阅读下列短文，从每题所给的a、b、c和d项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。awhen you meet someone for the first time, you will form an impression in your mind of that person in the first moment. your reactions to other people, however, are really just barometers (晴雨表) for how you perceive(理解) yourself. your reactions to others say more about you than they do about others. you cannot really love or hate something about another unless it reflects something you love or hate yourself. we are usually drawn to those who are most like us and tend to dislike those who display those aspects of ourselves that we dislike.therefore, you can allow others to be the mirror to illuminate (阐明;照亮) more clearly your own feelings of self-worth. conversely（相反地）, you can view the people you judge negatively as mirrors to show you what you are not accepting about yourself.to survive together peacefully with others, you will need to learn tolerance. a big challenge is to shift your perspective from judgment of others to a lifelong exploration of yourself. your task is to assess all the decisions, judgments you make onto others and to begin to view them as clues to how you can heal yourself and become whole.several days ago i had a business lunch with a man who displayed objectionable table manners. my first reaction was to judge him as rude and his table manners as annoying. when i noticed that i was judging him, i stopped and asked myself what i was feeling. i discovered that i was embarrassed to be seen with someone who was chewing with his mouth open and loudly blowing his nose. i was astonished to find how much i cared about how the other people in the restaurant perceived me.remember that your judgment of someone will not serve as a protective shield against you becoming like him. my judging my lunch partner as rude does not prevent me from ever looking or acting like him. in the same way, extending tolerance to him would not cause me to suddenly begin chewing my food with my mouth open.when you approach life in this manner, those with whom you have the greatest dissatisfactions as well as those you admire and love can be seen as mirrors, guiding you to discover parts of yourself that you reject and to embrace your greatest quality.56. we can know from the passage that the author advises people to _.a. avoid inappropriate manners. b. learn tolerance towards others.c. pay attention to others needs and feelings.d. judge others favorably in any case.57. the underlined word “objectionable” in paragraph 4 has the closest meaning to _.a. discouraging b. satisfying c. unpleasant d. acceptable58. according to the passage, the following statements are all true except _.a. you cant really love or hate others if they are similar to you.b. we are easily attracted by someone who is similar to us.c. our first judgment of a person mostly comes from our personal opinion.d. the moment we see a stranger, our mind forms an impression of that person.59. throughout the entire story, the last paragraph serves as a(n) _.a. explanation b. example c. background d. conclusion60. it can be implied from the text that _.a. the writers first reaction to the man was to judge him as offensiveb. we will need to learn tolerance to coexist with othersc. we shouldnt focus on judging others but should constantly reflect on our ownd. the writer didnt care about other peoples view of himbwrite a winning story!you could win 1,000 in this years fiction prize and have your story printed in keep writing magazine. ten other lucky people will win a cheque for 100.once again, we need people who can write good stories. the judges, who include mary littlejohn, the novelist, michael brown, the television reporter, and susan hitchins, the editor of keep writing, are looking for

problems with friends - these were the main subjects of the stories. however, you need to turn ordinary situations into something interesting that people will want to read about. make the reader want to continue reading by writing about ordinary things in a new and surprising way.get your facts rightits no good giving a description of a town or explaining how a jet engine works if you get it wrong. so avoid writing anything unless youre certain about it.hold the readers attentionmake the beginning interesting and the ending a surprise. there is nothing worse than a poor ending. develop the story carefully and try to think of something unusual happening at the end.think about the characterstry to bring the people in your story alive for the reader by using well-chosen words to make them seem real.your story must be your own work, between 2,000 and 2,5000 words and typed, double-spaced, on one side only of each sheet of paper.even if youre in danger of missing the closing date, we are unable to accept stories by fax or email. you must include the application form with your story. unfortunately your story cannot be returned, nor can we discuss our decisions.you should not have had any fiction printed in any magazine or book in this country - a change in the rules by popular request - and the story must not have happened in print or in recorded form, for example on radio or tv, anywhere in the world.your fee of 5 will go to the writers association. make your cheque payable to keep writing and send it with the application form and your story to: keep writing 75

loved each other, but they didnt seem to like each other very much. dad was too fond of his beer, and he talked down to mom a lot. when she tried to stand up to him, a fight would unavoidably follow. it was my dads disease that began to change things. the year 1998 was the beginning of a remarkable transformation for my family. my father, jim dineen, the always healthy, weightlifting, never-missed-a-day-of-work kind of dad, discovered he had kidney (肾)disease. the decision to go ahead with a transplant for my father was a long and tough one, mostly because he had liver damage too. one physicians assistant told him, “according to your file, youre supposed to be dead.” and for a while, doctors mistakenly thought that he would need not just a kidney transplant, but a liver transplant too. dads future hung in midpoint. when the donor testing process finally began in the spring of 2003, numerous people, including me, my uncle tom, and my mom, came back as matches of varying degree. but mom was the one who insisted on going further. she decided to donate a kidney to my father.
