Hidden deep in the rainforests of an island in the Philippines, was an ethnic (种族的) _16_ called the Tasaday. Not until that moment did anyone have any _17_ of these people. They didnt have an agricultural economy; they hunted animals and _18_ fruit from the plants in the rainforest. They carried tools made of stone, lived in _19_ and wore clothes made of leaves. Unknown until 1971, they 20 became world famous. After that, there were TV 21 and books about them; people said their simple lives showed that human beings could be good and kind if they were not 22 by modern life. Then after 1974 the region was closed by the government and the world 23 about them.In 1986, a Swiss journalist, Oswald Iten, decided to visit the Tasaday. The journey _24_ thick rainforests and across rivers was hard and dangerous. Mr. Iten was 25 killed by the soldiers, villagers and businessmen who wanted to take the wood from the rainforest. Finally, Mr. Iten 26 and found the caves of the Tasaday 27 . The people were living in nearby huts and they were all 28 jeans and T-shirts, not leaves. He thought that perhaps they were not an ethnic minority 29 .When he 30 to Switzerland, Mr. Iten wrote about the Tasaday people in the newspapers. He said he thought that they were just ordinary farmers, poor, but not 31 from anyone else. He believed that in 1971, the government told “the Tasaday to 32 they were native people from thousands of years ago, so that tourists-and money-would start _33 into the region.One group of experts said that they really were people who had no 34 with modern life before 1971; another group said they were just 35 the part.

Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesnt matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.We all talk to ourselves sometimes. Were usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. But we really shouldnt be, because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.This “self-talk helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solves problems, and calm ourselves down. Beware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying, “Good job!Words possess power because of their lasting effects. Many of us regret something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it true? Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesnt pass this test, then its better left unsaid.Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem(自尊) and motive others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.36The author argues in the first paragraph that _.Awords will never hurt us at all Bwords have lasting effects on usCpositive effects last longer than negative effectsDnegative words last longer than positive effects37Why should we not feel embarrassed when talking to ourselves?AAlmost everybody has the habit of talking to oneself.BIt does harm to have “self-talk when we are alone.CTalking to ourselves helps us to solve all the problems.DTalking to ourselves is believed to be good for our health.38The underlined phrase “give ourselves a pat on the back in Paragraph 3 means _.Ablame ourselves    Bpunish ourselves Cpraise ourselves       Dtalk to ourselves39Which of the following statements would the author agree to?AIt is better to think twice before talking to others.BIt is impossible for unkind words to be forgotten.CWords always possess long positive effects.DKind words are sometimes not needed at all.BWASHINGTON Barack Obama swept to victory as the first black president in the US history Tuesday night in an electoral college landslide that overcame racial barriers as old as America itself. "Change has come," he told a huge group of cheering supporters.In his first speech as victor, Obama catalogued the challenges ahead. "The greatest of a lifetime," he said, "two wars, a planet in danger, the worst financial crisis in a century."He added, "There are many who won't agree with every decision or policy I make as president, and we know that government can't solve every problem. But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face."The son of a black father from Kenya and a white mother from Kansas, the Democratic senator from Illinois sealed his historic triumph by defeating Republican Sen. John McCain in a string of wins in hard-fought battleground states - Ohio, Florida, Virginia, Iowa and more.In his speech, Obama invoked (引用) the words of Lincoln and echoed John F. Kennedy."So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of service and responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in (努力投入) and work harder," he said.He and his running mate, Joseph Biden of Delaware, will take their oaths宣誓of office as president and vice president on Jan. 20, .Obama will move into the Oval Office as leader of a country that is almost certainly in recession (不景气), and fighting two long wars, one in Iraq, the other in Afghanistan.Obama has said his first order of presidential business will be to tackle the economy. He has also pledged to withdraw most US combat troops from Iraq within 16 months.40. What is special about Barack Obama, the newly-elected president of the United States?A. He has a black father and a white mother. B. He is the first black president in the US history. C. He defeated Republican Sen. John McCain easily. D. He will move into the White Palace on Jan. 20, .41. What Obama emphasized in his first speech were _. A. dangers B. wars C. challenges D. financial problems42. The first issue Obama will focus his attention on may probably be to _.A. withdraw most US combat troops from Iraq B. care for environmental protection C. declare two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan D. deal with the problems of economy43. According to the passage, Obamas attitude toward the challenges he faces is _. A. positive B. negative C. ambiguous D. worriedCIt is true that shyness can be a disadvantage socially for those who suffer from it seriously. I mean real shyness, not somebody who is simply quiet. Quiet people could be shy, but on the other hand, they may just be observing because they are unsure of you or others in your company. They may be capable of being extrovert (性格外向的) and sociable, but on some particular occasions, they are quiet.I have learnt from my experience that those who observe and listen more and talk less can gain a position of strength. This means that even a very shy person, the type who is reluctant to talk in company (在交际场合) , especially new company, can become a strong person in just about anything they choose. Remember, knowledge is power, and a shy introvert (性格内向的人) is in a better position to gain knowledge than an extrovert. Introverted people can give great attention to learning, and as good listeners they can take in an enormous amount from others. Over time, people can come to respect them far more than the extrovert who speaks a lot. Usually about themselves.What does it take , then for a very shy person to be that successful person they have always wanted to be ? They may only need one more thing to push themselves on their way. They need to dare themselves to take the leap; and when they do , they will probably find all the knowledge they have gained over the years will help them on their way to the top in their chosen field.44. What does the first paragraph mainly want to tell us?A. A person who is quiet may not be shy. B. A shy person may not be a calm one.C. Quiet people are usually doubtful. D. Shyness is sometimes a bad feature.45. The underlined word “reluctant in paragraph 2 probably means _.A. lazy B. careful C. eager D. unwilling46. According to the author, introverted people can be successful because they usually _.A. have a strong will B. talk less and show off lessC. learn more than extroverts D. have a good attitude to learning47. It can be learned from the last paragraph that “one more thing probably refers to _.A. energy B. courage C. quietness D. knowledgeDSports is not only physically challenging, but it can also mentally challenging. Criticism批评from coaches(trainers), parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create too much anxiety or stress for young athletes. Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological, and research has showed that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware(realize), at all times, that their feedback反应to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents and coaches criticisms to heart and find a flaw缺陷 in themselves.Coaches and parents should also be cautious(careful) that youth sport participation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In todays youth sport setting, young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game, many parents and coaches focus on(pay more attention to) the outcome and find fault with youngsters performances. Positive reinforcement should be provided in spite of the outcome. Research shows that positive reinforcement motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress(pressure), which can lead to burnout.48. According to the passage sport is positive for young people in that .A. it can help them learn more about societyB. it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselvesC. it enables them to find flaws in themselvesD. it can provide them with valuable experiences49. According to the passage parents and coaches should .A. help children to win every gameB. pay more attention to letting children enjoy sportsC. enable children to underst
