Early in the morning, I was taken in a nylon bag into a truck. I felt horrible as well as 36 .

What would she do with me? She was almost made after the 37 of her husband.

A few minutes later, I heard the truck 38 its engine and move fast. I kept making sounds to show my protest, but failed to make any 39 .

Finally she put me down in a 40 place. Maybe she didn’t want me to die from lack of air; she untied the bag.

I 41 out and looked up, only to see many strange faces and fingers pointing at me.

It turned out that my owner meant to 42 me. I saw my owner on the truck, which was going farther and farther. So I cast my head 43 the direction of the truck: The days we spent together were like a movie playing in front of my eyes as I ran after the truck. I saw my male owner. Who suffered liver cancer, look at me with his sad eyes. I saw myself 44 my owner everywhere; I saw him lie in his dying bed, she all 45 .

I ran as fast as I could. And the 46 I saw her wave to me, my eyes became wet. I wouldn’t blame her for treating me like this for she was such a(n) 47 lady. She seemed even somewhat 48 at his leaving her alone, trying many ways to 49 the pain of losing him. She 50 his pictures and clothes, she redecorated the whole house. Now I was the only 51

thing to remind her of him. 52 later, I am pretty sure that she would realize how mad she was to do this…

The truck finally stopped when I was almost 53 . She ran up to me and hugged me 54 . I heard her 55 : “I know you are a present he left to me.”

A

The repairman told me, “No charge, Professor Pan! We’re friends.”“I’d rather pay,” I replied.”If it’s free, I can’t afford it!”

Chinese often refuse payment for professional services, insisting, “We’re friends now!” But then they show up later to ask me to tutor them in English, or get them into an American university, and I wish I’d have just paid the 30 yuan I owed them in the first place!

According to the Americans, “There’s no free lunch,” meaning that there’s a price for everything, and I’m always looking around to figure out what this means.

Many of our neighbours have given us fruit or flowers or costly teas, never asking anything in return.For years, a bicycle repairmanhas repeatedly refused to let me pay him.”Wait until you have something major to fix! ”he insists.

I mentioned to a peasant friend that I wished I had a stone mill to grind(磨)flour for bread.A month later he showed up with a beautiful mill that he’d had his uncle in the countryside carve from a solid block of granite(花岗石).

Chinese generosity(慷慨)is a real education for Americans like me, who would rather avoid social entanglements (纠纷) and just hand over the money.But cash can’t compensate(补偿)for the greatest gift--friendship.

When an American saw some of my friends sitting on bamboo stools under the trees, sipping(呷)tea, he said, “They must have nothing better to do.”“Actually, “I said, “they are professors, with plenty to do.But probably you’re right in saying that, at this moment, they have nothing better to do.And neither do I!”

And I joined the group.We chatted about tea and Chinese cooking and how much my boys have grown since we arrived.One man said, “They were pocket-sized when you came here.Now they’re taller than you.How time flies!”

How life flies.And Chinese are smart enough to share what they know they cannot keep.They freely give of their time, never too busy to help a friend.And they are teaching me, slowly, to both give and receive.So the next time someone says, “No charge.We’re friends! “ I will thank them heartily.But if they show up later asking me to tutor them in English, I’ll make sure they tutor my son in Chinese as well, because there’s still no free lunch.

56.Why did the author insist paying the repairman while he was offered free repairs?

A.Because he was an upright man.

B.Because he didn’t know the repairman.

C.Because he thought it natural to pay for others’ service.

D.Because he didn’t want to help others in return.

57.Generally, the author thinks that _________.

A.Chinese are generous and always ready to help their friends

B.Chinese are good at exchange of equal values

C.Chinese are free enough to drink tea and chat with their friends

D.Chinese are helpful but don’t treasure time

58.The best title for the passage should be “ “.

A.Still No Free Lunch B.A Good Lesson from Chinese

C.True Help or Not D.Learn to Both Give And Receive

59.Which of the following is TRUE?

A.All the Chinese that once gave the author help have asked him to tutor them in English.

B.When a peasant knew the author needed a mill, he made one for the author himself.

C.The author thinks that Chinese are wise enough to enjoy the limited life.

D.Finally, the author changed his mind and decided to do as the Chinese do.

B

Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive (欺骗)? When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can give you a false picture.

For example, some might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery (彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”

This guy’s a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought $200 worth of tickets, and only one was a winner. He’s really a big loser!

He didn’t say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.

Some politicians often use this trick. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents(对手) says, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” that’s true. However, and honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.”

Advertisers(广告商) will sometimes use half-truths. It’s against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might say, “Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache.” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.

This kind of deception happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.

60. How much did the lottery winner lose?

A. One hundred dollars. B. Two hundred dollars.

C. Three hundred dollars. D. Four hundred dollars.

61. We may infer that the author believes people should _______.

A. buy lottery tickets

B. make use of half-truths

C. not take anything at face value

D. not trust the Yucky Company

62. What do the underline words “net gain” in Paragraph 5 mean?

C. large share D. total saving

63. What can we know from the example of the Yucky Pill advertisement?

A. False statements are easy to see through.

B. Half-truths are often used to mislead people.

C. Doctors like to act in advertisements.

D. Advertisements are based on facts.

Engineering students are supposed to be examples of practicality and rationality (理性), but when it comes to my college education I am an idealist and a fool. In high school I wanted to be an electrical engineer and, of course, any reasonable student with my aims would have chosen a college with a large engineering department, many famous professors and lots of good labs and research equipment. But that’s not what I did.

I chose to study engineering at a small liberal-arts (文科) university that doesn’t even offer a major in electrical engineering. Obviously, this was not a practical choice; I came here for more noble reasons. I wanted a broad education that would provide me with flexibility (灵活) and a value system to guide me in my job. I wanted to open my eyes and expand my vision (眼界) by communicating with people who weren’t studying science or engineering. My parents, teachers and other adults praised me for such a wise choice. They told me I was wise and grown-up beyond my 18 years, and I believed them.

I headed off to the college and sure I was going to have an advantage over those students who went to big engineering “factories” where they didn’t care if you had values or were flexible. I was going to be a complete engineer: technical expert and excellent humanist all in one.

Now I’m not so sure. Somewhere along the way my noble ideas crashed into reality, as all noble ideas finally do. After three years of struggling to balance math, physics and engineering courses with liberal-arts courses, I have learned there are reasons why few engineering students try to reconcile (协调) engineering with liberal-arts courses in college.

The reality that has blocked my path to become the typical successful student is that engineering and the liberal arts simply don’t mix as easily as I supposed in high school. Individually they shape a person in very different ways. The struggle to reconcile the two fields of study is difficult.

68. Why did the author choose to study engineering at a small liberal-arts university?

A. He intended to become an engineer and humanist.

B. He intended to be a reasonable student with noble ideals.

C. He wanted to be an example of practicality and rationality.

D. He wanted to communicate with liberal-arts students.

69. According to the author, by communicating with people who study liberal arts, engineering students can ___________.

A. become noble idealists B. broaden their knowledge

C. find a better job in the future D. balance engineering and liberal arts

70. When the author says “Engineering students are supposed to be examples of practicality and rationality, but when it comes to my college education I am an idealist and a fool” at the beginning of the passage, he actually means ___________.

A. he has failed to achieve his ideal aims

B. he is not a practical and rational student

C. his choice of attending to a small liberal-arts university is reasonable

D. his idea of combining engineering with liberal - arts is noble and wise

71. The author suggests in this passage that ___________.

A. liberal-arts students are supported to take engineering courses

B. technical experts with a wide vision are expected in the society

C. successful engineering students are more welcomed in the society

D. engineering universities with liberal-arts courses are needed

E

An 18th-century statesman Edmund Burke once said, “All that is needed for the success of a misguided cause is that good people do nothing. “ One such cause now seeks to end biomedical research because of the theory that animals have rights to decide whether to be used in research. Scientists need to respond forcefully to animal rights advocates (鼓吹者) , whose arguments are puzzling the public and threatening advances in health knowledge and care. Leaders of the animal rights movement attack biomedical research because it depends on public funding, and few people understand the process of health care research. Hearing false reports of cruelty to animals in research settings, many are puzzled that anyone would harm an animal on purpose.

For example, a grandmotherly woman setting up an animal rights booth（摊位；展位） at a recent street fair was giving out sheets that encouraged readers not to use anything that comes from or is tested in animals——no meat, no fur, no medicines. Asked what will happen when epidemics (传染病) return, she said, “Don’t worry, scientists will find some way of using computers.” Such well-meaning people just don’t understand.

Scientists must communicate their message to the public in an understandable way——in human terms, not in the language of biology. We need to make clear the connection between animal research and a grandmother’s organ replacement, a father’s bypass operation, a baby’s vaccinations (接种疫苗), and even a pet’s shots. To those who know nothing about the animal research that was needed to produce these treatments, as well as new treatments and vaccines, animal research seems wasteful at best and cruel at worst.

Much can be done. Scientists could give middle school lessons and present their own research. They should be quick to respond to letters to the editor, in case animal rights misinformation goes unchallenged and gains a false appearance of truth. Research institutions could be opened to tours, to show that laboratory animals receive humane care. Finally, because there are a lot of patients, the health research community should actively admit to its cause not only well-known personalities such as Stephen Cooper, who has made courageous statements about the value of animal research, but all who receive medical treatment. If good people do nothing, there is a real possibility that uninformed citizens will wipe out the precious of medical progress.

72. The purpose of the author beginning his article with Edmund Burke’s words is to ___________.

A. call on scientists to take some actions

B. argue against the cause of animal rights

C. warn of the failure of biomedical research

D. show the success of the animal rights movement

73. In the eyes of the author, misguided people are likely to think that using an animal in research is ___________.

A. cruel but necessary　　　　　　　　 B. justice but unnecessary

C. meaningful and wasteful　　　　　　　 D. inhuman and unacceptable

74. What can be inferred from the passage?

A. People care very little about returns of epidemics.

B. The public lacks knowledge of biomedical science.

C. Stephen Cooper is very seriously concerned about animal treatment.

D. Scientists should make efforts to develop new cures by means of hi-tech.

75. The underlined word “threatening” in paragraph 1 means ___________.

A. doing a favor to　　　　　　　　　 B. drawing attention to

C. causing a danger to.　　　　　　　　 D. making their way to

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, 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. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. 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.

Though 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. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. 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 with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.
