When a butterfly flew by with her heavy head and tired wings, the mice began to call out, “Power for sale! Power for sale!” The butterfly thought, “This is just what I need.” The mice told her that by keeping a special stone with her, she would have power and energy. So, the butterfly bought the little stone for five dollars.Soon, word spread to other animals, and the mice sold two more stones: one that they promised would bring luck to a monkey and one that they said would give courage to a sheep. The mice saw a chance: they could open a store and sell stones that promised things like talent, beauty, and hope. They would be rich.But then something happened. The butterfly lost her stone! However, she flew around with the same power as before. She realized that she did not get the power from the stone after all. It must have come from the sleep she got! Feeling silly, the butterfly went to her friends.Together, they went to the mice. “The stone you sold me doesnt give me luck!” said the monkey. “This stone doesnt give me courage at all!” said the sheep.Then the butterfly, thinking that she had the power to change the mice, said, “For you I have only one pity. You have talent and imagination. Yet you waste them in cheating you friends out of money. You might be making fast money. But soon everyone will know that you are not honest.”The mice listened and nodded. After much thought, they put down their stones and picked up paintbrushes to make paintings, and sell their beautiful works to their friends.根据短文内容, 选择最佳答案。（5分）（ ）71.

I once interviewed him and asked him the secret of his success. He asked me my opinion. I replied, “I understand you can call ten thousand people by their first names.”“No. You are wrong,” he said. “I can call fifty thousand people by their first names.”Farleys father died when he was ten. He never saw the inside of a high school, but before he was forty-six, four colleges had honored him with degrees. He had a talent for making people like him, so he went into politics. He discovered early in his life that a person is more interested in his or her own name than in all the other names on earth put together.“Remember a persons name and call him by it easily, and you have paid him a very good compliment(恭维). But if you forget it or spell it wrong, you will place yourself at a disadvantage.”Sometimes it is difficult to remember a name, especially if it is hard to pronounce. Instead of trying to learn it, many people ignore it or call the person by an easy nickname(昵称). Sid Levy once had to visit a customer whose name was Nicodemus Papadoulos. Most people just called him “Nick”.Levy told me, “I made a special effort to say his name several times to myself before I made my visit. When I greeted him by his full name, he was shocked. For several minutes there was no reply from him at all. Finally, he said with tears in his eyes, Mr. Levy, thank you for making the effort to call me by my right name.”根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。（5分）（ ）76.According to Farley, the secret of his success was that_.A. he could call a lot of people by their first namesB. he was interested in others rather than himselfC. he had a family who supported himD. he worked hard toward his dreams（ ）77.We can learn from Paragraph 2 that Farley_.A. went into politics because it was his fathers wishB. didnt like studying when he was youngC. went to college when he was forty-sixD .didnt study in a high school（ ）78.Farleys words in Paragraph 3 show that its_ to remember a persons name.A. easy B. difficult C. important D. unimportant（ ）79.

When she was 12, the only thing she wanted was to finish school. But for many girls like her, school is only a dream. 86 Families will probably spend money educating boys. Many girls have to marry early.But Florence was able to continue her education. 87 Lisa started an organization to provide many girls with the best education possible. Florence was the first of 320 Kenyan girls among them.88 During her visit, she heard that many women made and sold baskets. They used the money to send their daughters to school. “Two years later, she started to help sell the Kenyan craft( 工艺品）in the US.

(The Gap is an ocean cliff in Sydney, Australia, and a popular place for travellers.)In 1964, Don Ritchie moved into a house, right across The Gap. He began saving suicidal(想自杀的) strangers soon after. He would wake up every morning and look out of the window for “anyone standing too close to the cliff”. If he saw someone and thought they might jump, he would simply walk over, smile, and ask, “Can I help you in some way?”That sounds very simple, but the trick worked-Ritchie managed to start a conversation with these people and ended up inviting them back to his house for tea or breakfast. “He said an offer of help was all that was needed to turn people around, and he would say not to underestimate(低估) the power of a kind word and a smile,” said his daughter.“My dream has always been to just get them away from the clif
