They had assured their wives that they would be home in plenty of time for Friday nights dinner. In their rush, with tickets, one of these salesmen happened to kick over a table which held a display of baskets of apples. Apples flew everywhere. Without stopping or looking back, they all managed to reach the plane in time for their boarding.All but one stopped, took a deep breath and experienced a twinge（刺痛）of sorrow for the girl whose apple stand had been overturned. He told his friends to go on without him, waved goodbye, and told one of them to call his wife when they arrived and explain his taking a later flight. Then he returned to where the apple stand had been overturned. He was glad he did.The 16-year-old girl was totally blind! She was softly crying, tears running down her face. The salesman knelt on the floor with her, gathered up the apples, put them into the baskets, and helped set the display up once more. As he did this, he noticed that many of them had become damaged; then he set them aside in another basket. When he had finished, he pulled out his wallet and said to the girl, “Here, please take the $20 for the damage we did.” He continued, “Im sorry for what we did and hope we didnt spoil your day too badly.”She nodded with her tears. As the salesman started to walk away, the blind girl called out to him, “Mr. .”. He stopped, and turned back. She continued, “Thank you very much”.56.

On May 27, 1999, I was working on an automatic machine. While working my hand was pulled into themachine and my middle finger on my right hand was ripped off. I had surgery to replace what was left of the finger and now I have a finger that is almost as long as my index finger.Over the years I have been very blessed for a full and healthy life. Most of all, blessed for having my wife. We have grown together and grown in our faith. Life is going to go on with or without my finger. I was not going to let this take over my life and I pushed to go back to work and got light duty.This was where my lesson began. When I returned to work, I started getting comments and some teasing from people asking me if it was worth losing my finger over a pack of cigarettes. Someone started a rumor that I had dropped a pack of cigarettes and reached down to pick them up and that is how I lost my finger. This is not true. This rumor hurt more than losing my finger in that machine. Everyone was called in to a meeting to resolve this matter and get the story straight. I had to share my lesson.We can ruin a persons life by just a few bad words. There is an old saying that I will never forget: “Words and water are easily poured, but impossible to recover.” So please remember to watch what you say.60.

Since November 28th, 96 whales and dolphins have died in Australia and 53 whales died in New Zealand. Although 20 whales were saved, some of these were not expected to live, as they were too weak to swim with the others back to sea.Bob Brown, leader of Australias Green party, said the mass beaching was caused by the recent “sound bombing” of the ocean floor between the two countries. This is a method of testing for oil and gas reserves (储藏量).But mass beaching of whales has long puzzled scientists. Typically most members of the stranded (搁浅) group will appear to be perfectly healthy. “Some researchers believe that close relationship within the group causes the problem, if one gets into trouble, the others will not leave” said Shery Gibney, a leading biologist in New Zealand. “Some will come in and try and assist it; if they get trapped on the beach, then more will come.”Another common theory is that the whales navigation (导航) system are thought to break down in some way. It has been said that whales follow electromagnetic (电磁的) patterns in the sea-bed. The whales can get confused because these patterns sometimes change. That would be a bit like a new roundabout (环状交叉路) being built on a road you were used to driving on. You might be confused for a minute when you come to it for the first time, and you might even take a wrong turning before getting back on your route.A different idea is that when whales chase fish for food they end up in shallow waters because they are not paying attention to where they are going.And yet, from time to time a group will swim on purpose into shallow waters and end up on the beach, where they die. If returned to the sea, some whales often show great determination in restraining themselves.67. _ whales and dolphins would probably die in this mass beaching along the coast of Australia and New Zealand.A. Less than 100 B. Less than 150 C. More than 150 D. 14968. Which of the following can be used to explain the term “sound bombing”?A. The terrible sound that is caused in the war between two countries.B. Human activities that aim to explore the ocean floor.C. The loud sound that whales and dolphins make.D. The earthquakes that happen on the ocean floor.69. Which of the following couldnt probably lead to the mass beaching of whales?A. A change in the electromagnetic patterns that whales follow.B. New roundabout being built on a road.C. Their full attention to the search for food.D. Exploiting natural resources in oceans.70. The passage is mainly about _.A. that whales and dolphins may make mistakes as well as human beingsB. how scientists have found the reasons for the mass beaching of whalesC. how human beings make use of the ocean resourcesD. why the mass beaching of whales happensE根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow, orange, red? _71_. Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist（悲观主义者）. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colour preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings. _72_ . If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly._73_. A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. _74_ . A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides(自杀) than any other bridge in the area-until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply. Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue._75_. It
