Some people think that all wild animals are dangerous. Actually, very few of them will attack a man

Some people think that all wild animals are dangerous. Actually, very few of them will attack a man if he leaves them alone. If you met a lion or an elephant, suppose, you would run away, but even a lion will keep away from a man unless it is very hungry. Lions and tigers only kill and eat men when they have grown too old and too weak to catch their usual food, such as deer and other small animals. If you saw a wild elephant, perhaps you would be frightened. Elephants usually run away at once unless you attack them. Some animals get very frightened if they only smell a man; some take no notice at all but quietly walk in another direction. Wild animals only attack hunters when they are afraid that the hunters mean to harm their young ones, or then the hunters shoot at them and make them angry.

The fact that Martha, Mary, and Lazarus are remembered for their hospitality takes on added significance when we note that hospitality was a social requirement in their culture. It was considered24to turn anyone away from your door.25Martha’s family met this requirement very well.

Martha worried about details. She wishedto26, to serve, to do the right thing, but she often succeeded in making everyone around her uncomfortable. Perhaps as the oldest she feared shame if her home didn’t measure up to27. She tried to do everything she could tomake sure that wouldn’t happen. As a result, she found it hard to relax and enjoy her guests and even28to accept Mary’s lack of cooperation in all the preparations. Martha’s frustration (挫折感) was so intense that she finally asked Jesus to settle the matter. He gently corrected her attitude and told her that getting caught up in29can make us forget the main reasons for our actions. In fact, the personal attention she gave her guests should be more important than the30she tried to provide for them.

点击查看答案A few months ago, I had the responsibility of delivering some donations (捐赠物) to the local City M

A few months ago, I had the responsibility of delivering some donations (捐赠物) to the local City Mission, a place where the homeless, and often the injured can find shelter from a life that has been turned upside down for them.

It was late autumn, and already the promise of winter was whispering through the open windows of the Mission\'s storage area.

After setting the donations near the sorting table, I said goodbye to the worker, and headed back through the dining area towards the door.

I was careful not to notice the people sitting at the tables, choosing to leave before feeling the guilt (罪过) of my \" having\", in the midst of so many who have nothing.

But it was not to be.

\"Not yet,\" I heard a woman\'s voice say. \"Not till we pray (祈祷).\"

I was behind them when the mother bowed her head and began one of the most heartfelt prayers I have ever heard, and I stopped where I was to look over at the table.A young mother was there with her two young boys, one about three years old on her left, the other, about five, on her right. Both were waiting, heads bowed, eyes closed.

My heart broke as I watched and listened. She was in a leg cast (腿上打着石膏), and scars (伤疤) covered her arms, her face and head.

One of the younger ladies working at the Mission had come to stand beside me, and she whispered, \"She\'s a single mom; her husband just took off one day and didn\'t come back. She came here when their apartment caught fire. She was burned getting her kids out.\"

She started to say something else but stopped.

We were silent ... and the words this young mother said in our silence will always follow me, \"... and thanks for the fruit on the ground, when I just can\'t reach the tree.\"

54. By saying \"Not yet\", the woman probably wanted to______.

A. thank the author for sending the foodB. ask her children to pray before eating

C. blame those who have too muchD. pray for the happiness of her children

55. Why did the woman come to the City Mission?

A. Because her husband left her and her children.

B. Because she suffered from a serious disease.

C. Because her house caught fire suddenly.

D. Because she was out of work.

56. From the last paragraph, we can infer that the woman was ______.

A. happy to find the fallen fruit on the ground

B. regretful for not climbing the tree for the fruit

C. satisfied to pick up the fruit for her children

D. grateful very much for the help she received

点击查看答案Almost every day we come across situations in which we have to make decisions one way or another. Ch

Almost every day we come across situations in which we have to make decisions one way or another. Choice, we are given to believe, is a right. But for a good many people in the world in rich and poor countries, choice is a luxury, something wonderful but hard to get, not a right. And for those who think they are exercising their right to make choices, the whole system is merely an illusion, a false idea created by companies and advertiser, hoping to sell their products.

The endless choice gives birth to anxiety in people’s lives. Buying something as basic as a coffee pot is not exactly simple. Easy access to a wide range of everyday goods leads to a sense of powerlessness in many people, ending in the shopper giving up and walking away, or just buying an unsuitable item(商品) that is not really wanted. Recent studies in England have shown that many electrical goods bought in almost every family are not really needed. More difficult decision-making is then either avoided or trusted into the hands of the professionals, lifestyle instructors, or advisors.

It is not just the availability of the goods that is the problem, but the speed with which new types of products come on the market. Advances in design and production help quicken the process. Products also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time. The typical example is computers, which are almost out-of-date once they are bought. This indeed makes selection a problem. Gone are the days when one could just walk with ease into a shop and buy one thing; no choice, no anxiety.

小题1:What does the author try to argue in Paragraph 1?A．The exercise of rights is a luxury.B．The practice of choice is difficult.C．The right of choice is given but at a price.D．Choice and right exist at the same time.小题2:Why do more choices of goods give rise to anxiety?A．Professionals find it hard to decide on a suitable product.B．People are likely to find themselves overcome by business persuasion.C．Shoppers may find themselves lost in the broad range of items.D．Companies and advertisers are often misleading about the rage of choice.小题3:By using computers as an example, the author wants to prove that _______.A．advanced products meet the needs of peopleB．products of the latest design flood the marketC．competitions are fierce in high-tech industryD．everyday goods need to be replaced often小题4:What is this passage mainly about?A．The variety of choices in modern society.B．The opinions on people’s right in different countriesC．The Problems about the availability of everyday goods.D．The helplessness in purchasing decisions

Are the lives of city kids the same as those in villages? In lots of ways, they are very different. But what are those differences?

Hu Peng from Wuhan and four of his friends decided to find out. Earlier this month, they went to live for a week in Caidian, a village near Wuhan. Hu and his Junior l classmates went door to door in Caidian and asked kids lots of questions. They want to learn more about village kids\' everyday lives, so they asked questions like this: Do your parents teach you how to do the housework? How much money do you usually spend on dinner? What would you do if a thief came into your house? They also asked 150 city kids the same questions.

On April 12, the team gave a report to their class. They told about many differences between children\'s lives in cities and those of children in villages. The biggest difference is about independence. Hu\'s team found that 60 percent of city kids can\'t do much housework, but 90 percent of village kids can care for themselves.

City kids told Hu they care about schoolwork a lot, and they have no time for washing clothes or making their beds. Village kids said they help their parents a lot : cooking, cleaning the houses and feeding pigs. Hu\'s teamalso found that village kids have less pocket money. Many have never used computers. They like playing in rivers or on mountains. Some don\'t even like to make new friends.

Hu and his friends said their trip gave them more self- confidence (自信) because they have done something by themselves. Butitalso worried them a bit because they found they still have a lot to learn. \"When we grow up, our parents can\'t take care of us,\" Hu said. \"We have to learn to take care of ourselves. \"Shen Guanquan, one of Hu\'s friends said, \"When people learn to care for themselves, they learn to do lots of difficult things. \"

Do you ever run out of great books to read? So what should I read next? Is fast-paced crime fiction your thing?

Try the new Patricia Cornwell book,Scarpetta（Putnam）. She is such an able writer and handles complex forensic（法庭的） intelligence with ease. You need to be prepared, though, for the world you\'re entering—this isn\'t for the faint of heart, let\'s say.

If peace is more your thing, try Mary Pipher\'s wonderful new book,Seeking Peace:Chronicles of the Worst Buddhist in the World （Riverhead）. Mary is a lovely, comfortable writer who takes the reader through her personal awakening after reputation and fortune came her way. Even if you\'ve never experienced life as a bestselling writer （as she has done, in her book years back,Reviving Ophelia）, you\'ll totally understand and sympathize with her renewed need for privacy, distance and quiet.

What if you want a straightforward, totally thrilling read with vivid characters, set about World War II? You cannot go wrong with Jim Lehrer\'s new novel,Oh, Johnny（Random House）, about a young Marine whose life is changed forever when he meets a woman on his way to war. His relationship with her lasts him through danger and hardship, and there\'s an impressive ending. See our interview with the productive novelist/newsman in the current issue of Reader\'s Digest （March, on stands now）, by the way, for insight into the very talented Mr. Lehrer and what interests him.

Well, what about something wickedly funny and totally offbeat? Does the name Carrie Fisher do anything for you? Try her vivid and new life in Hollywood and elsewhere,Wishful Drinking（Simon Schuster）. Be prepared for humor as sharp as knives.

点击查看答案Certainly people make you feel comfortable when they are around. You spend an hour with them and fee

Certainly people make you feel comfortable when they are around. You spend an hour with them and feel as if you’ve known them half your life. These people have something in common. And once we know what it is, we can try to do it ourselves.

How is it done? Here are several skills (技巧) that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, they will help you put people at ease, and make friends with them quickly.

First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy they are, will answer a question. One well-known businessman says. “At business lunches, I always ask people what they did this morning. It’s a common question, but it will get things going.” From there you can move on to other matters sometimes to really personal questions. And how they answer will let you know how far you can go.

Second, once good talkers have asked questions they listen for the answer. This point seems clear, but it isn’t. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen carefully and attentively (专心地).

Real listening means certain things. First it means not to change the subject of conversation (对话). If someone sticks to (坚持) one topic (话题), you can take it as a fact that he’ll be really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones (语调) of voice. If the voice sounds dull, then, it’s time for you to change the subject.

Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the occasion (场合) of parting. If you’re saying goodbye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, “I’ve really enjoyed meeting you.” If you want to see that person again, don’t keep it secret. Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if they’ve known you half their life.

64. You’ll like to stay with certain people because ________.

A. they know how to get along with others

B. you can often get much help from them

C. they are always glad to do anything for you

D. they will never get you into trouble

65. Asking questions might be quite a good way ________.

A. for you to make more and more new friends

B. to begin your business talks

C. to get the conversation going well

D. for you to make a deep and lasting impression (印象) on others

66. After having asked somebody a question, it’ll be polite of you to ________.

A. make clear what kink of person he is

B. listen to his answer attentively

C. wait quietly and patiently for his answer

D. talk with others

67. Generally speaking, good talkers are persons who ________.

A. are good at making any topic interesting

B. never talk too much or too little

C. always speak in a gentle way

D. know how and when they should change the topic of the talk
