Less is more. This is why we say reduce things by half instead of doubling them, get rid of junks instead of piling them up, slow down instead of 48 .
When you concentrate on one task, you find you have 49 that you didn’t even know you had. The pressure at work is on the rise. In the past, the expectations were 50 among all the family members. But now, in the 51 family, the expectations are now concentrated on the individual(个体) partner.

A
There was a gardener who looked after his garden with great care .To water his flowers, he used two buckets(水桶) .One was a shiny and new bucket. The other was a very old and dilapidated one，which had seen many years of service, but was now past its best.
Every morning, the gardener would fill up the two buckets. Then he would carry them along the path, one on each side, to the flowerbeds. The new bucket was very proud of itself. It could carry a full bucket of water without a single drop spilled (溢出). The old bucket felt very ashamed because of its holes: before it reached the flowerbeds, much water had leaked (漏出) along the path.
Sometimes the new bucket would say,“ See how capable I am ! How good it is that the gardener has me to water the flowers every day! I don't know why he still bothers with you. What a waste of space you are!”
And all that the old bucket could say was. “ I know I am not very useful, but I can only do my best. I am happy that the gardener still finds a little bit of use in me, at least.”
One day, the gardener heard that kind of conversation .After watering the flowers as usual, he said , “You both have done your work very well .Now I am going to carry you back .I want you to look carefully along the path.”
Then the two buckets did so. All along the path, they noticed, on the side where the new bucket was carried, there was just bare（光秃秃的）earth; on the other side where the old bucket was carried, there was a joyous row of wild flowers, leading all the way to the garden.
56. What was the old bucket ashamed of?
A. His past. B. His aging. C. His manner. D. His leaking.
57. What does the underlined word “dilapidated” probably mean?

58.The new bucket made conversations with the old one mainly to _________.
A. take pity on the old one B. laugh at the old one
C. show off its beautiful looks D. praise the gardener’s kindness
59. Why was the old bucket still kept by the gardener?
A. Because it was used to keep a balance
B. Because it stayed in its best condition
C. Because it had its own function
D. Because it was taken as a treasure

When Peng Liyuan stepped off the plane in Moscow, the whole world wanted to know who dressed the elegant first lady．The reporter released the secret―Ma Ke．
Peng Liyuan has been wearing Ma Ke’s designs for more than a decade，a fact that was only highlighted recently when she was on her first state visit，accompanying her husband President Xi Jinping．The elegant and attractive Peng，formerly a popular singer, has been compared with the US’ first lady Michelle Obama and France’s Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, since stepping off the airplane in Moscow on March 22．Suddenly, everyone was curious to know more about the first lady’s wardrobe(衣橱)．
Even so，Ma prefers a low key approach．“If you eat a tasty egg why would you want to see the hen?” she says．
Ma’s relationship with Peng began 10 years ago after a concert in Guangzhou when a reporter told Peng she knew the designer behind the label Exception de Mixmind．Peng asked for an introduction because she was a fan of Ma’s designs and had been wearing them for years．
The two naturally became friends．Ma says：“The painting reflects the painter, and clothes reflect both the designer and the wearer．Someone desires fame and wealth，or love and sympathy；what you have in your heart is reflected in the design．Those who don’t share my philosophy won’t buy my clothes．Peng is a caring person，devoted to charity and environmental protection，which is exactly what I’m doing now．”
However, regardless of the brand，Peng’s support of Chinese labels has surprised millions of Chinese who favor foreign fashion brands．
“Instead she presented a vision of Chinese fashion，desiring to bring Chinese designers to the world stage，”says a western designer．
The first lady’s double-breasted coat and her black leather handbag aren’t available at any of Exception’s shops，though Exception’s physical stores do have seen a rising number of visitors．
64. What does the underlined word in paragraph 1 mean?
A.opened B. invented C. forecast D.hid
65. In the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 Ma Ke mentioned “an egg and the hen” to show ______．
A. it is hard to explain“ Which came first，the egg or the hen?”
B. the designer is more important than the design
C. paying such great attention to her was unnecessary
D. her satisfaction with the media attention on her dress
66. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. First ladies compete with each other whenever they are together.
B. Peng’s suits can be bought in Ma Ke’s clothes stores
C Ma Ke’s opinions are totally different from Peng’s
D Peng had liked Ma’s designs long before they met each other.
67. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Peng wears the dress designed by a Chinese designer probably to support Chinese brands.
B. Many citizens found Peng Liyuan’s choice quite unexpected.
C. Black leather handbags like Peng’s are widely sold in bag stores in big cities.
D. After Peng Liyuan’s visit to Moscow Ma Ke’s clothes became more popular
D
If you haven’t already, you too should switch to the latest eco-friendly, energy-efficient, energy-saving LED (Light Emitting Diode) lighting. As the world becomes more focused on green issues, everyone should do their part in practicing energy efficiency, recycling, cutting down their CO2 emissions and much, much more. One of the most successful campaigns that started in Australia is the now world-famous“Earth Hour”. 2.2 million of Sydney’s residents turned off their lights for an hour in a mass attempt to save energy. The following year, the same idea was adopted by a whole host of different cities.
This is a great example of a campaign to promote eco-friendly options and energy efficiency. But while it clearly raises awareness, it is not a long-term solution to energy saving across the developed world. A long-term solution can be found in the form of switching to LED lighting rather than the traditional halogen lights(卤光灯) found in a typical home.
Put simply, LED lighting is the future of lighting. LED lamps use up only a fraction of the energy compared to that of regular lamps. They also produce a quality flicker-free light, and will last longer than a regular light with 50,000 hours being realistic. Not only are they longer lasting and more energy-efficient with no sacrifice in light quality, but they may quickly become a possible substitute (替代物) for regular lamps that have been previously installed by homes and businesses.
An ordinary 50 watt low-voltage halogen light on for 4 hours a day would cost $ 25 per year to run. With a life span of around 3,000 hours it will typically stop working at the two-year mark. Compared with the regular one, an LED light of 50 watts operating for the same period will cost roughly $ 6 per year to run and last 50,000 hours. That means it won’t have to be replaced for 24 years! It really is a no brainer to switch to energy-saving LED lighting. Plus, you will be doing your bit for the environment by becoming more eco-friendly.
68.“Earth Hour”is held in the world every year in order to .
A.ask people to generate more energy for daily use
B.call on people to use less energy as much as possible
C.remind people to remember the days without lights
D.advise people to have a good rest after working hard
69. How should we save energy according to the author?
A.Raise public awareness. B.Turn off the lights.
C.Hold“Earth Hour”. D.Use LED lights.
70. It can be inferred from the third paragraph that LED lamps .
A.are more expensive that regular ones
B.will take the place of regular lamps completely
C.might be used by more homes in the future
D.use up more energy and give out more light
71.The underlined phrase in the last paragraph“no brainer”probably means a thing that .
A.needs no consideration. B.needs deep study
C.changes with others D.connects with others

If Confucius were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake，there would be a lot of candles．He’d need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out．
While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day，few people in the United States will give him a passing thought．It’s nothing personal．Most Americans don’t even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes．
But this doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confucius．In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China．
In the past two decades，the Chinese study programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities．More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries．These schools teach both Chinese language and culture．The main courses of Chinese culture usually included Chinese art，history and philosophy．Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the old Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Westerners philosophy．Students in the United States，at the same time，are racing to learn Chinese．So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States．Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers．
So the old thinker’s ideas are still alive and well．
Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West．
As for the old thinker，he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West，even if his birthday is．
72. The first paragraph is mainly intended to_________．
A. provide some key facts about Confucius
B. prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations
C. show great respect for the old thinker
D. attract the readers’ interest in the subject
73．The reason why few Americans remember Confucius on his birthday is probably that______．
A. they don’t care about Confucius at all．
B. they consider their own national heroes more important．
C. he has become a bridge between foreigners and China.
D. they don’t pay much attention to the birthdays of famous people．
74. We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students________．
A. were not interested in Chinese studies before
B. take an active part in Chinese competitions
C. have a great interest in studying Chinese
D. hope to make money in China
75. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Old Thinker with a Big Future B. Huge Fans of the Chinese Language
C. Chinese Culture for Westerners D. Forgotten Wisdom in America

Dear Tom,
I’ve received your letter and thanks for your concern.
Recently the hazy weather has hit many places in China, causing quantities of serious problems. For a start, the hazy weather is harmful to people’s health and daily life. Many people find it difficult to breathe so they have to wear masks. What’s worse, more traffic jams have happened and quite a few flights have to be put off.
The hazy weather in China has been caused by many factors. The severely polluted environment contributes a lot to this nightmare.
In my opinion, we should call on people to use more public transport, thus reducing the number of cars in the streets. Besides, we have to raise people’s awareness of environmental protection. Only if every single person makes contributions to protecting the environment, will we have a more cleaner and beautiful planet.
Best wishes
Yours，
LiHua
