23、that understanding is more important than love, especially when it comes to parenting and intimate relationships. As a psychologist for more than twenty years I can tell you that I have never had an adult looking back at her childhood and complaining that her parents were too understanding. And simi

24、larly, I have met many divorced people who still love each other but yet they never really understood each other.The painful reality is love is just not enough. I' ll admit that there are people who I love and who I still need tobetter understand. I hope I will continue my work to understand the

25、m. The willingness to understand is very important. It is not always easy,but healthy love is strengthened by the willingness to understand. Love without understanding will wilt like flowers without water.Our egos are what seem to get in the way of understanding those who we love and care about. Oft

26、en it is our need to be right that makes what others think and feel so wrong for us. I have certainly been quite guilty of this in some of my relationships.As I have written repeatedly in my books, empathy , is truly the emotional glue that holds all close relationships together. Empathy allows us t

27、o slow down and try to walk in the shoes of those we love. The deeper our empathy, the deeper-the healthier-our love. Not all relationships are meant to be. Yet all relationships that are meant to flourish in a healthy way, must stress understanding just as much, if not more, than love.61. From the

28、passage, we know that.A.the author complains about her parents' being too understandingB.the author has been studying marriage for more than 20 yearsC.People divorced mainly because they didn ' t love each otherD. Some people divorced because they couldn ' t understand each other62. Why

Understanding is more important than love to some degree.D. Understanding is more often neglected in parenting

31、 relationship.64. If we are to understand our parents, we should firstly.A.have willingness to do soC.get into connection with them65.

32、TwoFinally, the Christmas season is over. We can take a long breath, put up our feet, sip from a cup of good tea and relax. The frenzy, starting from Black Friday right after Thanksgiving until Christmas Eve, of gift shopping, buying, wrapping, giving, receiving, opening, returning.is exhaustive and

33、 time-consuming, but it takes place every year.There is considerable difference between the cultures in China and western countries when it comes to gift giving. In China, it is not polite to open a gift in front of the gift giver, and gift is only looked at after the guest has left. Here in America

34、, gift givers always wrap their gifts, large or small, priceless or valueless, carefully and decorate them with colorful ribbons and little pretty paper flowers; and the lucky receiver is expected to open the gift right away in front of the giver, with great eagerness and curiosity, and should alway

35、s express appreciation with the all time truthful comment , “this is just exactly what I wanted!” Well, as a matter of fact, most people wouldtake their “always wanted " gifts back to the store to exchange for something they really wanted.Finding a gift for somebody, even a close family member,

36、 you will have to know what the person likes and shop for days before you can locate the perfect gift. But , still the person may not like the gift from you. Nowadays, stores would provide two copies of the receipts for anything they sell as a gift, one of which is included in the gift packaged so t

37、hat the receiver can come back for an exchange. I know, it was unthinkable to cash out gift you get, but, times are different. Another good way to avoid all that shopping hassle is to purchase a gift card from one of the stores and send it to your niece, nephews, or a family member, so that they can

38、 get whatever they want or even keep the money.66. Finding a gift for somebody is a(n) .A.easy jobB.tough task C.must-be jobD.arranged task67. It is quite for Chinese people to open the gift in front of the givers.A.usualB.normalC.abnormalD.unusual68. Gift giving is the same thing in China and Ameri

39、ca in that.A.people spend a lot of time preparing a gift B.People would cash out the gift immediately C.People are eager to open to get a gift from a friend D.People are less willing to give gifts.69. Which of the following is the author' s suggestion?A. Open a gift immediately in front of the g

40、iver.B. Wrap the gift carefully.C. Express the appreciation for the gift you receive.D. Buying a present card to avoid the trouble in shopping 70. The author ' s attitude towards gift giving is. A.indifferent B.protesting C.objective D.supportive Passage ThreeThey already guide blind and disable

41、d people ;now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia（癡呆）.The duties of these “guide dogs for the mind " will include reminding their owners to take medication, as well as encouraging them to eat , drink and sleep at regular intervals.The dementia dogs will be trained to respond to

42、sound triggers in the home that prompt them to perform tasks .These could include delivering a bite-proof bag of medicine with a note inside reminding the patient to take it , or waking them up in the morning.The idea was developed by design students at the Glasgow School of Art and will now be put

43、into practice by Alzheimer ' s Seotland and Dogs for the disabled.Joyee Gray of Alzheimer ' s Scotland said:" People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relativenormal life , and dogs help to maintain routine .”The other advantage of using the pets as companions is

44、that conversation can be increasingly confusing for people with Alzheimer ' s ,but dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship . Pe ople light up when they can see animals . They don t need to communicate verbally but they can still interact . You can have a speechless bond .T

45、he dog would also encourage the owner to take them out for walks ,ensuring they keep exercising and interacting with other people .71 .As is mentioned in the passage ,the guide dogs will do the following except for.A.helping ensure the owner doing some exercisesB.reminding the owner to take medicine

49、actly what indie rock group The Crimea did earlier this year. The band s reasoning goes like this: more peopwleill download the free album thanwould pay for it. Therefore, more people will hear The Crimea s music. These people will then pay money forconcerts by the band and perhaps buy a T-shirt or

50、other merchandise. If the band play regular concerts to crowds of 200 or 300 people they can make more money than they would from sales of CD. There will always be some people who want something they can hold in their hands so they will release the CD into the shops too-but making money through sale

51、s of their music i sn' t the top priority.The story illustrates the creative thinking going on in their music in response to dramatic changes over the last few years in the way that people buy music. Sales of music digitally -to computer, phone and MP3 playersrose to $2 billion in 2006-an increa

52、se of almost 100 percent on the previous year-yet overall record company sales are down. People are simply not buying CDs in record shops in anything like the numbers they used to.This trend looks set to continue so the big questions for the music industry is whether they can successfully manage the

53、 move to being primarily a digital industry without profits falling to unacceptable levels.There are both positive and negative signs. On the plus side, more and more people are buying music by mobile phones, which allows people to make impulse purchases-they can buy a song as soon as they hear it.

54、Research by the UK mobile operator 3 suggested that 75 percent of 16 to 24-year-olds wanted to buy a track they liked as soon a s they heard it. With so much competition for people' s disposable income, a product you can sellimmediately is a big advantage.The bad news for the record companies, h

55、owever, is the amount of music that is downloaded illegally. Piracy-usually in the form of cheaply copied CD-has long been an issue for the music business but the internet means music can be copied and distributed freely throughsites on a large scale than ever before.It is this situation that leads

56、bands to start giving away their music for free and promises to make the next few years a very interesting time in the music business.76 .What is unusual abou t the Crimea ' s business plan ?A.Their business was given away free on the Internet .B.They gave CDs away free in shops .C.They played f

57、ree concerts.D.They charged more for their CDs.77 .The Crimea hope to make money.A.through CD salesB.by giving concerts and selling T-shirts and other merchandiseC.by selling merchandise on the InternetD.through sales of merchandise in shops78 .The Crimea also released CDs for sale in shops because.A.people who attend their concerts need themB.they want to make extra moneyC.there are still people who prefer CDs to other formatsD.people who fail to attend their concerts need them79 .What is true about sales of music over the last year?A.Overall,sales are up
