especially if its given from the 37 . when people are talking, theres no need to do anything but 38 them. just take them 39 . listen to what theyre saying. care about it. most times caring about it is even more important than 40 it. one of my patients told me that when she 41 to tell her story, people often 42 to tell her that they had once had something just like that happen to her. subtly her pain became a story about themselves. 43 she stopped talking to most people. it was just too 44 . we connect through listening. when we interrupt what someone is saying to let them know that we understand, we move the 45 of attention to ourselves. but when we listen, they know we care.i have ever learned to 46 to someone crying by just listening. in the old days i used to reach for the tissues(纸巾) 47 i realized that passing a person a tissue may be just another way to shut them 48 , to take them out of their 49 of sadness and pain. now i just listen. when they have cried all they need to cry, they find me there 50 them. this 51 thing has not been that easy to learn. it certainly went against everything i had been 52 since i was very young at school. i thought people listened only because they were too 53 to speak or did not know the answer. a loving silence often has far more 54 to connect than the most well-intentioned 55

you have a chance to go to finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the finnish people are.take the taxi drivers for example. taxis in finland are mostly high-class benz with a fare of two us dollars a kilometer. you can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. the driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.the dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. the most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter. with such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration（登记）card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.the finnish workers are paid by the hour. they are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate. from then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly.with so many loopholes（漏洞）in everyday life, surely finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages”. but the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. and workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. as the finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”.56. the underlined words in this passage means to “_”.a. be ready to help othersb. make good use of ones friendsc. be a little ahead of others d. gain something at others expense57. which of the following is not true according to the passage?a. while taking a taxi in finland, you can get off without first paying your fare.b. in a big hotel in finland, you can enjoy free meals if youre living in the hotel.c. the bosses in finland pay the employees according to registration of their working hours.d. the workers are always honest with their working hours.58. we can learn from the passage that _.a. the finnish society is of very high moral（道德）levelb. there are many loopholes in everyday life in finlandc. in finland, most taxi drivers will not charge you anythingd. everyone in finland is like a gentleman, for they have faith in themselves59. which of the following is the best title of the passage?a. life in finland b. a society with “foolish” peoplec. what a life d. honest accounts of the finnsbsometimes youll hear people say that you cant love others until you love yourself. sometimes youll hear people say that you cant expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. either way, youve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. sure we all know that were the apple of our parents eyes, and that our grandmas think were great talents and our uncle roberts think that we will go to the olympics. but sometimes its a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. if you find that believing in yourself is a challenge. it is time you build a positive self-image and learn to love yourself.self-image is your own minds picture of yourself. this image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think. interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about us. unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be. thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world.the best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. that is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. dont allow doubts to occur in it.it very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you cant move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task. if you think youre silly because you arent good at math, find a tutor. if you think youre weak because you cant run a mile, get to the track and practice. if you think youre dull because you dont wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes. but remember, just because you think it doesnt mean its true.the best way to get rid of a negative serf-image is to realize that your image is far from objective, and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. when you can pat（拍）yourself on the back, youll know youre well on your way. good luck!60. you need to build a positive self-image when you _.a. dare to challenge yourselfb. feel it hard to change yourselfc. are unconfident about yourselfd. have a high opinion of yourself61. how should you change your serf-image according to the passage?a. to keep a different image of others.b. to make your life successful.c. to understand your own world.d. to change the way you think.62. what is the passage mainly about?a. how to prepare for your success.b. how to face challenges in your life.c. how to build a positive self-image.d. how to develop your good qualities.63. who are the intended readers of the passage?a. parents. b. adolescents. c. educators. d. people in general.ca year ago, at the annual pre-grammy party, whitney houston, the great star, walked on stage and closed the evening with a brilliant performancelast saturday, houston was once again the focus before the grammy, but her presence was a regrettable oneearlier that day, the pop musics former queen was found dead in her hotel roomshe was 48this, no doubt, is sad news to the whole music industry and her fans all over the worldat her peak, houston was the golden girl of the music worldfrom the mid-1980s to the late 1990s, she was one of the worlds best-selling artistsshe impressed audiences with her effortless, powerful and peerless performancebesides multi-million record sales, houston made countless hits such as the greatest love of all, i ha-oe nothing , and the mostly famous i will always love youshe also influenced a generation of younger singers, from christina aguilera to mariah careybut by the end of her career, there was a shocking fall for this superstarhouston had been addicted to drugsher album sales declined and the hits stopped coming and her once beautiful voice became hoarse （嘶哑的）, unable to hit the high notes as she used toin 2009, houston staged a successful comeback with the album i look to you, which fell on top of the chartsbut hoarse voice, canceled concerts, and continuous illness-houstons comeback trail wasnt smooth at allin an interview with oprah winfreyin2009, houston admitted: it （show business） is too much for me and i wanted outnow that houston has finally taken a break from all the chaos, may she rest in peace64whitney houston died _ashortly before the grammy this year bearlier last sundayca year ago dat the

americaas a boy, he spent time in the larger cities of italy, france and switzerland, where bottled water is consumed dailyeven then, he kept a record of the brands he liked bestmy dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap water, he saysbut is plain tap water all that bad? not at allin factnew yorks drinking water for more than a century was called the champagne of tap water and until recently considered among the best in the world in terms of both taste and puritysimilarly, a magazine in england found that tap water from the thames river tasted better than several leading brands of bottled water that were 400 times more expensivehowever, soft-drink companies view bottled water as the next battle-ground for market share, as bottlers and restaurateurs are longing for the profits from ita restaurants typical mark-up （加价） on wine is 100 to 150 percent, while on bottled water its often 300 to 500 percentas a result, some restaurants are trying to sell more bottled watersome of the more shameless tactics（手段） include putting attractive bottles on the table for a visual sell, listing brands on the menu without prices, and pouring bottled water without even asking the diners whether they want itregardless of how its sold, the popularity of bottled water taps into our desire for better health, our wish to appear educated, and even a longing for lost purity68by saying “my dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap water, arthur von wiesenberger suggests that _abottled water is superior to tap waterbplain tap water is certainly unfit for

educated and gifted people. we meet them every day. a few days ago, my car was not running well. i pulled it into a garage and the young mechanic had it fixed in just a few minutes. he knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine. i was amazed. the sad truth is, great talent is not enough. i am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn. i heard the other day that less than 5 percent of americans earn more than $100, 000 a year. a business consultant who specializes in the medical trade was telling me how many doctors and dentists struggle financially. it was this business consultant who gave me the phrase, “they are one skill away from great wealth.” there is an old saying that goes, “job means just over broke (破产) ”. and unfortunately, i would say that the saying applies to millions of people. because school does not think financial intelligence is intelligence, most workers“ live within their means”. they work and they pay the bills. instead i recommend to young people to seek work for what they will learn, more than what they will earn. when i ask the classes i teach, “how many of you can cook a better hamburger than mcdonalds?” almost all the students raise their hands. i then ask, “so if most of you can cook a better hamburger, how come mcdonalds makes more money than you?” the answer is obvious: mcdonalds is excellent at business systems. the reason so many talented people are poor is because they focus on bui1ding a better hamburger and know little or nothing about business systems. the world is filled with talented poor people. they focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger.7l. the author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph to show that
