return he received rude service. he just acknowledged his customer and never even looked up at him when he requested the late night edition. accepting the newspaper, george politely smiled and wished the newsman a pleasant weekend. the owner made an indiscernible(难识别的) sound and seemed relieved that the two men had completed their dealing.as the two friends walked down the street, sydney j. harris asked, “does he always treat you so rudely?” “yes, unfortunately, he does,” george responded. “and are you always so kind and friendly to him?” “yes, i am!” george continued as they turned a corner. “why are you so nice when hes so unfriendly to you?” with a look of deep thought, george explained, “because i dont want him to decide how im going to act.”who decides how youre going to act? is it your circumstances(环境) or the difficult people in your life that determine your responses? when we allow our conflicts to control us, we behave as though getting rid of our predicaments (处境) is our only choice. therefore, it doesnt really matter how we treat one another. for example, we say, “this person is causing trouble right now so i dont care about exercising patience, self-control, and loving kindness. instead, i want to let them know how angry im because of their actions.”we forget our acts will eventually die down. but the way we handle conflicts will influence our lives for a long time. will you only respond to the momentary crisis(瞬间危机) or will you be more concerned about the lasting value of what kind of person you are becoming?68what surprised sydney j. harris

others know our anger【参考答案】68、add 71-c 阅读理解-clast week, we explained that the planet mars has passed “opposition. ”it passed a point opposite the sun. this week, we tell about the planets surprising motion(运动)among the stars. for thousands of years, people have recognized that planets travel among the stars. the planets generally follow the path taken by the sun through the sky. the suns path is called the ecliptic. the groups of stars along the ecliptic are called the zodiac. the motion of the planets can be confusing at times. everyone knows the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. but this is caused by the turning motion of the earth. planets generally move from west to east. however, mars will appear to move backward for about two months this year. this happens because the earth is overtaking mars on its way around the sun. mars began its backward, or westward, motion on may 11th, it will start moving eastward again on july 19th. mars apparent motion has been a mystery to astronomers for hundreds of years. most early theories of the solar system argued that the sun and planets turned around the earth. but the sudden westward motion of mars presented a problem. why would mars move west for two months when it nears “opposition”?in 1543, a polish church worker named nicolas copernicus published a different theory. his theory said the earth and planets moved around the sun in perfectly circular orbits. copernicus theory was simpler. but his sun centered system still did not explain the observed motion of mars very well.finally, a german mathematician named johannes kepler published a complete theory of the motion of the planets in 1619. he had carefully studied the motion of mars for many years.johannes kepler discovered that the planets do not move in circular orbits around the sun. instead, they travel in flattened orbits called ellipses. mars elliptical orbit is the cause of its unusual brightening this year and its apparent large size.during the next several weeks, you can see for yourself why the mysterious motion of mars has caused so many people to wonder.63. from the passage we can learn that .a. the sun and planets generally travel westward b. kepler studied the orbit of the planets in 1619c. copernicus theory well explained the motion of marsd. the earths turning motion causes the sun to rise in the east64. on july 19th mars .a. will pass the “opposition”b. appears to change its direction againc. will begin to move westwardd. appears to change its orbit again65. why does mars appear to be bigger and brighter when it passes “opposition”?a. it is overtaking the earth.b. it follows the path of the sun.c. it moves in an elliptical orbit.d. it travels in a circular orbit.66. what is the best title for the passage?a. the recent research into mars b. the surprising motion of marsc. the great discovery on mars d. the wonderful mystery of marsmotion of the planets in 1619. kepler在1619年出版了行星运动的完全理论” 可知，他的研究应该是在1619年之前，b错误；根据第六段最后一句“but his sun centered system still did not explain the observed motion of mars very well.”可知，c错误；根据第三段第二、三句“everyone knows the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. but this is caused by the turning motion of the earth.”可知d正确。【考点定位】考查推理判断题。64. 【答案】b 【解析】根据第四段最后一句“mars began its backward, or westward, motion on may 11th, it will start moving eastward again

outfits from recyclable materials for a charity fashion show. through this highly meaningful and profound experience, i became aware of the importance of protecting and preserving our environment when designing and making fashion items, resulting in my founding an organization to promote eco friendly, design and fashion.my interest has led me to research areas of fashion that have environmental implications. for example , some popular clothing stores have announced marketing policies designed to improve the environment. for those of us who are eco - conscious, it is responsible for us to evaluate whether such policies are just a marketing promotion, or represent great efforts to protect our environment.three chain - stores, h&m, urban outfitters and forever 21 ,have been promoting green items. after i examined their products, i have concluded that h&m and urban outfitters are truly helping the environment with their efforts, while forever 21 seems to be using the go green trend as a way to sell more products, rather than genuinely help the environment.of these three stores, h&m has the most extensive eco -fashion plans. it is already well on its way to carrying out its plans by increasingly mixing organic cotton into their garments, as well as putting fully organic cotton items on the market. the store also belongs to the organic exchange organization, which approves of growth of organic cotton. to reduce the harm from non - organic cotton production, h&m is involved with the better cotton project. mindful of the unfavorable effects of climate change, the store aims to minimize transportation and energy usage. h&m labels their eco -friendly products with an official symbol, the flower, to represent a production system that is less harmful than most traditional processes. because of these actions and policies, h&m is already well on its way to making a difference on the environment.with its urban renewal brand, urban outfitter takes a different approach than h&m in promoting eco - friendly fashion. the brand features women s clothes made from strictly environmentally -friendly sources, such as vintage, dead stock, or surplus clothing. urban renewal produces fashionable garments, and embraces being eco - friendly through recycling.unlike the other two stores above, forever 21 s eco - fashion efforts fall short; some people would say their message is thoroughly misleading. it promotes the green image, and yet many of their supposed eco -friendly products do not help the environment. for example, it sells a think green tote that, according to the site, is meant to send an environmentally friendly message. however it is made of 100% non - organic cotton which is one of the most damaging fabrics to the environment, mostly because it requires greater chemical intervention compared to organic cotton. also, the i love my planet tote is supposed to make a positive statement, but is also made of 100% cotton that is not organic. the only tote that is environmentally - friendly is the h81 organic cotton tote from forever 21 s heritage brand, made from 100% organic cotton. now that forever 21 has portrayed itself as being green, it should start walking the walk. 67. the underlined sentence in the last paragraph means _.a. all the customers are trying not to walk into the forever 21 to buy products b. the forever 21 has already been on its way to transform its negative image c. the writer publicly urges the forever 21 to put its campaign int
