26、   Goolsbee, now a professor at the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business, said the rising number of Americans out of work forever paints a troubling picture about the recovery (恢复).

“If we are on path to only be two-thirds recovered,” Goolsbee wrote, “and then have millions of businesses closed down and the jobs there lost fast, there will be years for us to try to get back onto the path we were on before.”

And those everlasting job losses will influence the economy. People out of work may cutback spending or even stop it. They are at risk of falling behind on car payments, credit card bills and bank loan (贷款). Those risks are magnified by the fact that the government has so far failed to provide additional economic recovery policies (政策) — even though the US economy is in great need of them.

“Good insurance (保险) policies for people out of work have helped them pay the loan much more easily,” Principal’s Shah wrote, “but with everlasting job losses clearly rising and still no sign of an additional economic recovery package, the trouble will become more widespread and obvious.”

The hope is that those recognized as jobless at present will in the end get a job somewhere else. Even though some restaurants, shops and small businesses have shut down, new companies are opening each day here and there. But there is a time limit at play because the time of continuously out of job influences the chances of getting another job. “The longer you’re out of the job market,” said PNC’s Faucher, “the more difficult it becomes to find a new one.” Many Americans who had a job loss or had a too long vacation without any payment are eagerly looking forward to another job.

【1】What does the underlined word “magnified” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A.Reduced. B.Enlarged.

C.Avoided. D.Unchanged.

【2】What’s Shah’s attitude towards the government’s present economy policies?

A.Supportive. B.Confused.

C.Disappointed. D.Uninterested.

【3】What can we learn about the Americans out of work?

A.Losing jobs gets them out of the job market.

B.They have more opportunities to have vacations.

C.They successfully get offers from new companies.

D.Losing jobs for long makes it harder to find a new one.

【4】What’s the main idea of the passage?

A.The jobless usually spend less.

B.Insurance companies offer necessary loans.

C.More job losses suggest a dark economy future.

D.The economy recovery depends on the government.

27、   When I was a small boy, I noticed that though many of the adults around me were wealthy and educated, they were not always happy and this sometimes led them to behave in ways, which I, as a child, thought strange. As a result of that, I decided to try to understand what happiness was and how best to achieve it. It was not surprising, then, that I decided to study psychology.

On arrival at the university, I was disappointed to find that academic psychologists were trying to understand human behaviour by studying rats in a lab. I felt that there must be other more useful ways of learning how we think and feel. I decided to build my career on trying to discover what made others happy. I started out by studying creative people such as musicians, artists and athletes because they were people who devoted their lives to doing what they wanted to do, rather than things that just brought them financial rewards.

Later, I expanded the study by inventing a system called “the experience sampling method”. Ordinary people were asked to keep an electronic pager(传呼机) for a week which gave out a beeping sound eight times a day. Every time it did so, they wrote down where they were, what they were doing, how they felt and how much they were concentrating. This system has now been used on more than 10，000 people, and the answers are consistent: as with creative people, ordinary people are happiest when concentrating hard.

I found that the most obvious cause of happiness is intense concentration. This must be the main reason why activities such as music, art, literature, sports and other forms of leisure have survived. In order to concentrate, whether you're reading a poem or building a sandcastle, what you need is a challenge that matches your ability. The way to remain continually happy, therefore, is to keep finding new opportunities to improve your skills. This may mean learning to do your job better or faster, or doing other more difficult jobs. As you grow older, you have to find new challenges which are more appropriate to your age.

【1】What led the author to study psychology?

A．His determination to become rich.

B．His observation of adults.

C．His unhappy childhood.

D．His interest in strangers.

【2】Who were the author's study subjects at the start of his career?

A．People having deep affection for their career.

B．People very aware of their personal life.

C．People successful in acquiring wealth.

D．People with more freedom.

【3】The author used his system to show that ________．

A．people's happiness depends on who they are with

B．people are happier when they focus on an activity

C．creative people are happier than ordinary people

D．ordinary people find it hard to concentrate

【4】According to the text, people concentrate more when they are doing ______．

A．something strange and enjoyable

B．things appropriate to their ages

C．something difficult but possible

D．many things at the same time

28、These days many students like to make friends on line. Most of them think it's interesting to know an unknown person through the Internet. So, many students like to use computers to talk with those friends. And they spend too much time on it. Some of them can not do well in their school work. Their parents often don’t think the children are as good as before. So many teachers and parents are worried about their children.

In fact, only very few of them can get real good friends in this way. Most of them were cheated by those unseen friends. And some of the students did wrong things on line. It’s terrible for students to use too much time to make friends and talk on line. So we should be careful of making friends on line and should not spend too much time on it. We’d better pay more attention to study. We will be happy when we do well in school and at home.

29、   My fifteen-year-old son has just returned from abroad with rolls of exposed film and a hundred dollars in uncashed traveler's cheques（支票）, and is asleep at the moment. His blue duffel bag lies on the floor where he dropped it. Obviously，he postponed as much sleep as he could: when he walked in and we hugged his electrical system suddenly turned off, and he headed directly for the bed, where I imagine he beat his old record of sixteen hours.

It was his first trip overseas, so weeks before it, I pressed travel books on him, and a tape of useful French phrases; drew up a list of people to visit; advised him on clothing and other things. At the luggage store where we went to buy him a suitcase, he headed for the duffels, saying that suitcases were more for old people.

During the trip, he called home three times: from London, Paris, and a village named Ullapool. Near Ullapool, he climbed a mountain in a rainstorm that almost blew him off. In the village, a man spoke to him in Gaelic（盖尔语）, and, too polite to stop him, my son listened to him for ten or fifteen minutes, trying to nod in the right places. The French he learned from the tape didn't hold water in Paris. The French he talked to shrugged and walked on.

When my son called, I sat down at the kitchen table and hung on every word. His voice came through clearly, though two of the calls were like ship-to-shore communication. When I broke in with a “Great!” or a “Really?”, I knocked a little hole in his communication. So I just sat and listened. I have never listened to telephone so attentively and with so much pleasure. It was wonderful to hear news from him that was so new to me. In my book，he was the first man to land on the moon, and I knew that I had no advice to give him and that what I had already given was probably not much help.

The unused cheques are certainly proof of that. Youth travels light. No suitcase, not much luggage and a slim expense account, and yet he went to the scene, and came back safely. I sit here amazed. The night when your child returns with dust on his shoes from a country you've never seen is a night you would gladly turn into a week.

【1】During the trip, the author's son ______.

A．ran out of money

B．didn't get enough sleep

C．forgot to call his mother

D．failed to take his suitcase

【2】According to the passage, the author's son can BEST be described as ______.

A．adventurous

B．independent

C．creative

D．polite

【3】What does the underlined word “that” in the last paragraph refer to?

A．It is important to listen to your child's story.

B．It's easy to break in on the chat with your child.

C．The author is proud of her son landing on the moon.

D．The son no longer needs much help from his mother.

【4】We can infer from the passage that _______.

A．good parents should protect their children from potential dangers

B．the world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page

C．it's a win-win choice to give a child space to experience and explore

D．communication between parents and children is extremely important
