filled with talented people. a few days ago, my car was not running well. i drove it into a garage(修车厂), and the young mechanic had my car 21 in just a few minutes. what 22 me most was that he knew what was wrong by simply listening to its 23 . but i am 24 shocked at how little money those talented people earn. once a business consultant(顾问) in the 25 trade told me so many doctors and dentists are struggling 26 , which surprised me so much because i used to think that after they graduated, the 27 would pour in. the business consultant then gave me the phrase, “theyre some skills away from great wealth.” it means that most people need to learn and 28 some skills of money management before their income increases 29 . unfortunately, schools 30 consider developing students financial intelligence(财务智商) as intelligence, and after graduation, most people just work hard to pay their 31 . when asked“how many of you can cook a better hamburger than mcdonalds?”, almost all my students raised their hands. i then asked, “so, why does mcdonalds make more money than you?” without doubt, the answer is 32 : mcdonalds is excellent at business systems. the reason why so many talented people are poor is that they focus on building a good hamburger, but know little or nothing about business systems. so this world is filled with talented but 33 people. too often, they struggle financially or earn less than they are 34 of, because they just focus on 35 their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger.21.a. painted b.

became both blind and deaf. the loss of sight and hearing threw him into such a sorrow that he tried several times to put an end to his life. his wife did her best to tend and comfort him. by and by he finally regained the courage to live on. on a hot summer afternoon, he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once. he stood under a large tree in order not to get himself wet. unfortunately he was struck down by a lightning. the witnesses thought him dead but he woke up some 20 minutes later lying face down in muddy water below the tree. he felt that he was trembling badly, but when he opened his eyes, he didnt dare to believe that he saw a plough（犁）lying near the wall. when mrs. edwards came running up to him, she shouted for help. he saw her and heard her voice for the first time in nearly 10 years. the news of roberts regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread. many doctors came to prove the truth of the news. most of them said that he gained sight and hearing again obviously from the knock of lightning; none of them could give convincing reasons，however. the only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that, since edwards lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock in a terrible accident, perhaps the only way for them to regain was by another sudden shock. 46. what was edwards doing when he was struck by the lightning？ a. he was taking a walk with a stick near his house. b. he was hiding from the rain under a tree. c. he was lying on the ground in the muddy water. d. he was trembling badly on the ground. 47. which of the following is not true？ a. edwards had been blind and deaf for nearly ten years. b. edwards woke up with his face in the mud. c. doctors held the belief that edwards was never really blind or deaf. d. edwards lost all his senses for about 20 minutes after the lightning had struck him down.48. what did edwards see first after being struck down by the lightning？ a. his wife b. the larger tree c. a plough d. the lightning itself49. how did edwards get his sight and hearing once more according to the doctor？ a. he regained them from a head injury when he fell from a tree. b. his wifes first visit after almost ten years made him so happy that he regained them. c. the lightning took the feeling from his legs and gave the senses of sight and hearing to his head. d. the blow that made him blind and deaf was very severe, so it took another severe blow to regain them. 50. whats the best title for the passage? a. every coin has two sidesb. regaining the long-lost sight and hearing c. a splendid thunderstormd. a thunderstorm in needbfirst aid means what it says: the aid, or help that can be given to an injured person first which is before any other help. usually the first thing we should do if a serious accident happens is to telephone for an ambulance, but sometimes quick actions by us may save someones1ife. shock: people often suffer from shock after receiving an injury. the face turns grey, and the skin becomes damp and cold. they breathe quickly. they should be kept warm. cover them with a blanket and give them a warm drink. broken bones: dont move the person. send for an ambulance at once.poison: a person who has swallowed poison should be taken to hospital at once. with some poisons, sleeping pills, for example, it is a good thing to make the person sick by pushing your fingers down his throat. but if he has swallowed some kind of acid, or anything that burns, it would be a bad thing to make the person sick by pushing your fingers down his throat. the poison would burn his throat as it came up. it is, therefore, best to find out what the person has taken so that you can call to tell the doctor.suffocation: this means not being able to breathe. for example, a drowning person will have his lungs full of water. lay him down with his head lower than the rest of his body so that the water will drain out. if a person has something stuck in his throat, try to remove it with your fingers, or by hitting him on the back. when a person has stopped breathing because of drowning, electric shock, breathing in a poisonous gas, etc, you can help him to begin breathing again. remember: when an accident happens, send someone to telephone for an ambulance at once. keep the injured person warm and quiet. give him plenty of air. do not let other people crowd around him. if you see an injured person who is being looked after, keep away. 51. the underlined word “drain out” in paragraph 5 probably means _. a.leave out b. squeeze out c. flow away d. let out52. when someone is injured, what should we do first? a. keep him warm with a blanket. b. send for an ambulance at once. c. make him sick by pushing your fingers down his throat. d. lay him down with his head lower.53. the passage is mainly about _. a. the importance of first aid b. the symptoms of shocks c. the types of injuries d. how to offer first aid54. where would this article probably appear? a. in a safety pamphlet(小册子)b. in an advertisement c. in a newspaperd. in a popular magazine55. which of the following statements about first aid is mentioned in this passage? a. first aid is always offered to the injured by the doctors. b. leave the person with broken bones alone before a doctor comes. c. give enough water to the person breathing in a poisonous gas as soon as possible. d. put down the injured with his head higher than the rest of his body. camerican society is not nap(午睡)friendly. in fact, says david dinges, a sleep specialist at the university of pennsylvania school of medicine. “theres even a ban against admitting we need sleep.” nobody wants to be caught napping or found asleep at work. a proverb says: “some sleep five hours, nature requires seven, laziness nine and wickedness(邪恶) eleven.” wrong! the way not to fall asleep at work is to take naps when you need them. “we have to totally change our attitude toward napping,” says dr william dement of stanford university, the godfather of sleep research.last year a national commission(委员会) led by dement put forward an “american sleep debt” which one member said was as important as the national debt. the commission was concerned about the dangers of sleepiness: people causing industrial accidents of falling asleep while working. this may be why we have a new sleep policy in the white house. according to recent reports, our president is trying to take a half-hour nap every afternoon.about 60 percent of american adults nap when given the opportunity. we seem to have “a mid-afternoon quiet state”, or “a secondary sleep gate”. sleeping 15 minutes to two hours in the early afternoon can reduce stress and make us refreshed. clearly, we were born to nap.we superstars of napping dont nap just to make up for the lost sleep after a night shift(夜班). rather, we take it, whenever, wherever and at whatever time we feel like it. i myself have napped in buses, cars, planes and on boats; on floors and beds; and in libraries, offices and museums.56. it is commonly accepted in american society that too much sleep is _.a. unbearable b.unfit c.harmful d.unfriendly57. the research done by the dement commission shows that _.a. americans who sleep too much usually get into debtsb. the commission blamed the national debts on peoples sleepc. not enough sleep is no good for americans and their countryd. napping at work has caused america many industrial and traffic accidents58. the writer writes this passage in order to _.a.warn us of the risks of nappingb.show us the dangers of sleeplessnessc.introduce a national commission on sleepiness in america d.convince the readers of the necessity of napping59. from the passage, we can learn that “american sleep debt” is the result of _.a.the wrong attitude the americans traditionally hold toward sleepb.the sleep policy made by the american governmentc.the rapid development of american industryd.the americans worry about the dangers of sleepiness60. the last paragraph tells us that it is_ .a.preferable to have a sound sleep after a night shiftb.good practice not to nap at workc.essential to make up for lost sleepd.natural to take a nap whenever we feel the need for itdthe environment is everything that surrounds us: plants, animals, buildings, country, air, water- everything that can affect us in any way. the environment of a town, with its buildings and its noise and smells, is a far cry from that of the countryside, with its fields and crops, its wild and domestic animals and its feeling of spaciousness(辽阔). and the environment differs in different parts of the world. ecology is the science of how living things exist together and depend on each other and on the local environment. where an environment is peaceful, the ecology of an area is in balance. man is a part of the environment and has done more to upset the ecology than any other living things. he has poisoned the atmosphere and polluted both land and water. he has wasted the earths natural resources with no thought for the future, and has thought out the cruel ways of killing his fellow men- and every other sort of life at the same time. since man has done so much damage, it is up to man to try to put matters right- if it is not already too late. if there is to be any solutions for our ills, that solutions lie in the hands of the young, and the sooner they start doing something about it, the better. one of the main causes of the earths troubles is that the world is overpopulated and that this overpopulation is growing at an ever increasing speed. at the same time we are using up our natural resources at an ever increasing speed with no hope for replacing them. for many years the earth has been unable to provide enough food for these rapidly growing populations and the position is gradually becoming worse since the areas that were once rich have turned into deserts. even at this moment many of the earths natural treasures are being destroyed, many valuable animals and plants are being killed off, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to grow enough food to prevent much of the earths population from hunger. the situation is getting out of hand. time is running out. but with your help, we may be able to save ourselves. who cares?61.what is the main theme of the passage? a. environment b. overpopulation c. environment protection d. ecology and science 62.the environment is _.a.almost the same in the world b.different in different townsc.almost the same in different towns d.different from place to place63.it can be inferred from the passage that_. a. man can do little to keep the ecological balanceb.the environment in town is worse than that in the countrysidec.to control the population is
