As soon as he starts to draw the crowd，a zoo keeper grabs him and drags him into his office. The zoo keeper explains to the mimic that the zoos most popular attraction，a gorilla（大猩猩），has died suddenly and the keeper fears that attendance at the zoo will fall off. He offers the mimic a job to dress up as the gorilla until they can get another one. The mimic accepts.So the next morning the mimic puts on the gorilla suit and enters the cage before the crowd es. He discovers that its a great job. He can sleep all he wants，play and make fun of people and he draws bigger crowds than he ever did as a mimic. However，eventually the crowds tire of him and he tires of just swinging on wires. He begins to notice that the people are paying more attention to the lion in the cage next to his. Not wanting to lose the attention of his audience，he climbs to the top of his cage，crawls across a partition（隔离物），and dangles from the top to the lions cage. Of course，this makes the lion very angry，but the crowd loves it.At the end of the day the zoo keeper es and gives the mimic a raise for being such a good attraction. Well，this goes on for some timethe mimic keeps taunting the lion，the crowds grow larger，and his salary keeps going up. Then one terrible day when he is dangling over the angry lion he slips and falls. The mimic is terrified.The lion gathers itself and prepares to attack. The mimic is so scared that he begins to run round and round the cage with the lion close behind. Finally，the mimic starts screaming and yelling，“Help me，help me！”But the lion is quick and attacks. The mimic soon finds himself flat on his back looking up at the angry lion and the lion says，“Shut up，you idiot！Do you want to get us both fired？”21The mimic visits the zoo to _.Aperform and earn some money there Bbeg some money from the zoo keeperCask for a job thereDtake care of the dying gorilla22The zoo keeper offers the mimic a job to act as the gorilla because _.Ait is more expensive to hire a real gorillaBhe wants to help the mimic who is out of workChe likes the mimics performanceDthe real gorilla died but the keeper does not want to lose its visitors 23What does the mimic feel about the new job at first?AHe doesnt like it for people do not respect him.BHe likes it but he prefers to working as a mimic.CHe likes it because he has enough freedom in the job.DHe doesnt like it because he gets little pay.24What does the passage mainly tell us?AThe mimic and his success BThe mimic and his jobCThe actor and the mimicDThe mimic and his animalsB Sons HelpMr. Smith worked in a factory. As a driver, he was busy but he was paid much. His wife was an able woman and did all the housework. When he came back, she took good care of him and he never did anything at home. So he had enough time when he had a holiday. A few friends of his liked gambling（赌博）and he learned it soon. So he was interested in it and hardly forgot anything except gambling. He lost all his money and later he began to sell the television, watches and so on. His wife told him not to do it but he didnt listen to her. She had to tell the police. He and his friends were punished for it. And he was hardly sent away. After he came out of lock up, he hated her very much and the woman had to leave him.It was New Years Day.

Several new studies, however, say that it could have a lot of health benefits. When you think of forgiveness, you probably dont think of it as being a health or medical problem. Studies from Stanford University, on the other hand, show that something like anger can change your well-being.When cartoon book characters like the Incredible Hulk get angry, they change colours and often gain special power. In the real world, anger is less obvious and may be more dangerous. Thats why Professor Fred Luskin, founder of the Stanford Forgiveness Project and author of Forgive for Good, says holding on to anger and hatred can harm your physical and mental health. Two new studies seem to show the same idea.The studies find that people who are able to forgive feel less stress, less back pain, and less depression. They also have fewer headaches, lower blood pressure, and fewer problems on sleeping.So it doesnt matter if your anger is caused by the traffic or other things. Learning to let it go is important. Techniques such as deep breath or thought can help. Or just ask yourself if its worth hurting yourself by staying angry with someone else.Forgiveness does not mean that you simply accept what happened and say its OK. Instead, its a way of making peace with yourself about what happened in the past.28The author of the passage tries to make his viewpoint clear _.Aby raising his own examples.Bbased on his own experience.Cby mentioning some typical patients.Dby mentioning some studies.29The example of the cartoon book characters is taken in the passage to _.Atell us that anger is more obvious and may be more dangerous in the real world.Blet the reader know the different colors of cartoon faces.Csupport the viewpoint that anger and hatred harm physical and mental health.Dshow how to control ones temper.30The underlined phrase “holding on to” in this passage possibly means “_”.Aremoving.Bkeeping up.Cgetting rid of.Dlearning about.31The best title for this passage is probably _.AAnger Is Bad for Health.BForgiveness Is Never Easy.CA Secret to Keeping HealthyDForgiveness Is Good for Health.D Details of the latest James Bond film Skyfall have been shown to the public.
