No other animals have all three parts to work together. No animals can do what human beings can do. Humans can do many things and feel many things with the hand. The hand can hold onto things and make things because the thumb works with the fingers. This fifth finger is strong. Most animals dont have thumbs. The thumb can press against the other fingers. Without a thumb to press against the fingers, it is difficult to hold onto anything. The thumb and fingers can also fit the flat surface of a box and the curved (不平的) surface of a pencil. We can feel that something is hot or cold, soft or hard, smooth or rough. The hand, with thumb and fingers, is one of the best tools we have. Most animals see a flat picture. Their eyes can only see how high and how wide something is. Some animals see a different picture with each eye. Some dont see in colour. Humans see one picture with both eyes working together. We can see how high and how wide something is. We can also see how far in front of or in back of something a thing is. The brain tells other parts of the body how to work. Some of the things the body does are that is, we dont have to think about them. For example, we dont have to think to make our heart eat or our stomach work. The brain tells the eyes and hands how to make useful and beautiful things. That is how human beings become tool makers and artists. That is how human can have richer and better lives than other animals. 36. Human beings are different from other animals because _. A. human beings have the hands, the eyes, and the brain working all the time B. other animals also have hands, the eyes, and the brain C. human beings work together with other animals D. the hands, the eyes, and the brain of the human can work together 37. According to the passage, when you say you hold onto something, you mean _.

The author tells us that no animals can do what humans can do. He gives quite a few facts to support the idea. One of them is that _. A. most animals dont see in colour B. the humans see a thing with both eyes working together C. only humans can see and how high and how wide a thing is D. some animals can see only one picture 39. _ is automatic.

He went to the rubbish pit (垃圾坑)outside the city and threw the old shoes into the pit. Now they can bring me no more trouble, he said. He returned home, lay down in his bed and slept. But he had a dog, and the dog was used to going to the rubbish pit to look for food, because Johnny never bought food for his dog. The dog, who loved its master (主人) even though it was not given food, saw the shoes in the pit and knew they were its master's. So the dog took one of the heavy shoes in its mouth and went slowly back with it, and left it at its master's bedside. Then the dog fetched the other shoe in the same way. When Johnny woke up, he saw the shoes by his bed and he was afraid. There, shoes can walk by themselves, they must be done away with. he thought. Then he made a large fire in front of his house and put the shoes on it. Just then a strong wind was blowing and before long the fire made the house begin burning. His neighbours immediately came but could do nothing. The house burnt down but the old shoes were saved by the dog again. 40. The dog loved Johnny only because he _ .

The “Daily Mirror ” and the “Daily express” both sell about four million copies everyday. British families generally buy a newspaper every morning and two or three on Sundays. Besides the national papers, there is , however, another branch of the British press which sells almost as many copies. Local newspapers have a weekly circulation of 13 million. Almost every town and county area has one. Nearly all them hold their own financially (财政)and many of them are very profitable (赚钱的). These papers are written almost entirely for readers interested in local events-births, weddings, deaths, council (地方会议) meetings and sports. Editors prefer to rely on people who know the district well. A great deal of local news is regularly supplied by clubs and churches in the neighborhood and it does not get out to date as quickly as national news. The editors must never forget that the success of any newspaper depends on advertising (广告). He is usually anxious to keep the good will of local businessmen for this reason. But if the newspaper is well written and the news items have been carefully chosen to local readers, the business men are grateful for the opportunity (机会) to keep their products in the public eyes. 46Visitors to Britain are surprised to learn that .

In 1985,Regent Beryl Milburn produced a report blasting the University of Texas System adminitration for not encouraging women.The University was rated among the lowest for the system.In a 1987 update ,Milburn commended the progress that was made and called for even more improvement. One of the positive results from her study was a System-wide program to inform women of available administrative jobs. College of Communication Associate Dean Patrica Witherspoon,said it is important that woman be flexible when it comesto relocating if they want to rise in the ranks. Although a woman may face a chilly climate on campus , many times in order for her to succeed , she must rise above the problems around her and concentrate on her work. Until women make up a greater percentage of the senior positions in the University and all academia,inequities will exist. Women need to spend their energies and time doing scholarly activities that are important here at the University. Spirduso said.

The turning point of my life was my decision to give up a promising business career and study music. My parents, although sympathetic, and sharing my love of music, disapproved of it as a profession. This was understandable in view of the family background. My grandfather had taught music for nearly forty years at Springhill College in Mobile and, though much beloved and respected in the community, earned barely enough to provide for his large family. My father often said it was only the hardheaded thriftiness of my grandmother that kept the wolf at bay. As a consequence of this example, the very mention of music as a profession carried with it a picture of an insecure existence with uncertain financial rewards. My parents insisted upon college instead of a conservatory(音乐学院), and to college I went. Before my graduation form Columbia, the family met with severe financial reverses and I felt it my duty to leave college and take a job. Thus was I launched upon a business career which I always think of as the wasted years. Now I do not for a moment mean to disparage business. My whole point is that it was not for me. I went into it for money, and aside from the satisfaction of being able to help the family, money is all I got out of it. It was not enough. I felt that life was passing me by. From being merely discontented I became acutely miserable. My one ambition was to save enough to quit and go to Europe to study music. I continued to make money, and finally, bit by bit, accumulated enough to enable me to go abroad. The family being once more solvent, and my help no longer necessary, I resigned from my position and, feeling like a man released from jail, sailed for Europe. I stayed four years, worked harder than I had ever dreamed of working before and enjoyed every minute of it. I was meant to do. If I had stayed in business, I might be a comparatively wealthy man today, but I do not believe I would have made a success of living. I would have given up all those intangibles, those inner satisfactions, that money can never buy, and that are too often sacrificed when a mans primary goal is financial success. Money is a wonderful thing, but it is possible to pay too high a price on it. 1. The authors parents discouraged him from studying music chiefly because A. they didnt understand why music was so important to him. B. they didnt know whether he would be a successful musician. C. they didnt believe any conservatory was as good as Columbia. D. they didnt think as a music teacher he would make much money. 2. For what did the author leave Columbia before he graduated? A. He received a good job offer. B. He couldnt wait to study music. C. He felt he should help his family. D. He was dissatisfied with Columbia. 3. Which of the following statements about the authors business career is true? A. He made a large amount of money. B. He didnt enjoy his career in business. C. He worked very hard as a businessperson. D. He didnt think his profession was noble one. 4. From the passage we know that the author believes A. one shouldnt sacrifice his inner satisfactions for the sake of money B. a persons primary goal in life shouldnt be financial success C. parents should not always tell their children what to do D. not everyone can have a successful career in business 2 A team of British engineers will announce a plan for the worlds first 1,000 mph car, a pencil shaped vehicle designed to break the world land speed record.
