When she was 15 she happened to walk into a bookstore in her hometown a

22、nd began looking at the books on the shelves. The man behind the counter, Mac McCarley, asked if shed like a job. She needed to start saving for college, so she said yes. Ann worked after school and during summer vacations, and the job helped pay for her first year of college. During college she wou

23、ld do many other jobs: she served coffee in the student union(学生会 ) , was a hotel maid and even made maps for the U. S. Forest Service. But selling books was one of the most satisfying jobs. One day a woman came into the bookstore and asked Ann for books on cancer (癌症 ). The woman seemed anxious. An

24、n showed her practically everything they had and found other books they could order. The woman left the store less worried, and Ann has always remembered the pride she felt in having helped her customer. Years later, as a television reporter in Los Angeles, Ann heard about a child who was born with

25、problems with his fingers and his hand. His family could not afford a surgical(外 科的 )operation, and the boy lived in shame, hiding his hand in his pocket all the time. Ann persuaded her boss to let her do the story. After the story was broadcast, a doctor and a nurse called, offering to perform the

26、surgical operation for free. Ann visited the boy in the recovery room after the operation. The first thing he did was to hold up his repaired hand and say, “Thank you. “ What a sweet sense of satisfaction Ann Curry felt! At McCarelys bookstore, Ann always sensed she was working for the customers, no

27、t the store. Today its the same. NBC News pays her, but she feels as if she works for the people who watch the programmes, helping them make sense of the world. 56 Ann Curry got her first job_. （ A） from her friend in a bookstore （ B） a couple of years before college （ C） at the NBC news “Today“show

29、ng stories. （ C） Being able to do different jobs well. （ D） Paying through her college education. 59 How did Ann help the child get the operation he needed? （ A） Ann persuaded the boy to speak on TV. （ B） Ann paid for the operation herself. （ C） Anns boss agreed to raise money. （ D） Anns news report

30、 moved some doctors. 59 A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in identically (同样地 )the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy tales as sacred (神圣的 ) texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, an

31、d, if a parent can produce what, in the actual circumstances(情况 )of the time and the individual (各自 ,单独 )child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better. A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or arou-sing(引起 )his sadistic impulse(冲动 ,反应 ).

32、To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy tales were more often guilty(内疚 )of cruelty(粗鲁 )than those who had not. Aggressive(好斗的 )，destructive(破坏性的 ) .sadistic impulses every child has and, on the whole, their symbolic verbal discharge s

33、eems to be rather a safety value than an incitement to overt action. As to fears, there are, I think, well-authenticated cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy tales. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition

34、 turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered. There are also people who object to fairy tales on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, two-headed dragons, magic carpets, etc, do not exist; and that, instead of indulging his fantasies in fairy

35、 tales, the child should be taught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics. I find such people. I must confess, so unsympathetic and peculiar that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of madmen attempting to fly from New York to P

36、hiladelphia on a broomstick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their enchanted girlfriend. No fairy tale ever claimed to be a description of the external world and no insane child has ever believed that it was. 60 The author considers that a fairy tale is more effective wh

37、en it is_. （ A） repeated without variation （ B） treated with reverence （ C） adapted by the parent （ D） set in the present 61 Some people dislike fairy tales because they feel they_. （ A） tempt people to be cruel to children （ B） show the primitive cruelty in children （ C） lend themselves to undesira

38、ble experiments with children （ D） increase a tendency to sadism in children 62 Fairy tales are a means by which childrens impulses may be_. （ A） beneficially channeled （ B） given a destructive tendency （ C） held back until maturity （ D） effectively suppressed 63 According to the passage great fear

39、can be stimulated in a child when the story is （ A） in a realistic setting （ B） heard for the first time （ C） repeated too often （ D） dramatically told 63 Mrs. White was 67 when she was moved out of the house where she had lived most of her life. The house was pulled down and a new block of flats wa

40、s built there instead. At about the same time her only son was offered a job in Canada. Since the shopping and the housework had become too much for her, and her son and his wife were not able to look after her any more, Mrs. White had to be taken to Homefield Old Peoples Home. She still had some fr

41、iends near her old home,but now she was separated form them. During the first few months she was visited by friends and former neighbours, but Homefield was a long way from where they lived, too far away for old people. At Homefield Mrs. White was given a small room of her own, and she was well look

42、ed after. But she knew no one when she arrived, and she was not able to make friends there. She was well liked by the people who worked there, but she kept apart from the other old people and spent most of her time in her room. After a time she was hardly ever seen at meetings and social evenings. A

43、lthough she was in poor health and had to be treated for a weak heart, she did not complain. “After all“, she said, “lots of people are worse off than I am“. What she disliked most was the“quietness “in the home, and what was even worse was that her son was not able to see her, not even at Christmas

See if you can locate a $ 5, $ 10,or $20 bill printed before 1964 and marked “Federal

47、 Reserve Note“ over the portrait. In the upperleft portion above the seal, a statement written in fine print says that the note is legal tender(法定货币 )and that it“is redeemable(可兑现的 ) in lawful money at the United States Treasury(美国财政部 ),or at any Federal Reserve Bank. “Does this mean that the bill i

48、s not lawful? At the bottom center the same bill says, “Will pay to the bearer on demand X dollars. “Does this mean that your X-dollar bill is not Xdollars? Much confusion exists about the real nature of money. Many people believe that money has no value unless it is backed by gold or silver. They t

49、hink that the Federal Reserve note is only a symbol for money, and that real money is the precious metal backing the note. Some people look on money as wealth and believe that it must have intrinsic(内在的 ) value. If we were to study the history of money, we would find that in different places and at different times a variety of things have been used as money. Cattle, shell, beads(珠子 ) tobacco leaves, and various metals including iron, zinc(锌 ), bronze
