（A）
If you feel at present that you don't have enough friends in your life， one reason may be that you have let yourself become too busy to make time for the relationships you already have。 Starting and keeping friendship require effort and commitment(责任，义务，承诺)。
Many of us let our lives become so busy with work and other commitments that we don’t get around to scheduling time for pleasure and renewal (叙旧) with the friends， relatives and acquaintances we already have。
Making the effort to call your friends more regularly and to accept more of the invitations you receive from others can improve your
。。
学必求其心得，业必贵于专精
social life in a hurry!
Are there any people you could call right now and be assured of a pleasant welcome？ Are there people that you could depend on to help you in time of difficulty？ Can you have close talks with them？ Do you have fun when you are together? Are you happy to have them in your life？
If you haven’t seen much of them lately, is it because you have become too busy？ Have you grown apart？ Was there an argument?
If the main reason you haven’t been getting together with the people you already know is that you have gotten too busy， take a good look at how you spend your time. Compare it with your real values and priorities(优先考虑的事) in life. Is your busy lifestyle really bringing you the quality of life that you want？
If you have become too busy for friends， why has this happened？ Are you seeking material joys in your life at the expense of relationships with other human beings? Have you allowed your time to be over—committed because you never say ‘‘No” to anyone？ Do you insist on doing things yourself that could be delegated to others？ If so， why？ Do you believe that everything depends on you？
Examine whether the way you are now spending your time exactly reflects your deepest values and priorities。 Make sure that you schedule enough time for the things that are truly most important to you。
If you really want to keep friends in your life, make a space in
学必求其心得，业必贵于专精
your schedule， and a space in your heart for them。 56. In this passage the author mainly discusses ______。
A。 how to balance friendship and work B。 how to spend our
spare time
C. whether we should keep friendship D. whether we should
invite friends to dinner
57. What does the underlined word “delegated” probably mean？ A. appointed (分派） B. replaced C。 reduced D. handled 58. The reason why you have become too busy for friends may be the
following except that ______。
A. you spend too much time seeking material joys in your life B. you feel it difficult to keep friendship C. you stick to doing everything all by yourself D. you never refuse whatever other people ask you to do 59。 Which would be the best title for the text?
A. Too busy for Friendship? B. Too busy with work？ C. How to Spend Your Time D. How to Make New Friends
（B)
Throughout history， people have been interested in knowing how language first began， but no one knows exactly where or how this happened. However， we do know a lot about languages， the languages of today and also the languages of earlier times. There are probably about three thousand languages in the world today。 Chinese is the language with
学必求其心得，业必贵于专精
the most speakers。 English, Russian and Spanish are also spoken by many millions of people。 On the other hand, some languages in the world have less than one hundred speakers。
There are several important families of languages in the world. For example, most of the languages of Europe are in one large family called Indo-European. The original (最初的) language of this family was spoken about 4,500 years ago。 Many of the present day languages of Europe and India are modern forms of the language of 4，500 years ago.
Languages are always changing. The English of today is very different from the English of 500 years ago. In time some even die out completely。 About 1，000 years ago English was a little -known relative of German spoken on one of the borders（边界)of Europe。
If a language has a lot of speakers or if it is very old, there may be differences in the way it is spoken in different areas. That is, the language may have several dialects。 Chinese is a good example of dialect differences. Chinese has been spoken for thousands of years by many millions of speakers. The differences between the dialects of Chinese are so great that speakers of Chinese from some parts of China cannot understand speakers from other parts。
60. The first paragraph mainly tells us that_______. A. most people in the world speak Chinese
B. there are thousands of languages in the world today C. man has much knowledge about languages
学必求其心得，业必贵于专精
D. some people know several languages
61. Many European and Indian languages ______。
A. will soon die out completely B。 were once a relative of English
C。 are the same as before D. come from the same family 62. _____ seems to have changed a lot
A. Chinese B. English C。 Spanish D。 German
63。 The best title of this passage is_________. .
A。 English B. Changes of English C。 Chinese D. Knowledge of Language
（C)
What’s the most important thing for you to have in your life? Someboy mentions hard—work, others suggest knowledge， love and luck。
If you arrange the 26 English letters alphabetically(按字母表的顺序）and use numbers to represent each
of them， for example， 1 for a, 2 for b， 3 for c…, you can change an English
word
into
a
number.
So
hard—work
becomes
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11=98， meaning 98 is its mark； knowledge： 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5=96, while love :12+15+22+5=54, and luck : 12+21+3+11=47, a small mark。 None of these words can give one a full mark。 What about money or prayer(祈祷）？ They can’t ，
学必求其心得，业必贵于专精
either.
Then what else? Don't be worried。 You can always find an answer to a problem in your life， when you
change your way of looking at things or doing things， or your attitude（态度)。Yes, attitude is the word。 See for yourself： attitude:1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5=100，a full mark。
Different attitudes lead to different courses of life。 Most times people hope for a better life。 It is possible
that one will have a change for the betterr after one has changed one's attitude.
When you change your manner and became friendly towards others, you’ll meet more smiling faces towards you.In the same way， if you take a positive(积极地)attitude towards failure（失败）,you’ll find it’s also rewarding though it has caused you losses.
64.In the writer’s opinion , what is the most important things in a person’s life？
A。Hard—work. B.Knowledge。 C。Money. D。Attitude。 65.According to the passage, if you meet with problems, the best way out is to _________.
A. ask for help from others B.say your prayers to God C。change your attitude D.try maths—solving methods
66.From the passage we can learn that ______________.
学必求其心得，业必贵于专精
A。diffrent attitudes come from different courses of life. B.mathematics can solve every problem easily in our daily life
C.failure sometimes can bring you good if you take a positive attitude D。none of the English words except “attitude” equals to 100 or more
（D)
A good brand agency (代理) can create for you a brand identity （身份） of your products. Having the best agency to help with your business， no matter how small, can be one of the biggest steps you can take in letting the world know and get familiar with your products and brands。
Brand agencies work hand in hand with the company in advertising the brand and its products. The company has to tell the agency how they would like the public to see their products. The agency then talks with the company about the progress of the brand in the market。
Working with brand agencies is a two—way street。 When the company is happy and satisfied with how the agency has advertised the brand， the trust the company has in the agency grows。 Similarly, when the agency does well in its work, the company’s brand and products get good ideas from buyers and the market。
Regarding the identity of the brand, agencies can help a lot in this aspect. For a brand to have a lasting influence on the buyers, an identity of the brand needs to be formed. If the brand is good, then buyers will feel at ease （轻松自在) buying the products of this brand.

Oh， the things that I should see if I had the power of sight for just three days！
The first day would be a busy one。 I should call to me all my dear friends and look long into their faces, imprinting(铭记） upon my mind the outward evidences of the beauty that is within them, I should let my eyes rest, too， on the face of a baby， so that I could catch a vision of the
。
学必求其心得，业必贵于专精
eager, innocent beauty which precedes the individual’s consciousness of the conflicts which life develops。
And I should like to look into the loyal， trusting eyes of my dogs——the serious， clever little Scottie, Darkie, and the strong, understanding Great Dane, Helga， whose warm, tender， and playful friendships are so comforting to me.
On that busy first day I should also view the small simple things of my home. I want to see the warm colors in the carpets under my feet， the pictures on the walls, the lovely small furniture that transforms a house into home。 My eyes would rest respectfully on the books in dot-raised type which I have read, but they would be more eagerly interested in the printed books which seeing people can read, for during the long night of my life the books I have read and those which have been read to me have built themselves into a great shining lighthouse, showing me the deepest channels of human life and the human spirit.
In the afternoon of that first seeing day， I should take a long walk in the woods and intoxicate （使陶醉） my eyes on the beauties of the world of Nature trying desperately to absorb in a few hours the vast brilliance which is presenting itself to those who can see. On the way home from my woodland trip， my path would lie close to a farm so that I might see the patient horses ploughing in the field and the peaceful content of men living close to the soil. And I should pray for the glory of a colorful sunset.
When dusk had fallen, I should experience the double delight of
学必求其心得，业必贵于专精
being able to see by artificial light which the genius of man has created to extend the power of his sight when Nature brings darkness.
In the night of that first day of sight, I should not be able to sleep, so full would be my mind of the memories of the day!
