third blonde know that the suspect wore contact lenses?a. by chance b. by carefully observingc. by logical and reasonable analysisd. by checking the file in the computerbfor most of my 15 years, my father usually said very little to my mother and me. he preferred reading the newspaper or watching football matches on television to talking to his family. everything changed one morning. as soon as i came downstairs to breakfast, i could see that he wasnt his usual reserved (缄默的) self. “cant wait! fifa world cup! big match! must see!” i quickly figured out what all the excitement was about: dad is a big football fan. i had never been interested in football, but dads excitement that morning made me more and more curious. i had to find out why this sport was making my normally reserved father act like a five-year-old on his first trip to disneyland. dad decided that we should all eat at a little german restaurant so that we could watch the world cup while eating. secretly, i think he was hoping to turn mum and me into football fans. the match started a few minutes after we entered the restaurant. as i was eating my meal, a loud noise came from the television. surprised, i looked up at the tv: “why is that man jumping up and down?” dad patiently explained: “thats papa bouba diop, my son. its normal for them to jump up and down after theyve scored.” dad explained almost everything to me. his monosyllabic (单音节的) answers were a thing of the past. i loved the new dad! i watched the rest of the match, becoming more and more interested. when i told my father that i planned to watch more matches with him, he smiled and gave me a wink (眨眼). at long last we had something in common. football has really helped dad and me get closer and form a stronger relationship with each other. who says football is only about 22 men running after a silly ball? 55. which of the following words can best describe the authors father? a. a talkative football player. b. a parent busy at work. c. an encouraging father. d. a man of few words.56. what made the author curious about his father one morning? a. his unusual excitement. b. his unexpressed eagerness.c. his great interest in the newspaper. d. his high expectation of the winner.57. the authors growing interest in watching the match mainly came from_. a. his and his fathers common love of german foodb. watching a top level performance of the playersc. his fathers love of football and his explanationd. eating in a restaurant with the excited fans58. what can we learn from the passage? a. sharing is the foundation of good relationship.b. family members should be fans together.c. interest is the mother of success.d. personality decides everything.cwhen you meet someone for the first time, you will form an impression in your mind of that person in the first moment. your reactions to other people, however, are really just barometers (晴雨表) for how you perceive(理解) yourself. your reactions to others say more about you than they do about others. you cannot really love or hate something about another unless it reflects something you love or hate yourself. we are usually drawn to those who are most like us and tend to dislike those who display those aspects of ourselves that we dislike.therefore, you can allow others to be the mirror to illuminate (阐明;照亮) more clearly your own feelings of self-worth. conversely, you can view the people you judge negatively as mirrors to show you what you are not accepting about yourself.to survive together peacefully with others, you will need to learn tolerance(宽容). a big challenge is to shift your perspective from judgment of others to a lifelong exploration of yourself. your task is to assess all the decisions, judgments you make onto others and to begin to view them as clues to how you can heal yourself and become whole.several days ago i had a business lunch with a man who displayed objectionable table manners. my first reaction was to judge him as rude and his table manners as annoying. when i noticed that i was judging him, i stopped and asked myself what i was feeling. i discovered that i was embarrassed to be seen with someone who was chewing with his mouth open and loudly blowing his nose. i was astonished to find how much i cared about how the other people in the restaurant perceived me.remember that your judgment of someone will not serve as a protective shield against you becoming like him. just because i judge my lunch partner as rude does not prevent me from ever looking or acting like him. in the same way, extending tolerance to him would not cause me to suddenly begin chewing my food with my mouth open.when you approach life in this manner, those with whom you have the greatest dissatisfactions as well as those you admire and love can be seen as mirrors, guiding you to discover parts of yourself that you reject and to embrace your greatest quality.59. the purpose of the author writing this passage is to advise people to _.a. avoid bad manners. b. learn tolerance towards others.c. pay attention to others needs and feelings. d. judge others favorably in any case.60. the underlined word “objectionable” in paragraph 4 has the closest meaning to _ .a. discouraging b. disappointing c. disgusting(extremely unpleasant) d. distressing61. according to the passage, the following statements are all true except _.a. you cant really love or hate others if they are similar to you.b. we are easily attracted by someone who is similar to us.c. our first judgment of a person mostly comes from our personal opinion.d. the moment we see a stranger, our mind forms an impression of that person.62. throughout the entire story, the last paragraph serves as a(n) _.a. explanation b. example c. background d. conclusion 63. it can be implied from the text that _.a. the writers first reaction to the man was to judge him as offensiveb. we will need to learn tolerance to coexist with othersc. we shouldnt focus on judging others but should constantly reflect on our ownd. the writer didnt care about other peoples view of himdhotel informationthe following activities are offered for guests of the hong kong disneyland
