22、guarding the cave.He was so dedicated to it that he hardly ate or drank, and before long he fell ill. One day, when he could hardly move at all, he decided to share the treasure.He crawled into the cave to get a handful of jewels, but discovered, to his horror, that it was empty except for a small e

23、merald (绿宝石). The man took it and gave it to the first person to come by, a woman.Then an old man came by. “What bad luck!” the man said. “Just a moment ago I gave a woman the last of the treasure I was guarding.”“Are you sure there is nothing left?” the old man asked. The man took him into the cave

24、, where they found a chest with jewels and some bags of gold. The man was shocked, and the old man explained to him, “At last! At last! At last someone has broken the spell of this cave. This is the Cave of Treasure, and youre the first to have passed its great test. Many have dedicated their lives

25、to this cave, only to end up realizing there was nothing here ”“And why does this happen?” the man asked.“This magic cave has only as many riches as your own heart. When someone discovers it, the cave fills with the treasure they bring with them, but later, when they have devoted themselves to guard

26、ing the treasure, their hearts become empty, as does the cave. The only way to fill it is by filling your heart with all that is good, as you did by giving the woman that last jewel.”From that day on, the man understood that it was better to share than to keep. Thanks to the cave and the old man, he

27、 became noble and generous.51. Why did the man give up his job, home and friends?A. Because he possessed a variety of treasure.B. Because he devoted himself to a great test.C.

30、e.D. Purely material things cannot make us truly wealthy.BEddies father used to say hed spent so many years by the ocean, breathing seawater. Now, away from that ocean, in the hospital bed, his body began to look like a beached fish. His condition went from fair to stable and from stable to serious.

31、 Friends went from saying, “Hell be home in a day,” to “Hell be home in a week.” In his fathers absence, Eddie helped out at the pier (码头), working evenings after his taxi job. When Eddie was a teenager, if he ever complained or seemed bored with the pier, his father would shout, “What? This isnt go

32、od enough for you?” And later, when hed suggested Eddie take a job there after high school, Eddie almost laughed, and his father again said, “What? This isnt good enough for you?” And before Eddie went to war, when hed talked of marrying Marguerite and becoming an engineer, his father said, “What? T

33、his isnt good enough for you?”And now, regardless of all that, here he was, at the pier, doing his fathers labor. Parents rarely let go of their children, so children let go of them. They move on. They move away. It is not until much later, as the heart weakens, that children understand: their stori

34、es, and all their accomplishments, sit on top of the stories of their mothers and fathers, stones upon stones, beneath the waters of their lives.Finally, one night, at his mothers urging, Eddie visited the hospital. He entered the room slowly. His father, who for years had refused to speak to Eddie,

35、 now lacked the strength to even try. “Dont sweat it, kid,” the other workers told him. “Your old man will pull through. Hes the toughest man weve ever seen.” When the news came that his father had died, Eddie felt the emptiest kind of anger, the kind that circles in its cage. In the weeks that foll

36、owed, Eddies mother lived in a confused state. She spoke to her husband as if he were still there. She yelled at him to turn down the radio. She cooked enough food for two. One night, when Eddie offered to help with the dishes, she said, “Your father will put them away.” Eddie put a hand on her shou

37、lder. “Ma,” he said, softly, “Dads gone.” “Gone where?”55. In Paragraph four, the writer indicates that _. A. Children like moving away from their parents B. Children often feel regretful because they leave their parents C. Children wouldnt have achieved so much without their parents support D. Chil

38、dren can never understand how much their parents have devoted to them 56. The underlined sentence “Dont sweat it” (Para. 6) probably means _. A. Dont touch itB. Dont give it up C. Dont let him down D. Dont worry about it57. Which of the following shows the right order of the story? a. Eddies father

39、died. b. Eddie married Marguerite. c. Eddie worked as a taxi driver. d. Eddie was bored with his fathers job. A. dbcaB. dcabC. bcdaD. bacd58. From the last paragraph, we learn that _. A. Eddies mother liked to listen to the radio B. Eddies mother missed her husband so much that she was at a loss C.

40、Eddie and his wife lived in his mothers apartment D. Eddie often helped his mother wash the dishesCAre you an optimist? Do you look at your glass and see it as half full? Do you believe that every cloud has a silver lining and that things generally turn out for the best? Do you believe that if somet

41、hing is meant to be, it will be? If you reply “yes” to all of these questions, then you are an optimist. You probably are enthusiastic, cheerful and outgoing. You may be successful at work and in love.But you may be misguided because things dont turn out for the best. You may believe that when one d

42、oor closes another one opens (for example, you may fail to obtain a new job; another chance will come around soon). Wrong. When one door closes, another door slams (砰然关上) in your face. Thats bitter reality.Now a book has been published which confirms what pessimists (悲观者) have suspected all along. I

43、ts called The Positive Power of Defensive Pessimism. Its author argues that defensive pessimism can lead to positive results. Defensive pessimism is a strategy used to manage fear, anxiety and worry. Defensive pessimists prepare for the things by setting low outcomes for themselves. They carefully c

44、onsider everything that may go wrong and plan for ways to handle these problems. And this gives them a sense of control. Lawrence Sanno, a psychology professor, says, “Whats interesting about defensive pessimists is that they tend to be very successful people, so their low opinion of the situations

45、outcomes is not realistic. They use it to motivate themselves to perform better.”So far, so good. This is not rocket science. Defensive pessimists prepare carefully and consider what might go wrong, whether at work, on date or even in a sports game. It makes sense to have a back-up plan. There are m

46、any sayings in English urging caution. For example, “Dont put all your eggs in one basket.” And “Dont count your chickens until they hatch.” To have a confident and optimistic approach to lifes problems is good. But listen to what Woody Alien, the American comedian says, “Confidence is what you have

47、 before you understand the problem.”There are pros and cons to being an optimist and a pessimist. Dont feel bad if you see the glass half empty. You are a realist. But lighten up and hook up with someone who sees the same glass half full.59. Whats the passage mainly about?A. A book that has recently

48、 been published.B. How to become successful in life.C. The dangers of being too optimistic.D. The benefits of defensive pessimism.60. The underlined sentence “This is not rocket science” (Para. 4) means _.A. its not a dangerous thing to do B. it is quite simple to understandC. the cost is not so hig

49、hD. there is no real proof61. Which of the following English expressions would a defensive pessimist believe?A. Dont put all your eggs in one basket.B. The glass is half full not half empty.C. Whatever will be, will be.D. Every cloud has a silver lining.62. The writer would probably describe himself

50、 as _.A. an optimist B. adefeatist C. a realist D. a scientistDOne day when I was driving on the freeway, I noticed all the way there were large dividing walls, which had been built between it and the road running parallel to it, for noise reduction (减少) and a sense of separation. The purpose was to

51、 create a sense of privacy (隐私) for people on the other side.This got me thinking: How often do we put up mental barriers that keep us distant from others? Lifting the artificial barriers that keep us apart can offer opportunities to express our goodwill and create better relationships. If we can do

52、 like this, maybe our life will be a little different. There is a little post office in a nearby town, and since it is closer to me than the post office in my own town, I go there. One day, with many people jammed into the little building, a man came hurrying in to mail a letter, and the girl at the

53、 counter saw he had too little postage on it. She told him he needed 2 more cents. Obviously he was a little at a loss. He had hurried over from his office, and didnt have any money on him or time to stand in line. He was going to run back to get the needed money and wait in line again, but he hurri

54、ed to get the letter mailed in the first place.As we were watching him, one woman volunteered a two-cent stamp, and the whole line became very quiet. It was a beautiful moment. The man hesitated for a little while and asked her if she was sure, and she assured him she was fine with giving him the st

55、amp. He offered to go back to his office to get the two cents, and she told him not to bother.It was a small thing, but it meant something to both of the people involved, and to the rest of us. We arent a yard that needs defining or a freeway that needs barriers. We are human beings who can contribu

56、te to each others wellbeing by taking time to pay attention and interact. After all, we are all parts of a whole living in society.63. The purpose of the first paragraph is to _.A. summarize the main idea B. give detailed informationC. tell readers the authors opinion D. introduce the topic64. What happened after the man being told he needed two more cents?A. The man went back to his office i
