27、hairs had a broken leg. I didnt think there wouldbe any difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a lot of antique shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception. I was quite wrong. The man wouldn t even look at

28、 my chair.The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth so I decided that my approach must be wrong.I went into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “ Would you like to buy a chair? ” He loo

29、ked it over carefully and said, “Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir ? ” Twenty pounds,“ I said. Ok, he said, Tll give you twenty pounds. Its got a slightly broken leg,“ I said. Yes, I saw that, its nothing.”Everything was going according to the plan and I was getting excited.What

30、 will you do withit?” I asked.Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done. ” I will buy it “ I said “What do you mean? Youve just sold it to me, “ he said. Yes, I know but I ve changed my mind. Im sorry, I ll give you twenty-seven pounds for it. ” You must be crazy,“ he said. Then suddenly t

31、he penny dropped.“I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair. ” You are right,“I said. And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, Would you mend this chair for me? I wouldnt have agreed to do it, “he said, We dont do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. Bu

39、A visit to the museum exhibitsD. A use of the museum picnic areas.CSwimming is one of those activities that can be learned early in life. Little children can learn to swim as soon as they walk. In fact, you need the same skills in walking as in swimming. However, I believe that five is the best age

40、to learn. By five or six, a child knows fear of water, a very important thing to know. It s wise to be afraid, to recognize true danger. Young ones understand that water can sometimes be very dangerous.To really benefit from swimming, every swimmer should learn, as soon as possible, these four basic

41、 strokes; butterfly, backstroke, and crawl. I feel that one of these-the breaststroke-is different from the others, since some young swimmers use this stroke naturally, without any training.In swimming there are certain rules every swimmer should follow:1)Never swim alone! No matter how good you are

42、 in the water, dont risk drowning by swimming alone. If you swim by yourself,. With no life guards or friends with you, you may get into trouble.2)Dont go beyond your abilities. Most swimmers know enough not to swim too far from the bank or the beach. Showing off by doing dangerous tricks is no good

43、 .Swim safely and you will continue to swim and live.3)Dont smoke. Swimming depends on a healthy body; good lungs are part of it.4)Work at any activity that builds muscles.Little children can learn to swim as soon as.A. they can talkB. they start walkingC. they have no fear of waterD. they are five

44、or six years oldThe author believes that fear of water is The stroke that some young swimmers use first is A. Picture(1) B. Picture(2)C. Picture(3) D. Picture(4)According to the passage, you should not swim alone because.A. the water is too coldB. your parents would not be happyC. something in the w

45、ater might attackD. you might drownDWhen someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible-and it can be surprisingly helpful to your physical and mental health. Indeed, research has shown that people who forgive report more energy, bette

46、r appetite and better sleep patterns. a People who forgive show less anger and more hopefulness, says Dr Frederic Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good. So it can help save on the wear and tear on our system and allow people to feel more energetic.”So when someone has hurt you, calm yourself f

47、irst. Take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love. Dont wait for anapology. Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing, says Dr. Luskin. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just dont see things th

48、e same way. So if you wait forpeople to apologize, you could be waiting a very long time. ” Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean accepting the action of the person who upset you. Mentally going over your hurt gives power to the person who brought you pain. Instead, learn to look f

49、or the love, beauty and kindness around you. Finally, try to see things from the other person s perspective （视角）.You may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance, fear-even love. To gain perspective , you may want to write a letter to yourself from that persons point of view.”The text is m

50、ainly written to explain .A. how to keep yourself from being hurt B. how to stay mentally healthyC. how and when to remain calmD. why and how to pardon othersAccording to the writer, what is the right way to calm down after being hurt?Try to figure out why you get hurtWrite a letter to the person wh

51、o hurt youPersuade yourself to accept what others have done to youThink about pleasant things and forget about the hurtDr. Luskin advises us not to wait for an apology after being hurt because .A.we are not patient enoughB.wed feel worse accepting others apologyC.people seldom want to apologizeD.peo

52、ple dont mean it when theyapologizeIn the passage the writer does all the following except .A.give readers adviceB.make analysisC.support his own ideaD.tell his own experienceEApart from nuclear technology, genetic engineering is the most controversial （争议的） technology of the 20 th century.Sensation

53、al （弓I起轰动的） stories like the following have spread far and wide. One day in the future, a hospital receives a peculiar patient. As if he had been wound up like a watch, he keeps going round and round in his ward. At first, the doctors are at a loss concerning his strange disease. Later they find out

54、 the patient is fond of lean pork that comes from pigs which have had aa movement gene stayed in the patient S body.Dr Ying Tiejin, dean of the Department of Food Science and Nutrition of Zhejiang University, says this is completely fantasy. He explains that after the pork is cooked, the cells have

55、been damaged, and when the pork enters the stomach and intestine （肠）,enzymes （酶）break down the DNA. Even if there are complete chains of DNA, they can not play a role in gene transplantation （移 植）.Another science fiction predicts that in the future scientists will succeed in transplanting cattle gen

56、es into potatoes. This suggests that beef can be grown like potatoes. A more alarming fantasy suggests that titanic （巨大的） animals will be bred with transgenic technology, and eventually they will get free of human control and destroy mankind.While transgenic technology confronts humankind with diffi

57、cult choices regarding its future development, the appearance of transgenic foodstuffs（粮食） force people to make their choicesright away. Your breakfast contains genetically modified contents that have not undergone （=experienced） conclusive security examination, but it tastes better, with the bread

58、having the aroma （香气） of beef. It may make you strong or harm your health. What will you do?Hong Kong citizens faced such a choice one day last September. The Hong Kong Greenpeace Organization told citizens that two popular soybean milk products were made with genetically modified crop named Roundup

59、 Ready. This type of soybean had not submitted （提交） for examination regarding long-term human consumption. Although there is no proof indicating the beans endanger human health, they can not be regarded as safe products.What is true according to Dr Ying Tiejin?Supposing that people eat the pork with

60、 a amovement gene ” , people wont be influenced by its “ movement gene .We had better not eat the pork with “ movement gene .The story in Paragraph Two is likely to happen one day in the future.When the pork enters the stomach, enzymes will cut down the DNA 73. The main idea of Paragraph Five is tha
