I was at the funeral of my 36 . The hurt was so intense, and I found it hard to 37 at times. Suddenly, I heard a 38 open and slam shut at the back of the church. Quick 39 hurried along the floor. A young man looked around in a 40 and then sat next to me. His eyes were full of tears. “Im 41 ,” he explained, though no explanation was 42 . After several eulogies (悼文), he leaned over and commented, “Why do they keep 43 Mary by the name of Margaret?” “Because that was her name, Margaret. Never Mary,” I 44 . “No, that isnt correct,” he insisted. “Her name is Mary, Mary Peters.” “That isnt 45 this is,” I replied. “Isnt this the Lutheran church?” “No, the Lutheran church is across the street. I believe youre at the 46 funeral, sir.” The solemnness (庄严) of the occasion 47 with the realization of the mans mistake bubbled (充溢) up inside me and came out as 48 . I peeked at the misguided man seated beside me. He was laughing, 49 . I imagined Mother laughing. At the 50 “Aman”, we darted out a door and into the parking lot. “I do believe well be the 51 of the town,” he smiled. He said his name was Rick and that 52 he had missed his aunts funeral, he asked me out for a cup of coffee. That afternoon began a lifelong 53 for me with this man who attended the wrong funeral.

To those who do not recognize their unique worth, imitation appears attractive; to those who know their strength, imitation is unacceptable.In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful. When I first learned to cook, I used recipes(菜谱)and turned out some tasty dishes. But soon I grew bored. Why follow someone elses way of cooking when I could create my own? Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a childs bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them. In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously(下意识地)hold poor role models. If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others.In the field of entertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities. Those stars look great on screen. But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. If you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique. Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration, not desperation. The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them, but by those who do what has been done inside them. Creative people have an endless resource of ideas. The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with all the material knocking at the door of imagination.Study your role models, accept the gifts they have given, and leave behind what does not serve you. Then you can say, “I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors tragedies and declare victory, and know that they are cheering me on.”56. Imitation proves useful when you_.A. know you are unique B. lose the balance of lifeC. begin to learn something new D. get tired of routine practice57. To avoid the bad result of imitation, we should_.A. forget daily fear and painB. choose the right exampleC. ask others for decisionD. stay away from stars58. According to the author, the world moves on because of those who are_.A. desperate to influence others with their knowledgeB. ready to turn their original ideasC. eager to discover what their ancestors didD. willing to accept others ideas59. The trouble a creator faces is_.A. the lack of strong motivationB. the absence of practical ideasC. how to search for more materialsD. how to use imagination creatively60. What is the authors purpose in writing this passage?A. To highlight the importance of creativity.B. To criticize the characters of role models.C. To compare imitation with creation.D. To explain the meaning of success. BBill Gates and the president of General Motors have met for lunch, and Bill is going on and on about computer technology.“ If automotive technology had kept pace with computer technology over the past few decades, you would now be driving a V-32 instead of a V-8, and it would have a top speed of 10,000 miles per hour,” says Gates. “Or, you could have an economy car that weighs 30 pounds and gets a thousand miles to a gallon of gas. In either case, the sticker price(标价) of a new car would be less than $ 50. Why havent you guys kept up?” The president of GM smiles and says, “Because the federal government wont let us build cars that crash four times a day.” Why is that funny (or not funny, as the case may be)? Human beings love to laugh, and the average adult laughs 17 times a day. Humans love to laugh so much that there are actually industries built around laughter. Jokes, sitcoms and comedies are all designed to get us laughing, because laughing feels good. For us it seems so natural, but the funny thing is that humans are the only species that laughs. Laughter is actually a complex response that involves many of the same skills used in solving problems. Laughter is a great thing-thats why weve all heard the saying, “Laughter is the best medicine.” There is strong evidence that laughter can actually improve health and help fight disease. When we look at laughter-what it is, what happens in our brains when we laugh, what makes us laugh and how it can make us healthier and happier, theres a huge amount about it that no one understands yet.61.

Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Humans laugh because of jokes, sitcoms and comedies.B. Humans laugh because it can fight disease.C. Humans have gained skills to laugh since they are born.D. Laughter is a complex response of humans.64. What is the writer likely to talk about next? A. What is laughter? B. How do people laugh?C. When is laughter the best medicine? D. Where does laughter take place? CHello, children and parents. Thank you all for coming to this meeting.

But a new study suggests that many farmers recognize the value in keeping trees. Researchers using satellite images found almost half the farmland in the world is covered with trees. The World Agroforestry Center in Kenya led the study. The study found the most tree cover in South America . Next comes Africa South of the Sahara, followed by Southeast Asia. North Africa and West Asia have the least. The study also found that climate conditions alone could not explain the amount of tree cover in different areas. Nor could the size of nearby populations, meaning people and trees can live together. There are areas with few trees but also few people, and areas with many trees and many people. The findings suggest that things like land rights, markets or government policies can influence tree planting and protection.Dennis Garrity heads the World Agroforestry Center .He says farmers are acting on their own to protect and plant trees. The problem, he says, is that policy makers and planners have been slow to recognize this and to support such efforts.The satellite images may not show what the farmers are using the trees for,but trees provide nuts, fruit, wood and other products. They provide windbreaks and shade from the sun. They also help prevent so
