“The first and best of victories is for a man to conquer himself; to be conquered by himself is, of all things, the most shameful,” says Plato. Self-control is at the root of all the advantages. Let a man give in to his impulses(冲动) and feelings, and from that moment he gives up his moral(道德) freedom.
A single angry word has lost many friends. When Socrates found in himself any temper or anger, he would check it by speaking low in order to control himself. If you are conscious of being angry, keep your mouth shut so that you can hold back rising anger. Many a person has dropped dead in great anger. Fits of anger bring fits of disease. “Whoever the gods would destroy they first make them mad.” “Keep cool,” s ays Webster, “anger is not argument.” “Be calm in arguing,” says George Herbert, “for fierceness(狂怒) makes error a fault.”
To be angry with a weak man is to prove that you are not strong yourself. “Anger,” says Pythagoras, “brings with folly and ends with regret.” You must measure the strength of a man by the power of the feelings he conquers, not by the power of those which conquer him.
Self-control is man’s last and greatest victory.
If a man lacks self-control he seems to lack everything. Without it he can have no patience, no power to govern himself; he can have no self-confidence, for he will always be controlled by his strongest feeling. If he lacks self-control, the very backbone and nerve of character are lacking also.
40.What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. The importance of self- control.
B. How to conquer oneself?
C.The relation between a man’s moral freedom and his feelings.
D. A man should keep cool.
41.What’s the meaning of “whoever the gods would destroy they first make them m ad”?
A. If you are mad, the gods will kill you.
B. If you lose your temper first, gods will kill you first.
C.If you can’t control yourself, you will be crazy.
D. If the gods want to kill you, they will make you mad first.
42. Which of the following is NOT true, according the to passage?
A. The first and best of victories is for a man to conquer himself.
B.You will make a small mistake serious if you don’t keep cool.
C.You must measure a man’s strength by the power of the feelings which conquer him.
D. Anger brings with folly and ends with regret.
43.Which of the following can’t help you avoid anger, according to the passage?
A. Be calm in arguing.
B. Check your temper or anger by speaking low.
C. Keep your mouth shut.

Surfing—the art of riding a wave on a pointed board—is the wildest, fastest natural water sport known to man. In recent years, it has developed into a major sport around the world, from Australia to South Africa. Australians brave(挑战) men-eating sharks to ride the green waves Down Under, Hawaiian experts risk their lives on huge, thirty-foot swells(浪涛) against the wind of Oahu; Californians of all ages go out the year-round. In the winter, surf-riders put on life-suits to ride grave waves so cold that their flesh turns blue.
Surfing is no sport for weak persons. Swimming a quarter of a mile or more, and pushing a surfboard out to where the swells are just right for riding, can be real work. Then, at exactly the right moment, you climb up the wave and go fast across the face of a powerful swell with the white water jumping at your feet. The huge wave bites at your shoulder, threatening(威胁) at any moment to smash you flat. In the next several seconds, a cool head and lightning-quick action back to the pressure of the attacking wave will bring your board under control for that great ride down the back of the great, green mountain of water. Once on the beach, you know why surfing is growing in popularity as an international sport, and you’re glad to be a member of this new water world.

A. the definition of the sport
B. people around the world go surfing
C. how to surf in the sea
D. where to surf around the world

C. should be done by everyone

A. you must first swim a quarter of a mile to warm your body
B. you will first ride on a board to reach the swells
C. you must first put on your life-suits before doing surfing
D. you must first swim to the swells with your board
