“I never expected that I would be so busy. Why can't there be 25 hours in a day？” complained Liu Ran in Hong Kong as midterm exams were going on.
The 18yearold was Shandong Province's top scorer in this year's college entrance examination. After graduating from Tai'an No.1 High School，she chose the Chinese University of Hong Kong (香港中文大学)，although both Peking University and Tsinghua University promised her a place.
“I want to experience a more international school and social life in Hong Kong. I'm majoring in journalism，so Hong Kong will surely help widen my horizons，” Liu said.
It is two months since Liu first set foot on Hong Kong. She missed home a lot at the beginning，because of the food and language problems.
“The canteen offers mostly western or Guangdong food，but it's convenient to cook for ourselves in our dorm if we like. People speak Cantonese and almost all classes are in English，” Liu explained.
Her English and Cantonese are now both improving，but she still needs more time to adapt to the new environment.
“I'm happy that I made the right decision to study here. With a mix of the Eastern and Western cultures，there is so much to discover and learn，” she said.
Liu has 18 credit hours(学分)of classes every week and 23 noncredit hours every other week. She has signed up for four associations including the Chinese Language Debating Team and the drama club. Essays，book reports and presentations also take plenty of time to prepare. And，of course，there are various parties to attend.
“I wasn't a party animal before，but that may be interesting part of college. I sense myself changing，” Liu said.Liu Ran chose the Chinese University of Hong Kong，because________.
| A．she couldn't be admitted to Peking University |
| B．Hong Kong is a good place to learn Eastern cultures |
| C．she wants to be far from her homeland |
| D．Hong Kong can widen her horizons |
According to the passage，we can infer________.
| A．Liu Ran still doesn't like attending parties |
| B．Liu Ran hates the busy life in the Chinese University of Hong Kong |
| C．Liu Ran likes the food of Hong Kong |
| D．the full life makes Liu Ran feel good |

To all of you at Chinese love links,
I am 44 years old and never married. I have always wanted to find that perfect someone that I dream about. For about the last five years I have almost given up the hope of ever finding the one I truly wish to spend the rest of my life with.
I have always tried to be a nice guy. I had found your website some four or five months before. I did not know what to expect. I don't know how to speak Chinese and never thought truly of how I was to an Asian woman.
Well, I had a lot of replies from some very nice and pretty women. I had a hard time finding only a couple to write to. But one stood out from the rest. She was cute, nice and seemed to hold a lot of the same values as I do. In a short time I had decided to write only to her. We communicated via e - mails 2 - 3 times a day and phone calls once or twice a week.
I went and met her and her family only a week ago. Her name is Ying and she lives in Nanning. I found Nanning to be one of the most beautiful cities I had ever been to. We had even decided to marry and to bring her to the USA under the fiance visa. Not only did she meet everything I had ever hoped to find in someone else but turned out to be what every woman should be like, at least the ones I have met. We plan to marry as soon as she is here and start a family together as neither of us has children but we both want them.
So to anyone out there reading this, I can only say this: You may not find what you are looking for if you're not honest with your partner and yourself. This site worked for me mostly because I was honest with something that I wanted in someone else. When I did find her, love can work even across the other side of the world, between language differences and cultural differences. I wish you all luck in finding your perfect match. I have finally found mine and wish to give all my thanks to those at Chinese love links to help make it happen.
Sincerely yours,
Arthur

There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process．People have generally viewed personal growth as an external (外在的) result or a product that can easily be identified and measured．The worker who gets a rise, the student 
whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns a new l
anguage—all these examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts．
By contrast (对照) , the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way．The process is not the road itself, but the attitudes, feelings people have , and their caution or courage, as they meet with new experiences and unexpected difficulties．In this process, the journey never really ends；there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept．
In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to face the unknown, and t
o accept the possibility that they may “fail” at first．How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is necessary for our ability to grow．Do we see ourselves as quick and curious? If so, we tend to take more chances and be more open to unfamiliar experiences．Do we think we’re shy and indecisive? Then our sense of fear can cause us to hesitate, to move slowly, and we think we are slow to adapt (适应) change or that we’re not smart enough to deal with a new challenge．Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all．
These feelings of insecurity (不安全) and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow．If we protect ourselves too much, then we stop growing．We become trapped inside a shell of our own making．
71．In the author’s eye, one who views personal growth as a process would ______．
A．succeed in climbing up the social ladder
B．grow up from his own achievements
C．face difficulties and take up challenges
D．aim high and reach his goal each time
72．Which of the following can be viewed as the process of personal growing?
A．Our manager was always willing to accept new challenges．
B．Jane won the first prize in the speech competition．
C．Jerry picked up French during his stay in Paris．
D．Father’s salary rose from 5, 000 to 7,000．
73．For personal growth, the author is in favor of all the following EXCEPT _______．
A．being curious about more changes
B．being quick in self-adaptation
C．having an open mind to new experiences
D．staying away from failures and challenges
74．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A．It is not so easy to measure personal growth．
B．To try and fail on the ne
w road facing the unknown is unavoidable．
C．There are only two ways to see a person’s growth．
D．If you are too shy to take any risks in life, you cannot grow up．
75．The best title for this passage should be ______．
A．Facing New Challenges B．Growth—Product or Process
C．Two Basic Ways of Growth D．Overcoming Internal Fears
It’s not just adults who have a thing or two to discuss with other people, babies too have their own social lives and enjoy group interaction, according to a world-first study.
The breakthrough study conducted by psychologist Professor Ben Bradley, at Charles Sturt University, could completely transform the way child-care centers are set up．In their study, the researchers examined groups of nine-month-old babies in new South Wales and Britain.
And they came across astonishing results – it was found that infants had “social brains” and focused not just on their mothers but on social life in groups as well.
“They communicate with more than one baby at once, and show jealousy and generousness,” said Professor Bradley.
He added, “They develop their own meanings through group interaction, they notice if a group member is behaving differently and they take on roles, such as leaders and followers.”
“A baby who has a depressed mother tends to be withdrawn（内向的）, but put that same baby in a group of its peers（同龄人）and they behave and interact like any other baby.”
It was the first all-baby group study ever to be conducted．“Most studies of babies concentrate on the infant-mother relationship, assuming that is the single foundation for mental health, but babies are constantly involved with groups of people other than their mothers: fathers, siblings, grandparents and those taking care．Therefore, the ‘mother-baby approach’ needs to be combined with a ‘group approach’,” said Bradley.
Phoebe Christison, a child-care worker at Camperdown Sunshine Bubs in Sydney’s inner west, said she often noticed what appeared to be emotional attachments developed between toddlers.
She said, “Joel（10 months）and Isabella（11 months）always like to hold hands when they sit in their high chairs and eat．And babies definitely show jealousy．They push and touch each other, and copy what the other is doing.”
66．Which of the following statements about the study is TRUE?
A．It’s the first study to look at all-baby groups.
B．It divides babies according to their personalities.
C．Its aim is to change the way of child care.
D．Its results are unbelievable.
67．A baby who has a depressed mother _________.
A．tends to be a follower B．also enjoys group interaction
C．has poor social ability D．pays more attention to its mother
68．What can be inferred from the result of this study?
A．Babies are affected by groups more than by their mothers.
B．There’s no need of child-care centers at all.
C．Adults should include babies when having social activities.
D．The normal infant-mother bond alone isn’t enough for the good mental health for babies.
69．The underlined word “toddlers” in Para．8 can be replaced by “_________”.
A．adults B．infants C．peers D．groups
70．The example given in the last paragraph proves that a baby ________.
A．is born to be friendly to other babies
B．has interest in peers as well as in its mother
C．may have emotional attachments to another baby
D．shows jealousy and generousness as an adult

Gu Changwei was the first Chinese cinematographer to be nominated (提名) for an Oscar, and he is regarded by Zhang Yimou as the best cinematographer in China．Gu was behind the camera for many of Zhang Yimou’s famous films including the one that rocketed Zhang to fame: "Red Sorghum (高粱)"．And now this master of the visual has taken on his first directing role with the film "Peacock"．So Gu Changwei has come out from behind the camera into the spotlight (聚光灯).
