A son and his father were walking on the mountains. Suddenly, his son falls, hurts himself and screams: “AAAhhhhhhhhhh!!!” To his surprise, he hears the voice repeating, somewhere in the mountains: “AAAhhhhhhhhhh!!!”
Curious, he shouts: : “Who are you?” He receives the answer:” “Who are you?” And then he screams to the mountain: “I admire you!” The voice answers: “I admire you!”
Angered at the response, he screams: “Coward (one without courage)!” He receives the answer: “Coward!”
He looks to his father and asks: “What"s going on?” The father smiles and says: “My son, pay attention.”
Again the man screams at the top of his voice: “You are a champion!” The voice answers: “You are a champion!”
The boy is surprised, but does not understand. Then the father explains: “People call this ECHO (回音) , but really this is LIFE. It gives you back everything you say or do. Our life is simply a reflection of our actions. If you want more love in the world, create more love in your heart. If you want more competence in your team, improve your competence.”
This relationship applies to (适用于) everything, in all aspects of life; life will give you back everything you have given to it.”

I had applied for the nuclear(核)submarine(潜艇) program, and Admiral Rickover was interviewing me for the job. It was the first time I met Admiral Rickover, and we sat in a large room by ourselves for more than two hours, and he let me choose any subjects I wished to discuss. Very carefully, I chose those about which I knew most at the time – recent events, seamanship, music, literature, naval tactics(海军战术), electronics, gunnery(射击学) – and he began to ask me a lot of questions that were more difficult. Every time after my answers, he soon showed that I knew rather little about the subjects I had chosen.
He always looked right into my eyes, and he never smiled. I was saturated with cold sweat.
Finally, he asked me a question and I thought it was my turn to show myself off. He said, “How did you stand in your class at Georgia Tech before entering Annapolis as a first year student?” I had done very well, and I threw my chest with pride and answered, “Sir, I stood thirty-ninth in a class of 820!” I sat back to wait for the congratulations – which never came. Instead, the question: “Did you do your best?” I started to say, “Yes, sir,” but I remembered who this was, and thought of several of my times at the Academy when I could have learned more about our allies(二战时的同盟国), our enemies, weapons strategy(战略) and so on, so I finally said, “No, Sir, I didn’t always do my best.”
He looked at me for a long time, and then turned his chair around to end the interview. He asked one final question, which I have never been able to forget – or to answer. He said, “Why not?” I sat there for a while, shaken, and then slowly left the room.
小题1:The passage suggests that ___.
A.the atmosphere of the interviews was very serious
B.the author always did his best in doing everything
C.the author and Admiral Rickover were good friends
D.Admiral Rickover knew the author quite well
小题2:The word “saturated” in the second paragraph may probably mean ___.
A.very satisfiedB.completely wetC.rather sadD.too excited
小题3:When the author said: “Sir, I stood thirty-ninth in a class of 820!’’ He meant __.
A.he did better than most of his classmates at the Academy
B.he had 820 classmates and he was Number thirty-nine
C.he was proud that the class he was in was very large
D.in the class only thirty-nine students stood in front of him

Human wants seem endless. When a starving man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat; when a manager gets a new sports car, he dreams of country clubs and pleasure boats dance into view.
The many wants of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. When there is money enough to satisfy one level of wants, another level appears.
The first and most basic level of wants is food. Once this want is satisfied, a second level of wants appears: clothing and some sort of shelter. By the end of World War II these wants were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third level appeared. It included such items as cars and new houses.
By 1957 or 1958 this third level of wants was fairly well satisfied. Then in the late 1950s a fourth level of wants appeared: the “life-enriching” level. While the other levels mean physical satisfaction—the feeding, comfort, safety and transportation of the human body—this level means mental needs for recognition, achievement and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services many of which could be called “luxury” items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical care and entertainment. Also included here are fancy foods and the latest styles in clothing.
On the fourth level, a greater percentage of consumers spending goes to services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level?
A fifth level probably would be wants that can be achieved by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes and crime. After filling our stomachs, our garages, and our minds, we now may seek to ensure the health and safety to enjoy more fully the good things on the first three levels.
小题1:According to the passage, man will begin to think about such needs as housing and clothing only when _______
A.he has saved up enough money
B.he has grown dissatisfied with his simple shelter
C.he has satisfied his hunger
D.he has learned to build houses
小题2:It can be inferred from the passage that by the end of World War II most Americans ______
A.were very rich
B.were very poor
C.Had the good things on the first three levels
D.didn’t own cars
小题3:Which of the following is NOT related to “physical satisfaction”?
A.A successful careerB.A comfortable house
C.A good serviceD.A family car
小题4:The author thinks that a fifth level______
A.would be a little better than the fourth level
B.may be a lot more desirable than the first four
C.can be the last and most satisfying level
D.will come true if the government takes actions

A young boy was sitting in the back seat of the car eating an apple. He asked his father, “Why does my apple turn brown?” his father answered, “When the skin is removed, air reaches the flesh of the apple and causes oxidation. This changes the apple’s molecular structure and results in a brownish color.” The boy asked, “ Daddy, what are you talking about?”
I know how that boy feels. Sometimes I want answers to some of those confusing questions that we all meet with, such as how to get through difficult times or what to do in a tough situation. I just want to get it right.
The problem is that I don’t always have the answer I need. Nobody else seems to have them, either. So I go on making mistakes and think that I’ll never get it right.
Often I didn’t know what to do. I often made poor choices, but I gradually improved. Then I realized that I don’t HAVE TO always get it right. I don’t have to always know what to do all the time. All I really need to do is try my best, learn from my mistakes and go on.
Dr. Leo Buscaglia once said, “ No one gets out of this world alive, so the time to live, learn, care, share, celebrate and love is now. That would be pretty hard to do when you’re waiting for all the answers first.”
So you got it wrong. You made a mistake. So what should you do next? Forgive yourself and try again. You may not get out of this world alive, but you can get plenty of life out of this world if you are not too worried about always getting it right.
小题1: In the beginning, the author tells the story of a boy and his father to ____.
A.show that the father is very knowledgeable
B.say something interesting about apples
C.introduce the subject of the passage
D.show that children nowadays ask more questions
小题2: How did the boy feel when he heard his father’s explanation?
A.He admired his father very much.
B.He knew what his father meant.
C.He thought that he had learned a lot from his father.
D.He felt it was difficult to understand.
小题3: What do Dr. Leo Buscaglia’s words mean?
A.We must make right choices as often as possible.
B.We can search the answers when enjoying life itself.
C.People have many desires when they enter the world.
D.It is hard to lead a happy and satisfying life.
小题4: What can be concluded from the passage?
A.We should learn from our mistakes and try again.
B.We should try to learn and understand the answers to questions.
C.It is very important to try to avoid mistakes.
D.It is our duty to make the world a better place.
小题5: What is the style of the passage?
A. novel       B. news     C. essay     D poem

Then she told me I could   49 . I walked out of the room wondering   40  she had chosen to talk to me about all those things.
