A
Bertie knew there was something in the wind．His mother had been sad in recent days, not sick, just strangely sad．The lion had just lain down beside him, his head warm on Bertie's feet when Father cleared his throat and began, " You'll soon be eight, Bertie．A boy needs a proper education．We've found the right place for you, a school near Salisbury in England．"
His heart filled with a terrible fear, all Bertie could think of was his white lion．"But the lion," he cried, "What about the lion?"
"I'm afraid there's something else I have to tell you," his father said．Looking across at Bertie's mother, he took a deep breath．Then he told Bertie he had met a circus owner from France, who was over in Africa looking for lions to buy．He would come to their farm in a few days．
"No! You can't send him to a circus!" said Bertie．"People will come to see him．He'll be shut up behind bars．I promised him he never would be．And they will laugh at him．He'd rather die．Any animal would! " But as he looked across the table at them, he knew their minds were quite made up．
Bertie felt completely betrayed．He waited until he heard his father's deep breathing next door． With his white lion at his heels, he crept downstairs in his pyjamas, took down his father's rifle from the rack and stepped out into the night．He ran and ran till his legs could run no more．As the sun came up over the grassland, he climbed to the top of a hill and sat down, his arms round the lion's neck．The time had come．
"Be wild now," he whispered．"You've got to be wild．Don't ever come home．All my life I'll think of you．I promise I will．" He buried his head in the lion's neck．Then, Bertie clambered down the hill and walked away．
When he looked back, the lion was still sitting there watching him; but then he stood up, yawned, stretched, and sprang down after him．Bertie shouted at him, but he kept coming．He threw sticks．He threw stones．Nothing worked．
There was only one thing left to do．With tears filling his eyes and his mouth, he lifted the rifle to his shoulder and fired over the lion's head．
56．Bertie's mother was sad probably because she ______．

Doctors sometimes prescribe light therapy to treat a form of depression in people who get too little morning sun．But too much light at other times may actually cause such mood disorders． Long-lasting exposure to light at night brings depression, a new study finds, at least in animals．
The new data confirm observations from studies of people who work night shifts, says Richard Stevens of the University of Connecticut Health Center．Mood disorders join a growing list of problems, including cancer, obesity and diabetes?hat can occur when light throws life out of balance by disturbing the biological clock and its timing of daily rhythms．
In the new study, Tracy Bedrosian and Randy Nelson of Ohio State University exposed mice to normal light and dark cycles for four weeks．For the next four weeks, half of the mice remained on this schedule, and the rest received continuous dim light throughout their night．Compared with mice exposed to normal nighttime darkness, those getting dim light at night lost their strong preference for sweet drinks, " a sign they no longer get pleasure out of activities they once enjoyed," Bedrosian says．
In a second test, mice were clocked on how long they actively tried to escape a pool of water． Those exposed to night lights stopped struggling and just floated in the water, a sign of "behavioral despair" , 10 times as long as the mice that had experienced normal nighttime darkness．All symptoms of depression disappeared within two weeks of the mice returning to a normal light-dark cycle, the researchers report．The scientists also could quash the behavioral symptoms by injecting （注射） the brains of animals with a drug that prohibits the activity of certain molecules linked with human depression．This finding further suggests that light at night may cause something related to depression．
Human studies linking nighttime light and mood disorders are important but can't easily detect molecular underpinnings （分子基礎） as animal studies can, says George Brainard of Thomas Jefferson University．The new work, he says, suggests that the change of the biological clock by light at night can be "an extremely powerful force in regulating biology and behavior．
63．After being exposed to continuous nighttime light, the mice ______．
A．changed their preferences B．escaped from the water more eagerly
C．remained active as before D．showed less interest in their favorites
64．What does the underlined word "quash" in Para．4 probably mean?
A．study B．predict
C．ease D．cause
65．We can leam from the last paragraph that ______．
A．light at night may have practical value
B．the biological clock is beneficial to humans
C．human mood disorders cannot be healed easily
D．human studies are more important than animal studies
66．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Nighttime light may foster depression．
B．A drug has been found to cure mood disorders．
C．The study on animals can be applied to humans．
D．Human biological clock can be controlled by lieht．
D
Why Doesn't Anybody Copy Apple?
Apple’s products are the envy of the world. They have beenspectacularly successful and are widely imitated, if not copied．The minute Apple crystallizes a product, everyone knows how to compete．
This idea that the basis of competition is set by Apple and then the
race is on to climb the path of improvement is unquestionable．When
Apple releases a product that defines a category or dramatically
changes the structure of an industry, it becomes obvious what needs to be built．But what I wonder is why everyone wants to copy Apple's products but nobody wants to copy being Apple?
I can think of two reasons．Firstly, Apple is not worth copying because it's not successful; secondly, Apple's success cannot be copied because it is a magical process．
There is a great deal of evidence for the first hypothesis．The idea of Apple being successful is not something reflected in its stock price．Being valued lower than the average company in the S&P（標準普爾）500 indicates that to whatever degree Apple was successful in the past, it's not seen by the vast majority of observers as successful in the future．Why should one bother copying Apple if it results in being punished with a low valuation? If one works really hard at innovation and then that innovation becomes commoditized（商品化） very quickly, why should one bother?
When innovation practitioners are asked what makes Apple successful, the answers regarding the cause of this success border on the mythical．The climax of this hypothesis is the " chief-sorcerer" theory of success which places one magician, like Steve Jobs, in charge of casting all the right spells （符咒）．
What about Apple's own opinion of what makes it tick? Tim Cook refers to a great team and integration of hardware, software and services as unique Apple advantages．It's a better explanation． Integration is something that can take a long time, but it is possible with great effort．A few companies are starting to make moves in that direction, but efforts are half-hearted．There is no "move the Earth" panic to become an integrated company from Samsung, Google or Microsoft．
My own suspicion is that Apple is more aware of wliat makes it special than it lets out． However, as Tim points out, it's not a formula．It's complex, it's subtle, but it's not magic．It's a process that requires a degree of faith and courage．
67．When a new product of Apple comes out, often it ______．
A．ruins an industry dramatically
B．starts a revolution of an industry
C．puts itself in an unbeatable position
D．is soon overtaken by imitated products
68．According to the passage, other companies don't "copy being Apple" because ______.
A．Apple is not a successful company
B．they have no access to relevant resources
C．it's hard to find a magician like Steve Jobs
D．being Apple takes more than time and efforts
69．We can infer from Para．5 that ______．
A．other companies are dedicated to integration
B．Apple itself is fully aware of its unique advantages
C．Apple will hold the leading position in this industry
D．other companies don't have a great team as Apple does
70．What does the author think of Tim Cook's statement?
A．Convincing． B．Disappointing．
C．Unquestionable． D．Acceptable．

根據短文內容，從短文后的七個選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
Apathy
Apathy is a stale of lacking interest, enthusiasm or concern． 71 They may also exhibit unfeelingness．Christians have condemned apathy as a lack of love and devotion to God and His works．
72 Also meaning "absence of passion" in Greek, the term "apatheia" was used by the Stoics （禁欲主義者） to show a desirable state of indifference towards events and things which lie outside one's control．
The modern concept of apathy became well known after World War I, when it was called " shell shock． " Soldiers, living in the trenches among the bombing and gun fires, saw the battlefields filled with dead and wounded companions． 73 In 1950, US novelist Passes wrote "Apathy is one of the characteristic responses of any living being when it is subjected to something too tense or too complicated to deal with．" US philosopher Robert M．Hutchins summarizes the concerns about political indifference．He claims that the death of democracy is not likely to be a sudden murder from ambush （埋伏）． 74
There may be other things contributing to a person's apathy．Activist Dave Meslin argues that apathy is often the result of social systems actively blocking engagement and involvement．He describes various barriers that prevent people from knowing how or why they might get involved in something． 75 These include: political media that make it difficult for potentially interested people to find relevant information, and media descriptions of heroes as " chosen" by outside forces rather than self-motivated．He suggests that we redefine social apathy as a result of poorly designed systems that fail to invite others to participate．
A．It will be a slow process of fading away from apathy and indifference．
B．Apathetic people may lack a sense of purpose or meaning in their life．
C．He focuses on designed choices that deliberately or indeliberately exclude people．
D．The word "dispassion" is used for "apatheia" , so as not to confuse it with apathy．
E．So they gradually developed a sense of disconnected numbness to normal social interaction．
F．Although the word "apathy" originates from "apatheia" , it is important not to confuse the two terms．
G．Author John McManamy argues apathy is a psychological problem for some depressed people, in which they get a sense that "nothing matters"．

Saturday, April 2 Fine
This morning, my foreign teacher Tim and I planned to go to the People’s Park to enjoy ourselves. We took a taxi and it wasn’t long before we arrived at the gate of the park. On seeing the green trees and blooming flowers, Tim couldn’t wait to take pictures. It was at that moment that we found his camera was gone. He searched all over his backpack but just couldn’t find it. Suddenly it occurred to me that he might have left it in the taxi. With anxiety and hope, we found out the invoice of the taxi, on which a phone number was printed, so I immediately got in touch with the taxi company. About half an hour later, the driver returned with the camera and you could imagine the wide smile spreading across Tim’s face. Both of us were grateful to the driver, and Tim, in particular, insisted on taking a photo with him.
Tim and I enjoyed ourselves during the rest of the day, but it was that taxi driver who made our day.

Jim, look at this interesting picture. I think it tries to convey that we need to look at things from different angles.
As we can see, the two kids are looking at the same number in the opposite direction and having an argument about whether the number is 6 or 9. They feel confused why the obvious truth seems invisible to the other. Similar arguments happen in our daily life when we observe things from our own points of view, just like the two kids in the picture.

W: I saw the new Clint Eastwood movie last night.
M: Oh, you like Eastwood, don’t you?

Text 2
M: You look worried, why?
W: My best friends Julia and Susan quarreled. I really don’t know how to help them.
M: Take it easy. They will be fine in a couple of days.
W: But I can’t wait. I hope they can make up with each other soon. I think I’ll talk with them.
M: Well, if I were you, I’d wait.

W: Jim, have you got any ideas for our spring break?
M: Well, what I have in mind is scuba diving in Sydney.
W: Fantastic! But where are we going to stay?
M: Ah, I know a very a nice hotel there.
Text 4
W: What a pity! The accident ruined your holiday!
M: Yes, it’s bad luck. I should have been more careful while driving. Now I feel miserable lying here.
W: Oh, cheer up. I believe you will be out of here in a couple of days.
M: I hope so.
Text 5
W: I haven’t seen you for ages. What have you been doing, Mike?

M: Good for you.
W: Thanks.
Text 6
W: Hey, Ben. Did you do well in your essay?
M: I just got a B plus, but Mr. Jones gave Tom full marks.
W: I’m not surprised. He’s a teachers’ pet, you know. They always give him good marks.
M: Teachers’ pet? I don’t think so. You know, he’s my roommate. He gets up early and goes to bed late every day.
W: Maybe that’s just his habit.
M: No, you envy him, don’t you? I always see him in the library.
W: Oh! No wonder he is a top student.

M: Janet, I need you to present the sales report on Monday.
W: You do? But that’s not possible. Today is Thursday, and I usually spend a week writing it.
M: I know. But our new boss will be arriving on Monday. Would you consider working on Saturday?
W: Oh, I’m afraid I can’t. My sister’s wedding is this Saturday.
M: But still, first thing on Monday morning will be the sales meeting.
W: Hmm. I have an idea. If you can get two other people to work with me today, I could put the report together tomorrow.
M: OK. I can’t agree more. Rick and Sandy can help you.
W: OK, then… I’d better get to work.
Text 8
W: Hi, Dad. Is there a map at home?
M: Yeah, why?
W: I’m going to a party in a rural house at the Hill Peak on Friday.
M: A party? What party?
W: A good-bye party for Jenny. You know she’s moving to Newcastle next week.
M: Oh, how do you plan to go there?
W: I don’t know. I’m thinking about taking the tube.
M: No. The tube doesn’t go there. The tram will do, though.
W: Good. Where should I take off, then?
M: At the Central Park station.
W: Do you know how long it will take, Dad?
M: Em… more than three hours, probably. Why don’t you drive your new car?
W: Well, Dad. You know I just got my license and I don’t know how to get there.
M: Come on, sweetheart. Have confidence, OK? Here’s the map.
W: OK. I’ll do it. By the way, what gift do you think I should take to her?
M: I’m not sure. Maybe an ice cream cake or some flowers.
W: Anything special? I want to take her something that lasts.
M: Oh, I remember you both like teddy bears, right?
W: Good idea. How could I forget that! Thank you Dad.
M: You’re welcome. Take care and have a good time.
