I simply mean that the 38 of it made me 39 more what I had left.Life, I believe, 40 a continuous series of adjustments to reality. The more 41 a person isable to make these adjustments, the more 42 his life becomes. The adjustment is never easy. I had to 43 in myself, or else I would have collapsed(崩溃). When I say belief in myself, I am not talking about simply the kind of 44 that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase alone. But I 45 something bigger than that: an assurance(确信) that I am, 46 imperfections, a real, positive person.It took me years to discover and 47 this assurance. Once a man gave me an indoor baseball. I thought he was making fun of me and I was 48 . “I cant use this,” I said. “Take it with you,” he urged me, “and roll it around.” The word stuck in my head.

Many single people say that Frances capital is one of the most difficult places to meet people. The complaints(抱怨) of this lonely group have inspired a new phenomenon known as “supermarket dating.” At Galerie Lafayette Gourmet，singles can shop for more than just the items on their grocery list. They can look for someone who has blue eyes, brown hair, and is 1.8 meters tall, or whatever may be on their romantic shopping list.At this Paris location single people of all ages can schedule their shopping for Thursday nights between 6: 30 and 9: 00 P.m. When they walk through the door, they pick up a purple basket to advise that they are looking for love. They try to arrive early because the baskets disappear quickly, and then they have to wait in line for their turn to wander the store aisles(过道).With purple baskets in hand, shoppers can consider their romantic options(选择) while they pick out their groceries. When they are ready to pay, they can go to the checkout line for singles who want to chat.Most of the people who look for love in the supermarket are doubtful of Internet dating. They know that it is easy to embellish(美化) ones appearance or to lie about ones age over the Internet. The supermarket, on the other hand, is considered a safe and casual environment in which to meet a potential match. In addition, what one finds in anothers grocery basket can say a thing or two about that persons character or intentions. Buying pet food can be a mans way of showing a potential match that he has a sensitive side. Women who fill their baskets with low-fat food show their healthy style of living. These days its possible to find much more than food at a grocery store.56. Which of the following can be inferred but is not clearly stated in the second paragraph?A. The dating supermarket is located in Paris.B. The dating supermarket is open only on Thursday evenings.C. The dating supermarket has very good business. D. People looking for love must get a basket of a particular color.57. How do love shoppers meet one another? A. They go through a special checkout.B. They schedule their meeting in advance.C. They pick out their groceries with great care.D. They dial the phone numbers on their shopping items.58. According to the writer, a possible way to win a womans heart is to _.A. pick up a purple basket B. buy pet foodC. embellish your appearance D. buy low-fat food59. Why do the people prefer the supermarket dating to Internet dating?A. The supermarket dating is more casual. B. The supermarket dating is more convenient. C. The supermarket dating is less expensive. D. The supermarket dating can be trusted more. BStreet art can be found on buildings, sidewalks, street signs and even dustbins from Tokyo to Paris to New York City. This special kind of art can take the form of paintings, sculptures, cloth or even stickers. Street art has become part of a global visual culture. Now, even art museums and galleries are collecting the work of street artists.It is not easy to provide an exact history of the street art movement. This kind of art has developed in many kinds of ways in places all over the world. Also, because it is illegal to paint public and private property without permission, street artists usually work secretly. This secretive nature of street art and its countless forms make it hard to define(下定义) exactly. And people have different opinions about the movement. Some think street art is a crime and destroys property. But others see this art as a rich form of non-traditional cultural expression.Many experts say the movement began in New York City in the nineteen sixties. Young adults would use paint in special cans to spray their “tag” on walls and train cars around the city. This tag was a name they created to identify themselves and their artwork. This colorful style of writing is also called graffiti. It is visually exciting and energetic.Graffiti also became a separate movement expressing the street culture of young people living in big cities. Graffiti art represented social and political rebellion(反抗). These artists could travel around areas of the city making creative paintings for everyone to see. Sometimes this street art created a dispute(争端) between artists and city officials. Graffiti artists created their images and city officials quickly painted over them.During the 1980s, two famous New York paintersKeith Haring and Jean Michel began showing their work in art galleries and museums. This is when street art started to become part of the more general popular culture.60. What can we infer from the first paragraph?A. Street art is very special compared with other forms of popular art. B. Street art has become popular and is accepted as a kind of culture.C. Many people are beginning to learn street art.D. Street art is better developed in big cities than in rural areas.61. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. “TAG” was a word created by people to distinguish street artists and the other artists.B. There are three reasons to explain why it is hard to define the history of street art.C. All the people dont think that the street art is a rich form of cultural expression. D. The movement of street art began in the 1980s in New York City.62. The city officials used to get rid of graffiti probably because _.A. they were ugly in someones eyes B. they caused arguments between people C. they were not painted under proper guidance D. they didnt express good traditional culture63. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. What does graffiti art stand for? B. The way to become a street artist.C. The work of street artists. D.
