16、mes happy, and the other becomes U(22) /U . This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, and events, and the resulting effects upon their minds.People who are to be happy fix their attention on the U(23) /U of things, the pleasant part of convention, the fine weather.
17、They enjoy all the U(24) /U things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the U(25) /U things. Therefore, they are continually U(26) /U By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend many people, and make themselves U(27) /U everywhere. If this turn of mind were found in n
18、ature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The tendency to criticize and to be disgusted is perhaps taken up originally U(28) /U. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it are convinced of its bad effects U(
19、29) /U. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.

For each question, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and then mark the corresponding lett
29、er on the answer sheet with a single line through the centre.Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Of all figures from Americas past, Abraham Lincoln is dearest to the hearts of the American people. In fact, the admiration they have for him borders on worship. Writers note that the L
30、incoln Memorial in Washington. DC is not unlike the temples that ancient Greeks built in honor of their gods, and that annual ceremonies of celebrating Lincolns birthday in schools and public places have sometimes had characteristics of religious services. Certainly Lincoln is Americas ideal of a gr
31、eat leader. He had many of the qualities of leadership that Americans admire.First of all, Lincolns career fits popular American belief that every child can dream of becoming president. Americans admire the person-the one who, with neither money nor family influence, fights his or her way to the top
32、. Lincoln was born of poor parents. His mother died when he was young. He had little opportunity for schooling. His early study was done alone at night by the light of a fireplace. He did hard manual labor through the day-splitting rails for fences, taking care of livestock, working on riverboat or
33、in store. But as he grew older he studied law in his spare time and become a lawyer. He was a good speaker and student of political philosophy. His ability finally made a name for him and eventually, he became president of the United States.Lincoln is also admired because of his leadership during th
34、e difficult period of the Civil War. He dared to do what he thought was right at a time when his beliefs were unpopular with many people. He, in a sense, represents the spirit of union among the states. Before the Civil War, the economy of the South depended on an agricultural system, which made use
35、 of slave labor. When reformers in the northern states put pressure on Congress not to permit to secede or withdraw from the United States, they argued that the question of slavery was a matter for the individual states to decide rather than the federal government, and they did not want to accept it
36、s decision. The national government said that no state had the right to secede, and the Civil War was the result. If the south had won the war, the Unites States might well have been divided into several countries. Lincoln worked hard to preserve the union, and the northern states were victorious.Fu
37、rthermore, Lincoln had many personal qualities that made him dear to the hearts of his countrymen. He had infinite patience and tolerance for those who disagreed with him. As president, he appointed men to high government positions whom he considered most capable, even though some of them openly sco
38、rned him. He was generous to his opponents. There are many stories about his thoughtful treatment of southern leaders. When the war was over, he showed the South no hatred. Since generosity toward a defeated opponent is admired by Americans, Lincoln fitted the national ideal of what is right.Shortly
39、 after the Civil War ended, Lincoln was shot while attending a play in Washington Theater. He died within a few hours. The uncontrolled emotional reaction of the nation to his death was almost unbelievable and demonstrated the deep esteem in which he was held. Newspapers were edged with black; relig
40、ious leaders gave praise of Lincoln instead of their prepared sermons. His funeral procession in Washington was miles long. Lincolns body was taken by train back to his former home in Springfield, Illinois, but in all the major cities through which the train passed, the coffin was paraded through st
41、reets lined with sorrowful thousands. In the small towns through which the train passed bells rang in honor of the dead president. Citizens lit torches along the railroad track to show their last respect.The circumstances of his death set Lincoln apart from other American leaders. Had Lincoln lived,
42、 it might well be that his postwar policies would have brought criticisms upon him that would have tarnished his popularity. Instead, an assassins bullet erased in the minds of Americans any faults he had and emphasized his virtues.Questions :(分数:5.00)(1).What are the aspects that made Lincoln ideal
43、 of a great leader?(分数:1.00)A.Lincolns career and family.B.Lincoln was a self-made person.C.Lincolns leadership during the difficult period of the Civil War.D.His career, leadership, generosity and right time of death.(2).Lincolns beliefs used to be _.(分数:1.00)A.unpopular with many people during the
