Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.There are many proverbs about friends and friendship, such as “True friend­

ship is like sound health; the value o f its seldom known until it is lost” , and “Areal friend is som eone who walks in when the rest o f the world walks out". Whenyou read these quotes, stop and think about your friendship. Do you and yourfriends act in a caring way towards one another, do you respect them and do theyrespect you, but most o f all do you value the relationship and love spending time together? Friendship is more than just hanging out together at lunch and gossip­ing about other people. True friendship is when two people have mutual respect for one another, and really care about the each other’s feelings and dreams. You need to be able to be honest with your friends. If there is ever a time where you feel that you cannot tell them the truth, for fear that they will be mad or will not understand, then they are not true friends. Friends share with each other impor­tant things that they would not share with others. Friends also care about each other, stick up for one another and enjoy spending time together.36.

DRead the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.

Friendship is a big statement. Lots o f people are lovers but are not friends. Lots o f people are relatives and are not friends. Lots o f people who work together are not friends. You can appreciate or admire someone, but that does not mean that you make him or her a friend.

W hen I had my near-death illness last year and the follow ing long recu­peration, I had a lot o f time to think about what makes someone a friend. If they are scared o f you when you need help, sorry, that is not friendship. I f their attitude is “for better or w orse,” i f they stick to you through troubles and difficulties, it is the time when you can tell it is true friendship. I do have some friends, but not as many as I thought. And there was a time, in the late 80swhen my friend, Ken, really needed me but I did not come through for him. Iremember hanging out in my happy suburban house in M enlo Park, and not coming to help him through the loss o f his wife. Luckily, I got to apologize for that but Ken said he did not mind.

I do not have a tidy answer about Ken and me and friendship. Sometimes we were friends, and other times, clearly, not. But I guess there is som ething remarkable in two people overcom ing the barriers to friendship to find some real communication at some point.36. According to the w r ite r______ .

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.A friend is often considered as an ally, supporter, or sympathizer. There is

no distance too far between friends, for friendship gives wings to the heart. Friendship multiplies joys and divides grieves. Friendship is a feeling or em o­tion expressed in such a way that a human feels wanted and important. It is a relationship between a person or persons where everyone has some companion to talk to when they are in need. Friends are defined as people whom you can have several types o f relations with and feel several em otions for. A good friend is someone that m ight go to in time o f need. However, friendships differ between people. For example, the friendship that someone may have between him and an old man would be different than the friendship they m ight have with som eone at the sam e age. There are many different friendships that people have. Friendships can exist between best friends, friends, lovers, ch il­dren, parents, siblings, and many more. All of these differ in some way. Every­one has a best friend, whether it is with a person or an animal. Sometimes people who are lonely find that they have a com panionship with their dog or cat. But, mostly when teenagers are the ones being discussed then they usually have more than one person they can go and talk to. To sum up, a best friend is thought o f as a person whom you tell everything to.36. There must be a distance between friends.

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.It’s been over two years now, but I still rem em ber every detail o f that day.

It was a beautiful warm sunny clear sky day. I had to go to work and then had class at Hunter College that night. Little did I know what would await me that morning. W hen I got o ff m y car, I found that the building was being evacuated and no one could tell me why. I could not find anyone that I worked with. There were hundreds o f people just gathering around. No one knew exactly what had happened. Then someone said that there was a tim ing bomb in the building and the police were trying to dispose it. I thought that I should have turned around and tried to go hom e but a police officer forced us to keep our place. They were looking for the terrorists. Suddenly the building exploded in a burst o f white clouds o f b illow ing smoke and slowly started to collapsed downwards. The same officer who had directed us to stand there now shouted, “run” and we did. But not fast or far enough. We all were caught in the debris fallout. M ost of us made it out, some did not. The world went totally black and soundless, I never heard the building fall, I could not see, nor hear, nor feel, just smell and taste were left.

I was contem plating join ing a local professional association and decided it would be a good idea to attend their free introductory meeting. So I planned to go after work, meet the officers and introduce m yself to a few members.

On the evening the meeting was scheduled, I happened to have had a very long day at work. I had not had a chance to eat lunch and could feel my blood sugar dropping. Since this makes me light-headed and a bit grumpy, I decided I had better stop at home and get a quick snack to hold me over, before I went to this meeting. After all, you never get a second chance to make a first impression, right?

That night, traffic was backed up, and it took me longer than usual to get home. I decided that all I had time to do was to run into the house, get tw: apples, a few crackers and a bottle o f water and then hurry on to this meetir.r I put them all into in my large purse, and ran back outside to get in the car

Fortunately, the traffic had cleared up. I sped up downtown and made it to the meeting on time, without eating anything. “Great” I thought, “Everything is

going perfectly”. I went inside and all the newcomers were invited to sit at a round table and introduce themselves before the meeting started. It was very crowded, and I did not really have room to put my purse on the floor or on my chair, so I put it on the table in front o f me and settled down to listen to the speaker.

After the meeting, I did what I had intended to do. I introduced m yself to the officers o f this club and met a few other members. W hen I was speaking I noticed that everybody was looking at me strangely and smiled. The worst thing hap­pened when I stood up. all things in my purse dropped out!

The Latin root for the verb “to compete” is “competere” which means “to seek together” or “to strive together.” Com petition is the act o f striv ing against others for the purpose o f achieving gain, such as income, pride, amusement, or dominance. It is a term that is commonly used in numerous fields, including business, economics, law, politics, ecology, music, politics, education and sports. Competition may be between two or more individuals, groups, or organizations depending on the context in which the term is used. Competition may also exist at different sizes; some competitions may be between two members, while other competitions can involve entire community. Competition may yield various re­sults, including both intrinsic and extrinsic rewards. Some results, such as re­sources or territory, may be biologically motivated because they provide survival advantages. Others, such as competition in business and politics, are learned aspects o f human culture. Additionally, extrinsic symbols such as trophies, plaques, ribbons, prizes, or laudations may be given to the winners. Such symbolic re­wards are com m only used in human sporting and academic competitions.36. “To com pete” means “to strive together” .

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.Com pleting a m arathon is considered very difficult, but many coaches be­

lieve that it is possible for anyone who is w illing to put in the time and effort. Obviously, m ost participants do not run a marathon to win. M ore im portant for most runners is their personal finish time and their placem ent w ithin their specific age group and gender. Another very im portant goal is to break certain time barriers. For example, ambitious recreational first-tim ers often try to run the m arathon under 4 hours; more com petitive runners w ill attem pt to run under 3 hours. M any runners then prefer to finish for example in 3:29:59, which makes them “sub-3:30h m arathoners”, instead o f 3:30:01.

For most runners, the marathon is the longest run they have ever attempted. Many coaches believe that the most important element in marathon training is the long run. Recreational runners commonly try to reach a maximum o f about 20 miles in their longest w eekly run and about 40 m iles a week in total when training for the marathon. More experienced marathoners may run a longer dis­tance. During marathon training, adequate recovery time is crucial. I f fatigue or pain is felt, it is recommended to take a break for a couple o f days or more to let the body heal. Overtraining is a condition that results from not getting enough rest to allow the body to recover from difficult training. It can actually result in a lower endurance and speed and place a runner at a greater risk o f injury.36. A marathon com pletion is ______ .

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.A beauty contest is a competition based mainly, though not always entire '}

:n the physical beauty o f its contestants. But it does involve o f their personali­ties, and the questions they answer and how they answer them. Almost invari­ably, com petitions for men and women are separate events, and those for men are not referred to as beauty contests. Beauty contests for wom en are more rommon, and winners are called beauty queens. Beauty contests for men, like Mr. Universe, are more likely to be “body building” contests— quite unlike the traditional “beauty contest” in which women are judged upon many attributes both physical and otherwise. However, in the 1990s, male “beauty contests” began to shift focus. Instead o f only considering muscle mass, the competitions began to judge the natural physical attributes of the contestants as well as their physiques. These include Mr. W orld and Manhunt International.

There are also beauty contests for children. These events are often controversial, particularly when children are dressed provocatively and described in adult terms.

Regardless o f the method o f competition, break down o f scores or frequency of selection, all are defined as “entertainm ent in the form o f a beauty pageant.” It is up to the individual to determine which is best suited for com petition or of particular entertainm ent interest.36.

The W om en’s W orld Cup was originally the brainchild : f the FIFA president Joao Havelange. The first tournament was hosted in China in 1991, with twelve teams sent to represent their countries. The 1995 FIFA W omen’s W orld Cup was held in Sweden with twelve teams. Over 650,000 spectators attended the 1999 FIFA W om en’s W orld Cup in the United States, and nearly one billion viewers from seventy countries tuned in to watch sixteen countries vie for the title.

In the 1999 edition, one o f the most famous m om ents o f the tournament was Am erican defender Brandi Chastain’s victory celebration after scoring the Cup-winning penalty shot against China. She took o ff her T-shirt and waved it over her head as men frequently do, showing her muscular torso. The 1999 final in the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California had an attendance o f 90,185, a world record for a wom en’s sporting event.

The 1999 and 2003 W om en ’s W orld Cups were both held in the United States; in 2003 China was supposed to host it but the tournament was moved because o f SARS. As compensation, China retained its automatic qualification to the 2003 tournament as host nation and was automatically chosen to host the 2007 FIFA W om en’s W orld Cup.

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.The w orld’s population increased from 3 billion in 1959 to 6 billion by 1999.

a doubling that occurred over 40 years. The Census Bureau’s latest projections im ply that population grow th w ill continue into the 21st century, although more slowly. The world’s population is projected to grow from 6 billion in 1999 to 9 billion by 2042, an increase o f 50 percent that will require 43 years.

The w orld ’s population growth rate rose from about 1.5 percent per year from 1950 to 1951 to a peak o f over 2 percent in the early 1960s due to reduc­tions in mortality. Growth rates thereafter started to decline due to rising age at marriage as well as increasing availability and use o f effective contraceptive methods. Note that changes in population growth have not always been steady. A dip in the growth rate from 1959-1960, for instance, was due to the Great Leap F orw ard in China. During that tim e, both natural disasters and de­creased agricultural output in the wake o f massive social reorganization caused China’s death rate to rise sharply and its fertility rate to fall by almost half.36.

The first cause o f global greenhouse gas em issions is over-population. In 1950, the world population was 3 billion, now 6.5 billion people who produce an enormous output o f waste and utilize an unbelievable amount o f resources and energy. M ost people having children have no idea why they are even having children. M ost do not really love their children because i f they did they would be very much involved in trying to ensure that their children have a world to survive in. Unless overpopulation is addressed, there is no way o f slow ing down greenhouse gas em issions. But corporations need workers, governm ents need taxpayers, bureaucrats and soldiers. M ore people means m ore money. The solu­tion to all o f our problem s is simple. W e just need to live in accordance with the basic laws o f ecology. W eaken diversity and the entire system will be weak­ened and will ultimately collapse. All o f the species within an ecosystem are interdependent. There is a lim it to growth because there is a lim it to carrying capacity. Human populations are exceeding carrying capacity and dim inishing resources and diversity o f species. Albert Einstein wrote that “i f the bee disap­peared o ff the surface o f the globe, then man would have only four years o f life left. No m ore bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more m an.” And the honey bee is disappearing. W hy? W e do not know why. All around the world bees are disappearing and bees pollinate our plants. W e are cutting down forests and plundering the oceans.
