18．The young boy saw me，or rather，he saw the car and quickly ran up to me，eager to sell his bunches of bananas and bags of peanuts．Though he appeared to be about twelve，he seemed to have already known the bitterness of life．"Bananas 300naira．Peanuts 200naira．"He said in a low voice．I bargained him down to 200total for the fruit and nuts．When he agreed，I handed him a 500naira bill．He didn't have change，so I told him not to worry．He said thanks and smiled a row of perfect teeth．
When，two weeks later，I saw the boy again，I was more aware of my position in a society where it's not that uncommon to see a little boy who should be in school standing on the corner selling fruit in the burning sun．My parents had raised me to be aware of the advantage we had been afforded and the responsibility it brought to us．I pulled over and rolled down my window．He had a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts ready．I waved them away．"What's up？"I asked him．"I …I don't have money to buy books for school．"I reached into my pocket and handed him two fresh 500naira bills．"Will this help？"I asked．He looked around nervously before taking the money．One thousand naira was a lot of money to someone whose family probably made about 5，000naira or less each year．"Thank you，sir，"he said．"Thank you very much!"
When driving home，I wondered if my little friend actually used the money for schoolbooks．What if he's a swindler？And then I wondered why I did it．Did I do it to make myself feel better？Was I using him？Later，I realized that I didn't know his name or the least bit about him，nor did I think to ask．
Over the next six months，I was busy working in a news agency in northern Nigeria．Sometime after I returned，I went out for a drive．When I was about to pull over，the boy suddenly appeared by my window with a big smile ready on his face．
"Oh，gosh!Long time．"
"Are you in school now？"I asked．He nodded．"That's good，"I said．A silence fell as we looked at each other，and then I realized what he wanted．"Here，"I held out a 500naira bill．"Take this．"He shook his head and stepped back as if hurt．"What's wrong？"I asked．"It's a gift．"He shook his head again and brought his hand from behind his back．His face shone with sweat．He dropped a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts in the front seat before he said，"I've been waiting to give these to you．"

17．Men have always believed that they are smarter than women．Now，a study has found that while this is certainly true，men also have to deal with the fact that they are also more stupid than the fairer sex．
In the study，scientists measured the IQ of 2500brothers and sisters and they found an uneven number of men not only in the top two percent，but also in the bottom two percent．
The study's participants were tested on science，maths，English and mechanical abilities．
Though there were twice as many men as women in the smartest group，there were also twice as many men among the bottom．
The aggregate（總數(shù)）scores of men and women were similar．
One of the study's authors，psychology professor Timothy Bates，said that the phenomenon may be because men have always been expected to be high achievers and women have been restricted to spend more time taking care of their homes．
"The female developmental program may be tilted more towards ensuring survival and the safety of the middle ground．，"the Daily Mail quoted Professor Bates，of Edinburgh University，as saying．
The research tallies with past results that men were more likely than women to receive first class University degrees or thirds and women secured the seconds．
It has been said that men are more ready to take risk when it comes to academics．Women have always found to be steadier in their learning．
A past study has shown that women are securing more firsts and seconds，while men are continuing to receive more thirds．
The argument for the change is that the increase of coursework at the cost of exams favors women's steady approach．

61．The purpose of the passage is to tell us thatC．
A．man are smarter then women
B．man are more stupid the women
C．a(chǎn) new fact about the IQ of men and women has been found
D．men are more likely to receive first class university degrees
62．According to Timothy Bates，less women are in the smartest group becauseB．
A．they are born stupid
B．they have to spend more time to tale care of their homes than men
C．they don't like to take risk
D．they are not expected to be high achievers
63．The underlined word tallies with in the eighth paragraph meansA．
A．a(chǎn)gree with      B．deal with     C．go against     D．go with
64．It can be inferred from the passage thatD．
A．Women are steadier in their learning．
B．men are more ready to take risk in everything
C．women are securing more firsts and seconds
D．women are doing much better in academy
65．Which of the following questions has NOT been discussed in the passage？D．
A．Why are men smarter than women？
B．Why are men more stupid than women？
C．How does the result go along with the past research？
D．How can we help the men in the bottom？

Billie cleaned floors and did other jobs for the theater so that she could listen to the records．It was there that young Billie first heard the records of some famous black American blues artists of the 1920s．She heard Bessie Smith sing the blues．And she heard Louis Armstrong play the horn．Both musicians had a great influence （影響） on her．
Billie Holiday once said，"I do not think I'm singing．I feel like I am playing a horn．What comes out is what I feel．I hate straight singing．I have to change a tune to my own way of doing it．That is all I know．"

13．At just six years old，Joey Kilpatrick is Australia's unofficial hide-and-seek （捉迷藏） champion after he hid in a bedroom cupboard for eight hours while playing his favorite game，causing a big rescue operation （救援行動(dòng)）．
The determined little boy's disappearing led to a careful search，including nine police officers，five State Emergency Service volunteers，tracker dogs and almost all of the people of the town of Goombungee．
His mother，Chris，says she called the police when Joey disappeared one afternoon after telling his older brother，Lachlan，14，that he was off to play hide-and-seek．
"I called the two boys for dinner，"Chris says．"After about 20minutes I started to worry，I was shouting to Joey，‘0K，we can't find you，time to come out!'"
But there was no sign of her little boy．Within minutes of Chris calling the police，the policemen started one of the biggest ground searches in the town's history．
"I was really frightened．I rang my husband，Kris，who works out of town，and he immediately hit the road，calling me every 10minutes．"Chris recalls．"They searched the house from top to bottom．Everyone was out looking for him．When a neighbor asked if I'd checked the water tank，that's when reality hit．I was afraid．"
After hours of searching the town，confused （困惑的） police decided to search the house one more time．
"I just sat there waiting．"Chris says，"Then a strange feeling came over me，and I rushed into the bedroom and put my hand on a pile of blankets in the cupboard．As I pulled them out，there he was-asleep and completely not realizing what was going on!I've never held him in my arms so hard．"
Senior officer，Chris Brameld，from Goombungee police，says he is glad that Joey's game had a happy ending："When we realized he was safe，we agreed that it didn't get much better than that!"
And young Joey promises that next time he won't be so intent （專注于） on finding the best hiding place．"I want to say sorry to the policemen and to Mummy for scaring them．"he says，"I promise next time I'll hide where they can find me and I won't fall asleep!"

11．Sadness is unpleasant，and in a society where personal happiness is prized above all else，there is little tolerance for falling in despair．Especially now we've got drugs for getting rid of sad feelings-whether it's after losing a job，the break-up of a relationship or the death of a loved one．So it's no surprise that more and more people are taking them．
But is this really such a good idea？A growing number of voices from the world of mental health research are saying it isn't．They fear that the increasing tendency to treat normal sadness as a disease is playing fast and loose．Sadness，they argue，serves a useful purpose-and if we lose it，we lose out．Yet many psychiatrists insist not．Sadness has a nasty habit of turning into depression they warn．Even when people are sad for good reason，they should take drugs to make themselves feel better．
So who is right？Is sadness something we cannot live without or something horrible never to touch？
There are lots of ideas about why feeling sad should become part of human life．It may be a kind of self-protection，as other primates （靈長(zhǎng)類） also show signs of sadness．A losing monkey that doesn't show sadness after it loses a fight may be seen as continuing to challenge the winning monkey-and that could result in death．
In humans sadness has a further function：we may display sadness as a form of communication．By acting sad，we tell other community members that we need support．
Then there is the idea that creativity is connected to dark moods．There are plenty of great artists，writers and musicians who have suffered from depression or disorder．Scientists found that people with signs of depression performed better at a creative task，and negative moods make people think deeply over the unhappy experience，which allows creative processes to come to the front．There is also evidence that too much happiness can be bad for your career．A doctor found that people who scored 8 out of 10 on a happiness test were more successful in income and education than 9s or 10s．The happiest people lose their willingness to make changes to their lives that may benefit them．
53．The underlined word"this"refers toA．
A．taking medicine                                  
B．falling in despair    
C．losing a job                                       
D．feeling sad

A．a(chǎn) good thing for people's health         
B．something horrible never to touch

D．a(chǎn)lways to be treated as depression
55．Some animals show their sadness in order toB．
A．cheat their enemy                      
B．protect themselves 
C．comfort the loser                      
D．challenge the winner
56．We can infer from the last paragraph thatB．
A．people with great creativity tend to be happier   
B．unhappy experiences contribute to a greater career
C．too much happiness can be bad for your career
D．the happiest people are the most successful ones．

10．What Is a Boy？
    Between the innocence of babyhood and the seriousness of manhood we find a delightful creature called a"boy"．Boys come in different sizes，weights，and colors，but all boys have the same belief：to enjoy every second of every minute of every hour of every day and to fill the air with noise until the adult males pack them off to bed at night．
Boys are found everywhere-on top of，under，inside of，climbing on，swinging from，running around，or jumping to． Mothers spoil them，little girls hate them，older sisters and brothers love them，and God protects them． A boy is TRUTH with dirt on its face，BEAUTY with a cut on its finger，WISDOM with chocolate in its hair，and the HOPE of the future with a snake in its pocket．
When you are busy，a boy is a trouble-maker and a noise． When you want him to make a good impression，his brain turns to jelly or else he becomes a wild creature bent on destroying the world and himself with it．
A boy is a mixture-he has the stomach of a horse，the digestion of stones and sand，the energy of an atomic bomb，the curiosity of a cat，the imagination of a superman，the shyness of a sweet girl，the brave nature of a bull，the violence of a firecracker，but when you ask him to make something，he has five thumbs on each hand．
He likes ice cream，knives，saws，Christmas，comic books，woods，water （in its natural habitat），large animals，Dad，trains，Saturday mornings，and fire engines． He is not much for Sunday schools，company，schools，books without pictures，music lessons，neckties，barbers，girls，overcoats，adults，or bedtime．
Nobody else is so early to rise，or so late to supper． Nobody else gets so much fun out of trees，dogs，and breezes． Nobody else can put into one pocket a rusty knife，a half eaten apple，a three-feet rope，six cents and some unknown things．
A boy is a magical creature-he is your headache but when you come home at night with only destroyed pieces of your hopes and dreams，he can mend them like new with two magic words，"Hi，Dad!"
