    Dear Flowermouse,?
    Thank you for your comments on how Americans and Chinese view each other. This is an important subject. Modern technology has given many nations the chance of destroying other nations. This is a cruel picture but it is a realistic one. It means that every nation should make sure that these weapons of great destruction are never used. This requires greater acceptance of differences among people and nations in all parts of the planet.?
    Your letter asks specially about Chinese-American relationships but I want to let you know my feelings on a global scale. Because China and America are the most powerful nations and I believe they have a special responsibility for promoting better understanding and for leading the way toward peaceful solutions to the world's problems.
    You ask how Chinese and American people view each other. This is an important question. Because I know so little about China that I am not able to judge how Chinese view Americans. I am sure that the view differs according to individual experiences that persons might have. And it is not easy to describe America to foreigners. America is a vast mass of people and cultures. These people came from all parts of the world, from Asia, Africa, Latin America, Europe and Australia. Each brought a different culture and a different set of values within a single nation.
    　　I believe that the vast majority of Americans like the vast majority of Chinese want peace and friendship between our two nations. Both China and America have suffered through generations from war and violence in our history. And I believe that it is the special responsibility of all Chinese and all Americans to impress this need for mutual understanding on our neighbors in other.?
    So my friend, this is my response. Please know that I write to you as a private person living in America. I do feel strongly that people everywhere have more in common than they have in differences. We all share the same basic needs for existence and we all depend upon the same need for the survival of this beautiful planet earth. Maybe we can begin to encourage better communication and better understanding through my columns. I hope so.?

    A is for always getting to work on time.
    B is for being extremely busy.
    C is for the conscientious(勤勤恳恳的) way you do your job.
    You may be all these things at the office, and more. But when it comes to getting ahead, experts say, the ABCs of business should include a P, for politics, as in office politics.
    Dale Carnegie suggested as much more than 50 years ago: Hard work alone doesn’t ensure career advancement. You have to be able to sell yourself and your ideas, both publicly and behind the scenes. Yet, despite the obvious rewards of engaging in office politics—a better job, a raise, praise—many people are still unable or unwilling—to “play the game”.
    “People assume that office politics involves some manipulative(工于心计的) behavior,” says Deborah Comer, an assistant professor of management at Hofstra University. “But politics derives from the word ‘polite’. It can mean lobbying(游说) and forming associations. It can mean being kind and helpful, or even trying, to please your superior, and then expecting something in return.”
    In fact, today, experts define office politics as proper behavior used to pursue one’s own self-interest in the workplace. In many cases, this involves some form of socializing within the office environment—not just in large companies, but in small workplaces as well.
    “The first thing people are usually judged on is their ability to perform well on a consistent basis,” says Neil P. Lewis, a management psychologist. “But if two or three candidates are up for a promotion, each of whom has reasonably similar ability, a manager is going to promote the person he or she likes best. It’s simple human nature.”
    Yet, psychologists say, many employees and employers have trouble with the concept of politics in the office. Some people, they say, have an idealistic vision of work and what it takes to succeed. Still others associate politics with flattery(奉承), fearful that, if they speak up for themselves, they may appear to be flattering their boss for favors.
    Experts suggest altering this negative picture by recognizing the need for some self-promotion.
    小题1:“Office politics” is used in the passage to refer to________.
    A．the political views and beliefs of office workers
    B．the interpersonal relationships within a company
    C．the various qualities required for a successful career
    D． the code of behavior for company staff
    小题2:To get promoted, one must not only be competent but________.
    A．avoid being too outstanding
    B．get along well with his colleagues
    C．honest and loyal to his company
    D．give his boss a good impression
    小题3:The author considers office politics to be________.
    A．unwelcome at the workplace
    B．bad for interpersonal relationships
    C．an important factor for personal advancement
    D．indispensable to the development of company culture
    小题4:It is the author’s view that________.
    A．self-promotion does not necessarily mean flattery
    B．hard work contributes very little to one’s promotion
    C．many employees fail to recognize the need of flattery
    D．speaking up for oneself is part of human nature

    When I was a stay-at-home mom, there were times I wished I could buy some beautiful flowers, but the money that they would cost was needed in the home. When I walked into town with the family, my youngest daughter, Lily, would always carry a flower stem(花梗). That’s how she got the nickname “Stick Girl”.
    One day when we passed the flower lady with Lily, the flower lady smiled at her and said, “Come here. I have something for you.” She handed her a beautiful flower. Lily dropped the stem and held on to that flower until we came back home. We placed it in water and enjoyed the beauty of that flower along with the feelings of warmth and kindness from the flower lady.
    My neighbors would run to her to get a bouquet of flowers whenever they wanted to, and I used to give directions(为人指路) using the flower lady. I would say, “Walk for three blocks. You’ll see the flower lady. Turn right at that street.”
    My mom visits me each year. On her first summer visit this year, she looked at me and asked, “Where’s the flower lady?”
    I had no idea. The flower lady had been an icon(偶像) for me for 16 years, but now she wasn’t there any more.
    I went on a search and soon found her in another spot, at the Harbor Loop. I was glad to see her and I had to tell her that she was missed!
    I have a garden which I admire very much now. Every time I see those bright colors when I come home after a day of work, I remember the generosity of a dear old lady whom I only know as the flower lady.

    A. accepted it happily
    B. paid for it and walked home quickly
    C. accepted it and forgot that other people were laughing at her
    D. felt sorry for not being able to pay for it
    57. Why did the author give directions using the flower lady?
    A. Because the flower lady used to give her daughter many flowers.
    B. Because she felt grateful for the flower lady’s generosity and warmth.      
    C. Because her neighbors usually bought flowers from the flower lady.
    D. Because the flower lady ran the flower shop with her and her mother.
    58. From the passage, we know that _____.
    A. it was the flower lady who taught the author how to grow flowers
    B. the author didn’t know the flower lady’s address or name
    C. the flower lady used to sell flowers in one place all the time
    D. the flower lady might keep on offering the author flowers
    59. What’s the best title for the passage?
    A. The Stick Girl   B. Beautiful Flowers   C. The Flower Lady    D. Buying Flowers

    There was a time in my life when beauty meant something special to me. I guess that would have been when I was about six or seven ye ars old, just several weeks or maybe a month before the orphanage turned me into an old man.
    I would get up every morning at the orphanage, make my bed just like the little soldier that I had become and then I would get into one of the two straight lines and march to breakfast with the other twenty or thirty boys who also lived in my dormitory.
    After breakfast one Saturday morning I returned to the dormitory and saw the house parent chasing the beautiful monarch butterflies who lived by the hundreds in the azalea (杜鹃花) bushes strewn around the orphanage.
    I carefully watched as he caught these beautiful creatures, one after the other, and then took them from the net and then stuck straight pins through their head and wings, pinning them onto a heavy cardboard sheet.
    How cruel it was to kill something of such beauty. I had walked many times out into the bushes, all by myself, just so the butterflies could land on my head, face and hands so I could look at them up close.
    Every year when the butterflies would return to the orphanage and try to land on me I would try and shoo (用"嘘"声赶走,吓走)them away because they did not know that the orphanage was a bad place to live and a very bad place to die.
    1. According to the passage, how did the author find the orphanage?
    A. A favorable place to live.                B. A bad place to live.
    C. A comfortable place for butterflies.  D. A favorable place for the old.
    2. How did the people go to their meals?
    A. By car.              B. On foot.            C. Queuing in two ways.              D. Any way they wanted.
    3. Which of the following statements is TRUE, according to the passage?
    A. I love everything of beauty when I was old.
    B. The people in the orphanage stand in line doing everything.
    C. The azalea bushes were planted by the people living in the orphanage.
    D. I shooed the butterflies away because I didn’t want them to be killed.
    4. What can we infer from the first two paragraphs?
    A. I love beauty when I was about six or seven years old.
    B. I became old very soon in the orphanage.
    C. I had a very pleasant time in the orphanage.
    D. I was tired with the life the way I lived in the orphanage.
    5. What does the author think of the house parent?
    A. Pitiless.             B. Kind.                C. Lovable.                          D. Beautiful.

    Life is difficult.
    It is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it, then life is no longer difficult.
    Most do not fully see this truth. Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that difficulties represent(代表) a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nation.
    What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one. Problems, depending on their nature, cause in us sadness or loneliness or regret or anger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.
    Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning.
    Problems are the serious test that tells us success from failure. When we desire to encourage the growth of the human spirit, we encourage the human ability(能力) to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, “Those things that hurt, instruct.” It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.
    56. From the passage, it can be inferred that ______.
    A. everybody has problems          
    B. we become stronger by facing and solving the problems of life
    C. life is difficult because our problems bring us pain
    D. people like to complain about their problems
    57.The writer probably used just one short sentence in the first paragraph to ______.
    A. save space                B. persuade readers 
    C. make readers laugh         D. get reader's attention
    58. The main idea of paragraph 3 is that ______.
    A. most people feel life is easy     
    B. the writer feels life is easy
    C. the writer likes to complain about his problems
    D. most people complain about how hard their lives are
    59. According to the passage, we give school children difficult problems to solve in order to ______.
    A. encourage them to learn  
    B. teach them to fear the pain of solving problems
    C. help them learn to deal with pain
    D. teach them how to respect for problems
