Around twenty years ago I was living in York. 21 I had a lot of experience and a Master’s degree, I could not find 22 work.
I was 23 a school bus to make ends meet and 24 with a friend of mine, for I had lost my flat. I had 25 five interviews (面试) with a company and one day between bus runs they called to say I did not 26 the job. “Why has my life become so 27 ?” I thought painfully.
As I pulled the bus over to 28 a little girl, she handed me an earring 29 I should keep it 30 somebody claimed (认领) it. The earring was painted black and said “BE HAPPY”.
At first I got angry. Then it 31 me – I had been giving all of my 32 to what was going wrong with my 33 rather than what was right! I decided then and there to make a 34 of fifty things I was happy with. Later, I decided to 35 more things to the list. That night there was a phone call for 36 from a lady who was a director at a larger 37 . She asked me if I would 38 a one-day lecture on stress (压力) management to 200 medical workers. I said yes.
My 39 there went very well, and before long I got a well-paid job. To this day I know that it was because I changed my way of 40 that I completely changed my life.

举一反三
On a Friday night, a poor young artist stood at the gate of the subway station, playing his violin. Many people put some money into the 36 of the young man.
The next day, the young artist came again, and put his hat on the ground gracefully. 37 from the day before, he took out a large piece of 38 and laid it on the ground. Then he began 39 .
Before long, the young violinist was 40 with people, who were all attracted by the 41 on that paper, which said, "Last night, a gentleman named George Sang put something important into my hat 42 . Please come to claim(认领) it soon."
After half an hour, a middle-aged man ran there in a hurry and 43 through the crowd to the violinist and said, "Yes, it’s you. You did come here. I knew that you’re an honest man and would 44 come here."
"Are you Mr. George Sang?"
The man nodded.
"Did you 45 something?"
"Lottery (彩票). It’s lottery," said the man.
The violinist 46 a lottery ticket on which George Sang’ s name was seen. "Is it？" he asked.
George nodded, seized the lottery ticket and 47 it; then he danced with joy.
George bought a lottery ticket which 48 him a prize of $ 500,000. He was so happy after work and felt the violinist playing so wonderfully that he put 50 dollars in the hat. 49 , the lottery ticket was also thrown in.
When asked why he didn’t keep the lottery ticket 50 himself, the violinist said," 51 I don’t have much money, I live happily; but if I lose honesty, I won’t be happy forever."
We can gain and lose so much in our life. But being honest should 52 be with us. If we bear ourselves in a dishonest way, we 53 succeed temporarily (暂时). However, from the long-term view, we’11 be a loser. Such a person is just like the 54 on the mountain. It’s high above at first, but gradually it falls and loses the 55 of going up.

I was walking along the main street of a small seaside town in the north of England looking for somewhere to make a phone call．My car had broken down outside the town and I wanted to contact the AA Company．Low grey clouds were gathering across the sky and there was a cold damp wind blowing off the sea which nearly threw me off my feet every time I crossed one of the side streets．It had rained in the night and water was dropping from the bare trees that lined the street．I was glad that I was wearing a thick coat．
There was no sign of a call box, nor was there anyone at that early hour whom I could ask．I had thought I might find a shop open selling the Sunday papers or a milkman doing his rounds, but the town was completely dead．The only living thing I saw was a thin frightened cat outside a small restaurant．
Then suddenly I found what I was looking for．There was a small post office, and almost hidden from sight in a dark narrow street．Next to it was the town’s only public call box, which badly needed a coat of paint．I hurried forward, but stopped in astonishment when I saw through the dirty glass that there was a man inside．He was fat, and was wearing a cheap blue plastic raincoat．I could not see his face and he didn’t raise his head at the sound of my footsteps．
Carefully, I remained standing a few feet away and lit a cigarette to wait for my turn．It was when I threw the dead match on the ground that I noticed something bright red trickling from under the box call door．

Chinese female film stars, like Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi, due to the charm of their films, have set a good image for Chinese women in the world. Compared with Chinese women, the image of Chinese men is not so good in the eyes of Western women, the Shanghai Evening Post reported.
In March 2006, Zhang Jiehai, a doctorate（博士学位） holder at the Sociology Institute of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, led a research team to investigate how Western women look at Chinese men. The survey shows that many Western women think Chinese men are mostly known for their care for the family. Chinese men, as the Western women say, are willing to spend money for women. As to their shortcomings, Western women think that Chinese men do not have good manners and that some Chinese men have the habit of spitting everywhere, keeping nails and hair long, picking their noses and ears in public places, and not cleaning their teeth thoroughly. These bad habits make many Western women think that Chinese men are unwilling to take care of their personal image.
The survey was carried out in two ways, by questionnaires and interviews. All the respondents（调查对象） agreed that Chinese men show much tender loving care for the family and that many Chinese men do know how to respect women. They open the door for women and carry their handbags for them. For some American women, the bad image of Chinese men in the world is largely because of Hollywood films. In many Hollywood films, Chinese men usually do not have a good image. But this has been changed by Hong Kong film star Chow Yun-Fat. After the Chinese film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was shown in cinemas in the United States in 2002, many Westerners began to change their impression of Chinese men.
小题1:Which statement best expresses the main idea of the first paragraph?| A．Chinese female film stars enjoy as great fame as Chinese male film stars in the world. | | B．Chinese male film stars do not perform well in their films in the eyes of Western women. | | C．Chinese female film stars don’t like Western male film stars. | | D．Chinese female film stars have set a good image for Chinese women. |
小题2:Which is NOT mentioned as the shortcoming of Chinese men in Paragraph 2?| A．Spitting everywhere. | | B．Speaking too loudly in public places. | | C．Not cleaning their teeth thoroughly. | | D．Picking their noses and ears in public places. |
小题3:In some American women’s eyes, Chinese men’s images are bad because of ______.| A．Chinese female film stars | | B．Chinese male film stars | | C．Hollywood films | | D．Film stars in Hong Kong |
小题4:What does the passage mainly deal with?| A．Chinese men in the eyes of Western women. | | B．Foreign film stars and Chinese film stars. | | C．Chinese women in the eyes of Western men. | | D．Chinese film stars in Hollywood films. |
