Mark is leaving, and I’m feeling kind of sad. He’s been the heart and soul of the office for a couple of years, combining professional skills with a 36 personality.
And now he’s moving on to an exciting new 37 opportunity. It sounds like it could be the chance of a lifetime, and we’re 38 pleased for him. But that doesn’t make it any 39 to say goodbye to a dear friend and trusted colleague.
Our ability to cope with 40 determines happiness in life. But how do we do that? Philosophers’ responses have been 41 . According to the author of the Biblical book of Ecclesiastes, comfort can be found in 42 that ―to everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven.‖ Kahlil Gibran urged his listeners to ―let today embrace (欣然接收) the 43 with remembrance, and the future with longing.‖
A friend of mine reminds his fellow that ―survivability depends upon 44 .‖ And a surfer summed up 45 problems in four words: ―Go with the flow.‖
I think life is a series of 46 —both good and bad . No matter how excellent your organizational skills, there will always be life-influencing factors over which you have no 47 . The truly successful person is 48 to make adjustments should the need arise.
That means when things come up that aren't 49 in your plan，you work around them—and then you move on. Of course, some 50 along the road of life are easier to take than others. A rained-out picnic, for example, is easier to 51 than the sudden death of a loved one. But the 52 is the same.
Change, indeed, is painful, yet ever 53 . And if memory has its force and worth, so has hope. We’re going to 54 Mark, but rather than be lost in the sadness of our parting, we'll focus on our hopes for a brighter future－for him, and for us. And then we'll 55 out and do everything we can to make that future happen.
36. A. gentle B. weak C. special D. split 37. A. educational B. commercial C. medical D. professional 38. A. ridiculously B. sincerely C. unwilling D. secretly 39. A. odder B. ruder C. easier D. fairer 40. A. change B. challenge C. choice D. chance 41. A. spread B. evaluated C. discussed D. varied 42. A. explaining B. recommending C. remembering D. anticipating 43. A. friend B. reader C. warmth D. past 44. A. competence B. adaptability C. accommodation D. confidence 45. A. attitude B. health C. life D. security 46. A. stories B. events C. questions D. memories 47. A. control B. right C. advantage D. priority 48. A. forced B. prepared C. allowed D. encouraged 49. A. mostly B. accidently C. exactly D. eventually 50. A. bumps B. crossings C. stops D. alternatives 51. A. prevent B. predict C. handle D. imagine 52. A. procedure B. conclusion C. consequence D. principle 53. A. obvious B. ambiguous C. wonderful D. needful 54. A. miss B. accompany C. forgive D. help
55. A. work B. go C. cry D. drop

Finland Schools Abandon “Subjects”—Topics will Be Discussed Instead
Students in Finland won't have to study subjects. Soon, their classrooms would be like conferences where ―topics‖ are discussed.
The education system in Finland is about to undergo a thorough and fundamental change, despite enjoying the distinction of being one of the best in the world. The education department has decided to cancel the old method of ―teaching by subject.‖ Instead, the country will now involve the children to help them learn and question by evolving to ―teaching by topic‖, shared
Liisa Pohjolainen, who is in charge of youth and adult education in Helsinki – the capital city at the forefront of the reform program, ―This is going to be a big change in education in Finland that we’re just beginning.‖
The education system, though appearing to be radical (极端的), is quite logical, explained Pasi Silander, the city’s development manager, ―What we need now is a different kind of education to prepare people for working life. Young people use quite advanced computers. In the past the banks had lots of bank clerks totaling up figures but now that has totally changed. We therefore have to make the changes in education that are necessary for industry and modern society.‖
How does Finland plan to carry out effectively the method of teaching by topic? Evidently holistic (全盘的) vocational training and accumulated skill development tower over ―lessons.‖ Those in their late teens are already being engaged in what Finland refers to as ―phenomenon teaching‖ – or teaching by topic. For example, ―cafeteria services‖ lessons will include elements of finance, languages (to help serve foreign customers), writing skills and communication skills.
Students will slowly be taught cross-subject topics which would have varying elements of multiple (多种的) ―subjects.‖ These elements will vary as per the ―topic‖ or ―skill‖ the student is learning. Apart from the same, students will move away from the traditional sitting and evaluation techniques as well. Students will sit in smaller groups and work collectively to solve problems, all the while improving upon their communication skills. They won't be made to sit in rows and asked questions individually to assess their progress. Instead, a group whose joint efforts bring out results faster will be promoted.
The education system needs a thorough examination, owing to the fact that traditional teaching techniques were based on primitive tools that were quite limited in availability and accessibility. With modern world being extensively connected, isn’t it time the students learn how to step ahead of mere fact-based learning that promotes memory expansion rather than mental development? 59. Which of the following leads to the education reform in Finland? A. Graduates are not well equipped to work in society. B. The government wants to keep its leading position. C. The new teaching techniques are more accessible. D. The students want to get rid of tests on memory.
60. The new education system lays greater stress on ________. A. interesting topics B. multiple subjects C. professional skills D. memory expansion 61. How will the teachers evaluate students learning ―cafeteria services‖? A. By testing them individually with questions. B. By weighing the outcome of their group work. C. By counting the relevant courses they’ve attended.
D. By confirming the performance of each student in class.

Once upon a time, science fiction was just a style among other styles. There were crime stories, there were horror stories, there was literary fiction–and there was science fiction. But today science themes dominate these other styles. It’s difficult to think of much modern crime, horror or ―serious‖ fiction that doesn’t involve science.
And it’s not just books. With every second movie and computer game having a sci-fi element, science fiction seems to have controlled our entire entertainment culture. It’s clear that if we want to define science fiction we should relate it to the role that science plays in our lives. Perhaps the place to start is by noting when it began.
Although some experts have claimed to be able to trace sci-fi back to ancient times, it is more plausible to find it in initial form in the 19th century, when industrial societies arose. One of the features that set industrial societies apart from other kinds was the increasing part that science played in everyday life. Factories with vast machines turned out huge quantities of goods, which were transported by trains, motor vehicles and ships all over the world. Cities were built on the back of technology, with electricity in homes and hospitals helping everyone to lead healthier, more convenient lives. All of these changes had great effects not only on people’s real lives, but on their imaginative ones.
Writers began to articulate these changing physical and mental landscapes, eventually giving science fiction a large and devoted fan base of especially young readers, who found that it spoke to their curiosity about the future that science would create.
But sci-fi reflected fears about science more than it did hopes. These typical early science fiction novel might be a UK novel like H.G. Wells’ The War of the Worlds (1897). With great skill, Wells played upon the fears of technology by imagining Earth under threat by a civilization –that of men from Mars.
The science fiction of today expresses the impact of the computing revolution, robotics and our environmental challenges, while it is less concerned with ―little green men from Mars‖ and other themes of past sci-fi.
Given that science, technology and politics are always intertwined (交织), contemporary science fiction often has a great deal to say about power. Many recent novels – like American Cory Doctorow’s Little Brother (2008) – are concerned with government and security service ―conspiracies (阴谋)‖ against the people, particularly as the revelations of whistleblowers like Edward Snowden sink in. This can give sci-fi writing a ―skeptical‖ feel.
This underlines one of the features that remains constant between the beginnings of the empire of science fiction and its state today.
As then, so now: We want to read about how fearful the future will be, not how it will be a paradise (天堂).
62. The underlined word ―dominate‖ in Paragraph 1 probably means ―_________‖. A. induce B. represent C. interfere D. influence 63. What caused science fiction to appear in the 19th century? A. The curiosity of young readers about the future.
B. The changes that the industrial revolution brought about. C. People’s stretched imagination affected by their real life. D. People’s fears about science rather than hopes.
64. What is mostly conveyed in contemporary science fiction? A. Our earth is threatened by aliens from Mars.
B. Modern crime and horror are involved in science. C. Power is a very important element to ensure security.
D. Entertainment culture and environmental issues are crucial. 65. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. The impact of the science fiction. B. The development of the science fiction. C. The content of the science fiction.
D. The characteristic of the science fiction.

Jane Austen was born in Steventon, England, in 1775, where she lived for the first twenty-five years of her life. Her father, George Austen, taught her largely at home. She began to write while in her teens and completed the original manuscript (手稿) of Pride and Prejudice, titled First Impressions, between 1796 and 1797. A publisher rejected the manuscript, and it was not until 1809 that Austen began the revisions that would bring it to its final form. Pride and Prejudice was published in January 1813, two
