27、柜）and moving into a bigger apartment.” I thought of her words and her chances of being rich are about as good as mine. But, to everyones surprise, a few years ago June did come to large inheritance（遗产）.At first June said very little about the money. As the initial shock disappeared, she bacame excit

28、ed, June is a great believer in making lists, so I want surprised to find her writing down all the ways she would spend her new wealth.As time went on, she started revising the list. What had been midway down the list was now at the top. At last, I said to her, “You know, it isnt necessary to spend

29、all your inheritance at once. Take come time; think about it.” “I know, I know,” she answered with a little bit anger.Then one morning June called, “Ive decided how I want to use my new inheritance. I want to see what you think,” she said. This wasnt something I looked forward to, but we had been fr

30、iends so long.As we sat, June spread a sheet of paper on the table. To my great surprise, she had written only two words: Charities, and Grandchildren-in that order. Thought I had promised to keep quiet, I couldnt keep from asking how she came to this decision.“Well,” she said, “I took your advice a

31、nd thought about it.” She added, “Helping others means a lot to me, so Im hoping this gift will help people in need.”I interrupted, “But what about this big apartment you most hope to have?”“At first it was hard, but it doesnt seem as important any more”, she answered with a smile.Then June moved he

32、r hand, and I could see a few words written in tiny letters at the bottom of the page. After having a look at the small print, I burst into laughter.

35、here think The International Institute of Not Doing Much is the best organization in the world. You know how to avoid unnecessary activities! We closely followed the advice in your article. First, we replaced all our telephones with carrier pigeons. Simply removing the jingle of telephones and repla

36、cing them with the pleasant sounds of birds has had a remarkable effect on everyone. Besides, birds are cheaper than telephone service. After all, we are a business. We have to think of the bottom line. As a side benefit, the birds also fertilize the lawn outside the new employee sauna（蒸气浴室）. Next,

37、we sold the computers off to Stab, Grab, Grit, and Nasty, a firm of lawyers nearby. Our electricity bill went way down. Big savings! The boss is impressed. We have completely embraced paper technology. Now that we all use pencils, doodling is on the increase, and the quality of pencilwomanship is im

38、pressive, as you can tell from my handwriting in this letter. By the way, if you can, please send this letter back to us. We can erase and reuse it. Just tie it to Maggies leg and shell know where to take it. Now its very calm and quiet here. You can notice the difference. No more loud chatter on th

39、e telephones! All we hear is the scratching of pencil on paper, the sound of pigeons, and the delivery of inter-office correspondence by paper airplane. Wonderful! Ive always wanted to work for an insurance company ever since I was a little girl. Now its perfect. Sincerely yours,Eleanor LightlySpoke

40、swoman and Company Hair StylistABC Activity Insurance: Insure against overdoing it59Which of the following best describes the life the author is leading?AA simple, slow-paced life.

41、nors letter sent to? AWhy Bother Magazine. BABC Activity Insurance Company. CStab, Grab, Grit, and Nasty Law Firm. DThe International Institute of Not Doing Much.61Which of the following is practiced in the authors company? AReplacing the manual work system with modern technology. BTurning off light

42、s in the daytime to save electricity. CRecycling paper resources whenever possible. DBuying birds and pets as company for the staff. 62What is true about Maggie? AShe works as a manager in the authors company. BShe sometimes helps fertilize the lawn outside the sauna. CShe often helps with inter-off

43、ice correspondence using e-mail. DHer handwriting has improved a lot after entering the company.CA popular saying goes, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” However, thats not really true. Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesnt matter if the w

44、ords come from someones else or ourselves - the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.We all talk to ourselves sometimes. Were usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. In fact, we really shouldnt be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habi

45、t.This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give o

46、urselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying “Good job!”Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others

47、. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clear will probably respond in a similar manner. Or harsh（刻薄的）and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.Words possess power because of their lasting effect

48、. Many of us regret something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesnt pass this test, then its better left unsaid.Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us

49、 receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem（自尊）and motivate others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.63The main idea of the first paragraph is that _.Awords have a lasting

50、effect on usBinspiring words give us confidenceCnegative words may let us down Dnot sticks and stones but words will hurt us 64There is no sense for us to feel embarrassed when we talk to ourselves because _.Aalmost everybody has the habit of talking to themselvesBtalking to ourselves always gives u

51、s courage Cwe can benefit from talking to ourselvesDit does no harm to have “self-talk” when we are alone65The underlined part in the third paragraph means that we should also timely _.Aremind ourselves Bpraise ourselvesCmake ourselves relaxedDgive ourselves amusement66The author would probably hold

52、 the view that _.Aencouraging words are sure to lead to kind offersBnegative words may stimulate us to make more progressCpeople tend to remember friendly wordsDit is better to think twice before talking to othersDNo budget for your vacation? Try home exchanges swapping houses with strangers. Agree

53、to use each others cars, and you can save dollars on car rentals (租赁费), too.Home exchanges are not new. At least one group, Intervac, has been facilitating such an arrangement since 1953. But trading online is gaining popularity these days, with several sites in operation, including HomeExchanges. F

54、ounded in 1992, with some 28,000 listings, this company bills itself as the worlds largest home exchange club, reporting that membership has increased 30% this year. The annual fee is usually less than US$100. Members can access thousands of listings for apartments, villas, suburban homes and farms

55、around the world. Initial contact is made via e-mail, with subsequent communication usually by phone. Before a match is made, potential swappers tend to discuss a lot. However, the concept may sound risky to some people. What about theft? Damage? These are reasonable causes for concern, but equally unlikely. As one swapper puts it, “Nobody is going to fly across the ocean or drive 600 miles to come steal your TV. Besides, at the same time theyre staying in your home, you are staying in their ho
