Dad’s outlook(人生观)on most things was “Live and let live.” In this case, however, his calmness 26 Terre and me, and we let him know it.
“How can you be nice to that man?” we said to him. “You’ve been so kind to him, and he’s not being kind back. Why would you want to give him the time of day again?”
My father shrugged(耸肩)and said to us, “I do not bend my back with 27 . ”
I didn’t get it at first, but over the years I came to understand the 28 . Holding a grudge(怨恨)doesn’t 29 the person you’re angry with, but it changes you. It makes you heavier and gives you more weight to drag around.
After my father died in 1991, a (n) 30 came from a fellow I’d had a quarrel with years before to 31 his sympathy. He wrote: “I thought I’d tell you how sorry I am 32 the loss of your father. I know he 33 the world to you. I just wanted to let you know that you are in my thoughts. ”

Is there anything more important than health? I don’t think so. “Health is the greatest wealth.” wise people say. You can’t be good at your studies or work well when you are ill. If you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold, or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure, I think you should go to the doctor.
The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and lungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed. After that he will advise some treatment, or some medicine. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice. Speaking about doctor’s advice, I can’t help telling you a funny story.
An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease. He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: “Eat at pleasure, drink with measure and enjoy life as it is.” The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn’t smoke more than one cigarette a day. A month later the gentleman came into the doctor’s office. He looked cheerful and happy. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man. “But you know, doctor,” he said, “it’s not easy to begin smoking at my age.”

A.he was feeling better than ever
B.he wasn’t a healthy man
C.he was feeling worse than before

4.From the last sentence of the passage, we learn the man_______ before the doctor told him not to smoke more than one cigarette a day.
A.was a heavy smoker B.didn’t smoke so much
C.didn’t smoke D.began to learn to smoke

Imagine,one day,getting out of bed in Beijing and being at your office in Shanghai in only a couple of hours,and then,after a full day of work,going back home to Beijing and having dinner there.
Sounds unusual,doesn't it? But it's not that unrealistic,with the development of China’s high—speed railway system.And that’s not a11.China has an even greater high—speed railway plan—to connect the country with Southeast Asia,and eventually Eastern Europe.
China is negotiating to extend its own high·-speed railway network to up to 17 countries in 1 0 to 15 years,eventually reaching London and Singapore.
China has proposed three such projects.The first would possibly connect Kunming with
Singapore via Vietnam and Malaysia.Another could start in Urumqi and go through Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan,and possibly to Germany.The third would start in the northeast and go north through Russia and then into Western Europe.
If China’s plan for the high-speed railway goes forward,people could zip over from London to Beijing in under two days.
The new system would still follow China’s high—speed railway standard.And the trains would be able to go 346 kilometers an hour,almost as fast as some airplanes.
China’s bullet train(高速客车),the one connecting Wuhan to Guangzhou,already has the
World’s fastest average speed.It covers 1,069 kilometers in about three hours.
Of course,there are some technical challenges to overcome.There are so many issues that need to be settled,such as safety,rail gauge(轨距),maintenance of railway tracks.So,it’s important to pay attention to every detail.
But the key issue is really money.China is already spending hundreds of billions of yuan on
domestic railway expansion.
China prefers that the other countries pay in natural resources rather than with capital
investment.Resources from those countries could stream into China to sustain development.
It’11 be a win-win project. For other countries,the railway network will definitely create more opportunities for business,tourism and so on,not to mention the better communication among those countries.
For China,such a project would not only connect it with the rest of Asia and bring some much-needed resources,but would also help develop China’s far west.We foresee that in the coming decades,millions of people will migrate to the western regions,where the land is empty and resources unused.With high-speed trains,people will set up factories and business centers in the west once and for a11.And they’11 trade with Central Asian and Eastern European countries.
1.China’s new high-speed railway plan will be a win-win project because .
A.China will get much-needed resources and develop its western regions
B.China and the countries involved will benefit from the project in various ways
C.China will develop its railway system and communication with other countries
D.the foreign countries involved will develop their railway transportation,business and tourism
2.According to the passage,the greatest challenge to the new high-speed railway plan is .
A.technical issues
B.safety of the system C.financial problems
D.maintenance of railway tracks
3.Which of the following words best describes the author’s attitude towards China’s high-speed
railway plan?
A.Critical. B.Reserved. C.Doubtful D. Positive.
4.Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A.New Railway Standards
B.Big Railway Dreams
C.High—speed Bullet Trains
D.International Railway Network

When I was a young student, a Chinese teacher told us, “If you make one close friend in school, you will be most fortunate. A true friend is someone who stays with you for life.” 36 tells us that he was right. Good friendship is just not easily 37 . It is possible that we simply do not stay in one place long enough for 38 friendship to 39 .
However, there can be 40 disagreement on the need for each of us to think carefully about the kind of friendship we want. To most of us, friendships are considered very important, but we need to have clear in our 41 the kinds of friendship we want. Are they to be close or 42 at arm’s length?

Some people argue that the pressures on international sportsmen and sportswomen kill the essence(本质) of sport-seeking for personal excellence. Children kick a football around for fun. When they get older and play for local school teams, they become competitive but they still enjoy playing. A single person’s representing his country cannot afford to think about enjoying himself; he has to think only about winning. He is responsible for an entire nation’s hopes, dreams and fame.
A good example is the football World Cup. Football is the world’s most important sport. It is even more important now that the United States is seriously taking it up. Winning the World Cup is perhaps the greatest of international sporting success. Mention “Argentina” to someone and the chances are that he’ll think of football. In a sense, winning the World Cup “put Argentina on the map”.
Sports fans and supporters get quite irrational(失去理性的) about the World Cup. People in England felt that their country was somehow important after they won in 1996. Last year thousands of Scots sold their cars, and even their houses and spent all their money traveling to Argentina where the finals were played.
So am I arguing that international competition kills the idea of sports? Certainly not! Do the Argentineans really believe that because eleven of their men proved that most skillful at football, their nation is in every way better than all others? Not really. But it’s known that you won, and that in one way at least your country is best.
1.What is the writer’s main purpose in the passage?
A.To explain the role of sport |
B.To compare Scotland with Argentina |
C.To show that Argentina is better than all others. |
D.To prove that football is the world’s most important sport. |
2.According to the passage, Argentina is world famous because of its ____.
A. clear position on the map |
B. successes in the football World Cup |
C. excellence at all important sports |
D.large number of sports fans and supporters |
3.According to the passage, if a sportsman thinks about winning, he will ____.
A.be irrational |
B.be successful |
C.fail to succeed |
D.lose enjoyment |
4.What is the writer’s attitude towards international games?
A.Nations that meet on football are unlikely to meet on a battle field. |
B.Nations that win in international games prove best on the sports field at least. |
C.Nations that win the football World Cup are considered as best in all ways. |
D.Nations that give much attention to international competitions are world-famous in many ways. |
5. From this passage, we can infer that ____.
A.We should learn from England |
B.We should play football only for fun, not for fame |
C.We should learn from Argentina |
D.We should give chances for other countries to win the World Cup |
