forgotten the name of an old lady, who was a customer on the paper route in my home town when i was a twelve-year-old boy. yet it stays in my memory, for she taught me a lesson of forgiveness that i shall never forget.on a winter afternoon, a friend and i were throwing stones onto the leaning roof of the old ladys house from a spot near her backyard. the object of our play was to observe how the stones changed to missiles as they rolled to the roofs edge and shot out into the yard. i found myself a perfectly smooth rock and threw it out. the stone, however, slipped from my hand and headed straight for a small window on the old ladys back porch. at the sound of fractured glass, we knew we were in trouble. we ran as fast as possible.i was too scared about getting caught to be concerned about the old lady with the broken window in winter. however, a few days later, when i was sure that i hadnt been discovered, i started to feel guilty for her misfortune. she still greeted me with a smile each day when i gave her the paper, but i was no longer able to act comfortably in her presence. i made up my mind that i would save my paper delivery money, and after three weeks i had the seven dollars that i thought would cover the cost of her window. i put the money in an envelope with a note explaining that i was sorry for breaking her window and hoped that the seven dollars would cover the cost. i put the letter through the letter slot in her door. my soul felt redeemed and i could have the freedom of, once again, looking straight into the old ladys kind eyes. the next day, i handed the old lady her paper and was able to return the warm smile that i was receiving from her. she gave me a bag of cookies. i thanked her and felt an envelope in it. when i opened the envelope, inside it were the seven dollars and a short note reading, im proud of you. 51. how did the writer get to know the old lady?a. they were neighbors. b. the writer often played near the ladys house.c. the lady was the writers customer. d. they got to know each other by chance.52. which of the following is not true according to the text?a. the writer broke the window on purpose. b. the incident happened 43 years ago.c. the writer felt guilty a few days later. d. the old lady didnt take the writers money. 53. the underlined word “redeemed” is closest in meaning to “_”. a. excited b. relieved c. disappointed d. delighted54. whats the best title for this passage?_.a. an old ladyb. my first jobc. my childhood d. an unforgettable incidentbask anybody out there, what is the most important thing in his life fame, fortune and money, and there is a chance that he is going to say, money, because with that, fame and fortune comes quite easily. on the other hand, if you add “family” to these three choices given above, there is a chance that 99% of the people are going to put their family first, especially if they happen to be ladies!the main reason is because nature has created a woman to be the cherisher and the nurturer (哺育者) of the family, while the man is the hunter and protector of his little family. that is the natural rule which has come down through thousands of years. even if a person happens to be a comparatively worldly-wise person and has no idea of taking on the responsibility of a family, he has a picture of a tight little loving unit in his subconscious (潜意识).they tell a story about a successful millionaire businessman who died and the whole city came to pay its respects. one of his business competitors, met the son and said, “we are really going to miss your father. you see, i knew your father well.” and the son replied, “you happen to be really lucky there, because i never did.” so, you might be an extremely successful person in your own right upon wall street, but if your little child fails to come running out to welcome his daddy at the end of the day to be swung up in his fathers arms and held there lovingly and protectively, you come in the “nothing” category in the business of life.many people are under the impression that taking on the responsibility of the family is quite tiresome, but they do not know what it takes to be a parent. it is very easy to be a biological father or a biological mother, but the real mother and the real father is that person who stays awake all night when the baby is teething, teaches him right from wrong, is there to hold him when he takes his first steps, and in every way shows that he is there to cherish and protect the little one from harm.there was a man who did not believe in family, because of an unhappy childhood. but he found a faithful woman to love him unconditionally. the moment he picked up his little baby, he said, “well son, welcome to the world! i am here to teach you what your mama has taught me, and we shall both protect you, when you need our help. i will teach you to be a good, just and fair man.” 55. the writer writes para.1 to _. a. introduce the topicb. raise a question c. present the surveyd. make a comparison56. what does the underlined expression “loving unit” ( para.2) most probably refer to ? a. lover. b. family. c. child. d. life.57. in the writers view, the millionaire businessman _. a. won respect from the whole cityb. was fortunate to have a loving son c. achieved great success in his lifed. was a failure in the business of life 58. what might be the title for the passage? a. how should we parent a childb. what more could a family be about c. how to take on your responsibility d. what contributes to ones successc studies show that you may be lied to every day anywhere from 10 to 200 times. we say, “nice song.” “honey, you dont look fat in that, no.” but another study showed that strangers lied three times within the first 10 minutes of meeting each other. we lie more to strangers than we lie to coworkers. men lie eight times more about themselves than they do other people. women lie more to protect other people. if youre married, youre going to lie to your wife/ husband in one out of every 10 communications. if youre unmarried, that number drops to three. but look, if at some point you got lied to, its because you agreed to get lied to. truth about lying: lying is a cooperative act. not all lies are harmful. sometimes were willing to lie for the sake of social dignity, maybe to keep a private secret. lying is complex. its woven into the fabric of our daily and business lives. were deeply disturbed by the truth. we explain it, sometimes for very good reasons, other times just because we dont understand the gaps between ideals and realities in our lives. were against lying, but secretly were for it in ways that our society has practiced for centuries and centuries. its as old as breathing. its part of our culture and history. think the stories from dante, shakespeare, the bible, news of the world.lying has great value to the evolution of human being. researchers have long known that the more intelligent the species, the more likely it is to lie. we human like to become leaders. it starts really early. how early? well, babies will pretend to cry, pause, wait to see whos coming and then go right back to crying. one-year-olds learn hiding truth. two-year-olds bluff (虚张声势). five-year-olds lie outright and try to control via flattery. nine-year-olds, masters of covering up. by the time you enter college, youre going to lie to your mom in one out of every five interactions. by the time we enter this work world to be breadwinners, weve entered a world that is just full of fake digital friends, business media, identity thieves, world-class cheats, in short, a post-truth society. what do you do? well there are steps we can take to guide our way through the bushes. trained lie spotters get to the truth 90% of the time. the rest of us, were only 54% accurate. why is it so easy to learn? there are clever liars and stupid liars. therere no real original liars. we all make the same mistakes. we all use the same techniques. 59. according to the passage, a lie works when _. a. the liars words are sweet enoughb. it is given to a complete stranger c. someone gives the liar cooperationd. we are willing to lie for the dignity60. lying is complex because _. a. it is practiced by clever onesb. people are for it as well as against it c. ancient stories are full of liesd. it is the whole part of great culture 61. the examples of kids lying in the passage show _. a. lying is a sign of intelligent development b. lying is good for childrens growing up c. at what age childrenbegintotell lies d. 9-year-old childrenaremastersoflying62. what will the writer most likely talk about if he continues the passage? a. how to become clever liars.b. how to avoid stupid lies. c. how to get through the bushes.d. how to tell truth from lies.dfor centuries, medical pioneers have refined a variety of methods and medicines to treat sickness, injury, and disability, enabling people to live longer and healthier lives.“a salamander (a small lizard-like animal) can grow back its leg. why cant a human do the same?” asked peruvian-born surgeon dr. anthony atala in a recent interview. the question, a reference to work aiming to grow new limbs for wounded soldiers, captures the inventive spirit of regener
