pinocchio, who begins life as a puppet, teaches us the _36_of telling the truth. in the story of young george washington, who lies about cutting down the cherry tree, we learn that he earns his fathers praise only when he _37_what he has done. even though we know that “honesty is the best policy，” why do we often lie in our everyday life? there is more than one factor_38_what we do.we sometimes lie to_39_ our errors and mistakes. for example，some students might lie to their teachers about unfinished homework. they might say that they left the work at home when, _40_, they didnt even do the work. these students dont want to be irresponsible, so they _41_a lie to save face.another reason we lie is to _42_situations we dont want to be inif we just dont want to attend the dorm meeting early on saturday morning, we might give this_43_: “ive been fighting off a cold all week，and i need to sleep on saturday morning.” we lie because we_44_ believe that telling the truth will cause problems. when we dont know how to say no, we often use lies to avoid difficulties. however, lies are not always negative; in fact two kinds of lies can _45_ positive results. the first is commonly _46_ as a “white lie.” we tell white lies when we dont want to _47_ other peoples feelings. for example, if a good friend _48_ with an unflattering（难看的）haircut, it is awful to tell the truth and say, “that haircut is terrible. it doesnt suit you at all！” _49_, we are more likely to lie and say, “i like your haircutit looks good on you,” thus _50_ our friends feelings. the second kind of positive lie is the “protective lie”.this one can help us get out of or avoid _51_ situations. parents often teach their children to use this kind of lie. for example, parents tell their children not to say that they are home alone if they receive phone calls from strangers. in this situation, lying can _52_ harm or disasters.people lie for many reasons, both good and bad. _53_, before we resort to（采用）lying to cover up _54_ or to avoid unpleasant situations, perhaps we should rethink our _55_ for lying.36. a. way b. lessonc. significanced. difficulty37. a. realizesb. admitsc. regretsd.

days. i stepped into a tiny ice-cream shop to cool off with a chocolate ice-cream. it was an old woman bent over a table near the door. her back was so badly twisted that her face nearly touched the tabletop. i sat down facing her a couple of tables away.“poor woman,” i thought, “what does she get out of life? why god let people live so long past their prime?”as i thought, another aged lady entered the shop and sat down with her. soon the two of them were talking about childhood days. they talked of how little the shop had changed in 70 years. in minutes, the two of them were trembling with laughter.i looked again at the first woman, then in the mirror on a nearby wall, catching a picture of myself. i was wearing a dirty shirt. she was well dressed in white, her hands sparking with gold rings. i was sad. she was laughing, smiling. i was putting the pieces of my life together. she had millions of wonderful memories to recall. i sat alone. she was sharing the day with a good friend. i was secretly worried about getting old. she was old, but it wasnt hurting her.as i left the shop, i thought of my foolish question about god letting people live past their prime. why, that

gray, phd, of the university of north carolina, us, has made it his business to examine this overlooked form of public transport. he is known as the “elevator guy”. “the lift becomes this interesting social space where etiquette (礼仪) is sort of odd (奇怪的),” gray told the bbc. “they elevators are socially very interesting but often very awkward places.” we walk in and usually turn around to face the door. if someone else comes in, we may have to move. and here, according to gray, liftusers unthinkingly go through a set pattern of movements. he told the bbc what he had observed. he explained that when you are the only one inside a lift, you can do whatever you want its your own little box. if there are two of you, you go into different corners, standing diagonally (对角线地) across from each other to create distance. when a third person enters, you will unconsciously form a triangle. and when there is a fourth person it becomes a square, with someone in every corner. a fifth person is probably going to have to stand in the middle. new entrants to the lift will need to size up the situation when the doors slide open and then act decisively. once in, for most people the rule is simple look down, or look at your phone. why are we so awkward in lifts? “you dont have enough space,” professor babette renneberg, a clinical psychologist at the free university of berlin, told the bbc. “usually when we meet other people we have about an arms length of distance between us. and thats not possible in most elevators.” in such a small, enclosed space it becomes very important to act in a way that cannot be construed (理解) as threatening or odd. “the easiest way to do this is to avoid eye contact,” she said.61.the main purpose of the article is to _.a. remind us to enjoy ourselves in the elevatorb. share an interesting but awkward elevator ridec. tell us some unwritten rules of elevator etiquetted. analyze what makes people feel awkward in an elevator62. according to gray, when people enter an elevator, they usually _.a. turn around and greet one another b. look around or examine their phonec. make eye contact with those in the elevatord. try to keep a distance from other people63. which of the following describes how people usually stand when there are at least two people in an elevator?a. door b. door c. door d.door(the point in the chart refers to one person.)64. the underlined phrase “size up” in paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to _.a. judge b. ignore c. put up with d. make the best of65. according to the article, people feel awkward in lifts because of _.a. someones odd behaviors b. the lack of spacec. their unfamiliarity with one another d. their eye contact with one anothercfrom now on, never spend your precious time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings. instead, realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. only you have the power to make those seeds grow.the seeds, and the power to grow them, are contained in the most awesome machine ever created：the human mind. success is a choice and not a chance. you were born a winner. you were born rich. you can be a success if only you make the right choice.you cannot be successful without first developing your self-esteem. your level of self-esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life. people with low self-esteem are people who do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives. they are the perennial(长期的) victims and martyrs（殉道者）. they are leaves tossed(摇摆) by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather.you can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for everything that happens in your life. failures think that everything happens by accident and chance. successful people realize that they are responsible.everything happens as a result of something. if we can identify the cause, we can control the effect. we are responsible for what we choose to think and believe. one generally rises to the level that one expects. we are responsible for setting our expectations. our success is dependent upon our level of confidence.if you associate with positive-thinking people, you are definitely going to achieve success. on the contrary, the opposite happens. we are responsible for finding, planting, and nurturing the seeds that contain future victory, born from setbacks.in short, in all areas of your life, whether they be financial, physical, emotional, or spiritual, you are responsible. once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it, you are on the road to success.66. people with low self-esteem are compared to leaves because they_.a. cant exercise control over themselves b. are ready to change their minds c. dont have the power to face their fated. are easily affected by windy weather67. losers would think that_. a. success is the result of hard work b. their failure is only because of bad luck c.working hard will lead to success d. they dont make efforts to succeed68. it can be inferred from paragraph 5 that_. a. setting our expectations is essential before taking action b. developing confidence is the key to future success c. thoughts and beliefs are the result of creative mind d. whether we will succeed depends on our attitudes 69. the last paragraph serves as_. a. the proof of the authors points b. an introduction to another topic c. the conclusion of the argument d. a comparison between
