A great many people are disappointed because of unrealistic expectations.
Walking up to a department store’s cloth counter, a(n)  36 young woman said,“I want to buy this material for a new dress. How much does it cost?”
“Only one  37 per yard,” replied the smirking (自鸣得意的) male clerk.
Not to be 38   back by the funny words, the woman said,” That’s fine! I’ll take ten yards.”
With 39written all over his face, the clerk 40 measured out and wrapped the cloth, then held it out teasingly, 41   forward to receive his “  42  ”.
The woman got the package quickly from the clerk and 43 to a little old man standing beside her. “Grandpa will pay the bill instead of me,” she  44 .
He was no 45  disappointed. But in the course of living, many people are 46 when others do not 47 their expectations. In order to be happy, some expectations must be 48. These three particular 49 and unhealthy expectations are some of the main causes:
1. Expect too much  50  .When others say,“Thank you,” or in any way to show their gratitude, be  51  . It is a gift!
2. Expect others to make you happy. They simply cannot do that. Make yourself happy and 52 your joy with others.
3. Expect not to be 53   . At times, people will simply not come through for you in the way you need. 54 them and move on.
Get rid of these three unrealistic expectations and you can begin to expect more 55 right away!

It’s an age-old saying: Men are from Mars; women are from Venus. Males and females __21_ different behaviors almost from birth. Researchers say these behaviors are due to basic differences in __22_ structure and activity.

Take a couple arguing over the location of their car in a parking lot. The man might use his sense of space to find it, while the woman relies on her __30__ of landmarks. Both of them find the car.

Mobile phones which are used  51  too high a volume also came under  52  from Meglena Kuneva, the EU’s consumer affairs commissioner.
“I’m concerned that so many young people…who are  53 users of personal music players and mobile phones at high volume levels, may be  54  damaging their hearing,” she said in the statement.
So, the youth, you should think twice about your preference. You should remember your  55  is more important than fashion and cool.

Once, it was in the middle of a personal development workshop. One of the people present stood up and began   36   out diamond rings to each of the one hundred people in the room.
He was a   37   jeweler, he said, and he had made these expensive   38   as gifts to open people’s eyes to the abundance(富裕) of life.
On his fifth birthday, the man   39  , his uncle had taken him to a candy (糖果)   40   and told him that he could take   41   he wanted, and as much as he wanted.   42   he was very pleased and decided to   43   something he liked best.
The entire store was   44   to him. He had looked at the jars and plates, and he hadn’t known where to   45  . At last, he filled a bag with all his   46   candies. He didn’t take everything,   47   that feeling of being able to have whatever he wanted seemed to make him very   48  .

We think we have to   53  , fight and struggle, so that we can get what we need and want. If we can’t   54  our hands to get,  someone else will be searching through our pockets. The   55   of that mentality is that we all have to go hungry.
Get a taste of abundance and try to have a great life.

Directions: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D.  Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
The world was sharply separated into men and women, because that was the way we believed it should be.  We hold this firm belief and made efforts to keep this ___50___.  When a baby came to the world, he or she was expected to play different roles—boys were portrayed as noisy and naughty ones who people were more likely to ___51___ while girls were bound by strict social requirements to be lovely and ___52___.  People became the product of their sex.  Their social roles were determined when they were ___53___.  Males were the producers of cool reasoning and were capable of ___54___.  And being emotional was considered as the feature of females and their main activity location was ___55___.

Such remarkable change in people’s viewpoint may well explain the gradual ___60___ of single-sex schools.  The aim of education is to stimulate imagination, encourage free thinking and keep alive various interests.  But the single-sex school follows the same regulations and ___61___ a set of separate subjects for males or females.  In single-sex schools, instead of being offered a rich expansion of experience, students have access to ___62___ knowledge.  Such education harms individual freedom and kills the possibility for a young person to develop into a(n) ___63___ human.  Furthermore, such sexual distinction is also dangerous as it breaks up the sense of community by ___64___ people into two sex groups, which eventually damages the development of human civilization.

三、完形填空(共30分)
In this modern world, we rush around all day, doing things, talking, sending and reading message. We are always on, always connected, always thinking, always talking. There is no   36   for stillness.
And when we are   37   to be still because we’re in line for something, or waiting at a doctor’s appointment, or on a bus or train, we often   38  something to do. Some will play with mobile devices, others will read something. Being still isn’t something we’re   39  .
This comes at a   40   : we lose that time for   41 , for observing and listening. We lose peace.
And   42   yet: sometimes too much action is worse than no action at all. You can run around crazily, but get   43  done.
Take a moment to think about   44   you spend your days. Are you constantly rushing around? Are you constantly reading and answering   45   checking on the news and the latest stream of information? Are you always   46   through your schedule?
Is this how you want to spend your   47   ? If so, peace be with you. If not, take a moment to be   48 . Don’t think about what you have to do, or what you’ve done already.   49   be in the moment.
Then after a minute or two of doing that, consider your life, and how you’d  
50   it to be. See your life with less movement, less doing, less rushing. See it with more stillness, more consideration, more   51   .
Then be that vision.
It’s pretty simple: all you have to do is sit still for a little bit each day.   52   you’ve gotten used to that, try doing less each day. Breathe when you feel yourself moving too   53  . slow down. Be present. Find happiness now, in this moment, instead of   54  for it.
55   the stillness. It’s a treasure, and it’s available to us, always.
36. A .place          B. chance         C. freedom        D. time
37. A. forced         B. ordered        C . invited         D. told
