School failure appears to trouble teenage girls more deeply than boys, US researchers said on Tuesday.
They said adolescent(青春期的)girls who are dismissed or drop out of high school before they graduate are more likely to have a serious depression by age 21 than boys with similar experiences.
“For girls it is more serious to be school failure,” said Carolyn McCarty, a University of Washington researcher whose study appears in the Journal of Adolescent Health.
“We already know that it leads to more poverty, higher rates of being on public assistance and lower rates of job stability. And now this study shows it is having mental health implications for girls,” McCarty said in a statement.
The study was drawn from data on more than 800 people in Seattle, Washington, and included people from 18 schools in high-crime neighborhoods.
The group was separated evenly by gender(性别)and nearly half were white, 24 percent were black, 21 percent were Asian-American and the rest were from other groups.
Overall, 45 percent of the girls and 68 percent of the boys in the study experienced a major school failure, but 22 percent of the girls later became depressed compared with 17percent for the boys.
“This gender shows that while school failure is more typical for girls, it appears to have more severe consequences when it does occur,” McCarty said.
60. What is the purpose of writing this article?
A Taking good care of the school boys.
B Asking the US researchers to search more evidences.
C Giving help to the graduated students.
D Paying more attention to the girls experiencing school failure.
61. Carolyn McCarty is ______________
A a scientist B a researcher C a professor D a student
62. The underlined word”it” in para.4 means__________

Without plants, people could not live. We eat plants. We take in oxygen that plants make. And we need plants for another reason: We need them because they are beautiful.
Imagine a world with no plants. Imagine no flowers with their sweet smells, their beautiful colours and their lovely shapes. Imagine, when the wind blows, we are not able to hear the leaves of the trees or watch the branches swing from side to side.
Everywhere people need beautiful plants. That is why we have parks full of trees and flowers. That is why people always like houses with room for some grass and a garden.
Do you talk to your plants? Do you give them love and take good care of them? Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird, writers of a book called The Secret of Plants , tell of an experiment in which two seeds were planted in different places. While the plants were growing, one plant was given love and hopeful ideas. After six months, the beloved plant was bigger. Under the earth it had more and longer roots; above the earth, it had a thicker stem and more leaves.
68.In the experiment, the two plants were _____.

III 阅读（共两节, 满分40分）
第一节阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Carl’s parents had started a small grocery store and had built it over the years into a major supermarket. Carl now worked there full time.
He liked working at his parent’s business; it was an honest business. He had been brought up to be honest, to tell the truth, and more — he knew that there was such a thing as truth. A year ago, his homeroom teacher had said in front of the whole class:
“There is no such thing as truth.”
Carl Savinski had stood up and said, “That would make your statement false.”
“Huh?”
“That would make your statement false,” Carl had repeated. “If there is no such thing as truth, then your statement is not true. To say that there is no such thing as truth is absurd — you dumb piece of shit!”
Carl was expelled from school for two weeks. He didn’t go back. He joined his parent’s business instead.
In the past year he had learned that to be honest was not only the right thing to do but also the practical thing to do. He saw how his parents had built this business. He saw that they had made reasonable rules for the staff and employed them equally without favoritism. The staff liked working there and his parents had gained a competent work force that cared about the future of the company.
His parents had gained more customers by treating them honestly, by being fair, by giving them more value for their money. If produce was too old, they threw it out; they didn’t sell three-day old bread as fresh.
They stuck to terms with their suppliers: if payment was required in thirty days, they paid in thirty days. If a supplier accidentally shipped more than they were invoiced for, they paid for the extra; but if this happened too often, they changed suppliers. They built up honest relationships with their suppliers. And they gained: they were first to be offered a commodity in short supply, and first to receive a discount if a supplier was over stocked.
In the past year Carl Savinski saw with his own eyes, in his day-to-day job, that being honest paid. He saw that to be reasonable, to be honest, to tell the truth was practical — that one did not suffer a loss by being honest, but made a gain.
41. How long had Carl worked in his parents’ supermarket?
A. For half a year.                                         B. For more than a year.
C. For a year.                                                     D. For years.
42. What does the underlined word “expelled” mean?
A. cut off                B. driven off             C. set off                  D. warned of
43. Why did the staff like working for Carl’s parents?
A. Because the staff were all equally paid without favoritism.
B. Because Carl’s parents made strict rules for their business.
C. Because the future of the company was really promising.
D. Because the regulations were effective and the staff were equally treated.
44. Which of the following can be seen as an honest operation of the company?
A. They gave more discounts by raising the price.
B. Their butcher cut more fat off the meat.
C. They changed suppliers for cheaper goods.
D. Their contracts are occasionally not carried out.
45. What does this story mainly tell us?
A. Being honest pays off.                                 B. Being honest makes a loss.
C. Not all people believe in truth.                      D. People have a false belief in truth.
