Life seemed 31 . The people who laughed as they walked past were taking their 32 for granted, just as he 33 himself. Now, however, he felt 34 and he couldn’t even show his disappointment in his 35. Seeking more personally satisfying 36 , he had just left a successful job as a commercial artist when it seemed that fate(命运)played a cruel 37 on him. It was at this time that he developed cancer and was 38 to work.. But that moment in the hotel was a turning point for Jimmy. He began to 39 the fact that there is no such thing as fate, only 40 .Since then, he has published several imaginative, illustrated(带插图的)books. According to Jimmy, you are 41 you choose to be. You can give up or you can work to be a happier person. Jimmy realized that, while the world 42 seems unfair, your choice can change your life. This idea can be 43 in Jimmy’s books, where his characters show the powerlessness they feel 44 making their choices. The message that goes with Jimmy’s drawings, however, is 45 . Though the world may make us feel small, we must be 46 . Everything will be all right for us –as it is for the ―small people‖ in Jimmy’s books-if we make choices that are 47 for us. In spite of his new 48 and wealth, Jimmy prefers working 49 at home with his wife and daughter. He spends his mornings drawing.

A famous French humorist once said that this is because the English insist on behaving like children all their lives. Wherever you go in this country you will see both children and grown-ups knocking a ball about with a stick or something, as if in Britain men shall always remain boys and women girls! Still, it can never be bad to get exercise, can it? Taking all amateur(业余)and professional sports in Britain into consideration, there can be no doubt that football is at the top of the list. It is called soccer in the United States. The game originated in Britain and was played in the Middle Ages or even earlier, though as an organized game, or ―association football‖, it dates only from the beginning of the 19th century. The next is rugby, which is called ―football‖ in the United States. It is a kind of football played by two teams of fifteen players rather than eleven. In rugby, an oval-shaped ball is used which can be handled as well as kicked. It is a pretty rough game. In summer, cricket is the most popular sport. In fact, it has sometimes been called the English national game. Most foreigners find the game rather slow or even boring, but it enjoys great popularity among the British. Tennis rates high on the list, too. It was introduced into England from France in the 15th century, but it was from England that it spread to practically every country in the world. Table-tennis, or ―ping-pong‖, surely is not played on a great scale as it is in China or Japan. Basketball and volleyball were introduced into Britain during the late 19th century from America and are gaining popularity. Horse-back riding, swimming, rowing and golf all attract a lot of people. 53(The main purpose of Paragraph 1 is to tell us that the English . A(are all sports lovers B(behave like children C(like to kick a ball around D(can remain young all their lives 54(According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true about football and rugby? A(They differ in the shape of the ball. B(They are played by different numbers of players. C(They both can be handled D(They both can be kicked. 55(The game that was never played in Britain until the late 19th century is . A(basketball B(tennis C(rugby D(football 56(What would be the best title for this passage? A(The Most Popular Sports B(The English Sports C(History of Sports D(Sports in Britain C Have you ever suddenly felt that someone you knew was in trouble—and was he? Have you ever dreamed something that came true later? Maybe you have ESP (超感觉知觉). ESP stands for Extrasensory Perception. It may be called a sixth sense. It seems to let people know about events before they happen, or events that are happening some distance away. Here’s an example. A woman was ironing clothes. Suddenly she screamed, ―My father is dead! I saw him sitting in the chair!‖ Just then, a telegram came. The woman’s father died of a heart attack. He died sitting in a chair. There are thousands of stories like this one on record. Scientists are studying them to find out what’s behind these strange mental messages. Here’s another example—one of hundreds of dreams that have come true. A man dreamed he was walking along a road when a horse and carriage came by. The driver said, ―There’s room for one more.‖ The man felt the driver seemed dead, so he ran away. The next day, when the man was getting on a crowded bus, the bus driver said, ―There’s room for one more.‖ Then the man saw that the driver’s face was the same face he had seen in the dream. He wouldn’t get on the bus. As the bus drove off, it crashed and burst into flames. Everyone was killed! Some people say stories like these are coincidences. Others, including some scientists, say that ESP is real. From studies of ESP, we may someday learn more about the human mind. 57(According to the passage, the author believes that the sixth sense is . A(in existence B(imaginative C(not real D(impossible 58(ESP lets people know . A(about events before they happen B(about events after they happen C(about events that are happening some distance away D(A and C 59(By studying ESP, scientists may get to . A(learn how people tell lies B(know more about human dreams C(know more about human mind D(learn how strange things happen (In the last paragraph the underlined word ―coincidences‖ probably means 60 . A(things that may not happen B(things that happen in a dream C(things that must happen D(things that happen by accident 61(This article is mainly about . A(the human dream B(the sixth sense C(the human mind D(a crowded bus D Nest time a customer comes to your office, offer him a cup of coffee. And when you’re doing your holiday shopping online, make sure you’re holding a large glass of iced tea. The physical sensation of warmth encourages emotional warmth, while a cold drink in hand prevents you from making unwise decisions—those are the practical lesson being drawn from recent research by psychologist John A. Bargh. Psychologists have known that one person’s perception of another’s ―warmth‖ is a powerful determiner in social relationships. Judging someone to be either ―warm‖ or ―cold‖ is a primary consideration, even beating evidence that a ―cold‖ person may be more capable. Much of this is rooted in very early childhood experiences, Bargh argues, when babies’ conceptual sense of the world around them is shaped by physical sensations, particularly warmth and coldness. Classic studies by Harry Harlow, published in 1958, showed monkeys preferred to stay close to a cloth ―mother‖ rather than one made of wire, even when the wire ―mother‖ carried a food bottle. Harlow’s work and later studies have led psychologists to stress the need for warm physical contact from caregivers to help young children grow into healthy adults with normal social skills. Feelings of ―warmth‖ and ―coldness‖ in social judgments appear to be universal. Although no worldwide study has been done, Bargh says that describing people as ―warm‖ or ―cold‖ is common to many cultures, and studies have found those perceptions influence judgment in dozens of countries. To test the relationship between physical and psychological warmth, Bargh conducted an experiment which involved 41 college students. A research assistant handed the students either a hot cup of coffee, or a cold drink, to hold while the researcher filled out a short information form. The drink was then handed back. After that, the students were asked to rate the personality of ―Person A‖ based on a particular description. Those who had briefly held the warm drink regarded Person A as warmer than those who had held the iced drink. ―We are grounded in our physical experiences even when we think abstractly,‖ says Bargh. 62. According to Paragraph 1, a person’s emotion may be affected by ______. A. the visitors to his office B. the psychology lessons he has C. his physical feeling of coldness D. the things he has bought online 63. The author mentions Harlow’s experiment to show that ______. A. adults should develop social skills B. babies need warm physical contact C. caregivers should be healthy adults D. monkeys have social relationships 64. In Bargh’s experiment, the students were asked to ______. A. evaluate someone’s personality B. write down their guesses C. fill out a personal information form D. hold coffee and cold drink alternatively 65. We can infer from the passage that ______. A. abstract thinking does not come from physical experiences B. feelings of warmth and coldness are studied worldwide C. physical temperature affects how we see others D. capable persons are often cold to others 66. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Drinking for Better Social Relationships. B. Experiments of Personality Evaluation. C. Developing Better Drinking Habits. D. Physical Sensations and Emotions. E In every British town, large and small, you will find shops that sell second-hand goods. Sometimes such shops deal mostly in furniture, sometimes in books, sometimes in ornaments and household goods, sometimes even in clothes. The furniture may often be "antique", and it may well have changed hands many times. It may also be very valuable, although the most valuable piece will usually go to the London salerooms, where one piece might well be sold for hundreds of thousands of pounds. As you look around these shops and see the polished wood of chests and tables, you cannot help thinking of those long-dead hands which polished that wood, of those now-closed eyes which once looked at these pieces with love. The books, too, may be antique and very precious; some may be rare first printings. Often when someone dies or has to move house, his books may all be sold, so that sometimes you may find whole libraries in one shop. On the border between England and Wales, there is a town which has become a huge bookshop as well. Even the cinema and castle have been taken over, and now books have replaced sheep as the town's main trade. There are also much more humble shops, sometimes simply called "junk shops", where you can buy small household pieces very cheaply. Sometimes the profits from these shops go to charity. Even these pieces, though, can make you feel sad; you think of those people who once treasured them, but who have moved on to another country or to death. Although the British do not worship(崇拜) their ancestors, they do treasure the past and the things of the past. This is true of houses as well. These days no one knocks them down; they are rebuilt until they are often better than new. In Britain, people do not buy something just because it is new. Old things are treasured for their proven worth; new things have to prove themselves before they are accepted. 67(Books found in second-hand book shops may_________. A(be copies of the earliest printings B(be on sale for the first time C(never be worth very much D(never be rare 68(Second-hand goods sometimes fill you with sadness because_________. A(they are too expensive for average buyers B(they remind you of the original owners C(they are now forgotten D(they are sold for charity 69(The average British person ___________. A(does not respect old things because they are not fashionable B(likes to build new houses simply because it is fashionable to do so C(likes to buy new things because they are fashionable D(does not like to buy things simply because they are fashionable 70(What does the underlined word "them" (Paragraph 4) refer to?
