In order to earn a little money he had written the story of his life, but not many copies of the book had been sold in the shop, and Savage was living from hand to mouth. As a result of his lack of food he became very ill, but after a time, because of the skill of the doctor who had looked after him, he got well again. After a week or two the doctor sent a bill to Savage for his visits, but poor savage hadnt any money and couldnt pay it. The doctor waited for another month and sent the bill again.

In a recent Hollywood comedy, that is exactly what happens.Dave Kovic, played by Kevin Kline, is a kind-hearted man who runs a business that finds people jobs. He leads a typical American way of life, except for one thinghe looks exactly like the President, Bill Mitchell. In fact, the only thing that makes him different from the nations leader is that he is very nice!The president has started using look-alikes during some public appearances. Dave is offered a chance to “serve his country” by becoming one. However, things go wrong. The President becomes very ill and Dave ends up acting as the President forever.Director Ivan Reitman, who made the popular and successful comedies like Twins, Ghostbusters and Legal Eagles, could have gone for easy laughs by making fun of the American government. Instead, Dave is an attractive comedy about an ordinary man in extraordinary situations. Kevin Kline gives a double performance as Dave and the President, and Sigourney Weaver is at her best as his First Lady. The love story that develops between her role and Dave is a real classic.The film is 100% American. However, if youve ever felt that anybody could do a better job running the country than the people in power, then youll enjoy Dave!69What is the purpose of the text?ATo tell the reader about the American government.BTo discuss the Americans ideas about the President.CTo make a comparison between Dave and other films.DTo introduce a new film to the reader.70Who plays the role of the President in the film?ASigourney Weaver.

But forgiveness is possible - and it can be surprisingly helpful to your physical and mental health. Indeed, research has shown that people who forgive report more energy, better appetite (胃口) and better sleep patterns. People who forgive show less anger and more hopefulness, says Dr. Frederic Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good. So it can help save on the wear and tear on .our system and allow people to feel more energetic.So when someone has hurt you, calm yourself first. Take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love. Dont wait for an apology. Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing, says Dr. Luskin. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just dont see things the same way. So if you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting a very long time. Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean accepting the action of the person who upset you. Mentally going over your hurt gives power to the person who brought you pain. Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. Finally, try to see things from the other persons perspective (视角). You may realize that he or she-was acting out of ignorance (无知) , fear - even love. To gain perspective, you may want to write a letter to yourself from that persons point of view.73. The text is mainly written to explain _. A. how to keep yourself from being hurtB. how to stay mentally healthyC. how and when to remain calmD. why and how to pardon others 74. According to the writer, what is the right way to calm down after being hurt? A. Try to figure out why you get hurt.B. Write a letter to the person who hurt you.C. Persuade yourself to accept what others have done to you.D. Think about pleasant things and forget about the hurt.75. Dr. Luskin advises us not to wait for an apology after being hurt because _. A. we are not patient enough B. we d feel worse accepting others apology C. people seldom want to apologize D. people don t mean it when they apologizeESince we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends greatly on our interpersonal ties(人际关系). One strength of the human condition is our possibility to give and receive support from one another under stressful ( 有压力的 ) conditions .Social support makes up of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties. Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to deal with major life changes and daily problems. People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over types of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, show that the presence of social support helps people defend themselves against illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives and co-workers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others in spite of our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informational support .They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionship supportive. Taking part in free-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting ( 转移注意力 ) us from our worries and troubles . Finally, other people may give us instrumental support money aid, material resources, and
