24、uth, the dog ran to the butchers. It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher read it carefully, recognized that it was really the ladys handwriting and soon did it as he was asked to. The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up at once. At noon, the dog came to the shop again. It gave the butcher

25、 a piece of paper again. After reading it, he gave it half a pound of meat once more. The next day, the dog came again exactly at noon. And as usual, it brought a piece of paper in the mouth. This time, the butcher did not take a look at paper, and gave the dog its meat, for he had regarded the dog

26、as one of his customers(顾客). But, the dog came again at four oclock. And the same thing happened once again. To the butchers more surprise, it came for the third time at six oclock, and brought with it a third piece of paper. The butcher felt a bit puzzled. He said to himself, “This is a small dog.

30、ch TV-watching can harm childrens ability to learn and even reduce their chances of getting a college degree, new studies suggest in the latest effort to examine the effects of television on children. One of the studies looked at nearly 400 northern California third-graders. Those with TVs in their

31、bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than children without bedroom TVs. A second study ,looking at nearly 1000 grown-ups in New Zealand, found lower education levels among 26-year -olds who had watched lots of TV during childhood .But the results dont prove that T

32、V is the cause and dont ride out that already poorly motivated youngsters(年轻人）may watch lots of TV. Their study measured the TV habits of 26-year-olds between ages 5 and 15. These with college degrees had watched an average of less than two hours of TV per week night during childhood, compared with

33、an average of more than 2 1/2 hours for those who had no education beyond high school.In the California study, children with TVs in their rooms but no computer at home scored the lowest while those with no bedroom TV but who had home computers scored the highest.While this study does not prove that

34、bedroom TV sets caused the lower scores, it adds to accumulating findings that children shouldn't have TVs in their bedrooms 55. According to the California study, the low-scoring group might _ .A. have had computers in their bedrooms B. not be interested in math C. be unable to go to college D.

35、 have watched a lot of TV 56. What is the researchers understanding of the New Zealand study results? A. The connection between TV and education levels is difficult to explain B.

37、e done 58. What would be the best title for this text? A. Computers or Television B. Studies on TV and College EducationC. Effects of Television on Children D. Television and Childrens Learning Habits CWe were driving on the right road when, all of a sudden, a black car pulled out of a parking space

38、 right in front of us. My taxi driver stepped on his brake, skidded(打滑), and missed the black cars back end by just inches! The driver of the black car, who almost caused a major accident, turned his head angrily and started shouting bad words at us.My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. I

39、 mean, my taxi driver was friendly. So, I said, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to hospital!” And the following is what my taxi driver told me, which I now call “the law of the Garbage Truck”.“Many people are like garbage(垃圾) trucks. They run around full of gar

40、bage, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump(倾卸)it. And if you let them, they dump it on you. When someone wants to dump on you, dont take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish him well, and move on. Believe me. Youll be happier.”So this is “T

41、he Law of the Garbage Truck”. I started thinking: How often do I let “Garbage Trucks” run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets? It was then that I said, “Im not going to do it any more.”I began to see “Garbage Trucks”.

42、 I see the load theyre carrying. I see them coming to drop it off. And like my taxi driver, I dont make it a personal thing; I just smile, wave, and move on.Good leaders know they have to be ready for their next meeting. Good parents know that they have to welcome their children home from school wit

43、h hugs and kisses. What about you? The mark of a successful person is how quickly he can get back his focus on whats important.59. Who acted like a garbage truck in the accident described in the first two paragraphs?A. The author. B. The driver of the black car. C. The taxi driver. D. Both drivers.

44、60. The reason why the taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy is that _.A. the black car was full of garbageB. the driver of the black car didnt cause any damage to the taxiC. the taxi driver didnt want his mood ruined D. the driver of the black car was angry and the taxi driver felt a little

45、frightened61. The underlined part “the load” in Paragraph 5 refers to _.A. waste materialsB. excitement C. new products D. bad mood 62. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Always be kind and hardworking. B. Try to be good leaders as well as good parents.C. Ignore unpleasantness and stick

46、to(坚持) your tasks.D. Do things quickly so as to be ready for the next.DThere are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consi

47、der things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those w

48、ho are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend (hurt) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy person

49、s would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing(批评) and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation(模仿). It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors(拥有者). The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes

50、. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit. Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend(冒犯) many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats the

51、m with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they

52、 bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others t

53、o avoid any contact(接触) with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels. 63. People who are unhappy_. A. always consider things differently from others B. usually are affected by the results of certain things C. alw

54、ays discover the unpleasant side of certain things D. usually misunderstand what others think or say64. The underlined phrase “sour the pleasure of society” most nearly means_. A. make others unhappy B. have a good taste with social life C. tend to scold others openly D. enjoy the pleasure of life 6

55、5. We can conclude (推断) from the second paragraph that_. A. we should pity all such unhappy people B. people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness C. such unhappy people are dangerous to social lifeD. unhappy people can not understand happy persons 66. In this passage, the writer mainly_. A. describes two types of people B. suggests the unhappy people should get rid of the habit of unhappinessC. laughs at the unhappy people D. tells people how to be happy in life EAre you a big fan of pirate（海盗） stories? Do you kn
