A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door. “Daddy, may I ask you a question?” “Yeah sure, what is it?” replied the man. “Daddy, how much do you make an hour?” “That’s none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?” the man said angrily. “I just want to know. Please tell me. How much do you make an hour?” pleaded the little boy. “If you must know, I make $20 an hour.” “Oh,” the little boy replied, with his head down. Looking up, he said, “Daddy, may I please borrow $10?”
The father was furious, “If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I don’t work hard every day for such childish behavior.” The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy’s questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money? About an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think: maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10 and he really didn’t ask for money very often.
The man went to the door of the little boy’s room and opened the door. “Are you asleep, son?” He asked. “No daddy, I’m awake,” replied the boy. “I’ve been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier,” said the man. “It’s been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here’s the $10 you asked for.”
The little boy sat straight up, smiling. “Oh, thank you, daddy!” he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy counted out his money, then looked up at his father. “Why do you want more money if you already have some?” the father grumbled. “Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do,” the little boy replied. “Daddy, I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.”
64.When the boy asked his father how much he earned an hour, his father _______.
A. was very happy B. answered him immediately
C. was not willing to tell him D. didn’t tell him at all
65. Before the boy borrowed his father’s money, he had already saved ______.
A. $5 B. $10 C. $15 D. $20
66. At first, the boy’s father _______ his son.
A. knew what to do about B. was anxious about
C. didn’t care about D. misunderstood
67. From the text we can infer that the boy ______.
A. wanted to save more money B. loved his father very much
C. hated his father D. didn’t want his father to work

I worked for a short time as a cashier(出纳员)at a restaurant a few months ago. 71 One night, just before Christmas, I found a large black wallet on the floor near one of the tables. I guess I should have checked it to find out who was the owner, but I was busy at the time. Also, I imagined that if the wallet contained anything valuable, the owner would be back.
An hour later a man came up to the counter(柜台). 72 I asked him to describe the lost wallet, and after he described it exactly, I gave him the wallet. He expressed his sincere thanks when I handed it to him. He asked me if I had opened it, and when I told him “ No”, he opened it right away and showed that it contained nearly $800 in cash (现金). 73
“A reward for your honesty,” he said and then turned and walked away.
74 I began wondering whether I would have been so honest if I had known what was in the wallet! I thought that if there had been no way to find the owner and no one had returned to claim(认领)it, I might have kept it. But it also came into my mind that I had in fact saved someone’s Christmas plans by finding and returning the wallet. 75 The good feeling it gave me was worth more than anything money could buy.
A. He looked quite worried and asked if anyone had found a wallet.
B. Later I thought about it again.
C. To my surprise, he took out a twenty–dollar bill and handed it to me.
D. So I didn’t return the wallet until the owner returned.
E. I wanted to be honest, so I didn’t care much about money.
F. I also helped clear off the tables when it was especially busy.
G. For quite a long time I kept happy whenever I thought about it.

Recently a man came to me, because he was told that there is fluid(积液) around his heart. After trying many drugs which were of no use to reduce the fluid, the doctor told him the only other choice was to have an operation. He refused because he knew that every illness has a mental cause and that if he had the operation but did not clear the mental cause, the fluid would return. At last, he searched the Internet to find a metaphysical healer(玄学治疗师), and he found me.
The mental cause of his disease was an experience of breaking up five years ago with several friends, whom he had known for over twenty years. This experience broke his heart. Not knowing how to “mend” his broken heart, his body created a “repair” by surrounding his heart with fluid to protect it from the sad feelings.
Our work focused on reminding him of the feelings of being loved and forgiving his friends. Months later, his hearts was mended and the fluid disappeared. He left my office after the final session with a smile on his face and a spring in his step.
The key is: to create a healthy body, you must be healthy not only in body, but also in mind.
To be mentally healthy, you need to build up strong relationships. Creating strong relationships will insure that you are accompanied by a network of loving persons. It is important for building a support system that lifts your spirits. Even when you are alone, you will not feel lonely or upset. Strong relationships are not spaceships——they are not hard to build.
In order to cure his illness, which of the following ways did the patient try?
?? taking many medicines ?? having an operation
?? seeing a metaphysical healer ?? visiting different doctors
A. ???? B. ???? C. ?????? D. ????????
The underlined word “It” in Paragraph5 refers to “________”.
A. a mentally healthy body B. a repaired heart
C. a network of loving persons D. a support system
What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Loving others will keep you in good spirits.
B. Heart illness can be cured without operation.
C. Creating strong relationships will keep you healthy.
D. Spiritual health is necessary for physical health.
Which of the following views may the writer agree to?
A. Old friendship is easy to lose. B. A good friendship is a useful medicine
C. The best doctor is your own body D. It needs many efforts to build relationships
If this passage is continued with another paragraph, what would it be probably about?
A. How to build strong relationships B. How to protect your heart
C. How to keep healthy mentally D. How to live a healthy life

I went shopping with my wife. We have a lot of things to buy. We drove to the center of the city and stopped our car in the front of the shop. An hour late, we came back to the car.
