If we were to keep a record of all the things we worried about during a given period of time，we would discover—in reviewing them—that the great majority of our 16 never come to pass. This means that most of the time we 17 to worrying，even the constructive（建设性的）kind that prompts us to try to come up with a 18 to what is troubling us，is wasted. 19 ，we not only caused ourselves unnecessary mental pain，but also 20 valuable minutes and hours that could have been spent elsewhere.
To 21 this，it is often necessary to subject（使……遭受）potential 22 of worry to the coldly objective. Once，before a major 23 in front of a standing-room-only audience，a member of Arturo Toscanini’s orchestra approached（接近）the great Italian conductor with a terrible 24 on his face．“Maestro（大师），”the musician said 25 ，“my instrument is not working 26 ．I cannot reach the 27 of E-flat．Whatever will I do？We are to 28 a few moments later．”
Toscanini looked with total 29 at the man．Then he 30 kindly and placed an arm around his shoulders．“My friend，”the maestro replied，“do not worry about it．The note E-flat does not 31 anywhere in the music that you will be 32 this evening．”
The next time we find ourselves in the middle of 33 about some matter，we might be wise to 34 and ask ourselves what the odds（几率）are of the problem really coming to 35 .We may be able to go on to something more constructive．

举一反三
But just a short walk from Manhattan’s skyscrapers, George Brown sits on the side-walk, cooking a lunch of rice and bits of fish over a can of cooking fuel.
Brown is homeless——one of the 2.3 million people in the US who end up on the street.
During the day, Brown collects aluminum cans and sells them for five cents a piece. At night, he sleeps on the street.
“I have been on the street about eight or nine years, something like that,” said the 62-year-old former construction worker.
Brown admits he had problems with alcohol and has smoked cocaine. But he said he still wants a more stable housing arrangement. He could afford it just with the money he earns by collecting cans and small pieces of metal, if only truly low-income housing were available.
However, he sees no hope of finding affordable housing in New York.
With the strong economy and unemployment down, beautiful housing is being built to meet demand.
A US report shows rents in New York City rose more than 27 per cent, from ＄549 to ＄700 a month.
One of the side effects of the strong economy is that rents have been going up.
The majority of people who experience homelessness really just need some affordable housing help.
But few housing companies are building for the poor. Many small apartments in the city now rent for ＄1,500 a month or more.
Brown, the homeless New Yorker, said he has a daughter who lives in the city but he rarely sees her. She is angry about his drinking and won’t allow it in her house.
Smiling, he said he also has seven grandchildren whom he’d like to see more often. “All I’ve got to do is clean up my act,” he said.
小题1:What kind of life does George Brown lead?
| A．Stable. | B．Dangerous. | C．Hard. | D．Comfortable. |
| A．America is short of housing companies |
| B．the poor can’t benefit from the increasing economy |
| C．poor people in America will become rich |
| D．housing companies will build more houses for the poor |
A. remove my cans B kick my bad habits
C. make a lot of money D. see my grandchildren
小题4:Which part of a newspaper is the passage possibly taken from?
| A．Society. | B．Science. | C．Arts. | D．Business. |
When he came back, he found that he had had a visitor. Someone had broken into his house. The visitor had had a drink, smoked several of his cigarettes and had read his story. The visitor left him a note.
“I have read your story and I don’t think it is very good. Please read my suggestions and you can finish it. By the way, I am a thief. I’m not going to steal anything tonight. But if you become a successful writer, I will return.”
John read the thief’s suggestions. Then he sat down and wrote the rest of the story. He is still not a successful writer, and he is waiting for his “visitor” to return. Before he goes out in the evening, he always leaves a half-finished story in his study.
56. Detective stories are stories about .
A. science B. children C. the future D. the police
57. John went to the cinema because .
A. he was too tired

I got lots of interesting experiences in a free school. At first I couldn’t believe it. There were no 41 in rows or loud-sounding bells, nor did anyone have to go to 42 . Although we lived “in”, 43 made us go to bed at a certain time; there was no “ lights out”.
The 44 thing was that practically all the students went to class, and very few people stayed up late at night. Only the new people stayed up or 45 class. The new ones always went wild 46 , but his wildness never lasted long. The freedom took some getting used to.

The subjects were the same as those in the ___50_____ school, but what a difference in the method!

They did this instead of having lessons in the classroom. They really had a 54 time, too, designing everything, drawing the blueprints(蓝图;设计图), figuring out the angles and so on. I didn’t take 55__ . But I could do the basic things with numbers. That’s 56 .
57_ I think I am a 58 person for having gone to the school. I can read and write as well as anyone else of my age, and I think better. That’s probably a real big ___59 between the free school and the regular school--- the amount of 60 .

Companies pay for a film to place their products in the movie. Product placement took off in the West in the 1980s and is now catching on in China. Two Hunan Satellite TV series are recent examples：Ugly Wudi and Let’s Go Watch the Meteror Shower（《一起去看流星雨》）. Shampoo, mobile phones, cars— anything can be product-placed. Advertisers value the great appeal (吸引力) of the movies, knowing that a successful film can showcase their goods to hundreds of thousands of viewers. But when product placement takes over, artistic value can take a back seat.
Cai Zhiyong has been product-placing for years. The Beijing-based advertiser admits there is a conflict between art and business. He explains cash-strapped filmmakers often have to sacrifice (牺牲) the quality of their work because they need money from advertisers. In the original story for Meteor Shower, the heroine’s mother owned an ice cream shop. But no ice cream company wanted to give away money to the film. For this reason, the story was changed. In the film the man drinks 20 cups of milk tea where it was originally intended that he would eat ice cream.
Even here incredible, you may see the power of business over the movies, since the flim was perhaps written so that a product could be placed— whether it was ice cream or milk tea.
James Bond movies are mentioned in the first paragraph to show _________.
A. how popular James Bond is B. how great the Aston Martin car is
C. how to make a movie more artistic D. how well product placement works
Product placement can have a bad effect on the _________ of a movie.
A. sound effect B. appeal
C. commercial success D. artistic value
What does the underlined word “cash-strapped” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
A. Short of money. B. Self-moneymaking
C. With a lot of cash. D. Intending to earn money
We can learn from the example of Meteor Shower that __________.
A. business has a big say in the movie
B. the original story was not good for a movie
C. filmmakers care more about making money.
D. milk tea companies are more successful than ice cream companies.

Events took place around the world last week to celebrate International Women’s Day.
The March eighth observance came as thousands of delegates from one hundred thirty countries met at the United Nations in New York. They discussed progress on a plan of action for women"s equality. The document was approved ten years ago at a conference in Beijing.

In Washington, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice held a Conference of Women Leaders. Laura Bush, the president"s wife, spoke at the event which had representatives from fifteen Muslim nations. The first lady praised recent political gains for Muslim women.

In Iraq, women hold almost one-third of the 249 seats in the newly elected National Assembly. And Missus Bush noted that nearly half the voters in the Palestinian presidential election were women.

Also last Monday, Human Rights Watch released a report on sexual violence by soldiers and members of armed groups in eastern Congo. The New York-based group says tens of thousands of women and young girls have been raped and beaten. Yet it says almost all the crimes have gone without punishment.
