    I am a team leader in an insurance company. We are going through a lot of changes right now, which is   36  much stress for all of us.
    A few weeks ago I was having a day so   37  that I even doubted if I had the ability to do this challenging work, and was about ready to change to a less stressful job   38  . Something happened that day to change my way of   39  and I am so appreciative of this young lady. I want to let her know that the small act   40  .
    On the top of my cubicle (工作隔间) I have a small collection of lighthouses (灯塔) to let people know where I am sitting   41  my team members have to find me for emergencies.
    That day I came into the office and was about to get the day   42  when Crystal came over. I asked if she needed anything. And she said, “I   43  you something.” I looked at her with a   44  look and said, “Well, thank you, but why   45  you buy me anything?” I had never spoke to this young lady   46 . She said, “Every day I stand up and look across the     47  and see your lighthouses. Then I feel I am not alone and I encourage myself that there are always   48  things in life. I saw this on the way to work and thought   49  would like it. I wish it would have the same   50  as your lighthouses do.” In her hand she had a small globe with a lighthouse and a ship on it. I gave her a hug and   51  her. I don’t think she knows how much that small act of   52  changed my day: I remained   53  the rest of the day.
    For anyone that reads this, I hope you remember, no matter what the   54  is, you could change someone’s day,   55  even his views on life.

    Thirty-two people watched kitty Genovese being killed right beneath their windows. She was their neighbor. Yet none of the 32 helped her. Not one even called the police. Was this in gunman cruelty? Was it lack of feeling about one’s fellow man?
    Not so, say scientists John Barley and Bib Fatane. These men went beyond the headlines to probe（探查） the reasons why people didn’t act. They found that a person has to go through two steps before he can help. First he has to notice that is an emergency(紧急情况).
    　　Suppose you see a middle-aged man fall to the side-walk. Is he having a heart attack? Is he in a coma （昏迷） from diabetes（糖尿病）? Or is he about to sleep off a drunk?
    Is the smoke coming into the room from a leak in the air conditioning? Is it steam pipes? Or is it really smoke from a fire? It’s not always easy to tell if you are faced with a real emergency.
    　　Second, and more important, the person faced with an emergency must feel personally responsible. He must feel that he must help, or the person won’t get the help he needs.
    The researchers found that a lot depends on how many people are around. They had college students in to be tested. Some came alone. Some came with one or two others. And some came in large groups. The receptionist started them off on the tests. Then she went into the next room. A curtain divided the testing room and the room into which she went. Soon the students heard a scream, the noise of file cabinets falling and a cry for help. All of this had been pre-recorded on a tape-recorder.
    Eight out of ten of the students taking the test alone acted to help. Of the students in pairs, only two out of ten helped. Of the students in groups, none helped.
    In other words, in a group, Americans often fail to act. They feel that others will act. They, themselves, needn’t. They do not feel any direct responsibility.
    Are people bothered by situations where people are in trouble? Yes. Scientists found that the people were emotional, they sweated, they had trembling hands. They felt the other person’s trouble. But they did not act. They were in a group. Their actions were shaped by the actions of those they were with.
    小题1:The purpose of this passage is_________.
    A．to explain why people fail to act in emergencies
    B．to explain when people will act in emergencies
    C．to explain what people will do in emergencies
    D．to explain how people feel in emergencies
    小题2:Which of the following is NOT true?
    A．When a person tries to help others, he must be clear that there is a real emergency.
    B．When a person tries to help others, he should know whether hey are worth his help.
    C．A person must take the full responsibility for the safety of those in emergencies if he wants to help.
    D．A person with a heart attack needs the most.
    小题3: The researchers have conducted an experiment to prove that people will act in emergencies when__________.
    A．they are in pairs　　B．they are in groups
    C．they are alone 　　　D．they are with their friends
    小题4:The main reason why people fail to act when they stay together is that _________.
    A．they are afraid of emergencies
    B．they are reluctant to get themselves involved
    C．others will act if they themselves hesitate
    D．they do not have any direct responsibility for those who need help

As a result, the boy's high school career was continually interrupted. When he was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.”

    I grew up poor – living with six brothers, my father and a wonderful mother. We had   36 money and few worldly goods, but plenty of love and attention. I was   37  and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, they could   38  afford a dream.
    My dream was to be a   39 .When I was sixteen, I could crush a baseball, throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fastball.

    It was a summer and a friend recommended me for a summer   43 . This meant a chance for my first income—cash for a new bike and new clothes, and the   44 of savings for a house for my mother. The opportunity was attracting, and I wanted to   45  at it.
    Then I realized I would have to   46  summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn’t be playing. I was   47  about this.

    I stood before him with my head   50 , trying to think of how to explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth   51  his disappointment in me.
    “How much are you going to make at this job?” he demanded.

    That   53 laid bare for me the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal. I devoted myself to   54  that summer, and within the year I was offered a $ 20,000 contract. I signed with the Denver Broncos in 1984 for $ 1.7 million, and bought my mother the   55 of my dreams.

    The idea of sailing west to reach the riches of the East Indies and the Asian mainland was much in fashion with cultured Europeans during the late fifteenth century. Learned people agreed that the earth was round: their only questions were how long and how dangerous would be a trip to reach the Orient. Christopher Columbus, the son of an unknown weaver, and himself a weaver of ambitious dreams, made his historic voyage to the New World in 1492. He didn't go to school very much, but be learned to read and write Spanish during his travels. He also taught himself Latin because all the geography books were written in Latin. Sailing with a tiny fleet of three ships, the Santa Maria and two smaller ships, the Pinta and the Nina and a crew of ninety sailors, be found the thirty-three-day crossing easier than his nearly-decade-long effort to find royal sponsors willing to support it. The trip drew not only on his own skills as an expert ship's captain, but also on his ability to plan such an expedition, obtain governmental approval and financing, and finally, demonstrate its success so that such explorations could continue. He tried for years to get King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella to supply him with ships and money. Finally they agreed, but he made more demands. He wanted to be made a knight, admiral of the Ocean Sea. He wanted to be the viceroy(总督)and governor general of all lands he would discover. Also he wanted one-tenth of everything he found of value in the new lands. The explorations that followed Columbus-those of Cabot, Verrazano, Cartier, and many others-benefited from a new maritime technology borrowed from Arab sailors and from a variety of new vessels (船，舰) such as the light-weight caravels employed by Columbus. Sailors also perfected sails and various types of riggings that gave ships added stability and greater maneuverability(可操作性)on the open seas. And when leaving sight of the coast, new navigational aids-charts, compasses, and astrolabes-permitted them to determine their position with some, though not perfect, accuracy. Columbus himself made a total of four voyages to the New World but he did not become rich as he had hoped. At the end of his life he only had a pension the king and queen had given him because he was the first to reach the New World. He spent the last few months of his life in bed because of the pain of arthritis(关)． Columbus not only discovered a New World, but led the way for other explorers.
    小题1:What was the dream destination of Europeans in the late fifteenth century?
    A．The oriental countries.B．The East Indonesia.
    C．The Old World.D．The African mainland. ．
    小题2:What preparations did Columbus make for his first voyage to the New World?
    ①He planned the expedition thoroughly.
    ②He spent almost ten years in looking for sponsors.
    ③He gathered a great many ships.
    ④He hired 90 sailors.
    ⑤He demonstrated his success of former far-reaching explorations.
    A．①②③④⑤B．①②④C．①④⑤D．②④⑤
    小题3:We can learn from the passage that ________.
    A．Christopher Columbus was an ambitious explorer
    B．he was a geologist with ambitious dreams
    C．Columbus became extremely wealthy after making a total of four voyages
    D．he was an unsuccessful canvasser(游说者)
    小题4:What equipment aided the sailors in locating relatively more accurately?
    A．A variety of new vessels.B．The light-weighted caravels.
    C．Various types of riggings.D．Charts, compasses and astrolabes.
    小题5:In the passage, the author mainly tells us ________.
    A．the tragedy of Columbus's life as a whole
    B．Columbus's life story and his achievements
    C．Columbus's exploration to the East Indies and Asia
    D．how Columbus arrived in the New World ．

    He met her at a party. She was outstanding; many guys were   36  her, but nobody paid any attention to him. After the party, he invited her for coffee. She was surprised. In order not to appear   37 , she went along.
    　　As they sat in a nice coffee shop, he was too   38  to say anything and she felt uncomfortable. Suddenly, he asked the waiter, "Could you please give me some   39 ? I'd like to put it in my coffee."
    　 They stared at him. He turned   40 , but when the salt came, he put it in his coffee and drank.   41 , she asked, "Why salt with coffee?"

    One day, a poor boy who was trying to pay his way through school by sending newspapers door to door, was so hungry that he decided to beg for a meal at the next house.
    However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you?”
    “You don’t owe me anything,” she replied. “Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart.” With these words, Howard Kelly left that house.
    Years later the woman became badly ill and was finally sent to the hospital in a big city. Dr. Howard Kelly, now famous, was called in. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Dressed in his doctor’s clothes, Dr. Kelly went into her room and recognized her at once. From that day on, he gave special attention to her, and decided to do his best to save her life.
    At last the woman was saved. Dr. Kelly asked the business office to pass the final bill to him. He looked at it and then wrote something on the side. The bill was sent to the woman’s room. She was afraid to open it because she was sure that it would take the rest of her life to pay for it off. Finally she looked, and the note on the side of the bill caught her attention. She read these words:
    “Paid in full with a glass of milk, Dr. Howard Kelly.”
    Tear of joy flooded her eyes.
