         Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers advised, "Barbara, be enthusiastic
    (热情的)! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience. " How right they were!
         "Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. "wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson．It is the paste
    that helps you hang on there when the going gets tough. It is the inner voice that whispers, "I can do it!"
    when others shout, "No, you can’t!” It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock,
    a geneticist who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted. Yet she didn’t stop
    working on her experiments．Work was such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping.
         We are all born with wide-eye, enthusiastic wonder and it is this childlike wonder that gives
    enthusiastic people such youthful air, whatever their age. At 90, cellist Pablo Casals would start his day
    by playing Bach. As the music flowed through his fingers, his stooped (弯曲的)shoulders would
    straighten and joy would reappear in his eyes. As author and poet Samuel Ulman once wrote, "Years
    wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.”
         Enthusiastic people also love what they do, regardless of money or title or power. Patricia Mcllrath,
    retired director of the Missouri Repertory Theater in Kansas City, was once asked where she got her
    enthusiasm. She replied, "My father, a lawyer, long ago told me, ‘I never made a dime until I stopped
    working for money.    ’"
         If we cannot do what we love as a full-time career, we can as a hobby. Elizabeth Layton of
    Wellsville, Kan was 68 before she began to draw. This activity ended periods of depression that had
    trouble her for at least 30 years, and the quality of her work led one critic to say, "I am tempted to call
    Layton a genius."
         We can’t afford to waste tears on "might-have-beens". We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go
    after "what-can-be". We need to live each moment whole-heartedly, with all our senses-finding pleasure
    in the sweet smell of a back-yard garden, the simple picture of a six-year-old, the beauty of a rainbow.
    1. The author holds the view that ______．
    A. enthusiastic people will never get old
    B. enthusiasm can make you succeed and enjoy life
    C. enthusiasm is more important than experience
    D. enthusiasm can give people more success and fame
    2. The author mentions cellist Pablo Casals in the third paragraph to show that ______．
    A. music can arouse people’s enthusiasm
    B. enthusiasm can give people inspiration needed to succeed
    C. enthusiasm can make people feel young
    D. enthusiasm can keep people healthy
    3. Which of the following can best explain the underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph?
    A. Enthusiasm can give you courage and strength in difficult times．
    B. If you don’t have enthusiasm, you can achieve nothing．
    C. Enthusiastic people seldom consider money and fame．
    D. Enthusiastic people can gain great fame and honor．

         There’s a man in the habit of hitting me on the head with an umbrella. At first I couldn’t stand it; 
    now I’m used to it.   
         I don’t know his name. I know he’s average in appearance, wears a gray suit, and has a common
     face. One hot morning, when I was sitting on a tree-shaded bench in Palermo Park, reading the paper, 
    suddenly I felt something touch my head. It was the very same man who now, as I’m writing, keeps
     striking me with an umbrella.   
         On that occasion I turned around filled with anger. He just kept on hitting me. I asked him if he was
     crazy. He didn’t even seem to hear me. Then I threatened to call a policeman. Calmly, cool as a
     cucumber, he stuck with his task. After a few moments of hesitation, and seeing that he was not about to
     change his attitude, I stood up and hit him on the nose. The man fell down. But he immediately got back
     on his feet, obviously with great effort, and without a word again began hitting me on the head with the
     umbrella. His nose was bleeding and, at that moment, I felt sorry for him. I felt regret for having hit him
     so hard. After all, the man wasn’t exactly hitting me; he was merely tapping me lightly with his umbrella,
     not causing any pain at all. Of course, those taps were extremely bothersome. As we all know, when a 
    fly lands on your forehead, you don’t feel any pain; what you feel is annoyance. Well then, that umbrella
     was one huge fly that kept landing on my head time after time.   
         Convinced that I was dealing with a madman, I tried to escape. But the man followed me, wordlessly
     continuing to hit me. So I began to run（I should point out that not many people run as fast as I do）.
     He took off after me, trying to land a blow. The man was out of breath so that I thought, if I continued to
     force him to run at that speed, he would drop dead right then and there.   
    1. When the man began to strike the author with an umbrella, the author _________.   
    A. became angry   
    B. called the police   
    C. turned around and escaped   
    D. turned around and fought back   
    2. The author would most probably agree that the man was_______. 
    A. deaf 　　　
    B. blind 　　　
    C. dead　　　 
    D. mad   
    3. The author felt sorry for the man because _______.   
    A. the man formed a bad habit of beating others   
    B. he hit the man so hard that his nose bled   
    C. the man couldn’t catch up with him   
    D. there was a fly on the man’s head   
    4. It can be learned from the passage that the man _______. 
    A. shouted loudly while hitting the author   
    B. wanted to tell the author something 
    C. ran after the author breathlessly   
    D. acted as if he were a fly

    they were going the same way, he helped to carry part of the burden. As they walked Mark discovered
    the boy's name was Bill, that he loved video games, baseball and history, and that he was having lots of
    trouble with his other subjects and that he had just broken up with his girlfriend.
          They arrived at Bill's home first and Mark was invited in for a Coke and to watch some television.
    The afternoon passed pleasantly with a few laughs and some shared small talk, then Mark went home.
    They continued to see each other around school, had lunch together once or twice, then both graduated
    from the junior high school. They ended up in the same high school where they had brief contacts over the years. Finally the long awaited senior year came and three weeks before graduation, Bill asked Mark if they could talk. 
          Bill reminded(提醒) him of the day years ago when they had first met. "Did you ever wonder why I
    was carrying so many things home that day?" asked Bill. "You see. I had stored away some of my
    mother's sleeping pills and I was going home to kill myself. But after we spent some time together talking
    and laughing, I realized that if I had killed myself, I would have missed that time and so many others that
    might follow. So you see, Mark, when you picked up those books that day, you did a lot more, you
    saved my life."
    1. Mark helped Bill _______ on his way home. 
    A. read all his books
    B. play baseball in a game 
    C. buy two sweaters and a glove

         Li Daiyu and her cousin Liu Qian were on a trip to Canada to visit their cousins on the Atlantic coast.
    Rather than take the aeroplane all the way, they decided to fly from China to Vancouver and to take the
    train from west to east across Canada in September.The idea that they would cross the whole continent
    was exciting.
         Their friend, Danny Lin,was waiting for them at the airport. He was going to take them to catch 'The
    True North', the cross-Canada train.On the way to the station, he told them, 'You're going to see great
    scenery on your trip. Canada is bigger than the United States. It is second biggest country in the world
    and as you go eastward, you will see mountains and pass thousands of lakes,forests and wide rivers as
    well as cities.The idea that you can cross Canada in less than five days is just wrong. It is 5,500
    kilometres from coast to coast.Here in Vancouver,you are in the warmest part of Canada.Many people
    think it is the most beautiful city in Canada,as it is surrounded by mountains on the north and east and the
    Pacific Ocean on the west.Its population is increasing very rapidly, because the mountain-and-sea city is
    a very popular place to live in.Even people from Japan come to settle down here.
         That afternoon on the train the cousins settled down in their seats. They crossed the Rocky Mountains
    earlier that day and looked out of the windows at the wild scencry.They saw mountain goats and even a
    grizzly bear.Their next stop would be Calgary.The Calgary Stampede is a famous Western festival,
    Cowboys come from all over North America to compete in riding wild horses.Many of them have a gift
    for working with animals and they can win thousands of dollars in prizes.
         That night,they slept as the train rushed through the night across the top of Lake Superior.through the
    great forests and southward towards Toronto.
    1. How did Li Daiyu and Liu Qian arrive in Canada?
    A. They sailed across the Pacific Ocean.        
    B. They flew to Vancouver.
    C. They took a train to Vancouver.
