doors and glass doors. the 43 and mystery of a door lies in its quality of being hidden. a glass door is not a door at all, but a window. the meaning of a door is to 44 what lies inside; to keep the heart in suspense.also, there are many ways of opening doors. there is the cheery 45 of elbow with which the waiter opens the kitchen door. there is the sympathetic and awful 46 of the dentists maid who opens the door into the operating room and, without speaking, 47 that the doctor is ready for you.the opening of doors has in it some flavor of the 48 , some sense of moving into a new moment. even in 49 , the opening of a door may bring relief. but the closing of doors could be 50 , a door closed brings 51 to an end. and there are degrees of sadness in the closing of doors. a door slammed is a confession of weakness. a door 52 shut may often be the most tragic gesture in life.the opening and closing of doors is a part of the serious fluency of life. life will not stay 53 and let us alone. we are 54 opening doors with hope, closing them with despair. life 55 not much longer than a pipe of tobacco, and destiny knocks us out like the ashes.36. a. mysteryb. reliefc. sceneryd.

stick about”, “ waving a pointy hat” and “watching paul daniels tv specials” sadly is not suitable for submission, however by applying through clearing you may be suitable of liberal arts courses. alternatively you may wish to resubmit next year by tying your letter to an owl and hoping for the best.on behalf of ucas i wish you every success.yours sincerely, xxxdear duke university admissions, bthank you for your rejection letter of march 26, 2015. after careful consideration, i regret to inform you that i am unable to accept your refusal to offer me admission into the fall 2015 freshman

could be extra work beyond normal procedure.bdo i exist?obviously!until descartes came along in the seventeenth century, everyone assumed that we exited. obviously. the fact seemed so mind-blowingly obvious that it wasnt really discussed. we could see ourselves in the mirror, we could feel pain and pleasure, we could think thoughts for ourselves and, more importantly, perhaps, all the worlds main religions assumed that we do exist. so we exist.no you dont it!you dont exist. thats because its impossible to show once and for all that you do. theres no proof. you might think you exist-that you are sitting at a table reading this book, for instance-but how could you show with 100 percent certainty that this is true? theres no experiment that could prove it. although descartes said just you could prove your own existence by the fact that you are able to think, this isnt actually, according to the british philosopher a. j. ayer. just because we know that we are thinking, this doesnt mean that there is a “you” doing the thinking. it just shows that the thoughts are happening, not that anyone is having them. thoughts exists, “you” dont._!what a waste of time this question is. although you can argue until the end of time whether you exist or not, it doesnt get you anywhere. unless you forget about this unanswerable question, youll be stuck thinking about it forever, and that isnt of any use to anyone. move on. think about something more important! this very roughly, is the view of almost all philosophers, who prefer to answer other, apparently more useful, questions.yes, butyou exist, but not in the way you might think. according to the great french philosopher ren descartes, you cant show that anything existsapart from your own self. the existence of the entire world can be doubted in one way or another, but the facts youre having thoughts shows that there might be something (thats you) having them. this let descartes to write the famous philosophical phrase, “ i think before i am”.60. which of the following can be the missing heading?a. forget about it b. what a ridiculous pointc. think about it d. what a pointless question61. this passage is anything but a(n)_.a. comment b. discussion c. argument d. debate62. the famous answer to the question “do i exist?” is _.a. no, you dont exist. b. i think, therefore, i am.c. yes, you do exist. d. it wont get you anywherecknots are the kind of stuff that even myths are made of.in the greek legend of the gordian knot, for example, alexander the great used his sword to slice through a knot that had failed all previous attempts to unite it. knots, enjoy a long history of tales and fanciful names such as “englishmans tie, ” “and “cats paw. ” knots became the subject of serious scientific investigation when in the 1860s the english physicist william thomson (known today as lord kelvin) proposed that atoms were in fact knotted tubes of ether（醚）. in order to be able to develop the equivalent of a periodic table of the elements, thomson had to be able to classify knots find out which different knots were possible. this sparked a great interest in the mathematical theory of knots.a mathematical knot looks very much like a familiar knot in a string, only with the strings ends joined. in thomsons theory, knots could, in principle at least, model atoms of increasing complexity, such as the hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen atoms, respectively. for knots to be truly useful in a mathematical theory, however, mathematicians searched for some precise way of proving that what appeared to be different knots were really different the couldnt be transformed one into the other by some simple manipulation（操作）. towards the end of the nineteenth century, the scottish mathematician peter guthrie tait and the university of nebraska professor charles newton little published complete tables of knots with up to ten crossings. unfortunately, by the time that this heroic effort was completed, kelvins theory had already been totally discarded as a model for atomic structure. nevertheless, even without any other application in sight, the mathematical interest in knot theory continued at that point for its own sake. in fact, mathematical became even more fascinated by knots. the only difference was that, as the british mathematician sir michael atiyah has put it, “the study of knots became a special branch of pure mathematics. ”two major breakthroughs in knot theory occurred in 1928 and in 1984. in 1928, the american mathematician james waddell alexander discovered an algebraic expression that uses the arrangement of crossings to label the knot. for example, t2-t+1 or t2-3t+1, or else. decades of work in the theory of knots finally produced the second breakthrough in 1984. the new zealander-american mathematician vaughan jones noticed an unexpected relation between knots and another abstract branch of mathematics, which led to the discovery of a more sensitive invariant known as the jones polynomial.63. what is surprising about knots?a. they originated from ancient greek legend.b. the study of knots is a branch of mathematics.c. knots led to the discovery of atom structure.d. alexander the great made knots well known.64. what does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?a. no other application found except tables of knots.b. the study of knots meeting a seemingly dead end.c. few scientist showing interest in knots.d. the publication of complete tables of knots.65. according to the passage, _ shows the most updated study about knots.a. t2-t+1b. t2-3t+1c. alexander polynomiald. jones polynomial66. which one would be the best title for this passage?a. mathematicians vs physiciansb. to be or knot to bec. knot or atomd. knot vs mathematicsdelmont, n. y.
