AHalf a year before graduation from college, my son David began to seek a job. Due to the financial crisis, the competition was ever-fierce. My son targeted a company that was located in a coastal city. It was intended to employ only one person among more than twenty candidates, I said to David, “You should not harbor too much hope for fear that you would feel terribly disappointed when you fail.” He said to me, “I am not afraid of disappointment. As long as I try, there will always be hope!”Three young men could enter the final round, which would later decide one person to be employed. Everything seemed to go quite well and David entered the final round in a week.Unexpectedly, the interview was unbelievably simple, during which the interviewer only chatted with them for a while. The interview strategies my son prepared were not useful at all. The interviewer said the company would inform them of the result in 3 days. On the morning of the third day, David received the text from the company that he was not employed. David felt disappointed.In nightfall that day, David suddenly told me excitedly on phone that he had been employed. Greatly surprised, I asked him, “What’s the whole matter?” David told me that he received another text saying that he was employed. David felt very confused about it. Later he found out the first text sent to him was also part of the test in the interview. Three men received the same text this morning and only David’s reply was satisfying to the company. I asked my son, “How did all of you reply?” My son said, “One did not reply. The other said “goodbye” and I said “thank you”.”Only then did I know that my son’s “hope” came in that way. Th at is, when you feel disappointed, do not forget to say “Thank you” to the one who disappoints you. Actually, it is a piece of cake to say “Thank you”.

The secret of Xiaomi’s successCMost people agree that honesty is a good thing. But does Mother Nature agree? Animals can't talk, but can they lie in other ways? Can they lie with their bodies and behavior? Animal experts may not call it lying, but they do agree that many animals, from birds to chimpanzees, behave dishonestly to fool other animals. Why? Dishonesty often helps them survive.Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals. For example, a bird called the plover sometimes pretends to be hurt in order to protect its young. When a predator（猎食动物）gets close to itsnest, the plover leads the predator away from the nest. How? It pretends to have a broken wing. The predator follows the "hurt" adult, leaving the baby birds safe in the nest.Another kind of bird, the scrub jay, buries its food so it always has something to eat. Scrub jays are also thieves. They watch where others bury their food and steal it. But clever scrub jays seem to know when a thief is watching them. So they go back later, unbury the food, and bury it again somewhere else.Birds called cuckoos have found a way to have babies without doing much work. How? They don't make nests. Instead, they get into other birds' nests secretly. Then they lay their eggs and fly away. When the baby birds come out, their adoptive parents feed them.Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky. After a fight, the losing chimp will give its hand to the other. When the winning chimp puts out its hand, too, the chimps are friendly again. But an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winner's hand and start fighting again.Chimps are sneaky in other ways, too. When chimps find food that they love, such as bananas, it is natural for them to cry out. Then other chimps come running. But some clever chimps learn to cry very softly when they find food. That way, other chimps don't hear them, and they don't need to share their food.As is mentioned above, animals behave dishonestly for survival. Is it OK to lie for us human?36.The writer uses the three questions at the beginning of the passage to _________.A. ask the readers to answer the questionsB. draw the readers’ attention to the topicC. seek answers to the questionsD. show he is at a loss about the question.37.Which of the following is not an example of animal’s dishonest behaviors?A.

But the small dot on the world map has since developed into one of the richest nations thanks to its founder and first Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, the father of the state, who passed away on March 23, 2015 at the age of 91.Lee grew up in a Singapore that was part of the British Empire. As a law major who graduated from Cambridge University and the founder of the People’s Action Party, he became Singapore’s first prime minister in 1959 when British agreed to the island’s self-rule.Lee was a leader with vision(远见). He knew that without agriculture and natural resources, Singapore could only find a way out by developing itself into a place perfect for business. So he began with a fewsimple ideas: Singapore needed respect for elders and the law, hard work, and the idea that the needs of society are greater than the individual’s. He united Chinese, Indians and Malays, making English a common language. He fought corruption and even banned chewing gum. That helped change Singapore from a poor city in the 1950s to a world business center with a GDP per-capita of $ 55,000, reported the Financial Times.Lee left the office of prime minister in 1990 but remained a member of parliament. He resigned as “Minister Mentor” in 2011. He was happy with his work: “I have no regrets. I have spent my life, so much of it, building up this country. There’s nothing more that I need to do.”To the world, Lee was one of Asia’s most popular politicians. He was one of the first to spot the potential of China under a former leader Deng Xiaoping and contributed to China’s reform and opening up. “No small number of this and past generations of world leaders have asked for his advice on governances and development,” said US President Obama. “Lee is a visionary and a true giant of history.”41.
