Bryan searched the kitchen but found only three aged bananas with big brown spots. “Roger,” begged Bryan, “youve read two books a

18、lready today. Lets bake banana bread.” Roger closed his book with a sigh. “Sounds good, but do you know how? I dont.” “Its easy,” said Bryan. “Ive watched Mom make it.” The boys found the recipe and gathered everything they needed. Bryan was mashing bananas when he noticed Roger filling a huge soups

19、poon with salt. “Wait!” shouted Bryan. “You need just a teaspoon of salt.” Roger opened a drawer. “Which spoons are for tea?” he asked. Bryan was amazed. He had always thought that his older brother knew everything. “Roger,” he said, “use this measuring spoon. See , it says teaspoon on the handle.”

20、Finally the batter（面料）was ready for baking. Soon a delicious smell of banana bread filled the house. An hour later, the boys opened the oven and found a beautifully rounded loaf, only a little burned around the edges. “Something smells wonderful,” said their mother when she arrived home. “Did you sa

21、ve a taste for me?” The brothers laughed, brushing crumbs from their fingers. “Sorry, Mom,” said Roger. “Next time we will. My little brother is quite a baker!” 56If Roger had used the spoon he chose first, he would have _. Asaved time Bkept the bananas from spoiling Cruined the banana bread Dmade t

23、r dinner Cproud that he had taught Roger something Dupset that he had needed help from his mother. B I was being interviewed by a senior manager for a big company. I told him honestly that the principal reason that I was interviewing with them was my need to keep my family in Boston. My wife had rec

24、ently died of a heart attack. A job in Boston would help me reduce some pain for my 16- year-old daughter and me. It was important to me to keep her present high school. Bruce, the interviewer, was politely kind, but he didnt search any further. He acknowledged(承认) my loss and, with great respect, m

25、oved on to another subject. After the next round of interviews, Bruce took me to lunch with another manager. Then he asked me to take a walk with him. He told me that he had lost his wife. And, like me, he had also been married 20 years and had 3 children. I realized that he had experienced the same

26、 pain as I had and it was almost impossible to explain to someone who had not lost a loved one. He offered his business card and home phone number and suggested that, should I need help or just want someone to talk to, I should feel free to give him a call. Whether I got the job or not, he wanted me

27、 to know that he was there if I ever needed help. From that one act of kindness, when he had no idea if we could ever see each other again, he helped our family deal with one of lifes greatest losses. He turned the normally cold business interview process into an act of earing and supporting for ano

28、ther person in a time of extreme need. 59. According to the passage, the interviewer, Bruce, was very . A. generous B. kind C. happy D. mean 60.

C One would have to be a fool to overlook the importance of using positive thinking for you rather than sno

31、wing negative thinking to work against you. In recent years, research in psychopharmacology(精神药理学) has proved what many people have known over the centuries: a positive attitude is good for you, good for your health, good for your wealth, good for everything. Researchers have found that a positive a

32、ttitude produces a specific chemical reaction which makes people feel better, while negative thinking results in a reduction of hormone(荷尔蒙) and shuts down the immune system. This leads to illness and depression. Positive thoughts will make you feel better. Even if you must begin by forcing yourself

33、 to be positive, it will become contagious and the positive thoughts will produce nice little chemicals and good feelings which will reinforce the positive thoughts. For example, if you force yourself to smile or laugh, even when you “dont feel like smiling or laughing, if you keep at it for a few m

34、inutes, you will soon feel like it. Feelings can make thoughts alive, and thoughts can do it, too. Control your thoughts and you can control your feelings. Positive thinking is important in all aspects of our lives. There is probably no single factor more important in determining your success in ach

35、ieving your career purposes than your own attitude. Its often been said that in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. And in the office of militant(好战的) negativism, the positive workers shine like gold. You cannot control external events, but you can learn to control your reaction to thos

36、e events and thereby have a positive attitude and be happy. This important key to success is totally within your control. Use it. 63. We can infer from the passage that .

Thinking: The Important Way D October 24the UN birthday is celebrated as United Nations Day. It is a day that belongs to everyone,

40、and it is celebrated in most countries of the world. Some countries celebrate for a week instead of a day. Every year the President of the United States, in a special announcement, asks Americans to remember United Nations Day. In many parts of the world, schools plan programmes for this day. Boys a

41、nd girls in some areas decorate（装饰）a United Nations tree, or plant a garden. In other areas young people put on plays about the United Nations.

42、untries are served. Always the purpose of these celebrations is to help everyone understand the United Nations and why it is important.

46、for the European Union (EU). The agreement or treaty(条约) which created the organization that eventually became the EU, the Treaty of Rome, stated that each countrys language must be treated equally. The original(原来的) six countries had only three languages between them: French, German and Dutch/Flemi

47、sh. However, there are now 15 countries in the EU, with a total of 12 languages. EU documents must be translated into all these languages, and at official meetings the speeches must be translated into all the languages by interpreters. All this translating is very expensive and time-consuming (费时的).

48、 It is said that nearly half of all employees of the EU are engaged in translating documents and speeches, and nearly half of the EUs administrative(管理方面的) costs are spent on this task. In the near future it is probable that several more countries, most of them having their own languages, will join the EU, thus making the situation ev
