They genuinely care about you.”Andrew Roberts “One of the best things is having my own kitchen.

The staff are amazing. It is great to be recognized by them, ” he says.Pauline Robinson “What I love about it is the way that you are treated by the staff,” she says. “Some of the staff have been there all that time and they do look after you well.

Without giving it a thought, I took the letters and purchased her stamps. A few days later, she mentioned that one of the letters I had mailed was missing a stamp, and asked me if I had put a stamp on it. She had remembered asking me to put a stamp on it, though I certainly had not heard her. So, unfortunately, it looked like the letter, which was a bill of course, would come back marked “Return to Sender for Insufficient Postage”. A few days went by and I returned to the post office to pick up our mail. While I was there, I saw the postmaster and happened to tell him about Moms letter missing the stamp. I asked him to be on the lookout for it coming back. It was then that he told me his story. “You know,” he said, “I immediately saw after you had dropped the mail off that your letter was missing a stamp. I also noticed that it was a bill for a credit card company. I thought to myself that you have always been kind to me and my partner, and I wanted to return the favor. So, to prevent your mother from getting charged a late fee from the credit card company, I took money from our change dish (extra pennies for folks who need one), and purchased a stamp for you.” When I heard it, I couldnt believe it. What a blessing that was！I thanked him over and over again for putting the stamp on the letter for us. Then, I immediately dumped (倾倒) all the change out of my purse and into the penny dish in order to help others out in the future. When I got home, I was able to tell Mom the good news.This was kindness karma (因果报应) in action, I believe!29What does the underlined word “Insufficient” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Hard. B. Heavy.C. False. D. Lacking.30What will happen if the mothers letter comes back?A. She will be fined by the post office.B. She may have to give up her credit card.C. She will miss sending an important message.D. She might be charged some money.31Why did the postmaster buy a stamp for the letter?A. Because it was the responsibility of his job.B. Because the postmaster wanted to pay the author back.C. Because the author was the postmasters friend.D. Because the author had asked him to do so.32It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author _.A. thought highly of what the postmaster didB. thought the postmaster misunderstood himC. gave the postmaster the money for buying a stamp for himD. didnt believe what the postmaster saidC If a stranger offered you money to keep a suitcase in your spare room，would you accept? How about the other way round：if you had too many belongings，would you consider trusting someone you met online with their safekeeping? Anthony Paine believed enough of us would answer “yes” to these questions to launch his own startup(新兴公司)，StashbeeHis business links people with space to those who need it And its just one player in the booming “sharing economy”，an industry that relies on people renting out things like their beds，bikes and even parking spacesAirbnb，a company valued at 200bn RMB，provides a platform for those renting property short-termDogVacay pairs holidaymaking pet owners with pet-friendly hosts，and aims to be profitable by 2017 All their business models revolve around one simple word：trustSo，how does Stashbee measure up? BBC journalist Dougal Shaw decided to try it out for himselfHe had some odds and ends to store while renovating his house，and met a host through the site who could keep them for 475 RMB for two monthsAll relatively smooth and painless Heavyweights(行业巨头)in the traditional storage industry，such as Big Yenow and Access，arent convincedA representative from Access told Shaw he was skeptical about storing with “amateurs”He considered 247(全天候) access to the items and better security as the main advantages of his service. Stashbee agree that dealing with security concerns is important，but say business success depends more on people overcoming a distrust of strangers weve been taught since childhood. They arent aloneCompanies such as Costockage，Roost and Spacer all run similar storage businesses，and are all relying on a shift in consumer attitudes And the concept of social storage doesnt stop thereCityStasher believe theres a gap in the market for those who want to store things for extremely short periods of timeWould you try it out? Its a question of trust33The author put forward two questions at the beginning of the text to_.A. draw readers attention to the topic B. carry out a survey among readersC. start a conversation among readers D. expect readers to answer them34How does Dougal Shaw try out Stashbees business?A. Doing a survey online B. Experiencing in personC. Analyzing some data D. Exchanging his belongings.35What does the traditional storage industry value most?A. Security B. TrustC. Cost D. Professional knowledge36What can we infer from the text?A. Consumer attitudes have changed greatly over timeB. The new startup isnt concerned about securityC. No company follows the business model of StashbeeD. Trust is not well built in childhood educationD Two of the hardest things to accomplish in this world are to acquire wealth by honest effort and, having gained it, to learn how to use it properly. Recently I walked into the locker room of a rather well-known golf club after finishing a round. It was in the late afternoon and most of the members had left for their homes. But a half-dozen or so men past middle age were still seated at tables talking aimlessly and drinking more than was good for them. These same men can be found there day after day, and, strangely enough, each one of these men had been a man of affairs and wealth, successful in business and respected in the community. If material prosperity were the chief necessity for happiness, then each one should have been happy. Yet, it seemed to me, something very important was missing, else-there would not have been the constant effort to escape the realities of life through scotch and soda. They knew, each one of them, that their productivity had ceased (停止). When a fruit tree ceases to bear its fruit, it is dying. And it is even so with man. What is the answer to a long and happy existence in this world of ours? I think I found it long ago in a passage from the book of Genesis which caught my eye while I was looking through my Bible. The words were few, but they became memorably impressed on my mind. “In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread.” To me, that has been a challenge from my earliest recollections (memories). In fact, the battle of life, of existence, is a challenge to everyone. The immortal words of St. Paul, too, have been and always will be a great inspiration to me. At the end of the road I want to be able to feel that I have fought a good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.37. Which of the following is indicated in the first paragraph? A. Wealth results from honest effort. B. The men seated at tables in the locker room are lost in the significance of life. C. The men acquire wealth by planting fruit trees. D. For some people, no way can be found to escape the realities of life other than scotch and soda.38. The underlined sentence “In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread” means _. A. Bread tastes delicious when sweat pours off your face B. Bread comes from the sweat on your face C. Failure is the mother of success D. No pains, no gains39We learn from the passage that the author _. A. was a wealthy person in the community B. was fond of associating with celebrities (名人) C. held a positive attitude towards an active life D. kept a secret of the reason why he was so impressed40What is implied in the passage by the writer? A. To use wealth properly, chat, drink and be merry. B. Where there is a will, there is a way. C. If you cease to struggle, you cease to live. D. As life is but like a dream, a man is like a fruit tree. 四、七选五（每小题2分，共5小题，满分10分）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项 Criticism is part of life. If youre not very good at taking criticism, you might want to work on this skill. 41 For example, not only will it help you to get along better with other people, but also itll help you improve yourself. Hearing criticism is like standing in the path of a wave. You can try to fight it but that will just make things harder for you. Alternatively, you can let the criticism happen peacefully. _42_ Breathing slowly and focusing on your breathing can help in this situation. In addition, when someone criticizes something youve done, it is easy to feel worthless. 43 Instead, thinking about what great things you can do might help in this situation. Responding to the criticism is also an important part of accepting criticism. When the person is giving you the criticism, at first all you need to do is listen. If youre too busy being defensive you might miss out on some really good advice. 44 As a result, you will be able to come up with a more matured（成熟的） response. The most important thing about criticism is to use it to make improvements. To achieve this, you should see the criticism as an opportunity to step back, and make evaluations about your actions. 45 So having considered the advice you were given, make a plan for how youre going to implement (落实) the changes you want to make. A. Neither panic nor shout. B. However, feeling like that doesnt help. C. This is because this skill can benefit you in many ways. D. So dont react to criticism immediately but give it time. E. Tell them how you plan to carry out their advice or deal with the issue they criticized. F. Actually, any criticism might help you find areas where you dont perform well. G. If the criticism came due to your mistake, apologize immediately for what happened.五、完形填空（每小题1.5分，共20小题，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 I was said to be the worst student in my class, and my family thought I was hopeless.
