For several days I saw little of Mr. Rochester. In the morning he seemed very busy with business,and in the afternoon gentlemen from the neighborhood called and sometimes stayed to dine with him. When his foot was well enough, he rode out a great deal.
During this time, all my knowledge of him was limited to occasional meetings about the house, when he would sometimes pass me coldly, and sometimes bow and smile. His changes of manner did not offend me, because I saw that I had nothing to do with the cause of them.
One evening, several days later, I was invited to talk to Mr. Rochester after dinner. He was sitting in his armchair, and looked not quite so severe, and much less gloomy. There was a smile on his lips, and his eyes were bright, probably with wine. As I was looking at him, he suddenly turned and asked me, “Do you think I am handsome, Miss Eyre?”
The answer somehow slipped from my tongue before I realized it: “No, sir.” “Ah,you really are unusual! You are a quiet, serious little person, but you can be almost rude.” “Sir,I"m sorry. I should have said that beauty doesn"t matter,or something like that.” “No,you shouldn"t! I see,you criticize my appearance,and then you stab (刺) me in the back! You have honesty and feeling. There are not many girls like you. But perhaps I go too fast. Perhaps you have awful faults to counterbalance (抵消) your few good points.”
I thought to myself that he might have too. He seemed to read my mind,and said quickly,“Yes, you"re right. I have plenty of faults. I went the wrong way when I was twenty-one,and have never found the right path again. I might have been very different. I might have been as good as you, and perhaps wiser. I am not a bad man,take my word for it,but I have done wrong. It wasn"t my character,but circumstances that were to blame. Why do I tell you all this? Because you"re the sort of person people tell their problems and secrets to, because you"re sympathetic and give them hope.”
It seemed he had quite a lot to talk to me. He didn"t seem to like to finish the talk quickly,as was the case for the first time.
“Don"t be afraid of me, Miss. Eyre,”he continued. “You don"t relax or laugh very much,perhaps because of the effect Lowood school has had on you. But in time you will be more natural with me,and laugh,and speak freely. You"re like a bird in a cage. When you get out of the cage, you"ll fly very high. Good night.”
46. At the beginning Miss Eyre"s impressions of Mr. Rochester were all except_____.   
A. busy        B. sociable        C. dull          D. changeable
47. The underlined sentence means_________ .
A. Only by meeting him around the house sometimes did I know a little about him.
B. Only by coming to the house could I know about him.
C. I occasionally met him but my knowledge about him was poor.

48. From what Mr. Rochester told Miss Eyre, we can conclude that he wanted to _________________.         
A. tell her all his troubles                   B. tell her his life experience
C. blame her for misunderstanding him      D. change his circumstances
49. At the end of the passage,Mr. Rochester sounded ___________ .

A young man named Charles Lyell had different ideas. He wrote a book about them called Principles of Geology. The earth,according to Lyell,was not only thousands of years old,it was millions of years old. As to the common belief that changes in the earth’s surface happen suddenly because of a single earthquake or flood,he said that this might happen once in a while,but usually these changes took place very slowly. He believed that the surface of the earth had been changing from the beginning of time. The changes,he said,were caused by the long-term action of the winds and seas,and by forces such as volcanoes breaking out under the earth’s surface. Once in a great while he thought,a mountain might appear for the first time after an earthquake. But usually mountains would rise slowly and steadily.
Professor Henslow was interested in Lyell’s ideas,but he did not actually believe them. Charles Darwin could not make up his mind about them. But they set him thinking along lines which would later change the beliefs of thoughtful people all over the world.
At Cambridge,Charles Darwin studied just enough to pass the examination,and received his college degree in 1831.During this time,he had become more and more interested in geology. At the end of the school year,he went to North Wales with one of his teachers to examine the rock formations (构成) and to search for fossils. Fossils are the remains of ancient living things. They are usually found fixed in rocks in the earth’s crust (地壳). Fossils may be of animals,such as fish,insects,birds,or humans. They may be of plants from tiny leaves to huge trees.
When a living creature dies,it usually decays (腐烂)or is eaten by animals. However,if it sinks into a riverbed or is quickly covered by the blowing sands of a desert storm,the bones are kept up in the earth. Over many years the soft inner parts of a bone disappear,leaving the inside hollow. Water containing mineral enters into the hollow. Slowly the mineral hardens and makes the bone hard and heavy,like stone.
71.According to Charles Lyell,it is mainly        that the earth has been formed like today’s shape.
A. from the beginning of time                           B. past some experiences of big flood
C. over a very long period of years                    D. because of several big earthquakes
72.Charles Lyell believed the fact that a mountain is formed         .
A. more by seas than by volcanoes                     B. more slowly than suddenly
C. more by an earthquake than by winds      D. more steadily than quickly
73.Unlike Professor Henslow,Charles Darwin         .
A. never thought Lyell’s ideas were right
B. did made up his mind not to accept Lyell’s ideas
C. thought about what the world were then thinking about
D. thought over Lyell’s ideas and developed them
74.The main purpose of Darwin’s going to North Wales was to         .
A. make a study of fossils
B. appreciate the rock formation
C. to do research work into dead animals
D. look for plants from tiny leaves to huge trees
75.In which order are fossils formed?
a. A living thing sinks into a riverbed or sands.
b. Water goes into a bone hollow together with mineral.
c. Something soft in a bone disappears.
d. The hardened mineral makes the bone hard.
e. The bone becomes hollow inside.
A.a b c d e             B.c a b e d                    C.a c e b d                    D.e c d b a

Have you ever heard the story of the four-minute mile? Many years ago, people believed that it was impossible for a human being to run a mile in less than four minutes until Roger Banister proved it wrong in1954.
What happens if you put an animal in a pond? Any animal, big or small, will swim its way through. What happens when someone, who does not know how to swim, falls in deep waters? They drown. If an animal who has not learned swimming could escape by swimming, why not you? Because you believe you will drown while the animal does not.
Have you ever wondered why the letters are organized in a particular order on hour keyboard? You might have thought it is to increase the typing speed. Most people never question it. But the fact is that this system was developed to reduce the typing speed at a time when typewriter parts would jam if the operator typed too fast.
These three cases show the power of our beliefs. There is no other more powerful directing force in human behavior than belief. Your beliefs have the power to create and to destroy. A belief delivers a direct command to your nervous system.
I used a snake in my workshops for children to show them how unrealistic some of their beliefs are. Students of a school in India, said snakes were slippery, slimy (黏糊糊的) and poisonous. After doing an exercise for changing beliefs, they handled my snake and found it to be dry and clean. They also remembered that only three types of poisonous snakes exist in India.
Did this story end the way you thought? Review your beliefs now and find out which ones you need to change.

If you have ever been discouraged because of failure,please read on. For often, achieving
what you set out to do is not the important thing.
Two brothers decided to dig a deep hole behind their house. As they were working, a couple of older boys stopped by to watch.
"What are you doing?" asked one of the visitors.
"We plan to dig a hole all the way through the earth!" one of the brothers volunteered excitedly.
The older boys began to laugh, telling the younger ones that digging a hole all the way through the earth was impossible. After a long silence, one of the diggers picked up a jar full of spiders,  worms and insects. He removed the lid and showed the wonderful contents to the visitors. Then he said quietly and confidently,Even if we don’t dig all he way through the earth, look at what we found along he way!”
Their goal was far too great, but it did cause them to dig. And that is what a goal is for to cause us to move in he direction we have chosen; In other words, to set us to digging! But not every goal will be fully achieved. Not every job will end successfully. Not every love will last. Not every attempt will be completed. Not every dream will be realized.
But when you fall short of your aim, perhaps you can say,“Yes, but look at what I found along he way! Look at the wonderful things which have come into my life because I tired to do something!"
It is in the digging that life is lived. And I believe it is joy in he journey, in he end,that truly matters.
49. Readers may probably get____ from the passage.
A. discouragement   B. encouragement   C. comfort    D. delight
50. The underlined phrase “fall short of" possibly means ____.
A. fail to achieve     B. manage to achieve  C. fall because of   D. get rid of
51. What is he most important brothers in their digging?
A. To find wonderful things.  B. To have people looking on.
C. To achieve their goal      D. To keep on digging.
52. The brothers" attitude to life is____.
