Gander’s Furniture Store
Stamford, Connecticut, 09876
Dear Sir,
I am writing about your January bill, which I am returning with this letter. I am not going to pay this bill. Last month I bought a table and four chairs for $65.50. They were sent to me on December 18. That night one leg of the table broke while my wife was putting our dinner on it. It fell on one of the chair, and that broke, too. Our $ 2.50 steak(牛排) landed on the floor, and the dog ate it.
I spoke to the salesmen who had sold me the table and the chairs. He told me to write you a letter. I wrote you on December 20, saying that I was not going to pay for the furniture. On December 21 some men came and took it back to the store.
Please do something about your records. I do not want to receive another bill for the furniture which I returned.
Yours truly
Alberts Robbins

When the famous dancer Fred Astaire was interviewed for a job by a Hollywood producer, the movie “expert” turned him down, saying, “Can’t sing. Can’t act. Dances a little.” Here’s another stupid mistake. When the great scientist Albert Einstein was at school, his teachers considered him rather dull. And a final story, the famous Polish pianist Paderewski was told by a teacher that he’d never be a success as a performer because the middle finger on each hand was too short.
What lessons can be drawn from these three experiences? First, true genius(天才) cannot be suppressed(压抑). For some reason or other it works its way out. Second, early judgments of a person’s abilities may be unfair or just wrong. Third, when there is a real determination to succeed, obstacles fall by the wayside.
The famous motto “ad astra per aspera” can be translated as “To the stars through hardships”. Astaire, Einstein and Paderewski proved their critics wrong.
38. Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?
A. Fred Astaire was a famous dancer.
B. True ability will always make itself known.
C. Some people never get discouraged.
D. Albert Einstein proved his teachers wrong.
39. When Paderewski’s teachers told him he’d never be a success, they were _______.
A. being humorous B. cheerful, though concerned
C. somewhat hesitant D. seriously mistaken
40. “Ad astra per aspera” is used in the passage _______.
A. as a motto for the three men’s lives
B. to show the value of Latin
C. to send the reader to the dictionary
D. to point out that genius is always recognized early

A woman professor was giving a lesson to her students on stress management. As she raised a glass of water, everyone in the class    41   they would be asked the “half-empty or half-full” question.
   42   , with a smile on her face, she asked the students, “How    43   do you think this glass of water weighs?”
Answers called out    44   from 100ml to 300ml.
She quieted the students down and then replied, “It does not matter on the weight. It   45 on how long you hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for an hour, I will have an ache in my right    46  . If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb. In each case, the 47 of the glass of water doesn’t change, but the    48   I hold it, the heavier it becomes. Why?”
Lost in    49  , all the students kept silent and listened to the professor carefully.
“Our    50   and worries in life are like that glass of water. If we    51   our burdens all the time, sooner or later, we will feel exhausted, even    52   to carry on.
  53   you have to do is put all your burdens down, as    54   in the evening as possible. Don’t carry    55   through the evening into the night; by doing this, we can get 56 next morning and are able to move forward.
More    57   than not, life gets terrible when we think too much. And the moment you  58  your burdens, you’ll find yourself feeling so much more relaxed.
So rather than being upset and feeling    59   for yourself, start doing something about it. After all, life is too short to    60   yourself to anything that is not making you happy.
41. A. knew B. agreed C.
