What makes you ask such a thing?” the man said angrily.“I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?” pleaded the little boy.“If you must know, I make $20.00 an hour.”“Oh,” the little boy replied, head bowed. Looking up, he said, “Daddy, may I borrow $10.00 please?”The father was furious. “If the only reason you wanted to know how much money I make is just so you can borrow some to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why youre being so selfish. I work long, hard hours every day and dont have time for such childish games.”The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even madder about the little boys questioning. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money. After an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think he may have been a little hard on his son. Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10.00, and he really didnt ask for money very often.The man went to the door of the little boys room and opened the door. “Are you asleep, son?” he asked.“No daddy, Im awake,” replied the boy.“Ive been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier,” said the man. “Its been a long day and I took my aggravation out on you. Heres that $10.00 you asked for.” The little boy sat straight up, beaming. “Oh, thank you daddy!” he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow, he pulled out some more crumpled up bills.The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at the man. “Why did you want more money if you already had some?” the father grumbled.“Because I didnt have enough, but now I do,” the little boy replied. “Daddy, I have $20.00 now. Can I buy an hour of your time?”1. What do you know about the man?B A. He made a lot of money. B. He often came home from work late. C. He often went to work late. D.

Sometimes its a good thing to say what you feel. At other times its better to keep quiet about your feelings. Sometimes its hard to know exactly what you feel. At other times feelings are so strong that you can not control them. People from different cultures have different ways of dealing with feelings. It is said that English people are cold. If they do feel anything, they will not let other people know. This is because they grow up in a culture which tells them that its good to control their feelings. They learn when they are young that it is best to keep tears and laughter to themselves. Compared with the English, the French are much warmer and more open. They are always ready to express what they feel. However, it is said the Italians are the warmest people in the world. They let their feelings “explode”.What happens to feelings that are not expressed? Many people say they dont just disappear. They continue to exist under the surface and may come out in other forms. Anger that we dont express to others can become anger that we turn against ourselves. Fears that we dont talk about may make us become afraid of all things. We may appear to be brave, but we are fearful and anxious inside. Hurts and disappointments that we never express may make us become too careful about getting close to others. As long as we dont make others unhappy, there is noting wrong in expressing our feelings. We can express our feelings directly or indirectly. We can talk to other people about our feelings. Of course, sometimes we should also control our feelings. After all, life is made of all kinds of feelings, isnt it?6. _B_ to say what you feel.A. Its always good B. Sometimes it is good C. Its no good D. You always want 7. People _A_ have different ways of dealing with feelings. A. from different cultures B. from different countries C. from different schools D. of different occupations 8. According to the passage, _A_ are the warmest people in the world. A. the Italians B. the English C. the French D. the Chinese 9. The feelings that people dont express _C_. A. just disappear B. should never be expressed C. continue to exist under the surface D. are always bad 10. People can express their feelings directly or indirectly _A_. A. as long as they dont make others unhappy B. as long as they dont make others happy C. as soon as they dont make others unhappyD. as soon as they dont make others happy(3)I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult life. Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight, silence would teach him the joys of sound. Now and then I have tested my seeing friends to discover what they see. Recently I was visited by a very good friend who had just returned from a long walk in the woods, and I asked her what she had observed. “Nothing is particular,” she replied. I might have been incredulous had I not been accustomed to such responses, for long ago I became convinced that the seeing see little.How was it possible, I asked myself, to walk for an hour through the woods and see nothing worthy of note? I who cannot see find hundreds of things to interest me through mere touch. I feel the delicate symmetry of a leaf. I pass my hands lovingly about the smooth skin of a silver birch, of the rough bark of a pine. In spring I touch the branches of trees hopefully in search of a bud, the first sign of awakening nature after her winters sleep. Occasionally, if I am very fortunate, I place my hand gently on a small tree and feel the happy quiver of a bird in full song. I am delighted to have the cool waters of a brook rush through my open fingers. To me the pageant of seasons is a thrilling and unending drama, the action of which streams through my finger tips.At times my heart cries out with longing to see all these things. If I can get so much pleasure from mere touch, how much more beauty must be revealed by sight. Yet, those who have eyes apparently see little. The panorama of color and action which fills the world is taken for granted. It is human perhaps, to appreciate little that which we have and to long for that which we have not, but it is a great pity that in the world of light the gift of sight is used only as mere convenience rather than as a means of adding fullness to life.If I were president of a university, I should establish a compulsory course in “How to Use Your Eyes”. The professor would try to show his pupils how they could add joy to their lives by really seeing what passes unnoticed before them. He would try to awake their dormant and sluggish faculties.11. According to the text, it would be a blessing if_B_. A. every human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult life B. every human being is stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult lifeC. every human being is stricken blind and deafD. every human being were stricken blind and deaf12.

The author could not see by sight, but she _D_.A. could find hundreds of things to interest her through mere touchB. knew more than the seeing C. was very optimistic and could “see” more than the seeingD. both A and C 14. According to the text, why would it be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult life? DA. Because darkness would make him more appreciative of sight, and silence would teach him the joys of sound.B. Because people seldom cherish what they have and if they lose what they have for a short time they would cherish what they have much more.C. Because people are always longing for what they dont have.D. both A and B15. We can infer from the text that _A_.A. though the author was blind, she loved life and she knew well how to add fullness to lifeB. the author was a president of a universityC. the author established a compulsory course in “How to Use Your Eyes”D. the author appreciated little what she had and longed for what she had not.(4)The Olympic Games are the greatest festival of sport in the world. Every four years, a hundred or more countries send their best sportsmen to compete for the highest honors in sport. As many as 6,000 people take part in over 20 sports. For the winners, there are gold medals and glory. But there is honor, too, for all who compete, whether they win or lose. This is in spirit of the Olympics to take part is what matters.The Olympic Games always start in a bright color and action. The teams of all the nations parade in the opening ceremony and march round the track. The custom is for Greek team to march in first. For it was in Greece that the Olympics began. The team of the host country marches in last. The runner with the Olympic torch then enters the stadium and lights the flame. A sportsman from the host country takes the Olympic oath on behalf of all the competitors. The judge and the officials also take an oath. After the sportsmen march out of the stadium, the host country puts on a wonderful display.The competitions begin the next day. There are usually more than twenty sports in the Games. The main events are in track and field, but it is a few days before these sports start. Each day the competitors take part in a different sport riding, shooting, swimming, and cross-cou
