8.My friend BJ Gallagher told me a great story recently,about her own experience with resentment (愤恨).She once worked as the training manager for a large newspaper,where she found the corporate culture extremely frustrating.The company was a hundred years old and their past success had blinded them to the need for change.Finally,after butting heads with several senior executives (主管) many times,she left the company.But she found that she hadn't left her resentment,frustration,and anger behind when she resigned.
"I finally decided to write about my experiences and my feelings at the newspaper.I wanted to be rid of that company and those people,once and for all.So I wrote and I wrote.It wasn't just a story that poured out; it was a whole book!We called it A peacock in the Land of Penguins.I was the peacock and those newspaper executives were the penguins."
"It took me several more years to finally get over my negative emotions.Through a lot of soul-searching and reflection,I finally was able to let go of my resentment.I came to see that there was nothing personal in the way they treated me,and they were good people doing what they thought best for the company.I was the one who had made it personal.I thought they were making my life miserable on purpose."
"Finally,the time came when I decided to make amends (弥补) for the sharp,angry things I had said about the company.I invited my former boss to dinner and made my apology.It was a great healing process for me.I finally felt free of the resentment that had been eating me up."
"What was the final outcome?"I asked her.
"Gratitude,"she replied."Not only wasn't I resentful any more,I was grateful to the company.If I hadn't had those painful experiences,I would never have written a book.And the book became hugely successful-now published in 21languages; it transformed my business."

67.What made BJ Gallagher frustrated in the company?B

68.Why did BJ Gallagher write about her experiences and feelings at the company?D
A.To make peace with the executives.
B.To make suggestions to the company.

点评 做阅读时经常犯错的主要原因是,仅凭读过文章后残留在脑海中的一丝印象来勾选答案,这样便很容易掉入出题人故意设布下的题目陷阱.所谓阅读理解,对于题目的理解一定要忠实于原文,因此,每一道题都应该与原文作全面的对比与核查,再得出答案.也就是说,阅读理解的每一道题目,在原文都应该有明确的出处,我们把这一出处叫做原文相关句,(1)排除与原文相关句主题不一致的选项(2)排除与原文相关句态度相反的选项 (3)排除用于过于极端或负面的选项(4)注意结合文章主旨和主题去排除.

1.Sharks are among the oldest animals on Earth.There are hundreds of kinds of sharks.Most are about two meters long.The dogfish shark,however,is less than twenty centimeters in length.A shark has an extremely good sense of smell.It can find small amounts of substances in water,such as blood,body liquids and chemicals produced by animals.(31)DSharks eat fish,other sharks,and plants that live in the ocean.
Sharks grow slowly.About forty percent of all sharks lay eggs.(32)GSome sharks carry their young inside their bodies as humans do.Some sharks are not able to reproduce until they are twenty years old.Most reproduce only every two years.And they give birth to fewer than ten young sharks.For this reason,over-fishing of sharks is of special danger to the future of the animal.
Sharks are important for the world's oceans.They eat injured and diseased fish.Their hunting activities mean that the numbers of other fish in ocean waters do not become too great.(33)B.
People hunt sharks for sport,food,medicine and their skin.Experts say the international market for some kinds of sharks has increased because many parts of a shark are valuable.Collectors pay thousands of dollars for the jaws of a shark.(34)AThe skin of a shark can be used like leather.In Asia,people enjoy a kind of soup made from shark fins.Experts say a fisherman can earn a lot of money for even one kilogram of shark fins.Sharks are among the oldest animals on Earth,but some sharks are in danger of disappearing from Earth.(35)E

A.Shark liver oil is a popular source of Vitamin A.
B.This protects the plants and other forms of life that exist in the oceans.
C.Sharks are valuable to us and we can make full use of them.
D.These powerful senses help sharks find their food.
E.If too many sharks in one area are killed,that group of sharks may never return to normal population levels.
F.This is a threat to other forms of life in the ocean.
G.The others give birth to live young.

3.People laugh and people cry.But it is thought that emotions such as anger,or joy,typically make Americans feel uncomfortable and embarrassed.The shedder of tears(落泪者)is likely to apologize,even when a great tragedy was the cause.The observer of tears is likely to do everything possible to put an end to the emotional tears.But judging from recent studies of crying behavior,both those responses to tears are often inappropriate and may even be counterproductive(适得其反).
Humans are the only animals clearly known to shed emotional tears.Since evolution has given rise to few purposeless physiological responses,it is logical to assume that crying has one or more functions that increase survival.
Although some observers have suggested that crying is a way to ask for assistance from others(as a crying baby might from its mother),the shedding of tears is hardly necessary to get help.Vocal(出声的)cries would have been quite enough,more likely than tears to gain attention.So,it appears that there must be something special about tears themselves.
Indeed,the new studies suggest that emotional tears may play a direct role in easing stress.University of Minnesota researchers who are studying the chemical composition of tears have recently separated two important chemicals from emotional tears.Both chemicals are found only in tears that are shed in response to emotion.Tears shed because of exposure to cut onion would contain no such substance.
Other researchers are looking into the usefulness of tears as a means of diagnosing human ills and monitoring drugs.At Tulane University's Tear Analysis Laboratory Dr.Peter Kastl and his colleagues report that they can use tears to detect drug abuse,to study the causes of"dry eye"syndrome(综合征)and the effects of eye surgery,and perhaps even to measure exposure to environmental pollutants.

60.What does the underlined phrase"both those responses"in Paragraph1refer to?D
A.Crying out of sorrow and shedding tears for happiness.
B.The embarrassment and unpleasant feelings of the observers.
C.Linking illness with crying and finding the chemical composition of tears.
D.The tear shedder's apology and the observer's effort to stop the crying.
61.It is known from the first paragraph thatA.
A.shedding tears gives unpleasant feelings to Americans
B.crying may often result in tragedy
C.crying usually wins sympathy from other people
D.one who sheds tears in public will be blamed
62.What does the author say about crying?C
A.It is a pointless physiological response to the environment.
B.It must have a role to play in man's survival.
C.It is meant to get attention and assistance.
D.It usually produces the desired effect.
63.From the passage we can infer thatB.
A.it is unnatural for people to shed tears
B.we can reduce our stress by shedding tears
C.shedders of tears can't get help by crying loudly
D.unlike animals,humans can shed tears for survival.

At first,Sean thought it was a bad joke and he told his mother Sharon Redden.But she asked,"It's not just some game,is it?
The message was not a joke."Susan Hicks"was actually 20-year-old Taija Laitinen,a student working late at night at a college library near Helsinki,Finland---almost 7,000miles away from Sean's home in Texas.While searching the Internet,she began to feel terrible pain all through her body.The library was empty and the nearest phone was outside in the hallway.She couldn't move that far because any movement caused the pain to get worse.Then as the pain became worse,she began typing her message for help in the chat room.
"I don't think it's a joke,mom,"Sean said.He typed,"Where are you?The letters appeared,"Finland."Sean and Sharon couldn't believe it.Not knowing what else to do,Sharon called the local police and explained the situation to officer Amy Schmidt.Schmidt told Sharon to try to get the sick girl's phone number and address.
Meanwhile,the Texas police called the international telephone operator and asked to be connected to the proper agency(机构) in Finland.The Texas police explained the situation and gave Susan's address to the Finnish operator.When Sean heard that,he typed,"Help is on the way."
In the few minutes,the library door opened.Doctors and three policemen ran in.Taija turned once more to the computer,"They are here.Thanks.Bye-bye."
