The 92-year-
old, thin, calm and proud lady, who is fully dressed each morn ing by eight o’clock, even though she is nearly blind, moved to a nursing home today.
Her husband of 70 years recently passed away, making the m ove necessary. After many hours of waiting patiently in the hal l of the nursing home, she smiled sweetly when told her room was ready.
As she walked slowly to the elevator, I provided a true descrip tion of her tiny room, including the old sheets that had been h ung on her window. “I love it,” she said with the happiness of an eight-year-
old having just been presented with a new puppy.
“Mrs. Jones, you haven’t seen the room…just wait.”
“That doesn’t matter,” she replied. “Happiness is something you decide ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doe sn’t depend on how the furniture is arranged. It’s how I arrang ed my mind. I have already decided to love it. It’s a decision I make every morning when I wake up. Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open I’ll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I’ve stored away.” She went on to explain, “Old age is like a bank account. You take what you’ve put in. S o, my advice to you would be to put in a lot of happiness in th e bank account of memories. Thank you for your part in filling my memory bank.” And with a smile, she said, “All my memori es are happy ones.”

The market is a concept. If you are growing tomatoes in your backyard for sale you are producing for the market. You might sell some to your neighbor and some to the local manager of the supermarket. But in either case, you are producing for the market. Your efforts are being directed by the market. If peopl e stop buying tomatoes, you will stop producing them.
If you take care of a sick person to earn money, you are prod ucing for the market. If your father is a steel worker or a truck
driver or a doctor or a grocer, he is producing goods or servic e for the market.
When you spend your income, you are buying things from the market. You may spend money in stores, supermarkets, gas stations and restaurants. Still you are buying from the market. When the local grocer hires you to drive the delivery truck, he is buying your labor in the labor market.
The market may be something abstract (抽象
的). But for each person or business that is making and sellin g something, it is very concrete. If nobody buys your tomatoes , it won’t be long before you get the message. The market is t elling you something. It is telling you that you are using energi es and resources in doing something the market doesn’t want you to do.

Robert Frost was at heart a mean-
spirited human being, not the kind of man one would expect t o write poetry. He was born in San Francisco. Frost entered D artmouth University in 1893, but dropped out, and switched to Harvard, which he attended for two years. He started a brief t eaching career, where he was inspired to become a poet by s ome of his students’ work. Frost stopped teaching and becam e a farmer. During this time he wrote numerous poems, and a couple of short stories. While he was a farmer he started to t hink seriously about becoming a famous poet.
In almost all of his poems, Frost wrote in the first person. The first widely-
read poem that he published was called My Butterfly. At first h is audience was very small, but with his Collected Poems he became famous. Robert Frost received almost all the awards that there were for poetry. His poetry describes the forces of n ature, and the violence and deep emotional(情感
的) needs of human beings, which reflect the experiences of h is childhood.
Robert Frost will always be known as one of the best poets in history. His way of putting emotion and violence into words is remarkable(非同寻常的). His talent for poetry is natural-
born and he had discovered this when he started to farm. Eve n though he treated his wife and children terribly, he still beca me one of the best-known poets of his and our day.

Many people like the feeling of the gentle wind in spring. Man y like to see the falling leaves dancing in the wind in autumn. But sometimes, when the wind becomes a storm, it can be ve ry destructive (毁灭性的).
A series of such storms struck the US last month and caused very serious damage and human pain.
Every year, major storms cause many problems around the w orld. There is nothing people can do to stop these powerful for ces of nature. But new techniques are helping scientists to pr edict how, when, and where big storms will happen. The more exact scientists’ warnings are, the better people can prepare for the storms.
Predictions are improving. “We’ve gotten better over the years , especially the last few years,” says Phil Klotzback, a scientis t at an American university. How is a storm formed? Even if s cientists know where a storm will happen, winds can suddenly change, carrying the storm to a new direction. “For a hurrican e to happen, conditions have to be just right,” Klotzback says. First, the ocean water needs to be warm enough so that it e vaporates and rises into the air. As it rises, the air containing drops of water cools and turns back into liquid. This process g ives off heat. This produces energy like an engine that causes winds to increase. It drives the formation of a hurricane.
If wind speeds reach 40 miles per hour, the system is called a “tropical storm”, and it gets a name. At 75 miles per hour, it b ecomes a hurricane. Hurricanes that hit the US start when a t hunderstorm forms off the coast Africa. Storms also develop o
ver tropical waters in other parts of the world.
On average, 60 or 70 storms form off Africa every year. About 10 of them get names. There are usually about six hurricanes . Two tend to be very big, with winds of 115 miles per hour or a bit higher.
The hurricane season lasts from June to November. Ninety p ercent of all hurricanes hit in August, September and October.
68. According to the text, hurricanes usually ________.
A. form off the coast of Africa and America
B. hit parts of the world in summer and autumn
C. cause sea winds to rise and blow over the sea
D. strike the US but cause no damage
69. The underlined word “evaporates” (in Paragraph 5) proba bly means “________.”
A. begins to move
B. gets lost
C. becomes hot
D. ch anges into a gas
70. Which of the following about the information of a hurricane is the correct order?
a. The ocean water evaporates and goes into the air.
b. Heat creates energy and causes winds to increase.
c. The vapor cools.
d. The ocean water is warm enough.
e. The vapor changes back into liquid.
f. This course gives out heat.
A. a, d, e, b, c, f
B. a, b, c, f, d, e
C. d, a, c, e, f, b
D. d, a, b, c, e, f

Choosing the right job is probably one of the most important d ecisions we have to make in life, and it is frequently one of the hardest decisions we have to make. One important question t hat you might ask yourself is: “How do I get a good job?” 71 .
There are people who can answer an insignificant advertisem ent in the local paper and land the best job in the world; other s write to all sorts of places all over the country, and never se em to get a reply at all. Still others believe that the in person, door-to-
door approach is by far the best way to get a job; and then the
re are those who, through no active decision of their own, just seem to be in the right place at the right time. 72 . He use d to spend a lot of his free time down by the sea watching the tall ships, but never thinking that he might one day sail one of them. His father was a farmer, and being a sailor could never be anything for the boy but an idle dream. One day, on his us ual wandering, he heard the captain of the ship complaining t hat he could not sail because one member of his crew was sic k. Without stopping to think, the lad（少年）
offered to take his place. 73 .
74 . If the lad had gone home to consider about his decisi on for a week, he may have missed his chance. It is one thing to be offered an opportunity; it is another thing to take it and use it well.
Sometimes we hear stories about people who break all the rul es and still seem to land plum jobs（美
差）. When you go for a job interview or fill out an application, you are expected to say nice things about the company to wh ich you are applying. 75 . And within a year this person h ad become general manger of the company.
A. This story also illustrates the importance of seizing an oppo rtunity when it presents itself.
B. People find jobs in an infinite number of ways.
C. it’s almost impossible to find a good job by answering adve rtisement in newspapers
D. Take for example the young man who wanted to be a sailo r.
E. But there was one person who landed an excellent job by t elling the interviewer all the company’s faults.
F. He spent the rest of his life happily sailing the ships he had always loved.
G. It is very important to seize an opportunity when it presents itself.
