But just as in face to face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line. 36 Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes. For anything you’re about to send: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the person’s face?” If the answer is no, rewrite and reread. 37 ( If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct (本能) is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so.38 If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room. 39 Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether it’s a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If it’s a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesn’t give you license to correct everyone else. 40 At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended. It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex and marital status. Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don’t ask such questions. A. It’s natural that there some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online. B. Repeat the process till you feel sure that you’d feel comfortable saying the words to the person’s face. C. Everyone was new to the network once. D. The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated. E. When you send short messages to a person online, you must say something beautiful to hear. F. You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages. G. If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely. Passage 2 We are humans，and we all make mistakes. The mistakes that we make are not usually on purpose，whether it is breaking a vase，or not completing a task. 71 This article will provide you with ideas as to what to do once a mistake has been made. Admit that you make a mistake as soon as you discover it. Delaying it longer will only make you feel worse，or may drive you toward making the wrong decision to try and cover it up. 72 Do not play the“blame game"(Most people are smart enough to realize that this is just a poor attempt to protect yourself. Perhaps you gave a task to another person and it was never completed. But is it really the entire fault of the person you gave the task to or is it partially your fault for not following up? Keep this in mind before placing the blame on someone else. 73 Maybe you broke your mother's favorite vase，or even forgot a friend's birthday. Just an apology can sometimes be viewed as a“quick fix"，and apologizing and asking to be forgiven gives the person opportunity to forgive you. Offer some compensation(补偿)for loss，damage，or injury caused. 74 By doing this，it may soften the blow to the person we've disappointed. Learn from your mistakes. In the case of a job or a task，write a“to-do" list with the deadline before leaving the meeting. As for forgetting a birthday， put the birthday on an electronic calendar for next year. Do better next time. 75We should try to understand what happened and try to make sure that it won't happen again. A. Take responsibility. B. Never repeat your mistakes. C. Apologize and ask for forgiveness. D. People’s faith in us can reduce quickly. E. So sometimes it is necessary to write a letter to say sorry. F. But not everyone knows how to admit making a mistake. G. Offer to immediately complete the late task or pay for the vase. Passage 3 Five tips to help you stop smoking 16. Make a promise, set a date and stick to it. Don’t be put off by a wedding, party or other time when you normally smoke. 17. Is your after-dinner cigarette your favorite? A new American study has showed that some foods including meat make cigarettes more satisfying. Others including cheese, fruit and vegetables make cigarettes taste terrible. So swap your usual steak or burger for a veggie pizza instead. 18. The same study looked at drinks. Fizzy(泡沫腾涌的)drinks, alcohol, cola, tea and coffee all make cigarettes taste better. So when you’re out, drink more water and juice. Some people find that simply changing their drink (for example, switching from wine to a vodka and tomato juice ) affects their need to reach for a cigarette. 19. If your friends or family members want to give up too, suggest to them that you should give up together. Also, there are your local NHS stop-smoking services and the NHS Smoking Helpline, available on 0800 0224332 ( 7 am to 11 pm daily). 20. Keep reminding yourself of why you give up smoking. Make a list of the reasons and read it when you need support. Ex- smokers Chris, 28, says, “ I used to take a picture of my baby daughter with me when I went out. If I was tempted (引诱) , I’d look at that.” A. Make a list. B. Change your diet. C. Get some support. D. Change your drink. E. Make a plan to give up.

No one wants to regret not doing something they could have done( Successful students manage their time well by setting up weekly timetable.

D(You will be proud of yourself when you achieve success( E(Each time you complete a lesson, do something special for yourself( F(When you set your goals，make sure that your goals are specific and realistic( G(They arrive at the classroom early and sit in the front( Passage 5 Many schools require yearly parent-teacher conferences for all students. 16 The list below is to help teachers prepare themselves for these often difficult conferences. 17 When you have students who are struggling in either their academics or their behaviour, you should communicate with their parents using notes or phone calls. Come to the conference well-prepared. If the students are having a hard time with their work, show the parents their grades and samples of their work. 18 If the student is misbehaving, then you should make detailed notes of their behaviour before the conference. Bring these notes to the conference so that parents can understand how their children are behaving. 19 For example, you might say something about their creativity, their handwriting, their sense of humour, or make some other comment. Instead of restating the problems you have already discussed, end with a comment that offers hope for the future. You could say something like, “Thanks for meeting with me today. I know that working together we can help Johnny succeed.” Some teachers may have to deal with an angry parent at some point. 20 Much anger can be avoided if the parents are informed. Don’t get excited yourself and make sure you avoid shouting. A. Communicating with parents before a conference is necessary. B. Try to think of something nice to say about the students that have problems. C. At the end of the conference, you should make a conclusion. D. A parent-teacher conference can have a huge impact on a student’s work and behaviour. E. Remember to thank the parents for coming to the conference and working with you. F. Remember that the best way to solve this is to keep parents informed every step of the way. G. It is easier for parents to understand the problem if they can actually see examples of their children’s work. Passage 6 It is necessary as well as important that teenagers learn how to save money.

Most major-league players strike out far more than they hit. Even so, they keep trying. 2. 37 . Many of us (especially the shy) use email to put our best ideas forward, but that’s not nearly as effective as doing it in person or, if necessary, on the phone. “You have your voice working for you, and you can be far more responsive(回应) to any questions the other person may have,” Mattson says. 3. Listen 70% of the time, and talk 30%. “In the sales world there’s a saying: 38 .” Mattson says. “Top salespeople don’t persuade others.

Mattson recommends repeating your idea six times before presenting it to decision-makers. “The first one or two times, you’ll still be figuring out how you want to put it,” he says. “By the sixth time, you’re usually speaking with certainty and confidence.” 5. Get others to weigh in. “Successful selling isn’t ‘I’, it’s ‘we’,” So include their suggestions in your idea.” Not only Mattson says. “ 40 will that probably make the idea even better, but you’ll still get the credit for having gotten the ball rolling.

As a good communicator should be a good listener, five steps are advocated toward good listening. The first step is cooperating. How does a difficult person know that you’re listening and understanding? In fact, it’s through the way you look and sound while he is talking. 17 When the person begins to repeat what’s been said, it’s signal of step two: turning back. 18 Send a clear signal that you’re listening carefully and that you think what he is saying is important. Having heard what he has to say, the next step is clarifying. At this point, you start to gather information about what is being communicated. 19 The fourth step is to summarize(概括)what you’ve heard. 20 Having listened carefully, you’ve now arrived at the point of confirming with the person that he feels that his thoughts have been fully voiced. Ask if he feels understood. When enough sincere listening, questioning, and remembering are brought together, understanding is usually achieved and a difficult person becomes less difficult and more cooperative. F. Ask some open-ended questions, which will allow you to figure out what intention he is hoping to satisfy. G. This allows you to make sure that both you and the difficult person are on the same page. C. It means that you repeat back some words he is using. D. When difficult people express themselves orally, they generally want at least two things: E. When you communicate with who have difficulty expressing themselves, they need your help. F. Giving clear signals tell him that you have understood him completely. G. You do this by nodding your head in agreement, making certain sounds of understanding. Passage 2 For more than six million American children, coming home after school means coming to an empty house. 36_______ Some may hide. But all of them have something in common. They spend part of each day alone. They are called latchkey children. They are children who look after themselves while their parents work. 37_______ Lynette Long was once the headmaster of an elementary school. She said, “We had a school rule against wearing jewelry. A lot of kids had chains around their necks with keys attached. I was constantly telling them to put them inside shirts. There were so many keys. It never came to my mind what they meant.” 38________ She and her husband began talking to the children who had them. They learned of the impact working couples and single parents were having on their children. 39 _______ One in every three latchkey children the Logs talked to reported being scared. Many had nightmares and were worried about their own safety. The most common way latchkey children deal with their fears is by hiding. 40 ________ The second is TV. They’ll often play it at high volume. It’s hard to get statistics(情况)on latchkey children, the Longs learned. Most parents are slow to admit they leave their children alone. A.

Some go to their friends or their relatives. F. And their bad condition has become a subject of concern. G. It might be in a shower stall, under a bed or in a closet. Passage 3 The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we’ve never been before. But just as in face-to-face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line. 36 Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes. For anything you’re about to send: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the 37 person’s face?” If the answer is no, rewrite and reread. If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct (本能) is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so. 38 If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room. 39 Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether it’s a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If it’s a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesn’t give you license to correct everyone else. 40 At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended. It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex and marital status. Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don’t ask such questions. A. It’s natural that they’re some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online. B. Repeat the process till you feel sure that you’d feel comfortable saying the words to the person’s face. C. Everyone was new to the network once. D. The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated. E. When you send short messages to a person online, you must say something beautiful to hear. F. You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages. G. If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely. Passage 4 Most of life is habitual. You do the same things you did yesterday, the day before and every day for the last month. 36 The key is controlling them. If you know how to change your habits, then even a small effort can create big changes. Here are some tips to get you started: One Habit For 30 Days You focus on one change for thirty days. 37 I’ve used this as the basis for most of my habit changes. It definitely works to sculpt(使成形)the automatic programs that run in the background of your mind. Replace Lost Needs If you opened up your computer and started removing hardware, what would happen? Chances are that your computer wouldn’t work. 38 Giving up television might mean you need to find a new way to relax or get information. Write it Down Don’t leave commitments(承诺)in your brain. 39 This does two things. First, it makes it clear what your change means. Second, it keeps you committed since it is easy to dismiss a thought, but harder to dismiss a promise printed in front of you. Balance Feedback The difference between long-term change and giving up one day 31 is the balance of feedback. If your change creates more pain in your life than joy, it is going to be hard to stick to. 40__ Find diets, exercise, financial plans and work routines that are fun to follow and support you. A. Write them on paper. B. Habits, good or bad, make you who you are. C. Make a public commitment to everyone you know that you’re going to stick with it. D. Make sure your habit is not always changed. E. Don’t go to the gym if you hate it. F. Similarly, you can’t just pull out habits without replacing the needs they fulfill. G. After that time it has been sufficiently conditioned to become a habit. Passage 5 A(Use the success of others as a mirror( B(Learn to appreciate others' shining points C(How to get rid of the harmful effects of comparison needs exploring( D(However, there is no doubt that good luck can't be ignored( E(Instead, you should fad out what's really going on behind the scenes F(And once we become aware of what we value, we are much better positioned to create a richly satisfying life G(When we reflect on these questions, we shift immediately out of comparison mode and turn inwards( Passage 6 On Punctuality A punctual man is in the habit of doing everything at the proper time and is never late in keeping an appointment.

More than one-third are in such bad shape that they could die within ten years. 16 Here are the three main causes discovered. The first cause is pollution on land. The pollutants run with rainwater into rivers and streams, which carry the poisons into the ocean. 17 So they will be easily infected(感染) with diseases. 18 Higher ocean temperatures kill the important food source(来源) for the coral—the algae, the tiny greenish-gold water plants that live on coral. 19 This process has happened more and more frequently in recent years. The last factor contributing to the disappearance of coral reefs is people. People sometimes crash into reefs with their boats, breaking off large blocks of coral. 20 Moreover, some people even break coral off to collect for souvenirs since it is so colorful and pretty. A. Global warming is another reason. B. Many might not even last that long! C. Divers who walk on reefs can also do serious damage. D. Reefs provide a home for 25% of the fish in the ocean. E. Chemicals from the poisons kill reefs or make them weak. F. Steps must be taken now to stop over-fishing and pollution of the oceans. G. When the algae die, the coral loses its color and it also dies in the end. Passage 2 There are all sorts of good sensible reasons to avoid getting angry. Not only does it make us feel bad, it also makes us do stupid things without noticing the risks and it can be self-destructive ( 毁坏性的). ___ 16____ But like all emotions, anger has its purposes, which can be used for good effects. Anger is a motivating force. In fact anger itself is a kind of positive energy and a powerful motivating force. ___17 When we see something as beneficial, we want it more when we are angry. So, when used right, constructive anger can make us feel strong and powerful and help push us on to get what we want. 18 It may sound like a strange thing to say, but angry people have something in common with happy people. That's because both tend to expect favorable results. By comparison those experiencing more fear are more pessimistic (悲观 的) about the future and expect further terrors. Anger can benefit relationships. Society tells us anger is dangerous and we should hide it .The problem is that when we hide our anger, our partner doesn't know he's done something wrong. And so he keeps doing it. 19 The expression of anger, if reasonable and aimed at finding a solution, can actually benefit and strengthen relationships. Anger provides self-understanding. Anger can also provide understanding into ourselves, if we allow it. Getting angry leads to a positive outcome. Anger help discover our own faults. If we can notice when we get angry and why, then we can learn what to do to improve our lives. 20 A. And that doesn't do our relationship any good. B. Anger can turn us on and thus push on towards our goals in the face of problems and barriers. C. Anger reduces violence. D. Angry people are more optimistic. E. Most of us treat our anger as though it's unreasonable, unshowable and unmentionable. F. That's because it's a very strong social signal that a situation needs to be solved. G. Anger can encourage self-change. Passage 3 16 A team gets better. A kid practices more and swims a personal best or learns a new move on the basketball court. In 2006, two things happened that got me thinking about change—in sports and in life. 17 Agassi was a terrific player who won 60 titles, including eight major championships. But his greatest accomplishment might have been how much he changed during his career. When he was young, Agassi was a showoff who seemed to care only about himself. He didn’t train very hard, but he won matches because of his tremendous talent. 18 He fell from No.1 in the world ranking to No.141. So Agassi changed. He trained harder and become a world-class player again. 19 He was nicer to fans and opponents. He stopped thinking just about himself and started thinking about others. Through his Andre Agassi Charitable Foundation, he raised more than $60 million to help disadvantaged kids around his hometown of Las Vegas, Nevada. He even started a school, the Andre Agassi College Preparatory Academy, for at-risk kids. 20 But they do happen. Just remember Andre Agassi. It wasn’t easy, but he changed, and changed for the better. A. More important, he changed as a person. B. Finally, everyone should remember that being an excellent player is a tough job. C Changes such as those can be difficult. D. Sports are all about change. E. Eventually, though, injuries and his bad attitude caught up with him. F. One of them is tennis champion Andre Agassi, who retired in 2006 G. What Agassi needed to learn was that he should train harder and perform better. Passage 4 Building Soccer in America : Three stories of struggle and Success 16 He was the top new player, or rookie(新手) of the year, in 1998. His young professional career reached a high point the next season. D.C. United won the M.L.S. Cup, the league championship, on the strength of a Most Valuable Player performance by Olsen. He scored one of two goals for his team in the game against the Los Angeles Galaxy. Ben Olsen looks back on his score in that championship as his most memorable thing. “ 17 ” Like many top American soccer players, Olsen played overseas. He joined the club Nottingham Forest in Britain. He says different leagues have different styles of play. 18 Some teams are more possession oriented, meaning a little bit more low pressure on the ball and more skillful players. England has always been known to be a fast and physical league.” Olsen was also a part of the United States World Cup team of 2006. 19 Ben Olsen has had five operations for severe ankle injuries. Still, he had one of his best years in 2007. He scored seven goals including a “hat trick” three in one game. He was recognized for his outstanding play with an M.L.S. Best Eleven award. He accepted the award in a wheelchair after a minor operation. Ben Olsen retired after the 2009 season. He had a great career as a professional player. Today he is an assistant coach with D.C. United. 20 A. I prefer playing overseas. B. Some teams are very fast and athletic. C. He is passing on his knowledge as a coach with D.C. United. D. Ben Olsen was an important part of D.C. United’s early success. E. D.C. United is one of the top teams in the American soccer league. F. He says playing for his country was something he will never forget. G.

For a child that likes being alone，set aside a corner of his bedroom，but keep it separate from things like games，music and other hobbies not related to studying. ?Keeping Things in Order Parents should encourage their child to spread out，but to leave it neat and orderly when he isn't using his workspace. Ownership is very important for self?respect __18__ The workplace should be personal，but not another part of the playroom. ?__19__ Encourage the whole family to help build a supportive environment that children need for success in school.

Passage 6 Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer. ___16___ Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger. For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones (荷尔蒙). They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc. ___17___ Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure. __18___ They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “___19___ Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.” Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. ___20___ A. In general the person feels excited and ready to act B. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger. C. Expressing anger violently is more harmful than repressing it D. Anger may cause you a cancer. E. Do not express your anger while angry. F. Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. G.

Passage 2 36 The answer is that the government needs money for many things, for example to pay its army, to build public facilities and to buy goods from abroad, and only the people of the country can supply the money. 37 That is, a person pays according to the amount of his income. Whether he is a merchant, a doctor, a lawyer, a shopkeeper, a miner, or anything else, he must pay tax if his income is more than a certain amount. This is called a “direct” tax, because it is paid in money direct to the government. Another tax is paid on goods such as watches, jewelry, tobacco, wine, etc. When they are brought into a country, such a tax is paid as part of the price of these goods if they are later sold in shops. 38 People usually complain about having to pay taxes, but they forget that the money is spent on things that they and their families need. We need policemen to catch thieves, and they must be paid what they earn; children need education and there must be schools and teachers; we want our streets to be kept clean, and the wages of men who do this kind of work have to be paid. 39 And we cannot have an army without paying for it. 40 We have no real cause to complain when we are asked to pay taxes for the good of ourselves and for our fellow citizens. A. Why must we pay taxes? B. Why do people often complain? C. Taxes, therefore, cannot be avoided. D. Taxes, however, should be cancelled. E. One of the most important taxes is income tax. F.

Furthermore, driving a camping car during one’s travels and sleeping in the vehicle at night is just like home -- only mobile! And how about keeping relationships while in transit? ____38___; some send letters and postcards, or even photos; others may just call and say hi, just to let their friends know that they’re still alive and well. People find ways to keep in touch. Making friends on the way helps travelers feel more or less at home. 39 . Nowadays, fewer people are working in their local towns, so how do they develop a sense of belonging? Whenever we step out of our local boundaries, there is always another “home” waiting to be found. ___ 40____, we can make the place we stay “home”. A.

As a teacher, she works hard. 36 Both my brother and I love her dearly as she loves us. My mother has been teaching math at a middle school in my hometown. She goes to work early in the morning and does not return home until late in the afternoon. 37 She treats them with patience and teaches them well. For her excellent quality and very good teaching results, she has been elected as a model teacher several times. 38 Every day, when she comes back home from work, she sets about doing housework, sweeping the living room and bedrooms or cleaning the furniture, and putting everything in good order. She seems to be busy all the time. As she has been very busy working every day, she looks older than her age. But she looks as cheerful and happy as ever. Mother never buys expensive dresses for herself, but she often buys some inexpensive but high quality clothes for us.39 She just eats a plain meal outside when she is too busy to cook herself. She lives a busy yet simple life, without any complaints. Often she says to us, “work while you work, and play while you play. That is the way to be happy and gay. If you do not work, you will become lazy and be of no use to society”. What a piece of good advice this is! 40 This advice of hers will always serve as a guide to my behavior. My mother is great indeed, and I always feel proud of her. A. She enjoys listening to classic music. B. As a mother, she takes good care of us and gives us every comfort. C.

Passage 6 Helping Students Find Their Writing Voices One of the most frustrating things for writing teachers is reading papers that simply lack style. When all of the research has been completed and all of the sentences are structured well, but the paper still lacks some pizzazz(活 力)，it can be boring to grade. If you are searching for ways to help your students find their voices, why not try making students themselves the topic of the writing? 36 Who are you? One of the most difficult questions for students to answer is “Who are you?” _ 37__ In doing this, through writing, students will start to see their personalities differently and, hopefully, be able to add a feature to their writing. Dear John 38 Encourage them to write to a famous person they’ve always admired, and then the one they absolutely hate. Explore how their language changes between the two letters. When students know their audiences, it is much easier for them to add the kind of personality their audience wants to see( 39 When students write about what matters most to them, they will often give you the best writing you’ve ever seen. You’ll get those when you ask questions that hit home. When students have something to say about a given topic, it can be easier for them to get their ideas down and then work on their writing style. Get the words on paper, and then edit them The most valuable lesson students can learn is to write first, and edit later. Have students write for five minutes about their topics. If they can get their ideas down on paper, that’s 90% of the battle. 40 This can help them realize that, once they have the ideas down, the rest is just fine tuning(微调). Once they have this skill mastered, it’s easy for them to start adding their own personal voices to their papers. A.What matters to you? B. What style is taught in class? C. When they write about themselves, students’ voices often shine through. D. Writing letters is a great way for students to explore their writing style. E. Have your students explore who they are and what makes them unique. F. Voice is that magical quality which is able to make a creative writing idea sing! G. After that, have them edit these ideas into a really strong introductory paragraph. Passage 7 ____36____When a starving man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat; when an executive gets a new sports car, visions of country clubs and pleasure beats dance into view. The many wants of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. ____37____. The first and most basic level of wants involves food. Once this want is satisfied, a second level of wants appears: clothing and some sort of shelter. By the end of World War II these wants were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. ____38____It included such items as automobiles and new houses. By 1957 or 1958 this third level of wants was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s a fourth level of wants appeared: the “life-enriching” level. While the other levels involve physical satisfaction,the feeding, comfort, safety, and transportation of the human body,this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called “luxury” items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical care, and entertainment. ____39____ On this level, a greater percentage of consumer spending goes to services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level? A fifth level probably would involve wants that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime and prejudice. ____40____In this way, we can enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels. A. Then a third level appeared. B. Different people have different wants on each level. C. There are several levels of wants in one’s life. D. When there is money enough to satisfy one level of wants, another level appears E. At this stage, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure. F. Also included here are fancy foods and the latest styles in clothing. G. Human wants seem endless. x高考英语-阅读七选五集训(八)答案 Passage 1:36-40 GDBEA Passage 2:36-40 AEFGC Passage 3:36-40 DGAFC Passage 4:36-40 DBFCG Passage 5:36-40 BCEDF Passage 6:36-40 CEDAG Passage 7:36-40 GDAFE
