    试题分析：作者一开始对于街头艺人的行乞不屑一顾，但是当作者看到这位街头艺人是在为地震灾区募捐的那一刻，改变了一个自负的“我”。
    小题1:A 上下文串联。由下文可知，作者上街去买东西吃去了，所以应是离开办公室。
    小题2: C上下文串联。在路上，作者看见了一个街头艺人。lead “带领”； choose“选择”；fool“愚弄”，从上下文中均没有信息提示。
    小题3:B 上下文串联。由下文可知作者口袋里装的应该是钱，但是他不会给这位街头艺人。
    小题4:B 副词辨析。由语境可知作者不愿意把钱给这名街头艺人，他认为艺人只会拿这些钱去过毒瘾或酒瘾。only“只，仅”符合语境。almost“几乎，差不多”， rather “相当”，still“仍然，仍旧；更”均不符合语境。
    小题5:B 上下文串联。下面的young and ragged都是外表，应该用look like “看起来像”。
    小题6:D上下文串联。由下文可知作者不想把钱给这个艺人，但又不知怎么花才好，所以应用表示转折的连词but。though 表让步，for表原因，therefore表结果。
    小题7:B 动词辨析。这里是作者的心理活动，接着作者意识到不能因为对方是个街头艺人就凌驾于他之上。realize“意识到”符合语境。declare“宣布”，expect“期望”，guess“猜想”。
    小题8:C 上下文串联。him指的是那个艺人。
    小题9:C 上下文串联。由下文可知作者进行了思想斗争之后，应该是停下来把钱放进……。文章中并没有提到捐钱的人很多，所以不用等待，也不用跟在别人后面，就在街上，也不用到达。
    小题10:B 上下文串联。由上文可知艺人前面放了一顶帽子，是供观众往里投钱用的。
    小题11:A 形容词辨析。文章开头作者就提到他活得很自私，所以这儿他出了钱，就想着有所回报。awkward “笨拙的，局促的”，innocent“无辜的，清白的”，special“特别的；专门的”。
    小题12:A 名词辨析。作者投钱之后期待的是一种快乐和满足感。happiness幸福，满足；sadness悲哀；     love爱；hate憎恶。
    小题13:A 上下文串联。但是作者并没有得到那种感觉，所以作者应是失望地走开了。unfortunately“不幸地”，coincidentally“碰巧，巧合”，comfortably“舒适地”。
    小题14:D上下文串联。作者投了钱，但并没有获得快乐和满足，所以作者认为“这证明是浪费钱”。words“话语”，effort“努力”，space“空间”。
    小题15:B 上下文串联。上一段提到作者失望地走了，又由on my way home可知下面的一幕发生在作者下午下班回家的路上，时间应是天快要黑的时候，所以应选B项。moment“时刻”，break“暂停，休息”，event“事件”。
    小题16:C动词短语辨析。因为天快要黑了，所以当作者再次看到那个艺人的时候，他正在装箱打包准备离开。pack up “装箱打包”，符合语境。walk around“四处走动”， passing by“经过”，run off“排出，流出”。
    小题17:D上下文串联。后面的宾语是a cafe counter(一家餐馆的柜台)，walk to “朝……走去”，所以应选D，。
    小题18:D 。在这家餐馆的柜台前，他把挣到的所有的钱都倒进……total “全体的，总计的”，符合语境，chief “主要的，首要的”，basic“基本的”，actual“实际的，现实的”。
    小题19:B 介词辨析。for在这里表目标或用途，意为为地震募捐资金的募捐箱。
    小题20:B 名词辨析。作者由于受到这个艺人的大公无私，乐于奉献的精神的感染，应该是把身上所有的零钱都投进募捐箱。

    Many cancer patients are finding new hope in an unusual approach to cancer treatment. The common method has been developed by Carl Simonton, a specialist in the science of tumors.  1 can sometimes be "truly amazing," he says, when a cancer   2  lets his mind take part in the treatment.
    Simonton remembers that his first patient might have been thought to be a "  3 ” case by some. "He was a sixty-one-year-old man with very severe throat cancer.  He had lost a great deal of weight. He could  4 swallow his own saliva and could eat no food.
    "I taught him to  5  and mentally see his disease," Simonton says. "Then I had him  6  an army of white blood cells coming, attacking and  7 the cancer cells. The results of the treatment were both exciting and frightening. Within two weeks his cancer had noticeably become smaller and he was quickly gaining weight. I say it was '  8 ' because I had never seen such a change. I wasn't sure what was going on. I also didn't know what I would do if things went wrong. But  9 didn't go wrong.
    "We may believe that we have the power in our own bodies to fight cancer as well as the power to   10  the disease in the first place.  With those patients who are willing to stay with us and try, we always find that the cancer has filled some emotional need."

    A culture’s values can be mirrored by its humor. Humor has been evaluated by many great minds such as Thomas Hobbes, who, in “On Nature”, disliked humor, “Laughter is nothing else but sudden glory arising from sudden thought of feeling far better than others.” He thought humor to be a negative quality of human narrow-mindedness.
    However, Mordechai Gordon, Ph. D of Education, insists, “Humor allows us to view the world from an angle that is amusing rather than serious.” I agree with Gordon. Learning to look at the world through humor is important.
    In the United States, every four years an election occurs. Without humor as a way to express their feelings, how else would Americans keep from clawing their eyes out and going the way of lemming? Television shows like “The Daily Show” have become important parts of American culture. They are mothering the masses by metaphorically(隐喻地) airplane-ing politics into our mouths. They make politics fun.
    Of course, politics is only one type of humor. Social humor helps people through the twists and turns of the human condition. American pop culture promotes an unhealthy self- image. On the topic of self-image, Hari Kondabolu stands out. He has a joke about the popular musical group “The Pussycat Dolls”, describing their hit song “Don't Cha” as a negative representation of women. He points out an obvious offence in American culture.
    A study from Loyola University of Maryland has shown that humor is one determining factor for selecting a mating partner. Amongst other things, mates look for an outstanding funny bone in a potential partner.
    Of course, humor is not always used for good purposes. Humor can be linked to vulgarity (粗俗)and racism, but, like everything else, it has potential to unite human beings by allowing us to laugh at ourselves, our failures and our connection with one another.
    Though 1ife may seem tough and depressing at times, all I have to do is look in the mirror at my increased wrinkles(皱纹) to know that there is a comedy out there that even Chaplin wasn’t aware of.
    With that in mind, remember to laugh with humanity and sometimes at humanity.
    小题1:Hobbes believes that humor__________.
    A．was for people to view the world from another angle
    B．resulted in narrow-mindedness of human beings
    C．had the power to mirror personal glory and national values
    D．was only a way to laugh at others to make oneself feel better
    小题2:The fourth paragraph is developed mainly__________.
    A．by comparisonB．by processC．by exampleD．by classification
    小题3:What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
    A．The author is determined to face life with a sense of humor.
    B．The author feels helpless and sad about getting older.
    C．Never be the one who laughs at other people.
    D．Chaplin wasn’t aware of being laughed at.

    There are going to be moments in life when you must make very important decisions. You will find many people      to offer you advice if you ask for it (and even if you don’t), but always remember that the life you     is yours and nobody else’s. It’s important to decide for yourself what’s important to you and what you want before you      others. Because while there will be times      outside advice proves wise, there will be at least as many times when it proves completely     . The only way to really evaluate other folks’ advice is to first learn everything that you can about whatever challenge you are     . Once you’ve done that, in most cases you should be able to make a wise decision      anyway.
    You were      with the ability to decide what is and what isn’t in your best interest. Most of the time, you will make the right decision and      the appropriate action, and in thinking for yourself, you will become far more successful than if you had gone against your own     .
    Early on in my investment career, I made the mistake of      a few important business decisions on colleagues’ opinions instead of conducting the      necessary to make a wise decision. It wasn’t due to      on my part; no one could ever accuse me of that. But, being      to Wall Street, I intended to suppose that my more senior      knew more than I did, and so I      too much significance to their opinions.
    You know what happened? Each of those investments ended in     . Eventually I stopped allowing myself to be influenced by      and began doing the work myself and making my own decisions. It took me until I was almost 30 years old to      this—it’s never too late for a person to change his approach both to      and to life.

    During my elementary school years, I used to compare my mom with my best friend Tiffany's mom.
    Tiffany's mom always gave her lots of money to buy the most fashionable clothes and favorite food. Her mom allowed her to do anything she liked. I really admired Tiffany. My mom didn't give me much pocket money and she always told me that I should behave myself. I was annoyed with her.
    Whenever I didn't get what I wanted, I would complain to my mom, Tiffany's mom would give her that! I wish she were my mom. "Every time, my morn would calmly say "Poor Tiffany". I couldn't understand her. "She shouldn't be feeling sorry for Tiffany!" I thought. "She should be feeling sorry for me."
    One day, I couldn't help saying to Mom, "Poor Tiffany? Lucky Tiffany! She gets everything she wants! Why do you feel sorry for her? " I burst into tears.
    My mom sat down next to me and said softly. "Yes, I do feel sorry for her. I have been teaching you a lesson that she will never be taught. "
    I looked up at her. "What are you talking about?"
    Mom said with care, "One day she will really want something. Maybe she'll find out that she can't have it. Her mother won't always be around to give her money, and what's more, money can't buy everything. "
    She continued, "I have taught you valuable lessons by not giving you everything you want. You'll know how to look for bargains and save money, but she won't. You'll understand that you need to work hard to get the things that you want but she won't. When Tiffany is a grown woman, she'll wake up one day and she will be wishing that she had a mom like the one you've got. Life lessons are more important than modern clothes and delicious food. "

    Reading to dogs is an unusual way to help children improve their literacy skills. With their shining brown eyes, wagging tails, and unconditional love, dogs can provide the nonjudgmental listeners needed for a beginning reader to gain confidence, according to Intermountain Therapy Animals （ITA） in Salt Lake City. The group says it is the first program in the country to use dogs to help develop literacy in children, with the introduction of Reading Education Assistance Dogs（READ）.
    The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea. “Literacy specialists admit that children who read below the level of their fellow pupils are often afraid of reading aloud in a group, often have lower self-respect, and regard reading as a headache,” said Lisa Myron, manager of the children’s department.
    Last November, the two groups started “Dog Day Afternoon” in the children's department of the main library. About 25 children attended each of the four Saturday-afternoon classes, reading for half an hour. Those who attended three of the four classes received a “paw graphed” book at the last class.
    The program was so successful that the library plans to repeat it in April, according to Dana Thumpowsky, public relations manager.
    小题1:What is mainly discussed in the text?
    A．Children’s reading difficulties.
    B．Advantages of raising dogs.
    C．Service in public library.
    D．A special reading program.
    小题2: Specialists use dogs to listen to children reading because they think ______________.
    A．dogs are young children's best friends
    B．children can play with dogs while reading
    C．dogs can provide encouragement for shy children
    D．children and dogs understand each other
    小题3:By saying “The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea”, the writer means the library ____________.
    A. uses dogs to attract children.
    B. accepts the idea put forward by ITA.
    C. has opened a children's department.    
    D. has decided to train some dogs.
    小题4: A “paw graphed” book is most probably_____________.
    A．a book used in Saturday classes
    B．a book written by the children
    C．a prize for the children
    D．a gift from parents

    There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health, wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and 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 (冒犯) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was sounded 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 realized 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 all 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 people 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.
    小题1:People who are unhappy                   ．
    A．always consider things differently from others
    B．usually are affected by the results of certain things
