Return From Space
The vacation’s over for American space tourist Richard Garriott. On Friday, the 47-year-old computer games designer returned safely to Earth after a 10-day visit to the International Space Station (ISS). The capsule(太空舱) carrying Garriott and two Russian astronauts successfully touched down near the town of Arkalyk, in the central Asian country of Kazakhstan.
Garriott’s father, former NASA astronaut Owen Garriott, was there to greet his son on the ground. After the younger Garriott was pulled from the capsule, his father patted him on the head, and asked, “How come you look so fresh and ready to go?” To which Garriott replied, “Because I’m fresh and ready to go again. What a great ride that was!”
Interest in space tourism has grown in recent years. Garriott is an investor in Space Adventures, a U.S. company that has organized all of the space tourist flights so far. Several other companies have also started investing millions of dollars to offer trips into space for clients who can afford the heavy price tag.
Garriott is the sixth private citizen to travel into space. On October 12, his vision of following in his father’s footsteps came true as he was blasted off aboard a Russian rocket, launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. Garriott is the first American to follow his father into space. The Austin, Texas, resident paid $30 million for the holiday in orbit.
But Garriott’s dream vacation wasn’t all play. He also carried out experiments including taking pictures of the Earth’s surface. In 1973, Garriott’s father took extensive photographs of Earth during his 60-day stay on the U.S. Skylab space station. Garriott plans to compare his images with those his father snapped to see how Earth’s environment has changed in the past 35 years.

Are you one of those who always fear whenever a dog is approaching? If you are, you have got phobia (a very strong feeling of being afraid of something). Of all human fears, phobias may be the most uncontrollable. They are most often caused by a particular situation or object. In general, phobias can mainly be divided into three varieties. To begin with，agoraphobia is a fear of staying in strange surroundings, for example, an unfamiliar place, or an open area. Social phobia refers to the anxiety people show when they have to stay or perform on social events, for instance, speaking in front of the class. Lastly, there are a wide range of specific phobias. People suffering from this kind of phobia are terrified of specific objects or creatures, such as spiders, perhaps to your surprise, clowns. Besides, there are about six hundred and fifty phobias having been listed by psychologists (心理学家) as yet.
Faced with their phobias, many people choose to do nothing but just escape the situations or objects they fear. Psychologists, however, warn that if not treated properly, this kind of anxiety will get worse, so that it may disturb the sleep pattern, cause physical symptoms, and finally affect their daily activities. As for treatment, clinical research has discovered that medicine for anxiety is not successful in curing phobias. However, the anxiety disorders can be efficiently treated through cognitive behavioral therapy (认知行为疗法), through which patients are led to inspect the connections between their own fear and the situation or object, and then actively choose the acceptable treatments. Also, other treatments proved effective in reducing phobias are Meditation (quiet thought that can help people relax), listening to calming music, and so on.
60. Phobias are mainly caused by__________ .
A. anxiety
B. animal attacks
C. terrible dreams and imagination
D. a certain situation or thing

A. To take medicine for anxiety.
B. To listen to comforting light music.
C. To lose oneself in a peaceful environment.
D. To understand the very source of one’s own anxiety.
62. Which of the following statements about phobias is correct?
A. Actors can help people to cure their phobias.
B. Phobias can be divided into six hundred and fifty types.
C. Those suffering from phobias may not sleep well or work normally.
D. Cognitive behavioral therapy demands little participation from patients.
63. What do those with agoraphobia feel terrified and anxious about?
A. Staying on a square.
B. Touching insects, like spiders.
C. Being harmed by virus.
D. Giving a speech in presence of many people.
C
There was once a rabbit who thought the more friends she had, the better. So she made many friends. She even thought she was the most popular animal in the world.
One day the rabbit heard hounds(猎犬) baying not far from her. Usually, she hurried away at the first sound of a baying dog. But this time she didn’t want to run for her life as before. “I have so many friends, and they could help me,” she thought. She decided to ask one of them to carry her to safety.
The rabbit asked the horse, “Please, dear friend, will you carry me away from the hounds?”
The horse answered, “I wish I could help you, but I have work to do for my owner.” Then the rabbit asked the cow for help. The cow answered, “I wish I could help you, but it’s almost milking time.”
The goat had something important to do, too. So were the sheep and the pig. Every animal the rabbit asked for help seemed to be occupied. Even the calf(牛犊) had no time for her. Each of her friends said, “I wish I could help you.” But all of them had some excuse that prevented them from helping her.
Sadly, the rabbit said to herself, “I have so many friends in the world, but why don’t they help me when I’m in danger?”
By this time, the hounds were getting closer. The rabbit didn’t have any time to think. She was forced to run for her life. She quickly took off and, luckily, escaped just in time.

B. the animals didn’t believe the rabbit

C. Bad excuses are worse than none
D. Never say no to your friends

A. Hold a true friend with both your hands.
B. A friend without weakness will never be found.
A. look for volunteers to work for Crossroads
B. call on people to donate more goods
C. let people know what is Crossroads International
D. tell people what Crossroads can provide
71. From the passage, we can conclude that__________ .
A. people who work at Crossroads get low pay from it
B. Crossroads doesn’t give goods directly to the people who need them
C. you can do whatever you like if you offer help at Crossroads
D. Crossroads has collected more goods that needed

Obama Elected president
Barack Obama has been elected president of the United States, the first African-American elevated to the White House, AP reported.
With victories in Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and other battleground states, Obama built a commanding lead over his Republican rival, John McCain.
Obama surged in the polls amid a national financial crisis, campaigning as the candidate of change.
He and his fellow Democrats sought to link McCain to the unpopular George W. Bush.
The son of a black man from Kenya and a white woman from Kansas, Obama soared into the national spotlight after his electrifying speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention.
Emphasizing his opposition to the Iraq war, he defeated Hillary Rodham Clinton after a long, primary fight.
He then beat back Republican efforts to portray him as reckless, naive and inexperienced. He also had to combat Internet misinformation questioning his religion and patriotism.
As he fought to become president, Obama attracted millions of first-time voters—and brought the historic American election to the attention of the entire world.
72. The underlined word “elected” in paragraph 1 is most likely to mean__________ ?
A. votedB. accepted
C. offeredD. admitted
73. Which one of the statements is right?

B. Obama was portrayed as reckless, naive and inexperienced in primary fight with Hillary Rodham Clinton.
C. The reason why Obama won is that millions of first-time voters support him.
D. Obama is a Democrat.
74. What made Obama become the focus of the public?
A. the national financial crisis
B. his being elected president
C. the 2004 Democratic National Convention
D. the competition with John McCain
75. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Obama won victories in Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and other battleground states.
B. Obama was elected the first African-American President.
C. Obama is against the Iraq war.
D. Obama was attractive.

Sadly, the rabbit said to herself, “I have so many friends in the world, but why don’t they help me when I’m in danger?”

Obama Elected president
Barack Obama has been elected president of the United States, the first African-American elevated to the White House, AP reported.
With victories in Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and other battleground states, Obama built a commanding lead over his Republican rival, John McCain.
Obama surged in the polls amid a national financial crisis, campaigning as the candidate of change.
He and his fellow Democrats sought to link McCain to the unpopular George W. Bush.
The son of a black man from Kenya and a white woman from Kansas, Obama soared into the national spotlight after his electrifying speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention.
Emphasizing his opposition to the Iraq war, he defeated Hillary Rodham Clinton after a long, primary fight.
He then beat back Republican efforts to portray him as reckless, naive and inexperienced. He also had to combat Internet misinformation questioning his religion and patriotism.
As he fought to become president, Obama attracted millions of first-time voters—and brought the historic American election to the attention of the entire world.
