asked xanthus. nothing, he answered. nothing? how is that? because, since these other slaves do everything, there is nothing left for me to perform, said aesop. this answer pleased the rich man so well that he bought aesop at once, and took him to his home on the island of samos. in samos the little slave soon became known for his wisdom and courage. he often amused his master and his masters friends by telling funny stories. his master was so much pleased with him that he gave him his freedom.21. why did the slaves master want to sell his slaves?a. because the slaves didnt work at all.b. because the slaves could be well paid.c. because the master was badly illd. because the master was in need of money22. it can be inferred from the text that aesop chose the largest bundle because_.a. he was very strong. b. the bundle would be lighter and lighter.c. the bundle would make him stronger. d. he was really foolish.23. why did these slaves want to be bought by xanthus ?a. because he was very merciful.b. because he was very rich.c. because he lived in samos.d. because he would set them free.24. according to the text, aesop _.a. was known for his hard work. b. didnt like to work at all.c. was good at telling stories. d. was tired of his courage.bit feels like every time my mother and i start to have a conversation, it turns into an argument. we talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly, my mother will push the conversation into the third world war .she is always talking about my lack of a bright future because i dont plan to be a doctor. and much to her disappointment, i dont want to do any job related to science, either. in fact, when i was pushed to say that i planned to major(主修) in english and communications, she nearly had a heart attack. why cant you be like my coworkers son? she bemoans all the time. her coworkers son received a four -year scholarship(奖学金) and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. i dont know what to say except that i simply cant be like mr perfect as ive called the unnamed coworkers son. i cant be like him. im the type of person who loves to help out in the community, write until the sun goes down, and most of all, wants to achieve a career because i love it, not because of fame (名声) or salary. i understand why my mother is worried about my future major. ive seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours. she leaves the house around 630 am and usually comes home around 5 pm or even 6 pm. however, i want her to know that by becoming a doctor, it doesnt mean ill be successful. id rather follow my dreams and create my own future. 25. which of the following topics do the writer and his mother often talk about?a. the writers studies. b. wars around the world.c. dinner plans. d. the writers future job.26. the underlined word bemoans in paragraph 2 most probably means _ a. agrees. b. shouts. c. smiles. d. complains.27. which of the following statements is probably true about the writer?_. a. he wants to be like his mothers coworkers son. b. he wants to find a job in his community in the future. c. he wants to do something he really likes in the future. d. he doesnt think his mothers coworkers son is perfect28. we can know from the last paragraph that_. a. the writers mother works very hard for the family. b. the writer doesnt know what his future will be like. c. the writer doesnt think being a doctor is a good job. d. the writer sometimes thinks his mothers advice is very good.cshyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are concerned about their own appearance and actions too much. negative thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am i making? do they like me? do i sound stupid? am i wearing unattractive clothes?it is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must affect people unfavorably. a persons self-concept is reflected in the way he or she behaves and the way a person behaves affects other peoples reactions. in general, the way people think about themselves has a deep effect on all areas of their lives.shy people, who have low respect, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. they need faith that they are doing the right thing. shy people are very sensitive to criticism. it makes them feel inferior（自卑）. they also find it difficult to be pleased by praises because they believe they are unworthy of praise. a shy person may respond to a praise with a statement like this one: youre just saying that to make me feel good, i know its not true.” it is clear that, while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.can shyness be completely got rid of, or at least reduced? fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determination since shyness goes hand in hand with lack of self respect. it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths. each one of us has his or her own characteristics. we are interested in our own personal ways. the better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our chances for a rich and successful life.29. the first paragraph is mainly about_.a. the cause of shyness b. the effect of shyness on peoplec. the feelings of shy people d. the questions in the minds of shy people30. according to the writer, self-awareness is_.a. harmful to people b. a weak point of peoplec. the cause of unhappiness d. a good characteristic31. what is the shy peoples reaction to praise?a. they are pleased by it. b. they feel it is not true.c. they are very sensitive to it. d. they feel they are worthy of it. dbarack obama was born on august 4, 1961 in honolulu, hawaii. his father came to america from kenya, which is a country in africa. his parents, ann and barack, met when they were students at the university of hawaii. since barack had the same name as his father, young barack went by the nickname “barry”. in 1979, after he finished high school, barry went to occidental college in los angeles, california. there, he started to learn about his african roots and decided to use his african name, barack. after two years in l.a., he went to columbia university in new york city to study politics. after college, he moved to chicago, illinois, where he worked to help poor people in his city. he traveled to africa to meet his grandmother and cousins for the first time. he went back many times over the years to visit with his family and learn about where he came from. at work, he met a lawyer named michelle robinson. they worked together in a big law firm. then he left chicago to go to harvard law school in cambridge, massachusetts. he did very well in law school. after he was done with school, barack moved back to chicago and in 1992 he married michelle. he worked as a lawyer, devoted to helping poor people for free who had been treated unfairly. he worked hard to get the people he helped to vote(投票). he made many people believe that their votes were important, and helped them feel like they could make a difference.32. barack obamas father was probably born in _. a. hawaii.b. california.c. illinois.d. kenya.33. which of the following is the right order according to the text?getting married to michelle.travelling to africa to meet his grandmother.going to harvard law school.going to columbia university.working in a big law firm. a. b. c. d. 34. how did obama get people to vote?
