.

第四部分 任务型阅读（共10小题）
请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。
注意：每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。
Is there a "success personality"—some winning combination of qualities that leads almost inevitably(必然地) to achievement? If so, exactly what is that secret success formula(公式), and can anyone develop it?
At the Gallop Organization we recently focused in depth on success, inquiring into the attitudes of 1500 distinguished people selected at random from Who's Who in America. Our research finds out a number of qualities that occur regularly among top achievers. Here is one of the most important, that is common sense.
Common sense is the most widely possessed quality of the people surveyed. Seventy-nine percent award themselves a top score in this quality. And 61 percent say that common sense is very important in contributing to their success.
To most, common sense means the ability to present sound, practical judgments on everyday affairs. To do this, one has to remove extra ideas and get right to the key points of what matters. A Texas oil and gas businessman puts it this way: "The key ability for success is simplifying. In conduction of meeting and dealing with industry reducing a complex problem to the simplest term is highly important."
Is common sense a quality a person is born with, or can you do something to increase it? The oil man's answer is that common sense can definitely be developed. He owes his to learning how to debate in school. Another way to increase your store of common sense is to observe it in others, learning from their—and your own—mistakes.
Besides common sense, there are many other factors that influence success: knowing your field, self-reliance, intelligence, the ability to get things done, leadership, creativity, relationships with others, and of course, luck. But common sense stands out. If you develop these qualities, you'll succeed. And you might even find yourself listed in Who's Who someday.
| Secrets to success |
| Finding of the (71)________ | Top achievers have some common (72)______, one of which is common sense. |
| The most important quality | 79 percent of the people surveyed (73)______ highly of common sense. And 61 percent say it plays an important role in their success. |
| Understanding of common sense | To most, it means one is able to(74) ________ daily affairs reasonably by (75)________ on what really counts. |
| (76)________ to get common sense | (77)________ it through activities like learning how to debate in school. Increasing it through (78)________ by observing others. |
| Other factors leading to success | (79)_______ from common sense, many other factors contribute to success, luck (80)________. But common sense is the most outstanding. |
