Then Mangano met with the media. But would couch potatoes(电视迷)buy a mop? The experts on shopping TV were less than certain. They gave it a try, and it failed. Mangano was sure it would sell if they'd let her do the on-camera display. She said, \sell this mop because it's a great item.\

Teenagers are becoming interested in finding part-time jobs. If you are a teenager without a job, you probably do not have much extra money. So, If you're wondering how to make good money, some ideas might be:
Getting a part time job at a local restaurant or store is always a sure way to make money as a teen. But getting a job somewhere like this might be hard, considering many jobs in local stores are being taken by adults more and more often. Babysitting is always a good way to make money as a teenager, and finding jobs as a babysitter is often easier than finding a job at a store.
Doing landscaping(绿化)is something that most adults do not like to do, and teens can usually find jobs around their neighborhood doing the landscaping of friends and family.
Some teens are good at something such as writing or photography. These teens can make money by doing things such as writing articles for newspapers or magazines, or selling their photos online.
Teens who live in a country area can earn money by helping out on farms, or they can try raising their own animals such as chickens, and selling them or their products.
Looking for jobs can seem hard at first, but if you have a try, it should not be too hard to find a job or way to make money.
28. What problem do teenagers have to face when finding a job in local stores? A. Low pay. B. Heavy work. C. Long working hours. D. Competition with grown-ups.

Conventional wisdom says that hardship can make us old before our time. In fact, a new study suggests that violence not only leaves long-term scars on children's bodies, but also changes their DNA, causing changes that are equal to seven to ten years of premature aging.
Scientists measured this by studying the ends of children's chromosomes(染色体), called telomeres(端粒), says Idan Shalev, lead author of a study published in Molecular Psychiatry.
Telomeres are special DNA sequences(序列)which prevent the DNA in chromosomes from separating. They get shorter each time a cell divides, until a cell cannot divide any more and dies. Several factors have been found to shorten telomeres, including smoking, radiation and psychological stresses such as being treated badly when young and taking care of a chronically ill person.
In this study, researchers examined whether exposure to violence could make children's telomeres shorten faster than normal. They interviewed the mothers of 236 children at ages 5, 7 and 10, asking whether the youngsters had been exposed to domestic violence between the mother and her partner; physical maltreatment by an adult; or bullying. Researchers measured the children's telomeres-in cells obtained by wiping the insides of their cheeks-at ages 5 and 10.
Telomeres shortened faster in kids exposed to two or more types of violence, says Shalev. Unless that pattern changes, the study suggests, these kids could be expected to develop diseases of aging, such as heart attacks or memory loss, seven to 10 years earlier than their peers.
Shalev says there is hope for these kids. His study found that, in rare cases, telomeres can lengthen. Better nutrition, exercise and stress reduction are three things that may be able to
17
lengthen telomeres, he says.
The study confirms a small but growing number of studies suggesting that early childhood adversity imprints itself in our chromosomes, says Charles Nelson, a professor of pediatrics and neuroscience at Harvard Medical School. 32. What does the new study find?
A. Hardship can change a child's memory. B. Violence can speed up a child's aging. C. Violence leaves scars on a child's mind. D. Hardship has an effect on a child's mind. 33. What does the underlined word \
A. Telomeres. B. Children. C. Chromosomes. D. DNA sequences. 34. What can be inferred from the text?
A. Violence can cause quick cell death in children's body. B. Telomeres can help prevent chromosomes from separating. C. Children who have shorter telomeres have heart attacks later. D. Being treated badly will make a child's telomeres shorten faster. 35. What is the best title for the text?
A. Violence and Telomeres B. The Function of Telomeres C. Violence Makes Children Aging D. DNA Influences Children's Growth 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)

To Start a Great Day
Some people find mornings filled with optimism, while others would just stay in bed until the clock passes the noon hour. Don't fear that because it is possible to get the day started right, no matter what comes your way.
36 Why start your day unorganized? If you organize your to-do list, breakfast mend and your clothes the night before, you'll wake up feeling in control and relaxed. What a little efficiency it is! You'll save the frustration, leaving you ready to deal with more important issues.
17
Try 15 minutes of meditation(沉思). Some might he afraid that a meditation session early in the morning could just put you back to sleep. But genuine meditation actually stimulates (刺激)the brain in a deep and thoughtful way. 37 Center yourself with thoughtful thought and be open to the positive energy the world brings to you.
Begin with inspiration reading. 38 Reading the news is a sad way to start a day. Buy a few books that are uplifting, inspiring, or even humorous for your first brain stimulus. This will give you positive, fun thoughts to keep you energetic throughout the day.
39 If the first thing you see when you wake tip is a dirty wall or a poor winter yard, you can certainly improve those few critical minutes with a pleasing splash of color. So pick up a pleasant bouquet every few days and set it right in your view.
Schedule a hopeful appointment. I never feel more energized getting out of bed than when I have an important meeting about an exciting opportunity. The prospect of a fun and productive encounter usually wakes me with a smile and often without an alarm clock. I purposefully schedule as many meetings like this as possible. 40 A. Plan your day the night before. B. Open your eyes to fresh flowers.
C. Reading newspapers can make you feel good. D. Try a soothing cup of green tea to start with. E. It allows you to clear distractions from your mind. F. In that way, I get as many great days as I want. G. In the morning, we must allow some time for reading. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)

At the same time, she went through a noodle shop. Picking up a sweet smell, she suddenly felt very hungry. She wished for a bowl of noodles, but she had no money!
The seller saw her standing before the counter and asked, \bowl?\\
A few minutes later the seller brought her a steaming bowl of noodles. They smelt delicious. Jane cried when eating the noodles.
\just touched by your kindness! Even a stranger on the street gives me a bowl of noodles, and my mother, after a quarrel, chased me out of the house. She is cruel!\
