For example, the proverb, “plucking up a crop 27 (help) it grow”, is based on the following story. It is said that a shorttempered man in the Song Dynasty (9601279) was very anxious to help 28 rice crop grow up quickly. He was thinking about 29 day and night. But the crop was growing much slower than he expected. One day, he came up with an idea 30 he would pluck up all of his crop a few inches. He did so the next day. He was very tired 31 doing this for a whole day, 32 he felt very happy since the crop did “grow” 33 (high). His son heard about this and went to see the crop. Unfortunately the leaves of the crop began to wither.This proverb is saying we have to let things go in their 34 (nature) course. Being too anxious to help an event develop often 35 (result) in the contrary to our intention.IV. 完形填空Sunday nights are supposed to be a time for _36_, but for many people it is one of the most stressful times of the week. For many Americans, Sunday nights make people feel stressed and depressed, Denver TV station KMGH reported. “I never sleep on Sunday night very well because Im worried about going to work on Monday morning,” one _37_ told KMGH. “My job is very _38_ and you kind of have to gear up for Monday and getting back into that.” After sitting at their desks all workweek long, people cant help _39_ look forward to the weekend, KMGH reported. But once it comes around, it can go by _40_. By the time Sunday night comes around, its all but over and that is when the panic _41_ for many people.“I think what most people experience are thoughts of dread,” said psychotherapist Dr David Wright. “Before going back to work they experience withdrawal behaviors, they dont _42_their Sundays.” Wright said Sunday night stress is very _43_ and hit all _44_ of life. “Really its like having a six-day workweek because you spend the whole day thinking about going to work and dreading going to work and anticipating things happening at _45_ that may be stressful,” said Wright. “I think people can identify it many different ways. Its the same as the fear of flying or the fear of taking a test. Often times the anticipation of the _46_ is much more stressful than the event itself.” Wright said keeping _47_ on Sundays will keep peoples mind off heading back to work or school. “If its becoming disruptive, take some steps, call a friend, call a counselor, get _48_ in things you like to do and that should help,” said Wright. Perhaps the best advice for _49_ Sunday night anxiety is to create a ritual you really look forward to. It can be as simple as watching a favorite TV show each week.

This is a good rule to follow when trying to judge the intelligence of others. Some people have minds that shine only in certain situations. A young man with an unusual gift in writing may find himself speechless before a pretty girl when he speaks. He may not be able to find the right words. But dont make the mistake of thinking him stupid. With a pen and paper, he can express himself better than anybody else. Other people may fool you into overestimating(过高估计) their intelligence by putting up a good front. A student who listens attentively and takes notes in class is bound to (一定会) make a favorable impression on his teachers. But when it comes to exams, he may score near the bottom of the class. In a word, you cant judge someone by appearance. The only way to determine a persons intelligence is to get to know him. Then you can see how he reacts to different situations. The more situations you see, the better your judgment is likely to be. So take your time. Dont judge a book by its cover. 51. The passage suggests that _. A. a good writer may not be a good speaker B. a good writer is always a good speaker C. a speechless person always writes well D. a good writer will find himself speechless 52.

Pollys son, Jim, had great difficulty in school. He was classified as the educationally handicapped and required a great deal of patience on the part of his parents and teachers. But Jim was a happy kid with a great smile that lit up the room. His parents knew his difficulties, but they always tried to help him see his strengths so that he could walk with pride. Shortly after Jim finished high school, he was killed in a motorcycle accident. After his death, his mother submitted this letter to the newspaper. “Today we buried our 20-year-old son. He was killed in a motorcycle accident on Friday night. How I wish I had known that the last time I had talked to him would be the last time.
