举一反三
The car, running along the well-lit road now sank in darkness. I broke the 36 on purpose, for fear that the driver was too tired to drive. “When do you go back home in the evening?”“9 o’clock after this trip.” Then when do you come out in the morning?”I 37 another question. “9 o’ clock, too—just as if I worked at an office.” His easiness surprised me, because every time I ride a taxi, what I 38 from the driver are only complaints that they have to work from morning till night, it’s hard to earn money, they’re often 39 by the police, or that their leaders are seated 40 , enjoying the fruits. But this driver told me, “I find it 41 to be a section chief as I was before. I like driving just for pleasure. It’s fortunate that I 42 drive without a passenger. So I earn two or three thousand Yuan a month with ease. Yes, I never 43 an empty taxi. If it goes southward, I go northward. If it goes along a highway, I turn into a narrow street…”
His words showed his 44 with his life and the pride he 45 in his
job. Such feelings are so 46 among people nowadays as oxygen in high mountain. How many people nowadays can show high ideals by simple living and go far with a calm mind? I couldn’t help feeling moved when finding such a state of mind in a stranger on a cold 47 .

The Man was very sad. He knew that the Cat"s days were numbered. The doctor had said there wasn’t anything more that could be done, and that he should take the Cat home and make him as comfortable as possible.
A tear rolled down the Man’s cheek and landed on the Cat’s forehead, The Cat gave him a slightly annoyed look. “Why do you cry, Man?” the Cat asked. “Because you can’t bear the thought of losing me? Because you think you can never replace me?” The Man nodded “yes”.
“Pick up that piece of string from the floor. There, my ‘toy’. The Man reached over and picked up the string. It was about two feet long and the Cat had been able to entertain himself for hours with it. “Now take each end of the string in one hand,” the Cat ordered. The Man did so.
“The end in your left hand is my birth and the end in your right hand is my death. Now bring the two ends together,” the Cat said. The man did so. Then the Cat continued, “You have made a continuous circle. Does any point along the string appear to be different, worse or better than any other part of the string?” The Man inspected the string and then shook his head.
“Close your eyes.” the Cat said. “Now lick your hand.” The Man widened his eyes in surprise. “Just do it,” the Cat said. “Lick your hand, think of me in all my familiar places, and think about all the pieces of string.”
Licking his hand, he discovered what a cat must know, that licking a paw is very calming and allows one to think more clearly. He continued licking and the corners of his mouth turned upward into the first smile he had shown in days. He waited for the Cat to tell him to stop, and when he didn’t, he opened his eyes. The Cat’s eyes were closed. The Man stroked(轻抚) the warm, brown fur, but the Cat was gone.
One day, not long after, there was a new cat on his lap. She was a lovely white cat. It is very different from his earlier beloved Cat and very much the same.

Very old people do raise moral problems for almost everyone who comes in contact with them. Their values—this can"t be repeated too often—are not necessarily our values. Physical comfort, cleanness and order are not necessarily the most important things. The social services from time to time find themselves faced with a flat with decaying food covered by small worms (蠕虫), and an old person lying alone in bed, taking no notice of the worms. But is it interfering (妨碍) with personal freedom to insist that they go to live with some of their relatives so that they might be taken better care of? Some social workers, the ones who clear up the worms, think we are in danger of carrying this concept of personal freedom to the point where serious risks are being taken with the health and safety of the old.
Indeed, the old can be easily hurt or harmed. The body is like a car, it needs more mechanical maintenance as it gets older. You can carry this comparison right through to the provision of spare parts. But never forget that such operations are painful experiences, however good the results. And at what point should you stop treating the old body? Is it morally right to try to push off death by pursuing the development of drugs to excite the forgetful old mind and to activate the old body, knowing that it is designed to die? You cannot ask doctors or scientists to decide, because so long as they can see the technical opportunities, they will feel bound to give them a try, on the principle that while there"s life, there"s hope.
When you talk to the old people, however, you are forced to the conclusion that whether age is happy or unpleasant depends less on money or on health than it does on your ability to have fun.
小题1:It is implied in Paragraph 1 that______.| A．very old people enjoy living with their relatives | | B．social services have nothing to do with very old people | | C．very old people would like to live alone so that they can have more personal freedom. | | D．very old people are able to keep their rooms very clean |
小题2:Some social workers think that______.| A．health and safety are more important than personal freedom | | B．personal freedom is more important than health and safety | | C．old people should keep their rooms clean | | D．one should not take the risk of dealing with old people |
小题3:In the author"s opinion, ______.| A．the human body can"t be compared to a car | | B．the older a person, the more care he needs | | C．too much emphasis has been put on old people"s values | | D．it is easy to provide spare parts for old people |
小题4:The author thinks that______.| A．medical decisions for old people should be left to the doctors | | B．old people can enjoy a happy life only if they are very rich | | C．the opinion that we should try every means possible to save old people is doubtful | | D．it is always morally right to treat old people and push off death |

In this modern world, we rush around all day. There is no 48 for stillness.
And when we are 49 to be still because we’re in line for something, or waiting at a doctor’s appointment, or on a bus or train, we often find something to do. Being still isn’t something we’re 50 .
This comes at a 51 : we lose that time for 52 , for observing and listening. We lose peace. And 53 yet: sometimes too much action is worse than no action at all. You can run around , but get nothing done.
Take a moment to think about how you spend your days. Are you always 54 through your schedule? Is this how you want to spend your life? If not, take a moment to be 55 . Don’t think about what you have to do, or what you’ve done already. Just be in the moment.

When it comes to success in business and success in life, there are few qualities as important as confidence．
People naturally have different levels of confidence. Some have a higher level of confidence than others do, but even those whose confidence is lacking can learn to build their level of confidence and reach their most important goals．Increasing self confidence is one of the most common reasons people give for seeking the help of psychologists and other professionals．
One of the many places where a greater level of confidence is useful is in the workplace. We all know how difficult it can be, for instance, to ask the boss for a raise. This process can be extremely difficult for those who lack confidence in their own abilities. After all, if you are unsure about your own abilities, how will you ever convince your boss that you deserve more money for the work you do?
Even if you are not asking for that big raise, having plenty of confidence in your abilities is important to success．If you are certain of your abilities, chances are that those around you, whether they are your coworkers, your colleagues or your superiors, will see that confidence, and that will help to assure them that you are the best at what you do．
Being thought of as the person to go to, and being seen as an expert in your chosen field, is naturally very important to success on the job．If you can make yourself the person people go to for guidance and advice, you will help to protect yourself from the ever present danger of downsizing(裁员)．After all, if you are a recognized expert at the office, you will be regarded as an indispensable member of the team．
Having a high level of confidence, after all, does not mean overlooking the places where you could improve．Knowing what you do well and where you need help will help you enjoy increased success and confidence．
小题1:What is the passage mainly about?| A．The influence of confidence on one"s life. | | B．The difference of people"s confidence. | | C．The importance of confidence to success. | | D．The judgment on one"s confidence. |
小题2:Psychologists and other professionals can offer help to those ________.| A．who dream to be recognized experts | | B．who expect to give guidance to others | | C．who want to ask the boss for a raise | | D．who think their goals are hard to reach |
小题3:What does the underlined word "indispensable" in Paragraph 5 probably mean?| A．outgoing | B．attractive | C．important | D．energetic |
小题4:What message does the author want to convey（传递） in the last paragraph?| A．To overlook one"s disadvantages. | | B．To make full use of one"s advantages. | | C．To have great confidence in one"s abilities. | | D．To make objective evaluations of one"s abilities. |
