do you want me to break my neck?” the sage was silent. then he took another stone and threw it at the man. the man was very angry: “if i could just come down, i would show you!”thats what everybody wanted - that he came down. but how? now everybody was tense(紧张), as to what would happen next! some wanted to punish the sage, but they didnt. the sage picked another stone and threw it again at the man, even more forcefully. now the man on the tree was enraged and developed a great determination to come down and take revenge（报仇）.he then used all his skill and strength and somehow reached the branches which were safe to start going down. and he made it! everybody was amazed.however, the rescued man found the sage gone. he stood there, realizing that the man really helped him because he induced him to try his best and save himself. “i should be thankful and not angry.” 61what happened after he had picked a few sweet reddish mangoes?ahe remained hanging helplessly on the tree.bhe slipped and fell to the ground suddenly.che was climbing down quickly but carefully.dhe shouted loudly for help but no one helped.62how did the man feel when the sage hit him with a stone?ahe was nervous.bhe kept silent.che was angry. dhe felt surprised.63what do you think motivated the man to climb down? acourage.b. assistance.ccarefulness.drevenge. 64from the story we know that the sweetest mango must be the one . aon the tree for the longest time bhidden in the middle of a treecon the very top of the a tree dexposed to sunlight less often65the best title of this passage will be _.aanger saves ones life.bwisdom does count.cskill and strength count.danger is the biggest enemy.clike many men at some point, i dream about opening a bar. i plan to call it work out. it will cater to married women in need of a little fun. on friday nights, they will be able to come here and enjoy themselves.see, i have a gift for business. i am, as my wife zsa zsa likes to note, “a man with a million ideas, none of them very good.” speaking of zsa zsa, she is fed up with this plain little life ive made for ustoo many kids, too much house work, mind numbing debt. the other day, she said she thought we needed a new family car. “sure. how about an 87 lincoln?” i said, and saw my dear zsa zsa age about 20 years, and become her mother right before my eyes.yes, money is our madness. last year, we thought we had found a little cushion when i published a book about the life here in suburban america. it sold 12 copiessix of them to my mother. four other copies went to various aunts and uncles, who used them for martini coasters (杯垫), then sold them at yard sales. the two remaining copies went to perfect strangers. (i think i owe you dinner, whoever you are. call me, ok? well arrange something.)when the book didnt take off, i wrote a tv show. then i penned a short novel based on the earlier tv idea that didnt sell. currently, i am at work on a set of encyclopedias(百科全书). in a month, i plan to sell them door to door.such is the life of a writer, sending off the most personal thoughts possible to his hard drive. i am a writer, but also the breadwinner in my family. im at the keyboard at 6 almost every morning, hoping to tap out one ideajust onethat will take us up the hill, to the mountain, to the top.66. what does the underlined word “cushion” mean ?a. comfortable seat. b. unexpected success.c. best-selling book. d. financial help.67. according to the passage, the author is leading a/an life.a. enjoyableb. wealthy c. comfortabled. hard68. by saying “sure. how about an 87 lincoln?”, the author .a. was just joking b. promised it to his wife c. was showing off their fortune d. thought his wife would like it 69. what was the result of the book the author mentioned in the 3rd paragraph?a. it didnt sell well at all.b. he sold it door to door.c. he made a lot of money from it.d. it was really a cushion for his family.70. from the account above, which of the following statements is true?a. he has a real gift for business.b. he is a hard working writer.c. he isnt serious enough about life.d. his wife is satisfied with their plain life.ddear rudyard kipling,father has consistently tried to build up a sense of being a man in me ever since i was very young. when i reached the age of twelve he began taking me to his auto body shop. he told me this tough job would build me into a man of character. but this all changed a year ago when my mother passed away and stumbled upon your poem, if.my mother was the person who could understand me. if i ever got tired during my work hours at the shop i could call her to come and pick me up. it was my mother who developed the love of literature and languages in me. my mother spoke six languages fluently and had thousands of books, which still sit in the attic(阁楼) of our house. it was in this “library” of hers that i picked up a book of poetry from a cold metal shelf and found your poem, if. because of the death of my mother i felt alone, as if i belonged to no family. the image of a man was completely shattered when i saw him break down and cry, which looked so pathetic（凄惨的）and “unmanly” compared to his usual stoic（禁欲主义者）and emotionless countenance. yet i remained silent remembering the golden words: “if you can keep your head when all about you/ are losing theirs and blaming it on you youll be a man, my son!”if reminded me to remain calm and “keep my head” because i wanted to be a man and wanted to be the one supporting my family. i sacrificed my ability to compete in a winter spor
