• 2．On a Friday night，a poor young artist stood at the gate of a New York subway station，playing his violin.Many of passers-by slowed down their paces and put some money into the hat of the young man.
     The next day，at the same place，he put his hat on the ground gracefully.Different from the day before，he took out a large piece of paper and laid it on the ground and put some stones on it.Then he adjusted the violin and began playing.It seemed more pleasant to listen to.
     The words read，"Last night，a gentleman named George Sang put an important thing into my hat mistakenly.Please come to claim it soon."
     Seeing this，people wondered what it could be.After about half an hour，a middle-aged man ran there hurriedly and rushed through the crowd to the violinist and grabbed his shoulders and said，"Yes，it's jye.ai.You do come here.I knew that you were an honest man and would certainly come here."
     "Are you Mr George Sang？ " asked the young violinist.
     The man nodded."Did you lose something？" "Lottery.It's lottery." "Is it？" The violinist took out a lottery ticket and asked.
     George nodded immediately and seized the lottery ticket and kissed it，and then he danced with the violinist.
     The story turned out to be this：George Sang bought a lottery ticket，winning a prize of ﹩500，000.After work，he passed the station and felt the music was so wonderful that he took out 50 dollars and put it in the hat.However，the lottery ticket was also thrown in.The violinist was a student at an Arts College and had planned to attend further study in Vienna.He had booked the ticket and would fly that morning.However，when he was cleaning up he found the lottery ticket.Thinking that the owner would return to look for it，he cancelled the flight and came back to where he was given the lottery ticket.
     When asked why he didn't take the lottery ticket for himself，the violinist said，"Although I don't have much money，I live happily.But if I lose honesty，I won't be happy forever." Through our lives，we can gain a lot and lose so much.But being honest should always be with us.

• 3．I was once told，"You are wasting your time on a career that will give you no money or comfort."
     I explored my interests for years and finally decided to be a journalist.However，I'm still influenced by others' arguments：print publications are being replaced by web versions where content is updated nearly every time you refresh the browser.But I hold onto my decision.Why？For the simple，yet powerful reason that it makes me happy in a way that no amount of money ever could.
     Rarely have I found others who think like this，and I find it very disappointing when I hear students trying to design their lives on the basis of factors（因素）other than keeping to their passions and interests.
     Factor number one is parents.They certainly have a right to be a part in their children's lives，but sometimes their words create more stress than encouragement.Instead of trying to make their children happy，as their original purpose may have been，parents can end up limiting their children's dreams and desires until nothing remains but the hard seeds of a cruel reality.
     The second factor is money.I had a conversation with my college friend one afternoon，which explains this point.
     "What happened？" I asked him after he said he had changed his major."I thought you wanted to be a photographer."
     "I do，" he said，"But there is no money in it.Don't worry，" he added，probably feeling my worry."I'm happy where I am." I was ready to believe that，but as we kept on talking，he continuously interrupted me to point out the beauty of this view and that view，saying he wished he had taken his camera with him.
     Naturally，we cannot predict where we will end up with our choices.Our ideas and plans could change as we progress.However，at this stage in our lives when so many voices are telling us who we should be，we need to value our individual dreams，not to abandon them，because they may be the only things left that tell us who we are.
  
  （1）Why is the author determined to be a journalist？

  
  A．Because he could get a high pay.
  B．Because he is influenced by others.
  C．Because he is truly interested in journalism.
  D．Because he has been studying journalism for years.
  （2）What does the author think of parents' role in their children's career choice？

  
  A．They shouldn't try to influence their children in any way.
  B．They help their children make the right choice of a career.
  C．They should support their children whatever they choose.
  D．They may destroy their children's dreams of a certain career.
  （3）What do we know about the author's friend？

  
  A．He doesn't care about what his job will bring him.
  B．He is still deeply interested in photography.
  C．He has lost his confidence in his abilities.
  D．He is doubtful about his new choice.
  （4）The author thinks that when choosing a career，

  .
  A．one should not consider their individual dreams
  B．one should take a lot of factors into consideration
  C．one's desires and interests should come first
  D．one should be realistic about future income

• 4．Modern day robots may not be as entertaining as R2 D2 or the robot from Lost in Space，but robots are very important to space exploration and are being used in a variety of different ways for several important reasons.
     Robots make great explorers on planets，moons，and other landing areas.Aside from the earth，just about every surface in the solar system is unsafe for humans to explore.The air on most other planets is insufficient for humans to breathe，making it necessary to wear a space suit and oxygen equipment.The temperatures on these surfaces are much too hot or much too cold for any humans to withstand.Plus there would be complications with radiation，weather，and a lack of gravity.Robots have much less limitation in these areas and can survive much longer under these conditions.
     Robots are designed for collecting scientific data.Robots are also able to perform many tasks at one time and can process information much quicker and more efficiently.Important scientific projects from detecting minerals，analyzing ground samples，to finding water are all performed much quicker and accurately by robots.
     The use of robots has made the cost of space exploration much less expensive than it would cost for humans to do the work.In order to successfully send humans into space we would need to build a vehicle that can not only carry humans，but also enough food and water to keep them alive for the duration of the trip.Moreover，robots have no problems working for hours on end.Robots never complain，they don't require food or water，and they never need a bathroom break.
     Over the past 30 years or so there have been many different types of robots used successfully in the exploration of space.Perhaps the most famous and successful robots are Spirit and Opportunity who have both been exploring the surface of Mars.They have both been very successful with experiments on soil and rocks and have even found evidence of water in Mars' history.
  
  （1）Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？

  
  A．The Development of Robots
  B．The Discovery of Space Exploration
  C．No Robots，No Space Exploration
  D．Robots Are Used in Space Exploration
  （2）The underlined word "withstand" in Paragraph 2 most probably means "

  ".
  A．remain
  B．bear
  C．defeat
  D．develop
  （3）According to the passage，which of the following is NOT true？

  
  A．The use of robots in space exploration costs more than the use of humans.
  B．It is dangerous for humans to explore other surfaces in the solar system except the earth.
  C．Both Spirit and Opportunity have found the evidence of water on Mars.
  D．Many different types of robots have explored the space successfully.
  （4）What is the writer's attitude in this passage？

  
  A．Negative.
  B．Persuasive.
  C．Subjective.
  D．Objective.

      A long time ago，a Monk（修士） set out on his travels accompanied by his assistant，a Brother.Night was falling when the Monk told the Brother to go on ahead to find accommodation.The Brother searched the deserted landscape until he found a shabby cottage，in the middle of nowhere.A poor family lived in the cottage.The mother，father and children were dressed in rags.The Brother asked if he and the Monk could spend the night with them."You are most welcome to spend the night，" said the father of the family.They prepared a simple meal consisting of fresh milk，cheese and cream for the Brother and the Monk.The Brother felt moved by their poverty and even more by their simple generosity.
      When they finished eating，the Monk asked them how they managed to survive in such a poor place，so far away from the nearest neighbors and town.The wife looked to her husband to answer.In a resigned tone of voice he told them how they managed to survive."We have one cow.We sell her milk to our neighbors who do not live too far away.We hold back enough for our needs and to make some cheese and cream-that is what we eat."
      The next morning，the Brother and the Monk said their good-byes and set out to continue their journey.After they had walked a few miles，the Monk turned to the Brother and said，"Go back and push the cow off the cliff（懸崖）！" "Father，" the Brother replied，"they live off the cow.Without her，they will have nothing." The Monk repeated his order "go back and kill the cow"．
      With a heavy heart，the Brother returned to the small cottage.He worried about the future of the family because he knew they depended on the cow to survive.His promise of obedience bound him to follow the orders of the wise Monk.He pushed the cow off the cliff.
      Paragraph 1：
      One day，the Brother，who had become a Monk，found himself on the same road where he found accommodation years ago.________
      Paragraph 2：
      "We have always lived here，"the man answered and then invited the Monk into their splendid house.__________
