The tree blocked the view and made the office seem dull. Unfortunately, this happened to be the room assigned(分配)to me, and l was depressed by it for quite some time.

Some couples spend every waking minute together. Others fill their hours with personal hobbies,outside interests and even part-time jobs, just to keep their distance from each other! "There should beprivate time and couple time," suggests Dr. Stephen Treat at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia."You don't want your latter years to turn into a process where two people unite as one. If you hold tootightly to your partner, it's going to cause resentment and anger. If you're completely separate, you'llboth be lonely and disconnected. You need balance. So you have to talk about how vou'll achieve that."

The right baiance? It's different for every couple. "Having a conversation about time can be difficult,but it's important for both partners to process those feelings out loud," Dr. Treat says. "You should notbe accusing and act as a judge - ask the difficult questions, but do it in a loving way. You could saysomething like, 'How are we going to be as individuals and how are we going to be as a couple?' "

Barbara and Chris Christensen have achieved the balance that works for them. In addition to daily

routines that keep them close - including about 10 minutes for a daily check-in and about a half hourof relaxation time - they each maintain separate interests and friendships.

"We have found that we need time apart," Barbara says. "I have a group of women friends that Ihave known for the last 30 years. We have dinner out once a month. We women also have parties and weekend or weeklong vacations as a group at a beach or somewhere. Chris, a former fighter pilot, has

many aviation-oriented(航空的) groups and friends and also a penny-ante poker-playing  (玩扑克)

group of our friends. I may be with him during the poker night, but I don't play, and the wives usually

watch a cchick flick' DVD or something while the poker group has an evening of fun. We have found itimportant to have separate time as well as together time."

61. The author writes the passage to _              .

A. offer some suggestions on how to spend the time afier retirement

B. advise couples to develop their separate hobbies

C. warn couples not to be accusing of each other

D. give people some advice on how to entertain themselves after retirement

A maths talent who won fame this week for giving up a million-dollar prize is living with his mother in a simple flat in St Petersburg, co-existing on her ~30-a-month pension, because he has been

unemployed for many years.

The Sunday Telegraph tracked down the strange recluse (隐士 ) who shocked the maths world when  he solved a century-old puzzle known as the Poincare Conjecture.

Grigory Perelman's trouble comes from a split with a leading Russian mathematical institute, the

Steklov, in 2003. When the Institute in St Petersburg failed to re-elect him as a member, Dr Perelman

was left feeling an "absolutely ungified and untalented person", said a friend. He becEune unconfident and cut himself off.

Other friends say he cannot afford to travel to the International Mathematical Union's congress inMadrid, where many people want him to receive the maths equivalent(等价物) of the Nobel Prize, and that he is too modest to ask anyone to pay for his trip.

Interviewed in St Petersburg, Dr Perelman insisted that he was unworthy of all the attention, and

was uninterested in the prize.“I do not think anything that I say can be ofthe slightest public interest"

he said. "I am not saying that because I value my privacy, or that I am doing anything I want to hide.

There are no top-secret projects going on here. Ijust believe the public has no interest in me."

He continued: "I know that self-promotion happens a lot and if people want to do that, good luck

to them, bjt I do not regard it as a positive thing. I realised this a long time ago and nobody is going to

change my mind. Newspapers sliould be more discerning(有洞察力的) over who they write about.

They should have more taste. As far as I am concerned, I can't offer anything for their readers."

Dr Perelman has some small savings from his time as a lecturer, but is apparently unwilling to increase them with the $1 million offered by the Clay Mathematics Institute in Cambridge,Massachusetts, for solving one ofthe world's seven "Millennium Problems".

66. Grigory Perelman lives with his mother because

A. he has to look after her

B. his mother has a million dollars

C. he has been out of work for a long time

D. he is badly paid at the mathematical institute

67. The phrase "absolutely ungified and untalented person" shows that Dr Perelman felt

A. angry      B. discouraged    C. proud        D. confident

68. Grigory Perelman refused to accept the prize because .

A. he thought the prize was worthless

B. he didn't believe the news

C. he couldn't afford to travel to Madrid

D. he showed no interest in it

69. From the passage, we can infer that Grigory Perelman

A. solved the most difficult maths problem

B. has a strong personality

C. wanted to make himself known to all

D. didn't get on well with the press

70. What's the best title for the passage?

A. Great Mathematician Leads Simple Life

B. Maths Genius Abandons a Million-dollar Prize

C. Mathematics Institute Offers Grigory $1 Million

D. One ofthe World's Seven "Millennium Probtems" Solved

第四部分书面表达（共二节，满分45分）

第一节阅读表达（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分1

阅读下面短文，并根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的字数要求）。

Electronic devices(装置) are changing the way people listen to music. But studies show the devices may be causing hearing loss in many people. Some experts say people may be playing them too loud and too long. And experts say sound levels on these devices need to be set lower.

Researchers did a study with three hundred high school students and one thousand adults. They were asked about their use of portable music devices. Forty percent of the  students and adults said they set the sound levels at high on their players. But students were twice more likely to play the music at a very loud volume(音量). More than half of the students said they would probably not limit their listening time.

The study found that more than half of the students and less than forty percent of the adults had at least one kind of hearing loss. Some reported difficulty hearing parts of a discussion between two people. Others said they had to raise volume controls on a television or radio to hear it better. And, some experienced ringing in their ears or other noises.

Hearing experts say part of the problem is the listening equipment people are using. They say large earphones that cover the whole ear are probably safer than the smaller earbuds(耳塞) that come with most music players. Hearing loss may not be obvious for years, however, once it happens, there is few chance of curing. About thirty million Americans have some hearing loss. One third of them lost their hearing as a result of loud noises.

The American Speech-language-Hearing Association is working with companies and government officials on setting rules for use of portable music devices. The group says the best way to protect your hearing is to _______, limit listening time and use earphones that block out foreign noises.
