As an intern (实习医生), I grew to understand that nursing home (疗养所) patients was a valuable part of my education---not just from a 21 angle, but for what they could 22 me personally.
Mr. Smith was my first 23 to the nursing home. His condition, regrettably, can probably exist in countless hospitals across our nation. An acute illness had brought him to our nursing home years ago, and his family 34 him shortly before he left hospital. Helpless and unable to care for himself, he had no 25 except for nursing home care, 26 he lay until I met him when I was an intern.
Mr. Smith was almost non-communicative. After transferring to the nursing home, he 27 into a tense and 28 state, waiting for his life to end. All efforts to bring him back to the mainstream life were 29 . Nurses faithfully tended to his physical needs, while he 30 as a shell of flesh and bone, completely 31 in life. For three years, I saw him every week, but not once did I hear him speak a word. Not once could I 32 his innermost thoughts.
On my last nursing home visit, an idea struck me. I brought my 33 into Mr. Smith’s room as part of a(n) 34 in “pet treatment.” Something 35 occurred. All of a sudden, he sat up and started talking, telling me of the days when he was a boy and had a dog 36 to my own. He told me stories of adventures he and his dog had had. For the first time, I saw the soul 37 from what had been a living corpse (尸体).
That experience taught me not to underestimate the ability of the simple things in life to 38 hearts when carefully-made medicine has failed, and never to forget that within even the weakest of human bodies lies a life that is precious indeed--- 39 that needs to be 40 and honored, even if it can’t speak for itself.
21. A. mental B. medical C. personal D. moral

28. A. lonely B. desperate C. calm D. exciting
29. A. without meaning B. without doubt C. in vain D. in effect
30. A. looked B. left C. remained D. showed

第二部分：阅读理解 (第一节20小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分50分)
第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。
A
Where you save your money often depends on what you are saving for. If you are saving to buy a dictionary or to go to a concert, then you will probably keep your money somewhere in your room.
If you are saving for a big purchase like a mountain bike or a school trip, where would you save your money? One place to save money is the bank. Putting your money in a savings account will help your money earn more money. If you put your money in a piggy bank(猪形储蓄罐), one year later you’ll still have the same amount of money you put in. If you put your money in a savings account, one year later, you’ll have more money than you put in. Why?
When you keep your money in a bank, your money earns interest. Interest is the amount of money a bank pays you to use your money. The bank uses your money (and the money of other people, too) to loan money to people and businesses.
The bank will send you a statement several times a year. A bank statement tells you how much money there is in your account. It also tells you how much interest you have earned. If you leave your money in the bank, you can watch it grow!
Another way you can save money is to buy a certificate of deposit or CD. If you have some money that you don’t need to use for a long time, this is a good way to make your money grow. You can buy a CD at a bank. You agree not to use the money for a certain period of time. That period might be from six months to five years. You can’t touch your money during that time. If you do, you must pay a penalty(违约金), or fee.
Since the bank is using your money for that time period, it will pay you interest. You will earn more interest with a CD than in a savings account. Can you guess why? It’s because you promise to leave your money in the bank for a certain period of time. Banks pay different rates of interest. So, you may want to compare rates in newspaper ads before buying a CD.
41. Which way will help your money earn more money?
A. Putting your money in your room.
B. Putting your money in a piggy bank.
C. Putting your money in your pocket.
D. Putting your money in a savings account
42. Interest is the amount of money which ________.
A. a bank lends to people
B. a bank loans to businesses
C. a bank pays you
D. a bank uses
43. A bank statement tells you ________.
A. the amount of money you have in the bank
B. the current rates of interest
C. the current rates of exchange
D. the best way to save your money
44. The word “touch” in paragraph 5 could be best replaced by ________.
A. deposit B. borrow C. use D. cash
B

Children’s Books: Hawking’s fact and fiction
George F. R. Ellis & Ruby
BOOK REVIEWED---George’s Secret Key to the Universe
by Lucy & Stephen Hawking
Stephen Hawking’s book A Brief History of Time was a huge commercial success. Its achievements in bringing difficult scientific ideas to a wide audience are not so clear. Now the distinguished physicist has teamed up with his daughter Lucy to produce a children’s book designed to communicate contemporary physics. Will it capture the attention of young minds and teach them some real science? Or will it be boring and over the heads of the prospective readers?
George’s Secret Key to the Universe is an adventure story complete with villains（反面人物）and hero and is illustrated with enjoyable line-drawings. It involves a lost pig, a humorously portrayed（描写）intelligent computer, school bullies and a trip through the Solar System. Didactic discussions on aspects of modern physics, such as supernova(超新星) explosions and black-hole physics are hung on this set-up. There are also fact boxes on physics and astronomy, and some photographs of astronomical phenomena: planets, comets, galaxies(星系) and so on. Overall, the book is a serious effort to convey facts and ideas in present day astronomy and astrophysics, within a science-fiction adventure story.
The mixture is great. Children love facts and adventure stories. The combination will catch their interest and keep them occupied for hours. After ten minutes of leafing through the book, my granddaughter Ruby was deeply absorbed and I had to promise to bring it back for her to read after I had completed my review. Like any educational tool, it will succeed for some and not for others. I suppose there should be more of the former.
49. Where do you think this passage is taken?
A. From a news story. B. From a textbook.
C. From a book review. D. From an advertisement.
50. Which of the following books is mainly reviewed in this passage?
A. George’s Secret Key to the Universe
B. A Brief History of Time
C. The Nature of Space and Time
D. Hawking’s fact and fiction
51. What is the author’s attitude towards the book being reviewed?
A. It will be less successful. B. It will be more successful.
C. It will be a complete failure. D. It all depends on Ruby.
52. The underlined part “leafing through” (in the last paragraph) probably means ________.
A. adding leaves to B. throwing away
C. tearing up D. turning pages of
D
WILD WEATHERMAN
Name: Sam Champion
Hot job: TV Weatherman
Where: WABC-TV, New York City
When you were a child, did you plan to forecast wind, rain, and snow on TV?
I wanted to be a foreign journalist. I took courses in weather science at Eastern Kentucky University, but I majored in broadcasting news.
How did you finally become a weatherman?
My first job in the early 80’s was at the local TV station in Paducah, Kentucky. I did everything from turning on the lights in the morning to writing and delivering morning news. I put together weather forecasts, and became interested in them.
Back then, how did you forecast weather?
Independent companies collected computer information that showed, for example, how a single weather system might split into snow or snow mixed with rain. The information was often opposite and the job of a weatherman was to study the information and make the best educated guess about the storm.
Has weather forecasting changed much with new technology?
Advanced computers, satellites, and Doppler radar (sound waves used to track storms) have made forecasting more exact. But we still know very little about how weather is shaped. So far, we just have theories.
Any advice for children who’d like to become weather scientists?
To me, weather is the most exciting field in the world. There are still so many more questions about weather than answers. After all, if we can’t foresee floods or hurricanes, how safe a society are we? Weather forecasting is wide open for scientists who love to solve puzzling problems. The next generation of meteorologists (weather scientists) will unlock many of Earth’s weather secrets. So get a general knowledge of Earth science, and study meteorology (weather science) in college.
Thanks, Sam.
53. Judging from the writing style, the text is ________.
A. a diary B. an interview C. a news story D. an announcement
54. As a child, ABC-TV’s Sam Champion wanted to be a ________.
A. space scientist B. weatherman C. news reporter D. meteorologist
55. Present weather forecasting technology ________.
A. has made weather report more exact than ever
B. is still not perfect
C. hasn’t changed much in the last 50 years
D. both A and B
56. The study of weather science is called ________.
A meteorology B forecasting C geography D Earth science

Books are not Nadia Konyk’s thing. Her mother brings them home from the library, but Nadia rarely shows interest. Instead, like so many other teenagers, Nadia, 15, is addicted to the Internet. She regularly spends at least six hours a day in front of the computer, spending most of her time reading and commenting on stories written by other users. Her mother, Deborah Konyk, would prefer that Nadia read books for a change.
As teenagers’ scores on reading tests have declined, some argue that the hours spent surfing the Internet are the enemy of reading---destroying a precious common culture that exists only through the reading of books. Critics have warned that electronic media would destroy reading.
Others say the Internet has created a new kind of reading. The Web inspires a teenager like Nadia, who might otherwise spend most of her leisure time watching television, to read and write. What is different now, some literacy experts say, is that spending time on the Web engages viewers with text.
Web supporters believe that strong readers on the Web may eventually surpass those who rely on books. Reading five Web sites, experts say, can be more enriching than reading one book. “It takes a long time to read a 400-page book,” said Spiro. “In a tenth of the time,” he said, the Internet allows a reader to “cover a lot more of the topic from different points of view.”
Some literacy experts say that reading itself should be redefined. Interpreting videos or pictures, they say, may be as important a skill as analyzing a novel or a poem. “Kids are using sound and images so they have a world of ideas to put together,” said Donna Alvermann, a professor of literacy education at the University of Georgia. “Books aren't out of the picture, but they’re only one way of experiencing information in the world today.”
Next year, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, which gives reading, math and science tests to 15-year-old students in more than 50 countries, will add an electronic reading component (软件). The United States says it will not participate because an additional test would overburden schools.
57. Why are books not the thing of Nadia Konyk?
A. She does reading mainly through electronic media.
B. Her mother doesn’t provide her with enough books.
C. She has become addicted to playing games on the web.
D. Like many youngsters, she has lost interest in reading.
58. How many hours does Nadia spend in front of the computer in a week?
A. Exactly forty-two hours.
B. Usually fifty hours.
C. More than forty hours.
D. At most thirty-six hours.
59. Which of the following statements is correct according to the passage?
A. To search for information on the web engages viewers without text.
B. To explain videos is a technique more important than analyzing a novel.
C. Children using sound and images may lose their interest in movies.
D. People reading well online may surpass those who rely on books.
60. Why did the US refuse to participate in the tests with an added electronic reading component?
A. Because the teachers and students considered it useless.
B. Because such a test would give schools more extra work.
C. Because they thought reading was the only way to get information.
D. Because none of them showed interest in such an additional test.
第二节：阅读下列材料，从所给的六个选项（A、B、C、D、E和F）中，选出符合各小题要求的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余项。
Directions: The following people are going to take part in job interviews. Match the interviews (marked with A, B, C, D, E and F) with the people so that they can have a greater chance of being employed. There is one extra paragraph that you don’t need.
61. Tom is a university student graduating soon. He is smart, swift and quick-minded. He is fond of challenges. He can react to sudden changes very well.
62. Mary is a graduate who often can communicate and cooperate with others well and can make friends easily.
63. Tim is a hardworking person. He has done several jobs but still hasn’t found his favorite. Every time before he goes for an interview, he’ll make full preparations as to what interviewers may ask about him.
64. Helen has worked in an advertising company for 8 years before and now she is considering finding a job in a bigger advertising company. She is a talented woman and possesses outstanding skills.
65. Mike is a brave and honest person. He often says what’s in the mind. He has many true friends.
A
You’ll be asked a lot of questions concerning a wide variety of subjects. For example, you will be asked about the political affairs to see whether you keep an eye on the things happening at home and abroad. Of course, you should also know about the company itself very well—the basic information, the policy, the market, and the potential.
B
You may be interviewed with one or two other interviewees. The interviewer may ask you to solve problems which require you and your partner to work together. It’s as important to lead as to listen. So, team spirit matters.
C
The interviewer explores certain predetermined areas using questions which have been written in advance. You may be required to list your past experience, skills and personality. Your experience and skills are compared to specific job tasks to see whether you are fit for the job.
D
The interviewer intentionally attempts to upset you to see how you react under pressure. You may be asked questions that make you uncomfortable or you may be interrupted when you are speaking. At those times, your quick responses count.
E
In some job interviews, you will be asked about your social relationship. Sometimes, the interviewer will even ask you how much hard liquor (酒) you can drink. Just keep to the fact, or you’ll suffer later.
F
Situations are set up which simulate (copy) common problems you may meet with on the job. Your responses to these situations are measured against predetermined standards. The way of dealing with the problem really matters. The interviewers can determine whether you have the basic qualifications for the job.

One possible version:
The results of the survey show that the majority of students (73.3%) disagree to this kind of practice. They think, if they have the answers with them, they can check their homework the moment they finish doing it. In this way, they can make sure they have right answers. If wrong, they can correct them right away. They think it will improve their studies.
On the other hand, about one fifth of the students (18.6%) agree to it. They think it prevents some students copying the answers and helps to increase their self-confidence. Thus, they will think more for themselves.

As an intern (实习医生), I grew to understand that nursing home (疗养所) patients was a valuable part of my education---not just from a 21 angle, but for what they could 22 me personally.
Mr. Smith was my first 23 to the nursing home. His condition, regrettably, can probably exist in countless hospitals across our nation. An acute illness had brought him to our nursing home years ago, and his family 34 him shortly before he left hospital. Helpless and unable to care for himself, he had no 25 except for nursing home care, 26 he lay until I met him when I was an intern.
Mr. Smith was almost non-communicative. After transferring to the nursing home, he 27 into a tense and 28 state, waiting for his life to end. All efforts to bring him back to the mainstream life were 29 . Nurses faithfully tended to his physical needs, while he 30 as a shell of flesh and bone, completely 31 in life. For three years, I saw him every week, but not once did I hear him speak a word. Not once could I 32 his innermost thoughts.
On my last nursing home visit, an idea struck me. I brought my 33 into Mr. Smith’s room as part of a(n) 34 in “pet treatment.” Something 35 occurred. All of a sudden, he sat up and started talking, telling me of the days when he was a boy and had a dog 36 to my own. He told me stories of adventures he and his dog had had. For the first time, I saw the soul 37 from what had been a living corpse (尸体).
That experience taught me not to underestimate the ability of the simple things in life to 38 hearts when carefully-made medicine has failed, and never to forget that within even the weakest of human bodies lies a life that is precious indeed--- 39 that needs to be 40 and honored, even if it can’t speak for itself.

第二部分：阅读理解 (第一节20小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分50分)
第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。
A
Where you save your money often depends on what you are saving for. If you are saving to buy a dictionary or to go to a concert, then you will probably keep your money somewhere in your room.
If you are saving for a big purchase like a mountain bike or a school trip, where would you save your money? One place to save money is the bank. Putting your money in a savings account will help your money earn more money. If you put your money in a piggy bank(猪形储蓄罐), one year later you’ll still have the same amount of money you put in. If you put your money in a savings account, one year later, you’ll have more money than you put in. Why?
When you keep your money in a bank, your money earns interest. Interest is the amount of money a bank pays you to use your money. The bank uses your money (and the money of other people, too) to loan money to people and businesses.
The bank will send you a statement several times a year. A bank statement tells you how much money there is in your account. It also tells you how much interest you have earned. If you leave your money in the bank, you can watch it grow!
Another way you can save money is to buy a certificate of deposit or CD. If you have some money that you don’t need to use for a long time, this is a good way to make your money grow. You can buy a CD at a bank. You agree not to use the money for a certain period of time. That period might be from six months to five years. You can’t touch your money during that time. If you do, you must pay a penalty(违约金), or fee.
Since the bank is using your money for that time period, it will pay you interest. You will earn more interest with a CD than in a savings account. Can you guess why? It’s because you promise to leave your money in the bank for a certain period of time. Banks pay different rates of interest. So, you may want to compare rates in newspaper ads before buying a CD.
41. Which way will help your money earn more money?
A. Putting your money in your room.
B. Putting your money in a piggy bank.
C. Putting your money in your pocket.
D. Putting your money in a savings account
42. Interest is the amount of money which ________.
A. a bank lends to people
B. a bank loans to businesses
C. a bank pays you
D. a bank uses
43. A bank statement tells you ________.
A. the amount of money you have in the bank
B. the current rates of interest
C. the current rates of exchange
D. the best way to save your money
44. The word “touch” in paragraph 5 could be best replaced by ________.
A. deposit B. borrow C. use D. cash
B

Children’s Books: Hawking’s fact and fiction
George F. R. Ellis & Ruby
BOOK REVIEWED---George’s Secret Key to the Universe
by Lucy & Stephen Hawking
Stephen Hawking’s book A Brief History of Time was a huge commercial success. Its achievements in bringing difficult scientific ideas to a wide audience are not so clear. Now the distinguished physicist has teamed up with his daughter Lucy to produce a children’s book designed to communicate contemporary physics. Will it capture the attention of young minds and teach them some real science? Or will it be boring and over the heads of the prospective readers?
George’s Secret Key to the Universe is an adventure story complete with villains（反面人物）and hero and is illustrated with enjoyable line-drawings. It involves a lost pig, a humorously portrayed（描写）intelligent computer, school bullies and a trip through the Solar System. Didactic discussions on aspects of modern physics, such as supernova(超新星) explosions and black-hole physics are hung on this set-up. There are also fact boxes on physics and astronomy, and some photographs of astronomical phenomena: planets, comets, galaxies(星系) and so on. Overall, the book is a serious effort to convey facts and ideas in present day astronomy and astrophysics, within a science-fiction adventure story.
The mixture is great. Children love facts and adventure stories. The combination will catch their interest and keep them occupied for hours. After ten minutes of leafing through the book, my granddaughter Ruby was deeply absorbed and I had to promise to bring it back for her to read after I had completed my review. Like any educational tool, it will succeed for some and not for others. I suppose there should be more of the former.
49. Where do you think this passage is taken?
A. From a news story. B. From a textbook.
C. From a book review. D. From an advertisement.
50. Which of the following books is mainly reviewed in this passage?
A. George’s Secret Key to the Universe
B. A Brief History of Time
C. The Nature of Space and Time
D. Hawking’s fact and fiction
51. What is the author’s attitude towards the book being reviewed?
A. It will be less successful. B. It will be more successful.
C. It will be a complete failure. D. It all depends on Ruby.
52. The underlined part “leafing through” (in the last paragraph) probably means ________.
A. adding leaves to B. throwing away
C. tearing up D. turning pages of
D
WILD WEATHERMAN
Name: Sam Champion
Hot job: TV Weatherman
Where: WABC-TV, New York City
When you were a child, did you plan to forecast wind, rain, and snow on TV?
I wanted to be a foreign journalist. I took courses in weather science at Eastern Kentucky University, but I majored in broadcasting news.
How did you finally become a weatherman?
My first job in the early 80’s was at the local TV station in Paducah, Kentucky. I did everything from turning on the lights in the morning to writing and delivering morning news. I put together weather forecasts, and became interested in them.
Back then, how did you forecast weather?
Independent companies collected computer information that showed, for example, how a single weather system might split into snow or snow mixed with rain. The information was often opposite and the job of a weatherman was to study the information and make the best educated guess about the storm.
Has weather forecasting changed much with new technology?
Advanced computers, satellites, and Doppler radar (sound waves used to track storms) have made forecasting more exact. But we still know very little about how weather is shaped. So far, we just have theories.
Any advice for children who’d like to become weather scientists?
To me, weather is the most exciting field in the world. There are still so many more questions about weather than answers. After all, if we can’t foresee floods or hurricanes, how safe a society are we? Weather forecasting is wide open for scientists who love to solve puzzling problems. The next generation of meteorologists (weather scientists) will unlock many of Earth’s weather secrets. So get a general knowledge of Earth science, and study meteorology (weather science) in college.
Thanks, Sam.
53. Judging from the writing style, the text is ________.
A. a diary B. an interview C. a news story D. an announcement
54. As a child, ABC-TV’s Sam Champion wanted to be a ________.
A. space scientist B. weatherman C. news reporter D. meteorologist
55. Present weather forecasting technology ________.
A. has made weather report more exact than ever
B. is still not perfect
C. hasn’t changed much in the last 50 years
D. both A and B
56. The study of weather science is called ________.
A meteorology B forecasting C geography D Earth science

Books are not Nadia Konyk’s thing. Her mother brings them home from the library, but Nadia rarely shows interest. Instead, like so many other teenagers, Nadia, 15, is addicted to the Internet. She regularly spends at least six hours a day in front of the computer, spending most of her time reading and commenting on stories written by other users. Her mother, Deborah Konyk, would prefer that Nadia read books for a change.
As teenagers’ scores on reading tests have declined, some argue that the hours spent surfing the Internet are the enemy of reading---destroying a precious common culture that exists only through the reading of books. Critics have warned that electronic media would destroy reading.
Others say the Internet has created a new kind of reading. The Web inspires a teenager like Nadia, who might otherwise spend most of her leisure time watching television, to read and write. What is different now, some literacy experts say, is that spending time on the Web engages viewers with text.
Web supporters believe that strong readers on the Web may eventually surpass those who rely on books. Reading five Web sites, experts say, can be more enriching than reading one book. “It takes a long time to read a 400-page book,” said Spiro. “In a tenth of the time,” he said, the Internet allows a reader to “cover a lot more of the topic from different points of view.”
Some literacy experts say that reading itself should be redefined. Interpreting videos or pictures, they say, may be as important a skill as analyzing a novel or a poem. “Kids are using sound and images so they have a world of ideas to put together,” said Donna Alvermann, a professor of literacy education at the University of Georgia. “Books aren't out of the picture, but they’re only one way of experiencing information in the world today.”
Next year, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, which gives reading, math and science tests to 15-year-old students in more than 50 countries, will add an electronic reading component (软件). The United States says it will not participate because an additional test would overburden schools.
57. Why are books not the thing of Nadia Konyk?
A. She does reading mainly through electronic media.
B. Her mother doesn’t provide her with enough books.
C. She has become addicted to playing games on the web.
D. Like many youngsters, she has lost interest in reading.
58. How many hours does Nadia spend in front of the computer in a week?
A. Exactly forty-two hours.
B. Usually fifty hours.
C. More than forty hours.
D. At most thirty-six hours.
59. Which of the following statements is correct according to the passage?
A. To search for information on the web engages viewers without text.
B. To explain videos is a technique more important than analyzing a novel.
C. Children using sound and images may lose their interest in movies.
D. People reading well online may surpass those who rely on books.
60. Why did the US refuse to participate in the tests with an added electronic reading component?
A. Because the teachers and students considered it useless.
B. Because such a test would give schools more extra work.
C. Because they thought reading was the only way to get information.
D. Because none of them showed interest in such an additional test.

Directions: The following people are going to take part in job interviews. Match the interviews (marked with A, B, C, D, E and F) with the people so that they can have a greater chance of being employed. There is one extra paragraph that you don’t need.
61. Tom is a university student graduating soon. He is smart, swift and quick-minded. He is fond of challenges. He can react to sudden changes very well.
62. Mary is a graduate who often can communicate and cooperate with others well and can make friends easily.
63. Tim is a hardworking person. He has done several jobs but still hasn’t found his favorite. Every time before he goes for an interview, he’ll make full preparations as to what interviewers may ask about him.
64. Helen has worked in an advertising company for 8 years before and now she is considering finding a job in a bigger advertising company. She is a talented woman and possesses outstanding skills.
65. Mike is a brave and honest person. He often says what’s in the mind. He has many true friends.
A
You’ll be asked a lot of questions concerning a wide variety of subjects. For example, you will be asked about the political affairs to see whether you keep an eye on the things happening at home and abroad. Of course, you should also know about the company itself very well—the basic information, the policy, the market, and the potential.
B
You may be interviewed with one or two other interviewees. The interviewer may ask you to solve problems which require you and your partner to work together. It’s as important to lead as to listen. So, team spirit matters.
C
The interviewer explores certain predetermined areas using questions which have been written in advance. You may be required to list your past experience, skills and personality. Your experience and skills are compared to specific job tasks to see whether you are fit for the job.
D
The interviewer intentionally attempts to upset you to see how you react under pressure. You may be asked questions that make you uncomfortable or you may be interrupted when you are speaking. At those times, your quick responses count.
E
In some job interviews, you will be asked about your social relationship. Sometimes, the interviewer will even ask you how much hard liquor (酒) you can drink. Just keep to the fact, or you’ll suffer later.
F
Situations are set up which simulate (copy) common problems you may meet with on the job. Your responses to these situations are measured against predetermined standards. The way of dealing with the problem really matters. The interviewers can determine whether you have the basic qualifications for the job.

One possible version:
The results of the survey show that the majority of students (73.3%) disagree to this kind of practice. They think, if they have the answers with them, they can check their homework the moment they finish doing it. In this way, they can make sure they have right answers. If wrong, they can correct them right away. They think it will improve their studies.
On the other hand, about one fifth of the students (18.6%) agree to it. They think it prevents some students copying the answers and helps to increase their self-confidence. Thus, they will think more for themselves.
In my opinion,
