Casablanca, Sep. 24

A flash flood swept across the coastal plain about 100 miles southwest of here, killing hundreds of Moroccans in a market place yesterday morning.

Reports from the area said 218 bodies had been counted, and many of the people were missing.

The flood followed heavy rains, which filled the coastal plain and dried river beds and caused them to overflow. The flood crest, several feet high, hit the village of Khemis Nagua at midmorning yesterday as farmers from the surrounding area joined town people in an open market place.

The roaring water swept the village’s living places, the market sheds (棚子), shoppers, cattle and farm tools for miles across the plain..

The flood was over almost as soon as it started, the reports said, as the crest swept out to sea. Rescue workers quickly moved into the area from Sari, about 25 miles further south.

It can be learnt from the text that _____.

A. the news report is from Khemis Nagua                         B. the flood didn’t last long

C. hundreds of Moroccans were saved                       D. Casablanca is a city in Africa

Who's in control of your life? Who is pulling your string? For the majority of us, it's other people-society, colleagues, friends, family or our religious community. We learned this way of operating when we were very young, of course. We were brainwashed. We discovered that feeling important and feeling accepted was a nice experience and so we learned to do everything we could to make other people like us. As Oscar Wilde puts it, “Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry(模仿)，their passions a quotation.”

So when people tell us how wonderful we are, it makes us feel good. We long for this good feeling like a drug－we are addicted to it and seek it out wherever we can. Therefore, we are so eager for the approval of others that we live unhappy and limited lives failing to do the things we really want to. Just as drug addicts and alcoholics live worsened lives to keep getting their fix(一剂毒品)，we worsen our own existence to get our own constant fix of approval.

But just as with any drug, there is a price to pay. The price of the approval drug is freedom－the freedom to be ourselves. The truth is that we cannot-control what other people think. People have their own agenda(日程安排), and they come with their own baggage and, in the end, they're more interested in themselves than in you. Furthermore, if we try to live by the opinions of others, we will build our life on sinking sand. Everyone has a different way of thinking, and people change their opinions all the time. The person who tries to please everyone will only end up getting exhausted and probable pleasing no one in the process.

 So how can we take back control? I think there's only one way－make a conscious decision to stop caring what other people think. We should guide ourselves by means of a set of values－not values imposed from the outside by others, but innate values which come from within. If we are driven by these values and not by the changing opinions and value systems of others, we will live a more authentic(真实的), effective, purposeful and happy life.

What Oscar Wilde says implies that       .

  A. most people's thoughts are controlled by others.

  B. we have thoughts similar to those of others.

  C. most people have a variety of thoughts.

  D. other people's thoughts are more important.

What does the author try to argue in the third paragraph?

  A. The price of taking the drug is freedom.

  B. Changing opinions may cost us our freedom.

  C. We may lose ourselves to please others.

  D. We need to pay for what we want to get.

It can be concluded from the passage that      .

  A. it's important to accept others' opinions.

  B. it's better to do what we like.

  C. we shouldn't care what others think.

  D. we shouldn't change our won opinions.

The author tries to persuade the readers to accept his arguments mainly by      .

  A. making suggestions.                      B. analyzing causes and effects.                     

  C. providing examples and facts.        D. discussing questions
