Dear Laura,

I just heard you tell an old story of gift giving and unselfish love in your program. You doubted that such unselfish love would happen in today’s world. Well, I’m here to give you 36 .

I wanted to do something very 37 for my fifteen – year – old son, who has always been the perfect child. He 38 all summer to earn enough money to buy a used motorcycle. Then, he spent hours and hours on it 39 it looked almost new. I was so 40 of him that I bought him the shiniest helmet and a riding outfit.

I could 41 wait for him to open up his gift. In fact, I barely slept the night before. Upon awakening. I went to the kitchen to 42 the coffee, tea, and morning goodies. In the living room was a beautiful keyboard with a 43 : “To my wonderful mother, all my love, your son.”

I was so 44 . It had been a long – standing joke in our family that I wanted a piano so that I could 45 lessons. “L earn to play the piano, and I’ll get you one” was my husband’s 46 .

I stood there shocked, crying a river, asking myself how my son could 47 this expensive gift.

Of course, the 48 awoke, and my son was thrilled（激动的）with my reaction. Many kisses were 49 , and I immediately wanted him to 50 my gift.

As he saw the helmet and outfit, the look on his face was not 51 what I was expecting. Then I 52 that he had sold the motorcycle to get me the keyboard.

Of course I was the proudest mother 53 on that day, and my feet never hit the ground for a month.

So I wanted you to know, that kind of love still 54 and lives even in the ever–changing world of me, me, me!

I thought you’d love to 55 this story.

Yours,

Hilary

P.S. The next day, my husband and I bought him a new “used” already shiny motorcycle.

Good tool design is important in the prevention of overuse injuries. Well – designed tools and equipment will require less force to operate them and prevent awkward（别扭的）hand positions. They will allow the worker to keep the elbows（肘）next to the body to prevent damage to the shoulder and arm.

Overuse injuries can therefore be prevented or reduced if the employer provides, and workers use:

●power tools rather than having to use muscle（肌肉）power

●tools with specially designed handles that allow the wrist（手腕）to keep straight

(See Figure 1). This means that hands and wrists are kept in the same position as they would be if they were hanging relaxed at a person’s side

Figure l. Bend the tool, not the wrist

●tools with handles that can be held comfortably by the whole hand. This means having a selection of sizes – remember that tools that provide a comfortable firm hold for a person with a very large hand may be awkward for someone with a very small hand. This is a particularly important consideration for women who may use tools originally designed for men.

●tools that do not press fingers (or flesh) between the handles, and whose handles do not have sharp edges or a small surface area.

60．What is the best title for the passage?

A．Good Tool Design for Women.

B．Importance of Good Tool Design.

C．Tool Design and Prevention of Injuries.

D．Overuse of Tools and Worker Protection.

61．Which of the following describes a well-designed tool?

A．It’s kept close to the body. B．It fully uses muscle power.

C．It makes users feel relaxed D．It’s operated with less force.

62．What is Figure 1 used to show?

A．The effective use of the tool.

B．The way of operating the tool.

C．The proper design of the handle.

D．The purpose of bending the wrist.

63．In choosing tools for women, _________ of the handle is the most important.

A．the size B．the edge C．the shape D．the position

Language as a System of Symbols

Of all systems of symbols(符号), language is the most highly developed. It has been pointed out that human beings, by agreement, can make anything stand for anything. Human beings have agreed, in the course of centuries of mutual(相互的) dependency, to let the various noises that they can produce with their lungs, throats, tongues, teeth, and lips systematically stand for certain happenings in their nervous systems. We call that system of agreements language.

There is no necessary connection between the symbol and that which it stands for. Just as social positions can be symbolized by feathers worn on the head, by gold on the watch chain, or by a thousand other things according to the culture we live in, so the fact of being hungry can be symbolized by a thousand different noises according to the culture we live in.

However obvious these facts may appear at first glance, they are actually not so obvious as they seem except when we take special pains to think about the subject. Symbols and the things they stand for are independent of each other, yet we all have a way of feeling as if, and sometimes acting as if, there were necessary connections. For example, there are people who feel that foreign languages are unreasonable by nature: foreigners have such funny names for things, and why can’t they call things by their right names? This feeling exhibits itself most strongly in those English and American tourists who seem to believe that they can make the natives of any country understand English if they shout loud enough. Like the little boy who is reported to have said: “Pigs are called pigs because they are such dirty animals,” they feel the symbol is inherently(内在地) connected in some way with the things symbolized.

69．Language is a highly developed system of symbols because human beings _________.

A．have made use of language for centuries

B．use our nervous systems to support language

C．have made various noises stand for any events

D．can make anything stand for anything by agreement

70．What can we conclude from Paragraph 2?

A．Different noise may mean different things.

B．Our culture determines what a symbol stands for.

C．The language we use symbolizes our social positions.

D．Our social positions determine the way we are dressed.

71．In Paragraph 3, “take special pains” probably means “________”.

A．try very hard B．take our time

C．are very unhappy D．feel especially painful

72．The example of the little boy is used to show that ___________.

A．adults often learn from their young

B．“pig” is a dirty word because pigs are dirty

C．words are not connected with the things they stand for

D．people sometimes have wrong ideas about how language works
