    We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. "Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?" "When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck? “And Paul, why didn't pick up that he was friendly just because I had a car?" When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it's too late.
    Why do we go wrong about our friends—or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don't really listen we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, "You're a lucky dog, "and that's being friendly. But "lucky dog"? There's a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn't see it himself. But bringing in the "dog" bit puts you down a little, what he may be saying is that he doesn't think you deserve your luck.
    "Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for" is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn't important. It's telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven't got a date for Saturday night.
    How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.
    62. This passage is mainly about ______.
    A. how to interpret what people say
    B. what to do when you listen to others talking
    C. why we go wrong with people and how to avoid these mistakes
    D. why we go wrong with people sometimes
    63. According to the author, the reason why we go wrong about our friends is that       .
    A. we fail to listen carefully when they talk  
    B. we tend to doubt what our friends say
    C. people tend to be annoyed when we check what they say
    D. people usually state one thing but mean another.
    64. The underlined word "it" in the second paragraph refers to______.
    A. being friendly   B. a bit of envy    C. lucky dog               D. your luck
    65. When we listen to a person talking, the most important thing for us to do is     __.
    A. notice the way the person is talking
    B. take a good look at the person talking
    C. mind his tone, his posture and the look in his eyes
    D. examine the real meaning of what he says based on his manner, his tone and his posture
    66. The author is most probably a ______.
    A. teacher     B. psychologist   C. philosopher    D. doctor

    第一节：阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
    On a visit to my home state, I had a chance to drive through Cazenovia, a village on the shores of Lake Cazenovia. It seemed to me as if in a dream. I saw again the lakeshore meadow(草地)that has always remained an unforgettable part of my childhood memory. It was the place of family picnics（野炊）.
    It was Grandma who had made it a rule to have the annual（每年的) outing. She had made known her wish that the family should meet each summer when travel was easier and eat together in the open air. It was her pleasure to have all her children, and their children, gather in the meadow, and spend the day eating, singing, playing, chatting, making jokes.
    After so many years, I can still see her in my mind, a large figure, dressed in black although it was summer, seated under the shade of a large tree. The others spread around her, sitting on blankets on the grass. Despite(尽管) the joy, the family picnic was also a time of puzzlement(迷惑) for me. Who was this stranger in black with whom I could not speak?
    What I knew of my grandmother, I heard from my mother: she believed in good food on the table. She knew you are what you eat and she loved America for all kinds of foods it provided to people like her, who, back in her home country, had been used to a simple life, with so little food.
    We were about fifty kin (家族成员)gathered in that meadow, living proof of the family progress. Grandma’s sons and daughters all offered her services, goods and children. And yet, despite the good times and good food and the happy chatting people, I still felt a sense of strangeness. When I asked my mother why Grandma looked so strange and never spoke to us, I was told that Grandma’s home country was in Europe and she didn’t speak our language. In my eyes, she might as well have been from Mars(火星). I never remember hearing our own mother speak to her mother, although she must have. I only remember my shock at mother’s sadness when Grandma died. Was she crying for the silence that had existed like a wall between them?......
    36. Whom does the underlined words “their children”  refer to?
    A. The writer’s children            B. Grandma’s children
    C. Grandma’s grandchildren        D. All the children in the family
    37. Which of the following was a cause that made Grandma a “stranger” to the writer?
    A. Grandma loved all kinds of good foods in America.
    B. Grandma started the tradition of the annual gathering.
    　 C. Grandma spoke a language different from the writer’s.
    D. Grandma enjoyed the family gathering every summer.
    38. What does the writer mean by “living proof of the family progress?
    A. The writer’s family were having a good time.
    B. The writer’s family were having a modern life.
    C. Life had improved a lot for the writer’s family.
    D. The size of the writer’s family had grown greatly.
    39.Why might Grandma have been from mars in the writer’s eyes?
    A. Because Grandma acted very strangely.
    B. Because the writer never heard Grandma speak to Mother.
    C. Because Grandma was deaf.
    D. Because Grandma liked to keep silent.
    40. What would be the best title for the text?
    A. My Memories of Grandma.      B. The life of a Strange Woman.
    C. A Visit to My Native Village.     D. An Unforgettable Family Picnic.

    Brazil has become one of the developing world' s great successes in reducing population
    growth but more by accident than design. While countries such as India have made joint efforts
    to reduce birth rates, Brazil has had better result without really trying, says George Martine at
    Harvard.
    Brazil' s population growth rate has dropped from 2. 99% a year between 1951 and 1960 to
    1.93% a year between 1981 and 1990, and Brazilian women now have only 2. 7 children on
    average. Martine says this figure may have fallen still further since 1990, an achievement that
    makes it the envy of many other Third World countries.
    According to Martine, both soap operas and instalment(分期付款) plans played an important role in lowering the birth rate. Brazil is one of the world' s biggest producers of soap operas. Global, Brazil' s most popular television network, shows three hours of soaps six nights a week, while three others show at least one hour a night. Most soaps are based on wealthy
    characters living the high life in big cities.
    "They described that middle and upper class values not many children and women
    working. They influenced all parts of Brazil. " says Martine
    Meanwhile，the instalment plans tired to encourage he poor to become consume（消费者）.
    “This led  to a  great change  in  consumption  patterns  and  consumption  went against  unlimited reproduction (生育)." says Martine.
    53.  Brazil has cut its  population ，growth____.
    A. by education    B.  by family plan   C. by TV program   D. by chance
    54.  Some Third World countries
    A. have paid little attention to birth control
    B. would soon join Brazilin controlling their birth rate.
    C. haven't succeeded in controlling the population
    D. didn't realize the role of TV plays  in  family  planning
    55.  Soap operas have helped to lower Brazil's birth  rate  because____.
    A. they keep people sitting long hour watching TV
    B. they have gradually changed people's way of life
    C. people are interested in the stories
    D. they make birth control popular
    56. What is Martine's conclusion about Brazil's population growth?
    A. The rising in birth rate will increase consumption.
    B. The desire for consumption helps to reduce birth rate.
    C. consumption has nothing to do with reproduction.
    D. Soap operas can always lead to low birth rate.

    Recently, one of my best friends, whom I’ve shared just about everything with since the first day of kindergarten, spent the weekend with me. Since I moved to a new town several years ago, we’ve both always looked forward to the few times a year when we can see each other.
    Over the weekend, we spent hours and hours, staying up late into the night, talking about the people she was hanging around with. She started telling me stories about her new boyfriend, about how he experimented with drugs and was into other self-destructive behavior. I was blown away! She told me how she had been lying to her parents about where she was going and even stealing out to see this guy because they didn’t want her around him. No matter how hard I tried to tell her that she deserved better, she didn’t believe me. Her self-respect seemed to have disappeared.
    I tried to convince her that she was ruining her future and heading for big trouble. I felt like I was getting nowhere. I just couldn’t believe that she really thought it was acceptable to hang with a bunch of losers, especially her boyfriend.
    By the time she left, I was really worried about her and exhausted by the experience. It had been so frustrating, I had come close to telling her several times during the weekend that maybe we had just grown too far apart to continue our friendship，but I didn’t. I put the power of friendship to the final test. We’d been friends for far too long. I had to hope that she valued me enough to know that I was trying to save her from hurting herself. I wanted to believe that our friendship could conquer anything.
    A few days later, she called to say that she had thought long and hard about our conversation, and then she told me that she had broken up with her boyfriend. I just listened on the other end of the phone with tears of joy running down my face. It was one of the truly rewarding moments in my life. Never had I been so proud of a friend.
