40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。ait was the end of my first day as a waitress in a busy new york restaurant. my cap had gone away, and my feet hurt. the loaded plates i carried seemed to be heavier and heavier. tired and discouraged, i didnt seem able to do anything right. as i made out a check for a family with several children who had changed their ice-cream order a dozen times, i was ready to stop. then the father smiled at me as he handed me my tip. “well done,” he said, “youve looked after us really well.” suddenly my tiredness disappeared. i smiled back, and later, when the manager asked me how id liked my first day, i said, “fine!” those few words of praise had changed everything. praise is like sunlight to human spirit; we cannot flower and grow without it. and yet, most of us are only too ready to apply to others the cold criticism, but are unwilling to give out fellows the warm sunshine of praise. perhaps that is why one word of praise can bring such pleasure.its strange how chary we are about praising. perhaps its because few of us know how to accept it. its especially rewarding to give praise in areas in which effort generally goes unnoticedan artist gets admired for a glorious picture，a cook for a perfect meal and a musician for fantastic worksbut do you ever tell your laundry manager how pleased you are when the shirts are done just right? in fact，to give praise costs the giver nothing but a moments thought and a moments effort56which of the following can describe the writers situation before she got her tip?ashe was confidentbshe was happy cshe was content dshe was tired57according to the passage，which of the following is least likely to be given praise?aan artist ba cook ca musician da laundry manager58the

give others praise! ddont criticize others!ba few days ago i asked my sons governess (女家庭教师) julia to come into my study. “be seated, julia,” i said, “lets settle our accounts(账). i guess you most likely need some money, but maybe youre too polite to mention it. now then, we agree on thirty dollars a month ” “forty.” “no, thirty. i made a note of it. i always pay our governess thirty. well, um, youve been here two months, so ” “two months and five days.” “exactly two months. i made a special note of it. that means you have sixty dollars coming to you. take off nine sundays you know you didnt work with tom on sundays, you only took walks. and three holidays ” julia was biting her finger nail nervously, her face red, but not a word. “three holidays, therefore take off twelve dollars. four days tom was sick and there were no lessons, as you were occupied only with dick. three days you had a toothache and my wife gave you permission not to work after lunch. twelve and seven-nineteen. take nineteen off that leaves hmm forty one dollars. correct?” julias left eye reddened with tears. her chin trembled; she coughed nervously and blew her nose, but still not a word. “around new years day you broke a teacup and a saucer; take off two dollars. the cup cost more, it was a treasure of the family, but forget it. then, due to your neglect, tom climbed a tree and tore his jacket; take away ten. also due to your carelessness, the maid stole dicks shoes. you ought to watch everything! you get paid for it. so, that means five more dollars off. the tenth of january i gave ten dollars.” “you didnt.” sobbed julia. “but i made a note of it.” “well if you say so.” “take twenty seven from forty one that leaves fourteen.” her eyes were filled with tears. poor girl! “only once was i given any money,” she whispered, her voice trembling, “and that was by your wife. three dollars, nothing more.” “really? you see now, and i didnt know that! take three from fourteen leaves eleven. heres your money, my dear. three, three, three, one and one. here it is!” i handed her eleven dollars. she took them and pocketed them. “merci (thanks), ” she whispered. i jumped to my feet and started pacing the room. i was overcome with anger. “for what, this merci?” i asked. “for the money.” “but you know ive cheated you robbed you! i have actually stolen from you! why this merci?” “in my other places they didnt give me anything at all.” “they didnt give you anything. no wonder! i played a little joke on you, a cruel lesson, just to teach you i am going to give you all the eighty dollars! here they are in the envelope is it really possible to be so spineless (懦弱)？why didnt you protest? why were you silent? is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws to be such a fool?” embarrassed, she smiled. and i could read her expression, “it is possible.” i asked her pardon for the cruel lesson and gave her the eighty dollars. she murmured her little “merci” several times and went out. i looked after her and thought, “how easy it is to crush the weak in this world!”60. while talking to julia, the writer expected her _.a. to make a protestb. to show gratitudec. to obeyd. to

england, the united states and australia. they also want their children to take extra-course activities where they will either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes which will give them a head in life. the chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. so parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education. even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter.however, what most parents fail to see is that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap.parents can see that their children are
