My elder brother Steve, in the absence of my father who died when I was six, gave me important instructions that helped me grow into an adult． For example, Steve taught me to face the 36 of my behavior． Once when I returned in 37 from a Saturday baseball game, it was Steve who 38 the time to ask me what happened． When I
39 that my baseball had flown through Mrs．Holt’s basement window, 40 the glass with a crash, Steve encouraged me to 41 to her． 42 , I should have been playing in the path between buildings． 43 my knees shocked as I explained, I offered to pay for the window if she would 44 my ball．

Yet of all the 50 Steve gave me, his respect for 51 is the most vivid in my mind． When I was twelve I killed an old brown sparrow in the yard with a BB gun． 52
with my accuracy, I screamed to Steve to take a look． I shall never forget the 53 : he stood for a long moment and stared at the bird on the ground． “Did it 54 you first, Mark?” he asked． I didn’t know what to answer． I really felt terrible then, but that moment 55 out as the most important lesson my brother taught me．

A
George Banks was a clever journalist． He worked for a good newspaper, and he liked arguing with anybody, and about anything． Sometimes the people whom he argued with were as clever as he was, but often they were not．
He did not mind arguing with stupid people at all: he knew that he could never persuade them to agree, because they could never really understand what he was saying, and the stupider they were, the surer they were that they were right, but he often found that stupid people said very amusing things．
At the end of one argument which George had with one of these less clever people, the man said something which George has always remembered and which has always amused him． It was, “Well, sir, you should never forget this: there are always three answers to every question, your answer, my answer, and the correct answer．”

B
One cold morning in winter, when I was a little boy, a smiling man with an ax on his shoulder stopped me, saying: “My pretty boy, has your father a grindstone（砂轮）”
“Yes, sir,” said I．
“You are a fine little fellow!” said the man． “Will you let me grind（磨） my ax?”
Pleased with the flattery, I answered, “Oh, yes, sir． The grindstone is down in the shop．”
Patting me on my head, he said, “Will you get me some hot water?” I ran and brought the hot water．
“How old are you, and what is your name?” he asked without waiting for a reply, “I’m sure you are one of the finest boys I have ever seen． Will you turn the grindstone a few minutes for me?”
Hearing the flattery again, I went to work with a will． It was a new ax, and I worked hard until I was almost tired to death． The school bell rang, but I could not get away, because the ax was not half ground．
At last, however, it was sharpened． Then the man turned to me and said, “Now, you little rascal(小坏蛋), you’ve played truant(逃课)! Run to school, or you’ll be sorry!”
“Alas!” thought I． “It was hard enough to turn a grindstone this old day, but now to be called a rascal is too much．”
The memory of turning the grindstone that winter morning sank into my mind． I have thought of it since． Now, whenever I hear words of flattery, I say to myself． “That man has an ax to grind．”

D
He looks like somebody important! I remember thinking about a middle-aged man standing at a checkout counter． Something set him apart． Even the boy bagging groceries seemed to sense it． He sped up than usual as he glanced with respect at the man．
Trying to find out what was different about him, I found that he looked quite ordinary． Although he gave the impression of being tall, I could see he was actually a little shorter than average． His appearance wasn’t particularly outstanding, and he was wearing plain weekend sports attire ( 运动休闲装 )． Not until the man was leaving did it strike me． He carried himself as if he were somebody worth caring about． Head up and chest out, he walked proudly from the market． I watched the other shoppers as they looked down over their baskets． And me? In the glass of the store’s side doors, I saw reflected ( 映现 ) a worn-out housewife who looked as if she’d carried too many bags of groceries．
Suddenly, the words I’d heard my mother repeat hundreds of times as I was growing up held new meaning． “Stand up straight ! Lift yourself by pretending strings are pulling you from the tops of your ears．” I thought of myself being pulled up ． I felt taller as I came nearer to the market’s doors． This time I saw reflected a woman who looked as if she knew where she was going! But as I rushed home in five o’clock traffic and tried to fix dinner before a seven o’clock meeting, my good manners disappeared． It wasn’t until the next day as I was trying on clothes in a department store that I remembered again． Each thing I put on seemed wrong． Suddenly I recalled the man in the supermarket． I lifted myself up． The dress looked nicer on me． I liked the dress! Sure enough, I looked five to seven pounds lighter． Dieting titles I’d read came to mind, such as “How to Lose Pounds in Weeks?” Now I had a new title: “How to Look Thinner in Seconds．”
68．The boy bagging groceries glanced with respect at the man because ____ ．
A．the man gave him some tips for his service
B．the man walked in a strange way in the supermarket
C．his manners was different from the other people in the supermarket
D．the man was a special person for him
69．The writer looked five to seven pounds lighter because _________ ．
A．she was having a diet
B．she stood straight up
C．she was taking exercise
D．she wore a beautiful dress
70．The underlined phrase “ set him apart ” in the first passage probably means ．
A．made him unordinary
B．made him strange
C．made him handsome
D．upset him
A man living absolutely alone in a desert or forest is free from other people; but he is not absolutely free. His freedom is limited in several ways. Firstly, by the things around him, such as wild animals or cliffs. Secondly, by his own needs: he must have sleep, water, food and shelter from extreme heat or cold. Lastly, by his own nature as a man: disease may attack him, and death will certainly come to him sooner or later.
On the other hand, when men become organized into very large groups and civilization develops, it is possible to get freedom from hunger, thirst, cold, heat, and many diseases, so that each person can live a happier life than he could if he were living alone; but such a society can not work successfully unless the freedom of each human being is to some extent limited so that he is kept from hurting others. I am not free to kill others, nor to steal someone else’s property , nor to act in a way that does wrong against the moral sense of the society in which we live. I have to limit my own freedom myself so that others will not limit it too much: I agree to respect the rights of others, and in return they agree to respect mine.
The advantages of such an agreement are great: one can become a doctor knowing that others will grow food, make clothes and build a house for him, in return for the work he does to keep them healthy. If each man had to grow his own food, make his own clothes, build his own house and learn to be his own doctor, he would find it impossible to do any one of these jobs really well. By working together, we make it possible for society to provide us all with food , clothes, shelter and medical care, while leaving each of us with as much freedom as it can.
64. A man living alone in a desert or forest .
A. is absolutely free B. feels happy
C . has limited freedom D. enjoys no freedom
65. According to the writer, he limits his freedom because .
A. hunger, thirst and disease limit him B. others won’t limit theirs
C . the moral sense of the society limits him D. others will respect his
66. The author suggests that when men live together .
A. they have a safer and easier life B. they are not free at all
C . they must build shelters for others D. they can get more protection
67.This text is written mainly to show that .
A. one can have all his freedom by living on his own
B. one has limited freedom just because of his own nature
C . one must fight for his freedom if he’s free from other people
D. one will have much freedom by working together with others
信息匹配题
A. Speak, speak, speak
Practise speaking as often as you can---even speaking to yourself is good practice. Try recording yourself whenever you can. Compare your pronunciation with the master version(版本), see how you can do better and have another go. If you do this several times, you will find that each version is better than the last.
B. Why not learn with someone else?
It helps if you can learn with someone else. If you can persuade a friend or family member to study with you, it will make you keep working. Agree times to meet and set goals for the week. And test each other regularly.
C . Don’t get a shock by a word you don’t know
Practise improvising（即兴的） ways of getting your meaning across when speaking spontaneously（本能地）, even if you don’t know the exact words or phrases. Think of things you might want to say whenever you have spare time. A basic example is the use of tenses. If you don’t know the past tense but want to talk about yesterday, use the verb in the present tense and use the word “yesterday”.
Use facial expressions, hand movements, anything to get your meaning across.
Language learning is also about intuition（直觉）.
Guesswork is an important strategy in learning a new language. When listening to recorded material, you aren’t expected to understand everything first time round. If you play the same piece several times, you will most probably understand something new each time. Learn to make maximum use of all the clues you can pick up. For example, what do the speakers sound like? happy, angry, calm etc.
E. Build up your vocabulary.
A wide vocabulary is the key to successful language learning but don’t try to learn too much at once. It’s best to study frequently, for short periods of time. Take a maximum of six or seven items of vocabulary and learn them. Put them into sentences to fix them in your mind, then come back to them later. Much of the vocabulary in the course is presented by topic. And above all, have fun!
