A. to attract more tourists to the hotel B. to introduce a new oceanarium C. to suggest a good place of interest D. to ask for the public’s help B When the great library of Alexandria (亚历山大图书馆) burned, the story goes, one book was saved. But it was not a valuable book, and a poor man bought it for very little money. The book wasn't very interesting, but between its pages there was something very interesting indeed. It was a thin strip of animal skin on which was written the secret of the “Touchstone (试金石)”! The touchstone was a small pebble that could turn any common metal into pure gold. The writing explained that it was lying among thousands and thousands of other pebbles that looked exactly like it. But the secret was this: The real stone would feel warm, while ordinary pebbles were cold. So the man sold his few belongings, bought some simple supplies, camped on the seashore, and began testing pebbles. He knew that if he picked up ordinary pebbles and threw them down again because they were cold, he might pick up the same pebble hundreds of times. So, when he felt one that was cold, he threw it into the sea. He spent a whole day doing this but none of them was the touchstone. Yet he went on and on this way. Pick up a pebble. Cold—throw it into the sea. Pick up another. Throw it into the sea. The days continued over a long period of time. One day, however, about mid-afternoon, he picked up a pebble and it was warm. He threw it into the sea before he realized what he had done. He had formed such a strong habit of throwing each pebble into the sea that when the one he wanted came along, he still threw it away. So it is with opportunity (机会). Unless we are cautious (小心的，谨慎的), it's easy to fail to recognize an opportunity when it is in hand and it's just as easy to throw it away. 34. The poor man bought the book because _______. A. it was very cheap B. it was of great value C. there was a secret in the book D. he wanted to find the touchstone 35. According to the story, the touchstone_______. A. is a big pebble B. feels cold C. is magic D. is pure gold 36. The man threw pebbles into the sea_______. A. to test how far he could throw B. to practice throwing pebbles C. to avoid picking up the same pebble D. to express his disappointment 37. What message does the story want to express? A. Good habits can lead to success. B. Habits can only hold you back. C. Opportunity prefers slow but strong mind. D. Opportunity only visits the ready and cautious mind. C A thief entered the bedroom of the 30th President of the United States, who met him and helped him run away from punishment. The event happened in the early morning hours in one of the first days when Calvin Coolidge (卡尔文·柯立芝) came into power (执政), late in August, 1923. He and his family were living in the same third-floor suite at the Willard Hotel in Washington that they had lived several years before. The former President’s wife was still living in the White House. Coolidge awoke to see a stranger go through his clothes, remove a wallet and a watch chain. Coolidge spoke, “I wish you wouldn’t take that.” The thief, gaining his voice, said, “Why?” “I don’t mean the watch and chain, only the charm (表坠). Take it near the window and read what is impressed on its back, ”the President said. The thief read, “Presented to Calvin Coolidge.” “Are you President Coolidge?” he asked. The President answered, “Yes, and the House of Representatives (众议院) gave me that watch charm. I’m fond of it. It would do you no good. You want money. Let’s talk this over.” Holding up the wallet, the young man said in a low voice, “I’ll take this and leave everything else.” Coolidge, knowing there was ＄80 in it, persuaded (劝告) the young man to sit down and talk. He told the President he and his college roommate had overspent during their holiday and did not have enough money to pay their hotel bill. Coolidge counted out ＄32 and said it was a loan (借款). He then told the young man, “There is a guard in the corridor (走廊).” The young man nodded and left through the same window as he had entered. 38. What caused the young student to meet the President? A. He knew the President had lots of money. B. He knew the President lived in the suite. C. He wanted to be a rich businessman. D. He wanted to steal some money. 39. Why did Calvin Coolidge live at the Willard Hotel in those days? A. Because the former President was still living in the White House. B. Because the former First Lady hadn’t left the White House. C. Because the First Lady liked to live there. D. Because he himself liked to live there. 40. Coolidge counted out ＄32 ______. A. in order not to be killed by the young student B. in order to be out of danger C. in order to help the young student overcome his difficulty D. because he liked to use the rest money 41. Which of the following might happen afterwards? A. The young student was put into prison. B. The young student repaid the＄32. C. The President told many reporters the young student’s name. D. The President ordered the young man to repay the money. D Scientists have tried to come up with biological explanations for the difference between boys and girls. However, none were believable enough to explain the general picture. As one scientist points out, “There are slight genetic (遗传的) differences between the sexes (性别) at birth. They may affect the subjects boys and girls choose. But the difficulty is that by the time children reach school age, there are so many other effects that it is almost impossible to tell whether girls are worse at science and maths, or whether they’ve been brought up to think of these subjects as boys’ “territory”. Statistics (统计数据) show that in mathematics, at least, girls are equal to boys. A recent report suggests that girls only stop studying mathematics because of social attitudes (态度). One of the reports’ authors says, “While it is socially unacceptable for people not to be able to read and write, it is still acceptable for women to say that they are ‘hopeless’ at maths. Our research shows that, although girls get marks which are as good as the boys’, they have not been encouraged to do so.” The explanation for the difference, which is very clear during the teenage years, goes as far back as early childhood experiences. From their first days in nursery school (幼儿园), girls are not encouraged to work on their own or to complete tasks, although boys are. For example, boys but not girls, are often asked to ‘help’ with repair work. This encouragement leads to a way of learning how to solve problems later on in life. Evidence shows that excellent mathematicians and scientists did not have teachers who provided answers; they had to find out for themselves. A further report on maths teaching shows that teachers see
