1、Passage 1
The secret of being born lucky is a summer birthday, with May babies most likely to enjoy a lifetime‘s good fortune, according to a study of more than 40,000 people. The time of year at which you are born has an enduring influence on levels of optimism and self-reported luck, according to a research by British and Swedish scientists. May was the luckiest month in which to be born, with 50 percent of those born then considering themselves lucky, while October was the least lucky month, with just 43 percent claiming good fortune.
The findings add to growing evidence that the phenomenon of luck is not all down to chance, but is affected by a person‘s general disposition. Other research has shown that whether people think themselves fortunate depends less on objective success than on having a ―glass half-full‖ or“half-empty‖ approach to life. ―What we are seeing suggests that something is influencing how people perceive their luckiness. My hypothesis is that people create their own luck by traits such as optimism, that luck is a psychological phenomenon rather than a matter of blind chance,‖ said Professor Richard Wiseman, who led the research.
The pattern of the result, with those born in spring and in summer reporting themselves luckier than those born in autumn or winter, could have two potential explanations, Professor Wiseman said.3.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. 　Optimistic people tend to be luckier.

B. 　Devoted people tend to be luckier.

C. 　Objective success is more important than one‘s general disposition in feeling lucky.

D. 　People drinking more water tend to be luckier.

1、Passage 20Clifford Stoll ran a computer system in Berkelely, California. As a system administrator, he
kept a close eye on the records. One day, Stoll found something strange in the payment record.
There was a 75 cents mistake. One of the thousands of users had used the system for 75 worth of
time and not paid for it.
It might sound like very little money to worry about. But that 75 cents was the first clue Stoll
had to a much bigger problem — that a hacker（黑客）had broken into Stoll‘s computer system.
Who was it? Stoll spent the next year trying to find out. During that time the hacker used the
system in Berkelely as a starting point to break into military computer systems all over the United
States.
Stoll had to keep track of the hacker‘s activities on the computer without the hacker‘s
knowing someone was watching him. Stoll even made up huge files of false information so the hacker would have lots to read. When the hacker spent long time reading, the telephone company
was able to trace the lines. After a year, the hacker was traced back to his computer — in
Germany. He was later caught by the German police.3. Stoll was concerned about a 75 cents mistake because ________.

A. 　every cent was important to the company

B. 　it might lead to a greater loss for the company

C. 　he was afraid the computer system might break down some day

D. 　he realized someone had broken into the computer system

1、Passage 6Community service is an important component of education here at our university. We
encourage all students to volunteer for at least one community activity before they graduate. A
new community program called ―One On One‖ helps elementary students who‘ve fallen behind.
Your education majors might be especially interested in it because it offers the opportunity to do
some teaching, that is, tutoring in Math and English.
You‘d have to volunteer two hours a week for one semester. You can choose help a child with
Math, English, or both. Half-hour lesson are fine, so you could do a half hour of each subject two

Professor Dodge will act as a mentor to the tutors ---- he‘ll be available to help you with
lesson plans or to offer suggestions for activities. He has office hours every Tuesday and Thursday
afternoon. You can sign up for the program with him and begin the tutoring next week.
