She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of37 . He drank it slowly and then asked, “How much do I owe you?”“You don’t owe me anything,”she replied. “Mother has taught me 38 to accept pay for a kindness.” He said, “Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart.” As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt 39 physically, but it also increased his faith in God and the human race. He was about to give up and quit 40 this point.Years later the young woman became critically ill. The 41 doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where specialists could be called 42 to study her rare disease. Dr Howard Kelly, now a famous doctor, was called in for the consultation.

However, new research shows that focusing just on building self-esteem may not be helpful. In some cases, having high self-esteem can bring bad results if it makes you less likeable or more upset when you fail at something.“Forget about self-esteem,” says one of the psychologists involved in the new research. “It’s not the most important thing.”This idea may sound a bit strange to you because studies also show that people with high self-esteem are less likely to be anxious, shy, or lonely than those with low self-esteem. In short, to feel good does you good.But, after reviewing about 18,000 studies on self-esteem, Roy Baumeister, a psychologist at Florida State University, has found that building up your self-esteem will not necessarily make you a better person. He believes that violent and evil people often have the highest self-esteem of all. He also said, “There’s no evidence that kids with high self-esteem do better in school.”All types of people have problems. “People with high self-esteem can have big egos(自我) t hat can make them less likeable to their peers,” said Kathleen Vohs, a psychology professor at Columbia University. “People with high self-esteem tend to (趋向于) think more of themselves,” Vohs says. People with low self-esteem are more likely to rely on their friends when they need help.Researchers say it is best to listen to and support other people. Find positive ways to contribute to society. If you fail at something, try to learn from the experience. The best therapy(药方), as they suggest, is to recognize your faults, accept yourself, understand your weaknesses and then do something about them.51. What’s the author’s attitude towards high self-esteem?A. Objective.B. Subjective.C. Neutral.D. Indifferent.52. What’s the passage mainly about?A. High self-esteem is the key to success.B. New research shows that high self-esteem may not be helpful.C. New research shows that high self-esteem can only bring bad results.D. People with high self-esteem are less likeable.53. What does the underlined part “a better person” probably mean?A. A person who is friendly and kind.B. A person who is successful and wealthy.C. A person who is successful and brave.D. A person who is helpful and supportive.54. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. People used to think that high self-esteem led to success.B. According to the psychologists in the passage, high self-esteem is more negative than positive.C. People with low self-esteem are less likely to depend on their friends.D. People with high self-esteem tend to be prouder.55. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. The best therapy mentioned is mainly for people of all kinds.B. The best therapy mentioned is mainly for people with low self-esteem.C. The best therapy mentioned is mainly for people with high self-esteem.D. The best therapy mentioned is mainly for people who fail at something.BIt is men’s nature to live together in families and tribes(部落), and cities and nations, and therefore men have learned to prize those qualities in each other which make social life the happiest and best.Of these qualities one of the most important is sympathy－fellow-feeling. If a man had no fellow-feeling, we should call him “inhuman”; he would be no true man. We think so much of this quality that we call a kind man “human”－that is, man-like in his conduct, first to other men, and afterwards to all living things.If you are cruel to animals, you are not likely to be kind or thoughtfull to men; and if you are thoughtful towards men, you are not likely to be cruel and thoughtful towards animals. This is why the wise man of old wrote, “The merciful man is merciful to his beast.”What a pleasure it is also to be loved by our pets or domestic animals; and to feel that we are caring for them and are deserving of their love; or to watch the ways of wild creatures, and gradually to make friends with them!Treating animals kindly does not mean that we must never inflict any pain on them. We ourselves are trained by pains as well as by pleasures; so too, punishment is sometimes needed to train our dogs and horses to obey us. We endure pains at th e hands of the surgeon, to cure some wound or to heal some disease; so too, animals must submit to being doctored.We send out our bravest men to face wounds, sickness and death, for the good of the nation; so too, we let our horses share the risk of battle. For similar reasons, we cannot hesitate to destroy dangerous creatures like wolves and show senseless ferocity(残忍). It is no excuse to say that these animals deserve to be treated cruelly on account of their own cruelty. They are not really cruel, for they tear and kill not from love of unkindness, but because they must do so in order to live.56．One of the most important qualities of men is fellow-feeling because .A．you are likely to be cruel and thoughtful without itB．a man would be inhuman without itC．men can’t bear any pain on themselves and animalsD．only sympathy makes a man man-like in his conduct57．The author would probably agree with the following EXCEPT that .A．we must never force any pain on animalsB．some people have to kill some animals in order to liveC．it is human for a doctor to cut off some part from the animalsD．wise men are not only good to men but also to animals58．What do you think is the title of the passage?A．Loving your pet. B．Fellow-feeling.C．Making friends with animals. D．Kindness to animals.59．Which of the following is inhuman according to the writer?A．To treat animals cruelly because they are cruel.B．To train animals.C．To destroy some of the dangerous animals.D．To make animals submit to being doctored.60．The underlined word “inflict” here means .A．make sb/sth suffer B．forbidC．punish D．avoidCFrank Woolworth knew what was in the heart of a child when she stood with her nose pressed against the pane of a store window.He, too, felt the weight of unsatisfied longing. He supported a family on the ＄10 a week he earned as a clerk in a small-town store. He knew what aching hopes, what dreams of better life, lay in the nickels and dimes that were left after the family bills were paid.So in his mind there grew a picture of a new kind of store for America.It was a make-a-wish store. It was filled with things that people wanted out of life. There were things to eat, to wear, to read, to build with. There were things to make children happy and to make women beautiful－things for health, for laughter, for work, and for comfort.And anybody in America could walk into that store with a dime and buy anything he saw. There, with life’s bounty(慷慨施舍) spread before you, was nothing you couldn’t afford.With a bucket of red paint and ＄300 in cash, Frank Woolworth opened his store. At first there were only a few things on the counters. But each week there were more, for a wonderful thing began to happen. The more people bought with their dimes, the more their dimes were able to buy. Frank Woolworth’s little red store had proved a great American tru th－that the power of people’s nickels and dimes, working together, can manage anything.It made him rich. And it made us richer still. For he showed us, in a way we can never forget, that most of the good things in life are within the reach of everyone who works towards them on this land of opportunity.61．Which could be the title of this passage?A．Frank Woolworth. B．Frank Woolworth’s dream.C．Frank Woolworth’s store. D．Frank Woolworth was rich. 62．Frank Woolworth opened a store because .A．he had a lot of moneyB．he had in his mind a dreamC．there was no store in his neighborhoodD．he was tired of his work63．From the passage, we know that .A．it was not convenient for the people to buy anythingB．children could take away anything from the store as they wishedC．if people bought more from the shop, they could buy anthing at a lower priceD．most of the good things in life are within the reach of determined and hard-working people64．Frank Woolworth’s success showed us that .A．one must have a good observationB．there is nothing you can’t afford if you are generous enoughC．the future will be just what we make itD．money can make the mare go65．The following statements are all wrong EXCEPT that .A．Frank was born in a business familyB．children were not interested in his storeC．Frank once worked as a clerkD．Frank borrowed much money in order to open his storeDJennifer Aniston was born on February 11, 1969 in Sherman Oaks, California.

Life wasn’t all easy for Aniston though. Before getting the role of Rachel Green on Friends, Aniston was told to lose some weight and she did. She lost 30 pounds. Now, as the girl everyone wants to look like, fame has proven to be a bit daunting for Aniston. Now, her passions for things like antiquing, hiking, and travelling have been halted for the time being.She can no longer go out into public without being stopped for autograph requests or photos and finds the worst part of her newfound celebrity status is meeting a man.
