like i was wrong about that. and it is even harder to say “i was wrong, but you were right about that.”i had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago. he told me he had been the manager of a certain grocery store in the neighborhood where i grew up and he asked me if i remembered the egg cartons（纸板盒）. then he related an incident and i began to remember vaguely（模糊地）the incident he was describing.i was about eight years old at the time, and i had gone into the store with mother to do the weekly grocery shopping. on that particular day, i must have found my way to the dairy food department where the incident took place.there must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there was an impressive display of eggs in dozen and half dozen cartons. the cartons were stacked（堆放）three or four feet high. i must have stopped in front of a display to admire the stacks. just then a woman came by pushing her grocery cart and knocked off the stacks of cartons. for some reason, i decided it was up to me to put the display back together, so i went to work. the manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had happened. when he appeared, i was on my knees inspecting some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs were broken. but to him it looked as though i had done it. he severely criticized me and wanted me to pay any broken eggs. i protested my innocence and tried to explain, but it did no good. even though i quickly forgot all about the incident, apparently the manager did not.56. how old was the author when he wrote this article?a. about 8 b. about 18. c. about 23. d. about 1557. which of the following statements is not true?a. the woman who knocked off the stacks of cartons was seriously criticized by the manager.b. the author was severely criticized by the manager.c. a woman carelessly knocked off the stacks of cartons.d. it was the author who put the display back together.58. the tone of the article expressed the authors _.a. admiration for the managers willingness to admit mistakesb. anger to the manager for his wrong accusation.（指责，谴责）c. indignation against the woman who

mainland.according to official chinese figures, the number of taiwanese students admitted into college and postgraduate programmes on the mainland totaled 4610 in 2006, 9280 in 2007 and 18390 in 2008. although no latest official numbers were available, n said this number had risen between 30 to 50per cent annually in the past two years with well over 1,000 entering mainland campuses last year.the internet site, based in the chinese city of shenzhen, provides education service and information on chinese mainland colleges and universities, “many taiwanese believe a chinese education giving more knowledge about the people and culture in the mainland will increase their chances in the chinese job market.”n vi e-president ingrid huang said. “i believe it will give me hands-on experience in the business field in the chinese mainland and a better understanding of the chinese mainland people.” said lydia chang , a 19-year-old majoring in journalism at shih shin university. chang plans to go on to get a masters degree in business administration in shanghai, which she says offers the best environment for such studies. a journalism graduate student, surnamed lin, at the national taiwan university said he would like to study law on the chinese mainland since “there will be better career prospects（前景）for me now that more taiwanese companies are going there。”some business executives were sending their children to study in the chinese mainland. “they hope the children could build up connections which could later become useful in their business operations,” said yang ching-yao, professor of the chinese mainland studies. a survey showed the campuses favoured by taiwanese students included beijing, qinghua and renmin universities in beijing, and jinan and zhongshan universities in guangzhou. the most popular studies were law, business and chinese medicine. at present, chinese taibei doesnt recognize diplomas earned in the chinese mainland nor help with any inquiries（咨询）about studying there. but recognizing the trend, education authorities are giving a final form to a policy accepting certificates from selected universities.59. more taiwanese students

in every fieldcmany a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. i always encourage such people, but i also explain that theres a big difference between “ being a writer” and “ writing”. in most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a computer. “youve got to want to write,” i say to them, “ not want to be a writer.” the reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor paying affair. for every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. when i left a 20-year career in the us coast guard to become a free writer, i had no promise at all. what i did have was a friend who found me my room in a new york apartment building. it didnt even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. i immediately bought a used computer and felt a real writer. after a year or so, however, i still hadnt gotten a break and began to doubt myself. it was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. but i know i wanted to write. i had dreamed about it for years. i wasnt going to be one of those people who die wondering. what if? i would keep putting my dream to the test- even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. this is the shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.63. the passage is meant to _.a. warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experienceb. advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writerc. show young people its unrealistic for a writer to be after wealth and famed. encourage young people to be after a writer career64. what can be concluded from the passage?.real writers often find their work interesting and rewarding.b. writers success depends on luck rather than on effort.c. famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation.（隔离）d. the chances for a writer to become successful are small.65. why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career?a. he wasnt able to produce a single book.b. he hadnt seen a change for the better.c. he wasnt able to have a rest for a whole year.d. he found his dream would never come true.66. the underlined wordspeople who die wondering, “what if?” refer to “those _”a. who think too much of the dark side of lifeb. who regret giving up their career halfwayc. who think a lot without making a decisiond. who are full of imagination even upon death dnot so long ago almost student who successfully completed a university degree could find a good career quite easily. however, those days are gone, even in hong kong, and nowadays graduates often face strong competition in the search for jobs. job seekers first have to make a careful assessment of their own abilities. one area of assessment should be of their academic qualifications, which would include special skills within their subject area. graduates should also consider their own personal values and attitudes, or the relative importance to themselves of such matters as money, security, leadership and caring for others.the second stage is to study the opportunities available for employment. job application forms and letters should, of course, be filled in carefully and correctly, without grammar or spelling errors. when graduates are asked to attend for interview, they should prepare properly by finding out all they can about the prospective employer. dressing suitably and arriving for the interview on time are also obviously important. interviewees should try to give positive and helpful answers and should not be afraid to ask questions about anything they are unsure about. this is much better than pretending to understand a question and giving an unsuitable answer. it is true that it is hard to find a good job. but there will always be good career opportunities for people with ability, skills and determination; the secret to securing good jobs in to be one of them.67. which of the following statements is true?a. there is nothing we can do to find a good job nowadaysb. to find out what jobs are available is totally impossiblec. to find a job is much more difficult than befored. the education you receive has nothing to do with job-hunting68. the word “prospective” is closest in meaning to .a. ambiguous b. reasonablec. ambitious d. potential69. in paragraph 5, the writer seems to suggest that .a. interviewees should ask a question if they cant think of an answerb. it is better for interviewees to be honest than to pretend to understandc. it is not a good idea for interviewees to completely honest in their answersd. pretending to understand a question is better than giving an unsuitable answer70. what is the most possible title of the passage?a. difficulties in job huntingb. hard to find a good job?c. how to attend an interview?d. what is job hunting?第二节：（共5小题；每小题2分，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。 only a few weeks ago, they were waiting for their
