Failing doesn’t make a failure. True failures are those who don’t learn from their    1  .

Smart persons not only learn from their own mistakes—they pay  2 to the mistakes of others, equate error with opportunity, and learn valuable  3 as well, as this story illustrates (说明).

A lion, a fox, and a wild pig went   4  for rabbits together. By the end of the day, they had a large pile of rabbits to   5 .

The lion said to the wild pig, “Pig, you divide the rabbits up among the three of us in a   6  that you think is fair.” The pig divided the rabbits up into three   7   piles, and said to the lion, “There we are. One   8 for each of us. How’s that?” The lion   9  sprang at the wild pig and 10 him.  

Then, the lion threw all the rabbits into one big pile again.

He  11 to the fox. “Well now, Mr. Fox, why don’t you  12 the rabbits between the two of us in a way that you think is fair?”

The fox walked over to the pile of rabbits, took the  13 one for himself, and left the rest in a big pile. “This rabbit is for me, Mr. Lion, and that big pile is for you.” said the fox.

At that point, the lion laughed, “Where did you learn to divide so  14 , Mr. Fox?” And Mr. Fox replied, “The wild pig  15 me.”

   Tt was a village in India. The people were poor . However, they were not unhappy. After all , their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries.

   Then one day, some visitors from the city arrived . They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog’s legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places.

This seemed like money for nothing . There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were  no use to the villagers. All they had to do was catch them . Agreement was reached, and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time ,the people were able to dream of a better future. But the dream didn’t last long.

The change was hardly noticed at first ,but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often ,and ,there seemed to be more insects around lately.

The villagers decided that they couldn’t just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides （杀虫剂）and medicines. Soon there was no money left .

Then the people realized what was happening.Tt was the frog .They hadn’t been useless. They had been doing an important job-eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed , the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.

Now, the people are still poor .But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.

It is football time again．Currently, the qualifying rounds are being played to decide which countries will send teams to the next World Cup．Some Soccer is becoming more and more popular on a worldwide scale and these qualifying legs are causing much excitement．
The game is popular at club level as well．Many fans go every week to support their teams, whether the event is a home or away one, hoping to get a result．They all hope an attacking game, with a lot of goals being scored．Obviously, they do not want to see a boring, defensive match where the players are aimlessly passing the ball to each other．
Sadly, not all the action always takes place on the ground．All too frequently, there is action in the stands, too．Football supporters, most of whom declare their loyalty , by wearing their team colors, in the form of shirts, are not known for their quiet behavior．They are often very noisy, shouting noisy encouragement to their team and singing deafening songs．
There is much rivalry between supporters．Mostly, this is good-natured, but trouble can easily arise．Fans get angry if they feel that a referee has made a wrong decision, perhaps giving one of their team a red or yellow card unfairly, or perhaps failing to notice a foul committed by a member of the other team．
When trouble breaks out in a football crowd, it can be difficult to control．Stadium officials often seat the opposing fans in separate parts of the ground as a precaution against fighting． However, preventing trouble is more difficult outside the ground．In the worst cases, riot （暴乱）police have to be called in．
Unfortunately, there are some fans who enjoy this violent aspect of football．These football hooligans （流氓） really enjoy a running battle with the police, and call up other people to throw stones and bottles at them．They regard football not only as a sport, but as an excuse for trouble makings．Inevitably, their behavior spoils the reputation of the game．
【小题1】The qualifying rounds are played to ______．

A．make the game more excitingB．attract soccer fans at club level

【小题2】What do football fans hope to see?

A．football has a poor reputation

Betty and Harold have been married for years .But one thing still puzzles (困扰) old Harold .How is it that he can leave Betty and her friend Joan sitting on the sofa ,talking ,go out to a ballgame ,come back three and a half hours later ,and they’re still sitting on the sofa ? Talking ?
What in the world ,Harold wonders ,do they have to talk about ?
Betty shrugs .Talk ? We’re friends .
Researching this matter called friendship ,psychologist Lillian Rubin spent two years interviewing more than two hundred women and men .No matter what their age ,their job ,their sex ,the results were completely clear :women have more friendships than men ,and the difference in the content and the quality of those friendships is “marked and unmistakable .”
More than two –thirds of the single men Rubin interviewed could not name a best friend. Those who could were likely to name a woman .Yet three-quarters of the single women had no problem naming a best friend ,and almost always it was a woman .More married men than women named their wife/husband as a best friend ,most trusted person ,or the one they would turn to in time of emotional distress （感情危机）.“Most women ,”says Rubin ,“identified （认定） at least one ,usually more ,trusted friends to whom they could turn in a troubled moment ,and they spoke openly about the importance of these relationships in their lives .”
“In general,”writes Rubin in her new book ,“women’s friendships with each other rest on shared emotions and support ,but men’s relationships are marked by shared activities.” For the most part ,Rubin says ,interactions （交往）between men are emotionally controlled –a good fit with the social requirements of “manly behavior .”
“Even when a man is said to be a best friend ,”Rubin writes ,“the two share little about their innermost feelings .Whereas a woman’s closest female friend might be the first to tell her to leave a failing marriage ,it wasn’t unusual to hear a man say he didn’t know his friend’s marriage was in serious trouble until he appeared one night asking if he could sleep on the sofa .”
【小题1】What old Harold cannot understand or explain is the fact that     .

A．he is treated as an outsider rather than a husband
B．women have so much to share
C．women show little interest in ballgames

A．a male friend B．a female friendC．her parentsD．her husband
【小题3】Which of the following statements is best supported by the last paragraph ?
A．Men keep their innermost feelings to themselves.
B．Women are more serious than men about marriage.
C．Men often take sudden action to end their marriage.
D．Women depend on others in making decisions.
【小题4】The research done by psychologist Rubin centers around________ .

阅读下面短文，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项，并在机读卡上相应番号处将该项涂黑。

People who show confidence really seem to have it made. They seize more rewarding careers, keep good relationships, and just seem to do everything with more styles than the rest of us.

So what is the secret? There isn’t one. Self-confidence is a skill and habit that anyone can learn to develop. And although people who are raised in an encouraging environment with confident role models have a hard start in self-confidence development, we all can learn to become more confident at any age.

Try these simple tips for practicing and increasing your self-confidence levels:

Dare to fail. Anybody who’s out there bravely performing is going to fail repeatedly. If you are not failing, you are not trying. So don’t take failure too hard or too personally. Just learn to deal with it and use its lessons to keep improving.

When in doubt, pretend you know what you are doing. Because, if you are confident of your abilities, by the time you have done it, you will be experienced.

Dress for success. You don’t have to be beautiful to be confident. Make the most of your own unique physical characters and weaken your disadvantages.

Listen to yourself. You are the only person who knows what’s right for you. Don’t put others’ opinions above your own inner voice.

Build a confident vocabulary. Stop putting yourself down and give up continually blaming your tiny weaknesses. Learn to show up your strong points and the world will learn to see and celebrate them with you.

Pass on the praise. Praise others for their virtues and strengths. This practice will not decrease your confidence, but help increase it.

       Fred Michel is one of 7.2 million Americans who moonlight, or hold more than one job.

         Once a week, after his day job as medical director of a mental health center, the 40-year-old psychiatrist(精神病大夫) heads to a part-time job at a treatment center for young people. Twice a month, he travels three hours to another teenage treatment center.

         Last year, 5.4 percent of the American workforce held second jobs, according to the US Labor Department, and that looks set to increase this year.

         Many workers like the safety that moonlighting provides, says Carl Hausamn, the writer of “Moonlighting:148 Great Ways to Make Money on the Side.”

         The information from the US Labor Department shows that 40 percent of US moonlighters in 1997 took a second job to meet household expenses or pay off debts. Others save money or buy some special things.

         People also take second jobs with an eye to the future – wanting to try out a new field or gain experience.

         Michel started moonlighting when medical systems were unstable (不稳定的). He wanted to make sure he wasn’t tied to one system that ended up failing .

         Just as the purposes for moonlighting vary, the moonlighters cross all age and racial groups. And they work in a variety of industries –no longer just service, office and sale jobs.

         “Technology just affects your ability to make money,” Hausman says. “That makes a frequent change in moonlighting.”

         As its name means, moonlighting still occurs mostly at night. And that results in some pressures. Chief among them is time.

         Full-time employers could misunderstand, too. Some companies do not allow after-hour work because they fear it will affect their employees’ 9-to-5 performance.

         “The primary employer is saying, ‘Wait, I’m paying you for the sharp, fresh, energetic you,’” says Tom Gimbel, president and founder of LaSalle Staffing in Chicago. “If you’re burning yourself at both ends, it’s going to show.”

         Still, the good done to the moonlighters can be great. Besides extra income, moonlighters enjoy variety, freedom and chance to do something new. They also may find their part-time jobs strengthen what they do full time.

         Besides, “it’s fun,” Michel says. Not only do this part-time jobs offer a chance to network, stretch his professional skills and make more money, but they also give him the variety he wouldn’t find just in a full-time job.

         “It’s a way of pulling from the spice cabinet” he says, “and offering a little variety throughout the day.”

67．What is the article mainly about ?

A．The ways of moonlighting.             B．The reasons for moonlighting.

C．The problems with moonlighting.        D．The kinds of people who moonlight.

68．The reason why Fred Michel began to moonlight is that ________.

         A．he found it exciting to do a part-time job

         B．he needed to make ends meet with more money

         C．he feared he would lose his present job one day

         D．he felt more and more pressure from his employer

69．Some companies don’t allow their workers to moonlight because they are afraid_________.

         A．their workers can not do extra-hour work for them

         B．their workers will be too tired to try their best at work

         C．their workers will one day turn to some other different jobs

         D．their workers will not get to work and be off work on time

70．The underlined sentence “It’s a way of pulling from the spice cabinet.” in the last paragraph means ________.

         A．moonlighting gets you away from the job you don’t enjoy

         B．moonlighting offers you freedom to make extra money

         C．moonlighting strengthens your professional skills          

         D．moonlighting brings you chances to do something different
