12．Dear John，
   My name is Amber and I want to share my story with you because what you've shared about life and positive energy has changed my life． This past year has been one of the hardest for me． I felt I was stuck in a position that had nothing to do with what I wanted to do with my life． In January，after two years of being together，my boyfriend left me．
    I read your blog every morning as I drink my coffee at work，but it wasn't until this March that I told myself"no more negativity"as you taught readers in your blog．
    Since then I've got into new habits at work to keep my energy positive．When people walk in the front door，I'm the first face they see，so I smile big when I say"good morning"to them，especially on Mondays． Instead of waiting for someone to ask me for help，I offer it with an open mind． The CEO noticed my change and offered me the executive assistant position that I wanted．
    One of the biggest things I've taken to heart from your blog is changing my perspective on my job． Yes，it was not an important position，but when I was passionate （熱情的）  about it，I could make my life fulfilling．
    All in all，I have to thank you somehow for having the passion to help others because it truly is inspiring to me． So thank you so much，John． My life has changed because your words pointed me in the right direction，Take care!
   Sincerely，
   Amber

12．The riches in the world are not found in the famous gold and diamond mines，where many men and women are digging for them．Most riches in the world are found in the cemeteries（墓地）and grave yards，buried with people's dreams，aspirations，and unfulfilled potential．Why is it so？
Countless men and women died without ever having the courage to follow their own paths．Maybe because they were afraid to violate some kinds of social norms，maybe because they were afraid to be alone，or maybe simply because they preferred to settle for the familiar．They went to the graves，with a song that would never be heard，a piece of poetry never be written，a dance step never be initiated and a heart full of dreams and aspirations，leaving behind a life full of potential yet no legacy．
Michael Jordan，one of the greatest athletes once said，‘‘I can fail，but I cannot afford not to try．"Life remains a beautiful journey if we learn to take that step and to work that path．Every challenge and defeat in the process becomes a light post that sharpens the vision and shapes the direction forward．
"In my world nothing goes wrong，"said the great Indian sage Nmaja Dhahta Majraj．We must learn to trust the greatness within all of us and know that each of as is here to bring our unique contribution to the universal monument．If each of us learns to dance to the music we only can hear，society as a whole will evolve naturally and spiritually toward love，peace and happiness，and will be void of jealousy，envy and discrimination．
And Henry David Thoreau would say，"If a man does not keep pace with his companions，that is because he hears a difierent drum．''And one truly believes that the path to success and happiness passes through the dancing to such a unique drumbeat．Therefore，do not die with the music still playing inside you．

51．What's the author's opinion on riches？A
A．They are people's dreams and aspirations．
B．They are the most important things in the world．
C．They are something we can't possess and dream of．
D．They are gold and diamonds which we can dig for in mines．
52．According to Paragraph 2，which one is NOT the reason why so many people died without sticking to their own paths？C
A．They were afraid to break the traditional norms．
B．They were used to what they were already familiar with．
C．They were afraid to hurt others and snffer setbacks．
D．They were afraid to be alone when making the dreams come true．
53．What does Michael Jordan mean by saying"I can fail，but I cannot afrord not to try"？B
A．Having a try is an easy thing we can do．
B．Trying something new will bring us benefits．
C．We should be careful if we want to have a try．
D．All people are not brave enough to experience something new．
54．Which word can best describe Nihaja Dhahta Majraj according to the passage？D
A．Brave．    B．Healthy．    C．Common．D．Self-confident．
55．How is the passage organized？D
A．Topic-Argument-Explanation
B．Topic-Examples-Conclusion
C．Introduction-Comparison-Discussion
D．Introduction-Explanatton-Examples．

3．In 1947 a group of famous people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an international festival of music，dance and theatre in Edinburgh．The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War．
  At the same time，the"Fringe"appeared as a challenge to the official festival．Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947，in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform，and they did so in a public house disused for years．
  Soon，groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University，and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge，Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theatre by little-known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh．

  A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971，and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150during August itself．In 2004there were 200places housing 1，695shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries．More than 1.25 million tickets were sold．

60．What was the purpose of Edinburgh Festival at the beginning？A．
A．To bring Europe together again．
B．To honor heroes of World War 11．
C．To introduce young theatre groups．
D．To attract great artists from Europe．
61．Why did some uninvited theatre groups come to Edinburgh in 1947？D．
A．They owned a public house there．
B．They came to take up a challenge．
C．They thought they were also famous．
D．They wanted to take part in the festival．
62．Who joined the"Fringe"after it appeared？B．
A．They owned a public house there
B．University students．
C．Artists from around the world．
D．Performers of music and dance．
63．We may learn from the text that Edinburgh Festival．D．
A．has become a non-official event
B．has gone beyond an art festival
C．gives shows all year round
D．keeps growing rapidly．

7．School Counseling（咨詢）
　　In our grandparents'time，it was unthinkable．In our parents'time，it was unusual and nobody spoke openly about counseling．These days，more and more schools are asking for this service and it is considered a necessity for most．Why is it？What has changed in the last fifty years to have made counseling at schools so important？
"One reason is that we expect schools to do more to protect their pupils than we did in the past，"says school counselor，Mike Hudson．"Also，our society doesn't work as well as it should．Many parents are either under pressure of work or face the economic problems of unemployment，while children are under more and more pressure to do well at school．Many pupils feel they are pushed to their limits by their parents and teachers．"
　　Most school children face some kind of relationship problem at some stage with family members，teachers or other pupils，so．it helps to have somebody to talk to．
　　From the pupil's point of view，it is easier to talk to a counselor in confidence rather than a family member or teacher．This solution is less embarrassing to pupils，who are not forced to face the person that they had problems with in the first place．They can calmly talk things through without arguments．
　　School counselors advise not only students but also their teachers and parents，and offer other services as well，such as deciding learning disabilities or assisting parents and guardians to make the correct decisions about their children's education．
　　Counselors can help students with problems ranging from the most serious，like a death in the family，to what an adult would consider really trivial，like an argument with a friend．
　　In a society that is becoming more and more stressful，this service is providing children with a supportive way to express their fear and worries．

47．Why is school counseling becoming important？C
A．Pupils are not well protected in school．
B．Parents can't help their children in learning．
C．Parents and pupils are under too much pressure．
D．The relationship between parents and schools is worse．
48．According to the passage，school counselorsD．
A．bear high pressure themselves
B．a(chǎn)re the guarantee of school success
C．have more responsibilities than teachers
D．a(chǎn)re more likely to be accepted when pupils have problems
49．The underlined word"trivial"in Para．5 probably meansA．
A．unimportant  
B．puzzling  
C．difficult  
D．urgent
50．What does the passage mainly talk about？B
A．The development of school counseling．
B．The reasons for school counseling's popularity．
C．The advantages and disadvantages of school counseling．
D．The comparison of the past and present school counseling．
