34、beyD. Buckingham PalaceBLiving abroad to study can certainly be an interesting experience but is that alone a good enough reason for spending years far away from home?

44、had been out for the Christmas and New Years holidays, the girls had gone to a party with several of their friends. It was New Years Eve. There was alcohol(酒) there. And the five girls all drank some. Coach Tammy Rainville has a zero-tolerance rule on drugs and alcohol for the members of her team. E

45、very kid who plays for her knows that rule. So when classes began after the holidays, rumors(谣言) about the five girls began spreading quickly.

47、 big drug and alcohol problem in our community.

52、（共75分）五任务型阅读（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。When was the last time you faced disappointment from a certain outcome that did not meet your expectations? It could be any event in your life. Perhaps your meeting at work did not go as well as you expected. Your new job was

53、not what you expected. Maybe your relationship did not work out the way you hoped it would.Disappointments are dissatisfactions that arise when your expectations are not met by outcomes. In short, a) you had an expectation, b) things did not unfold against the expectation.Every day, people deal with

54、 disappointments. Depending on how big the disappointment is and how you choose to deal with it, the feeling of disappointment may disappear after a short while or hang over your life for an extended period of time. If not handled properly, disappointments can lead to depression and eventually lack

55、of concern.Contrary to what people may think, disappointments are actually positive phenomena, for two main reasons.1. Passion toward a causeDisappointment is the reflection of your passion toward something, whether it is a certain goal, dream, desire or outcome. Wherever there is a cause, there wil

56、l be an effect - in this case, the passion is the cause and disappointment is the effect. If you dont care about something, you wouldnt be feeling disappointed, would you? The very presence of disappointment suggests that this is something you care about so much that you would feel bad over it. The

57、higher your disappointment, the stronger your passion for this is.As Martin Luther King Jr puts it, “There can be no deep disappointment where there is not deep love.” This deep love is what drives you toward your goals, dreams and desires. This deep love will be what fuels you in life, bringing you

58、 to places you have never been before. This deep love is what makes life worth living. Remember that disappointment is always a better emotional state than neutrality where the individual feels indifferent toward anything. I would much rather be feeling a negative emotion any day than feeling absolu

59、tely nothing. The ability to feel is what sets us apart from non-living beings. To feel nothing is to be a robot or a machine.2. Representing an opportunity for progressDisappointment also signals an opportunity for progress and growth. If you are disappointed in an outcome, it means there is actual

60、ly a certain error in your framework of thought which needs correcting.Whenever you are disappointed, it means you have certain mental illusions (错觉) about reality which you need to address. If your understanding of reality are always right, you will never feel disappointed at all. By correcting you

61、r illusions and getting a more accurate picture of the reality, you are equipped with more knowledge. This knowledge is a source of power, power for you to act toward your goals.Think of disappointment as a troubleshooting tool which helps you iron out the twists in your understanding of reality. By

62、 using the knowledge from your previous experience, you can act more accurately toward your desires. The more you deal with disappointment and learn from it, the closer you will get toward your goals and dreams.TitleWhy Disappointment Is Good(66)_Disappointment is dissatisfaction with unexpected out
