Be honest and open about who you really are. People who lack 47 core values rely on external factors -- their looks or status -- in order to feel good about themselves. Inevitably they will do everything they can to preserve this false mask, but they will do very little to enhance their

Part 6 Reading Comprehension
Directions: Read the following passage(s) carefully and do the multiple-choice questions.
Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.
Theirs is a modern love drama: They met on the Internet and fell deeply in love with each other. They shared secrets, memories, feelings – even though they had never laid eyes on each other. And now, the very technology that had brought them together was tearing them apart. “Kevin” is a pleasing fellow – quick with a smile, trustworthy.
A security guard for a hospital in northern Idaho, he keeps emergency room patients company and walks nurses to their cars at night. He remembers the first day he went to the Internet. It was August 1995, and the computer was in the hospital library. It wasn't long before he was spending most of his free time in front of the screen. It was purely by accident, Kevin says, that he discovered online pornography(色情内容). First he looked out of curiosity. “Each time I thought I had seen it all,” he says, “some new sex practice popped up. Eventually, the online sex world came to take the place of any real-world contact with women. “I can be a little bit shy,” he says, “and this was an alternative that kept me from feeling lonely.” Then came a message from “Marie,” a young mother of three looking for company on an Internet singles site. Kevin fired off an immediate response, and the two began a dialogue that would last two months before he made the 50-mile drive to meet her.
A few months later, they were married. What Marie loved about Kevin was his kindness, his interest in her kids. What she didn't know was that every time she was reading one of Kevin's love e-mails, he was at the other end of the connection looking secretly at pornography sites. “I knew he was always online,” Marie says. “But I thought that it was just because he was interested in meeting new people.” Whenever Kevin was home, he was online, with the door closed.
A few times, he called her in to look at an especially “wild” site. She was annoyed but didn't worry until he turned away from her in bed. “Have you been looking again?” she would cry. By January, Kevin knew he had a serious problem. He promised that he would never use the computer at home. But there was still the machine at the hospital. Every night, he would use his master key to get into the closed library and favour his curiosity as never before. Sometimes, for his entire eight-hour work time, he would sit in front of the screen. When his bosses asked him to look in on the library, where some “unusual”" computer activity had been noticed, he stopped using the computer for a month, and then headed straight back to the same place.
This time, though, he walked into a trick. Earlier this summer, the hospital installed cameras and software that recorded Kevin's every mouse(鼠标)click. On June 27, his bosses confronted him and took him to the police station nearby. He was kept in the station for three days. Now Kevin lives under the continual watch of his wife and his boss.
62.It is ________ that brings Kevin and Marie into love and marriage and then possibly separates them.

C. as a security guard
D. as an actor
66.Which of the following statements is not true?
A. Kevin had seen Marie before their marriage.
B. Before their marriage Marie didn't know Kevin was online looking at some pornography sites.
C. Had Kevin stopped looking online for pornography for ever, he would not have been kept in the police station for three days.
D. The relationship between Kevin and Marie as husband and wife will remain the same as before.
Questions 67 to 71 are based on the following passage.
It was so quick and easy. A fourteen-year-old boy in Scottsdale, Arizona, put his $50 bill(纸币)on a color copying machine called a copier. Within seconds he transformed $50 into $550, and he was ready to shop. Twenty years ago only a few people had the skills or equipment to make fake money.
Today computer, copier, and printer(印刷机)technology is so good that almost anyone can “make” money. With the new technology there is a new kind of casual faking machine. These machines are called casual because they don't have special skills and because they don't need to plan much. The number of bills made by casual fakers on their home or office computer is growing fast. In fact, this number has doubled every year since 19!
There is no way to stop faking 100 percent. But the government has recently found a few ways to make casual faking very difficult. One way is to put very, very small words, called microprints(微型印刷品), in hidden places on the bill. The words are only 6/1000 inch. No one can read them without a magnifying glass, a special glass that makes things look bigger. And they are too small to come out clearly on a copier. If someone copies a bill that has microprints and you look at the copy through a magnifying glass, instead of microprinted words, you will see only black lines. Another way to stop people from making fake money on their home computers is to use special color-changing ink. Money printed with color-changing ink will look green from one angle and yellow from another. Home computers cannot use color-changing ink.
So any copies from a home computer will have normal ink and can be noticed quite easily. Additionally, money is made on special paper with very small pieces of red and blue silk mixed in. And on each bill there is a special line that runs from the top to the bottom of the bill. Suppose, for example, that you hold a $20 bill up to the light. If you do this, you can see the line has the words “USA twenty”. The line turns red if you put it under a special light. This line and the special paper with red and blue silk are not easy for home computers to copy.
The government must try many different ways to stop faking. It needs to keep changing the way money is made because fakers can learn to copy the changes. Today copiers can't copy microprinted words or color-changing ink. But, in a few years, who knows?
67.It can be concluded from the first three paragraph that _______________.
A. most children above the age of 14 can fake money
B. new high technology makes money faking easier
C. anyone who has a computer can fake money
D. casual faking machines are called casual for the reason that no skills and planning are required

B. you see green ink from one direction and yellow from another on the bill
C. you see a special line on the bill that runs from the top to the bottom and that has such words as “USA hundred”

Part 7 Short Answer Questions
Directions: Read the following passage(s) carefully and give brief answers to the questions.
Questions 72 to 76 are based on the following passage.
It took months of planning, of trying to find the perfect paper, of mixing and remixing ink to get the right color, of printing and reprinting to get the right feel, but I did it. I made a perfect copy of a $100 bill. During the days, I did regular print jobs at the shop. Then every evening at five o'clock, I sent my workers home, hoping no one would ask why I stayed late. I pulled out the paper, ink, and other equipment I hid away the night before and slowly, carefully worked until the sun came up. I didn’t have time to sleep. I was too nervous to sleep anyway.
As I worked, I worried about the police coming to get me. In the beginning, as I prepared the paper, I said to myself, “I'm just printing little blue and red hair lines on paper. They can't take me in me for that.” Then as I printed the numbers, I said, “I'm just printing small numbers in four corners of a page. They can't take me in me for this.” Finally, as I got closer and closer to printing something I could be put in prison for, I began to wonder, “Is this really that bad? Who am I hurting? I'm making myself a few thousand dollars so I can take my boy and move to Puerto Rico. I'm just trying to do my best for my family. Is that so wrong?”
After about three weeks of slow work, I finally printed out a whole sheet of $100 bills. I took out the magnifying glass and studied my work. “No. Oh, Ben, no. Ben, you don't look right,” I said aloud to the empty shop. The image of Ben Franklin onthe front of the bill just didn't look right. To most people, he probably looked like the one on the real bill. But I could see that it wasn't a perfect copy. I needed it to be perfect. So, slowly, painfully I started over. A week later, I was printing the last of the bills. I didn't hear them come in because of the noise of the press. I just looked up from studying the now-perfect images of Ben Franklin to see a gun at my head and hear a policeman say, “Just like getting caught with your hand in the cookie jar, huh, Mike?”
72.At the end of the first paragraph, “I did it” means _______________.
73.Did the narrator in the passage try to fake money on purpose or out of curiosity? And why?
74.Did the narrator think that he would be taken to prison? Why?
75.What seems to be the most difficult job for the narrator to fake the bill?
76.When was he taken to prison?
