III.Reading Comprehension
People who describe themselves as perfectionists may do well on job interviews, but new study findings suggest that they may struggle in marriage and other intimate relationships.
Previous research has shown that certain personality traits can affect a couple's ability to adjust to marriage. In this study,a team of Canadian researchers report that a partner's perfectionism greatly influences their—and their mate’s—adjustment to marriage.
“Thus, perfectionism may be worth considering in the context of marital and family therapy,” write Dr. Paul L. Hewitt of the University of British Columbia in Vancouver and his colleagues.
Their study involved 76 couples who were married or had been living together for no more than four years. Perfectionism was determined by the extent to which the men and women agreed with statements such as, “When I am working on something, I cannot relax until it is perfect.”
Overall, men and women who identified their partners as perfectionists－meaning they felt that their mates demanded perfection from them—tended to report greater use of sarcasm(讽刺)， nagging(唠叨) and other conflict-driven strategies to cope with their marital problems, study findings indicate.
And when men used these conflict strategies, both they and their wives rated marital adjustment—including their satisfaction with the marriage and the quality of their marital intimacy—lower than did their peers.
“This suggests ‘individuals’ personality traits may affect not only their own experience of the marriage, but the experience of their partner as well,” Hewitt and his colleagues write.
What's more, women, but not men, who expected perfection from their mates also seemed unhappy with the relationship, study findings indicate. They reported poorer marital functioning than did women who did not have such high demands of their partners.
“This finding may suggest that women who expect perfection from their spouses may be especially likely to be dissatisfied, because their spouses will inevitably fail to meet these expectations,”the researchers speculate.
21. What is true about perfectionists?
A．They can perform better in job interviews.
B．They have difficulty in getting married.
C．They are unable to enjoy intimate relationships.
D．They fail to adjust themselves well to marriage.

Ⅳ.Reading Comprehension
Years ago, in a small fishing village in Holland,a young boy taught the world about the rewards of unselfish service.Because the entire village revolved around the fishing industry,a volunteer rescue team was needed in cases of emergency. One night the winds raged, the clouds burst and a gale（大风） force storm capsized a fishing boat at sea.In trouble, the crew sent out the S.O.S. The captain of the rescue rowboat team sounded the alarm and the villagers assembled in the town square overlooking the bay. While the team launched their rowboat and fought their way through the wild waves, the villagers waited restlessly on the beach, holding lanterns to light the way back.
An hour later, the rescue boat reappeared through the fog and the cheering villagers ran to greet them. Falling exhausted on the sand, the volunteers reported that the rescue boat could not hold any more passengers and they had to leave one man behind.Even one more passenger would have surely capsized the rescue boat and all would have been lost.
Frantically, the captain called for another volunteer team to go after the lone survivor. Sixteen-year-old Hans stepped forward.His mother grabbed his arm, pleading, “Please don’t go. Your father died in a shipwreck 10 years ago and your older brother, Paul,has been lost at sea for three weeks. Hans, you are all I have left.”
Hans replied, “Mother, this time I have to do my duty. When the call for service comes, we all need to take our turn and do our part.” Hans kissed his mother, joined the team and disappeared into the night.
Another hour passed.The rescue boat moved through the fog with Hans standing up in the bow. Barely able to contain himself, Hans excitedly shouted at the captain, “We found him. Tell my mother it's my older brother, Paul!”

Basketball is a sport enjoyed by millions of fans in at least 100 countries. It's one of the best-known sports in the world.It all began in 1891.
Dr. James A．Naismith, the father of basketball, was an instructor at a YMCA (基督教青年会)training school. The school trained people to work in YMCAs. Officials at the school were concerned about the low attendance during the winter months. They felt that people didn't attend them because the school did not have a good winter sports program. So they asked Dr. Naismith for help. He came up with a new indoor game.
Naismith studied current games. He found that all the most popular games used a ball. So a ball would be part of his new game, he decided.But kicking the ball or hitting it would be too rough for indoors . So he put two peach baskets up on poles. The players had to try to throw a soccer ball into them, Naismith then made thirteen rules for the game. Twelve of them are still in use today.Just seven years after the game began, professional basketball teams were formed.
And that's how basketball was born.

Ⅷ. Translation from English into Chinese
In the United States nowadays, more than a third of all students are women. Although many women who have received higher education do not spend the whole of their lives following careers for which their education has prepared them, it is accepted that the benefits of a university career are useful.
With so great a proportion of the young people entering higher education there is a problem of maintaining academic standards,and the process can be painful. Half of those who work on higher studies fail to graduate. The number who drop out after one of two years is disturbingly large, though there is evidence that even incomplete university study gives a person better career prospects than none at all. On the other hand, one in five of all who receive bachelor's degrees go on to take higher degrees.
