died full of years, which means both died from the normal wearing out of the body after a long and full life. their homes happened to be near each other, so i paid visits to the two families. the son of one of the deceased women said to me, if only i had sent my mother to florida and got her out of this cold, she would be alive today. the son of the other deceased woman said, if only i hadnt insisted on my mothers going to florida, she would be alive today. that long airplane ride, the sudden change of climate, was more than she could take. when things dont turn out as we would like them to, it is very likely for us to think that if we had done things differently, the story would have had a happier ending. any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. there seem to be two elements in our readiness to feel guilty. the first is our pressing need to believe thatthe world makes senseand that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens. that leads us to try to find the patterns and connections. the second element is the notionthat we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen. psychologists trace this feeling back to our childhood. a baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. the world works for him. when he cries, someone comes to attend to him. when he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. very often, we do not completely outgrow the notion that our wishes cause things to happen.67. what is said about the two deceased elderly women? a. they died due to lack of care by family members. b. they lived long and died after a natural life. c. they died of the tiredness after the long plane ride. d. they werent quite used to the change in weather.68. people feel guilty for the deaths of their beloved ones because. a. they didnt know things often turn out in the opposite direction b. they do not know the natural course of events c. they couldnt find a better way to express their grief d. they believe that they were responsible for their deaths.69. the underlined sentence the world makes sense probably means that. a. theres an explanation for everything in the world b. everything in the world is pre-determined c. we have to be sensible so as to understand the world d. the word can be interpreted in different ways70. people have been made to believe since babyhood that. a. every story should have a happy ending b. life and death is an unsolved mystery c. their wishes are the cause of everything that happens d. everybody should obey their wills without question参考答案67. a 68. c 69. a *结束 singing are the pupils of the remote beau-roc primary school in haiti. one of them plays a guitar made from an empty oil tin. their headmistress, emile jean-noel, is one of the few women school principals in the country. over 70 % of haitian population live below the poverty line with inadequate food, water, schools, or housing. to reduce the hunger that prevents learning and to encourage parents to send their children to school, meals are provided by the world food programme. “we are so cut off we have many difficulties,” comments emile, adding that finding chalk, school books and other materials is practically impossible. emile tries to encourage those around her to make use of all available resources. her efforts are bearing fruit. one of her successes was convincing local women to contribute to their childrens schooling and increase their own income by selling embroidery(刺绣) and other handicrafts. recent political instability has meant that the country has not invested in education for ten years. enrolment(入学) is a mere 44 per cent and a little less than a half of those entering primary school finish it. less than a third of these go on to secondary school. in rural areas it is not rare to find 17- and 18 year-olds in primary school. beau-roc has only 4 teachers for 260 pupils. emile works constantly to improve her pupils environment. under her direction, a local worker is now constructing a storehouse for the food delivered regularly by the world food programme.not only is emiles salary too little, but she receives it irregularly. for her, transport is a real headache. she lives five kilometers away and has to take a privately-owned bus, costing more than she can afford.“the decision to be a rural teacher in haiti should not be taken lightly”, emile comments. “with all the sacrifices and risks it requires, only those who are really cut out for teaching should do it.” nevertheless, emile loves her job. “i always feel at home with the children a
