    I had an experience some years ago, which taught me something about the ways in which people make a bad situation worse by blaming themselves. One January, I had to hold two funerals on successive days for two elderly women in my community. Both had died “ full of years”, as the Bible would say. Their homes happened to be near each other, so I paid condolence(吊唁) calls on the two families on the same afternoon.
    At the first home, the son of the deceased(已故的)woman said to me, “ If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. It’s my fault that she died.” At the second home, the son of the other deceased woman said, “ If only I hadn’t insisted on my mother’s going to Florida, she would be alive today.That long airplane ride, the sudden change of climate, was more than she could take. It’s my fault that she’s dead.”
    You see that any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course of action they took turned out bad, they believe that the opposite course—keeping Mother at home, putting off the operation—would have turned out better. After all, how could it have turned out any worse?
    There seem to be two elements involved in our willingness to feel guilty. The first is our pressing need to believe that the world makes sense, that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens that leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really exist and where they exist only in our minds.
    The second element is the view that we are the cause of what happens , especially the bad things that happen. It seems to be a short step from believing that every event has a cause to believe that every disaster is our fault. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood.
    A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and summons the rest of the world to its tasks. He cries, and someone comes to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him , and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we do not completely outgrow that childish view that our wishes cause things to happen.
    1. What is said about the two deceased elderly women?
    A. They lived out a natural life.
    B. They died of exhaustion after the long plane ride.
    C. They weren’t used to the change in weather.
    D. They died due to lack of care by family members.
    2. The author had to conduct the two women’s funerals probably because ______.
    A. he wanted to comfort the two families
    B. he was an official from the community
    C. he had great pity for the deceased
    D. he was minister of the local church
    3. People feel guilty for the deaths of their loved ones because _____.
    A. they couldn’t find a better way to express their sorrow
    B. they believe that they were responsible
    C. they had neglected the natural course of events
    D. they didn’t know things often turn in the opposite direction
    4. According to the passage, the underlined part in paragraph 4 probably means that_____.
    A. everything in the world is predetermined
    B. the world can be explained in different ways
    C. there is an explanation for everything in the world
    D. we have to be sensible in order to understand the world
    5. What’s the idea of the passage?
    A. Life and death is an unsolved mystery.
    B. Every story should have a happy ending.
    C. Never feel guilty all the time because not every disaster is our fault.
    D. In general, the survivors will feel guilty about the people who passed away.

    There was no possibility of taking a walk that day. We had been wandering, indeed, in the leafless shrubbery an hour in the morning; but since dinner ( Mrs. Reed, when there was no company, dined early) the cold winter wind had brought with it clouds so dark, and rain so likely to pour, that further outdoor exercise was now out of the question.
    I was glad of it. I never liked long walks, especially on cold afternoons. Awful to me was the coming home in the raw twilight, with nipped (冻伤的) fingers and toes, and a heart saddened by the scoldings of Bessie, the nurse, and humbled (贬低) by the consciousness of my physical inferiority to Eliza, John, and Georgiana Reed.
    Eliza, John, and Georgiana were now surrounding their mama in the drawing room; she lay on a sofa by the fireside, and with her darlings around her ( for the time neither quarrelling nor crying) looked perfectly happy. She had stopped me from joining the group. She said that she regretted to be under the necessity of keeping me at a distance, but that until she heard from Bessie, and could discover by her own observation that I was trying to acquire a more sociable and childlike nature and a more attractive and lovely manner, and that she really must exclude me from privileges intended only for good children.
    “What did Bessie say about me?” I asked.
    “Jane, I don’t like questioners; besides, there is something truly forbidding in a child taking up her elders in that manner. Be seated somewhere; remain silent until you can speak pleasantly.”
    The study room adjoined the drawing room and I slipped there. It contained a bookcase. I soon possessed myself of a volume stored with pictures.
    With the book on my knee, I was then happy; happy at least in my way. I feared nothing but interruption, and that came too soon.
    1. The underlined phrase “out of the question” in the first paragraph probably means________.
    A. impossible      B. possible    C. likely     D. no problem
    2. Jane never liked long walks on cold afternoons because ________.
    A. it often rained  
    B. it was too cold to walk outside
    C. she often suffered a lot, both mentally and physically     
    D. she was often scolded by the nurse
    3. We can infer from the passage that________.
    A. Jane was treated equally in the family 
    B. Jane couldn’t enjoy equal rights with her cousins
    C. Mrs. Reed was very strict with Jane for the sake of her
    D. Jane was too troublesome
    4. From the passage we can infer that ________.
    A. the drawing room contained a bookcase  B. Jane liked reading very much
    C. Jane drew the curtain to keep warm      D. Bessie was Jane’s good friend
    5. The main idea of this part of the story is ________.
    A. Jane was on good terms with her cousins   B. Jane spent a happy childhood
    C. Jane was badly treated in such a family    D. Jane loved Mrs. Reed and her cousins

    The use of cars is becoming more and more popular in the twentieth century. A large number of the world's population are now able to buy and use cars.
    Having a car gives much mobility（活动余地）, enabling the driver to move around freely. The owner of a car is no longer forced to depend on public transport（公共交通）and doesn't, therefore, have to work in a place near his home. Instead, he can choose from a greater variety of jobs and he could change his job frequently.
    Travelling to work by car is also more comfortable than having to use public transport; the driver can use the heating in winter and the air conditioning in summer to meet his own need and preference. There is no discomfort caused by waiting for
    buses, trains or underground trains etc. With the building of good fast motorways long distances can be covered rapidly and pleasantly. Also, for the first time in the century, many people are able to enjoy their free time to the full by making trips to the countryside or seaside at weekends. This feeling of independence and the freedom to go wherever you please is perhaps the greatest advantage（优势）of the car.
    1. What does the writer think of the public transport?
    A. It gives less mobility           B. It is not comfortable at all
    C. It enables a variety of jobs       D. It is becoming more popular than before
    2. Traveling by bus may be ______.
    A. less comfortable than by underground train 
    B. more comfortable than by other transport
    C. less comfortable than by other public transport  
    D. less comfortable than by car
    3. What does the underlined word mean?
    A. from time to time            B. with difficulty   
    C. against his own will         D. never
    4. What does the writer think of having a car of your own?
    A. It offers lots of advantages.        B. It has lots of independence.
    C. It gives the feeling of freedom.     D. It offers free trips.

    B
    YOU CAN HELP!
    Everyone was born with his own built-in burglar(窃贼) alarm. It’s called the sense of sight and sound．Unfortunately, many of us go around with the alarm switched off.
    We don’t see the stranger wandering outside the house next door.
    We don’t notice the sounds from the flat upstairs.
    (Weren’t they supposed to be on holiday?)
    The police can only do so much to prevent crime. There never can be enough of them to guard every home in every town. So they need your help in fighting with the burglars，the vandals（恣意破坏者）, and the car thieves.
    Not, of course, by setting out to have a go every time you see something suspicious. It’ll always be the job of the police to arrest criminals.
    But by acting as a line of communication between them and your community, for instance, you probably know far more about your immediate neighborhoods than the police ever could.
    A stranger in someone’s garden would probably be far more obvious to you than it would to even the local police, if, of course, you were on the look-out.
    That’s the whole idea behind the Neighborhood Watch schemes, springing up around the country to create a spirit of watchfulness within a community, anything suspicious being reported to the police.
    It’s early days yet, but results so far are very encouraging. The crime figures are already dropping in many of the areas running the scheme. And all due to people like you.
    61. The underlined word “them” refers to “______”.
    A. criminals          B. the police   C. neighbors   D. strangers
    62. The advertisement points out that many people______.
    A. are not ready to help the police   
    B. are not as watchful as they could be
    C. don’t look after their gardens well      
    D. don’t tell their neighbors about their holidays
    63. One of the ways we could help prevent crime is to______.
    A. turn on the alarm system in our home 
    B. try to stop criminals from escaping
    C. look out for people behaving suspiciously 
    D. inform the police if we hear noises upstairs
    64. The purpose of the advertisement is to __________in their neighborhood.
    A. ask people to join the police force
    B. advise people how to protect their homes
    C. warn people about the increasing risk of crime
    D. encourage people to be on watch for possible crime

        When a close friend dies, it often forces you to consider your own death. The more you have in common with the friend, the more his death will make you wonder about your own. Sometimes you will naturally say to yourself, "It could just as easily have been me." Such a death has a way of reminding us how fragile life is, and it may cause you to reassess（重新评价） the direction of your own life.
    Jack's story is a good example. A successful businessman making a lot of money, Jack didn't spend as much time with his family as he wanted. His job required him to work long hours. But three years ago one of his best friends, a man who worked in the same office, had a heart attack. He died while celebrating his daughter's eighteenth birthday in a restaurant. He was only fifty years old.
    Not long after his friend's death, Jack started to have a chest pain. Finally he had a good physical check-up. He received a clean bill of health. But the chest pain continued. He kept thinking of the death of his friend. Jack thought about how much his friend missed in life and he saw how hard it was for his friend's family to manage after he passed away.
    Jack realized that he didn't want to end up his life that way. He talked his feelings over with his wife and children, and decided to change his way of life. The family moved to a small town where he started a simple life. Now he is running a small art gallery（画廊）. He is relaxed, and says he has never been so happy in his life, and he has got no more chest pain.
    63. Your close friend's death is __________________ to you.
    A. a warning           B. common            C. a direction of life     D. an example
    64. The underlined sentence in the third paragraph means "________________".
    A. The doctor didn't write a word on his bill
    B. The doctor didn't want Jack to pay for the bill
    C. The doctor didn't find anything wrong with him
    D. The doctor didn't want to treat his pain
    65. His friend's death made Jack ________________.
    A. lose much interest in life
    B. realize that he missed the friend very much
    C. doubt his way of life
    D. ill for some time
    66. While living in the small town Jack ________________.
