24、 forced to move to a new neighborhood. He surprised his landlord by telling him that he was leaving because he could not afford to buy any more chocolate.It all began a year ago when Albert returned home one evening and found a large dog in front of his gate. He was very fond of animals and as he ha
25、ppened to have a small piece of chocolate in his pocket, he gave it to the dog. The next day, the dog was there again. It held up its paws and received another piece of chocolate as a reward. Albert called his new friend “Bingo“. He never found out the dogs real name, nor who his owner was. However,
26、 Bingo appeared regularly every afternoon and it was quite clear that he preferred chocolate to bones. He soon grew dissatisfied with small pieces of chocolate and demanded a large bar a day. If at any time Albert neglected his duty, Bingo got very angry and refused to let him open the gate. Albert

29、le. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?It is o
30、bvious that such uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people. A persons conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other peoples reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all ar
31、eas of their lives.Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing “the right thing.“ Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult t
32、o be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one, “Youre just saying that to make me feel good. I know its not true.“ It is clear that while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overco
33、me shyness with determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths.Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal w
34、ays. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Lets not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life. B 11. What does the author try to prove by citing “what kind of impression am I making?“ (Para. 1)_A) Shy people benefit from t
35、heir caring about their appearance.B) Peoples shyness made them care too much about their appearance and actions.C) Its natural that shy people dont believe others compliments.D) Shy people think they are different from others.A 12. According to the writer, self-awareness is _.A) a good qualityB) th
36、e cause of unhappinessC) harmful to peopleD) a weak point of shy peopleB 13. That shy people react to a compliment in such a way is _.A) good B) unreal C) very reasonable D) harmfulC 14. Which of the following statements is true, according to the passage? _A) Shyness helps us to develop our potentia
37、lB) Shyness enables us to understand ourselves betterC) Shyness can block our chances for a rich lifeD) Shyness has nothing to do with lack of self-esteemB 15. It can be inferred from the passage that shy people _.A) should find more of their weaknessB) should understand themselves in the right wayC
38、) had better ignore their weaknessD) can get rid of their shyness while maintaining low self-esteemPassage FourWhat makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is “no“. It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses the
39、se tools that makes him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further, he must be su
40、re that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answers he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works.The scientists knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right j
41、ust half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes in th
42、e conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the Theory of Relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigations, Einsteins ideas were shown to be correct. A sci
43、entist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations. B 16. What makes a scientist according to the passage? _A) The tools he uses.B) The way he uses his tools.C) His ways of learning.D) The various tools he uses.C
44、 17.

A sound scientific theory should be one that _.A) works not only u
45、nder one set of conditions at one time, but also under the same conditions at other timesB) does not allow any changes even under different conditionsC) can be used for many purposesD) leave no room for improvementC 19. The author quotes the case of Albert Einstein to illustrate _.A) that measuremen
46、ts are keys to success in scienceB) that accuracy of mathematicsC) that investigations are important in scienceD) that the mathematical calculations may test his investigationsD 20. What is the main idea of the passage? _A) The theory of relativity.B) Exactness is the core of science.C) Scientists a
47、re different from ordinary people.D) Exactness and ways of using tools are the keys to the making of a scientist.Part IV ClozeMany people would agree that stress is a major problem in modern life. It is certainly true that worry and quarrel can cause all kinds of illnesses, _1_ backache to severe he
48、adaches, or even more serious complaints such as high blood pressure.Many of us think _2_ stress as something that other people impose on us. We often complain about how other people put us _3_ pressure. But we should try not to let such pressure affect us. We should not forget that we are largely responsible for some of the stress ourselves. We sometimes take _4_ more work than our bodies and our minds can handle.
