I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register, I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas. I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friends .We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card. I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful. Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that Id left the lights on all day, and the battery was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership - a shop selling cars - was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?” I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment, so when I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you, and it meant a lot, he said. “Thank you” - two powerful words. Theyre easy to say and mean so much.36.

Lets have a look.People wear pants to cover the lower part of their bodies. We sometimes say that people who are nervous have ants in their pants. Sometimes, people may get caught with their pants down. They are found doing something they should not be doing. And, in every family, one person takes control. Sometimes a wife tells her husband what to do. Then we say she wears the pants in the family. Pants usually have pockets to hold things. Money that is likely to be spent quickly can burn a hole in your pocket. Sometimes you need a belt to hold up your pants. If you have less money than usual, you may have to tighten your belt.I always praise people who can save their money and not spend too much. I really take my hat off to them. Yet, when it comes to my own money, I spend it at the drop of a hat, which means I instantly spend it.Boots are heavy or strong shoes. People who are too big for their boots think they are more important than they really are. I dislike such people.My father is an important person. He runs a big company. He wears a suit and tie, and a shirt with sleeves that cover his arms. Some people who do not know him well think he is too serious and never shows his feelings openly. But I know that my father wears his heart on his sleeve.46. What is the passage mainly about? A. What pants mean in English. B. Some special English expressions. C. Some funny English expressions. D.

So, for a long time, I just wrote short articles. One day, inspiration for an article hit me and, as I started writing, paragraphs began flowing out fast. It turned out to be too long to be an article. I thought it would not hurt to try self-publishing a booklet. The first printing of the 32-page black and white booklet sold out within a week. Here is something that I have learned though my experience.1. Start small. Dont try to have a 400-page work as your first publication. I suggest you publish a booklet under 50 pages to launch your career as an author.2. Ask for advice. If you know some people who have published something, ask them for advice and help. You will gain useful information from them and save yourself many problems.3._ When you put your heart into something only to hear “Were not interested”, you may get hurt. But you must remind yourself that this is quite common. Every “yes” you receive comes after at least five “noes”, especially at the beginning. You need to revise(校订) your book many times to reduce the chances of being turned down.4. The more you market, the more you sell. You can publish an excellent book. But if no people know about it, you cannot expect many buyers. Send out an e-mail to friends, family and business partners, telling them your books publication date. Ask them to help sell your book. Do not be afraid to try novel ideas.51. We learned that before self-publishing his first booklet, the writer most probably _. A. hoped that he would write some famous long stories B. had nothing published in newspapers C. was not happy with what he had written D. thought it difficult to finish a long book52. What does the underlined word “launch” Point1 mean? A. Begin. B. Develop. C. Lead. D. Describe.53. Whats the best title for Point 3? A. No one will like what you wrote at first. B. You will get hurt by what you wrote at first. C. Prepare for a “yes” rather than a “no”. D. Be prepared to deal with “noes”.54. According to the passage, if you want to have more copies of your book sold, you should_. A. advertise you book in newspapers B. try to make more people know your book C. ask your business partners to buy your book D. write something that people are interested in55.

A. one usually makes no money out of self-publishing a book B. one should never self-publish a book longer than 400 pages C. self-publishing a book impossible for most people D. asking adv
