Opportunities don't come often. They come every once in a while. Very often,they come quietly and go by without 31 (notice). Therefore, it is advisable 32 you should value and treat them with care.When an opportunity comes, it brings a promise but never realizes it 33 its own.If you want to achieve something 34 intend to fulfill one of your ambitions,you must work hard, make efforts and get prepared. 35 , you will take no advantage of opportunities when they come to visit you. The difference between a man who succeeds and 36who does not lies only in the way each treats opportunlties. The successful person always makes adequate 37 (prepare) to meet opportunities as they duly arrive. The unsuccessful person, on the other hand, works little and just waits to see them pass by.

Jade means a lot in Chinese culture and is highy valued by the Chinese people.
Many people begin to wear one when they are young till they die, believing that it
will bring them good luck.
Every time I stop to think about which possession of mine means the most to me,
I find myself looking at my left wrist, around which is a simple jade bracelet. And this bracelet will always remind me of my culture and the individual that I am.
I remember very clearly the night my parents gave me the bracelet. It was in mysophomore (二年级) year of high school, and I had stayed out at midnight. When Ifinally got home, my parents gave me a lecture on responsibility. I expected to beplaced on restriction, but instead they gave me a jade bracelet. I was totally
shocked...but when I went to bed that night I was supremely happy.
The next morning my father told me that because they had gone shopping for the
bracelet, he had not gone to the racetrack(赛马场), and had missed out on winning
$20,000 because of me. However, he said that I was worth it.
The bracelet will always remind me of those two days and the love that exists in my relationship with my parents, even though nothing is ever said. I know that no matter what I may do, my parents will always love me and accept me the way I am.
Since I got the bracelet, I have not taken it off--mostly because I don't want to. My bracelet means so much to me that if it should ever break, I would be enormously
upset, But then. I could always save the pieces for good luck.

Sixteen years ago, Eileen Doyle's husband, an engineer, took his four children up for an early morning cup of tea, packed a small case and was never seen or heard of again. Eileen was astonished and in a state of despair. They had been a happy family and, as far as she knew, there had been nothing wrong with their marriage.
Every day of the year a small group of men and women quietly pack a few
belongings and without so much as a note or a good--bye close the front door for the last time, leaving their debts, their worries and their confused families behind them.Last year, more than 1,200 men and nearly as many women were reported missing
from home--the highest in 15 years. Many did return home within a year, but others
rejected the past completely and are now living a new life somewhere under a
different identity.
To those left behind, this form of desertion is a terrible blow to their pride and self-confidence. Even the finality of death might be preferable. At least it does not imply rejection or failure. Worse than that, people can be left with an unfinished marriage, not knowing whether they will have to wait seven years before they are free to start a fresh life.
Clinical psychologist Paul Brown believes most departures of this kind to be well
planned rather than impulsive. "It's typical of the kind of personality which seems
able to ignore other people's pain and difficulties. Running away, like killing yourself,is a highly aggressive act. By creating an absence the people left behind feel guilty,upset and empty."
51. When her husband left home, Eileen Doyle________.
A. could not forgive him for taking the children
B. had been expecting it to happen for some time
C. could not understand why
D. blamed herself for what had happened
52. Most people who leave their families behind them___________.
A. do so without warning
B. do so because of their debts
C. come back immediately
D. change their names
53. Some people would even prefer the death to the running away of their spouse
Because_________.
A. their spouse would feel no pain during the death
B. their spouse death would not blow their pride and confidence
C. a desertion would not bring a feeling of rejection or failure
D. their spouse death would make them feel less painful
54. Which might be the best tire of the passage?
A. Broken Marriage B. New life after Desertion
C. A New Social Problem D. Desertion and its Influence
55. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Many people choose to leave home quietly because they hate their family.
B. Paul Brown regards leaving home as an act of selfishness.
C. Those who are left behind will lose confidence and won't marry again.
D. Eileen's husband, together with his four kids, were probably killed in an accident.
After the Summer Olympics are over, when all the athletes have gone home and
the television audience has switched off, another group of athletes and fans will arrive at the host city, and another competition will begin. These are the Paralympics, the games for athletes with a disability. But in Beijing in 2008, for the first time, one of the greatest Paralympies will not be taking part.
She is a British athlete by the name of Tanni Crey-Thormpson. Born with spine
hifida (脊椎裂) which left her paralysed from the waist down. Tanni used a
wheelchair from the age of 7. At first, she was not keen on sport, apart from
horse-riding, which gave her a sense of freedom. But in her teens, she started taking
sports more seriously. She tried swimming, basketball and tennis. Eventually she
found athletics, and never looked back.
Indeed, Tanni's athletic career took off. In 1984, whenshe was 15, she pulled off a surprise victory in the 100 metres at the Junior National Wheelehair Games. In 1988,Tanui went to her first Paralympic Games in Seoul. She won bronze in the 400 metres.Even greater success followed at the 1992 Barcelona. Paralympics. Tanni won gold in the 100,200,400 and 800 metres relay, setting two world records in the process. In the same year she achieved she first of her six London Wheelchair Marathon
victories.
Tanni's enduring success had been part motivation, part preparation, "The
training I do enables me to be a good sprinter (短跑运动员) enables me to be good at a marathon too. I train 50 weeks of the year and that keeps me prepared for whatever
distance I want to race I am still competing at a very high lever, but as I get older things get harder and I want to retire before I fall apart."
Indeed Tanni retired finally after the Visa Paralympic World Cup in 2007. Her
wish is to coach young athletes for Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.
In spite of ups and downs, she never takes her fate lying down. In her splendid
life, she has won an amazing eleven gold medals, four silvers and one bronze in series
of Paralympics--a top lever athletic career covering two decades. She has won the
London Wheelchair Marathon six times, more than any other competitor, and she has
set over thirty world records.
What advice does she have for young athletes? "Work hard at your studies, and
then train, train and train again."
46. Which of the following sports did Tanni like before thirteen?
A. Basketball B. Swimming. C. Tennis. D. Horse-riding.
47. When did Tanni win her first Olympic gold medal?_
