Self-c
25、ontrol is at the root of all the advantages. Let a man give in to his impulses (冲动) and feelings, and from that moment he gives up his moral freedom.A single angry word has lost many friends. When Socrates found in himself any temper or anger, he would check it by speaking low in order to control hi
26、mself. If you are conscious of being angry, keep your mouth shut so that you can hold back rising anger. Many a person has dropped dead in great anger. Fits of anger bring fits of disease. “Whoever the gods would destroy they first make them mad.” “Keep cool,” says Webster, “anger is not argument.”
27、“Be calm in arguing,” says George Herbert, “for fierceness (狂怒) makes error a fault.”To be angry with a weak man is to prove that you are not strong yourself. “Anger,” says Pythagoras, “begins with foolishness and ends with regret.” You must measure the strength of a man by the power of the feelings
28、 he conquers, not by the power of those which conquer him. Self-control is mans last and greatest victory. If a man lacks self-control he seems to lack everything. Without it he can have no patience, no power to govern himself; he can have no self-confidence, for he will always be controlled by his
29、strongest feeling. If he lacks self-control, the very backbone and nerve of character are lacking too. 56. Whats the main idea of the passage?A. Self- control is important for a man. B. We should learn to be strong.C. A man who keeps cool wont lose any game.D. The great heroes in history knew how to
30、 control themselves.57. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?A. If you are mad, the gods will kill you.B. If you lose your temper first, gods will kill you first.C. If you cant control yourself, you will be crazy.D. If the gods want to kill you, they will make you mad first.58. Whic

Keeping your mouth shut. D. Trying to make the other angry first.BMusic died here last spring, or rather,
33、it was killed by members of the school committee who ignored the importance of music and drama as part of the high-school curriculum(课程).The committee decided that teaching students how to take a standardized test is more important than a curriculum in which students can explore their interests in t
34、he arts as well as academics. Because the school system is running out of funding, it needs to make sure that students pass the mastery test or even more money will be lost. If students fail the state standardized test, it is not the fault of drama and music classes they are failing because the acad
35、emic classes are not sufficient (足够).It is painful to think of how many students will be discouraged from singing, acting, and playing instruments because school programs are no longer offered. Many families cannot afford private music lessons, and many potential musicians and artists may not find t
36、heir calling if they are not exposed to it in school. The fact that the school committee thinks the arts are not worth the investment will certainly make some students believe the arts are not worth their time or support and the cycle will continue.Teaching for a test does not shape students into co
37、mplete, well- rounded people. It blocks the natural sense to create and express feelings through art there is more to life than the analytical thinking that math and English provide. What happens after a test? Sure, a student might graduate, but they will have limited knowledge certainly not a good
38、preparation for the real world.60. Music and drama are ignored by _.A. students B. the school committee C. teachers D. parents61. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.

Quite a few students are discouraged from music and art in todays school system 62. We can learn that music and art can _.A. provide students with analytical thinki
40、ngB. make students round-shaped people in futureC. motivate students in creativity and expression D. prevent students graduating from high school63. The best title of the passage can be _.A. Who Killed Music and Drama? B. Can Curriculum Go Without Arts? C. Why is Music So Important? D. How to Prepar
41、e For the Real World?CStopping teens from smoking is a big challenge many communities face today. Many communities can only watch without being able to act while local businesses continue to sell tobacco products to children, even under the risk of punishment by law. Recent studies show that a large
42、 percentage of teens today are getting their cigarettes from stores, mostly gas stations or convenience stores. As teens continue to be able to buy their own cigarettes, more and more communities begin to punish those who sell cigarettes to the teens. One community has experienced success in their a
43、ttempts to stop the sale of tobacco products to children. Woodridge, Illinois, started a program seven years ago which forbade and strictly punished the sale of tobacco products to children. The entire program includes local licensing of vendors (小贩), repeated undercover inspections to see if the sa
44、le to children has stopped, and education programs in schools. Woodridge has become a model community as other communities are moving to stop teen tobacco use. A recent national study showed that 36.5% of females, and 40.8% of males buy their cigarettes from stores, whether it is a gas station or a
45、supermarket. Hopefully, as more and more sellers see the trouble they face if caught selling to children, they will stop selling. True, tightening down on stores that sell tobacco to children isnt going to completely stop the problem of teen tobacco use. Teens continue to get them from other sources
46、. But it definitely does prevent their efforts. With more education in schools, and perhaps stronger punishments for teens caught with tobacco, more and more teens will see the problems with the tobacco usage, and will stop the habit.64. To stop teens from smoking, more and more communities are _.A.
47、 punishing those who sell cigarettes to teensB. punishing teens caught with tobacco more severelyC. educating those who sell cigarettes about the danger of teen smokingD. stopping the sale of tobacco products in stores65. Which of the following is NOT a way Woodridge uses to stop tobacco sale to children?A. Local licensing to tobacco sale. B. Repeated undercover insp
