The cold weather of the last weeks has had a surprising result. 4000 Russian red-necked ducks have arrived in Britain where the weather, just below freezing, is like spring to them.The Russian red-necked ducks manage perfectly well at temperature down to 30 degrees 21 zero. They wouldn‘t think of leaving home at minus 40. But, as the cold gets colder, they make a quick 22 to take off together all with a single thought 23 : ―Go somewhere 24 .‖Last Tuesday the small lake near my house was 25 by above three hundred Russian red- necked ducks, a noisy lot, though I must say they were not trouble. Our local birds were at first quite 26 by these 27 from far away, and there were some obvious language difficulties too.At 9 I went down 28 to the edge of the lake, with a little bread and milk for our own birds. I saw them standing about, 29 the foreigners to eat up everything. But my worry proved 30 ; The red-n ecked birds didn‘t like the bread at all. Many of them 31 a mouthful, and threw up. In fact they pushed and fought to get away from the food, our own birds looked at them in surprise.My wife had followed me down the path with a 32 cake she had made on Monday evening. She had forgotten to turn off the electricity in time, and the cake got 33 . Now that, funnily enough, the Russian birds 34 it, though our birds wouldn‘t touch it.

Albert Einstein was unable to get a job as a physics professor. He could have said to himself, ―Well, I just don‘t have the work relative to physics. I should give up on it and settle for something else.‖ Instead, he wrot e the two most famous papers while employed as a patent clerk. After their publication, there was not a major university in the world that would not have been glad to have him on their staff.If you want to work as an artist and you are making a living as a waiter, don‘t think of yourself as a waiter who hopes one day to become an artist. That puts the work you love somewhere off in the distant future. Rather, think of yourself as an artist, supporting yourself by waiting tables, and paint, or draw as much as you can. It is possible to earn a living wage as a waiter working 24 hours a week. That leaves plenty of time to devote to training or developing your craft（工艺）in the off hours.While seeking the work you love, it helps to expand your awareness（意识）into the universe of all possibilities. You don‘t want to be limited to the ideas of what you should do or what you have done before. Having opened to all possibilities, you can make a final decision and select the work you love as your own.Doing the work you love requires that you be equally comfortable with the imaginative and the practical. It requires the ability to dream big dreams and the ability to face and master all the little details that make dreams come true.43．According to the passage, perhaps Einstein once said to himself, ―_______.‖A．I have to support myself by working as a patent clerk now, but I won‘t give physics up B．Well, I just don‘t have the work relative to physics. I should give up on it and settle for something elseC．The job is just what I want, I should work very hard at itD．I must wait until I find my favorite job44．If a person works 24 hours a week, he can________.A．do nothing else B．have enough spare time for his hobbies C．have no time left to make his dream come true D．make a good living 45．Which of the following is not implied in the last paragraph?A．We shall do practical things rather than dream.B．Sometimes the imaginative is different from the practical.C．We have to take care of a lot of details before we make our dreams come true.D．We shall dream big dreams and practice as well.46．According to the passage, the author encourages us to ________.A．dream often B．start the work you love quicklyC．select job carefully and patiently D．make up our minds quicklyDParents and kids today dress alike, listen to the same music, and are friends. Is this a good thing? Sometimes, when Mr. Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, listen to rock music together and talk about interests they both enjoy, such as pop culture, he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager.―I would never have said to my mom, ‗Hey, the new Weezer album is really great. How do you like it?‘‖ says Ballmer. ―There was just a complete gap in taste.‖Music was not the only gulf. From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations, earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits.Today, the generation gap has not disappeared, but it is getting narrow in many families. Conversations on subjects such as sex and drugs would not have taken place a generation ago. Now they are comfortable and common. And parent-child activities, from shopping to sports, involve a feeling of trust and friendship that can continue into adulthood.No wonder greeting cards today carry the message, ―To my mother, my best friend.‖But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents. ―There‘s still a lot o f strictness and authority on the part of parents out there, but there is a change happening,‖ says Kerrie, a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College. ―In the middle of that change, there is a lot of confusion among parents.‖Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these evolving roles and attitudes. They see the 1960s as a turning point. Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic process that encourages everyone to have a say.―My parents were on the ‗before‘ side of that change, but today‘s parents, the 40-year-olds, were on the ‗after‘ side,‖ explains Mr. Ballmer. ―It‘s not something easily accomplished by parents these days, because life is more difficult to understand or deal with, but sharing interest s does make it more fun to be a parent now.‖47. Which of the following shows that the generation gap is disappearing?A. Parents help their children develop interests in more activities.B. Parents put more trust in their children‘s abilities.C. Parents and children talk more about sex and drugs.D. Parents share more interests with their children.48. The change in today‘s parent-child relationship is _________.A. more confusion among parentsB. new equality between parents and childrenC. less respect for parents from childrenD. more strictness and authority on the part of parents49. By saying ―today‘s parents, the 40-year-olds, were on the ‗after‘ side.‖ the author meansthat today‘s parents _________.A. follow the trend of the changeB. can set a limit to the changeC. fail to take the change seriouslyD. have little difficulty adjusting to the change50. The purpose of the passage is to _________.A. describe the difficulties today‘s parents have met withB. suggest the ways to handle the parent-child relationshipC. discuss the development of the parent-child relationshipD. compare today‘s parent-child relationship with that in the past第II卷四、根据短文内容及所给的首字母写出所缺的单词。
