She told the cab driver to drive quickly. She was so absorbed in her own thoughts that she was not aware they were going by a different route.Suddenly, a man got inside the cab. He took her handbag where she had placed her visa, passport, and all her money for the trip.The driver, who was in cahoots with the robber, left her in the middle of that dark street. She cursed the world for being so mean to her, and thought how unlucky she was in that situation.That very same night, she heard some shocking news. Tears flowed down her face. Flight 230, which was the plane that she was supposed to have boarded, had crashed. If she had not lost her precious belongings, she could have lost something far more important-her life.Sometimes bad things really happen. There are times when nothing seems to go our way. So what should we do about it? We must get rid of all these frustrations and start all over again in the faith that we will get what we deserve. Dont waste your time and energy on things that cant be changed. Continuous worrying will only affect your health and youll be doing much more damage than what was previously done.What if it was the other way round? What if we never ran out of good luck?There was a man who won the lottery. He became greedy and wasted all his money on everything he could get his hands on.But when he one day made it to the front page of the newspaper again, it was a different story. He had been killed because of his riches. If you attain good luck, you can never be too secure about it. Life is so unpredictable. You never know what will happen next.Live one day at a time. We sometimes subject ourselves to unnecessary emotional trouble. Live for the moment. Do what must be done for the present and the future will turn out just fine. Believe me. And believe in yourself.

How to Keep Yourself HappyCArt is considered by many people to be no more than a decorative means of giving pleasure. This is not always the case, however, at times, art may be seen to have a purely functional side as well. Such could be said of the sandpaintings of the Navaho Indians of the American Southwest; these have a medicinal as well as an artistic purpose. According to Navaho traditions, one who suffers from either a mental or a physical illness has in some way disturbed or get in touch with the supernatural-perhaps a certain animal, a ghost, or the dead. To break away from this, the ill person or one of his relatives will employ a medical man called a “singer” to perform a curing ceremony which will attract a powerful supernatural being. During the ceremony, which may last from 2 to 9 days, the “singer” will produce a sandpainting on the floor. On the last day of the ceremony, the patient will sit on this sandpainting and the “singer” will rub the sick or injured parts of the patients body with sand from a specific figure in the sandpainting. In this way the patient absorbs the power of that particular supernatural being and bees strong. After the ceremony, the sandpainting is destroyed so its power wont harm anyone. The art of sandpainting is handed down from old “singers”. The materials used are easily found where the Navaho settle: brown, red, yellow, and white sandstone, which is ground(研磨) much as corn is made into flour. The “singer” holds a small amount of this sand in his hand and lets it flow between his fingers onto a clean, flat surface on the floor, with a steady hand and great patience. He is thus able to create designs of stylized people, snakes and other creatures that have power in the Navaho belief system. The traditional Navaho doesnt allow copying sandpaintings, since he believes the supernatural powers that taught him the craft have forbidden this; however, such reproductions can in fact be purchased today in tourist shops in Arizona and New Mexico. These are done by either Navaho Indians or by other people who wish to preserve this craft. 54. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. The Navaho Indian B. The Ancient “Singer” C. Functions of Art D. The Navaho Sandpaintings 55. How did the “singer” treat the patient according to the passage?A. By passing his supernatural power on to the patient.B. By applying a magic substance to the patients body.C. By rubbing the patients sick parts with sand from a sandpainting figure.D. By destroying the sandpainting figure.56. The traditional Navaho does not allow copying of sandpaintings because _.A. anything copied has no effect B. the craft only belongs to the supernaturalC. its against Navaho belief system D. the copying may do harm to other Navahos57. That the reproductions of sandpaintings are now mercially available shows _.A. people have realized the artistic value of sandpaintingsB. patients have benefited from the powerful effect of sandpaintingsC. more people have e to believe in supernatural powerD. modern technology has helped the production of sandpaintings DSilence is unnatural to man. He begins life with a cry and ends it in stillness. In between he does all he can to make a noise in the world, and he fears silence more than anything else. Even his conversation is an attempt to prevent a fearful silence. If he is introduced to another person, and a number of pauses occur in the conversation, he regards himself as a failure, a worthless person, and is full of envy of the emptiest-headed chatterbox. He knows that ninety-nine percent of human conversation means no more than the buzzing of a fly, but he is anxious to join in the buzz and to prove that he is a man and not a waxwork figureThe aim of conversation is not, for the most part, to municate ideas；it is to keep up the buzzing sound. There are, it must be admitted，different qualities of buzz；there is even a buzz that is as annoying as the continuous noise made by a mosquito. But at a dinner party one would rather be a mosquito than a quiet person. Most buzzing, fortunately, is pleasant to the ear, and some of it is pleasant even to the mind. He would be a foolish man if he waited until he had a wise thought to take part in the buzzing with his neighbors.Those who hate to pick up the weather as a conversational opening seem to me not to know the reason why human beings wish to talk. Very few human beings join in a conversation in the hope of learning anything new. Some of them are content if they are merely allowed to go on making a noise into other peoples ears, though they have nothing to tell them except that they have seen two or three new plays or that they had food in a Swiss hotel. At the end of an evening during which they have said nothing meaningful for a long time, they just prove themselves to be successful conversationists.58According to the author，people make conversation to_ .A. exchange ideas B. prove their value C. achieve success in life D. overe their fear of silence59By “the buzzing of a fly（Para.1），the author means _ .A. the noise of an insect B. a low whispering soundC. meaningless talks D. the voice of a chatterbox60According to the passage，people usually talk to their neighbors _ .A. about whatever they have prepared B. about whatever they want toC. in the hope of learning something new D. in the hope of getting on well第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） A Meaning of forgiveness.B. Try to put yourself in that persons shoes.C. Allow peace to enter your life.D. Understand your responsibility.E. Definition of forgiveness.F. Think about the advantages and disadvantages.61. We ve all been hurt by another person at some time or anotherwe were treated badly, trust was broken and hearts were hurt. And while this pain is normal, sometimes that pain continues for too long. We experience the pain over and over,and hate a hard time letting go. This causes problems. It not only causes us to be unhappy, but can ruin relationships, distract (使分心) us from work and family and other important things, make us unwilling to open up to new things and people. We get trapped in a cycle of anger and hurt, and miss out on the beauty of life as it happens. We need to learn to let go. We need to be able to forgive,so we can move on and be happy. It s not easy, but you can learn to do it.What problems does this pain cause you? Does it affect your relationship with this person? With others? Does it affect work or family? Does it stop you from realizing your dreams, or being a better person? Does it make you unhappy? Think of all these problems, and realize you need to change. Then think of the benefits of forgivenesshow it will make you happier, free you from the past and improve things with your relationships and life in general. 63. Try to understand why the person did what he did. What could he have been thinking, and what could have happened to him in the past to make him do what he did? What could he have felt as he did it, and what did he feel afterward? How does he feel now? You arent saying what he did is right, but are instead trying to understand.64. Try to figure out how you could have been partly responsible for what happened. What could you have done to prevent it, and how can you prevent it from happening next time? This isnt to say you are taking all the blame, or taking responsibility away from the other person, but to
