26、n account of Grandpa being in the army. She hated having to adjust to new schools and make new friends. Thats why I thought she was joking when she put forward the idea of moving. But she was completely serious. “For just the two of us,” my mother said, “an apartment in the city will suit our needs

27、much better.” Personally, I think shes lost her mind. I guess I can understand why she would want to move, but what about me and what this house means to me?I suppose if you looked at my house, you might think it was just another country house. But to me it is anything but standard. I moved into thi

28、s house with my parents ten years ago. I can still remember that first day like it was yesterday. The first thing I noticed was the big front yard. To me it seemed like an ocean of grassI couldnt wait to dive in. The backyard was full of gnarled (扭曲的, 粗糙的) and scary trees that talk on windy nights.

29、But I grew to like them and the shadows they cast in my room. My father and I even built a small tree house, where I often go to remember all the wonderful times we had before Fathers death. This house is specialmaybe only to mebut special nevertheless. Its the little seemingly insignificant things

30、that make this house so special to me: the ice-cold tile floors that make me tremble on midnight snack runs; the smell of my fathers pipe that still exists; the towering bookcases of my mother; the view outside my bedroom window.This house holds too many memories, memories which would be lost if we

The investment (投资) in higher education, whether financial or i

34、n terms of time, has long been impossible for many of them. But well-known educational institutions have chosen to deliver an internet-based program, and these barriers have been lifted.That is good news for people eager to improve themselves and is more attractive to employers. It is also a benefit

35、 to industry with better qualified candidates applying for jobs at every level.Having the benefits of a higher qualification without going to the university campus is attractive to many students. Campus study means greater cost, while online programs are flexible and save time, whether at home or at

36、 work. Students can achieve their degrees without causing too much disruption to their career or home life.In addition to affordable, flexible classes and greater convenience, students also have access to the online learning resources of many of the worlds top educational institutions.

37、 communicate with their tutors no matter what time it is or whether either party is away for any reason.This has opened up the possibility of getting a qualification from a university or college that many students could only have dreamed of in the past.

43、ine Education Taking the Place of Campus Education DSometimes you may have a strong desire to do something strange or terrible. However, chances are that you dont act on your impulse (冲动), but let it pass instead. You know that to take the action is wrong in some way and that other people will not a

44、ccept your behavior. Perhaps the most interesting thing about the phenomenon of taboo behavior is how it can change over the years, how certain behavior and attitudes once considered taboo can become perfectly acceptable and natural at another point in time. Topics such as death, for example, were o

45、nce considered so upsetting that it was a taboo to even talk about them. Now with the publication of important books such as On Death and Dying and Learning to Say Goodbye, people have become more aware of the importance of expressing feelings about death and, as a result, are more willing to talk a

46、bout this taboo subject.One of the newest taboos is the topic of fat. Unlike many other taboos, fat is a topic that people talk about constantly. Its not taboo to talk about fat; its taboo to be fat. The “in” look is thin, not fat. In the work world, most companies prefer youthful-looking, slim mana

47、ger to sell their image as well as their products to the public. The thin look is associated with youth, vigor, and success. The fat person, on the other hand, is thought of as lazy and lacking in energy, self-discipline and self-respect. After all, how can people permit themselves to become fat? In

48、 an image-conscious society, thin is “in”, fat is “out”. Its not surprising that millions of people have become obsessed (着迷) with staying slim and “in shape”. The pursuit of a youthful physical appearance is not, however, the only reason for peoples obsession with diet and exercise. Recent research

49、 has shown the importance of diet and exercise for personal health. As in most technologically developed nations, the life-style of people has changed since last century. Modern machines do all the physical labor. Cars and buses transport us quickly from point to point. As a result of inactivity and

50、 disuse, peoples bodies can easily become weak. In an effort to avoid such a fate (命运), millions of people are spending more of their time exercising. Parks are filled with joggers and bicyclists, and many companies are providing special exercise equipment for their employees to use during the work

51、day. 67. What does the word “taboo” refer to in the passage?A. A crime committed on impulse.B. An unfavorable impression left on other people.C.

56、dvantages of recycling cannot be ignored. “73,” says Amy Ho, Managing Director of World Wide Fund For Nature in Singapore. “The damage to our environment could then be slowed down as a result.”In fact, by recycling just one plastic bottle, you are saving not just the material to make a new one, but

57、you also stop it from getting thrown into a landfill (垃圾掩埋场) for up to 700 yearsand thats before it even starts to rot. 74.
