upon a time, there was a farmer in central china. he didnt have money, so instead of a tractor , he used an old horse to plow his field(犁地). one afternoon, while working in the field, the horse fell down, dead. everyone in the village said, “oh, what a horrible thing!” the farmer said simply, “well see.” he was so peaceful and so calm that everyone in the village got together and, admiring his attitude, gave him a new horse as a gift. everyones reaction now was, “what a lucky man!” and the farmer said, “well see.” a couple of days later, the new horse jumped over a fence and ran away. everyone in the village shook their heads and said, “what a poor fellow!”the farmer smiled and said, “well see.”eventually, the horse found his way home, and everyone said, “what a fortunate man!” the farmer said, “well see.”later in the year, the farmers young boy went out riding the horse and fell and broke his leg. everyone in the village said, “what a poor boy!”the farmer said, “well see.”two days later, the army came into the village to draft new recruits (征召新兵).when they saw the farmers son had a broken leg, they decided not to recruit him.everyone said, “what a fortunate young man!”the farmer smiled again and said, “well see.”theres no use in overreacting to the events and circumstances of our everyday lives. when our hearts are in the right place, all evens and circumstances are

is an important social skill. here are some ways to master it.recite and repeat in conversationwhen you hear a persons name, repeat it. immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips .you could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.ask the other person to recite and repeatyou can let other people help you remember their names. after youve been introduced to someone, ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you. most people will be pleased by the effort youre making to learn their names.admit you dont knowadmitting that you cant remember someones name can actually make people relaxed .most of them will feel sympathy if you say, “im working to remember names better. yours is right on the tip of my tongue. what is it again？”use associationlink each person you meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. for example ,you could make a mental note: “vicki cheng-tall，black hair”. to reinforce your association, write them on a small card as soon as possible.limit the number of new names you learn at one time.when meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. free yourself from remembering everyone. few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. last names can come later.go early consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. sometimes just a few people show up on time. thats fewer names for you to remember. and as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others-an automatic review for you. 61. how will most people feel when you try hard to remember their names?a. they will be moved b. they will be annoyed.c. they will be delighted d. they will be discouraged62. if you cant remember someones name, you may_a. tell them the truth b. tell them a white liec. ask him for pity d. ask others to help you 63. the underlined word “reinforce” mostly means “_”. a. getb. strengthen c. collect d. simplify64. when you meet a group of people, it is better to remember_a. all their names b. a couple of names first c. just their last names d. as many names as possible65. what does the text mainly tell us?a. tips on an important social skill b. importance of attending partiesc. how to make use of associations d. how to recite and repeat namesc have you ever walked to the shops, only to find when you get there that youve completely forgotten what you go for? or have you struggled to remember the name of an old friend? for years, weve accepted that a forgetful brain is as much a part of aging as wrinkles(皱纹) and grey hair. but now a new book suggests weve got it all wrong. according to the secret life of the grown-up brain, by science writer, barbara strauch, our brains actually get better with age. in fact, she argues many new studies have found that the brain hits its peak (最高点) between our 40s and 60s much later than previously thought. furthermore, not losing many brain cells as we age, we preserve them, and even produce new ones well into middle age. for years its been accepted that the brain, much like the body, got worse with age. but the longest, largest study into what happens to people as they age(变老) suggests otherwise. this continuing research has followed 6,000 people since 1956, testing them every seven years. it has found that, on average, they performed better in cognitive tests in their late 40s and 50s than they had in their 20s. specifically, older people did better in tests of vocabulary, spatial orientation (空间方向) skills, verbal memory (how many words you can remember) and problem solving. where they were weaker was in numeracy (计算能力) (how quickly one can multiply, add, subtract and divide) and the speed at which they could move. however, with harder tasks, such as problem-solving and language, we are at our best at middle age and beyond. in short, researchers are going to come up with scientific evidence that we do get wiser with age. 66. the underlined word, it in the first paragraph refers to _.a. the older one is, the wiser one is.b. our brain gets better with age.c. we get wrinkles and grey hair as we age. d. our brains become forgetful as we age.67. science writer, barbara strauch, believes that _. a. our brains are wisest between our 40s and 60s.b. we lose many brain cells as we age.c. our brains are at their worst after our 60s. d. people are wiser now than years ago.68. what is not true of this new research? a. it is the longest and largest of its kind. b. it has been running since 1956.c. the 6,000 people have been tested at least four times so far.d. researchers have provided supporting scientific evidence 69. according to the new research, older people _. a. are slow in verbal memory and numeracy. b. have less ability to solve problems.c. behave better on tests of vocabulary than in their 20s.d. produce more new brain cells than the middle-aged.70. what is the authors purpose of wr
