16、e an arithmetic (36) to our class. When the papers were (37) she discovered that twelve boys had made the same mistakes throughout the test.There is really nothing new about (38) in the exams. Perhaps that was why Mrs. ONeill (39) even say a word about it. She only asked the twelve boys to (40) afte
17、r class. I was one of the twelve. Mrs. ONeill asked (41) questions, and she didnt (42) us either. She wrote on the blackboard the (43) words by Thomas Macaulay. She then ordered us to (44) these words into our exercise-books one hundred times.I dont (45) about the other eleven boys. Speaking for mys
18、elf I can say: it was the most important single (46) of my life. Thirty years after being introduced to Macaulays words, they (47) seem to me the best yard-stick(准绳), because they give us a (48) to measure ourselves rather than others.(49) of us are asked to make (50) decisions about nations going t
19、o war or armies going to battle. But all of us are called (51) daily to make a great many personal decisions.

Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it? Are you afraid to ask a boy (girl) f
23、or a date?Many people are afraid to assert themselves (insist upon their own rights)DrRobert Alberti, author of Stand Up Speak Out, and Talk Back, thinks its because their self-esteem (自尊) is low“Our whole set-up makes people doubt themselves,“ says Alberti. “Theres always a superior arounda parent,
24、 a teacher, a bosswho knows better“But Alberti and other scientists are doing something to help people to assert themselves. They offer “assertiveness training“ courses (AT). In the AT courses people learn that they have a right to be themselves. They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so.
25、 They learn to be aggressive (敢闯的,有闯劲儿的)without hurting other people.In one way, learning to speak out is to overcome fear. A group taking an AT course will help the timid person to lose his fear. But AT uses an even stronger motivethe need to share. The timid person speaks out in the group because
26、he wants to tell how he feels. AT says you can get to feel good about yourself. And once you do, you can learn to speak out.（分数：3.00）(1).In the passage, the writer talks about the problem that_（分数：1.00）A.some people are too easy-goingB.some people are too timidC.there are too many superiors around u

28、.One thing AT doesnt do is to_（分数：1.00）A.use the need of people to shareB.show people they have the right to be themselvesC.help people to be aggressive at anytime even when others sufferD.help people overcome fearBWe spent a day in the country, picking wild flowers. With the car full of flowers we
29、were going home. On our way back my wife noticed a cupboard (柜橱) outside a furniture shop. It was tall and narrow“Buy it, “my wife said at once“Well carry it home on the roof rackIve always wanted one like that“What could I do? Ten minutes later I was 20 poorer; and the cupboard was tied on the roof
30、 rack. It was six feet long and eighteen inches square, quite heavy too.In the gathering darkness I drove slowly. Other drivers seemed unusually polite that evening. The police even stopped traffic to let us through. Carrying furniture was a good idea.After a time my wife said，“Theres a long line of
31、 cars behind. Why dont they overtake, I wonder?“ In fact a police car did overtake. The two officers inside looked at us seriously as they passed. But then, with great kindness, they led us through the rush-hour traffic. The police car stopped at our village church. One of the officers came to me.“R
32、ight, sir, “he said. “Do you need any more help?“I was a bit puzzled. “Thanks, officer, “I said. “You have been very kind. I live just on the road.“He was staring at our car, first at the flowers, then at the cupboard. “Well, well, “he said, laughing. “Its a cupboard youve got there! We thought it w
33、as something else.“My wife began to laugh. The truth hit me like a stone between the eyes. I smiled at the officer. “Yes, its a cupboard, but thanks again“I drove home as fast as I could.（分数：4.00）(1).In fact the husband _ the cupboard.（分数：1.00）A.would like very much to buyB.badly wantedC.was glad to

36、that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self-made manthe man who has risen to the top through his own efforts, usually beginning by working with his hands. While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in
37、 the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort. This attitude toward manual (体力的)labor is now still seen in many aspects of American life.One is invited to dinner at
38、 a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriousl(豪华地)furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact that the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve
39、 it herself and will wash dishes afterward, furthermore the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily assembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishe
40、s. A professional man may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer he may

44、ble Self-made FamilyB.American Attitude toward Manual LaborC.Characteristics of American CultureD.The Development of Manual LaborDBeldon and Canfield are two seashore towns, not far apart. Both towns have many hotels, and in summer the hotels are full of holiday-makers and other tourists.Last August
45、 there was a fire at the Seabreeze Hotel in Beldon. The next day, this news appeared on page two of the towns newspaper. The Beldon Post:FIRE AT SEABREEZELate last night firemen hurried to the Seabreeze Hotel and quickly put out a small fire in a bedroom. The hotel manager said that a cigarette star

47、othes and some furniture at the Seabreeze Hotel. An angry holiday-maker said, “An electric lamp probably started the fire. The bedroom lamps are very old at some of these hotels. When I put my bedside light on, I heard a funny noise from the lamp“ We are glad to tell our readers that this sort of ad
48、venture does not happen in Canfield.What are the facts, then? It is never easy to find out the exact truth about an accident. There was a fire at the Seabreeze Hotel last August: that is one fact. Do we know anything else? Yes, we know that firemen went to the hotel.Now what do you think of the rest
