The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its missing piece. It was incomplete and 35 could roll only very slowly. While rolling, it 36 the flowers along the way, chatted with worms and enjoyed the 37 .One day the circle found a piece that fit perfectly. It was so 38 ! Now it could be 39 with nothing missing. It fixed the missing piece in itself and began to roll. 40 it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to 41 the flowers or talk to the worms. When it realized how 42 the world seemed when it rolled so quickly, it stopped, 43 its found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away.The 44 of the story, I think, is that in some strange sense we are more whole when we are 45 something. The man who has everything is 46 a poor man. He will never know 47 it feels like to desire, to hope, to nourish（滋养） his soul with the dream of something 48 .If we are brave enough to let go of our unrealistic dreams, 49 enough to go through a tragedy and survive, generous enough to 50 anothers happiness, and wise enough to know there is enough love to go around for us all, then we can achieve our dreams that 51 living creature will ever know.When we accept that 52 is part of human being, and when we can continue rolling 53 life and appreciate it, we will have achieved a wholeness that others can only 54 to. That, I believe, is what God asks of usnot "Be perfect", not "Don't even make a mistake", but "Be whole".35. A. finallyB. otherwise C. howeverD. therefore36. A. admired B. found C. grew D. planted37.

Now, the father and daughter who have no connection to Atlanta are meeting for the first time at Chops Steakhouse in Buckhead, North Atlanta. Antoniou was born in Southern California, but recently moved to Newnan, Georgia. Dr Becker lives in Wichita, Kansas.“I started looking for her and I could not find her. I could not find her mother. So, I thought maybe one day my daughter would Google her name and maybe she would find me that way and five days ago she found me,” Becker said.He named the website after her and while Antoniou was typing her name in, “Scott Becker looking for April”, the website he created nearly 10 years ago, popped up. The two communicated by e-mail and over the phone for the past five days. Becker said he confirmed her mothers maiden name, her birthday, middle name and some other specific details only his daughter would know.“He is absolutely my father. I just felt like I wasnt complete and now I feel peace. I always asked my mom information about my father so I could find him,” Antoniou said.On Antonious Facebook page she writes, “You think I could have Googled that 7 years ago and saved myself the yearly suffering. But, it all happens when it happens for a reason.”Over the past 30 years, Dr Becker says he has hired private investigators, and been tricked by people claiming to be his daughter.

It can reveal (揭示) laws of nature, cure diseases, make bombs, and help bridges to stand up. Indeed science is so good at what it does that theres always a temptation (诱惑) to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful. David Brooks, author of The Social Animal, The Hidden Sources of Love, Character, and Achievement, appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation.Brooks gained fame for several books. His latest book The Social Animal, however, is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books. It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics. The book focuses on big questions: What has science revealed about human nature? What are the sources of character? And why are some people happy and successful while others arent?To answer these questions, Brooks surveys a wide range of subjects. Because of this, you might expect the book to cover a variety of facts. But Brooks has structured his book in an unusual, and perhaps unfortunate way. Instead of introducing scientific theories, he tells a story, within which he tries to make his points, perhaps in order to keep the readers attention. So as Harold and Erica, the hero and heroine in his story, live through childhood, we hear about the science of child development and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction. Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters.On the whole, Brookss story is acceptable if uninspired. As one would expect, his writing is mostly clear and, to be fair, some chapters stand out above the rest. I enjoyed, for instance, the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own. While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong characters, the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere. These problems partly involve Brookss attempt to translate his tale into science.60. The author mentions the functions of science at the beginning of the passage to_. A. show where science can be applied B. show the value of Brookss new book C. remind the reader of the importance of science D. explain why many writers use science in their works61. According to the author, which of the following could be a strength of the book? A. Its strong basis.B. Its convincing points. C. Its clear writing.D. Its strong characters.62. What does the underlined word “this” refer to in Paragraph 3?A. introducing scientific theories B. telling a storyC. the science of child developmentD. the theory of sexual attraction63. What is the authors general attitude towards the book? A. Contradictory(矛盾的)B. Supportive. C. Cautious.D. Critical.64. What is the author likely to write about after the last paragraph? A. Problems with the book.B. Brooks life experience. C. Death of the characters.D. Brooks translation skills. COn October 24, 1929 “Black Thursday”a wave of panic selling of stocks swept the New York Stock Exchange. The Great Depression began. By 1932, thousands of banks and businesses had failed. Industrial production was cut in half, farm income had fallen by more than half, wages had decreased 60 percent, new investment was down 90 percent and one out of every four workers was unemployed.The Republican president, Herbert Hoover was unable to take measures to deal with the economic collapse. So in the 1932 election, he was defeated by Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt, who promised “a New Deal for the American people”.Within the “Hundred Days”, Roosevelt rushed through Congress a number of laws to aid the recovery of the economy. The Civilian Conservation Corps put young men to work in reforestation and flood.T
