    3．About a year ago，a couple with three children moved into the apartment next door to me．I never heard any noise from the children，but the parents were always yellingat them．
       We often met，I always spoke，but the only answer I ever got was a hello from a four-year-old girl．One day when I returned，they were just coming back to their apartment and the little girl was holding the door in the hall open for the others．I remained in the car doing unnecessary things．The parents were telling her to hurry．I looked up and saw the little girl was still holding the door open，waiting for me．I hurried as much as I could and thanked her．She was smiling from ear to ear．
    That afternoon I was at the K-Mart and saw a white teddy bear．I thought of the little girl and said to myself，‘I bet she would like it．'So I bought it for her．
    The next day there was a knock on the door and it was the little girl and her father．She was so proud of her bear and thanked me．Then I noticed her mother and the other children were there in the hall，too．
    Now when we meet in the hall，we all speak in a friendly manner．Last night we had about four inches of snow．The temperature was below zero．When I opened the outside door，there was my car with all the snow removed．The man next door was the only person I knew in the whole building，so when I saw him the next day，I asked him if he was the nice person that removed the snow．He said NO．He wanted to，but his wife said she wanted to do it．
    Isn't it amazing that the small kind act of a four-year-old girl can change so many things for the better？
    61．Why did the author do unnecessary things in his car？A
    A．He did not wanted to be embarrassed．
    B．He did not know how to kill time．

    分析 一年前我家隔壁来了一家人，我们经常在走廊遇到，我总是向他们问候，但我得到的唯一的回答就是一个8岁小女孩的"你好"．这些年来，因为我的腿病我通常外出去看医生．一天当我从医院回来的时候，看到小女孩在为别人开外面的门．我在车上整理不必要的东西，就是为了避开他们的冷落．这时听到她的父母喊她让她快点上车，我才知道小女孩仍开着门等我．一天下雪，我怀疑没有车怎么去看医生，因为我只能步行一小会，然后不得不休息一会．令我吃惊的是，我的车上完全没有雪，小女孩在拿着笤帚扫雪．

    解答 61．A．细节理解题．根据文章第二段"I remained in the car doing unnecessary things．The parents were telling her to hurry．I looked up and saw the little girl was still holding the door open，waiting for me．I hurried as much as I could and thanked her"可知作者不过去是因为与他们不熟悉怕尴尬；故选A．
    62．B．细节理解题．根据文章第二段"That afternoon I was at the K-Mart and saw a white teddy bear．I thought of the little girl and said to myself，‘I bet she would like it．'So I bought it for her"可知我给小女孩买泰迪熊是为了感谢她；故选B．
    63．C．词义推断题．根据文章第一段"About a year ago，a couple with three children moved into the apartment next door to me．I never heard any noise from the children，but the parents were always yellingat them"可知作者没有听过女孩说话但总能听见她父母冲她大喊；故选C．
    64．C．推理判断题．根据文章第三段"When I opened the outside door，there was my car with all the snow removed"可知作者车子旁的雪被清扫干净了，女孩为作者带来了感动；故选C．
    65．B．通读全文，可知文章主要讲了作者与邻居都不熟悉，然而一位邻居女孩打破了这个主动等待作者，作者也回以感激，这使得作者同邻居的关系改善，告诉我们人们应该友好和互相沟通；故选B．

    点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力，做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．

    13．A decades-old tradition，illustrated in a modem children's book，links the sweetness of honey with the joy of learning to read．
    The grandpa held a jar of honey so that all the family could see．He then dipped a spoon into it and put some honey on the cover of a small book．
    The little girl had just turned five．Stand up，little one，"he asked the girl softly．"I did this for your mother，your uncles，your
    old brother，and now you!"

    This is the beginning of a profoundly moving children's book entitled Thank You，Mr．Falker．
    In this book，Patricia Polacco writes of her own passion to read，inspired by the honey on the book．It wasn't until fifth grade that she met her beloved teacher who provided the help that she needed to finally unlock the magic of the written world．

    11．Sadness is unpleasant，and in a society where personal happiness is prized above all else，there is little tolerance for falling in despair．Especially now we've got drugs for getting rid of sad feelings-whether it's after losing a job，the break-up of a relationship or the death of a loved one．So it's no surprise that more and more people are taking them．
    But is this really such a good idea？A growing number of voices from the world of mental health research are saying it isn't．They fear that the increasing tendency to treat normal sadness as a disease is playing fast and loose．Sadness，they argue，serves a useful purpose-and if we lose it，we lose out．Yet many psychiatrists insist not．Sadness has a nasty habit of turning into depression they warn．Even when people are sad for good reason，they should take drugs to make themselves feel better．
    So who is right？Is sadness something we cannot live without or something horrible never to touch？
    There are lots of ideas about why feeling sad should become part of human life．It may be a kind of self-protection，as other primates （灵长类） also show signs of sadness．A losing monkey that doesn't show sadness after it loses a fight may be seen as continuing to challenge the winning monkey-and that could result in death．
    In humans sadness has a further function：we may display sadness as a form of communication．By acting sad，we tell other community members that we need support．
    Then there is the idea that creativity is connected to dark moods．There are plenty of great artists，writers and musicians who have suffered from depression or disorder．Scientists found that people with signs of depression performed better at a creative task，and negative moods make people think deeply over the unhappy experience，which allows creative processes to come to the front．There is also evidence that too much happiness can be bad for your career．A doctor found that people who scored 8 out of 10 on a happiness test were more successful in income and education than 9s or 10s．The happiest people lose their willingness to make changes to their lives that may benefit them．
    53．The underlined word"this"refers toA．
    A．taking medicine                                  
    B．falling in despair    
    C．losing a job                                       
    D．feeling sad
    54． The author believes sadness isC．
    A．a good thing for people's health         
    B．something horrible never to touch
    C．a necessary function of humans'
    D．always to be treated as depression
    55．Some animals show their sadness in order toB．
    A．cheat their enemy                      
    B．protect themselves 
    C．comfort the loser                      
    D．challenge the winner
    56．We can infer from the last paragraph thatB．
    A．people with great creativity tend to be happier   
    B．unhappy experiences contribute to a greater career
    C．too much happiness can be bad for your career
    D．the happiest people are the most successful ones．

    Over the next six months，I was busy working in a news agency in northern Nigeria．Sometime after I returned，I went out for a drive．When I was about to pull over，the boy suddenly appeared by my window with a big smile ready on his face．
    "Oh，gosh!Long time．"
    "Are you in school now？"I asked．He nodded．"That's good，"I said．A silence fell as we looked at each other，and then I realized what he wanted．"Here，"I held out a 500naira bill．"Take this．"He shook his head and stepped back as if hurt．"What's wrong？"I asked．"It's a gift．"He shook his head again and brought his hand from behind his back．His face shone with sweat．He dropped a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts in the front seat before he said，"I've been waiting to give these to you．"

    Woolworth realized he had a natural skill for showing goods to attract people's interest，but he soon learned something more important．One day his boss told him to sell some odds and ends （小商品 ） for as much as he could get．Frank put all these things on one table with a sign which said FIVE CENTS EACH．People fought and pushed to buy the things and the table was soon cleared．
    Soon afterwards，Woolworth opened his own store．，selling goods at five and ten cents．But he had another lesson to learn before he became successful．That is，if you want to make money by selling low-price goods，you have to buy them in large quantities directly form the factories．Once，for example，Woolworth went to Germany and placed an order for knives．The order was so large that the factory had to keep running 24 hours a day for a whole year．In this way，the price of the knives was cut down by half．
