This attitude really made me 24, so one day I asked him, “I don’t get it! No one can be a positive person 25. How can you manage it?”
“Every time something bad happens, I can choose to 26 it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining and I can 27 the positive side of life. Why don’t we just do that later?” Jerry said.
Jerry told me an unusual story out of his experience. One day he left the back door of his restaurant 28 and was robbed by three men. While trying to open the safe, his hand, shaking from 29 , slipped off the combination (开启号码的号码组合). The robbers got angry and 30 him.

“No,” Jerry said, “35 when I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared.”
“A nurse asked if I was allergic (过敏的) to anything. ‘Yes’ I replied. The doctors and nurses stopped 36 as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, ‘37 !’”
“Over the laughter, I told them, ‘Please 38 on me as if I am alive, not dead.’”

The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting (引用) a Biblical (圣经的) passage about husbands being considerate towards their wives. Then he went on to say, “Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change.
And it did. Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks great on you.”
“Oh, Tom, you noticed,” she said, surprised and pleased, maybe a little puzzled.
After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, “Evelyn’s been alone here with the kids all the week and now she wants to stay with me.” We walked on the beach when the children flew their kites.
So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that’s how the whole vacation passed, I made a new pledge to keep on remembering to choose love. There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today. Last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression.
“What’s the matter?” I asked her.
“Tom,” she said in a voice filled with sorrow, “do you know anything I don’t?”
“What do you mean?”
“Well…that checkup (体检) I had several weeks ago…our doctor…Did he tell you anything about me? Tom, you’ve been so good to me... Am I dying?”
It took a moment for it all to sink in. Then I burst out laughing.
“No, honey,” I said, wrapping her in my arms. “You’re not dying; I’m just starting to live.”

mbers was a successful PR (Public Relations) consultant (顾问) and life was going well—she had a great job, a beautiful flat and a busy social life in London. Then one evening in June last year, she received a text message telling her she was out of work. “The first two weeks were the most difficult to live through,” she said. “After everything I’d done for the company, they dismissed me by text
! I was so angry and I just didn’t feel like looking for another job. I hated everything about the city and my life.”Then, Zoe received an invitation from an old school friend, Kathy, to come and stay. Kathy and her husband, Huw, had just bought a farm in northwest Wales. Zoë jumped at the chance to spend a weekend away from London, and now, ten months later, she is still on the farm.
“The moment I arrived at Kathy’s farm, I loved it and I knew I wanted to stay,”said Zoe.“Everything about my past life suddenly seemed meaningless.”
Zoe has been working on the farm since October of last year and says she has no regrets. “It’s a hard life, physically very tiring,” she says.“In London I was stressed and often mentally exhausted. But this is a good, healthy tiredness. Here, all I need to put me in a good mood is a hot bath and one of Kathy’s wonderful dinners.”
Zoe says she has never felt bored on the farm. Every day brings a new experience. Kathy has been teaching her how to ride a horse and she has learnt to drive a tractor. Since Christmas, she has been helping with the lambing—watching a lamb being born is unbelievable, she says,“It’s one of the most moving experiences I’ve ever had. I could never go back to city life now.”
小题1: When she worked as a PR consultant in London, Zoë thought she lived a life.
| A．meaningless | B．tough | C．boring | D．satisfying |
| A．Kathy persuaded her to do so | B．Zoe lost her job as a PR consultant |
| C．Zoe got tired of the city life | D．Zoe loved Wales more than London |
| A．Physically tiring but rewarding. | B．Romantic and peaceful. |
| C．Mentally exhausting but healthy. | D．Tiresome and troublesome |
| A．A friend in need is a friend indeed. | B．A misfortune may turn out a blessing. |
| C．Kill two birds with one stone. | D．Where there is a will, there is a way. |

few months later, Jackson was dead．With the late pop star’s return to radio, television and the cultural events, Forbes judges that Jackson has made $90 million since his death June 25．This figure is based on his royalties（版税） from album sales, radio play, rights to his name and royalties from his stock in the Sony/ATV music catalog （编目权）．Jackson"s music was his most easily-seen source in the last months．“Nothing increases the value of an artist than death ．．．an untimely death,” says Barry Massarsky, a music industry economist．
The music"s immediate value was clear．Since June, Jackson has sold more than 5．9 million albums in the U．S．and another 4．5 million overseas．In the first weeks after his death, there were 5．6 million single downloads across North America, Europe and Australia．Jackson recently has three of the top 20 best-selling albums of the year in the US, according to Nielsen SoundScan．His 2003 hits album Number Ones is the best seller of the year, beating Taylor Swift"s Fearless．
More than 500,000 Jackson ringtones and 100,000 music videos were sold．In the week following his death, songs by The Jackson 5, The Jacksons and Michael were played over 100,000 times on the radio, according to Nielsen BDS．
Jackson"s estate（遗产）will likely see more money by the end of this year, as it has rights to some of the profits from This Is It as well as the two-di
sc album of the same name．The estate will share 90% of the film profits with AEG．Ticket sales from an exhibit opening in London will also contribute a likely profit．Hundreds of Jackson"s personal belongings－his L．A．Rolls Royce etc－will remain on show for three months at the O2 Arena for fans willing to shell out $25 for a view．
The pop singer bought ATV Publishing, for $47．5 million in 1985．Ten years later, he sold the catalog to Sony for $95 million and took a 50% stock in Sony/ATV, which is now worth about $1．7 to $2 billion．So he still owned half the Sony/ATV catalog at his death．
Jackson"s future earning potential is based on his stock in valuable music as well as the value of his image（肖像）．As many musicians, actors and artists before him, Jackson"s fame could have a long tail on the market with allowable products, advertising and entertainment events．
小题1:What do Barry Massarsky’s words in Paragraph 3 imply?
| A．Jackson died at the time as expected． |
| B．Only at death can an artist become famous． |
| C．Jackson became more famous at death than when he was alive． |
| D．Jackson’s unexpected death raised his value as an artist immediately． |
lowing is true EXCEPT that _____．A．“This is it” is the last concert that Jackson gave
B．Jackson has sold 10．4 million albums since June
C．Jackson’s L．A．Rolls Royce is now for show and will finally be sold
D．Jackson’s stock in music and his image will keep on earning money in the future
小题3:What can be inferred from the passage?
| A．Jackson’s album Number Ones beat Taylor Swift’s Fearless in 2003． |
| B．Taylor Swift’s Fearless is the second best seller of music albums of 2009． |
| C．AEG takes in more film profits from “This is it” than Jackson’s estate． |
| D．More Jackson’s music videos were sold than his ringtones right after his death． |
| A．Why Michael Jackson’s music is so popular all over the world． |
| B．How Michael Jackson has earned $90 million in the months since his death． |
| C．What Michael Jackson"s future earning potential is based on． |
| D．How much Michael Jackson earned in the first few months after his death． |
