she ignored him and stepped back inside the house. the weeks went by and tom became very depressed. there seemed little point in carrying on without her. then one night he got into his car and drove to a nearby seaside town. after abandoning the car, he walked towards a big stone by the sea. looking over the edge he saw the waves crashing into the bottom of the rock. his body was shaking then he jumped. carrie was mad when she found out. she paced up and down smoking a cigarette. her eyes were full of tears. it wasnt all his fault that he had become so bad tempered. he had been finding it difficult looking for another job. she then threw the cigarette to the ground, wiped away the tears and made her way up the long passage and into a room.“dont you ever, ever do anything like that again,”she said in a temper to the person in the room.“i wont，”tom said, looking up at her from his hospital bed. luckily for him, someone had seen him jump and dived in to save him.61. why did her mum go to make some coffee?a. because she knew her daughter liked coffee very much.b. because her daughter asked for comfort.c. because she didnt know how to comfort her daughter. d. because she didnt want to say anything.62. what made tom jump from the stone?a. losing his car.b. the shaking of his body.c. the love for the sea.d. feeling hopeless.63. what can we infer from the passage?a. tom finally got forgiveness from carrie.b. carrie blamed herself too much for tom death.c. carrie dived into the sea and saved tom in time.d. carrie threw the cigarette before her entering the room.64. what might be the relationship between carrie and tom?a. daughter and fatherb. wife and husbandc. mother and sond. sister and brotherbdmontreal (reuters) crossing the us-canada border（边界）to go to church on a sunday cost a us citizen 10,000 for breaking washingtons strict new security（安全）rules. the expensive trip to church was a surprise for richard albert, who lives right on the canadian border. like the other half-dozen people of township 15, crossing the border is a daily occurrence for albert. the nearby quebec village of st. pamphile is where they shop, eat and go to church. there are many such situations in these areas along the largely unguarded 5,530-mile border between canada and the us,which in some cases actually runs down the middle of streets or through buildings. as a result, albert says he did not expect any problems three weeks ago when he returned home to the us after attending church in canada as usual. the us customs（海关）station in this area is closed on sundays, so be just drove around the locked gate, as he had done every weekend since the gate appeared last may, following a tightening of border security. two days later, albert was told to go to the customs office, where an officer told him he had been caught on camera crossing the border illegally（非法）. ottawa has given out special passes to some 300 us citizens in that area so they can enter the country when canadian customs stations are closed, but the us stopped a similar program last may. that forces the people to a 200-mile detour along hilly roads to get home through another border checkpoint. albert has requested that the customs office change their decisions on the fine, but he has not attended a sunday church since. “i feel like im living in a prison,” he said.65. we learn from the text that richard albert is_. a. a canadian living in a quebec village b. an american living in township 15 c. a canadian working in a customs station d. an american working in a canadian church66.albert was fined (罚款) because he_. a. failed to obey traffic rules b. worked in st. pamphile without a pass c. broke the american security rulesd. damaged the gate of the customs office67. the underlined word “detour” in paragraph 5 means _. a. an indirect way of travelling b. a race across the fields c. a drive through the townd. a journey in the mountain area 68.what would be the best title for the text? a. a cross-country trip b. a special border pass c. an unguarded border d. an expensive church visit cwhen someone gives you advice, listen without judgment, try to find value in what youre hearing, and say “thank you”. this wise advice is easy to understand yet hard to practice. ill give you an example from my life when i totally blew it in terms of practicing what i teach. in my work i travel constantly. i always put off going to the airport until the last second. my wife, lynda, was sitting next to me in the front seat. i was racing along and not paying much attention. lynda cried out, “look out! there is a red light up ahead.”being a trained behavioral science professional who teaches others the value of encouraging advice i naturally screamed at her, “i know there is a red light up ahead! dont you think i can see?” when we arrived at the airport, lynda didnt speak to me. i wondered why she seemed mad at me. during the flight to new york, i did a cost-benefit analysis. i asked myself, “what was the cost of just listening when lynda called out the warning? zero.” i then reasoned, “what was the potential benefit? what could have been saved?” several potential benefits came to mind, including her life, my life, and the lives of other people. 20090507i landed in new york feeling ashamed of myself. i immediately called lynda and told her my cost-benefit story. i convinced her, “the next time you help me with my driving, i am just going to say, thank you.”a few months passed, and i had long forgotten the incident. again, i was racing off to the airport, when lynda cried out, “look out for the red light!” i was embarrassed, and then shouted, “thank you!”im a long way from perfect, but im getting better. my suggestion is that you get in the habit of asking the important people in your life how you can do things better. and be ready for an answer. some people may tell you things like “look out for the red light.” when this happens, remember that there is possibly some potential benefit. then just say, “thank you.” 69. what do we know about the author?a. he is expert at behavioral science.b. he is gifted in cost-benefit analysis.c. he seldom takes his wifes advice.d. he often runs the red traffic light.70. the underlined part “blew it” in paragraph 1 probably means “_”.a. became annoyed with the adviserb. failed to say “thank you”c. forgot the practical methodd. lost personal judgment71. it can be inferred from the passage that people _.a. tend to be defensive when given adviceb. intend to follow others suggestionsc. had better study behavioral scienced. should give their opinions patiently72. the purpose of the passage is to advise people to _.a. do a cost-benefit analysis in daily life b. learn from the authors experiencesc. treasure others suggestionsd. discover potential benefitsdtheyre wild animals!by ernst-ulrich franzen march 11, 2010 |(3) commentsthe story about the woman who lost some fingers while feeding a bear at a zoo in manitowoc, after she ignored warnings and barriers, reminded me of the story i heard about a couple who put their baby on the back of a wild horse in south dakota to get a really cute picture. we all do silly things at times no one is immune(免疫的) but treating wild animals as lovely pets has to fall into a special category. teddy bears and disney movies arent actually representative of real bears.comments (3) view comments post a comment 1. tosaleft - mar 11, 2010 10:46 amdont you think that maybe, just maybe some wine was involved?
