15.One winter evening,a storekeeper was going to close up  his shop.Suddenly he saw Seth,a lazy,good-for-nothing fellow grasp a pound of fresh butter and hid it in his hat.No sooner had the storekeeper seen the act than he hit upon exactly the right revenge(报复).He would punish the thief,and satisfy his own appetite for fun.
Seth had his hat on his head,and the butter in his hat.He was anxious to leave.However,the rightful owner of the butter offered him a cup of hot drink,took him by the shoulders and planted him in a seat close to the stove.The grocer filled in the stove as many sticks of wood as he could.Seth already could feel the butter settling down closer to his hair,so he jumped up,declaring that he must go."Sit down; don't be in such a hurry,"replied the grocer,pushing him back into the chair again.
Streak after streak of the butter came pouring from under the poor man's hat.The fun-loving grocer kept on putting wood into the stove.Then,as if surprised,he remarked,"You seem to be sweating as if you were warm!Let me put your hat away for you."
"No!"exclaimed poor Seth at last,unable to stand it a moment longer."No,I must go; let me out."A greasy (油腻的) waterfall of butter was now pouring down the poor man's face and neck,dipping into his clothes,and trickling down his body into his boots.He was bathed in oil from head to toe.Just as Seth rushed out of the door,the grocer said,"I believe the fun I've had out of you is worth the money,so I shan't charge you for that pound of butter in your hat."

56.Why did Seth put the butter in his hat?A
A.Because he didn't want to pay for it.
B.Because he just wanted to play a trick on the grocer.
C.Because he wanted to revenge himself on the grocer.
D.Because he had nowhere to put the butter but in the hat.

A.He wanted to be kind to him.
B.He wanted to sell more of his goods.
C.He wanted to make friends with Seth
D.He wanted to take his revenge on Seth by making the butter in his hat melt.
59.What is the best title of the passage?B

A popular saying goes, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” However, that’s not really true. Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn’t matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves — the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.

We all talk to ourselves sometimes. We’re usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. In fact, we really shouldn’t be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.

This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying “Good job!”

Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. Or harsh (刻薄的) and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.

Words possess power because of their lasting effects. Many of us regret something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it true? Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid.

Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem (自尊) and motivate others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.

1.There is no need for us to feel embarrassed when we talk to ourselves because _________.

A.almost everybody has the habit of talking to themselves

B.talking to ourselves always gives us courage

C.we can benefit from talking to ourselves

D.it does no harm to have “self-talk” when we are alone

2.The underlined part in the third paragraph means that we should also timely ________.

A.remind ourselves B.praise ourselves

C.make ourselves relaxed D.give ourselves amusement

3.The author would probably hold the view that _________.

A.encouraging words are sure to lead to kind offers

B.negative words may motivate us to make more progress

C. people tend to remember friendly words

D.it is better to think twice before talking to others

4.In which column of the newspaper can you most likely read this passage?

A.News. B.Advice column. C.Health. D.Language.

I was the oldest of five children back in the 60’s.We lived in a nice little three-bedroom bungalow(平房)in Michigan.Mom and Dad worked so hard, yet always found the time to spend with us.The only place they could take five active children to was the drive-in(汽车影院)movies!

We always looked forward to going to the drive-in! Mom would fill a big bag with home-made popcorn.On the way there, Dad would make a special stop at the penny candy store, where we were all allowed to fill a little brown bag with all kinds of penny candy.We were so excited, as we carried our treasures back to the car, knowing we couldn’t eat it until the car-toon began.

We would get there early, so that we could play on the playground, right under the big screen.As soon as it started to get dark, the screen lit up, and we would race bake to the car to get our candy.

There were always two cartoons playing before the movie , like Felix the Cat, The Coyote, and Tom and Jerry. But what was just as exciting was the ticking clock advertisement for the refreshment stand, with dancing hot dogs, candy and ice cream.That came on right before the movie.It was all that five kids could hope for, and by then, stay awake for.

We would get home around 2 am, pretty late for us.Mom helped us drag ourselves and our pillows to our beds and dad carried in the little ones.

I was disappointed the day they closed the last drive-in in our town.It will always hold special memories for us—those days of penny candy.

A. Hot dogs B. Ice cream.

C. Hamburgers. D. Popcorn and candy.

2.What does the underlined phrase “our treasures” in the second paragraph refer to?

A. Mom and dad. B. The penny candy.

C. Favorite cartoons. D. Homemade popcorn.

3.What was the last show before the movie?

A. Felix the Cat. B. Tom and Jerry.

C. The dancing hot dogs. D. The ticking clock advertisement.

4.What do we know about the author?
