If they had anything good, they wouldnt be going out of busi

31、ness.”“But, its sporting goods. Could be some good deals for the grandkids. And, you like boats and fishing stuff. Ive put up with that photo of your dream- canoe stuck on the bathroom mirror for years now. Maybe youd enjoy just looking around?”“Are you crazy?” His eyes got funny and he said somethi

32、ng like. “This loser store wouldnt carry something like that. And Im sure not going near those sucker crowds.”I squared my chin and marched into the crowded store. Aisles and aisles of sporting equipment, boy toys were strung with huge blaring signs. CLOSING OUT SALEUp to 80% OFF. NO REFUNDS.Up and

33、down the aisles I walked and explored, humming to myself and enjoying the excitement of a sale. All of a sudden, there, at the back of the store, in gleaming silver, full of lifejackets, paddles and fishing stuff, sat the exact canoe of my husbands picture. I gasped and blinked three times. Yup. It

34、was still there. The Supremo Numero-Uno blah, blah. My heart beat wildly. I made my way through the crowds, scrambled over junk in the aisles and nearly fell into the canoe looking for the price tag. There it wasa little tattered ( 破 旧 的 ), with the manufacturers suggested retail price at $6,750 plu

35、s tax crossed out and ahandwritten TO CLEAR $750 AS IS NO RETURNS. Must be a mistake. $6000 off? Salesman. I had to talk to a salesman. I spotted a young fellow with a “Hi. Im Mathew” tag trying to hide out from bargain hunters. I grasped his sleeve. “Mathew. Tell me about this El Supremo canoe. Wha

36、ts wrong with it? Why is it only $750?”“Oh. Theres nothing wrong with it. Its brand new. Were closing the store. Its on clearance like everything else. I think that includes lifejackets, paddles and a bunch of fishing gear, too. Ill go check.”A few minutes later he came back and said, “Im sorry maam

37、. Someone made a mistake on the sale tag. Its supposed to be $4,750 for the whole package. I just talked to my Dad who is running the close-out. He said it was worth more than $8,000 regular price so its still a real good deal.”I felt tears well up in my eyes. “Oh well,” I said sadly. “Of course, it

38、 was too good to be true. This is exactly like my husbands dreamboat. I guess I started to dream myself when I saw that price tag. Hes going to be 62 years old Friday.Had to retire early for his health. Its been hard on just the pension but the stubborn old fool has been saving $10 every week for ye

39、ars to buy one just like this. Just an old mans silly dream, you know. Always said he wanted to spend his retirement out fishing in a canoe,” my voice reduced and I turned and walked away. I was already at the mall door when Mathew caught up with me. “Do you have $750 plus $25 for delivery and a bit

40、 more for tax, maam?” I gasped. “Yes. Yes. Thats about all I have,” I said as I thought quickly about the eye surgery I was saving up for. “Well then, you just have your husband sitting on the front porch on Friday morning around 10 oclock so he can be there when my Dad and I come to unload his new

41、boat. Well even put a bow on it for his birthday.” I started to cry. My old hand shook and I had to squint (眯眼看) as I wrote out my cheque. Mathew swallowed hard.“Maam. Theres something you should know. This store was my Grandpas. He ran it for more than 30 years. He always promised to retire one day

42、. Said he wanted to spend time relaxing and out fishing in a canoe. He ordered this one, custom(定制的), for himself last year but, well, just never took the time off to use it.” He swallowed even harder. “My Grandpa died, sudden-like, just last week. He was only 68 years old. I think hed be mighty hap

43、py that your husband will get this here canoe. My Dad thinks so too. You just have to make sure he uses it a lot, okay? Promise?” I handed Mathew a Kleenex( 舒 洁 纸 巾 ) and we stood there together, quietly lost in our own thoughts for a moment, blowing our noses.“I promise,” I said as I dashed off to

44、look for my dear sweet husband.54. The sporting goods store was going out of business because .A. the owner of the store had just passed awayB. the store was not managed properly by MathewC. the goods there were often mistakenly pricedD. the store often sold goods of poor quality55.

45、, we can find the writers husband .A. had deep prejudice against businessmenB. was an old man with wise commentsC. dreamt of possessing a fishing canoeD. needed an operation on his eyes56.

46、eptical57. Mathews words in the last but one paragraph tell us that .A. its better not to put off keeping the promiseB. its important to be a man of wisdomC. helping others will double your happinessD. the old should retire as early as possibleCAsk any readers who their favorite fictional character

47、in a novel is and youll likely get a detailed explanation about the beloved character that they admire. It might even sound like theyre talking about a person they know.In a study, researchers looked at the brains of a group of people over nine days. Half of the group read the novel Pompeii, and hal

48、f didnt. After examining, researchers found the readers brains showed heightened connectivity in some areas. This is likely because the brain imagines the movement and emotions of the character they read about in the book. Even though the participants were then asked not to read the novel, they kept

49、 this heightened connectivity. We call that a “shadow activity”, almost like a muscle memory. So even after youve finished a book, your brain keeps those benefits for some time afterwards.It has been suggested that people who read a lot of fiction become more empathic (移情的), because fiction is a sim

50、ulation(模拟) of social experiences, in which people practice and improve their interpersonal skills. The people who not only read fiction, but felt a high level of “emotional transportation” while reading - as compared to people who werent taken by the story or who read non-fiction-displayed higher l

51、evels of empathy when tested. Increase of empathy is important for people because empathy is positively related to creativity, performance at work and cooperative behaviors.Besides, reading improves “Theory of Mind”. It is “the ability to understand that others have mental states that are different

52、from ones own.” Of various activities, reading novels has been found to improve this ability, while watching television programs or movies has been found to do just the opposite - a reduced understanding of others and weaker cognitive ( 认 知 的 ) development overall.Maybe we should put more of a prior

53、ity on novel-reading. And many readers believe that reading a novel is far better and more meaningful than watching any movie. As David Kidd of the New School study said, “Fiction is not just a simulator of a social experience; it is a social experience.”58. Which of the statements is true according

54、 to Paragraph 2?A. When they finish a book, the brain connectivity disappears.B. The participants in the study all read the novel Pompeii.C. Reading novels increases connectivity in our brain.D. Reading novels helps enhance our memory greatly.59. Whats the effect of watching TV or movies?A. It disti

55、nguishes your views from those of others.B. It contributes to your cognitive development.C. It reduces your empathy for others a lot.D. It changes your overall mental states.60. What does the underlined word “priority” in the last paragraph mean?A. Preference.B. Authority.C. Exposure.D. Evaluation.6

56、1. What do you think is the best title for the passage?A. Reading fiction VS Watching movieB. Reading fiction makes a full manC. Novel-reading is a “shadow activity”D. Novel-readers share emotionsDAs we all know, the war is an ancient custom which has existed for at least six thousand years. It was

57、always evil and usually foolish, but in the past the human race managed to live with it. Modern skill has changed this. Either man will stop war, or war will stop man. For the present, it is nuclear weapons that cause the greatest danger, but bacteriological(细菌学的) or chemical weapons may, before lon

58、g, offer an even greater threat. Is it possible to persuade mankind to live without war? If we succeeded in stopping war, there would be no danger for us. To do this, we need to persuade mankind to look upon international questions in a new way, not by contests of force, in which the victory goes to

59、 the side which is most skillful in massacre(大屠杀), but by arbitration(仲裁) in accordance withagreed principles of law. It is not easy to change old mental habits, but this is what must be attempted.There are those who say that the adoption of this or that ideology(意识形态) would prevent war. I believe t

60、his to be a complete error. All ideologies are based upon beliefs without proof which are, at least, doubtful, and at worst, totally false. Those people who believe them are willing to go to war in support of them.The movement of world opinion during the past two years has changed dramatically, whic

61、h we can welcome. It has become a common belief that nuclear war must be avoided. Of course, very difficult problems remain in the international world, but the spirit in which they are being approached is a better one than it was some years ago. It has begun to be thought, even by the powerful men w

62、ho decide whether we shall live or die, that agreements should be reached even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory. It has begun to be understood that the important conflict nowadays is not between East and West, but between Man and the Hi-tech bomb.62. The author of the p
