Marlin Perkins’ keen interest in animals, especially snakes, brought him a lot of trouble when he was young. His landlady never excused him for keeping snakes in his closet. After two years of college, he left school and found a job in a zoo, sweeping the sidewalks for $3.50 a day. He was very happy about it because he could now watch animals and study them all day long. He soon became an official in charge of reptiles (爬行動物)and then director of the Buffalo Zoo.

Through his snake-hunting expeditions, Perkins won his fame as a snake expert. His love for snakes is such that he thinks of them in terms of (根據(jù)) personalities. However, snakes do not have the universal appeal as he wishes. Even Perkins’ most favorite animal Bushman, the 550-pound toughest African ape, was frightened by snakes. Bushman once escaped from his cage. Nothing could draw him back. Finally a keeper went to the reptile house, got three little snakes, and dangled (搖晃) them toward Bushman. The great ape nearly tore the place apart getting back to the safety of his cage.

Perkins likes all animals and takes more interest in them than many parents take in their own children. He keeps daily records on all the baby animals, takes their temperature and watches their diet strictly. Speaking about his success, Perkins sums up his philosophy of life as follows: “My life has taught me that the surest path to success is to find out what you most enjoy doing, then set out to do it.”

40.Perkins’ first zoo job was __________.

A. collecting snakes     B. sweeping sidewalks

C. looking after an ape   D. taking notes on animals

41.Bushman’s reaction (反映) suggests that ___________.

A. he was easy to be nervous   B. most people dislike animals

42.Perkins believes the best way to success is to __________.

A. do what you like most     B.work hard at it

C.do what people don’t like   D.be brave enough

43. According to the passage, Marlin Perkins entered his life work through ______.

A. help      B.chance        C.choice      D.necessity

44.A good title for the passage would be ________.

A.Lovely Snakes                B.A Good Expert

C.Marlin Perkins’ world          D.Human’s Friend---Animal

It is natural that children are curious about the world around them．For example, they want to know how their hearts beat．They want to know why the ocean water tastes salty．

  As children grow up, they become curious about different kinds of things．When they are babies, they are interested in the parts of their bodies and in the smiles of their mothers．They become interested in the physical world around them: the plants, the animals, the sky．Later, they become interested in the things that people have made: wheels, bicycles, cars．And when they are adults, their curiosity continues．Sometimes this curiosity leads to a career in science．

  Scientists spend their lives trying to find out about the world．Those who work with the earth sciences study the earth, the oceans, and the sky．Other scientists who study living things work with the biological sciences．A third group of scientists study the physical sciences, e．g．physics, chemistry ．

  These scientists have already discovered a lot about our world．For example, they tell us why your heart beats fast when you run．They say that when you are quiet, your heart normally beats 65 or 75 times a minute．Your heart is a pump that pumps blood to all parts of the body．The blood carries oxygen and nutrition．When you run, your muscles work very hard and use the nutrition that the blood carries to them．The muscles need oxygen, too．So your brain sends a signal to the heart．The signal means that the muscles need more nutrition and oxygen．Then the heart beats fast and sends blood quickly to the muscles．It may beat 90 to 140 times a minute．

  Of course, scientists cannot answer all of our questions．If we ask, “Why does the ocean water taste salty” scientists will say that the salt comes from rocks．When a rock gets very hot or very cold, it cracks．Rain falls into cracks．The rain then carries the salt into the earth and into the rivers．The rivers carry the salt into the ocean．But then we ask , “What happens to the salt in the ocean? The ocean does not get saltier every year．” Scientists are not sure about the answer to this question．

  We know a lot about our world, but there are still many answers that we do not have, and we are curious．

63．According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?

　   A．People are curious in the same way．

　   B．People in different countries are interested in different things．

　   C．People of different ages are interested in different things．　 

     D．Men and women are curious about different things．

64．Scientists who work with the biological sciences study____．

     A．the earth , the oceans and the sky       B．plants and animals

     C．man-made things                    D．ocean water

65．A rock cracks _____．

     A．in wet regions                       B．in dry regions

     C．when salty water falls in               D．a(chǎn)t very high or very low temperatures

66．People are always curious because _____ ．

       A．they know little about the world        B．they know nothing about the world

       C．they can not explain many things        D．they want to be scientists

There are two types of people in the world．Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life，one becomes happy；the other becomes unhappy．This arises from the different ways in which they consider things，persons，events and the resulting effects upon their minds．

People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things：the pleasant parts of conversation，the well prepared dishes，the goodness of the wine，and the fine weather．They enjoy all the cheerful things．Those．who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things．Therefore，they are continually dissatisfied．By their remarks，they sour the pleasure of society, offend（hurt）many people，and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation（仿效）．It grows into a habit， unknown to its possessors．The habit may be strong，but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes．I hope this little warning may be of service to them，and help them change this habit．

Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination，it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck．Those people offend many others；nobody loves them，and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect．If they bring on themselves public objections，no one will defend or excuse them，and many will join to criticize their wrong doings．These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing，without worrying needlessly about themselves and others．If they do not，it will be good for others to avoid any contact（聯(lián)系）with them．Otherwise，it car be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient，especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels．

61．People who are unhappy___________．

A．a(chǎn)lways consider things differently from others

B．usually are affected by the results of certain things

C．usually misunderstand what others thinks or say

D．a(chǎn)lways discover the unpleasant side of certain things“________________”.

A．have a good taste with social life           B．make others unhappy

C．tend to scold others openly                  

D．enjoy the pleasure of life

63．We can conclude from the passage that________．

A．we should pity all such unhappy people

B．such unhappy people are dangerous to social life

C．people call get rid of the habit of unhappiness

D．unhappy people can not understand happy persons

A．prevent any communication with them

B．show no respect and politeness to them

C．persuade them to recognize the bad effects
