a short time while looking for a house for me and our children. during the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. he came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. he was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport. he reported the case to the police and then sat there，lost and lonely in a strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one. late in the evening, the phone rang. it was a stranger. he was trying to pronounce my husbands name and was asking him a lot of questions. then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can（垃圾桶）that had been left out on the footpath. my husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. at last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend. that family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people. we still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way. 46. what did rashid plan to do after his arrival in sydney?a. take a vacation b. go shopping c. find a house d. join his family47. the girls parents got rashids phone number

bsome people feel sad or depressed during the winter months in northern areas of the world. they may have trouble eating or sleeping. they suffer from a condition known as seasonal affective disorder, or s-a-d.victims of s-a-d suffer its effects during the short, dark days of winter. the problems are most severe in the months when there are fewer hours of daylight. when spring arrives, these signs disappear and s-a-d victims feel well again.the national mental health association reports that s-a-d can affect anyone. the group says young people and women are at the highest risk for the disorder. it says that an estimated twenty-five percent of the american population suffer from some form of s-a-d. about five percent suffer from a severe form of the disorder. many people in other parts of the world also have the condition. for example, some scientists who work in antarctica suffer from seasonal affective disorder. during the long, dark winter months there, workers have difficulty finding enough energy to do their jobs.the idea of health problems linked to a lack of light is not new. scientists have discussed the issue since the beginning of medicine. more than two-thousand years ago, the greek doctor hippocrates noted that the seasons affect human emotions.today, experts do not fully understand s-a-d. yet they agree that it is a very real disorder. many doctors think that a change in brain chemistry causes people to develop s-a-d. they say people with the condition have too much of the hormone melatonin (褪黑激素)in their bodies. the pineal gland(松果體) in the brain produces melatonin while we sleep. this hormone is believed to cause signs of depression. melatonin is produced at increased levels in the dark. so, its production increases when the days are shorter and darker.to treat the disorder, victims of s-a-d do not need to wait until spring. experts know that placing affected individuals in bright light each day eases the condition. there are other things people can do to ease the problem. they can increase the sunlight in their homes and workplaces. they can spend more time outdoors in the fresh air during the day.one study has found that walking for an hour in winter sunlight was as effective as spending two-and-one-half hours under bright light indoors.50. which of the following is not a sign of s-a-d? a. feeling optimistic b. trouble eating c. sleeping d. feeling depressed 51. based on the passage, which of the following group of people are most likely to suffer from s-a-d? a. children b. young people and women c. old peopled. men 52. according to the passage, which of the following statements is true? a. experts have already got a full understanding of the cause of s-a-d.b. scientists working in antarctica seldom suffer from s-a-d.c. all doctors agree that s-a-d is caused by a change in brain chemistry.d. about three quarters of the american population are free from s-a-d.63.the following are all effective ways to cure s-a-d except_.a. to spend some time under bright light indoors each dayb. to decrease the sunlight in homes and workplacesc. to increase the sunlight in homes and workplacesd. to spend some time outdoors in the fresh air during the day cin many cultures white is often associated with something positivea white-collar job, for instance, is the kind of job many people look for, working with your

negative wayin ancient thailand, a white elephant was regarded as a sacred animal, but it was very expensive to keepthe kings of those days presented a white elephant to the people they wanted to

difficult to talk well.c、 a famous master of the art d、 pronunciation and usagee、 what makes a good talker f、 talk with strangers61._ the ancient greeks were very good at making conversations, and the greatest talker of them all was philosopher socrates. his pupil, plato, recorded some of his supposed conversations, and we read them in the dialogues of plato. in many classrooms today, socrates method of teaching is used.62._ the best talkers appear to have a great interest in and love for their fellow creatures; a curiosity about the world in general; some powers of observation and reflection; respect for their own opinions and tolerance for those of others; and quick thinking. and they talked for the fun of it, not to show off their knowledge.63._ a good voice must have the help of good speech, whose two assistants are clear enunciation(清晰發(fā)音)and correct pronunciation. poor enunciation may suggest to your listeners that you lack consideration, and that you are not
