ran into a stranger as he passed by. “im sorry!” was my reply. then he said, “excuse me too i wasnt _36_ watching for you.” we were very polite, this stranger and i. then we went _37_ our way after saying goodbye. but at _38_, a different story is told. how we treat our loved ones, young and old. later in the kitchen, as i _39_ our meal, my daughter walked up to me, very quietly. when i turned, i _40_ knocked her down. “get out of the way!” i shouted with a frown. she stepped away silently, with her little heart _41_. i didnt realize how rudely i had spoken. that night, when i lay _42_ in bed, gods quiet voice spoke to me and said, “ while _43_ with a stranger, you are calm and polite, but with those you love, you are quick to excite.go look around on the kitchen floor, youll find some flowers there by the _44_. those are the flowers she brought for you. she _45_ them herself- pink, yellow, and your favorite blue. she stood there quietly, and you never saw the _46_ in her eyes.” by this time, i felt sad and small and now my own tears had begun to fall. i quietly went and knelt(跪)by her _47_: “wake up, my dear,” i said, “are these the flowers you got for me?” she smiled. “ i found them put by the tree. i _48_ them in a napkin(餐巾纸), just for you. i knew youd like them, especially the _49_.” i said, “im sorry that i missed them today and i _50_ have treated you that way.” and she said softly, “mommy, thats ok. i still love you _51_ .” i hugged her and said, “ i love you too and i love your flowers.” do you know that: if you die tomorrow, the _52_ you are working for could easily replace you in a matter of days? but the family you leave _53_ will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. and come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into our _54_ than into our families - an unwise investment(投资)indeed.” remember that _55_ = (f)ather-(a)nd-(m)other(i)(l)ove (y)ou.36. a. everb. evenc. alsod. right37. a. to b. inc. ond. for38. a. schoolb. workc. homed.

with a smile, i know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. i feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.“have a nice day. next!” this version(说法) of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door. the words come out in the same tone(腔调)with a fixed procedure. they are spoken at me, not to me. obviously, the concern for my day and everyone elses is the managements attempt to increase business.the expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. sometimes it shows the end of a meeting. as soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. sometimes the expression saves us when we dont know what to say. “oh, you just had a tooth out? im terribly sorry, but have a nice day.”the expression can be pleasant. if a stranger says “have a nice day” to you, you may find it heart-warming because someone you dont know has tried to be nice to you.although the use of the expression is an insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. the salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher, and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. but in a strange and comfortable way, its nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really dont care all that much. while the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. the point is that people say it all the time when they like.56. how does the author understand maxies words?a. maxie shows her anxiety to the author.b. maxie really wishes the author a good day.c. maxie encourages the author to stay happy.d. maxie really worries about the authors security.57. what does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean?a. the salesgirl is rude.b. the salesgirl is bored.c. the salesgirl cares about me.d. the salesgirl says the words as a routine.58. according to the last paragraph, people say “have a nice day” _.a. sincerelyb. as thanks c. as a habitd. encouragingly59. what is the best title of the passage?a. have a nice day - a social customb. have a nice day - a pleasant gesturec. have a nice day - a heart-warming greetingd. have a nice day - a polite ending of a conversationbthere is much discussion today about whether economic growth is desirable. at an earlier period, our desire for material wealth may have been justified. now, however, this desire for more than we need is causing serious problems. even though we have good intentions, we may be producing too much, too fast.those who criticize economic growth argue that we must slow down. they believe that society is approaching certain limits on growth. these include the fixed supply of natural resources, the possible negative effects of industry on the natural environment, and the continuing increase in the worlds population. as society reaches these limits, economic growth can no longer continue, and the quality of life will decrease.people who want more economic growth, on the other hand, argue that even at the present growth rate there are still many poor people in the world. these proponents of economic growth believe that only more growth can create the capital(资本)needed to improve the quality of life in the world. furthermore, they argue that only continued growth can provide the financial(财政的，金融的) resources required to protect our natural surroundings from industrialization.this debate over the desirability of continued economic growth is of great importance to business and industry. if those who argue against economic growth are correct, the problem they mention cannot be ignored. to find a way to solve this, economists and the business community must pay attention to these problems and continue discussing them with one another.60. those who want more economic growth believe that continued economic growth _.a. is important to the well-being of society as a wholeb. can provide ways to solve many of our social problems todayc. can protect our environment from being polluted by industryd. can provide us with more natural resources for industrialization61. the underlined word “proponents” in paragraph 3 most probably means _.a. arguments in support if somethingb. disagreementsc. people who argue for somethingd. people who argue against something62. the passage is mainly about _.a. the contradiction between economists and the business communityb. the present debate on economic growthc. the advantages and disadvantages of economic growthd. the importance of the debate on economic growthclaughter healing(治疗) benefits and healing with laughter have become synonymous with norman cousins, the man who laughed himself to wellness. norman cousins was the editor of saturday review for over 30 years.his story began in 1964, when doctors found that the connective tissue in his spine was becoming worse, which is a condition known as ankylosing spondylitis(强直性脊柱炎). the doctors, one of whom was a close friend of cousins, said that his chance of survival was approximately 1 in 500. he read about the theory that negative emotions do harm to the body, so he thought that if negative emotions were damaging to health, then positive emotions should improve health.faced with the real possibility of his approaching death, cousins thought long and hard and eventually did three things completely contrary to medical opinion.first he began his own research on all of the various drugs he was on. he discovered that his condition was removing vitamin c from his body and, based on cousins personal research, doctors agreed to take him off several of the drugs he was on and inject（注射） him with large doses of this supplement(补充物), as cousins felt this may be his last hope.secondly, cousins made a decision to check out of the hospital and into a hotel room. the third thing cousins did was get a movie projector(投影机) and a large supply of funny films. on his first night in the hotel cousins found that he laughed so hard at the films that he was able to stimulate chemicals in his body that allowed him several hours of pain-free sleep. when the pain returned he would simply turn the projector back on and the laughter would help sleep, and he was able to measure the changes in his body by measuring his blood sedimentation rate(血沉降率), and found that this rate dropped by at least 5 points each time he watched one of these videos.the treatment proved to be so effective that in very little time cousins was off all painkillers and sleeping pills. he found that the laughter relieved the pain and helped him sleep.he returned to work and wrote about his experimental treatment in his book anatomy of an illness. in 1989, it was finally acknowledged in the journal of the american medical association that laughter therapy(疗法) could help improve the quality of life for patients with chronic illness and that laughter has an immediate symptom-relieving effect.63. according to the passage, norman cousins used to be a(n)_.a. writerb. doctorc. editord. comedian64. we can learn from the passage that norman cousins _.a. was born in 1964b. had a doctor friendc. had once given up on himselfd. was affected by negative emotions65. according to norman cousins own research, _ may be good for his recovery.a. medicine in hospitalb. sleep patterns in hospitalc. much intake of vitamin cd. doctors medical opinion66. which of the following can be the title for the passage?a. norman cousins and laughter therapyb. how to fight against diseasesc. new discovery on laughterd. laugh to relieve the paindrays wedding had gone off smoothly. everyone seemed to have had a good time. a few people had too good a time; they went home with designated(指派的)drivers. all evening, the gift table remained unguarded. who would steal anything, ray thought. he had never heard of a such a thing happening at a wedding. but his best friend aaron said there was a first time for everything. he went out regularly from the inside festivities(庆祝)to check on the gift table, making sure no one suspicious was hanging around it.ray and julia went on a 3-week honeymoon to italy right after the wedding. when they got back, they opened all the gifts and sent out thank-you notes. but there was one problem. a married couple that used to be good friends had apparently given nothing. this surprised julia, because walt and mary said they were thrilled to be invited. and, they actually seemed to have had a great time at the wedding. frankly, ray didnt even care if they hadnt given a gift. he just needed to know whether to send a thank-you note. ray called aaron. aaron said maybe walt had left an envelope on the gift table like aaron had. “yes, but we got your envelope with the cask inside,” ray said.“maybe my envelope looked too thin, and some thief thought walts envelope looked nice and fat.”aaron asked ray if he had looked everywhere for walts gift. had he called up the wedding site to see if anything had been left behind? ray said that he had looked everywhere and made a lot of calls that were fruitless.ray didnt know what to do. if he sent walt and m
