Two days later he received his 25 back. On the front page was a 26 red F. The teacher said, This is an 27 dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. Then the teacher 28 , If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your 29 . The boy asked his father what he should do.

He stated, You can keep the F and Ill keep my 35 . Monty then turned to us and said, “I tell you this story 36 you are sitting in my 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch. I still have that school paper framed (装框) over the fireplace.” He added, “The best part of the 37 is that two summers ago that same schoolteacher brought 30 kids to camp out on my ranch for a week. When the teacher was leaving, he said, Look, Monty, I can tell you this now. When I was your teacher, I was 38 of a dream stealer.

I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.So heres what I wanted to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion, the bigger pay-check.Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure, it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, and our minutes. It is so easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned.By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion as it ought to be lived.41.

It can be inferred from the passage that _.Athe fattier fish contain as much water as the lean oneBthe fattier the fish is, the more water it may containCa fatty fish holds less water than a lean oneDthe water content of fish has nothing to do with the content of their fat46. The underlined word “conventional” in Paragraph 3 can most probably be replaced by _.Aparticular BscientificCusualDspecial47. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE about drying food?AThe removal of water in food helps prevent it from going rotten.BThe open-air method of drying food has been known for hundreds of years.CIn the course of dehydration, the temperature of hot current coming from entry to exit is gradually going up.DThe process of drying liquids is much more complex than that of drying solid food.48. The last paragraph mainly talks about _.Athe reason why housewives like dried foodBthe general convenience of dried foodCthe methods of storing foodDthe advantages of dried, canned and frozen foodCDisposing (处理) of waste has been a problem since humans started producing it. As more and more people choose to live close together in cities, the waste disposal problem becomes increasingly difficult. During the eighteenth century, it was usual for several neighboring towns to get together to select a faraway spot as a dump site. Residents or trash haulers (垃圾拖运者) would transport household rubbish, rotted wood, and old possessions to the site. Periodically some of the trash was burned and the rest was buried. The unpleasant sights and smells caused no problem because nobody lived close by. Factories, mills, and other industrial sites also had waste to be disposed of. Those located on rivers often just dumped the unwanted remains into the water. Others built huge burners with chimneys to deal with the problem. Several facts make these choices unacceptable to modern society. The first problem is space. Dumps, which are now called landfills, are most needed in heavily populated areas. Such areas rarely have empty land suitable for this purpose. Property is either too expensive or too close to residential neighborhoods. Long distance trash hauling has been a common practice, but once farm areas are refusing to accept rubbish from elsewhere, cheap land within trucking distance of major city areas is nonexistent. Awareness (意识) of pollution dangers has resulted in more strict rules of waste disposal. Pollution of rivers, ground water, land and air is a price people cannot longer pay to get rid of waste. The amount of waste, however, continues to grow. Recycling efforts have become common place, and many towns require their people to take part. Even the most efficient recycling programs, however, can hope to deal with only about 50 percent of a citys reusable waste.49. The most suitable title for this passage would be_.A. Places for Disposing Waste B. Waste Pollution DangersC. Ways of Getting Rid of Waste D. Waste Disposal Problem50. During the 18th century, people disposed their waste in many ways except for _.A. burying it B. recycling it C. burning it D. throwing it into rivers51. What can be inferred from the third paragraph?A. Farm areas will continue accepting waste from the city in modern society.B. There is cheap land to bury waste in modern society.C. It is difficult to find space to bury waste in modern society.D. Ways to deal with waste in modern society stay the same.52. The main purpose of writing this article is to _.A. draw peoples attention to waste managementB. warn people of the pollution dangers we are facingC. call on people to take part in recycling programsD. tell people a better way to get rid of the waste DThis is time of year when we think about giving and receiving presents.

Carl now worked there full time. He liked working at his parents business; it was an honest business. He had been brought up to be honest, to tell the truth, and more he knew that there was such a thing as truth. A year ago, his homeroom teacher had said in front of the whole class:“There is no such thing as truth.”Carl Savinski had stood up and said, “That would make your statement false.”“Huh?”“That would make your statement false,” Carl had repeated. “If there is no such thing as truth, then your statement is not true. To say that there is no such thing as truth is absurd you dumb piece of shit!”Carl was expelled from school for two weeks. He didnt go back. He joined his parents business instead.In the past year he had learned that to be honest was not only the right thing to do but also the practical thing to do. He saw how his parents had built this business. He saw that they had made reasonable rules for the staff and employed them equally without favoritism. The staff liked working there and his parents had gained a competent work force that cared about the future of the company. His parents had gained more customers by treating them honestly, by being fair, by giving them more value for their money. If produce was too old, they threw it out; they didnt sell three-day old bread as fresh. They stuck to terms with their suppliers: if payment was required in thirty days, they paid in thirty days. If a supplier accidentally shipped more than they were invoiced for, they paid for the extra; but if this happened too often, they changed suppliers. They built up honest relationships with their suppliers. And they gained: they were first to be offered a commodity in short supply, and first to receive a discount if a supplier was over stocked.In the past year Carl Savinski saw with his own eyes, in his day-to-day job, that being honest paid. He saw that to be reasonable, to be honest, to tell the truth was practical that one did not suffer a loss by being honest, but made a gain.57. What does the underlined word “expelled” mean?A. cut off B. driven off C. set off D. warned of58. Why did the staff like working for Carls parents?A. Because the staff were all equally paid without favoritism.B. Because Carls paren
