    　　Tell a story and tell it well, and you may open wide the eyes of a child, open up lines of communication in a business, or even open people's mind to another culture or race．

    　　People in many places are digging up(挖掘)the old folk stories and the messages in them．For example, most American storytellers get their stories from a wide variety of cultures and times．They think storytelling is not only a useful tool in child education, but also a meaningful activity that helps adults understand themselves as well as those whose culture may be very different from their own．

    　　“Most local stories are based on a larger theme(主题)”．American storyteller Opalanga Pugh says, “Cinderella, or the central idea of a good child protected by her goodness, appears in various forms in almost every culture of the world．”

    　　Working with students in school, Pugh helps them understand their own cultures and the general messages of the stories．She works with prisoners(囚犯)too, helping them know who they are by telling stories that her listeners can write, direct, and act in their own lives．If they don't like the story they are living they can rewrite the story．Pugh also works to help open up lines of communication between managers and workers．“For every step forward in business,” she says, “there is a greater need for communication．” Storytelling can have a great effect on either side of the manager＝worker relationship, she says．

    　　Pugh spent several years in Nigeria, where she learned how closely storytelling was linked to the everyday life of the people there．The good points of storytelling are found everywhere, she says．

    　　“I learned how people used stories to spread their culture,” she says．“What I do is to focus on the value of stories that people can translate into their own daily life．We all have a story to tell．We tell everybody's story．”

    阅读理解。
         We can achieve knowledge either actively or passively (被动地). We achieve it actively by direct
    experience, by testing and proving an idea, or by reasoning.
         We achieve knowledge passively by being told by someone else. Most of the learning that takes place
    in the classroom and the kind that happens when we watch TV or read newspapers or magazines is
    passive. If we achieve knowledge by passive learning, it's not surprising that we depend on it in our
    everyday communication with friends and co-workers.
         Unfortunately, passive learning has a serious problem. It makes us tend to accept what we are told
    even when it is little more than hearsay and rumor (谣言).
         Did you ever play the game Rumor? It begins when one person writes down a message but doesn't
    show it to anyone. Then the person whispers it, word for word, to another person. That person, in turn,
    whispers it to still another, and so on, through all the people playing the game. The last person writes
    down the message word for word as he or she hears it. Then the two written statements are compared.
    Typically, the original message has changed.
         That's what happens in daily life. The simple fact that people repeat a story in their own words
    changes the story. Then, too, most people listen imperfectly. And many enjoy adding their own creative
    touch to a story, trying to improve on it, stamping (打上标记) it with their own personal style. Yet those
    who hear it think they know.
         This process is also found among scholars and writers: A statement of opinion by one writer may be
    re-stated as fact by another, who may in turn be quoted by yet another; and this process may continue,
    unless it happens to someone to question the facts.
    1. According to the passage, passive learning may occur in _______.
    A. doing a medical experiment
    B. solving a math problem
    C. visiting an exhibition
    D. doing scientific reasoning
    2. The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2 refers to _____.
    A. active learning
    B. knowledge
    C. communication
    D. passive learning
    3. The writer mentions the game Rumor to show that _____.
    A. a message may be changed when being passed on
    B. a message should be delivered in different ways
    C. people may have problems with their sense of hearing
    D. people tend not to believe in what they know as rumor
    4. What can we infer from the passage?
    A. Active learning is less important.
    B. Passive learning may not be reliable.
    C. Active learning happens more often.
    D. Passive learning is not found among writers.

         Once there was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails (钉子) and
    told him that every time he lost his temper (脾气), he must hammer (用锤敲打) a nail into the back of
    the fence (栅栏). The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as
    he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually (逐渐地) dwindled down.
    He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence. Finally the day
    came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that
    the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the
    young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the
    hand and led him to the fence. He said, "You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence.
    The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one, You
    can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won't matter how many times you say I'm sorry, the wound is
    still there. A verbal wound is as bad as a physical (身体的) one." As William Arthur Ward once said,
    "It is wise to direct your anger towards problems not people, to focus your energies on answers not
    excuses. "
    1.  When the boy lost his temper, he must    ___    as his father told him.
    A. break some plates and glasses
    B. pull out one nail of the back of the fence
    C. hammer a nail into the back of the fence
    2.  Underlined expression dwindled down means     __    .
    A. become gradually smaller
    B. become gradually larger
    C. get more and more
    3. When the boy finally told his father that all the nails were gone, his father    ___   .
    A. took him to the fence and look at the holes
    B. asked him to pull out one nail of the back of the fence
    C. asked him to focus your energies on excuses
    4. Which of the following about the boy is WRONG
    A. The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence.
    B. The boy found it was easier to drive nails into the fence than to hold his temper.
    C.  The number of nails hammered daily became smaller and smaller.
    5. We can infer from the passage that     _       .
    A. the boy still had a bad temper at last
    B. the boy began to know a verbal wound was nothing serious
    C. the boy learnt to how to control his temper and settle the problems
