8、Downing the last drop of an expensive famous brand H₂O as well as remembering to throw the empty bottle in the recycling bin, makes you feel pretty good about yourself, It shouldn’t. Even  when the bottles are recycles, there are all kinds of other consequences of swallowing bottled water, says Melissa Peffers, the air-quality program manager for Environmental Defense.

The containers are often filled in faraway lands, then shipped from abroad, and stored in refrigerators at your local store. Compare that with the influence on environment of turning on your tap, filling a glass, and drinking up!

Anyone who is choosing bottled water for health reasons is misguided, says Peffers, “Most bottled water is just tap water.” And what comes out of your tap is carefully monitored to follow the strict rules. Consider another fact that bottled water is surprisingly expensive, especially when compared with the alternative, which is almost free, and it is astonishing that America’s desire for bottled water seems impossible to satisfy, reaching nearly 30 billion bottles a year.

“My parents’ generation never had bottled water, ” says Isabelle Silvrman, an Environmental Defense legal adviser. She has made a commitment to going bottle free. “You don’t need to fetch it home from the store, and it’s cheaper.” She adds.

Bottled water’s role as a status symbol needs to change, Peffers points out. So when a waiter at an expensive restaurant offers “And what’s your drink?” that’s no reason to forger your conviction（信念）. “Don’t be afraid to say, ‘I’ll have tap.’ Say it loud enough that the other tables nearby can hear you,” Peffers says, “And then spend that money on a dessert.”

A．shouldn’t feel pleased with finishing the water in the bottle

A．making bottled water free

B．a(chǎn)bandoning bottled water

C．recycling used water bottles

D．providing free water containers

80．Why does Peffers ask people to say “I’ll have tap.” Loudly?

7、One morning a few years ago, Harvard President Neil Rudenstine overslept, For this busy man, it was a sort of alarm：after years of non-stop hard work, he might wear himself out and die and early death.

Only after a week’s leave － during which he read novels, listened to music and walked with his wife or a beach － was Rudenstine able to return to work.

In our modern life, we have lost the rhythm between action and rest. Amazingly, within this world there is a universal but silly saying：“I am so busy.”

We say this to one another as if our tireless efforts were a talent by nature and an ability to successfully deal with stress. The busier we are, the more important we seem to ourselves and, we imagine, to others. To be unavailable to our friends and family, and to be unable to find time to relax － this has become the model of a successful life.

Because we do no rest, we lose our way. We miss the guide telling us where to go, the food providing is with strength, the quiet giving us wisdom.

How have we allowed this to happen? I believe it is this: we have forgotten the Sabbath, the day of the week for followers of some religions for rest and praying. It is a day when we are not supposed to work, a time when we devote ourselves to enjoying and celebrating what is beautiful. It is good time to bless our children and loved ones, give thanks, share meals, walk and sleep. It is a time for us to take a rest, to put our work aside, trusting that there are larger forces at work taking care of the world.

Rest is a spiritual and biological need, however, in our strong ambition to be successful and care for our many responsibilities, we may feel terribly guilty when we take time to rest. The Sabbath gives us permission to stop work. In face, “Remember the Sabbath” is more than simply permission to rest; it is a rule to obey and a principle to follow.

73．The “alarm” in the first paragraph refers to “      ”.

A．a(chǎn) signal of stress

B．a(chǎn) warning of danger

C．a(chǎn) sign of age

D．a(chǎn) spread of disease

74．According to Paragraph 4, a successful person is one who is believed to      .

A．be able to work without stress

B．be more talented than other people

C．be more important than anyone else

D．be busy working without time to rest

75．Some people feel guilty when taking time to rest because they      .

A．think that taking a rest means lacking ambitions

B．fail to realize that rest is an essential part of life

C．fail to realize that religions force them to rest

D．think that taking a rest means being lazy

76．What is the main idea of this passage ?

A．We should balance work with rest.

B．The Sabbath gives us permission to rest.

C．It is silly for anyone to say “I am so busy.”

D．We should be available to our family and friends.

6、People think children should play sports. Sports are fun, and children keep   31   while playing with others. However, playing sports can have  32  effects on children. It may 33   feeling of poor self-respect or aggressive behavior in some children. According to research on kids and sports, 40,000,000 kids play sports in the US. Of these, 18,000,000 say they have been  34  at or called names while playing sports. This leaves many children with a bad  35  of sports. They think sports are just too aggressive.

Many researchers believe adults, especially parents and coaches, are the main  36  of too much aggression in children’s sports. They believe children  37  aggressive adult behavior. This behavior is then further strengthened through both positive and negative feedback. Parents and coaches are powerful teachers because children usually  38  them. Often these adults behave aggressively themselves,  39  children the message that  40  is everything. Many parents go to children's sporting events and  41  insults (侮辱) at other players or cheer when their child behaves  42  . As well, children are even taught that hurting other players is  43  or are pushed to continue playing even when they are injured.   44  , the media makes violence seem exciting. Children watch adult sports games and see violent behavior replayed over and over on television.

As a society, we really need to  45  this problem and do something about it. Parents and coaches  46  should act as better examples for children. They also  47  to teach children better

_ 48  . They should not just cheer when children win or act aggressively. They should teach children to  49  themselves whether they win or not. Besides, children should not be allowed to continue to play when they are injured. If adults allow children to play when injured, this gives the message that   50  is not as important as winning.
