    When someone gives you advice, listen without judgment, try to find value in what you’re hearing, and say: “Thank you”. This wise advice is easy to understand yet hard to practice. I’ll give you an example from my life when I totally blew it in terms of practising what I teach.

    In my work I travel constantly. I always put off going to the airport until the last second. My wife, Lyda, was sitting next to me in the front seat. I was racing along and not paying much attention. Lyda cried out! “Look out! There is a red light up ahead.”

    Being a trained behavioral science professional—who teaches others the value of encouraging advice—I naturally screamed at her: “I know there is a red light up ahead! Don’t you think I can see?” When we arrived at the airport, Lyda didn’t speak to me. I wondered why she seemed mad at me.

    During the flight to New York, I did a cost-benefit analysis. I asked myself: “What was the cost of just listening when Lyda called out the warning? Zero.” I then reasoned: “What was the potential benefit? What could have been saved?” Several potential benefits came to mind, including her life, my life, and the lives of other people.

    During my second year of college, I was looking around for a place to live. One Sunday after church, the pastor(牧师) told me to stay in his daughter’s room because his daughter was studying abroad for one year.[来源:学*科*网Z*X*X*K]

        To be  36  , I really didn’t want to stay with “the pastor’s family”. He told me how much the  37  would be---a very low figure that  38 one home-cooked meal a day. I thought about the  39 and decided to move in.

        At the end of the term I had planned to find   40  living place, since the daughter was to  41  home. To my delight, they  42  that I share a room with their son. I seemed to have been adopted into their  43  ----their people became my people. I   44  accepted the offer.

        As I emptied the daughter’s bedroom, I thought it might be  45  to have a little sister to look after. But when I later met my new sister, I  46 that she was more independent than I first  47 .

       We finally fell in love,  48  , and have looked after each other for many years. There have been times that life turned out more  49  than either of us could have known. But we have always been able to go  50  largely because we knew that we are deeply   51  .

       It isn’t about marriage… It’s about  52  . It’s about mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers and special friends who are as  53  as family. It’s about anybody who can say, “I’ll be  54   ----you can count on me. I’ll try to look after you and sometimes I will need you to look after me.[来源:Z§xx§k.Com]

       Is there somebody you can depend on?  And are others counting on you? We travel the path of life best when there is  55  to look after, and when someone is looking after us.

    第一节  回答问题（共3小题；每小题2分，满分6分）

    阅读下面短文，根据第58至第60小题的具体要求，尽可能简要回答问题，并将答案转写到答题卡上。

    If you do not use your arm or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong. If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame, and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can’t read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things; they cannot write down in a little notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised. So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: Practice remembering.

    58. What is the main reason for one is poor memory? (回答词数不超过8个)

    59. What will happen if you do not use your arms or legs for some time? (回答词数不超过5个)

    60. What is the best title for this passage? (回答词数不超过6个)

    第四部分: 阅读理解（共15小题，满分30分）

    阅读下列三篇短文，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。

    It is important for Americans to thank other people for favors even if what the other person did was very small. Both children and older people should be thanked for any kind act. The person accepting the thanks usually says something to make the favor seem small, or says that it was his pleasure to help you, or simply, “ You’re welcome.”

    It is equally important to apologize when you have hurt or disappointed someone. When possible, you should always add a reasonable explanation or excuse for your behavior. When there is some loss or damage to personal property(财产), the person responsible(负责) for the loss should both apologize and offer to pay for the item.

    Most of the time the other person accepts the apology graciously and doesn’t show any disappointment or anger. But if the problem was really serious or it happened several times before, the person might say something how he feels.

    56. It is necessary to thank a person who is _____ for any kind act.

    A. older than you         B. younger than you

    58. When you apologize for something, you should ____.

    always remember to say it is not your fault.

    try to explain the reason for your actions.

    add an excuse even if it is not a good one.

    “Mum, what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton (骨骼) in the closet (衣橱)？”Jessica asked. “A skeleton in the closet?” her mother paused thoughtfully, “Well, it’s something that you would rather not have anyone else know about. For example, if in the past, someone in Dad’s family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be ‘a skeleton in his family’s closet’. He really wouldn’t want any neighbor to know about it.”

    “Why pick on my family?” Jessica’s father said with anger. “Your family history isn’t so good, you know. Wasn’t you great – great grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes?” “Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners.” “Gosh, sorry I asked. I think I understand now,” Jessica cut in before things grew worse.

    After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessica’s parents were still quite angry with each other. Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica’s closet. Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor. Jessica’s mother sank into a faint (晕倒), waking only when Jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.

    “What happened? Where am I?” she asked. “You just destroyed the school’s skeleton, Mum,” explained Jessica. “I brought it home to help me with my health project. I meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad.” Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. “They’re both crazy,” she thought.

    1.According to Jessica’s mother, “a skeleton in the closet” means         .

        A．a family honor                   B．a family secret     

        C．a family story                   D．a family treasure

    2.What can we learn about some Australian’s ancestors from Paragraph 2?______.

        A．They were brought to Australia as prisoners.

        B．They were the earliest people living in Australia.

        C．They were involved in some crimes in Australia.

        D．They were not regarded as criminals in their days.

    3.Jessica’s mother fell down into a faint because she was          .

        A．knocked      B．frightened         C．injured        D．surprised

    4.Why did Jessica bring a skeleton home? _________.

        A．She was curious about it.           B．She planned to keep it for fun.

        C．She needed it for her school task.  D．She intended to scare her parents.

    5.Jessica’s parents laughed madly at the end of the story probably because        .

        A．they were crazy                    

        B．they were overexcited

        C．they realized their misunderstanding

        D．they both thought they had won the quarrel
