    It was blazing hot, just like most July days. I stepped into a tiny ice-cream shop to cool off with a
    chocolate ice-cream. It was an old woman bent over a table near the door. Her back was so badly twisted that her face nearly touched the tabletop. I sat down facing her a couple of tables away.
    “Poor woman,” I thought, “What does she get out of life? Why God let people live so long past their prime?”
    As I thought, another aged lady entered the shop and sat down with her. Soon the two of them were talking about childhood days. They talked of how little the shop had changed in 70 years... In minutes, the two of them were trembling with laughter.
    I looked again at the first woman, then in the mirror on a nearby wall, catching a picture of myself. I was wearing a dirty shirt. She was well dressed in white, her hands sparking with gold rings. I was sad. She was laughing, smiling. I was putting the pieces of my life together. She had millions of wonderful memories to recall. I sat alone. She was sharing the day with a good friend. I was secretly worried about getting old. She was old, but it wasn’t hurting her.
    As I left the shop, I thought of my foolish question about God letting people live past their prime. Why, that woman was more alive, more sensitive to life than I was. Age has not bent her spirit.
    小题1:From the passage we know that the ice-shop _________.
    A．changed a lot in the pastB．had only a couple of tables
    C．started its business 70 years ago.D．had only women shoppers.
    小题2:What is the meaning of the underlined word “prime” in this passage?
    A．miserable life
    B．wonderful experience
    C．long career
    D．time of great strength, beauty, vigor(活力)
    小题3: The writer implies all of the following except that _________.
    A．the old lady had lived a full and satisfying life
    B．the writer had more problems than the old lady
    C．the old lady was very lonely and sad
    D．the old lady had learned to enjoy the simple things in life
    小题4: Which of the following is the conclusion the writer made about the old lady?
    A．She was more alive and sensitive to life than the writer.
    B．She considered the young man pitiable.
    C．She was to be pitied for her old age.
    D．People should not be allowed to live when they are too old.
    小题5:Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?
    A．To tell us the life of old people
    B．To show that old age does not mean being short of spirit.
    C．To show the difference between the old and the young.
    D．To make the reader have a pity on the old people.

    The baby monkey is much more developed at birth than the human baby. Almost from the moment it is born, the baby monkey can move around and hold tightly to its mother. During the first few days of its life the baby will approach and hold onto almost any large, warm, and soft object in its environment, particularly if that object also gives it milk. After a week or so, however, the baby monkey begins to avoid newcomers and focuses its attentions on “mother” ---- the real mother or the mother-substitute(母亲替代物）.
    During the first two weeks of its warmth is perhaps the most important psychological（心理的） thing that a monkey mother has to give to its baby. The Harlows, a couple who are both psychologists, discovered this fact by offering baby monkeys a choice of two types of mother-substitutes ---- one covered with cloth and one made of bare wire. If the two artificial mothers were both the same temperature, the little monkeys always preferred the cloth mother. However, if the wire model was heated, while the cloth model was cool, for the first two weeks after birth the baby monkeys picked the warm wire mother-substitutes as their favorites. Thereafter they switched and spent most of their time on the more comfortable cloth mother
    Why is cloth preferable to bare wire? Something that the Harlows called contact（接触的） comfort seems to be the answer, and a most powerful influence it is. Baby monkeys spend much of their time rubbing against their mothers’ skins, putting themselves in as close contact with the parent as they can. Whenever the young animal is frightened, disturbed, or annoyed, it typically rushes to its mother and rubs itself against her body. Wire doesn’t“rub”as well as does soft wire cloth. Prolonged（长时间的）“contact comfort” with a cloth mother appears to give the babies confidence and is much more rewarding to them than is either warmth or milk.
    According to the Harlows, the basic quality of a baby’s love for its mother is trust. If the baby is put into an unfamiliar playroom without its mother, the baby ignores the toys no matter how interesting they might be. It screams in terror and curls up into a fury little ball. If its cloth mother is now introduced into the playroom, the bay rushes to it and holds onto it for dear life. After a few minutes of contact comfort, it obviously begins to feel more secure. It then climbs down from the mother-substitute and begins to explore the toys, but often rushes back for a deep embrace（拥抱）as if to make sure that its mother is still there and that all is well. Bit by bit its fears of the new environment are gone and it spends more and more time playing with the toys and less and less time holding on to its “mother.” 
    50. Psychologically, what does the baby monkey desire most during the first two weeks of its life?
    A. Warmth     B. Milk     C. Contact         D. Trust
    小题1:After the first two weeks of their life, baby moneys prefer the cloth mother to the wire mother because the former is __.
    A．larger in sizeB．closer to them
    C．less frightening and less disturbingD．more comfortable to rub against
    小题2:What does the baby monkey probably gain from prolonged “contact comfort”?
    A．AttentionB．SoftnessC．ConfidenceD．Interest
    小题3:It can be inferred that when the baby monkey feels secure,_____________.
    A．it frequently rushes back for a deep embrace when exploring the toys
    B．it spends more time screaming to get rewards
    C．it is less attracted to the toys though they are interesting
    D．it cares less about whether its mother is still around
    小题4:The main purpose of the passage is to______________.
    A．give the reasons of the experiment
    B．present the findings of the experiment
    C．introduce the method of the experiment
    D．describe the process of the experiment

    I was tired and hungry after a long day of work. When I walked into the living-room, my 12-year-old son looked   36   at me and said, “I love you.” I didn't know what to say.   37   several seconds all I could do was to stand there and    38    down at him . My first thought was that he must need   39 with his homework or he was trying to   40  me for some news.
    Finally I asked, “What was that all about?” “Nothing,” he said. “My teacher said we should   41 our parents that we love them and sees what they say. It’s   42 .
    The next day I called his teacher to find out more about this “experiment” and how the other parents had   43 .
    “Basically, most of the fathers had the   44   reaction as you did,” the teacher said. “When I first   45  we try this, I asked the children what they thought their parents would say. Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble.
    “The   46  is,” the teacher explained, “feeling loved is an important part of  47  . It is something all people   48 . What I'm trying to tell the children is that it's too   49  we don't all express those feeling. A boy   50   tell his dad he loves him.”
    The teacher, a middle-aged man, understands how   51  it is for some of us to say the things that would be good for us to say.
    When my son came to me that evening, I held on to him for a (n)  52  moment. And just   53  he pulled away , I said in my deepest , most manly voice , “Hey , I love you , too . ”
    I don't know if saying that made either of us healthier, but it did feel pretty good. Maybe next time one of my children says “I love you”, it would not take me a whole   54   to think of the right        55  .

    Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s a big difference between “being a writer” and writing. In most cases these people are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone as a typewriter. “You’ve got to want to write,” I say to them, “not want to be a writer.”
    The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose wish is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S, Coast Guard to become a freelance writer(自由撰稿者), I had no hope at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used typewriter and felt like a real writer.
    After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t got a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who die wondering. What if? I would keep putting my dream to the test even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the shadow land of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.
    小题1:The writer wrote the passage to ________.
    A．warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experience
    B．advise young people to give up their ideas of becoming a professional writer
    C．show young people it’s unrealistic for a writer to dream of wealth and fame
    D．encourage young people to gain a writing career
    小题2:What can be concluded from the passage?
    A．Real writers often find their works interesting and rewarding.
    B．A writer’s success depends on luck rather than on effort.
    C．Famous writers usually live in poverty and loneliness.
    D．The chances for a writer to become successful are small.
    小题3:The underlined part “people who die wondering. What if?” refers to “those _______.”
    A．who think too much of the dark side of life
    B．who regret giving up their careers halfway
    C．who think a lot without making a decision
    D．who are full of imaginations even upon death
    小题4:What is the best title of the passage?
    A．how to be a writerB．how to earn fame
    C．how to write wellD．how to keep dreaming
