“or “i am not interested in history at all. my dream is to be an actor. should i give history up?”maybe you are right. after you leave school, its not necessary for you to understand everything. but please remember that at school, besides getting knowledge, you should pay attention to some other important things. first, try to find what you are most interested in. at school, you study many subjects. try to find what you like and what you dont like. this may be helpful to you in the future. second, maybe you dont like math and you want to drop it. but the logical thinking ability from math can help you solve some problems. at school, you should practice your brain by thinking.third, you should believe in yourself. maybe you learn french at school, but you dont need to speak french at all. but learning french can prove that you have the ability of learning languages. suppose you go to france one day and find a good job well. at school i learned french well, and now i must be able to learn german. but if you have no confidence, what will happen? try to challenge yourself as often as possible. i think many of us like playing computer games. when we fail in a game, we always want to try it again. why? because it is hard for us to get the highest mark. if we want to challenge ourselves, we must face more difficult things and make greater progress. 36.at school you should .a. stop learning the subjects you dont likeb. both get knowledge and improve your abilityc. pay more attention to math and french37.math can improve ones .a.logical thinking ability b.skills in computer c.interest in other subjects 38.which of the following is true?a.you will use everything you learn at school in your future job. b.its not necessary to know what you like at school.c.everything you learn at school has an influence on you.39.the last paragraph tells us that .a. we should challengeb. it is not easy to get high marks in computer gamesc. we should do some very different thingsba well-dressed man entered a famous jewelry shop. he explained that he wished to buy a pearl for his wifes birthday. the price didnt matter. since business had been very good for him that year. after examining a nice black one that cost $5,000, he paid for the pearl in cash, shook hands with the jeweler, and left.a few days later the man returned and said that his wife liked the pearl so much that she wanted another one just like it. it had to be exactly the same size and quality, because she wanted a pair of earrings, “can you give me any advice on how to get such a pearl?” said the man. the jeweler regretfully replied, “i would say its exactly impossible to find one exactly like that pearl.”the rich man insisted that the jeweler advertise in the newspapers, offering $ 25,000 for the matching pearl. many people answered the advertisement but nobody had a pearl that was just right.just when the jeweler had given up hope, a little old lady came into his store. to his great surprise, she pulled the perfect pearl from her purse. “i dont like to part with it,” she said sadly, “i inherited(继承) it from my mother, and my mother inherited it from hers. but i really need the money.”the jeweler was quick to pay her before she changed her mind. then he called the rich mans hotel to tell him the good news. the man, however, was nowhere to be found.40. the man said he wanted to buy a pearl for _.a. his wife b. his mother-in law c. his own mother 41. the man paid $ 5,000 for the black pearl without bargaining (讨价还价) because _.a. he was very rich b. he wanted to make the jeweler believe himc. he was anxious to get it 42. the man told the jeweler to get him another pearl that must be _.a. exactly the same size as the black oneb. exactly as big and nice as the black onec. worth no more than $ 25,00043. the jeweler couldnt find the man anywhere because _.a. he died suddenlyb. he happened to be outc. he got $ 20,000 by cheating and had run away with the moneycmiss maynell and i grew to know each other through the mail. we sent letters to each other during the war and i fell in love with her as time went by. when world war ii ended, i returned from europe to my home in the united states. we planned our first meeting at the grand central station in new york. and we agreed to wear a rose so that we could find out each other. at seven p.m., i was in the station and waited for the girl whose heart i loved but whose face id never seen. i was so nervous and excited that my mind raced, guessing everything to do with her. what would she look like? is she tall? does she wear glasses? suddenly a pretty and elegant(优雅的) lady in a green suit was coming toward me. i stood up excitedly from the chair and started to walk towards her, completely ignoring that she was not wearing a rose. “excuse me, gentleman?” the lady gave me a strange look, walking away quickly. i felt embarrassed(尴尬的) and stopped. and then i saw miss maynell, who was over 40 years old, holding a red rose and standing directly behind the lady in green. i felt something even better than love. i didnt hesitate and walked to her. “im john blanchard, and you must be miss maynell,” i said, still feeling shocked and a little disappointed. “im glad you could meet me, miss maynell. may i take you to dinner?” the woman smiled. “i dont know what this is about, son,” she answered. “but the young lady in the green suit begged me to wear this rose. and she said if you invited me to dinner, i should tell you that she is waiting for you in a big restaurant across the street. she said it was some kind of test!”44. how could john blanchard recognize the girl?
