if so, try your best not to let the situation break you. life is just a mixture of good times and bad times, happy moments and unhappy moments. if you are experiencing one of those bad times or unhappy moments, bend, but dont break. with hope for a better tomorrow or a better situation, things may not be as bad as they seem to be. the difficult situation may be easier to deal with if the result is worth having. so, the next time if you survive the experience, show resilience like the bamboo tree, bend, but dont break!( )4.why does the writer usually go to the river?a. because he likes sitting on the bank. b. because its windy and cool there.c. because he likes the bamboo trees. d. because he can watch the bamboo trees bend and jump back softly( )5. the underlined word “resilience” means_ a. 弹力 b. 适应力 c. 浮力 d. 排斥力( )6. which is not true according to the passage?

just a present, said the man. enjoy the game. mr. clinton wouldnt accept, so the man explained, im jackson. hans is my boss. he and his wife havent missed a world series in 18 years. but he is ill and cant watch the game this time. so he told me to give the two tickets to people who i thought would really enjoy the game. a lot of people seemed that they might just take the tickets and sell them. then i saw you and i followed you for a while. you looked sad because you cant afford them. you made me think of my dad and me when i was a child. i dreamed of going to a world series game with my father. but my dream never came true. how do you suppose this made mr. clinton and his son feel? here is what mr. clinton said, this is the most wonderful thing that ever happened to us. my boy and i must have turned to each other over 30 times and said, i cant believe this. we still never forget jackson and hans.( )7. the underlined word scalpers in the first paragraph means _. a. people who buy tickets at a reasonable price b. people who sell tickets at a reasonable price c. people who buy tickets at a high price d. people who sell tickets at a high price( )8. how did the father and the son feel when they knew how much the scalpers asked for?a. happy. b. excited. c. angry. d. hopeless.( )9. which of the following is not true according to this passage?a. we should try our best to do what we want to do. b. roses given, fragrance (芬芳) in hand. c. if you cannot see the chance of doing something, just give it up.d. never lose your heart when you are down, as theres always a hope.(d)five years ago, david wore an expensive suit to work every day. “ i was a clothes addict (有瘾的人),” he jokes. “i used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so i could change if my clothes got dirty.” today david wears casual clothes (便服)- khaki pants and a sports shirts-to the office. he hardly ever wears a necktie. “i am working harder than ever,” david says, “and i need to feel comfortable.” more and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work. in the united stated, the changes from normal to casual office wear has been gradual (逐步的). in the early 1990s, many companies allowed their workers to wear casual clothes on friday (but only on friday). this became known as “dress-down friday” or “casual friday”. “what started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit (利益) for workers has really become an everyday thing.” said maisly jones.why have so many companies started allowing their workers to wear casual clothes?
