Children know this very well. Fred Epstein, in his book I Make It to Five, tells a story he heard from one of his friends about Tom, a four-year-old boy with a cancer in his back bone. He came through several operations and a lot of pain by mastering his imagination. Tom loved to pretend, and he particularly loved to play superheroes. Dr. Epstein explained that it was actually a brilliant way for his young mind to handle the terrifying and painful life he led. The day before his third trip to the operating room, Tom was terribly afraid. “ Maybe I could go as Superman,” he whispered to his mom. Hearing this, the mother hesitated for a while. She has avoided buying the expensive costume(戏装), but finally she agreed. The next day Tom appeared as the powerful Superman, showing off through the hospital halls and coolly waving his hand to the people greeting him along the way. And Tom, with the strength of his fantasy, successfully made it through the operation. The power of imagination need not be reserved for children only. We all have the power to use our fantasies to attempt things we never thought possible, to go through those things that seem impossible, and to achieve what we never believed we could. Just as Dr. Epstein puts it, “If you can dream it, you can do it.” It doesnt mean that you should dress as a superhero for your next job interview. But, next time you are tested in a way that seems impossible, imagine what it would take to overcome it. Become the person you need to become to win over your challenge and do it in your mind first. So, let your imagination run wild, and dare to dream. 41. What do we know about Tom? A. He was seriously ill. B. He was a dishonest boy. C. He was crazy about magic. D. He was Dr. Epsteins patient. 42. What can be inferred about Toms mother? A. She was a rich lady. B. She refused Toms request. C. She wanted Tom to be a superhero. D. She wanted to get Tom through the pain. 43. When Tom went for the third operation, he_. A. pretended to be painful B. acted like a superhero C. appeared in poor spirits D. argued with his mother 44. In the last paragraph, you are advised_. A. to go through some difficult tests B. to wake up from your wild dreams C. to become a powerful person in your mind D.to wear expensive clothes for job interviews 45. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To tell us an interesting story. B. To help us make right decisions. C. To advise us to care about children. D. To encourage us to use our imagination.

It is just the opposite. Listening well is an active exercise of our attention and hard work. It is because they do not realize this, or because they are not willing to do the work, that most people do not listen well. Listening well also requires total concentration upon someone else. An essential part of listening well is the rule known as bracketing. Bracketing includes the temporary giving up or setting aside of your own prejudices and desires, to experience as far as possible someone elses world from the inside, stepping into his or her shoes. Moreover, since listening well involves bracketing, it also involves a temporary acceptance of the other person. Sensing this acceptance, the speaker will seem quite willing to open up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener. True communication is under way and the energy required for listening well is so great that it can be accomplished only by the will to extend oneself for mutual growth. Most of the time we lack this energy. Even though we may feel in our business dealings or social relationships that we are listening well, what we are usually doing is listening selectively. Often we have a prepared list in mind and wonder, as we listen, how we can achieve certain desired results to get the conversation over as quickly as possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us. Many of us are far more interested in talking than in listening, or we simply refuse to listen to what we dont want to hear. It wasnt until toward the end of my doctor career that I have found the knowledge that one is being truly listened to is frequently therapeutic(有疗 效的). In about a quarter of the patients I saw, surprising improvement was shown during the first few months of psychotherapy(心理疗法), before any of the roots of problems had been uncovered or explained. There are several reasons for this phenomenon, but chief among them, I believe, was the patients sense that he or she was being truly listened to, often for the first time in years, and for some, perhaps for the first time ever. 50. The phrase “stepping into his or her shoes” in paragraph 2 probably means _. A. preparing a topic list firstB. focusing on ones own mind C. directing the talk to the desired resultsD. experiencing the speakers inside world 51. What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2? A. How to listen well. B. What to listen to. C. Benefits of listening. D. Problems in listening 52. According to the author , in communication people tend to _. A. listen actively B. listen purposefully C. set aside their prejudices D. open up their inner mind 53. According to the author , the patients improved mainly because _. A. they were taken good care of. B. they knew they were truly listened to. C. they had partners to talk to. D. they knew the roots of problems. 54. What type of writing is the article likely to be ? A. Science fiction B. A news report C. A medical report. D. Popular science D Living in South Africa, I had always taken the wildlife pretty much for granted. Not to say that we were surrounded by it, but the accessibility of game parks and wildlife sanctuaries（避难所） always made it seem like a natural part of the environment. For this reason, I suppose that the way my European friends used to talk to me, wasnt so strange after all. They would ask me what I thought at the time were really silly questions which got on my nerves. Theyd say things like Do you have a pet baboon(狒 狒)? or Do you travel to school by elephant?. When Amanda, a friend of mine who was visiting from England, invited me to join her and a group of friends on a wildlife expedition, I was not filled with enthusiasm. However, from the moment we entered the gates of the Zaluzi game reserve, I knew that this was not going to be anything like I had expected. We had been traveling along the National Road when, suddenly, we turned onto a dirt track which seemed to be hidden in the middle of nowhere. Amazingly, the scenery changed dramatically. The civilized environment took on a wild, chaotic（混沌的；一片混乱的） aspect and continued to do so as we walked deeper into the bush. After having a good nights sleep at one of the reserves bungalows, we were woken at the crack of dawn. After a quick breakfast we piled into a jeep and set off. Our guide assured us that the early start was necessary in order to have the best chance of seeing what was really worthwhile. Armed with just a thermos of coffee, we set out towards the shore of a small lake where it was expected that we could see that animals that used it as their morning watering hole. On the way to our destination, we topped a hill and there, against the emerging morning light, were a group of animals. It was a stunning sight. As we moved closer, the animals did not appear to be alarmed by our presence. Pet baboons aside, I had never before come within such close range of a pride of lions. It did cross my mind, however, that we might be in a certain amount of danger. When I asked Timothy, our game ranger, if we were actually in any danger, he replied straightforwardly that one is never entirely safe in the bush, but his knowledge and experience allowed him to anticipate any danger with reasonable accuracy. However, the following day there was some cause for alarm. Not having started out so early, we missed the sightings of the day before. We decided to drive around for a while, hoping to come across something of interest. Suddenly our tracker perched up on the back of our vehicle, signaled to the driver to halt and at the same moment I realized that this time we had stumbled right into a pride of lions. The driver promptly turned off the engine and in a low voice warned us to remain seated and not to make any abrupt movements. The lions were picking at what looked like the remains of a zebra. Timothy, later told us how much to our advantage this was. Had their bellies not been full, their reaction to us would surely have been otherwise. As the nearest lion was less than three meters away from the jeep, I considered that we had been very lucky indeed. All in all, it was a wonderful trip. Our near miss with the lions was without a doubt the highlight, but what it taught me yet again was how easy it is to be indifferent to our surroundings and not to have a full appreciation of the beauty around us. 55. How did the writer feel about the questions her European friends asked? A. ridiculous B. annoyed C. strange D. embarrassed 56. When did the writers attitude change about the expedition? A. When she was traveling along the dirt track. B. When she received her invitation. C. When she arrived at the game reserve. D. When her friend arrived from England. 57. What does the underlined word It (in the fourth paragraph) refer to? A. the pride of lions B. the destination C. the top of the hill D. the morning light 58. Timothys experience as a game ranger was valuable because he _ A. could supply a straightforward answer to any question. B. knew how to frighten the animals. C. knew the game reserve well. D. could identify trouble in advance. 59. What does the writer mean by the underlined sentence we had been very lucky indeed in the fifth paragraph? A. They had seen the lions up close. B. They hadnt been attacked. C. They had a good guide with them. D. They had gone on a trip. 60. What conclusion does the writer of the text come to? A. We often do not realize how attractive our environment really is. B. It is not clever to unnecessarily put ourselves in dangerous situations. C. We dont respect wild animals enough. D. We should pr
