When Jeanne Calment entered the world in 1875, telephones and automobiles still lay in the future. Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso were not yet born. The Eiffel Tower was 14 years from being built. As a teenager, she met Vincent Van Gogh, near her home in Arles, in the south of France. He was “very ugly, ungracious, impolite, sick—I forgive him, they called him loco (精神失常的)”, she recalled. When she died last week at age 122, she was the world’s eldest person. (There are others who claimed to the title, but only Calment had the official documents to prove her age.)

Each February 21, her birthday, she would share the secrets of long life. Some years it was “a sense of humour”, others it was “keeping busy”. “God must have forgotten me,” she once explained. The truth probably was that her mother reportedly lived to be 86 and her father 94.

Her life had its sadness: she outlived her husband, her only daughter and her grandson. According to a friend, she was imperturbable. “If you can’t do anything about it,” she reportedly said, “don’t worry about it.”

In her last years she was nearly blind and deaf, but her health remained good. She ate a few bars of chocolate each week and continued smoking until a few years ago, when she could no longer light her own cigarettes. She never lost her sense of humour. On her 110th birthday, she commented, “I’ve only ever had one wrinkle, and I’m sitting on it. “Her longevity made her famous; her spirit made her eternal (永恒的).

1.Why does the author mention Albert Einstein, Pablo Picasso and the Eiffel Tower?

A. To show that Calment had seen famous people and things.

B. To emphasize that Calment was born a long time ago.

C. To indicate that Calment is just as famous.

D. To admire the knowledge that Calment had.

2.The author believed that Calment’s longevity is mainly due to ______.

A. a sense of humor B. being kept busy

C. belief in God D. good genes

3.What is the meaning of the underlined sentences?

A. She paid much attention to the wrinkle.

B. She felt sad for the wrinkle.

C. She just put the wrinkle aside.

D. She sat down and some one helped her deal with the wrinkle.
17．For my brother and I，mowing（割草） yards during the summer is a good way to earn pocket change．Dad was our salesman．He traded our service to neighbors at a low price they could not refuse．My brother and I got 10peryard．However，Ilaterfoundoutourcompetitorswerecharging 20or more for the same amount of work．
One afternoon we were cutting our neighbor's yard．When I was finishing up，I was tired and sweaty．I pictured the tall glass of icy drink I would have to cool down soon．I was just about to cut off the lawn mower when I saw Dad pointing to one piece．I thought about the poor change I was getting paid for cutting grass so high that it almost broke the mower．I ignored him and kept walking．Dad called me out，"You missed a piece．"
I frowned （皱眉），hoping he would let me slide and go home．He kept pointing．So angry，I went back to cut that piece of grass．I said to myself，"That one piece isn't hurting anyone．Why won't he just let it go？"
But when I became an adult，I understood his message：When you are running a business，the work you do says a great deal about you．If you want to be seen as a businessman with honesty，you must deliver a quality product．That single piece of grass meant the job was not done．
Other neighbors took notice of the good work we did and we soon got more business．We started out with one client（客户），but by the end of the summer we had five．
The lesson my dad taught me stayed with me：If you say you are going to perform a job at a certain time，keep your word．Give your customers the kind of service you would like to receive．It shows how sincere you are and how much pride you take in your work．

14．Not many couples stay married for 50years．Even fewer do so for 75years．It's almost impossible for a couple to be married for 85years．But that's exactly what Henry and Maggie Thurston did．
Henry was born on a farm in Iowa in 1857．At the age of 18he went to Chicago to attend university．There he met Maggie，who had come from Cleveland to study art．She was one year younger．
This was a true case of love at first sight．They got married in 1876，less than six months after they met．In 1877their first son，Jack，was born．By 1885they had five children，including their third son，Lou，who became a well-known writer．From 1900to 1915Henry and Maggie became grandparents thirty-one times．
On February 17th，1961，they celebrated their 85th wedding anniversary．The day they had chosen for their wedding had become Valentine's Day．Over one hundred newsmen came to report on the event．The couple was seen on national TV．Most amazing of all，though，was the fact that over 1，500relatives were also present．The youngest was a three-week-old baby girl．Henry and Maggie were old．He was 104and she was 103．

1．Brother James Kimpton，an Englishman，has been planting trees for a lifetime and doesn't plan on stopping now．The founder of Reaching the Unreached （RTU） has been serving among the poorest and most disadvantaged communities of India for the last 50years．
It's difficult to describe Brother Kimpton's work．He digs wells，builds homes，run schools，dresses wounds，helps the disabled，feeds the hungry，trains the unskilled，and shelters the abandoned．At 27，he was sent on foreign duty to Sri Lanka．For 12year，he taught in the slums（贫民窟）．In 1964when the government ordered all foreigners to leave the country，he caught a ship to India and travelled to the city of Madurai．"The minute I got there I knew I'd come home．"
Brother Kimpton founded an orphanage（孤儿院）in Madurai，a huge organization modeled after Nebraska's Boys Town．But this was only a beginning．The suffering and helplessness he saw in India led him to start RTU．What began as a single，modest medical clinic has today developed into a diverse network of highly efficient programs aimed at comprehensive and sustainable （可持续的）rural development．
There're many wonders at RTU．As an architect，artist，educator，economist，medical worker，James did a lot：over 2000wells have been dug in this area bringing clean，safe water to the villages； over 6000homes have been built and given away to the very poor； daycare centers have been set up that now feed and treat close to 2000poor children every day； over 2000receive free education in the schools he built and runs…
In his last will，Brother Kimpton has requested to be buried at Anbu Illam．Speaking to the audience gathered to celebrate his 50th year of service in Asia，he said，"I'm an Indian by choice．"
He's smiling，but there's something touching in his words．
51．Which of the following is TRUE about James Kimpton？D

18．[1]William Butler Yeats，a most famous Irish writer，was born in Dublin on June 13，1865．His childhood lacked the harmony （和睦） that was typical of a happy family．Later，Yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered"little of childhood but its pain"．In fact，he inherited （继承） excellent taste in art from his family-both his father and his brother were painters．But he finally settled on literature，particularly drama and poetry．
[2]Yeats had strong faith in coming of new artistic movements．He set himself the fresh task in founding an Irish national theatre in the late 1890s．His early theatrical experiments，however，were not received favorably at the beginning． He didn't lose heart，and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama．
[3]Compared with his dramatic works，Yeats's poems attract much admiring notice．The subject matter includes love，nature，history，time and aging．Though Yeats generally relied on very traditional forms，he brought modern sensibility to them．As his literary life progressed，his poetry grew finer and richer，which led him to worldwide recognition．
[4]He had not enjoyed a major public life since winning the Nobel Prize in 1923．Yet，he continued writing almost to the end of his life．______________，he would probably now be valued as a minor （不重要的） poet，for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works between the ages of 50 and 75．After Yeats's Death in 1939，W．H．Auden wrote，among others，the following lines：
        Earth，receive an honored guest：
        William Yeats is laid to rest．
        Let the Irish vessel （船） lie
        Emptied of its poetry．
76．What does the first paragraph mainly tell us？（no more than 9 words ）Brief introduction to his childhood．
77．Explain the underlined sentence in paragraph 2．（ no more than 10 words）His theatrical ideas were not well received at first．
78．What does the underlined word"them"in paragraph 3 refer to？（ no more than 3 words）traditional forms
79．Fill in the blanks in the last paragraph with proper words （no more than 10 words）Had Yeats stopped writing at age 58．
80．What can you learn from Yeats as a writer？（no more than 8 words）To succeed，we need faith，persistence．．
19．When Julio Diaz stepped off the subway after work one night，he was simply planning to go to his favorite local diner for a meal．But when a teenage boy approached him with a knife，Diaz knew the evening was about to take a more dramatic（巨大而突然的） turn．
The young man demanded Diaz's wallet，and Diaz passed it over without objection（异议）．But just as he turned to walk away，Diaz called，"Hey，wait a minute．You forgot something．"
The young man turned around，surprised．
"If you're going to rob people for the rest of the night，you might as well take my coat to keep warm．"
The teenager looked at Diaz in disbelief，and asked why he would do such a thing．Diaz replied，"If you're willing to risk your freedom for a few dollars，I guess you must really need the money．"He said he was heading out for dinner，and that he would be happy to take someone with him．
The young man decided to take Diaz up on his offer．As they were sitting at the table，the manager，dishwashers and waiters all stopped over to say hello to Diaz，and the young man was amazed at his popularity．
"Haven't you been taught that you should be nice to everybody？"Diaz asked him．
"Yeah，but I didn't think people actually behaved that way，"the teenager replied．Thanks to Diaz，he was beginning to see that kindness wasn't so strange，after all．
When the bill came，Diaz told the teen that he'd have to get the check．After all，he still had Diaz's wallet．
But the teenager put the wallet on the table without a moment's thought，and Diaz treated him to dinner．Diaz also gave the would-be robber a﹩20 bill-in exchange for his knife．"I figure，you know，if you treat people right，you can only hope that they treat you right，"Diaz said．
