Bruce is said to have gained 34 from this sight and to have gone on to defeat the enemies. Edison, too, the inventor of the light bulb, had failed hundreds of times 35 he succeeded.
So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it? Were the conditions right? 36 can you change so that things will go right the next time?
Second, is the 37 you're trying to reach the right one? Think about this question: " 38 I do succeed in this, where will it get me?" This may help 39 failure.

"Love" is a word so often used and misused. We can always say "I love you" to anyone and everyone without really 41 the true meaning of love. When we are young, love is associated 42 that special person—the one who makes our heart 43 so fast whenever he is around. As we become adults, love is our family. The true meaning of love is found in the word "unconditional". You love a person despite the flaws and 44 . To love someone unconditionally is 45 the person exactly as he is, what he was before and what he will become.

Ⅲ.Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: There are three passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best ONE and mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.
A sunflower is a sunflower. A mobile phone is a mobile phone. But can you combine the two to do something for your local environment?
It may well be possible. When you have finished with your mobile phone you can bury it in the garden or a plant pot and wait for it to flower.
Recently, a biodegradable (生物可降解的) mobile phone was introduced by scientists. It is hoped that the new type of phone will raise consumers' recycling awareness (意识).
Scientists have developed a new material in the past five years. It looks like any other plastic and can be hard or soft, and is able to change shape. It can also break down into the soil without giving off any poisonous chemicals. British researchers have used the new material to develop a phone cover that contains a sunflower seed. When this new type of cover turns into waste,it forms something that feeds the seed and helps the flower grow.
Engineers have designed a small transparent (透明度) window to hold the seed. They have made sure it only grows when the phone is thrown away.
"We've only put sunflower seeds into the covers so far. But we are working with plant experts to find out which flowers would perform best. Maybe we could put roses in next time." said one scientist.
51、What is the main advantage of the newtype of phone? ______
A．Recyclable. B．Fast-growing. C．Mobile. D．Transparent.
52、Which of the following is NOT true about the new material? ______
A．It can be hard or soft. B．It looks like any other plastic.
C．It can break down into the soil. D．It gives off poisonous chemicals.
53、There is a ______ in the mobile phone to keep the seed.
A．pot B．window C．rose D．sunflower
54、Which kind of flowers would perform best in the mobile phone? ______
A．Roses.
B．Sunflowers.
C．Both roses and sunflowers.
D．It is still unknown to scientists and plant experts.
55、What is the author's attitude towards the new type of mobile phone? ______
A．Positive. B．Negative. C．Neutral. D．Critical.
There are several ways to find out about the places you wish to visit. You can talk to friends who have traveled to the places, or you can read travel books.
It seems that there are three kinds of travel books. The first kind is the books that give a personal, subjective account of travels which the author has actually made himself. If they are informative and have a good index, then they can be useful when you are planning your travels. The second is the books which give a purely objective description of things to be done and seen. They can be classified as selective guide books. If a well-read, cultured person has written such a book, then the book is even more useful. The third is the books which are called "a guide" to some place. They can help readers in the most practical way. If they are good, they will, in addition to their factual information, give an analysis or an interpretation. Like the first kind, they can be inspiring and entertaining.
Whichever kind of travel book you choose, you must make sure that it does not describe everything as "marvelous", "fabulous" or "magical". You must also note its date of publication because travel is a very practical affair and many things change quickly in the 21st century. Finally, you should make sure that the contents are well presented and easy to check.
56、The best title of the passage is ______.
A．Writing Travel Books B．Marvelous Travel Books
C．Three Kinds of Travel Books D．Asking Your Friends for Travel Books
57、The travel books describing the authors' own traveling experiences are often ______.
A．objective B．subjective C．magical D．entertaining
58、The travel books which give an objective description belong to ______ guide books.
A．inspiring B．personal C．selective D．fabulous
59、A good "guide" to a city gives not only ______ but also an analysis or an interpretation.
A．factual information B．useful ways
C．a personal account D．a good index
60、One must pay attention to the date of publication of a travel book because ______.
A．things change quickly nowadays
B．reading travel books is a practical affair
C．his friends would have traveled to these places
D．travel books are written by well-read, cultured writers
Sometimes people call each other "scared-cat", but have you ever thought about this expression? When a cat is frightened, its heart starts beating faster, its muscles get tense, and there are changes in the chemicals in its bloodstream.
Although the cat doesn't realize this, its body is getting ready for action. If the danger continues, the cat will do one of the two things: it will defend itself, or it will run away as fast as it can.
Similarly, when we are nervous, angry or scared, our bodies also go through many physical changes. Our hearts beat faster, and our muscles get tense. All of these changes make us more alert and ready to react. We, too, get ready to defend ourselves or ran away.
Human beings, however, have a problem that animals never face. If we give way to our feelings, we may get into trouble. Have you ever said something in anger or hit somebody and regretted it later? Have you ever told someone you were lonely, or said you were in love, and then wished you had kept your mouth shut? It isn't always wise to express your feelings freely.
Does this mean that it's smarter always to hide our feelings? No! If you keep feelings of anger, sadness and bitterness inside, your body will stay tense. Physical illness can develop. It can actually be harmful to your health.
Feelings that you keep all bottled up inside don't just go away. Imagine that you bought some bananas and put them in a cupboard. You might not be able to see them, but before long you'd smell them. And if you opened the cupboard, you'd find fruit flies (果蝇) circling over them. They'd be rotten (腐烂的).
You can try to treat emotions as if they were bananas in the cupboard. You can pretend they don't exist, but they'll still be around. And at last you'll have to deal with them, just like those bananas.
61、The word "scared" in "scared-cat" (Para. 1) could be replaced by "______".
A．alert B．tense C．excited D．frightened
62、When we are nervous, angry or scared, our bodies go through ______ physical changes as cats do.
A．faster B．slower C．similar D．different
63、We may get into trouble if we always ______.
A．deal with emotions B．express our feelings freely
C．put bananas in the cupboard D．defend ourselves and run away
64、It is bad for your physical fitness if ______.
A．you are ready to react B．you keep your mouth shut
C．you tell others you are lonely D．you keep all your passive feelings inside
65、The author gives the example of rotten bananas in order to show that hidden negative feelings ______.
A．can go away B．can't go away
C．can be dealt with D．can't be dealt with

A week ago, "Sports for Life" program was sent to the parents, requiring them to select a sport they want their children to play. Since then, our staff have received lots of calls from parents asking for more information about it. Here is a memo for your reference when you answer the phones.
Sports 1: Basketball
We expect that this will be the most popular of the four sports. Therefore, students should be advised to sign up as soon as possible. Students will take a private bus to and from Kwun Tong Sports Park. To cover the cost of hiring a bus, each student will have to pay $10 each time. There will be four basketball courts available for our use with one teacher watching over each game.

Students must bring along two bottles of water in case of thirst. Three activities, skipping, jogging, outdoor aerobics (有氧运动), all of which are free of charge, will be arranged. And there will be a teacher on duty for each of the activities.
Sports 3: Hiking
Hiking will take place at Kowloon Peak. The activity will start at 2:30 pm and finish 90 minutes later. Three teachers will accompany the students, and a hiking instructor will accompany each group of 10 hikers. The fee for each instructor is $110 per hour.
Sports 4: Swimming
The Kowloon City Aquatic Centre is a 10-minute walk from our school. Four teachers will go to the pool and supervise from the poolside. We will only be able to reserve the pool for one hour (2:45 pm to 3:45 pm). Only students skillful at swimming can take part in this activity. The pool will have two lifeguards present. Every student must wear a swimming suit. The cost is $10 per visit.
