But the carrying pole is only 5 enough for one bucket. The two monks were unable to 6 the shared load on their carrying pole without shaking the contents of the two buckets all over the short monk. They 7 to retain(保留) only a small 8 of water that the young monk would have carried on his own, not mentioning to 9 the garden. When the young monk began to see his guest as 10 , the other monk began to see his host as unreasonable. Then a 11 monk came. The 12 of the third monk urged everyone to expect that someone else would take on the chore. As a result, no one fetched water though everybody was 13 . One night, a rat jumped and knocked the candleholder(烛台), leading to a devastating(毁坏性的) 14 in the temple. The three monks finally united together to put out the fire. Since then they understood the old saying "unity is strength" and begin to live a 15 life. The temple never lacks water again.

When I was a teenager I volunteered to work at the water station at a 10,000m race. My job was to 34 water to the runners. I remember being so 35 to see all the different kinds of people who passed by and grabbed a cup of water. Some ran past, some walked past and a few wheeled past. I saw so many types of people doing it. I thought maybe I could do it too! So the next year I 36 up for the race. That first 10,000m race was quite an experience. I jogged, I walked, I jogged and I walked 37 , I didn’t know if I could finish. Then came a defining (决定性) 38 . At one point near the end, a 70-year-old man ran past me, very, very fast, and I felt 39 because I was 50 years younger than he but I couldn’t even keep up with him. I felt 40 for a second. But then I realized something. He was running his race and I was running mine. He had 41 abilities, experience, training and goals for himself. I had mine. Remember my 42 was only to finish. After a minute, it 43 me that this was a lesson I could draw from. I learned something about myself in that moment. I turned my embarrassment into 44 . I decided that I would not give up on running races. In fact, I would run even more races and I would learn how to train and prepare 45 and one day I would be one of those 70-year-old persons who were still running. As I crossed the finish line, I was proud of my accomplishment. In life we all have those moments where we 46 ourselves to others. It’s only natural . Don’t allow those moments to 47 you. Turn them into motivation and let them inspire you. With the proper preparation and training, you can improve your result to 48 anything you want in life.

There once was a very honest shopkeeper whose business was to provide goods to the local people. He would open his shop at 8:00 a.m. after having his breakfast and at 1:00 p.m. he would go for lunch. In the evening at 8:30 p.m. he closed his shop to complete his daily routine. However, to get time for lunch was really difficult be-cause he didn’t have anybody to help him at that time. Therefore, it was his daily practice that whichever customer was shopping at 1:00 p.m. would be asked to oversee (看管) the shop until the shopkeeper returned from lunch. One day, a group of four thieves planned to steal from his shop while he was gone for lunch. One of the thieves went at 1:00 p.m. to be the customer that would be asked to oversee the shop. The thief, pretending to be a customer, went in at 1:00 p.m. and started buying several items. As planned, the shop-keeper asked the thief to sit on his chair for thirty minutes until he returned from lunch. Then, the other three thieves quickly came and told the pretend customer to help, but something had changed within him and he knew deeply in his heart that if he was given responsibility for the shop, he should not perform any dishonest acts during that time. His friends did not agree. As the now honest man tried to stop them, they resisted (抵抗) and a fight started. And at the same time the shopkeeper returned and asked why there was a fighting. The now honest man explained the entire plan. The shopkeeper had been searching for an honest man who could take ownership of the shop and run it. The shop-keeper felt that he had found the right man. 小题1:What is the problem for the shopkeeper?A.Nobody could prepare lunch for him every day. | B.He had nobody to keep the shop when he went for lunch. | C.He was too busy to have lunch every day. | D.He couldn’t find a person to work at the shop. | 小题2:Why did the thief go to the shop at 1:00 p.m.?A.Because he thought he would be asked to keep the shop. | B.Because the shopkeeper invited him to lunch then. | C.Because the shop was closed at that time. | D.Because he thought he could buy cheap things then. | 小题3:When the shopkeeper returned from lunch, he found _______.A.everything in his shop was stolen | B.the thief became the new owner of the shop | C.there was a fighting in his shop | D.the thief helped his fellows steal things from his shop | 小题4:From the passage, we can infer that _______.A.once a thief, he will always be a thief | B.an honest man will be responsible for his action | C.you can’t believe in a dishonest man forever | D.trust can change a thief into an honest man |

When I was a boy, every holiday that I had seemed wonderful. My parents took me by train or by car to a hotel by the 26 . All day, I seem to remember, I played on the sands with strange 27 children. We made houses and gardens, and 28 the tide destroy them. When the tide went out, we climbed over the rocks and looked down at the fish in the rock-pools. In those days the sun seemed to shine always 29 and the water was always warm. Sometimes we left beach and walked in the country, 30 ruined houses and dark woods and climbing trees. There were sweets in one’s pockets or good places where one could 31 ice creams. Each day seemed a life-time. 32 I am now thirty-five years old, my idea of a good holiday is much the same as it was. I 33 like the sun and warm sand and the sound of 34 beating (拍打) the rocks. I no longer wish to 35 any sand house or sand garden, and I dislike sweets. 36 , I still love the sea and often feel sand running through my fingers. Sometimes I 37 what my ideal(理想的) holiday will be like when I am old . 38 I want to do then, perhaps, will be to lie in bed, reading books about 39 who make houses and gardens with sands, who watch the incoming tide, who make themselves 40 on too many ices creams.

People have wondered for a long time how their personalities and behaviors are formed.It is not easy to explain why one person is intelligent and another is not, or why one is cooperative (合作的)and another is competitive. Social scientists are, of course, extremely interested in these types of questions.They want to explain why we possess certain characteristics and exhibit certain behaviors.There are no clear answers yet, but two distinct schools of thought (学派)on the matter have developed.As one might expect, the two approaches are very different from one another, and there is a great deal of debate between proponents of each theory.The controversy(argument) is often referred to as “nature and nurture(教育)”. Those who support the “nature” side of the conflict believe that our personalities and behavior patterns are largely determined by biological and genetic factors.That our environment has little, if anything, to do with our abilities, characteristics, and behavior is central to this theory.Taken to an extreme(走极端), this theory maintains that our behavior is predetermined to such a degree that we are almost completely governed by our instincts(本能). Proponents of the “nurture” theory, or, as they are often called, behaviorists, claimed that our environment is more important than our biologically based instincts in determining how we will act.A behaviorist, B.F.Skinner, sees humans as beings whose behavior is almost completely shaped by their surroundings.The behaviorists’ view of the human being is quite mechanistic(机械论的); they maintain that, like machines, humans’ respond to environmental stimuli(刺激) as the basis of their behavior. Socially and politically, the consequences of these two theories are far-reaching.In the US, for example, blacks often score below whites on standardized intelligence tests.This leads some proponents to conclude that blacks are genetically lower in status than whites.Behaviorists, on the contrary, say that the differences in scores are due to the fact that blacks are often robbed of many of the educational and other environmental advantages that whites enjoy, and that, as a result, they do not develop the same responses that whites do. Either of these theories cannot yet fully explain human behavior.In fact, it is quite likely that the key to our behavior lies somewhere between these two extremes. That the controversy will continue for a long time is certain. 小题1:This passage is mainly concerned with .A.relation between personality and behavior | B.relation between behavior and environment | C.different accounts of patterns of human behavior | D.different theories of the formation of human behavior | 小题2:The underlined word " proponents"" in paragraph 2 means .A.creators | B.advisors | C.supporters | D.judges | 小题3:In paragraph 5 , the author mainly writes about .A.the considerable(值得考虑的) influence of the two theories | B.differences between the blacks and whites | C.racial discrimination in the United States | D.different responds to intelligence tests | 小题4:What"s the author"s purpose in writing the passage?A.To call our attention to the changes of human behavior. | B.To urge scientists to do more research in social science. | C.To give us a detailed explanation of human behavior. | D.To present an argument in the field of social science. |
