saw that she was almost 37 on her chair. i then 38 she had no arms or legs, just a head, neck and 39 body. she was wearing a little white dress with red dots. as the couple 40 her up to me i was looking down at the register. i turned my head toward the girl and gave her a wink（眨眼）. as i took the money from her grandparents, i looked back at the girl, who was giving me the cutest, largest smile i have ever seen. all of a sudden her 41 was gone and all i saw was this beautiful girl, whose smile just 42 me and almost instantly gave me a completely new 43 of what life is all about. she took me from a poor, unhappy college student and brought me into her world:a world of 44 , love and 45 .that was ten years ago. im a successful business person now and 46 i get down and think about the troubles of the world, i think about that little girl and the remarkable（非凡的）lesson about life that she 47 me.36. a. inb. onc. upd. over37. a. lainb. remainedc. setd. thrown38. a. struckb. hitc.

a.offeredb. taughtc. gainedd. drewbone effective way of destroying happiness is to look at something and focus on even the smallest fault.its like looking at the tiled (铺瓦的) ceiling and concentrating on the space where one tile is_48_. once i heard a bald man said, whenever i enter a room, all i see is hair. once youve _49_what your missing tile is, explore whether acquiring it will completely make you happy. then do one of the three things: get it, replace it with a different _50_,or forget about it and _51_the tiles in your life that are notmissing. we all know people who have had a relatively _52_ life, yet are essentially unhappy while people whohave suffered a great deal but generally remain happy. the first secret is gratitude. all happy people are _53_. ungrateful people cannot be happy.the second is _54_that happiness is a byproduct of something else. the more passions we have, the more happiness we are likely to experience.finally,if you choose to find the_55_in

with a good degree in english literature, but no sense of what i wanted to do. over the next six years,i was treading water,just trying to earn an income. i tried journalism, but i didnt think i was any good, then finance, which i hated. finally, i got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher. i loved working with books, although the job that i did was dull. i had enough savings to take a year off work, and i decided to try to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel. attending a novel writing ma course gave me the structure i needed to write my first 55,000 words. it takes confidence to make a new start theres a dark period in-between where youre neither one thing nor the other. youre out for dinner and people ask what you do, and youre too ashamed to say, “well, im writing a novel, but im not quite sure if im going to get there.” my confidence dived. believing my novel could not be published , i put it aside. then i met an agent（代理商）who said i should send my novel out to agents. so, i did and, to my surprise, got some wonderful feedback. i felt a little hope that i might actually become a published writer and, after signing with an agent, i finished the second half of the novel. the next problem was finding a publisher. after two-and-a-half years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal that publisher turned out to be the one i once worked for. it feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck of fate, really. when you set out to do something different, theres no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where i now have my own name on a contract of the publisher to be a published writer is unbelievably rewarding.56. what does the underlined part in paragraph 1 mean?a. i was waiting for good fortune. b. i was trying to find an admirable job. c. i was being aimless about a suitable job. d. i was doing several jobs for more pay at a time.57. the author decided to write a novel _ .a. to finish the writing course b. to realize her own dream c. to satisfy readerswish d. to earn more money58. how did the writer feel halfway with the novel? a. disturbed.b. ashamed.c. confident.d. uncertain.59. what does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph?a. it pays to stick to ones goal. b. hard work can lead to success. c. she feels like being unexpectedly lucky. d. there is no end in sight when starting to do something.briding a london subway, a person from china will notice one major difference: in london, people do not look at each other. in fact, eye contact is avoided at all times. thats not rudenesspeople are just too busy to bother looking. busy doing what, you ask? well, theyre certainly not using the time for a moment of quiet reflection, nor are they reading a book. new technology has replaced quiet habits. today the only acceptable form of book on the london underground is an e-book.apple must earn a fortune from london commuters(乘车上下班的人). since the launch of the iphone in 2007, over 40,000yes, thats 40,000“apps” (programs downloaded for the iphone) have been designed.commuters love them because they are the perfect time-fillers. one “app”, called ishoot, is a game that features tanks. another one, tube exits, tells passengers where to sit on the train to be closest to the exit of their destination. isteam clouds the iphone screen when you breathe into the microphone. you can then write in the “ steam” on your phone screen.for those without an iphone, another apple product, the ipod, may be another choice. its not just teenagers who “plug in” to their musicipods are a popular way to pass the time for all ages.and if games, e-books and music arent enough to keep you engaged, then perhaps you would prefer a film. the development of palm dvd technology means many commuters watch their favorite tv show or film on the way to work. with all these entertainments, its amazing that people still remember to get off the train.60. people in london do not make eye contact on the subway because they are busy_.a. playing games, reading e-books, listening to music or watching films.b. going to work c. reading booksd. thinking about private things
