But the people of the world have more points in which they are all like each other than points in which they are different. One type of person that is common in every country is the one who always tries to do as little as he possible can and to get as much in return as he can. His opposite, the man who is in the habit of doing more than is strictly necessary and who is ready to accept what is offered in return, is extremely uncommon everywhere.Both these types are usually not aware（知道的）of their character. The man who avoids effort is always talking about his“rights”: he appears to think that society owes him a pleasant, easy life. The man who is always doing more than his share talks of“duties”：he feels that the individual（个人）is in debt to society, and not society to the individual. As a result of their views, neither of these men thinks that he acts at all strangely.The man who tries to do as little as he can is always full of excuses：if he had neglected（漏掉）to do something, it was because he had a headache, or the weather was too hot-or too cold-or because he was prevented by bad luck. At first, other people, such as his friends and his employer, generously accept his stories; but soon they realized what kind of person he is. In the long run he deceives only himself. When his friends become cool towards him and he fails to make progress in his job, he is surprised and hurt. He blames everyone and everything except himself. He feels that society is failing in its duties towards him, and that he is being unjustly treated. He soon becomes on of the unsatisfied members of the society he lives in.If you want something done in a hurry, dont go to the man who has clearly not much to do. He will probably have a dozen excellent excuses for not being able to help you, much as he tells you he would like to. Go to the busiest man you know, particularly if you are sure that he has not a spare minute in the week. If your work is really important, he will make time for it.56One type of person that is common in every country is the one who .Atries to accept what is offeredBalways tries to do as much as he possibly canCtries to get as little as he canDtries to do as little as he possibly can and to get as much in return as he can57The man who makes no effort is always talking about .AdutiesBrewardsCrightsDshare58According to the passage, it is better for one with an urgent（紧急的）task to ask help from .Asomeone who has little to doBsomeone who enjoys no spare timeCsomebody who is wandering about with nothing to doDas many people as possible59The underlined word deceives in the third paragraph probably means .AliesBcheatsCfailsDemploysB 18, Woodman Road, Tow Bridges,West Sussex.25th FebruaryCosmo Books Ltb.Hertford Estate,Rickmansworth,Middx.Dear Sir,Just over six months ago, I saw an advertisement in the Morning Mail for a set of the complete works of William Shakespeare. Your company, Cosmo Books Ltb . , offered this set（eight books of plays and two books of poetry）at what was claimed（声称）to be aremarkableprice: fifteen pounds and fifty pence, including postage（邮费）and packing. I had wanted a set of Shakespeares plays and poems for some time, and these books in red imitation leather（人造革），looked particularly attractive; so I sent for them.Two weeks later, the books arrived, together with a set of the complete works of Charles Dickens which I had not ordered. So I returned the Dickens books to you, with a cheque for fifteen pounds and fifty pence for the works of Shakespeare. Two more weeks passed. Then there arrived on my doorstep a second set of the works of Shakespeare, the same set of novels（小说）by Dickens and a six-book-set of the plays of Moliere, in French. Since I do not read French, these were of no use to me at all. However, I could not afford to post all these books back to you, so I wrote to you at the end of August of last year, instructing you to come and collect all the books that I did not want, and asking you not to send any other books until future notice.You did not reply to that letter. Instead you sent me a bill of forty-two pounds, and a set of the plays of Schiller, in German. Since then, a new set of books has arrived every two weeks: the works of Goethe, the poems of Milton, the plays of Strindberg; I hardly know what I have. The books are still all in their boxes, in the garage, and my car has to stand in the rain outside.I have no room for any more books, and even if I read from now on until the Last Judgment, I should not finish reading all the books that you have sent me.Please send no more books, send no more bills, send no more angry letters demanding payment. Just send one large lorry and take all the books away, leaving me only with the one set of the complete works of Shakespeare for which I have paid.Yours faithfullySimon Walker60The advertisement that Mr. Walker saw in the Morning Mail was for .Aan unlimited number of Cosmo BooksBa set of the complete works of ShakespeareCa book containing all the plays and poems of ShakespeareDfifteen pounds and fifty pence61Mr. Walker answered the advertisement because .Ahe wanted a set of Shakespeares works, and this set was cheap, and looked attractiveBhe claimed that the books were being offered at a remarkable priceChe had ordered the set and had been waiting for them to come for some timeDthe set he already had was not particularly attractive62Another two weeks passed, then there arrived .Athree sets of books and a cheque for fifteen pounds and fifty penceBa third set of Shakespeare, a second of Dickens and a set of MoliereCthree sets of books including one in FrenchDthe same set of Shakespeare, the works of Goethe63Mr. Walker did not want the novels of Dickens and the poems of Milton because .Ahe was afraid he could not finish reading all of them until the Last JudgmentBhe could not afford to buy his novels as well as his playsChe had not ordered themDhe had not ordered them and could not read FrenchCCar HireHiring a self-drive car really adds to the enjoyment of your holiday.

On Christmas Eve, 1992, Anthony had a heart transplant（移植）from a 21-year-old donor（提供者）. Two days before Valentines Day in 2002, Alfred received a 19-year-old heart, marking the first time on record that twin adults each received heart transplants.“Im 15 minutes older than him, but now I m younger because of my heart and Im not going to respect him, ” Alfred said with a wide smile, pointing to his brother while talking to a roomful of reporters, who laughed frequently at their jokes.While the twins knew that genetics（遗传）might have played a role in their condition, they recognized that their eating habits might have also contributed to their heart problems.“Wed put half a pound of butter on a steak. I overdid it on all the food that tasted good, so I guess I deserved（应得）what I got for not dieting properly.”The discussion moved to Anthonys recovery. In the five years since his heart transplant, he had been on an exercise program where he regularly rode a bicycle for five miles, swam each day, and walked a couple of miles. He was still on medication（药物治疗）,but not nearly as much as Alfred, who was just in the early stage of his recovery.“Right now I feel pretty young and Im doing very well,”Anthony said. “I feel like a new person.”Alfred said his goal, of course, was to feel even better than his brother. But, he added, “I love my brother very much. Were very close and Im sure well do just fine.”68This article is mainly about .Athe danger of heart transplant surgery（外科手术）Bbecoming young by getting a new heartCthe effect of genetics on the heartDthe twin brothers who received heart transplants69What did Alfred and Anthony have in common?ALifespan（平均寿命）BCareer（事业）goals.CA sense of humor.DLove for bicycling.70What did Alfred and Anthony think caused their heart problems?AExercise.BDiet.CSurgery.DMedicines.71Why did Alfred say，“Im 15 minutes older than him, but now Im younger because of my heart”?AHis heart transplant surgery was more successful than AnthonysBHis recovery from the heart surgery was faster than AnthonysCHis exercise program was better than AnthonysDHis new heart was younger than Anthonys.EWherever you went in the large hall, people were talking about the same thing. The PT/ Wireless and Networks Comm China（2003年中国国际通信设备技术博览会）held in Beijing last week was the biggest telecom exhibition in Asia. There were 400 representatives（代表）from 21 countries. But everyone was speaking the language of technology and there was only one word on their lips-3G.Third-generation mobile phones, known as 3G, are the next big step for the telecom industry Data（数据）speeds in 3G networks are much quicker than present technology. This means users can have high-speed Internet access（进入）and enjoy video and CD-quality music on their phones.“Mobile data is not a dream; its not an option（选择）its a requirement,”said Len Lauer, head of US communications company Sprint PCS, at a 3G conference in Bangkok earlier this month.With 3G, you can forget about text messages telling you yesterdays news; a 3G phone can receive video news programs, updated（更新）four times a day. Internet access will also be much quicker, making it easier to surf（冲浪）the Web on your phone than on your computer at home.Face-to-face video callsAnd dont worry about getting lost. 3G phones offer map services so you can find a new restaurant just by pressing a few keys on your handset.However, the most impressive part of 3G technology is video calling. With live two-way video communication, you can have face-to-face talks with friends and family on your mobile phone.Many European countries have already launched（开办）the service. In May 2000 the UK Government awarded five licenses to run 3G wireless services, while the first 3G phones arrived in Italy in March this year.International telecom companies cant wait to sell 3G in China, the worlds largest mobile telecommunications
