Compassion(同情)is a desire within us to help others．With efforts，we can translate compassion into actions．An experience last weekend showed me this is true．
I work part—time in a supermarket across from a building for the elderly These old people are our main customers，and it’s easy to lose patience over their slowness．But last Sunday，one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson．This untidy marl walked up to my register(收款机)with a box of biscuits．He said he was out of cash，had just moved into his room，and had nothing in his cupboards．He asked if we could let him have the food on trust．He promised to repay me the next day．
I couldn’t help staring at him．I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before，and what he would be like if luck had gone his way．I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul，all alone in the world．I told him that I was sorry，and the store rules didn’t allow me to do so．I felt stupid and unkind saying this，but I valued my job .Just then，another man，standing behind the first，spoke up．if anything，he looked more pitiable，“Charge it to me，”was all he said．
What I had been feeling was pity．Pity is soft，safe and easy．Compassion，on the other hand，is caring in action．I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed，either．Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion．
64．The aged gentleman who wanted to buy the biscuits ．
A．promised to obey the store rules
B．f
orgot to take any money with himC

The teacher looked at him, smiled and said, “I will tell you a story. An elephant was standing and picking leaves from a tree. A small fly came, flying and buzzing near his ear. The elephant waved it away with his long ears. Then the fly came again, and the elephant waved it away denovo”. This was repeated several times. Then the elephant asked the fly, “Why are you so restless and noisy? Why can"t you stay for a while in one place?" The fly answered, "I am attracted to whatever I see, hear or smell. My five senses pull me constantly in all directions and I cannot resist them. What is your secret? How can you stay so calm and still?" The elephant stopped eating and said, “My five senses do not rule my attention. Whatever I do, I get immersed(沉湎于) in it. Now that I am eating, I am completely immersed in eating. In this way I can enjoy my food and chew（咀嚼）it better. I rule and control my attention, and not the other way around."
The student"s eyes opened wide and smile rose on his face. "I understand! If my five senses are in control of my mind and attention, then my mind is in constant unrest. If I am in charge of my five senses and attention, then my mind becomes calm".

One autumn morning 6 years ago, Johnson Liao was crying in the hall of Taipei’s Sherwood Hotel, life seemed unfair. The people who laughed as they walked 36 were taking their health 37 granted, just as he 38 himself. Now, 39__, he felt helpless—and he couldn’t even show his disappointment in his 40 .
Seeking more personally satisfying 41 , he had just left a successful job as a commercial artist when it seemed that fate（命运）played a cruel trick on him. It was at this time 42 he developed cancer and was 43 to work. But that moment in the hotel was a turning point for Johnson. He began to 44 the fact that there is no such a thing as fate, only 45 . Since then, he has published several imaginative, illustrated（带插图的）books.
According to Johnson, you are 46 you choose to be. You can give up or you can work to be a happier person. Johnson realized that, while the world 47 seems unfair, your choice can change your life.
This idea can be 48 in Johnson’s books, where his characters show the powerlessness they feel 49 making their choices. The message that goes with Johnson’s drawings, however, is 50 .Though the world may make us feel small, we must be 51 . Everything will be all right for us—as it is for the “small people” in Johnson’s books—if we make choices that are 52 for us.

第三部分阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

Nowadays, we hear a lot about the growing threat of globalization, accompanied by those warnings that the rich pattern of local life is being undermined（破坏）, and many dialects and traditions are becoming extinct. But stop and think for a moment about the many positive aspects that globalization is bringing. Read on and you are sure to feel comforted, ready to face the global future
Consider the Internet, that good example of our shrinking world. Leaving aside the worries about political extremism, even the most narrow-minded must admit that the net offers a lot of benefits, not just in terms of education, the sector（部分）for which it was originally designed, but more importantly on a global level, the spread of news and comment. It will be increasingly difficult for politicians to misinform the public, as the oppressed（被压迫的）will not only find support and comfort, but also be able to organize themselves more effectively.
MTV is another global provider that is often criticized for imposing（强加）popular culture on the unsuspecting millions around the world. Yet the viewers’ judgment on MTV is undoubtedly positive; it is regarded as necessary by most of the global teenage generation who watch it, a vital part of growing up. And in the final analysis, what harm can a few songs and videos cause?
Is the world dominance（绝对优势）of brands like Nike and Coca-Cola so bad for us, when all is said and done? Sportswear and soft drinks are harmless products when compared to the many other things that have been globally available for a longer period of time----heroin and cocaine, for example. In any case, just because Nike shoes and Coke cans are for sale, it doesn’t mean you have to buy them----even globalization cannot take away people’s free will.
Critics of globalization can stop presenting their doom and gloom statements. Life goes on, and has more to offer for many citizens of the world than it did for their parents’ generation.
56．Some people feel sad about globalization because they believe it will ____________.
A．affect the rich local life
B．bring threat to the world peace
C．change their present easy lifestyle
D．increase the size of people speaking dialects
57．Internet was originally designed ______________.
A．to spread news and comment
B．to get support and comfort
C．to organize the oppressed more effectively
D．to promote education
58. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. The Internet makes people worried about political extremism.
B. Nike and Coca-cola shouldn’t have caused so much worry.
C. All of the global teenage generation think that MTV is a necessary and important part for their growing up.
D. Sportswear and soft drinks cannot be compared with drug.
59．Which of the following could be the best title of the passage?
A．Globalization is Standardization（标准化）
B．Globalization: Don’t Worry, Be Happy
C．Globalization: Like it or change it
D．Globalization Brings Equality
On February seventeenth, the Westland/Hallmark Meat Company of Chino, California, recalled almost sixty-five kilograms of beef. The government declared the products unfit for human food, Officials at the Department of Agriculture said the cattle did not receive complete and proper inspection.
The beef recall was the largest in American history. But the government rated the health risk as low. No cases of sickness have been reported.
The beef was produced over the last two years. Almost all of it went to federal programs to provide lunches for schoolchildren. Some also went to federal programs for Indian reservations and emergency food aid.
About half of the beef had already been used when the recall took place. The recall followed the public release of video secretly recorded by the Humane Society of the United States. The video showed workers at the Chino slaughterhouse (屠宰场) mistreating “downers”---- the name for sick or injured cows unable to stand.
The workers kicked them and shot water at their faces. They also used electric shocks and forklift trucks to force the animals to their feet. The Agricultural Department bans downer cattle from entering the food supply. The ban is part of measures to protect against the human version of mad cow disease.
Westland/ Hallmark is closed until investigations are completed, and its deals to supply federal programs are suspended. Local officials have brought animal cruelty charges against two employees. And lawmakers in Congress have ordered the head of the company to appear at a hearing this week, saying he refused an earlier invitation.
At the end of February, the Humane Society brought a lawsuit against the Agriculture Department over a change in its inspection rules. The group says the change made last year could make it easier for sick and injured cows to enter the food supply.
Officials defend the inspection process, but have also announced new measures, including inspections outside approved hours of operation.
When food recalls are announced, they often include the names of some of the stores that were supplied with the products. But under a new state law, California has published an online list of names, addresses and phone numbers of thousands of places affected by the beef recall. These include markets, restaurants, hotels and school systems.
68．What caused the recall of the beef?
A．The release of the video recorded secretly
B．The poor inspection to the beef industry
C．The illness caused by the beef.
D．The investigation of the Agriculture Department
69．Why did the Humane Department Society bring a lawsuit against the Agriculture Department?
A．The Agriculture Department failed to inspect the beef.
B．The Agriculture Department changed its inspection rules.
C．The changed inspection rules are not suitable for the beef industry.
D．The sick and injured cows are easy to enter the food supply.
70．Which of the following statements is true?
A．Half of the beef from the company proves to be poisonous.
B．The beef has made lots of people sick.
C．The employer of the company was accused of what his workers did to the cattle.
D．Almost all of the beef went to the lunches for school children.
71．What is the meaning of the underlined word “suspended” in Para 6?
A．held back B．called off C．put off D．slow down
