a country road could be. the mud made walking difficult, but he didnt really mind. it was better to think about the mud than to think about his reason for coming back.suddenly he had arrived.the old place didnt change much. his eyes noticed every detail: the farmhouse that needed paint, the barn, even the old glider-a kind of swinging seat for outdoor use. how many times he and travis had sat on the glider, swinging back and forth, imagining that it was an airplane! he and travis had been much younger then.he looked out across the fields, expecting to see travis working there. then he remembered and looked away.after a pause, he went to the kitchen door. footsteps came toward him. the door swung open. for a long moment they just stared at each other.“hello, papa.” he said. he stepped inside and his father shut the door.“the funeral was held three days ago.” there was no emotion in his fathers voice.“i know.” he looked around the room he and travis had shared. there were things missing. painfully he realized what they were. travis old jacket was gone from the hook, and all his airplane books from the shelf. it was like walking into a wrong house.“then why werent you here?” his father asked.on the day of the funeral, he had gone to the airport and watched the big jet planes, losing himself in the roar of their engines. he sighed, “i dont know why i wasnt here.”his father was looking at him coldly. he glanced down at himself, then realized what his father must be thinking about his long hair and his old jeans.“hows mum?” he asked, looking away.“not well. she took it hard.”he wasnt surprised. travis had been her world. he looked for a place to hang his coat and saw there wasnt any.coming back had been a mistake. all his old wounds were opening again. 26.

with a hard heart 30. throughout the passage it is indicated（表明）that he returned home _. a. with sweet memories b. with expectationsc. with a heavy heart d. with great angerb“meetings dont just eat up time in the workplace; they actually make groups of people stupider.” says new research. working in a group makes people perform worse on intelligence tests, as some group members are so anxious about doing well that they “divert” their brain power towards maintaining their social status in the group. “you may joke about how committee meetings make you feel brain dead, but our findings suggest that they may make you act brain dead as well,” said read montague, the study leader at virginia tech. groups of volunteers showed measurable drops in iq when asked to perform intelligence tests socially, with the results broadcast to the group. some people performed well in the “social” tests, but others were affected badly - and overall, performance dropped. women appear to feel this pressure more than men - only three out of 13 female volunteers performed well in a social environment, with 10 out of 13 finding that their performance dropped. the researchers used a magnetic resonance imaging (mri) scanner to monitor how people brains responded - and found that bad performers tended to show activity in parts of their brain that dealt with emotions and anxiety. “we started with individuals who were matched for their iq,” said montague. “yet when we placed them in small groups, ranked their performance on tasks against their peers, and broadcast the rankings, we saw dramatic drops in the ability of some study subjects to solve problems.” “our study highlights the unexpected and dramatic consequences even subtle social signals in group settings may have on the individual,” said lead author kenneth kishida. “we dont know how much these effects are present in real-world settings. by placing an emphasis on competition, for example, are we missing a large part of the talent pool?” 31. the underlined word “divert” in the paragraph 2 may mean_.a. change b. waste c. explore d. develop32. from the result of the study, we know_.a. men could like to joke at the meetings b. women are affected more than men by meetingc. women like to attend a meeting usuallyd. our brains work better when we have a meeting33. why meetings cause us to perform badly?a. because we find many problems unsolved.b. because our brains arent sensitive at that time.c. because we feel more social pressures.d. because we humans are social animals in society .34. what statement will kenneth agree to?a. talent will be created in a competitive setting.b. individuals will compete strongly in a group.c. a small group is a pool of talents.d. competition may cause a waste of talent.35. what might be the most suitable title for the passage?a. meetings become a load for many peopleb. meetings are just a waste of time in our lifec. meetings are a social environment for peopled. meetings cause people to become more foolishcfast food exists because we look for short cuts. we even look for short cuts when it comes to success and happiness. positive thinking is one of the best selling of these products. positive thinking does help success and happiness. it can create opportunities or results that may not have happened otherwise. how does positive thinking help success and happiness? how can it improve our situations? why do negative thoughts produce negative results?thoughts can affect our situations because a thought (positive or negative) creates an idea and our subconscious stores the idea. the subconscious then causes the mind to notice information related to that idea. therefore, positive thoughts cause us to notice opportunities to go after our goals. negative thoughts cause us to just notice problems and sabotage(阻碍) our success and happiness.unfortunately , many of us may not be welling to put in the time and effort that is required to get the benefits of positive thinking . instead, we look for, and buy, short cuts.my point is that thinking , wanting and imagining positive things are necessary, but these are not enough. you have to take an active role . you have to get out of bed in the morning. you have to get out of the house. you have to look for opportunities. you have to be open to the opportunities that you see. you have to have the courage to act. you have to do the work that is required. you have to do your best.in other words, if you really want to benefit from positive thinking , there are no fast food short cuts. dreaming abut the delicious things you want to eat is great, but if youre really to taste it , you have to shop for the ingredients and then you have to start cooking !positive thinking is just one of the ingredients that help us obtain success and happiness.36. positive thinking causes us to _.a. enjoy life b. notice problems c. notice opportunities d. sabotage our happiness37. it can be learned from the passage that _.a. there are many fast food short cuts.b. people dont need to take an active role.c. many of us dont look for short cuts.d. negative thoughts produce negative results.38. the underlined word “obtain” in the last paragraph cant be replaced by “_”.a. get b. gain c. lose d. win 39. what is the purpose of the passage?a. to persuade people to look for short cuts.b. to encourage people to do more thinking .c. to give people advice on how to get success and happiness.d. to tell people the advantages of positive thoughts and negative thoughts.40. what is the main topic of the passage?a. opportunities. b. positive thinking c. negative thoughts d. success and happinessddriving to a friends house on a recent evening, i was attracted by the sight of the full moon rising just above my friends rooftops. i stopped to watch it for a few moments, thinking about what a pity it was that most city people , myself included, usually miss sights like this because we spend most of our lives indoors.my friend had also seen it. he grew up living in a forest in europe, and the moon meant a lot to him then. it had touched many aspects of his life. i know the feeling. last december i took my seven-year-old daughter to the mountainous jungle of northern india with some friends. we stayed in a forest reso-house with no electricity or running hot water. our group had campfires outside every night, and indoors when it was too cold outside. the moon grew to its fullest during our trip. between me and the high mountains lay three or four valleys. not a light shone in them and not a sound could be heard. it was one of the quietest places i have ever known, a bottomless well of silence. and above me was the full moon, which struck me deeply.today our lives are filled with glass, metal, plastic and fiber-glass. we have televisions, cell phones , pagers, electricity, heaters and ovens and air-conditioners, cars, computers.struggling through traffic that evening at the end of a tiring day, most of it spent indoors, i thought: before long, i would like to live in a small cottage. there i will grow vegetables and read books and walk in the mountains and perhaps write, but not in anger. i may become an old man there , and wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled and measure out my life in coffee spoons. but i will be able to walk outside on a cold silent night and touch the moon.41. the author felt sorry for himself because_.a. there was too much pollutionb. he failed to see the fullest moonc. he didnt adapt to modern inventionsd. there were too many accidents on the road.42. the
