tilted, and shoulders bent forward he leaned on his trusty stick with each unhurried step. his torn cloth jacket, patched trousers, worn out shoes, and warm personality made him stand out from the usual saturday morning breakfast crowd. he stopped, turned with his whole body, and winked at a little girl seated by the door. she flashed a big smile right back at him.a young waitress named mary watched him walk toward a table by the window. she ran over to him, and said, “here, sir. let me give you a hand with that chair.” she pulled the chair away from the table. steadying him with one arm, she helped him move in front of the chair, and get comfortably seated. then she moved the table up close to him, and leaned his stick against the table where he could reach it.in a soft, clear voice he said, thank you, miss. and bless you for your kind gestures.“youre welcome, sir.” she replied. “and my name is mary. ill be back in a moment, and if you need anything at all in the mean time, just wave at me!”after he had finished a hearty meal, mary brought him the change from his ticket. he left it on the table. she helped him and walked with him to the front door. holding the door open for him, she said, “come back and see us, sir!” he turned and nodded a thank-you. “you are very kind.” he said softly, smiling.when mary went to clean his table, she almost fainted. under his plate she found a business card, and a note scribbled on a napkin. under the napkin was a one-hundred-dollar bill. the note on the napkin read, “dear mary, i respect you very much, and you respect yourself too. it shows by the way you treat others. you have found the secret of happiness. your kind gestures will shine through those who meet you.”the man she had waited on was the owner of the restaurant where she worked. this was the first time that she, or any of his employees had ever seen him in person.61. the old man left $ 100 under the napkin because he _ awas grateful for marys kindnessbwanted to encourage mary to do more good deedscappreciated marys kindness and work attitudedthought highly of the tasty meal in the restaurant62. what do we know about mary and the old man?amary knew who the old man was from the notebmary recognized the old man when she served himcthe old man intended to have mary as his secretarydmary had never seen her boss face to face before63. it can be inferred that the old man went to the restaurant to _ahave a good meal benjoy good servicechave an on-site visit dshow his generosity64. the passage is developed mainly by_afollowing the order of space bfollowing the order of timecmaking comparisons dproviding examples65. the best title of the passage would be _aemployer and employee bthe secret of happinessca gift from the manager dgood service in the restaurant(b)when you make a mistake, big or small, cherish (珍视) it like its the most precious thing in the world, because in some ways, it is.most of us feel bad when we make mistakes, beat ourselves up about it, feel like failures, get mad at ourselves.and thats only natural. most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad, and we should try to avoid mistakes. weve been scolded when we make mistakesat home, school and work. maybe not always, but probably enough times to make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious（无意识的）reaction.yet without mistakes, we could not learn or grow. if you think about it that way, mistakes should be cherished and celebrated for being one of the most amazing things in the world. they make learning possible; they make growth and improvement possible.by trial and errortrying things, making mistakes, and learning from those mistakeswe have figured out how to make electric light, to paint the ceiling of the sistine chapel, to fly. mistakes make walking possible for the smallest toddler, make speech possible, and make works of genius possible.think about how we learn：we dont just consume information about something and instantly know it or know how to do it. you dont just read about painting，or writing，or computer programming，or baking, or playing the piano, and know how to do them right away. instead, you get information about something, from reading or from another person or from observing usually.then you construct a model in your mind.then you test it out by trying it in the real world.then you make mistakes.then you revise the model based on the results of your real world experimentation.and repeat, making mistakes, learning from those mistakes, until youve pretty much learned how to do something. thats how we learn as babies and toddlers, and how we learn as adults. mistakes are how we learn to do something newbecause if you succeed at something, its probably something you already knew how to do. you havent really grown much from that successat most its the last step on your journey, not the whole journey. most of the journey is made up of mistakes, if its a good journey.so if you value learning，if you value growing and improving，then you should value mistakes. they are amazing things that make a world of brilliance possible.66. why do most of us feel bad about making mistakes?a. because mistakes make us suffer a lot.b. because its a natural part in our life.c. because weve been taught so from a young age.d. because mistakes have ruined many peoples careers.67. according to the passage, what is the right attitude to mistakes?a. we should try to avoid making mistakes.b. we should owe great inventions mainly to mistakes.c. we should treat mistakes as good chances to learn.d. we should make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.68. the underlined word “toddler” in paragraph 6 probably means _.a. a small child learning to walkb. a kindergarten child learning to drawc. a primary pupil learning to readd. a school teenager learning to write69we can learn from the passage that _.a. most of us can really grow from successb. growing and improving are based on mistakesc. we learn to make mistakes by trial and errord. we read about something and know how to do it right away70. what is the best title of this passage? a. value mistakes b. mistakes make things possible c. try to avoid mistakes d. life is a journey full of mistakes(c)a popular saying goes, “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” however, thats not really true. words have the power to build us up or tear us down. it doesnt matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.we all talk to ourselves sometimes. were usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. in fact, we really shouldnt be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.this “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. so in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. we should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. the next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying “good job!”often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. but we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. for example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. and the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. or harsh (刻薄的) and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.words possess power because of their lasting effects. many of us regret something we once said. and we remember unkind words said to us! before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: is it true? is it loving? is it needed? if what we want to say doesnt pass this test, then its better left unsaid.words possess power: both positive and negative. those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. we can offer hope, build self-esteem (自尊) and motivate others to do their best. negative words destroy all those things. will we use our words to hurt or to heal? the choice is ours.71. the main idea of the first paragraph is that _. a. words have a lasting effect on usb. inspiring words give us confidence c. negative words may let us downd. not sticks and stones but words will hurt us72.there is no need for us to feel embarrassed when we talk to ourselves because _. a. almost everybody has the habit of talking to themselves b. talking to ourselves always gives us courage c. we can benefit from talking to ourselves d. it does no harm to have “self-talk” when we are alone73. the underlined part in the third paragraph means that we should also timely _. a. remind ourselvesb. praise ourselves c. make ours
