I suspect that the most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our  36 , and especially if it’s given from the  37  . When people are talking, there’s no need to do anything but  38  them. Just take them   39  . Listen to what they’re saying. Care about it. Most times caring about it is even more important than  40  it.
One of my patients told me that when she  41  to tell her story, people often  42  to tell her that they had once had something just like that happen to her. Subtly her pain became a story about themselves.  43  she stopped talking to most people. It was just too  44  . We connect through listening. When we interrupt what someone is saying to let them know that we understand, we move the  45  of attention to ourselves. But when we listen, they know we care.
I have ever learned to  46  to someone crying by just listening. In the old days I used to reach for the tissues(纸巾)  47   I realized that passing a person a tissue may be just another way to shut them  48  , to take them out of their  49    of sadness and pain. Now I just listen. When they have cried all they need to cry, they find me there  50  them.
This  51  thing has not been that easy to learn. It certainly went against everything I had been  52  since I was very young at school. I thought people listened only because they were too  53   to speak or did not know the answer. A loving silence often has far more  54  to connect than the most well-intentioned  55  .

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
Victor’s hobby was collecting stamps. He had stamps from many countries, like England, Canada and China. On his birthday, can you guess what people gave him? That’s right—stamps.
Victor’s favorite stamps came from France. He had almost every stamp from 1954 to 2004. He only needed one. That was a 1974 special edition*. It was very hard to find.
He looked for it everywhere. He asked his friends and relatives to help him. But nobody could find the stamp. It made Victor very sad.
“Don’t worry. Never give up,” his father said to him. “If you have enough patience, you’ll find it one day.”
“I hope so,” Victor said.
Victor also liked writing. He had a pen friend in France. They wrote to each other every month. Victor’s pen friend, Phillip, usually used new stamps to send letters. Sometimes, his mother gave him stamps to use. Once Phillip’s mother gave him a big, green stamp. It looked old. When Victor received the letter, he was very surprised. On the envelope, he looked carefully at the stamp. It was the 1974 special edition stamp. Victor was so happy. He told his sister, his mother and his father.
“You see,” his father said. “You did find your stamp. So, it’s good to have two things in life. ”
“What are they?” Victor asked.
“Friends and patience.” He answered.
56. It was very difficult for Victor to find a special French stamp of _________.
A. 1954              B. 1974             C. 1994              D. 2004
57. Who owned the special edition stamp at the very beginning?
A. Phillip.  B. Phillip’s mother.  C. Victor. D. Victor’s father.
58. The passage mainly tells us that ________ is（are）important to people.
A. a happy family                          B. a good hobby
C. relatives and friendship                   D. friends and patience
B
When I first got an e-mail account ten years ago, I received communications only from family, friends, and colleagues. Now it seems that every time I check my e-mail，I have an endless series of advertisements and other correspondence that do not interest me at all. If we want e-mail to continue to be useful, we need specific laws that make spamming（发送垃圾邮件）a crime.
If lawmakers do not do something soon to prohibit spam, the problem will certainly get much worse. Computer programs allow spammers to send hundreds of millions of e-mails almost instantly. As more and more advertisers turn to spam to sell their products，individual e-mail boxes are often flooded with spam e-mails. Would people continue to use e-mail if they had to deal with an annoying amount of spam each time?
This problem is troubling individuals and companies as well. Many spam e-mails contain computer viruses that can shut down the entire network of a company. Companies rely on e-mail for their employees to communicate with each other. Spam frequently causes failures in their local communications networks, and their employees are thus unable to communicate effectively. Such a situation results in a loss of productivity and requires companies to repeatedly repair their networks. These computer problems raise production costs of companies, which are, in the end, passed on to the consumer.
For these reasons, I believe that lawmakers need to legislate（立法）against spare. Spammers should be fined, and perhaps sent to prison if they continue to disturb people. E-mail is a tool which helps people all over the world to communicate conveniently, but spam is destroying this convenience.
59. What does the underlined word “correspondence” in the Paragraph l probably mean?
    A. messages    B. ideas    C. connections    D. programs
60. According to the text, what is the major cause of the flooding spam?
    A. Companies rely on e-mail for communications.
    B. More people in the world communicate by e-mail.
    C. Many computer viruses contain spam e-mail.
    D. More advertisers begin to promote sales through spam. 
61. According to Paragraph 3, who is the final victim of spam?
    A. The business.    B. The advertiser.    C. The employee.    D. The consumer.
62. What is the purpose of the text?
    A. To inform.    B. To educate.    C. To persuade.    D. To instruct.
C
Fifty people died, over 11,000 were injured, and 100,000 houses were heavily damaged or destroyed in an earthquake that struck North China's Hebei Province.
The quake, measuring 6. 2 on the Richter scale (里氏6 .2级) , hit the area 220km northwest of Beijing at 11: 50 a. m. on January 10, 1998.
Scientists made a report of the recent quake. They said that the area of northwestern Beijing, the joint of Shanxi and Hebei Provinces and the Inner Mongolia (内蒙古) were most easily attacked by earthquakes measuring 6 to a bit over 7 on the Richter scale.
However, scientists did not see the recent earthquake earlier. Clouds covered a large area in the northern part of North China before the earthquake and experts say that this prevented satellites from correctly watching the temperature at the correct altitude (纬度).
Experts say that in the last ten years, about 305 earthquakes have taken place in China with 9 measuring over 7 on the Richter scale, 60 measuring over 6, and 236 measuring over 5.
Tens of thousands of people died or were injured. Loss(损失) valued over 10 billion yuan.
63. When the earthquake attacked the area, most people there were unlikely（不太可能的）to ____.
A. sleep in bed    B. work in the fields  C. walk in the streets    D. stay at home
64. The report shows that about nine earthquakes in the past ten years are measured over ____ on the Richter scale.
A. 7      B.5       C.9         D.6
65. It can be inferred（推断） from the report that the damage caused by the earthquakes could be much less heavy if ____.
A. all the people stayed outside B. the earthquake happened at midnight
C. the people had been warned earlier  D. the earthquake scale was lower than 6. 2 only
66. Which of the following can be reasonable except ____.
A. We can not s
