    A beggar, carrying a shabby(破旧的) old wallet, was begging alone from house to house. As he complained about his 36 , he kept wondering that people who lived in 37 houses should always be unsatisfied, 38 rich they might be, and they should go so far as to 39 all they have.
    “Here, for example,” he said, the former master of this house succeeded in trading, and made himself very rich. By then, instead of stopping, and handing over his 40 to another, and spending the rest of his years 41 peace, he took to(从事) equipping ships. He expected to get mountains of gold; but the ships were 42 , and his treasures were lost. Now they all lie at the bottom of the sea, and he has found his 43 disappeared like those in dreams. In short, examples of this are 44.
    At this moment Fortune suddenly appeared to the beggar and said, “Listen! I have long wished to 45 you. Here are a lot of gold coins I have found. Hold out your wallet, and I will fill it with them; but only on this condition: All shall be gold that falls into the wallet, but if 46 of them falls out of the wallet to the ground, it 47 become dust. Consider this well. I have warned you I shall 48 keep my word. Your wallet is old, don’t fill it 49 its power.” The beggar was almost too overjoyed to breathe. He 50 felt the ground below his feet. A stream of coins were poured 51 it. The wallet soon became rather heavy.
    “Is that 52 ?” “Not yet,” “Isn’t it 53 ?” “Never fear.” “Consider, you are a millionaire.” “Just a little more, just 54 a handful,” But at that moment the wallet broke, the gold coins 55 dust and Fortune disappeared. The beggar had nothing but his empty wallet and remained as poor as before.

    When a dirty and untidy orange cat showed up in the prison yard，I was one of the first to go out there and pet it．I hadn’t touched a cat or a dog in over 20 years．I spent at least 20 minutes，knelt down behind the kitchen as the cat rolled around，relaxed．What he was expressing outwardly, I was feeling inwardly．It was an amazing bit of grace to feel him under my hand and note that I was reaching a life or another creature with something as simple as my care．
    Over the next few days，there were other prisoners responding to the cat．Every yard period，a group of prisoners gathered there．They stood around talking and taking turns petting the cat．These were guys you wouldn’t usually find talking to each other．Several times I saw an officer in the group，not chasing people away, but just watching and seeming to enjoy along with the prisoners．Bowls of milk and water appeared along with bread, wisely placed under the edge of the dustbin to keep the birds from getting it．
    The cat was obviously homeless and in pretty bad shape．People said that the cat came to the right place．He's getting treated like a king．This was true．but as I watched I was also thinking about what the cat was doing for us．There was a lot of talk about what's wrong with prisons in America．We need more programs．We need more psychologists or treatment of various kinds．Some may even talk about making prisons more kind．But I think what we really need is a chance to practise our own kindness．Not receive it，but give it．After more than two decades here，I know kindness is not a value that's encouraged．It's often seen as a weakness．
    Instead，the culture encourages keeping your head down，minding your own business，and never letting yourself be weak．
    The cat did my heart good to see the effect he had on me and the men here．By simply saying，”I need some help here”，he did something important for us．He needed us．And we needed to be needed．I believe we all do．

    Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive(漂亮的) people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable jobs. Personal advisors give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants (被告). But in the executive (行政的；管理的) circle, beauty can become
    a liability.
    While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman. Handsome male executives were considered as having more honesty than plain(平常的，不漂亮的) men; effort and ability were thought to lead to their success. Attractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones; their success was connected not with ability but with factors such as luck. All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was connected more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of the attractive overnight successes.
    Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman is considered to be more feminine and an attractive man more manly than the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally manly position appears to lack the "manly" qualities required.
    This is true even in politics. "When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently," says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates. She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them.
    The results showed that attractive males completely defeated unattractive men, but the women who had ranked most attractive unchangeably received the fewest votes.
    小题1:The word "liability" most probably means __________.        
    A．disadvantageB．advantageC．misfortuneD．trouble
    小题2:In traditionally female jobs, attractiveness ________.       
    A．makes women look more honest and capableB．strengthens the qualifies required
    C．is of no importance to womenD．often enables women to succeed quickly
    小题3:Bowman's experiment shows that when it comes to politics, attractiveness _______.      
    A．turns out to be a disadvantage to men
    B．is more of a disadvantage than an advantage to women
    C．affects men and women alike
    D．has as little effect on men as on women
    小题4:It can be inferred from the passage that people's views on beauty are often _____.      
    A．practicalB．supportiveC．old-fashionedD．one-sided
    小题5: The author writes this passage to ________________.
    A．give advice to job-seekers who are attractive
    B．discuss the disadvantages of women being attractive
    C．demand equal rights for women
    D．state the importance of appearance

    Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of fifty. In fact, they say by the age of eighty-five, people are happier with their life than they were when they were eighteen years old.
    The findings came from a survey of more than 340,000 adults in the United States. The Gallup(民意调查) Organization questioned them by telephone in 2008. At that time, the people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty-five.
    The researchers asked questions about emotions like happiness, sadness and worry. They also asked about mental or emotional stress.
    Arthur Stone at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five. The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties. Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. The people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties.
    Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.
    Professor Stone says the emotional patterns could be linked to changes in how people see the world, or maybe even changes in brain chemistry.
    The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age.
    The study also showed that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.
    小题1: What can be the best title of the text?
    A．Happiness Varies with Ages
    B．Experience More, Worry Less
    C．The Older, the Wiser
    D．Being Young, Being Happy
    小题2:We can learn from the research that _________.
    A．only when people get older will they feel happier
    B．stress levels among the youngest are the highest
    C．older people tend to be grateful
    D．older people usually have no worries
    小题3:According to the research, when people get older, _________.
    A．they miss the old days
    B．they are physically weak
    C．they have better self-control
    D．they are more emotional
    小题4:What would the author probably talk about next?
    A．What influences happiness.
    B．How to live better.
    C．How to keep happier.
    D．Why women are less happier.
    小题5:The author is intended to _________.
    A．advise how to reduce stress
    B．introduce a scientific finding
    C．describe how to do research
    D．talk about human emotions

    Being able to multitask---doing several things at the same time---is considered a welcome skill by most people. But if we consider the situation of the young people aged from eight to eighteen, we should think again.
    What we often see nowadays is that young people juggle an ever larger number of electronic devices as they study. While working, they also surf on the Internet, send out emails, answer the telephone and listen to music on their iPods. In a sense, they are spending a significant amount of time in fruitless efforts as they multitask.
    Multitasking is even changing the relationship between family members. As young people give so much attention to their own worlds, they seem to have no time to spend with the other people around them. They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house, nor can they eat at the family table.
    Multitasking also affects young people’s performance at university and in the workplace. When asked about their opinion of the effect of modern gadgets on their performance of tasks, many young people gave a positive response. However, the response from the worlds of education and business was not quite as positive.
    Educators feel that multitasking by children has a serious effect on later development of study skills. They believe that many college students now need help to improve their study skills. Similarly, employers feel that young people entering the job market need to be taught all over again, as modern gadgets have made it unnecessary for them to learn special skills to do their work.
    小题1:What does the underlined word “juggle” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
    A．Want to buy.
    B．Take the place of.
    C．Use at the same time.
    D．Seek for information from.
    小题2:In Paragraph 3, the author points out that  ________.
    A．family members do not eat at the family table.
    B．family members do not greet each other.
    C．young people live happily in their families
    D．young people seldom talk with their family members
    小题3:What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
    A．multitasking is harmful to young people’s development.
    B．Young people benefit a lot from modern gadgets.
    C．Multitasking is an important skill to young people.
    D．Yong people must learn skills for future jobs.
    小题4:The author develops the passage mainly by ________.
    A．providing typical examples
    B．following the natural time order
    C．comparing opinions from different fields
    D．presenting a cause and analyzing its effects

    Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with. Sure, there are times when we need to be alone. We don’t always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.
    No two people are the same. Sometimes friends don’t get along well. That doesn’t mean they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very sad. We miss them very much. But we can call them and write to them. Maybe we would never see them again. And we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women, if they are friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named in this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.
    There is more good news for people, if they have friends. These people live longer than those people who don’t have friends. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares. If someone cares about you, you take better care of yourself.
    小题1: The first paragraph tells us     .
    A．what is the feeling of having no friends
    B．we always need friends around us
    C．making friends is a need in people’s life
    D．we need to be alone in our life
    小题2:Which of the following places people name after their friendly people is NOT mentioned in the passage?
    A．A town.B．A room.C．A school.D．A library.
    小题3:Why do people who have friends live longer?
    A．They feel happier and healthier.B．They know more about friendship.
    C．They take less care of themselves.D．They care more about their friends.
