On this evening, however, she was standing at her living-room window, staring out at the SOLD notice in the small front garden. Her feelings were mixed. Of course, she was sad at the thought of leaving the house, as it was full of so many memories. But at the same time she was looking forward to spending her last years near the sea, back in the little seaside town where she had been born. With the money from the sale of the house, she had bought a little apartment there. She turned from the living room window, and looked round at the walls. There was a small fish tank, with two goldfish in it. When asked why, her husband used to say, “It’s nice to have something alive in the room.” Since he had passed away, she had always kept some goldfish, had always had “something alive in the room.”
The next morning, as her train was pulling out of the station, Mrs. Robson called to her daughter, “Kate, you won’t forget to collect the goldfish, will you? The children will love them. It’s …” “I know,” Kate interrupted gently, “It’s nice to have something alive in the room.”

Then one day I learnt that he had another car in his garage. In the afternoon he would come home 24 work, leave his taxi and go out for his 25 affairs in his other car, not in his taxi. I felt it was 26 .
I was curious to see his personal car but did not make it until I 27 to be outside one evening two weeks 28 ,when the garage door was 29 and he drove out in his “own” car: a Rolls-Royce（劳斯莱斯）! It shook me completely 30 I realized what that meant. You see, he was a taxi driver. But 31 inside, he saw himself as something else: a Rolls-Royce owner and a（n）32 .

We go to bed every night and 35 every morning as parents or children, not as bankers, CEOs or professors. We go for a 36 as close friends or go for a vacation as a 37 . We love life as it is. Yet often, we base our entire happiness and success on how high we 38 the social ladder—how much bigger and better a 39 we have. And we ignore our Rolls-Royce, by keeping it dusty in our garage. We should focus more on 40 we are than what we do!

Many studies have shown that teenagers who have no friends often suffer from psychological disorders. It has been shown that teenagers, perhaps more than any other age group, need companionship and a sense of belonging. The negative consequences of loneliness have also been observed among the elderly. The death of a spouse often leaves a widow or a widower totally bereft (失去). If, however, they are surrounded by friends and relatives and if they are able to articulate（清楚表达） their feelings, they are more likely to recover from their grief.
“No man is an island.” In other words, we are all parts of society. We all need the love, admiration, respect and moral support of other people. If we are fortunate, our friends will provide us with all of these necessary aspects of life.
As most people observe, there are many levels of friendship. The degree or intensity of friendship varies depending on the personality of the individuals involved and the context of the relationships. Extroverts (性格外向者) enjoy being surrounded by many people whereas introverts（性格内向者）are perhaps content with fewer but more intense friendships.
Everyone is not equally open with all their friends. The degree of intimacy (密切) is determined by many factors. Close friends can be formed at any stage in one’s life but they are usually very rare. Not very many people have more than a few really close friends. Irrespective of the level of intimacy, all friendships are based on reciprocity（相互性）, honesty and a certain amount of love and affection.
小题1:The second paragraph implies that _____..
| A．teenagers without friends will suffer from psychological problems |
| B．a widow or a widower will die very soon without companionship |
| C．human beings need companionship and a sense of belonging |
| D．both A and B |
| A．age | B．belonging | C．personality | D．culture |
| A．can be easily formed when one is young |
| B．cannot be long-lasting |
| C．are not rare for everyone |
| D．are rare for most people |
| A．not respecting | B．dishonoring | C．regardless | D．Considering |
Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time, both worth your 44 ．You can only take up one of them, the other has to wait or be 45 up．
But you know the future is unpredictable—the changed situation may not allow you to do what is left 46 ．Thus you are 47 in a difficult position and feel sad．How 48 that nice chances and brilliant ideas should gather around all at once? It may happen that your life 49 greatly on your preference of one choice to the other．
In fact that is what 50 is like: we are often 51 with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both desirable like a newspaper cutting．It often occurs that your attention is drawn to one thing only 52 we get into another．The 53 may be more important than the latter and give rise to divided mind．I 54 remember a philosopher"s remarks: "When one door shuts, another opens in life．" So a casual 55 may not be a bad one．

Three years after getting their degree, most graduates are still not earning above the average salary. They have a near 50 percent tax burden, thanks to student loan repayments and council tax on top of income tax and national insurance. Unless you have parents who can afford to finance what is effectively a second home for them, returning to the parental nest is often the only affordable option.
The boomerang effect is becoming even more pronounced thanks to the recession. One in four of those losing their job during the downturn is under 25. Only 13 percent of final-year students have jobs. Home is the only place many are going: 111,000 16-29 year olds moved back home in 2008, five times the average of previous years.
Boomeranging is bad news. It poses serious problems for parents" finances. They"ve already supported their children through university, topping up loans with handouts, averaging ￡12,300 in total, to keep twenty somethings afloat. Now their retirement savings are being eaten away by continuously dependent children.
It’s bad for the returning kids too. Ambitious young people will be left frustrated, seeing their university peers from more wealthy backgrounds excel only because parents" money was there to support them through the initial period of poverty wages. Those living in rural areas are further disadvantaged by lack of access to cities where most new jobs are located. Half of all young people now feel they will not achieve their goals. Research by the Prince"s Trust reveals that one-quarter of all 16-25 year olds are regularly down or depressed. And depression does not help self-motivation, the very trait needed to seek out job opportunities.
