He was famous for his sense of humour. Many people liked to listen to him talk because he liked to tell some interesting stories to make people laugh all the time.One day Mark Twain was going to a small town because of his writing. Before he was going to leave, one of his friends said to him that there were always a lot of mosquitoes in the town and told him th at he’d better not go there. Mark Twain waved his hand and said, “It doesn’t matter. The mosquitoes are no relatives of mine. I don’t think they will come to visit me.”After he arrived at the town, Mark Twain stayed in a small hotel near the station. He went into his room, but when he was just about to have a rest, quite a few mosquitoes flew about him. The waiters felt very sorry about that. “I’m very sorry, Mr. Mark Twain. There are too many mosquitoes in our town.” One of them said to him.Mark Twain, h owever, made a joke, saying to the waiter, “The mosquitoes are very clever. They know my room number. They didn’t come into the wrong room.” What he said made all the people present laugh heartily.But that night Mark Twain slept well. Do you know why? That was because all the waiters in the hotel were driving the mosquitoes away for him during the whole night.21. Why did Mark Twain go to the town? ______.A. To make a speech.B.

Reactions from Americans are mixed. More than half of the people questioned in a survey think e-cigarettes should be controlled by the US Food and Drug Administration，but 47 percent believe the e-cigarettes should be available to the smokers who want to quit.“In the hunt for a safer cigarette，e-cigarettes are becoming a popular choice among those either trying to quit or looking to replace standard tobacco smoke with an alternative that manufacturers claim to be safer，” Zogby International，which conducted the survey，said in a statement.About half of the 4,611 adults who took part in the survey had heard about e-cigarettes，which are battery-powered，or rechargeable cigarettes that vaporize a liquid nicotine solution. They do not produce smoke but a water vapor without smell. Sold mostly on the Internet，e-cigarettes were first made in China.Last year the World Health Organization (WHO) warned against using e-cigarettes，saying there was no evidence to prove they were safe or helped smokers break the habit. The WHO said people who smoke e-cigarettes breathe in a fine fog of nicotine into the lungs.Nearly a third of people questioned in the survey think that e-cigarettes should be allowed in places where smoking is forbidden，because they don’t produce smoke，but 46 percent disagree. Men who were aware of the availability of e-cigarettes were more likely than women to say they should be a choice available to smokers who want to quit. Young people，aged 18－29，and singleswere the groups most open to trying e-cigarettes. Smoking is the single largest cause of preventable death worldwide，according to the WHO.25. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?A．Americans have different opinions about e-cigarettes.B．American smokers ought to try e-cigarettes.C．Every kind of cigarettes should be forbidden in America.D．Most of the Americans don’t like e­cigarettes.26．According to Zogby International，e-cigarettes ________.A．are much safer than common cigarettesB．are popular among people who want to quit smokingC．will take the place of traditional cigarettesD．are produced in a safer way by manufacturers27．What’s the attitude of the WHO towards e­cigarettes?A．Negative. B．Supportive.C．Doubtful. D．Indifferent.28．What can we conclude from the last paragraph?A．People can smoke e-cigarettes in places where smoking is forbidden.B．Most women agree that e-cigarettes should be available to smokers.C．Young adults and singles are the main groups who agree to try e-cigarettes.D．The problem of smoking is becoming worse around the world.CIt’s good to make mistakes, and here is why.First of all, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things. It’s always good to try new things because when you are trying new things you are growing. If you never try anything new, how can you improve? How can you expand? The simple answer is “You can’t”. Look around you. With very few exceptions, either everything you see in your physical world or every single detail of every single thing is the result of someone trying something new．Another good thing about mistakes is this: When you are making mistakes, you are learning. Consider this: Edison failed 10,000 times before he perfected the light bulb. When asked how it felt to fail that many ti mes, he said that he hadn’t failed 10,000 times, but rather had learned 10,000 things that didn’t work．Finally, when you make a mistake you are much closer to success. Why?Because when all is said and done, you will have tried some number of things before you succeeded. Every time you make a mistake you eliminate one of those things and are one step closer.But this all doesn’t mean that you should go ahead without considering the consequences of a mistake. Quite the contrary, when you try something new you have to be willing to set some reasonable limits so that in the event that it doesn’t work out the way you want it to, you will be in a position to try again.We all have limited resources in the form of time and money, so don’t blow them all on one appr oach to a problem. Realize that it probably won’t be perfect the first time and allocate（分配）these resources appropriately so you can learn, make corrections, and try it again. Only by accepting and using your mistakes in this way can you make significant advances in your business and your career.There is an old saying that goes, “If you’re not making mistakes, you’re not trying hard enough.”So go forth and make mistakes. And learn. And grow. And prosper（成功）.29．From the second paragraph, we can conclude that _______．A. mistakes are unnecessary for developmentB. we are afraid of trying new thingsC. mistakes are better than not tryingD. it’s common for people to make mistakes30．The underlined word “eliminate” means _______.A. avoidB. solveC. acceptD. remove31．According to the article, one thing you should pay attention to about making mistakes is_______ .A. avoiding making the same mistakesB. taking consequences into accountC. accepting the punishment willinglyD. trying things out one by one32．What would the writer probably suggest we say to ourselves when we make a mistake?A. Never mind, I can always try again．B. I’d better stay out of trouble．C. Ok! Now I can learn something．D. Look at this mess. Anyone would be upset．DThe old man walked with a cane (拐杖) slowly into the restaurant. His poor jacket, patched (打补丁的) trousers, and worn-out shoes made him stand out from the usual Saturday morning breakfast crowd. Unforgettable were his pale blue eyes that sparkled（闪光）like diamonds, large rosy cheeks, and thin lips that held a steady smile.He walked toward a table by the window. A young waitress watched him and ran over to him, saying, “Here, Sir. Let me give you a hand with that chair.” Without a word, he smiled and nodded a thank you. She pulled the chair away from the table. Supporting him with one arm, she helped him move in front of the chair, and get comfortably seated. Then she pushed the table up close to him, and leaned his cane against the table where he could reach it. In a soft, clear voice he said, “Thank you, Miss.” “You’re welcome, Sir.” She replied. “My name is Mary. I’ll be back in a moment. If you need anything, just wave at me.”After he had finished a hearty meal of pancakes, bacon, and hot lemon tea, Mary brought him the change, helping him up from his chair and out from behind the table. She handed him his cane, and walked with him to the front door. Holding the door open for him, she said, “Come back and see u s, Sir!” He nodded a thank you and said softly with a smile, “You are very kind!”When Mary went to clean his table, she was shocked. Under his plate she found a business card and a note written on the napkin, under which was a $ 100 bill. The note on the napkin read, “Dear Mary, I respect you very much, and you respect yourself, too. It shows by the way you treat others. You have found the secret of happiness. Your kind gestures will shine through those who meet you.”The man she had served was the owner of the restaurant. This was the first time that she, or any of his employees, had seen him in person.33．Mary ran over to the old man because _____.A. the old man was the boss of the restaurantB. she was worried that the old man might cause trouble to the restaurantC. the old man had asked her to wait on himD. she saw the old man had some difficulty moving and taking a seat34．The words the man left on the napkin suggested that _____.A. respecting others means respecting oneselfB. serving others is a respectable jobC.
