Love cures people—both the ones who give it and the ones who receive it.
——Dr. Karl Menninger
I was being interviewed by a senior manager for a major insurance company. I told him   41  that the main reason why I was  42  with them was my need to keep my family in Boston. My wife of 26 years old had recently died of a heart attack . A(n)   43  in Boston would also help me reduce some of the pain of the loss. Bruce ,the interviewer ,was politely sympathetic, and didn’t probe(探查) any  44  .He acknowledged my loss and ,with great respect ,moved on to another  45 .
After the next  46  of interview , Bruce took me to lunch with another manager .Then he asked me to take a  47  with him. He told me that he ,  48 , had lost his wife .And he had also been married 20 years and had three children. In his sharing, I realized that he had  49  the same pain  50  I had , a pain that was almost 51  to explain to someone who had not  52  a loved  53 . He offered his business card and home phone number and  54  that, if I needed help or just wanted someone to  55 , I should feel  56  to give him a call. No matter whether I got the job or not, he wanted me to know that he was there if I  57  needed any help.
From that one act of kindness, when he had no idea  58  we would see each other again, he helped me  59  one of life’s greatest losses. He turned the normally  60  business interview process into an act of caring and support for another person in a time of need.

Thomas Edison was one of ten said to be the greatest genius of his age. There are only a few men in all of the history, who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric light. But Edison could never be happy only because someone said he was a genius.“ There is no such thing as genius,” Edison said. He said that what people called genius was mostly hard work.
But Edison was a dreamer as well as a worker. From his earliest days as a child he wondered about the secrets of nature. Nature, he often said, is full of secrets. He tried to understand them; then, he tried to learn what could usefully be done with them.
Edison enjoyed thinking. He knew that most people will do almost anything instead of the difficult work of thinking, especially if they do not think very often. But he knew, too, that thinking can give men enjoyment and pleasure.
Edison could not understand how anyone could be uninterested in life. As he loved to think, he also loved to work. On the day he became 75 years old, someone asked him what ideas he had about life. “ Work,” he answered. “Discovering the secrets of nature and using them to make men happier.” He said he had enough inventions in his mind to give him another 100 years of work.
小題1: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A．Edison invented the electric light.
B．Many other people have changed Edison’s life.
C．Edison has changed the life of many other people.
D．Few men in history can change other people’s life.
小題2: Edison thought              .
A．he could be happy if he was a genius
B．genius plays the most important part in one’s success
C．hard work could do better than genius
D．genius could do better than hard work
小題3: Edison was              .
A．very much interested in nature
B．interested in discovering the secrets of nature
C．interested in changing people’s ideas
D．uninterested in making people happier by discovering the secrets of nature
小題4:In Edison’s opinion,            .
A．thinking can supply people with enjoyment and pleasure as well as help
B．people’s success lies mostly in genius
C．hard work is the second important thing in making people successful
D．there are few secrets for him to discover later

                                                                                              Dec. 24, 1848
Dear Johnston,
Your request for eighty dollars, I do not think it best to satisfy now. At the various times when I have helped you a little, you have said to me, “We can get along very well again,” but in a very short time I find you in the same difficulty again. Now this can only happen by some fault in your behavior. What that fault is, I think I know. You are not lazy, and still you are an idler(游手好閑). I doubt whether since I saw you, you have done a good whole day’s work, in any other day. You do not very much dislike to work, and still you do not work much, merely because it does not seem to you that you could get much for it.
This habit of uselessly wasting time is the whole difficulty; it is vastly important to you, and still more so to your children, that you should break this habit. It is more important to them, because they have longer to live, and can keep out of an idle habit before they are in it, easier than they can get out after they are in.
You are now in need of some ready money; and what I suggest is, that you shall go to work hard, for somebody who will give you money for it.
Let father and your boys take charge of your things at home-prepare for a crop, and make the crop, and you go to work for the best money wages, or to pay back any debt you owe. And to secure you a fair reward for your labor, I now promise you that for every dollar you will, between this and the first of May, get for your own labor, I will then give you one other dollar. By this, if you hire yourself at ten dollars a month, from me you will get ten more, making twenty dollars a month for your work.
Now if you will do this, you will soon be out of debt, and what is better, you will have a habit that will keep you from getting in debt again. But if I should now clear you out, next year you will be just as deep in as ever. You say you would almost give your place in Heaven for $ 70 or $80. Then you value your place in Heaven cheaply, for I am sure you can with the offer I make you get the seventy or eighty dollars for four or five months’ work. You say if I furnish you the money you will deed(抵押) me the land, and if you don’t pay the money back, you will deliver possession-Nonsense! If you can’t now live with the land, how will you then live without it? You have always been kind to me, and I do not now mean to be unkind to you. On the contrary, if you will but follow my advice, you will find it worth more than eight time eighty dollars to you.
Affectionately
Your brother
A. Lincoln
小題1:Abraham Lincoln wrote the letter to Johnston mainly to ________.
A．show his concern for himB．recommend him to save money
C．decline his request and motivate himD．introduce him a new job
小題2:What’s the problem with Johnston, according to Lincoln?

小題3:In the letter Lincoln suggested that Johnston should ________.
A．keep himself from getting into troubleB．go to work hard for somebody
C．manage well the things at home D．keep the children out of the idle habit
小題4:If Johnston got one dollar for his work, Lincoln promised to _________.
A．reward him with laborB．pay off his debt
C．hire him at 10 dollars a month D．give him another dollar

One day while walking along the bank of a river, a rabbit couple(夫婦) saw a wounded(受傷的) ant lying unconsciously(沒有直覺地) on the grass. The rabbit couple gently put the ant on the leaf(葉子) of a nearby plant. She soon recovered and saw the rabbit couple sitting beside her.
The ant remembered that she had found herself under the foot of a cat by chance and fainted(暈倒). She asked how she reached the leaf top. The rabbit couple told her what had happened. The ant thanked them and said she would help them when they needed help.
The rabbit couple went further up the river to enjoy the bright sun. They had been there many times and would spend many hours playing and relaxing in the sun.
One fine day, the couple were again on their way to the river while the ant was playing on the leaf of a tree. She saw the rabbit couple walking towards the river. A few hours later she saw the rabbit couple sleeping peacefully on the soft grass by the river. Suddenly she saw a lion moving towards the grass where the rabbit couple were sleeping. The loin saw the rabbit sleeping, and started walking quietly to attack them.
Realizing the hazard getting close to the rabbits, the ant jumped from the leaf to the lion’s shoulder and bit(咬) the lion’s back. The lion cried out in pain, waking the rabbit couple. The rabbits ran away quickly and the ant jumped off the lion’s back into the grass.

Charlie Chaplin was born on April 16, 1889 in London. Both his father and mother were entertainers and although not of big names, they were doing very well. While the family was by no means rich, the music hall provided the Chaplins with a comfortable living. Unfortunately happy life didn’t last long. Father’s alcoholism was slowly, but surely destroying his marriage. Finally it ended in divorce. His mother managed to keep Charlie and his brother Syney clean and warm, clothed and fed. She would sit at the window watching the passers-by and guess at their characters from the way they looked and behaved, making up tales to delight Charlie and Syney. Charlie took in her skills and went on using them all his life.
Charlie had always believed, even in the worst times, that he had something special locked away inside him. He took his courage and went to one of the top theater agents. With no experience at all, he was offered a plum part (意外得到的好角色) in a new production of “Sherlock Holmes”, which opened on July 27, 1903 at the famous “Pavilion Theatre”. Charlie seemed to change overnight. It was as if he had found the thing he was meant to do. By 1910, Charlie had become “one of the best pantomime (啞劇) artists ever seen ”.
Cinema was born in the same year as Charlie thought people still believed it was a passing fashion, and would never replace live shows. But after using several weeks to watch and to learn, he was determined to master this new medium. It offered him the chance of money and success—and it would set him free from the unpredictability of live audience.
Charlie’s first film, released in February 1914, was called “Making a living”. After that he made another ten. The public loved him and producers were demanding more and more Chaplin films. In an incredibly short time, Charlie had become a very important man in motion picture.
小題1:Which of the following is NOT true about Charlie Chaplin?
A．Mother had much influence on Charlie Chaplin’s career.
B．“Sherlock Holmes” made Charlie rise to fame overnight.
C．Charlie had been famous when the cinema became a fashion.
D．Charlie’s work in both the theater and the cinema was welcomed.
小題2:What can you infer from the passage?
A．Charlie Chaplin’s belief in his potential led to his success.
B．Charlie Chaplin got his first role in a film at 14.
C．Cinema was a form of art showing live performance.
D．Motion picture was a passing fashion lasting a short time.
小題3:The underlined word “unpredictability” in Paragraph 3 means____________.
A．low spiritsB．opposing attitude
C．successful performanceD．changing state
小題4:What is the passage mainly about?
A．Charlie Chaplin made the cinema industry popular.
B．Charlie Chaplin’s early success in his career.
C．Charlie Chaplin was a best pantomime artist.
D．Charlie Chaplin’s determination to do what he liked.
