A loving person lives in a loving world. A hostile(敌意的)person lives in a hostile world. Everyone you meet is your mirror.

Mirrors have a very particular  __36__. They reflect the image in front of them. Just as a  __37__  mirror works as the vehicle to reflection, __38__  do all of the people in our lives.

When we see something beautiful such as a flower garden, that garden  __39__  a reflection. When we love someone,it's a(n)  __40__  of loving ourselves. We have often heard things like “I love how I am when I'm with that person”. That simply  __41__  into “I'm able to love me when I love that other person”.  __42__, when we meet someone new, we feel as though we “click”. Sometimes it's as if we've  __43__  each other for a long time. That feeling can come from  __44__  similarities.

Just as the “mirror” or other people can be a positive reflection,it is more likely that we'll  __45__ it when it has a negative connotation(内涵).  __46__,it's easy to remember the times when we have met someone we're not particularly  __47__  about.

Some people are lucky enough to be born with a good sense of direction and even if they have only visited a place once, they will be able to find it again years later.

  I am one of those unlucky people who have poor sense of direction and I may have visited a place time after time but I still get lost on my way there. When I was young I was so shy that I never dared ask complete strangers the way and so I used to wander round in circles and hope that by some chance I would get to the place I was heading for.

  I am no longer too shy to ask people for direction, but I often receive replies that puzzle me. Often people do not like to admit(承认)that they didn’t know their hometown and will insist on telling you the way, even if they do not know it; others, who are anxious to prove that they know their hometown very well, will give you a long list of directions which you can not possibly hope to remember, and still others do not seem to be able to tell between their left and their right and you find in the end that you are going in the opposite(相反的)direction to that in which you should be going.

  If anyone ever asks me the way to somewhere, I always tell them I am a stranger to the town in order to avoid giving them wrong direction but even this can have embarrassing results.

  Once I was on my way to work when I was stopped by a man who asked me if I would direct him the way to the Sunlight Building. I gave my usual reply, but I had not walked on a few steps when I realized that he had asked for directions to my office building. However, at this point, I decide it was too late to turn back and search for him out of the crowd behind me as I was going to meet with someone at the office and I did not want to keep him waiting.

  Imagine my embarrassment when my secretary showed in the very man who had asked for directions of my office and his astonishment when he recognized me as the person he had asked.

1.What is the writer going to do when someone asks him for direction?

   

A.He will direct the right way to the person willingly.

 

B.He will reply to it by the means of being a stranger to the town.

 

C.He will give the very person long list of direction.

 

D.He is going to show the man an opposite direction.

2.Why did the writer consider himself to be an unlucky dog?

A.Because of his poor sense of direction.

B.Because he always forget the way to home.

C.Because he did not have any friend.

D. Because he used to be shy and dared not ask others the way.

3.How did the visitor feel when he was showed into the very room?

A.He felt strange.

B.He felt embarrassed.

C.He felt very sad.

D.He felt astonished.

4.Who showed the right way to the interviewee according to the passage?

A.Someone we don’t know.

B.The writer did it for himself.

 

C.The secretary did so.

D.A warm-hearted old lady did itI.

  Maybe ten?year?old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father,“But,Dad,you can’t be healthy if you’re dead.”

  Dad,in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run,had forgotten to wear his safety belt—a mistake 75% of US population make every day.The big question is why.

  There have been many myths about safety belts ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago.The following are three of the most common.

  Myth Number One: It’s best to be “thrown clear” of a serious accident.

  Truth: Sorry,but any accident serious enough to “throw you clear” is going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing.And chances are you’ll have traveled through a windshield (挡风玻璃)or door to do it.Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty?five times in cases where people are “thrown clear”.

  Myth Number Two: Safety?belts “trap” people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.

  Truth: Sorry again,but studies show that people knocked unconscious (昏迷) due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents.People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situation,not to be trapped in them.

  Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren’t needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour (mph).

  Truth: When two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other,an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving head first into the ground from a height of 10 metres.

1.Why did Elizabeth say to her father,“But,Dad,you can’t be healthy if you’re dead”?

  A.He was driving at great speed.

  B.He was running across the street.

  C.He didn’t have his safety belt on.

  D.He didn’t take his medicine on time.

2.The reason father was in a hurry to get home was that he     .

  A.wasn’t feeling very well      B.hated to drive in the dark

  C.wanted to take some exercise      D.didn’t want to be caught by the police

3.According to the text,to be “thrown clear” of a serious accident is very dangerous because

  you    .

  A.may be knocked down by other cars

  B.may get serious hurt thrown out of the car

  C.may find it impossible to get away from the seat

  D.may get caught in the car door

4.Some people prefer to drive without wearing a safety belt because they believe     .

  A.the belt prevents them from escaping in an accident

  B.they will be unable to think clearly in an accident

  C.they will be caught when help comes

  D.cars catch fire easily

5.What is the advice given in the test?

  A.Never drive faster than 30 miles an hour.

  B.Try your best to save yourself in a car accident.

  C.Never forget to wear the safety belt while driving.

  D.Drive slowly while you’re not wearing a safety belt.

第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题,每题2分,满分40分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
You get all sorts of demands, and the mark of a good hotel is to supply whatever is asked for without sounding surprise. If a guest asks for rubber gloves. You don't ask why. You say, “No problem. What colour do you want?”
  There have been some demands which, much as I would have liked to fill, I couldn't. A Japanese businessman, for example, thought the manager of a hotel was like the captain of a ship so he asked me to marry him and the woman he loved. There was one time, however, we did help out. A young man thought that if he asked his girlfriend to marry him at the Ritz she would say yes. He asked us to put the ring in a cake, and she accepted.
  Top hotels are used more and more to impress. They are used for doing business. If you've got something to sell, take your clients(客户) to the best hotel where the surroundings are quite helpful. A friend of mine working at Savoy Hotel tells story about a man who gave him 5 pounds to say “Good morning, Mr. Smith” when he walked through the door with two other men. This he did, and could hear Mr. Smith saying, “I do wish they would leave me alone at this place.”
  According to Julian Payne, the most powerful people in any hotel are the porters, who carry bags for hotel guests. “Porters can do almost anything. They can get you tables at the best restaurants or tickets for a popular concert. Don't ask me how they do it or what their deal is because I don't know. Most of them have been there for years. They know more about the history of the hotel and the guests than anyone else. They are invaluable. A head porter will come in even on his day off so he can say hello to someone he remembers visiting the hotel years ago.”
56.When guests ask for something strange,the manager of a good hotel would think ______.
  A.how he can meet their needs
  B.why they have such demands
  C.what problems the hotel has
  D.who is the best person to go to
57.Which of the following examples explains “we did help out?”
  A.The hotel bought a ring for a young lady.
  B.A Japanese married the woman he loved.
  C.The manager once acted as a captain.
  D.A young lady agreed to marry her boyfriend.
58.Which of the following statements is true about the porters in expensive hotels?
A.They sell tickets for concerts.
B.They know how to make a good deal.
C.They know a lot about the hotels and the guests.
D.The come to work even on their days off.
59.By saying “I do wish they would leave me alone at this place”, Mr. Smith ______.
  A.showed that he disliked such people at the hotel
  B.gave the impression that he was a constant guest
  C.tried to make his clients feel sorry for him
  D.sounded as if he was tired of such greetings

Fred Michel is one of 7.2 million Americans who moonlight, or hold more than one job.
  Once a week, after his day job as medical director of a mental health center, the 40-year-old psychiatrist (精神病大夫) heads to a part-time job at a treatment center for young people. Twice a month, he travels three hours to another teenage treatment center.
  Last year, 5.4 percent of the American workforce held second jobs, according to the US Labor Department, and that looks set to increase this year.
  Many workers like the safety that moonlighting provides, says Carl Hausamn, the writer of "Moonlighting: 148 Great Ways to Make Money to the Side."
  The information from the US Labor Department shows that 40 percent of US moonlighters in 1997 took a second job to meet household expenses or pay off debts. Others save money or buy some special things.
  People also take second jobs with an eye to the future - wanting to try out a new field or gain experience.
  Michel started moonlighting when medical systems were unstable (不稳定的). He wanted to make sure he wasn't tied to one system that ended up failing.
  Just as the purposes for moonlighting vary, the moonlighters cross all age and racial groups. And they work in a variety of industries - no longer just service, office and sale jobs.
  “Technology just affects your ability to make money,” Hausman says. "That makes a frequent change in moonlighting."
  As its name means, moonlighting still occurs mostly at night. And that results in some pressures. Chief among them is time.
  Full-time employers could misunderstand, too. Some companies do not allow after-hour work because they fear it will affect their employees' 9-to-5 performance.
  "The primary employer is saying, ‘Wait, I'm paying you for the sharp, fresh, energetic you,’” says Tom Gimbel, president and founder of LaSalle Staffing in Chicago. "If you' re burning yourself at both ends, it's going to show."
  Still, the good done to the moonlighters can be great. Besides extra income, moonlighters enjoy variety, freedom and chance to do something new. They also may find their part-time jobs strengthen what they do full time.
  Besides, "it's fun," Michel says. Not only do his part-time jobs offer a chance to network, stretch his professional skills and make more money, but they also give him the variety he wouldn't find just in a full-time job.
  "It' s a way of pulling from the spice cabinet" he says, "and offering a little variety throughout the day."
60. What is the article mainly about?
  A. The ways of moonlighting.
  B. The reasons for moonlighting.
  C. The problems with moonlighting.
  D. The kinds of people who moonlight.
61. The reason why Fred Michel began to moonlight is that ________.
  A. he found it exciting to do a part-time job
  B. he needed to make ends meet with more money
  C. he feared he would lose his present job one day
  D. he felt more and more pressure from his employer
62. Some companies don't allow their workers to moonlight because they are afraid ________.
  A. their workers can not do extra-hour work for them
  B. their workers will be too tired to try their best at work
  C. their workers will one day turn to some other different jobs
  D. their workers will not get to work and be off work on time
63. The underlined sentence "It's a way of pulling from the spice cabinet." in the last paragraph means _________.
  A. moonlighting gets you away from the job you don' t enjoy
  B. moonlighting offers you freedom to make extra money
  C. moonlighting strengthens your professional skills
D. moonlighting brings you chances to do something different
