阅读理解Task 3Directions: This task (No.56 to No.60) is the same as Task 1. A new study by the Development of Health in Taiwan shows that more than half of the adult population in Taiwan lacks an understanding of health problems. More than 2,000 adults took part in the survey to find out about their knowledge of diet, health-care, disease control and medicine. Surprisingly, only 51% of the people surveyed understand that common cold has no cure, and taking medicine is absolutely no use at all. The problem is mad worse by doctors who give their patients large doses of useless drugs. More than two-thirds believe that it is only the nicotine in cigarettes rather than the other chemicals that causes cancer. These people believe that if they smoke “light” cigarettes with less nicotine, they will lead to more illness, suffering and early death. But the outlook for health education in Taiwan is not all negative. The survey concludes that younger Taiwanese have a better understanding of health concerns than their parents, while senior citizens have the least understanding among the three age groups. The purpose of the survey is to find out _______

阅读理解Passage 1"To seek happiness is to look for it" was once said by a famous French author. Look for it?Sure, but don't spend a lifetime trying, especially if it's well within your reach but you're just too blind to see it. Discover the three keys to happiness that you have already understood but you are just too afraid to find it.1. Accepting Yourself The idea of happiness is difficult to understand if you are not at peace with yourself. Lean to accept yourself as you are. Your next step will be to improve your attitude for tomorrow, for the next day, for the day after that, and so forth.By beginning to accept reality, you will come to the final point of true happiness. Only when you are at peace with yourself will you finally be able to admit that you are, in fact, a happy person.2. Forgiving OthersForgiving others is a true show of humanity which also allows us to feel more at ease. When you learn to forgive, you also learn to keep a firm hold on your life. To forgive is to open the doors of personal satisfaction. You simply open your mind to answer," Do I really want to allow my anger to grow and cat me from inside out?3. Helping Your NeighborsWhen a friend seems to be suffering from a state of depression, it's quite easy to help him or her out of the trouble. The best atude to have in this situation is to make him or her understand that he or she is not alone.If you come to save a fiend in need, you'll feel a lot more at peace with yourself. You will feel high-spirited by knowing that someone is looking at life on the brighter side thanks to your kind words. What's the writer's purpose in mentioning what- the famous French author said?

You can have days with more or fewer than twenty-four hours, and weeks with more or fewer than seven days.

阅读理解Task 2Directions: This task (No.51 to 55) is the same as Task1 Today almost 70% of the electrical power we use comes from power plants that use fossil fuels (矿物燃料) to make electricity. Fossil fuels, such as oil, coal, and natural gas, are burned to make electricity. Burning fossil fuels releases pollution and carbon dioxide gas (CO) into the air. The more fossil fuels we burn, the warmer the air around Earth gets. So building fossil fuel plans is not always the best answer.  Actually, there are other ways to make electricity without burning fossil fuels. People have been using the power of wind for centuries. Wind power won’t solve all our energy problems, but it can help meet some of the demands in certain places. Since the late 1800s, scientists have been working to turn the sun’s energy into electricity by using solar cells (太阳能电池). The problem is, solar cells are very expensive. Another way to make electricity is to use nuclear energy. It has been used for more than 50 years. Today about 10 percent of all the electricity used in the U.S.A. comes from this source. Although nuclear power doesn’t pollute the air as the burning of fossil fuels does, there is a major drawback . The waste products from nuclear power plants are dangerous and must be stored in safe places. Many people are concerned about the safety of nuclear power. The best title for this passage may be ________

阅读理解What happened when the author tried to find a good job?

阅读理解Passage 4Having a job is great, I have learned.It means I can afford things such as a place to live and daily meals. And with an above-average job, I can afford a car and occasional overseas vacations.However, I also understand how difficult it is to have a below-average job, having had many of them before. Its frankly pretty awful. Owning a car was out of the question- f could barely afford to ride the subway.So, I decided to go to university and get a degree.Later, I emailed my details to every company and government institution with an online careers page. I even printed y resume and handed it out in what seemed like hundreds of office buildings.One summer during university, my cousin and I helped out at my uncle's business, fixing roofs,although the only thing I got out of that was back problems. That same year, I got a job at a plumbing(管道工程)company, which 1 was terrible at. It was no surprise when I was asked to leave that job after only four days.A lot of people today believe that the problem of unemployment in my generation is our fault. Some accuse us of being lazy or over self- confident. At the same time, some people accuse members of my generation of having a sense of "specialness" that has led us to believe we can all be astronauts, movie stars or singers if we put our minds to it. Also, a few of them think that we would all be happily employed if we would only learn trades or become software engineers, because those people make the most money.I realize that not everyone can go into space or become a star in Hollywood movies,however. I also think not everyone can make a good electrician or design advanced computer software- I know I can't.Everyone is good at something, but no one is good at everything It took me hundreds of rejection emails to realize that I had to focus on finding a job where I could actually be successful.And now.1 finally have that job. All it took was several years of desperation, failure and an honest assessment of my personal value in the job market.It's not the best start, but it's not bad for a start too.What was the author's life like before he went to university?
