With the car full of flowers we were going home. On our way back my wife noticed a cupboard (柜厨) outside a furniture shop. It was tall and narrow. “Buy it,”my wife said at once. “We’ll carry it home on the roof rack. I’ve always wanted one like that.‖What could I do? Ten minutes later I was ￡20 poorer; and the cupboard was tied on the roof rack. It was six feet long and eighteen inches square, quite heavy too.In the gathering darkness I drove slowly. Other drivers seemed unusually polite that evening. The police even stopped traffic to let us through. Carrying furniture was a good idea.After a time my wife said, ―There’s a long line of cars behind. Why don’t they overtake, I w onder?‖ In fact a police car did overtake. The two officers inside looked at us seriously as they passed. But then, with great kindness, they led us through the rush-hour traffic. The police car stopped at our village church. One of the officers came to me.“Right, sir, ‖ he said. ―Do you need any more help?‖I was a bit puzzled. ―Thanks, officer,‖ I said. ―You have been very kind. I live just on the road.‖ He was staring at our car, first at the flowers, then at the cupboard. ―Well, well, ‖ he said, laug hing. ―It’s a cupboard you’ve got there! We thought it was something else.‖My wife began to laugh. The truth hit me like a stone between the eyes. I smiled at the officer. ―Yes, it’s a cupboard, but thanks again.‖ I drove home as fast as I could.36.

A great many so-called successful men and women believe that life is a business. If you believe so, your first question of life, naturally, is ―What do I get out of it?‖ ―How much is this worth to me?‖ In a word, based on this attitude, happiness becomes a matter of successful competition. The great majority of human beings today look at life as if it were a business.The third attitude towards life is the way of the artist. Here the basic philosophy is “What can I put into it?”They value cooperation（合作）and contribution. This point of view has been provided by history; for history remembers best those who have contributed most richly to the interests of their fellow-men. The more we investigate (调查), the more we become certain that the artistic attitude is the only one which goes with human happiness.40. According to the text, which attitude is the only one that goes with human happiness?A. the philosophy of vegetableB. Life is a business.C. the way of the artistD. none of them41.

The writer prefers the third life attitudeD. artists do most for the society in order to be remembered longer than othersCChinese internet search engine Baidu has attracted investment （投资）from Google, its US counterpart, as that company looks for opportunities in China. The move, which was announced last week, has underlined international interest in the fast-growing Chinese market.According to US reports, Google put US﹩10 million into the deal (交易).Baidu said this will help them upgrade technology and build a brand profile.Baidu founder and CEO Robin Li says he and his partner Eric Xu are Baidu’s biggest shareholders.The biggest benefit for Baidu from the Google deal will be the boost for an offering on the NASDAQ stock market in the US.China has more than 80 million internet users and growing access to broadband in urban areas and internet cafes in remote towns.Baidu is one of the most promising of the Chinese providers. The company began making a profit last year, with 80 percent of its revenue coming from paid listings. That’s where a customer pays to have a name and web link appear at the top a word search’s results list. Local research shows that Baidu accounts for 48 percent of searches by Chinese Internet users. Google is second with under 30 percent.However, Baidu is facing mounting challenges.The performance of Sina, Soho and Netease on the NASDAQ has brought results, Search engines are being seen by some as a future gold mine, following online advertising and mobile messages.In the face of all these , Li says he believe that Baidu’s Chinese language search engine focus will be its biggest advantage.44.

Some people regard search engines as something very valuableDA moment’s drilling by the dentist may make us nervous and upset. Many of us can’t stand pain. To avoid the pain of a drilling that may last perhaps a minute or two, we demand the “needle”-- a shot of Novocain（麻醉药的一种）--that deadens the nerves（神经）around the tooth.Now it’s true that the human body has developed its millions of nerves to be highly aware of what goes on both inside and outside of it. This helps us adjust to the world. Without our nerves-- and our brain, which is a bundle of nerves—we wouldn’t know what is happening. But we pay for our sensitivity. We can feel pain when the slightest thing is wrong with any part of our body being open to pain.But there is a way to handle pain. Look at the Indian fakir(苦行僧好) who sits on a bed of ails. Fakirs can put a needle right through an arm, and feel no pain. This ability that some humans have developed to handle pain should give us ideas about how the mind can deal with pain.The big thing in withstanding（经得起）pain is our attitude toward it. If the dentist says, “This will hurt a little,”it helps us to accept the pain. By saying relaxed, and by treating the pain as an interesting sensation, we can handle the pain without falling apart. After all, although pain is an unpleasant sensation, it is still a sensation, and sensations are the stuff of life.48. A system of nerves can make us ____.A. feel painB. enjoy painC. avoid painD. suffer pain49. The writer uses the Indian fakir as an example to show that_____.A. some people are able to handle painB.

NervesD. Life51. The author’s attitude towards pain is ____.A. pessimistic （悲观的）B. optimistic（乐观的）C. criticalD. practicalEThe American Thanksgiving Day celebration goes back to 1621.

They came to the new land and faced difficulties in coming across the ocean. The ship which carried them was called the Mayflower. The North Atlantic was difficult to travel. There were bad storms.
