Charles Plumb, a U.S. Naval Academy graduate, was a jet fighter pilot in Vietnam. After 75 combat missions, his plane was 36 by a surface-to-air missile. Plumb was 37 and spent six years in prison in Vietnam. He survived and now 38 about lessons learned from that experience.One day, Plumb and his wife were sitting in a restaurant when a man at another table came up and said, "You're Plumb! You 39 jet fighters in Vietnam from the aircraft carrier (航空母舰) Kitty Hawk . You were 40 !""How in the world did you know that?" asked Plumb."I 41 your parachute," the man replied. Plumb gasped（倒吸一口气） in surprise and 42 .The man pumped his hand and said, "I guess it worked!"Plumb assured him, "It 43 did—if your chute hadn't worked, I wouldn't behere today."Plumb couldn't sleep that night，thinking about that man. He says, "I wondered how many times I might have passed him 44 the Kitty Hawk. I wondered how many times I might have seen him and not even said 'Good morning, how are you', or anything 45 , you see, I was a fighter pilot and he was just a 46 ."Plumb thought of the many days the sailor had spent on a long wooden table in the bowels（深处）of the ship 47 working on each chute, holding in his hands each time the 48 of someone he didn't know.Plumb asks his 49 , "Who's packing your 50 ? Everyone has someone who provides what they need to make it 51 the day." Plumb also says that he needed many kinds of parachutes when his plane was shot down—he needed his 52 parachute, his mental parachute, his emotional parachute, and his spiritual parachute. He called on all these 53 before reaching safety. His experience reminds us all to 54 and be kind to people who pack our daily parachutes, and strengthen us to go through 55 times.36.

A few days ago, my car was not running well．I pulled it into a garage and the young mechanic had it fixed in just a few minutes．He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine．I was amazed．The sad truth is that great talentis not enough．I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn. I heard the otherday that less than 5 percent of Americans earn more than $100,000 a year. A business consultant who specializes in the medical trade was telling me how many doctors and dentists struggle financially. It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase, “They are one skill away from great wealth．”There is an old saying that goes, "Job means 'just over broke（破产）"．And unfortunately, I would say that the saying applies to millions of people．Because schools do not think financial intelligence is intelligence, most workers "live within their means"．They work and they pay the bills．Instead I recommend to young people to seek work for what they will learn, more than what they will earn．When I ask the classes I teach, “How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDo nald's?” almost all the students raise their hands. I then ask, “So if most of you can cook a better hamburger, how come McDonald's makes more money than you?” The answer is obvious: McDonald's is excellent at business systems. The world is filled with talented poor people. They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger.56．The author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph to show that ．A. he is just one of the talented peopleB. he is ready tohelp othersC. he has a sharp sense of hearingD. he knows little about car repairing 57．The underlined part in the third paragraph can be best replaced by____ ． A. spend more than they can afford B. 1ive within what they earnC. 1ive in their own circleD. do in their own way58．Why do talented people earn so little according to the author?A. They don’t work hard enough．B. They have no specialized skills．C. They don't make full use of their talents．D. They lackfinancial intelligence．59．The main purpose of the author is to tell us____ ．A. how young people can find a satisfactory jobB. What schools should teach about financeC. why so many talented people are poorD. how McDonald's makes much moneyB.Below is a housing guide for students going to London.University accommodation (住所)officesMany university accommodation offices have their own list of registered landlords (房东). Others also provide information on accommodation agencies and other housing organization. The advantage of using your university accommodation office is that you can get some support if you have a problem. The disadvantage is that they are unluckily to have enough registered landlords to houses all their students.Property papers: Loot and RentingLoot is an important source (来源) of information about private housing for co-renters. The offers are from private landlords, agencies and individuals lookingfor other co-renters. They also have a website: . The advantage of using Loot is that there are some excellent bargains. The disadvantage is that there is no quality control over the offers.Renting is another useful paper. The offers in this paper are mainly from accommodation agencies. Their website is at www. .Accommodation agenciesThe majority of rented accommodation in London is probably advertised through accommodation agencies. The advantage of using accommodation agencies is that you will have access to a large number of accommodations. A good agent will listen to your requirements and can save you time in looking for the right accommodation. The disadvantage is that they will make a range of charges to potential renters. NoticeboardsAround the universities you will find a number of noticeboards where offers of accommodation will be posted. These will either be from landlords or from students. Some universities will also have online noticeboards where students can advertise to other students. Advertisements from students can be an excellent way to find accommodation. However, advertisements from landlords can be problematic. Word of mouthSome of the best housing in London is never advertised but is passed on from one group of students to another by word of mouth. It might be that you can find out about good offers from final year students. However, do n’t suppose that just because you have found out about housing from a friend it is necessarily going to be better than that found through any other source.FamilyFaced with the very high rents charged in London, some students and their parents will consider buying as an alternative. In some cases this might be a good choice.60. What is the advantage of using Loot?A. It has more offers from accommodation agencies than Renting.B. It gives you personal information about other co-renters.C. Their website is designed mainly for students.D. There are some good bargains.61. The information passed on by word of mouth is important because .A. it is better than that found through any other sourceB. it helps you find some of the best housing never advertisedC. the landlords have little valuable informationD. the final year students always offer better information62. For students going to London for the first time, which of the following providesthe most reliable information?A. University accommodation offices.B. Loot and Renting.C. Notice boards.D. Family.CDoes Fame Drive You Crazy?Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, today’s stars, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. They are atthe center of much of the world’s attention. Paparazzi (狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature.According to psychologist Christina Villarreal, celebrities — famous people — worry constantly about their public appearance. Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. “Over time,” Villarreal says, “they feel separated and alone.”The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century B.C., painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain (抱怨) about his lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.If fame is so troublesome, why aren’t all celebrities running away from it? The answer is that there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already.63. It can be learned from the passage that stars today________________.A. are often misunderstood by the publicB. can no longer have their privacy protectedC. spend too much on their public appearanceD. care little about how they have come into fameDProducing money requires both artistic and technological skills. Dollar bills are made so that they are interesting to look at but very hard to copy. In total, there are sixty-five separate steps required to make a dollar bill．The money making process begins when a yearly order is sent by the Federal Reserve Board. That order will then be divided in half. Half will be done here in Washington, D.C. and the other half will be done in Fort Worth, Texas. Next, the Bureau orders special paper which is actually cloth since it is 75% cotton and 25% linen．This paper is made so that it can last a long time. And, it is made with details that make it hard to copy. For example, bills contain security threads. These narrow pieces of plastic are inside the paper and run along the width of the bill. This special paper is also made with very small blue and red fibers．Once the money is printed, guillotine cutters (切纸机) separate the sheets into two notes, then into individual notes．The notes are organized in "bricks," each of which contains forty one-hundred-note packages. The bricks then go to one of twelve Federal Reserve Districts, which then give the money to local banks. Ninety-five percent of the bills printed each year are used to replace money that is in circulation, or that has already been removed from circulation．You may know that America's first president, George Washington, is pictured on the one- dollar bill. But do you know whose face is on the two, five, ten, twenty, fifty and one hundred-dollar bills? They are, in order. President Thomas Jefferson, President Abraham Lincoln, Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton, President Andrew Jackson, President Ulysses Grant and statesman Benjamin Franklin．The average life span of a one-dollar bill is twenty-one months. But a ten-dollar bill lasts only about eighteen months．The one hundred-dollar bill lasts the longest, eighty-nine months．One popular question is about the two-dollar bill. This bill is not printed very often. This is because many Americans believe two-dollar bills are lucky, so they keep them．67. During money production, we must consider all EXCEPT that itmust .A. last a long timeB. be hard to copyC. be done by the president's orderD. be interesting to look at68. We can learn from the passage that the security threads .A. are narrow pieces of plasticB. are pressed outside the billsC. are longer than the width of the billsD. are actually made of cottonand linen69. How many presidents are printed on the American money?A. FourB. FiveC. SixD. Seven70. Why are the two-dollar bills not made often?A. Because no one wants them．B. Because they aren't damaged quickly like other bills．C. Because they aren't used in America any more．D. Because their material is a bit more expensive．第二节根据短文内容，从选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。
