One sixth of undergraduates (本科生) in Beijing this year have registered at a driving school. The students, mostly from majors such as business management or international trade, will finish their driving courses within 20 days or so.

“In the job market, owning a driver’s permit sometimes strengthens a graduating student’s competitiveness for a good position,” says Zhou Yang, an undergraduate at the China University of Political Science and Law.
Cars will become a necessary part of many people’s lives in the coming years, and it’s difficult to get a permit out of campus because of the pressures on working people’s time. “Having a full-time job after graduation offers limited time to learn to drive.

Xu Jian, an official at the driving school, said undergraduates were very able and serious, and could grasp in an hour what it took ordinary people four hours to learn. In this driving school, middle-aged people, young women and college students are the main customers.

The oldest forms of medicine are enjoying a comeback. Modern holistic medicine is an approach that treats the whole patient, not just the disease. It is a way to maintain good health rather than cure illness. The most important influences on today’s holistic medicine are ancient Chinese medicine and Indian Ayurvedic medicine, both of which promoted whole body health.
Holistic medicine usually combines diet, physical exercise and meditation, together with other
alternative techniques such as massage and acupuncture. Herbal
treatment, a practice of treating illness by using plants, is influenced by the
writings of Culpeper as well as Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine. Homeopathy（順勢療法）is one of the forms of holistic
medicine which is widely practiced in Europe and the USA. Homeopathy began in
Meditation
and contemplation have an important role in holistic medicine. They were
brought to
The holistic movement has made many doctors look at the whole patient, not just the disease. Life-style, emotional problems and diet are just some of the factors that can affect a person’s health. Holistic medicine emphasizes good diet, exercise and fresh air, all of which contribute to health. Some clinics now offer holistic medicine along with traditional treatments, so that their patients can choose a combination of treatments that suits them. One problem with holistic medicine is that it is difficult for people to be sure that a doctor is reliable. To solve this, many countries want alternative doctors to form professional bodies.
52. Modern holistic medicine centers upon ______.
A. curing a disease B. herbal treatment
C. continuous development D. keeping patients healthy
53. Which of the following does NOT belong to holistic medicine?

55. Which of the following titles best sums up the passage?

C. History of Medicine D. Combination of Treatments Works
56. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Relaxation is the key of holistic treatment.

D. Holistic medicine will become the most welcome treatment soon.

You feel happiest when you create a healthy balance between giving and receiving. If you give and give without making time to fill your own needs, then it’s likely you will burn out, or feel upset. When you take and take without giving anything back, you never feel fulfilled, so you are always searching for ways to fill the void in your life.
The way to create a healthy balance between giving and receiving is to know and then live by your values. I break values up into two groups which I call being and having values. Your being values are the character traits of the ideal person you would like to be. I suggest to my clients that they choose three being values that they are willing to make a commitment to live by. An example of some being values are: kind, loving, generous, inspirational, peaceful, wise and even powerful. By acting on these values you give to others through your actions and you inspire others by being a positive role model. Mastering being these character traits becomes your life purpose.
Your having values are the feelings you need to create in order to be happy. These could be companionship, achievement, and support, being valued or financial security. This is what you receive. You take responsibility for filling your own needs by taking steps to create these feelings and conditions in your life.
When you make a commitment to live by your being values, it becomes easier to make conscious choices rather than reactionary ones. If your usual pattern is to talk about your problems, you could choose to think and act like a calm person. A calm person might go for a walk, meditate (沉思), or set a time limit before responding. If your usual pattern is to worry, you could choose to act like a responsible or wise person. In other words, you would act like the person you choose to be―this is the key to personal power.
When you choose to act on your values, you not only feel good about yourself, you reinforce（加強）your chosen beliefs. Over time acting in this way changes how you see the world, and in turn the way other people think of you.
57. The main purpose of this passage is to _____.
A. persuade the readers to make a commitment
B. explain to the readers what personal values are
C. inform the readers how to be truly happy
D. instruct the readers how to make wise choices
58. According to the text, living by your being values, you would ______.
A. gain a lot of power B. form positive personality
C. seek all human virtues D. fill your own needs
59. The underlined word “void” in Paragraph 1 means ______.
A. a feeling of emptiness B. an absence of one’s mind
C. a break of continuity D. a state of confusion
60. What can be inferred from the text?
A. Having values are better than being values.
B. A calm person does not choose to complain.
C. The way other people think of you decides who you are.
D. A responsible person does not care about financial security.
