anything he wanted to. dad said that he wanted to be the first to develop color prints in our city. and so he did. when i was 16, dad looked closely at the violin i played and announced that he wanted to make one. he read about violinmaking, and then became a violinmaker at the age of 43. he bought the tools and materials, opened a small store and set mom up as the shopkeeper, while he worked at a local company. he retired from the company 17 years later and continued to make violins and other instruments.dad often guessed why the stradivarius violins sound so beautiful. some experts claimed that it was the unique varnish(清漆) that gave those instruments their beautiful sound. dad argued that chemists could analyze the varnish-if that were the answer.one of dads friends asked him once which kind of wood was used to make violins. when dad explained that the top was made of spruce（云杉）, his friend said that he had an old piece of spruce dad might be interested in.he worked for the next 12 months making a violin from the wood that his friend had given him. it proved to be a superior violin and it would become dads masterpiece. he was convinced that the secret of the stradivarius sound was in the wood itself.later, the instrument was stolen. dads spirit was broken by the robbery, and he stopped making instruments. but he kept the music shop until he was 80 years old, selling guitars and violins.my father has been gone for 14 years now. the violin has been missing for more than 25 years. somewhere a musician is playing a late-20th-century violin with an excellent tone. the owner today may never understand why this ordinary-looking violin sounds so much like stradivarius.50. the author mentions his fathers developing color prints . a. to show that his fathers real interest was not in making violins b. to prove that his father could do anything he wanted to c. to give an example proving that his father was an inventor d. to describe the real thing that made the author believe his father51. what did the author father think about stradivarius violins? a. the varnish was different from others. b. the way of making them was special. c. the wood of the violins was special. d. they could only be analyzed by chemists.52. from the underlined sentence, we can learn that the authors father . a. liked the violin very muchb. got crazy after this happened c. lost interest in instrumentsd. didnt want to become famous53. we can infer from the last paragraph that the author . a. really hates the thiefb. misses his father a lot c.really wants to play the violind. wonders whos playing the violin nowcthere are two types of people in the world. although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. this arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.people who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. they enjoy all the cheerful things. those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. by their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. if this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. the intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. it grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. the habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. i hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. this frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. if they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. if they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrong doings. these should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. if they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels. 54. people who are unhappy . a. always consider things differently from others b. usually are affected by the results of certain things c. usually misunderstand what others think or say d. always discover the unpleasant side of certain things55. we can conclude from the passage that . a. we should pity all such unhappy people b. such unhappy people are dangerous to social life c. people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness d. unhappy people can not understand happy persons56. if such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should . a. prevent any communication with them b. show no respect and politeness to them c. persuade them to recognize the bad effects d. quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes57. in this passage, the writer mainly . a. describes two types of people b. laughs at the unhappy people c. suggests the unhappy people should get rid of the habits of unhappiness d. tell people how to be happy in lifedone hundred and thirteen million americans have at least one bank-issued credit card. they give their owners automatic credit in stores, restaurants, and hotels, at home, across the country, and even abroad, and they make many banking services available as well. more and more of these credit cards can be read automatically, making it possible to withdraw or deposit money in scattered locations, whether or not the local branch bank is open. for many of us the “cashless society” is not on the horizon-its already here.while computer offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too. electronic cash registers can do much more than simply ring up sales. they can keep a wide range of records, including who sold what, when and to whom. this information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how far they are moving. decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made. at the same time these computers record which hours are busiest and which employees are the most efficient, allowing personnel and staffing assignments to be made accordingly. and they also identify preferred customer for promotional campaigns. computers are relied on by manufacturers for similar reasons. computer analyzed marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now, which to develop for the future and which to drop. computers keep track of goods in stock, of raw materials on hand, and even of the production process itself.numerous other commercial enterprises, from theaters to magazine publishers, from gas and electric utilities to milk processors, bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers.58.according to the passage, the credit card enables its owner to . a. withdraw as much money from the bank as he wishes b. obtain more convenient services than other people do c. enjoy great trust from the storekeeper d. cash money where he wished to59. from the last sentence of the first paragraph we learn that . a. in the future all the americans will use credit cads b. credit cards are mainly used in the united states today c. nowadays many americans do not pay in cash d. it is now more convenient to use credit cards than before60. the phrase“ring up sales”most probably means . a. make an order of goodsb. record sales on a cash register c. call the
