To 21 this,it is often necessary to subject(使……遭受)potential 22 of worry to the coldly objective. Once,before a major 23 in front of a standing-room-only audience,a member of Arturo Toscanini’s orchestra approached(接近)the great Italian conductor with a terrible 24 on his face.“Maestro(大师),”the musician said 25 ,“my instrument is not working 26 .I cannot reach the 27 of E-flat.Whatever will I do?We are to 28 a few moments later.” Toscanini looked with total 29 at the man.Then he 30 kindly and placed an arm around his shoulders.“My friend,”the maestro replied,“do not worry about it.The note E-flat does not 31 anywhere in the music that you will be 32 this evening.” The next time we find ourselves in the middle of 33 about some matter,we might be wise to 34 and ask ourselves what the odds(几率)are of the problem really coming to 35 .We may be able to go on to something more constructive. 16.A.dreams B.ideas C.troubles D.failures 17.A.spend B.devote C.expect D.agree 18.A.solution B.suggestion C.promise D.plan 19.A.However B.Otherwise C.Then D.Therefore 20.A.paid back B.cut down C.acted out D.took up 21.A.realize B.organize C.avoid D.operate 22.A.sources B.success C.truth D.gifts 23.A.graduation B.concert C.meeting D.invitation 24.A.sign B.appearance C.mark D.expression 25.A.anxiously B.finally C.eagerly D.seriously 26.A.properly B.mainly C.practically D.firmly. 27.A.part B.point C.signal D.note 28.A.complete B.begin C.manage D.separate 29.A.pleasure B.regret C.silence D.amazement 30.A.shouted B.depended C.smiled D.explained 31.A.appear B.remove C.unfold D.disappear 32.A.enjoying B.1istening C.playing D.conducting 33.A.talking B.worrying C.quarreling D.doubting 34.A.prevent B.trust C.finish D.stop 35.A.end B.pass C.order D.settle |
America has been experiencing the longest economic increase in its history. Incomes have risen, unemployment has fallen, and cities such as New York are bursting with new office buildings. But just a short walk from Manhattan’s skyscrapers, George Brown sits on the side-walk, cooking a lunch of rice and bits of fish over a can of cooking fuel. Brown is homeless——one of the 2.3 million people in the US who end up on the street. During the day, Brown collects aluminum cans and sells them for five cents a piece. At night, he sleeps on the street. “I have been on the street about eight or nine years, something like that,” said the 62-year-old former construction worker. Brown admits he had problems with alcohol and has smoked cocaine. But he said he still wants a more stable housing arrangement. He could afford it just with the money he earns by collecting cans and small pieces of metal, if only truly low-income housing were available. However, he sees no hope of finding affordable housing in New York. With the strong economy and unemployment down, beautiful housing is being built to meet demand. A US report shows rents in New York City rose more than 27 per cent, from $549 to $700 a month. One of the side effects of the strong economy is that rents have been going up. The majority of people who experience homelessness really just need some affordable housing help. But few housing companies are building for the poor. Many small apartments in the city now rent for $1,500 a month or more. Brown, the homeless New Yorker, said he has a daughter who lives in the city but he rarely sees her. She is angry about his drinking and won’t allow it in her house. Smiling, he said he also has seven grandchildren whom he’d like to see more often. “All I’ve got to do is clean up my act,” he said. 小题1:What kind of life does George Brown lead?A.Stable. | B.Dangerous. | C.Hard. | D.Comfortable. | 小题2: It can be inferred from this passage that .A.America is short of housing companies | B.the poor can’t benefit from the increasing economy | C.poor people in America will become rich | D.housing companies will build more houses for the poor | 小题3:The underlined part “clean up my act” in the last paragraph means “ ”. A. remove my cans B kick my bad habits C. make a lot of money D. see my grandchildren 小题4:Which part of a newspaper is the passage possibly taken from?A.Society. | B.Science. | C.Arts. | D.Business. |
