Passage One You've probably had the experience of having someone fall in love with you w

Passage One

You've probably had the experience of having someone fall in love with you when you didn't feel the same way. In such a case it's hard to know what to do. You don't want to be so obvious in your efforts that you make an enemy of him.

A friend of mine had this problem and handled it in the most tactful (得体的) way I've ever seen. Instead of telling her admirer directly, she devoted herself to introducing him to every girl she knew. Whenever she had a date with him, she arranged to drop in at the home of one of her girl friends. At last he clicked (一见如故) with one of these girls, and then everyone was happy. My friend was rid of a problem and she still had the young man as a friend, which was just what she wanted him to be.

Of course this solution may not work for you. You may have your own way of dealing with the problem. But whatever you decide to do, keep one thing in mind—the boy in question has feelings every bit as sensitive as your own. So try to find a way of discouraging him without hurting him.

31. The best title for this passage would be______.

A. How to Make a Friend

B. Problems of Dating

C. Good Advice for Girls

D. How to Free Yourself from an Admirer

JOHN: Have you had a chance to look over the contract？ LORRIE: Yes．I've read it carefully. JOH

JOHN: Have you had a chance to look over the contract？

LORRIE: Yes．I've read it carefully.

JOHN: And do you have any questions？

LORRIE: No．But the contract stipulates that I will teach 22 hours a week．Will you have that many classes for me right away？

JOHN: No, probably not．For the first two weeks you may teach 10 or 15 hours.

LORRIE : But my salary will be 1 100 dollars a month．Will you pay me that much for the first month？ Because, I mean, I won't be working so many hours.

JOHN: I understand．That's why I didn't write the date on the contract．For the first two weeks, we will pay you according to the hours you teach．When you have 22 hours of classes, then the contract will take effect．Is that alright with you？

LORRIE: Oh, so I don't sign the contract today．Is that right？

JOHN: I don't want you to misunderstand, Miss Briggs．We are very serious about hiring you．We want you to teach for us．We usually do contracts this way because it is more convenient.

LORRIE: I can accept that.

JOHN: Good．And your benefits will begin immediately.

LORRIE: Even my health insurance？

JOHN: Yes．We will apply for your health insurance tomorrow．And your free membership in the club starts today if you like.

LORRIE: I have a few questions about the free membership.

JOHN: What would you like to know？

LORRIE : Is my membership the same as paying club members？ I mean, can I get discounts at club hotels？

JOHN: Absolutely．The only difference is in the restaurant and bar vouchers.

LORRIE: What are bar vouchers？

JOHN: Paying club members get around 300 dollars a year in restaurant vouchers．The vouchers can be used in the restaurant or the lounge．But we don't offer vouchers to employees.

LORRIE: But according to the contract, employees get a discount in the restaurant.

JOHN: That's fight．So in a way, it is cheaper for you than for the members．You get more benefits than they do.

LORRIE: So, for now, you want me to keep a copy of the contract．But we won't sign it yet．Is that right？

JOHN: Yes．I've prepared the contract just so that you understand everything, so that you understand the terms.

LORRIE: I understand．And according to the terms on the contract, I am happy to accept this job．I look forward to it.

JOHN: I'm very pleased．We look forward to having you here, Miss Briggs.

I made a pledge to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage.For two weeks

I made a pledge to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage.For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father.Totally loving.No ifs, ands or buts.

The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio.The speaker was quoting a Biblical (圣经的) passage about husbands being thoughtful of heir wives.Then he went on to say, “Love is an act of will.A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband.Well, for two weeks that would change.

And it did.Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks great on you.”

“Oh, Tom, you noticed,” she said, surprised and pleased.Maybe a little puzzled.

After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read.Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach.I started to refuse, but then I thought, “Evelyn’s been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me.” We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.

So it went.Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums.Relaxed and happy, that’s how the whole vacation passed.I made a new pledge to keep on remembering to choose love.

There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however.Evelyn and I still laugh about it today.On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression.

“What’s the matter？” I asked her.

“Tom,” she said in a voice filled with distress, “do you know something I don’t？”

“What do you mean？”

“Well… that checkup (体检) I had several weeks ago … our doctor… did he tell you something about me？ Tom, you’ve been so good to me… am I dying？”

It took a moment for it all to sink in.then I burst out laughing.

“No, honey,” I said, wrapping her in my arms.“You’re not dying; I’m just starting to live.”

26.In the first paragraph, “No ifs, ands or buts” probably means “_________”.

A.unintentionally

B.inevitably

C.impressively

D.unconditionally

27.From the story we may infer that Tom drove to the beach cottage ________.

A.with his family

B.with Evelyn

C.alone

D.with his children

28.During the two weeks on the beach, Tom showed more love to his wife because ____________.

A.she looked lovely in her new clothes

B.he had made a lot of money in his Wall Street firm

C.he was determined to be a good husband

D.she was seriously ill

29.The author says, “There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment.” What was the one thing that went wrong？

A.He praised her sweater, which puzzled her.

B.She insisted on visiting a museum, which he hated.

C.He knew something about her illness but didn’t tell her.

第10题

It's easy to get the sense these days that you've stumbled into a party with some powerful

drug that dramatically alters identity. The faces are familiar, but the words coming out of them aren't. Something has happened to a lot of people you used to think you knew. They've changed into something like their own opposite.

There's Bill Gates, who these days is spending less time earning money than giving it away—and pulling other billionaires into the deep end of global philanthropy(慈善事业) with him. There's historian Francis Fukuyama, leading a whole gang of disaffected fellow travelers away from neoconservatism. To flip-flopis human. It can still sometimes be a political liability, evidence of a flaky disposition or rank opportunism. But there are circumstances in which not to reverse course seems almost pathological(病态的). He's a model of consistency, Stephen Colbert said last year of George W. Bush:" He believes the same thing Wednesday that he believed on Monday—no matter what happened on Tuesday".

Over the past three years, I found people who had pulled a big U-turn in their lives. Often the insight came in a forehead-smiting moment in the middle of the night: I've got it all wrong.

It looked at first like a sprinkling of outliers beyond the curve of normal human experience. But when you stepped back, a pattern emerged. What these personal turns had in common was the apprehension that we're all connected. Everything leans on something, is both dependent and depended on.

"The difference between you and me", a visiting Chinese student told University of Michigan psychologist Richard Nisbett not long ago", is that I think the world is a circle, and you think it's a line". The remark prompted the professor to write a book, The Geography of Thought, about the differences between the Western and the Asian mind.

To Western thinking, the world is linear; you can chop it up and analyze it, and we can all work on our little part of the project independently until it's solved. The classically Eastern mind, according to Nisbett, sees things differently: the world isn't a length of rope but a vast, closed chain, incomprehensibly complex and ever changing. When you look at life from this second perspective, some unlikely connections reveal themselves.

I realized this was what almost all the U-turns had in common: people had swung around to face East. They had stopped thinking in a line and started thinking in a circle. Morality was looking less like a set of rules and more like a story, one in which they were part of an ensemble cast, no longer the star.

What can we infer from first two paragraphs？

A．Some people have changed into someone another.

B．Rhere are some drugs that can change one's identity.

C．Some moneybags are pulled to act as philanthropist.

D．francis Fukuyama has become a great traveler.
