Some time ago ,I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended ,as there are a whole lot of antiqueshops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me.
I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception. I was quite wrong. The man wouldn't even look at my chair.
The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth - so I decided that my approach must be wrong.
I went into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper,“ Would you like to buy a chair?〞 He looked it over carefully and said,“ Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?〞“Twenty pounds,〞I said. “OK, 〞he said, “I’ll give you twenty pounds. 〞“It ‘s got a slightly broken leg,〞I said. “Yes, I saw that, it's nothing.〞
Everything was going according to plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it?〞I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done. 〞“I'll buy it,〞I said. “What do you mean？You’ve just sold it to me,〞he said. “Yes, I know but I’ve changed my mind. I'm sorry, I'll give you twenty -seven pounds for it. 〞“ Your must be crazy, 〞he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair. 〞“ You’re right, 〞I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said,Would you mend this chair for me?I wouldn't have agreed to do it,〞he said. “We don’t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I’ll mend this for you, shall we say for a fiver?〞He was a very nice man and was greatly amusedby the whole thing.

A “blogger〞 is a person who writes on an Internet computer web site called a “blog〞．The word “blog〞 is a short way of saying web log, or personal web site．Anyone can start a blog, and they can write about anything they like．There are millions of blogs on the Internet today．They provide news, information and ideas to many people who read them．They contain links to other web sites．And they provide a place for people to write their ideas and react to the ideas of others．
A research company called Perseus has studied more than 3,000 web logs．It says that blogs are most popular with teenage girls．They use them to let their friends know what is happening in their life．The study also says that more than 100,000 bloggers stopped taking part in the activity after a year．
However, some people develop serious blogs to present political and other ideas．For example, the Republican and Democratic parties in the southern state of Kentucky recently started their own blogs．And American companies are beginning to use blogs to advertise their products．
At the same time, some long-standing blogs have ended．Last week, blogging leader Dave Winer closed his free blog service, weblogs．com．He says the site became too costly to continue．He started the blog four years ago, and thousands of people had written on it．
One blog that is still going strong is called Rebecca’s Pocket．It involvesmuch useful information for readers．Rebecca Blood created the web site in 1999．She wrote about the history of blogs on the site．That article led to a book called “The Weblog Handbook〞．It has been translated into four languages so far．
Ms Blood says Rebecca’s Pocket gets about 30,000 visitors a month．She writes about anything and everything----politics, culture and movies．She recently provided medical advice．And she wrote about how to prevent people from stealing money from online bank accounts．

United States President George W. Bush is expected to issue a directive in the next few weeks. It will give the US Air Force a green light for the development of space weapons, US media reported last week.
This would potentially start a new global arms race, some experts have warned.
To keep that from happening, last Wednesday the White House explained that it was not considering putting weapons in space. It said it was making a shift in US space policy to allow for protection of satellites.
But some defense analysts and arms control advocates argue that the policy will pave the way for the US to put both defensive and offensive weapons in space.
“No one should be fooled,〞 said Theresa Hitchens, an American weapons expert.
The US is now restricted by a 1996 directive signed by President Bill Clinton. Plans for space weapons were vetoed by the Clinton cabinet. The directive emphasized the peaceful use of space , in agreement with almost unanimous global opinion.
The US military has placed importance on space and has sent up numberous satellites for troop communications and to provide intelligence and data to guide bombs to their targets.
The US Air Force wants to develop space- based weapons that could strike targets anywhere in the world within 90 minutes of receiving the order to open fire.
These new weapons under development cover a wide range. They include hunter- killer satellites and orbiting weapons. And they use lasers, radio waves, or even dense metal tubes, known as “ Rods from God〞, dropped from space to do the damage.
There are many barriers to the setting up of this kind of program, experts say.
First is the coast. It is estimated that the budget may be US $220 billion to US $ 1 trillion .
The technical difficulties of developing reliable space weapons are also a problem.
And, the program will draw strong criticism from around the world. Experts worry about starting a space arms race.
53.Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A．US Military Plans
B．The Global Arms Race
C．A Comparison between Two Presidents
D．President George W. Bush and the World Peace
54.According to this passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A. President George W. Bush supports space weapon development.
B. The space weapon program will threaten world peace
C. Clinton government was poorer than Bush government.
D. The US space weapon project is very expensive.
55.After reading this passage, it can be inferred that “___________ “.
A. George W. Bush’s directive to be issued will be against global opinions
B. The White House is right in explaining that US new space policy aims to protect satellites
government has little difficulty in developing new space weapons
D. President George W. Bush and Bill Clinton share a lot in common
56.The author’s attitude toward s the coming space weapon development is _______.
A. optimistic
B. critical
C. excited
D. indifferent
E
There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.
People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things. The pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine, the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend(or hurt) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.
Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If
they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. These should change this bad habit
and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves
and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when
one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.
57．The phrase“sour the pleasure of society〞 most nearly means__________.
A. have a good taste with social life
B. make others unhappy
C. tend to scold others openly
D. enjoy the pleasure of life 58．We can conclude from the passage that__________.
A. people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness
B. such unhappy people are dangerous to social life
C. we should pity all such unhappy people
D. unhappy people can not understand happy persons
59．If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should ______.
A. prevent any communication with them
B. show no respect and politeness to them
C. persuade them to recognize the bad effects
D. quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes
60．In this passage, the writer mainly________.
A. describes two types of people
B. laughs at the unhappy people
C. suggests ways to help them unhappy
D. tells people how to be happy in life 第二节根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最优选项。
