Just recently I had been wondering if there was much point in doing little acts of kindness． So often they get 36 , and occasionally they come back to bite you!
Then, just last week, after a long travel, I found myself 37 at a bus station． The bus was four hours late! So, I guess I wasn’t in a good 38 ．
That’s when a woman asked me if I had any spare 39 to help her get a bus ticket．
“Oh, sure,” I said sarcastically （挖苦地）． “How much would you like?”
As I spoke, I mentally kicked myself for my 40 and reached into my bag for some money． As I handed her five dollars, I heard low sounds from her stomach because of real 41 ．
I reached back into my bag and brought out a 42 I had bought earlier． I handed it to her with a（n） 43 that I hoped would make up for my earlier tone of voice． Getting a 44 look at her now, I realized she was extremely tired, like she had had several months of 45 days!
As she took the food, a look of 46 washed over her． In return, she tried to give me a Milwaukee bus ticket! I don’t live in Milwaukee and the ticket will probably 47 be used, but I took it．
A few minutes later she came back over, apologized, and told me she was still 48 of five dollars． I took some singles out of my bag and slipped a twenty in there as well． 49 , the voice in my head told me I was being a fool．
Five minutes later she came back again and tried to 50 my twenty． When I said it was for her so she could get something else to 51 , and that I was completely serious and I wasn’t taking it 52 , she started crying and hugged me．
From now on, when I wonder if it is 53 trying to help someone, I will remember that woman． Maybe I am really making a 54 for someone． So, sure, sometimes my efforts might not be noticed, and sometimes they might come back to bite me, but they might actually 55 another human being!

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
Do you know anything about the history of weather? Don’t look at the sky． Don’t look for old weather reports． Looking at the tree rings is more important． Correct weather reports date back only one century, but some trees can provide an exact record of weather even further back．
It is natural that a tree would grow best in a climate with plenty of sunlight and rainfall． It is also expected that little sunlight or rainfall would reduce the growth of a tree． The change from a favorable to an unfavorable climate can be found out by the reading pattern of rings in a tree trunk． To find out the weather of ten years ago, you can count the rings of a tree trunk from the outside to the inside． If the tenth ring is far from the other rings, then it is certain that plenty of sunny and rainy weather occurred． If the rings are close together, then the climate was bad for the tree．
Studying trees is important not only for the history of weather, but also for the history of man． In an area of New Mexico you can find only sand — no trees or people． However, many centuries ago a large population lived there． They left suddenly． Why?
A scientist studied the pattern of the rings of dead trees that had grown there． He made up his mind that the people had to leave because they had cut down all the trees． Trees were necessary to make fires and buildings． So, after the people destroyed the trees, they had to move．
In this example studying tree rings uncovered an exciting fact about the history of man．
56．We can find out the weather of five years ago by counting the rings of a tree trunk ____．
A． from the left to the right B． from the outside to the inside
C． from the inside to the outside D． from the right to the left
57． If the ring was far from the others, we can conclude that the weather of that year was _____．
A． bad B． sunny C． rainy D． favorable
58． By studying the rings of dead trees in an area of New Mexico, the scientist found _______．
A． what the people had to eat B． where the people had to go
C． why the people had to leave D． how the people left
59．The ancient people usually lived where there were plenty of trees mainly because ______．
A． trees were materials for fires and buildings
B． trees could supply them with fruit and food
C． rees could supply them with shades
D． trees provided an exact record of weather
60． By giving the example of an area of New Mexico, the author tries to prove ．
A． that studying trees is important for the history of man
B． trees can’t live in the area without population
C． what the relation is between tree rings and the history of man
D． the history of man is important for the history of trees
B
You wake up in the morning，the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time．Then the telephone rings，you say hello, and the drama starts．The person on the other end has a depressing（令人沮丧的） tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to．You are still in a wonderful mood? Impossible!
Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness．It may not change what you think，but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time．
Life brings ups and downs，but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer．They only feel glad when they make others feel bad．No wonder they can hardly win others’ pity or respect．
When you communicate with positive people，your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted．When the dagger（匕首）of a negative person is put in you．you feel the heavy feeling that all in all，brings you down．
Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people．This could be a co-worker，or relative．In this case，say what needs to be said as little as possible． Sometimes it feels good to let out-your anger back to the negative person，but all this does is to lower you to that same negative level and they won’t feel ashamed of themselves about that．
Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized．The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to（附着）you throughout the rest of your day，which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness．Life is too short to feel negative．Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible．
59． According to the passage, to reduce negative people’s influence on us, we are advised
A． to show our dissatisfaction to negative people
B． to change negative people’s attitude to life
C． to communicate with negative people as little as possible
D． to make negative people feel ashamed of themselves
60． What can we learn about negativity?
A． Its effect can be completely avoided
B． Its effect can last
C． Its effect is smaller than the effect created by a positive person
D． It hardly happens among family members
61． The purpose of the first paragraph is to _____________________________ ．
A． offer an evidence B． introduce a topic
C． describe a daily scene D． make a comparison
62．How can negative people have effect on us?
A． By telling US the nature of life． B． By comparing their attitude to life with ours
C． By influencing our emotion． D． By changing our way of thinking．
63． Some negative people base their happiness on _______________________ ．
A． building up a positive attitude B． other people’s pity for them
C．other people’s respect for them D． making other people unhappy
