"Well,he workman answered."you remember the house we were repairing in Nebraska last week,don't you?One of the things we had to do there was to put in some new electrical wires.Well,in one place we had to pass some wires through a pipe thirty feet long and about an inch across,which was built into solid stone and had four big bends in it.None of us could think how to do this until I had a good idea.I went to a shop and bought two white mice.One of them was male and the other female.Then I tied a thread to the body of the male mouse and put him into the pipe at one end.while Bill held the female mouse at the other end and pressed her gently to make her squeak (尖叫).When the male mouse heard the female mouse's squeaks,rushed along the pipe to help her.I suppose he was a gentleman even though he was only a mouse.Anyway,as he ran through the pipe,pulled the thread behind him.It was then quite easy for us to tie one end of the thread to the electrical wires and pull them through the pipe."

分析 本文叙述了一家公司的老板收到一个员工买老鼠的账单,于是问明了原因.原来他们公司在维修房子时,需要在一个长30米宽1英寸的管子里穿过新电线,但是大家不知怎么穿过.于是这个员工想到在老鼠身上系一根线,让老鼠从中间穿过,这样老鼠就把这个根线穿过了管子.在这根线上系上电线,就容易把电线穿过这个管子.

解答 60.答案是C.推理判断题,根据句子He sent for the workman and asked him why he had had the bill sent to the company.他派人去请工人,问他为什么把账单送到公司,可以推断出经理对于这个账单有问题是不是送错了,所以答案选C.
61.答案是A.细节理解题,从第二段工人的话中可以看出他们公司在维修房子时,需要在一个长30米宽1英寸的管子里穿过新电线,但是大家不知怎么穿过.于是这个员工想到在老鼠身上系一根线,让老鼠从中间穿过,这样老鼠就把这个根线穿过了管子.在这根线上系上电线,就容易把电线穿过这个管子,可以看出买这两只老鼠是为了解决工作的困难,所以答案选A.
62.答案是B.细节理解题,When the male mouse heard the female mouse's squeaks,rushed along the pipe to help her.雄性老鼠听到雌性老鼠的叫声,冲进管道帮助她,这样电线就穿过这个管子了,所以答案选B.
63.答案是D.推理判断题,通过工人的描述,这两只老鼠完全是为了工作而买来的,而且在这个工作中起到了很大的作用,可以推断这个账单经理是为付款的,所以答案选D.

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.

18.The young boy saw me,or rather,he saw the car and quickly ran up to me,eager to sell his bunches of bananas and bags of peanuts.Though he appeared to be about twelve,he seemed to have already known the bitterness of life."Bananas 300naira.Peanuts 200naira."He said in a low voice.I bargained him down to 200total for the fruit and nuts.When he agreed,I handed him a 500naira bill.He didn't have change,so I told him not to worry.He said thanks and smiled a row of perfect teeth.
When,two weeks later,I saw the boy again,I was more aware of my position in a society where it's not that uncommon to see a little boy who should be in school standing on the corner selling fruit in the burning sun.My parents had raised me to be aware of the advantage we had been afforded and the responsibility it brought to us.I pulled over and rolled down my window.He had a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts ready.I waved them away."What's up?"I asked him."I …I don't have money to buy books for school."I reached into my pocket and handed him two fresh 500naira bills."Will this help?"I asked.He looked around nervously before taking the money.One thousand naira was a lot of money to someone whose family probably made about 5,000naira or less each year."Thank you,sir,"he said."Thank you very much!"
When driving home,I wondered if my little friend actually used the money for schoolbooks.What if he's a swindler?And then I wondered why I did it.Did I do it to make myself feel better?Was I using him?Later,I realized that I didn't know his name or the least bit about him,nor did I think to ask.
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."

B.the boy had suffered a lot
C.the boy was in bad need of money

15.Frank Woolworth was born in Rodman,New York.,in 1852.His family were very poor farmers,and there was never enough to eat.Frank decided he did not want to be farmer.He took a short business course,and went to work as a salesman in a large city.
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.
By 1919,Woolworth had over 1000 stores in the US and Canada,and opened his first store in London.He made many millions and his name became famous throughout the world.He always run his business according to strict rules,of which the most important was:"THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT."
