I learned how to accept life as it is from my father.　21　,he did not teach me acceptance when he was strong and healthy.

　　My father was 　22　 a strong man who loved being active, but a terrible illness took all that 　23　.Now he can no longer walk. Even talking is difficult. One night, I went to visit him with my sisters, we started 　24　 about life, and I told them about one of my　25　. I said that we must always give things up 　26　 we grow our youth, but it always 　27　 that after we give something up, we gain something new in its 　28　. Then suddenly my father 　29　 up. He said, “But, Peter, I gave up 　30　! What did I gain?” I thought and thought, but I could not think of anything to say. 　31　,he answered his own question: “I gain the love of my family.” I looked at my sisters, and saw tears in their eyes, along with hope and thankfulness.

　　I was also 　32　 by his words. After that, when I began to feel irritated（愤怒的）at someone, I 　33　 remember his words and become 　34　. If he could replace his great 　35　 with a feeling of love for others, then I should be able to give up my small irritations.

As the Beatles represent the most important English contribution to rock in the 1960's, Bob Dylan is the most important American contributor. It is true in spite of the fact that he has never reached the top sale list of the record industry in the way the Beatles have.

　　Bob Dylan emerged from the popular folk movement during 1962 and 1963. His first two records, “Bob Dylan” and “the Freewheelin' Bob Dylan”, appeared in those years and established his national reputation. This reputation grew slowly, and was helped by his appearance around New York City and at college concerts. As early as 1962, Dylan became known for the quality and quantity of his song-writing. And Dylan's material has reflected a social awareness and has always involved protest against injustice. It has aroused a broad trend of similar songs in the present-day market. These elements, in combination with Dylan's particular sound, have made him one of the most remarkable figures in the history of rock.

It seems that beauty and women are twins. You are joking? No, I am not. Observe for yourself. Ads on fashion flood TV screens, radio programs, magazines, newspapers, and the streets. Whether they have realized or not, women are besieged（包围） by a sea of fashion. They are taught to think that without beautiful clothes they will grow old and lose their charm. So who dares to neglect dressing up at the cost of their appearance and youth?

　　But I do not agree with the opinion that women have to show their beauty through their looks. The richness of their mind proves to be more beautiful and attractive than their looks. A woman who has experienced many troubles and may be called “aunt” or “granny” can still maintain her beauty if she has such excellent qualities as knowledge, ability, a kind heart, great courage and concern for others.

　　In addition, old and young, beautiful and ugly are relative concepts. People who keep a young mind will never feel old. Curious about new things and eager to learn more, they keep up with the tide. Plainly dressed women may have a type of beauty, which is pure and real.

　　Reading and learning is the best way to keep one youthful. Good books are fertile soil which can feed the flower of one's heart and looks.

Why does the author say that beauty and women are twins?（　　）

What we can infer from the passage is ____.（　　）

Jim was intelligent, but he hated hard work. He said, “You work hard, and make a lot of money, and then the government takes most of it. I want easy work that gives me lots of money and that the government doesn't know about.”

　　So he became a thief—but he did not do the stealing himself. He got others to do it. They were much less intelligent than he was, so he arranged everything and told them what to do.

　　One day they were looking for rich families to rob, and Jim sent one of them to a large beautiful house just outside the town.

　　It was evening, and when the man looked through one of the windows, he saw a young man and a girl playing on a piano.

　　When he went back to Jim, he said, “That family can't have much money. Two people were playing on the same piano there.”

　　When he went back to Jim, he said, “That family can't have much money. Two people were playing on the same piano there.”

It can be concluded from the story that ____.（　　）

Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it is painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.

　　During the hours when you labour through your work you may say that you are “hot”. That's true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues（自言自语）as: “Get up, John! You'll be late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.

　　You can't change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you're sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract（对抗）your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won't change your cycle, but you'll get up steam（鼓起干劲）and work better at your low point.

　　Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.

Which of the following statement is NOT true?（　　）

Men have traveled ever since they first appeared on the earth.

　　In primitive times they did not travel for pleasure but to find new places where their herds could feed, or to escape from hostile neighbors, or to find more favorable climates. They traveled on foot. Their Journeys were long, tiring, and often dangerous. They protected themselves with simple weapons, such as wooden sticks or stone clubs, and by lighting fires at night and, above all, by keeping together.

　　Being intelligent and creative, they soon discovered easier ways of traveling. They rode on the backs of their domesticated animals; they hollowed out three trunks and, by using bits of wood as paddles, were able to travel across water.

　　Later they traveled, not from necessity, but for the joy and excitement of seeing and experiencing new things. This is still the main reason why we travel today.

　　Traveling, of course, has now become highly organized business. There are cars and splendid roads, express trains, huge ships and jet airliners, all of which provide us with comforts and security. This sounds wonderful. But there are difficulties. If you want to go abroad, you need a passport and a visa, ticket, luggage, and a hundred of other things. If you lose any of them, your journey may be ruined.
