He was going a bit too fast in his shiny, black, 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE, which was only two months old.He was watching for kids rushing out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no child came out, but a brick sailed out and-WHUMP!-it hit the Jags shiny black side door! SCREECH. ! Immediately Josh stopped the car, jumped out, seized the kid and pushed him up against a parked car. He shouted at the kid, “What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing?!” Building up a head of steam, he went on. “Thats my new Jag, and that brick you threw is gonna cost you a lot of money. Why did you throw it?”“Please, mister, please. Im sorry! I didnt know what else to do!” begged the youngster. “I threw the brick because no one else would stop!” tears were streaming down the boys face as he pointed around the parked car. “Its my brother, mister,” he said. “He rolled of the curb （路沿）and fell out of his wheelchair and I cant lift him up.” Sobbing, the boy asked the businessman, “Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair?” hes hurt and hes too heavy for me.”Moved beyond words, the young businessman tried hard to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. Straining, he lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapers and cuts, checking to see that everything was going to be OK. He then watched the younger brother push him down the sidewalk toward their home.It was a long walk back to the black, shining, 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE a long and slow walk. Josh never did fix the side door of his Jaguar. He kept the dent （凹痕）to remind him not to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at him to get his attention. Feel for the bricks of life coming at you.56The boy threw a brick at the businessmans car because _.A. the businessman drove at a high speedB. he envied the brand-new car very muchC. he wanted to ask for some moneyD. he wanted to get help from the driver57Which of the following is the right order of the story?aThe younger brother threw a brick at Joshs car.bThe elder brother fell out of his wheelchair.cThe younger brother begged Josh for help.dJosh lifted the elder brother back into his wheelchair.eJosh shouted at the younger brother.A. b, a, e, c, dB. a, c, d, b, e C. b, a, c, e, d D. a, c, b, e, d58What can we learn from the passage?A.

Joshs new car broke down easily.59According to the passage, the last sentence means _.A. trying to get ready for the trouble in your future lifeB. driving fast in a neighborhood street is dangerousC. trying to be more understanding seeing others in troubleD. protecting oneself from being hurtBEveryone has got two personalities the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You dont show your secret personality when youre awake because you can control your behaviour, but when youre asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, people frequently change their position. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.If you go to sleep on your back, youre a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You dont like to upset people, so you never express your real feelings. Youre quite shy and you arent very confident.If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive person. You worry a lot and youre always easily upset. Youre very stubborn, but you arent very ambitious. You usually live for today not for tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.If you sleep on curled up, you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so youre often defensive. Youre shy and you dont normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. Youre easily hurt.If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strengths and weakness. Youre usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel anxious, but you dont often get depressed. You always say what you think even if it annoys people.60. According to the writer, you naturally show your secret and real personality _.A.only in a normal nightB.only when you go to sleepC.only when you refuse to show yourself to the worldD.only when you change sleeping position61. Maybe you dont want to make friends with a person who sleeps curled up. Why?A.He or she would rather be alone than communicate with you.B.He or she is rarely ready to help you.C.He or she prefers staying at home to going out.D.He or she wouldnt like to get help from you.62. It appears that the writer tends to think highly of the person who sleeps on one side because _.A.he or she always shows sympathy for peopleB.he or she is confident, but not stubbornC.he or she has more strengths than weaknessD.he or she often considers annoying peopleCLong bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning, a middle, and an end with commercials thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window. Buy Super Clean Toothpaste. Drink Good Wet Root Beer. Fill up with Pacific Gas. Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, are you spared the unending cry of You Need It! Buy It Now!The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if youve traveled that way before. Usually some things have changed: new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and its fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless （鲁莽的） or daring, the ride can be as thrilling as a suspense story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left hand lane? After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But youve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and theres a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat of course, has become harder as the hours have passed. By now youve sat with your legs crossed, with your hands in your lap, with your hands on the armrests even with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at no more ways to sit.63. According to the passage, what do the passengers usually see when they are on a long bus trip?A. Buses on the road. B. Films on television.C. Advertisements on the billboards. D. Gas stations.64.

The writer feels long bus rides are like TV shows because_.A. the commercials both on TV shows and on billboards along the road are funB. they both have a beginning, a middle, and an end, with commercials in betweenC. the drivers are always reckless on TV shows just as they are on busesD. both traveling and watching TV are not exciting.67. The writer thinks that the end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning because both are_.A. exciting B. comfortable C. tiring D. boringDAd. 1April fools partyOn Friday, April 1, Inner Affair goes back to the days of funk!
