Part III Reading Comprehension
Passage One
I strongly believe that understanding is more important than love, especially when it comes to parenting and intimate relationships. As a psychologist for more than twenty years I can tell you that I have never had an adult looking back at her childhood and complaining that her parents were too understanding. And similarly, I have met many divorced people who still love each other but yet they never really understood each other.
The painful reality is love is just not enough. I’ll admit that there are people who I love and who I still need to better understand. I hope I will continue my work to understand them. The willingness to understand is very important. It is not always easy,but healthy love is strengthened by the willingness to understand. Love without understanding will wilt like flowers without water.
Our egos are what seem to get in the way of understanding those who we love and care about. Often it is our need to be right that makes what others think and feel so wrong for us. I have certainly been quite guilty of this in some of my relationships.
As I have written repeatedly in my books, empathy , is truly the emotional glue that holds all close relationships together. Empathy allows us to slow down and try to walk in the shoes of those we love. The deeper our empathy, the deeper---the healthier---our love. Not all relationships are meant to be. Yet all relationships that are meant to flourish in a healthy way, must stress understanding just as much, if not more, than love.
61.From the passage, we know that _____.
A.the author complains about her parents’ being too understanding
B.the author has been studying marriage for more than 20 years
C.People divorced mainly because they didn’t love each other
D.Some people divorced because they couldn’t understand each other
62.Why are we unable to understand the others sometimes?
A.Because we are caring the others too much.
B. Because it is quite difficult to understand the others.
C. Because we believe we are always right
D.Because the others have done something wrong
63.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A.Understanding is more important to parenting relationships than to other intimate relationships.
B.Understanding is less important than love as far as marriage is concerned.
C.Understanding is more important than love to some degree.
D.Understanding is more often neglected in parenting relationship.
64.If we are to understand our parents, we should firstly _____.
A.have willingness to do so B.have love for them
C.get into connection with them D.care about them
65.In this passage, the expression “walk in the shoes of” is similar in meaning to ____.

Passage Two
Finally, the Christmas season is over. We can take a long breath, put up our feet, sip from a cup of good tea and relax. The frenzy, starting from Black Friday right after Thanksgiving until Christmas Eve, of gift shopping, buying, wrapping, giving, receiving, opening, returning...is exhaustive and time---consuming, but it takes place every year.
There is considerable difference between the cultures in China and western countries when it comes to gift giving. In China, it is not polite to open a gift in front of the gift giver, and gift is only looked at after the guest has left. Here in America, gift givers always wrap their gifts, large or small, priceless or valueless, carefully and decorate them with colorful ribbons and little pretty paper flowers; and the lucky receiver is expected to open the gift right away in front of the giver, with great eagerness and curiosity, and should always express appreciation with the all time truthful comment,“this is just exactly what I wanted!” Well, as a matter of fact, most people would take their“always wanted” gifts back to the store to exchange for something they really wanted.
Finding a gift for somebody, even a close family member, you will have to know what the person likes and shop for days before you can locate the perfect gift. But , still the person may not like the gift from you. Nowadays, stores would provide two copies of the receipts for anything they sell as a gift, one of which is included in the gift packaged so that the receiver can come back for an exchange. I know, it was unthinkable to cash out gift you get, but, times are different. Another good way to avoid all that shopping hassle is to purchase a gift card from one of the stores and send it to your niece, nephews, or a family member, so that they can get whatever they want or even keep the money.
66.Finding a gift for somebody is a(n) _____.
A.easy job B.tough task C.must-be job D.arranged task
67.It is quite _____ for Chinese people to open the gift in front of the givers.
A.usual B.normal C.abnormal D.unusual
68.Gift giving is the same thing in China and America in that _____.
A.people spend a lot of time preparing a gift
B.People would cash out the gift immediately
C.People are eager to open to get a gift from a friend
D.People are less willing to give gifts.
69.Which of the following is the author’s suggestion?
A.Open a gift immediately in front of the giver.
B.Wrap the gift carefully.
C.Express the appreciation for the gift you receive.
D.Buying a present card to avoid the trouble in shopping
70.The author’s attitude towards gift giving is_____.
A.indifferent B.protesting C.objective D.supportive
Passage Three
They already guide blind and disabled people ;now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia(痴呆).The duties of these “guide dogs for the mind” will include reminding their owners to take medication, as well as encouraging them to eat , drink and sleep at regular intervals.
The dementia dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers in the home that prompt them to perform tasks .These could include delivering a bite-proof bag of medicine with a note inside reminding the patient to take it , or waking them up in the morning.
The idea was developed by design students at the Glasgow School of Art and will now be put into practice by Alzheimer’s Seotland and Dogs for the disabled.
Joyee Gray of Alzheimer’s Scotland said:“People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relative normal life , and dogs help to maintain routine .”
The other advantage of using the pets as companions is that conversation can be increasingly confusing for people with Alzheimer’s ,but dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship . People light up when they can see animals .They don’t need to communicate verbally b
