11、rward to having five days off from duty. Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought Id hitch a ride (搭便车). I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon.

Most people were not willing to work on farms along the Atlantic because they worried about the terrible storms
19、that would destroy buildings and crops. The farmer received a steady stream of refusals at the interview for a farmhand.Finally, a short, thin man approached the farmer. “Are you a good farmhand?” the farmer asked him.“Well, I can sleep when the wind blows. ” answered the little man.Although puzzled

The little man worked well around the farm ，busy from dawn to dusk, and the farmer felt satisfied with the mans work.Then one night the wind howled loudly from offshore.

Tie things down before they are blown away! ”The little man rolled over in bed and said firmly, “No sir. I told you, I can sleep when the wind blows. ”Enraged (激 怒 ）by the response, the farmer was t
22、empted to fire him on the spot . Instead, he hurried outside to prepare for the storm. To his amazement，he discovered that all of the hay had been covered.

27、friend. The major qualities like faithfulness, devotion, friendly company, flash through our minds. But it is the large number of very small particular qualities that make up ones whole character, such as cheerfulness, friendliness, and punctuality (守时). After all, “ to make a friend, be a friend” i
28、s not such a big and difficult order. There are particular favorable qualities, which attract others to us, and some elements which do have an effect on people in fundamental psychology(基础心理学) or not.If you are in the presence of a shy person, talking and asking casual (随意的) questions may bring him
29、out of his shell. Think of what would be most acceptable to the other person, for you to talk, or to listen. Either way the goal is to make yourself pleasant.Always remember to listen, but listen intelligently. To have anyone “ hang on our words” is the most unnoticeably clever way in the world to p
30、lease somebody. For a few extremely happy seconds we are the center of attraction, but when it is our turn to be audience, let us remember how we felt as the actor, and lets be genuinely (真正地) interested in what the other fellow is saying.Other people will like us, if we like them. If you want frien
31、ds, keep your mind and heart open to friendship. Be alive to the other persons world.29. This passage is mainly about_.A. the ways of talking to a shy personB. some favorable qualities to be a psychologistC. how to make yourself attractive to your listenersD. how to make a friend and be a friend30.
32、The words “ bring him out of his shell” in this passage most probably mean _.A. make him become active B. make him feel more nervousC. help him understand the question betterD. help him listen intelligently31. According to the passage, an important way in making friends is to _.A. attract them B. be
33、 attracted C. listen attentively D. talk widelyDWhen should people be made to retire? 55? 65? Should there be a compulsory age limit?Many old people work well into their 70s and 80s, running families, countries or corporations. Other people, however, despite being fit and highly talented, are forced
34、 to retire in their fifties or even earlier because of the regulations of a company or the nation. This essay will examine whether people should be allowed to continue working as long as they want or whether they should be encouraged to retire at a particular stage.Some people think there are severa
35、l arguments for allowing older people to continue working as long as they are able. First of all, older employees have an immense amount of knowledge and experience which can be lost to a business or organization if they are made to retire. A second point is that older employees are often extremely
36、loyal employees and are more willing to carry out company policies than younger less committed staff. However, a more important point is regarding the attitudes in society to old people. To force someone to resign or retire at 60 indicates that the society does not value the input of these people an
37、d that effectively their useful life is over. Age is irrelevant to a working life, surely if older employees are told they cannot work after 60, this is age discrimination. That they become old does not necessarily mean they are going to be sick. Old people could be more aware, experienced and commi
38、tted than some youngsters.Others, however, think that allowing older people to work indefinitely is not a good policy. Age alone is no guarantee of ability. Old people are only ambitious workaholics who are too selfish and self-centered to believe that a younger person could do better. Actually, man
39、y younger employees have more experience or skills than older staff, who may have been stuck in one area or unit for most of their working lives. Having compulsory retirement allows new ideas in an organization. In addition, without age limits, however, many people would continue to work purely beca
40、use they did not have any other plans or roles. A third point of view is that older people should be rewarded by society for their lifes labor by being given generous pensions and the freedom to enjoy their leisure. We now have youngsters who cant find jobs because old people are choosing not to ret
41、ire. Old people are not retiring because this new generation of “old people” think they will never die due to modern advances in medicine.With many young people unemployed or frustrated in low-level positions, there are often calls to compulsorily retire older workers. However, this can affect the o
42、lder individuals freedom and right to work and can deprive(剥夺) society of valuable experience and insights. I feel that giving workers more flexibility and choice over their retirement age will benefit society and the individual.32. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To explain the compulsory ag
43、e limit. B. To discuss the retirement age.C. To examine peoples working life. D. To introduce a particular stage.33. Which of the following is NOT a reason for allowing old people to continue working according to the passage?A. Their contribution should be valued.B. Their experience should be made u
44、se of.C. They can help the youngsters.D. They are loyal employees.34. It can be inferred in the fourth passage that _.A. The young people have more creative spiritsB. Modern advances in medicine make old people never dieC. Pensions and freedom are not given to the old nowD. Old people believe that a
45、 younger person could do better35.

But you cant be successful when the
46、res a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the wrongdoer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake.Unfortunately, weve all been victims of betrayal（出卖，背叛） . Whether weve been stolen from, lied to, misled, or cheated on, there are different levels of losing trust. 37 The
47、yve been too badly hurt and they cant bear to let it happen again. Its understandable, but if youre willing to build trust in a relationship again, we have some steps you can take to get you there.Learn to really trust yourself. Having confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because
48、 you can see what the best outcome would be for your well-being. 38 If youve been betrayed, you are the victim of your circumstance. But theres a difference between being a victim and living with a “victim mentality”. At some point in all of our lives, well have our trust tested or violated. 39 Once
49、 trust is lost, what is left? Instead of looking at the situation from this hopeless angle, look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of the good in your life. 40 Instead, its a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room for positive growth and forgiveness.A.
