The results of a face-lift(面部拉皮整容手术) can seem miraculous, but patients beware plastic surgery and passports don't always mix.
A woman who was returning home after having a face-lift in South Korea left immigration officials at Shanghai Pudong International Airport scratching their heads on Monday as they struggled to match the man-made beauty before them with the picture in her passport.
A policeman surnamed Liu stopped the woman because of the obvious difference in her appearance. "Is this really your passport? The woman in the photo is square-faced, but your face is oval-shaped," he said. The woman told Liu that she had traveled to South Korea for a surgical procedure to have her chin built up and her jaw-line reshaped. Liu then telephoned the woman's employer and asked her boss to send him copies of the photos appearing in the woman's work permit. As expected, the squared-face woman in those pictures bore little resemblance to the woman in the immigration queue. Liu and his colleagues then contacted the woman's family. After chatting with members of the woman's family, the police finally accepted that the woman was who she said she was.
"This sort of thing happened approximately 10 times in the past year," Fan Hongxiang, a police officer who works at the airport, told China Daily. Fan recalled that on April 26, 2006, police struggled to identify a Japanese tourist who had lost 35 kilograms and looked nothing like the photo in his passport. After some investigative work, they eventually verified the man's identity. Fan urged Shanghai residents who had undergone plastic surgery or whose facial features had changed significantly to provide police with current photographs to avoid confusion in places like immigration queues. Insiders have said that it is trendy(时髦的) for young women to fly to South Korea for plastic surgery.

Some people succeed, while others may not. This is because some people possess certain qualities, which others do not.
The first thing you must remember is that in order to succeed, you must be optimistic. If you do not expect to win, you will not try as hard as those who do expect to win. You also need to have a clear aim and a reason for doing something because motivation is a key to achieving success. If you do not have an aim, then you will not be motivated to work hard and put your performance under the microscope to make sure that every detail is right.
Another quality that helps people succeed is creativity---thinking about things in a different way and wondering how others would do the same thing. Think about some successful people you know. They might be successful with a little creativity, but the most successful people are the most creative ones.
Reading is another to success, as it will help you learn about how other people have achieved success. If you want to learn how to set up a successful business, you should read books about people like Bill Gates and Jerry Yang, who have achieved amazing success in their areas of business.
Practicing is equally important if you want to success because practice makes perfect. Practise every day at whatever career you are in, and by doing so, you will see yourself, your business and your self-confidence begin to grow. If you feel confident about what you do, this confidence will make other people believe in you as well. Your colleagues will be happy to work with you, and your boss will give you more responsibility. Finally if you are a successful person, you will be able to look people in the eye and smile confidently.
Success is yours for the taking! Cheers!

第五部分 书面表达（满分25分）
最近，网上展开一场关于“教科书是否要循环使用”的辩论。假如你是Li Hua，请你向报社写信谈谈你自己的一些想法。要点如下：
1.据说我国的教科书寿命一般是半年，而美国则是五年。这说明浪费严重；
2.我国有两亿两千万学生，每年要用三十亿本教科书，这就需要消耗一千一百万棵树木。如果将教科书的寿命在延长一年的话，那么将节省好多树木；
3.许多贫困家庭的学生买不起教科书，如果将不用的教科书赠给他们岂不是更好？
4.你的看法（至少两点）。
要求：1.语句通顺，结构合理；
2.开头和结尾已给出，不记入总词数（字数：150左右）
3.参考词汇：lifespan 寿命

One possible version:
Dear Editor,
Recently there has been an argument about the reuse of textbooks on the internet. I am writing to talk about it.
As we all know, the average lifespan of a copy of a textbook is only half a year in our country while in America it is five years or so, which shows we waste too much. There are 220 million students consuming 3 billion textbooks each year, so about 11 million trees are needed to produce them! If the lifespan of textbooks could be extended for one more year, a large number of trees could be saved each year. In addition, many children from poor families can’t afford textbooks. Will it be good if we can afford them to reuse the books?
So I suggest that all of us should encourage students to take care of their textbooks, and not only does it do good to us but also to nature. At the same time, this can also help us develop awareness of thriftiness.
Best wishes,
Yours truly,
Li Hua
