For many years, Hawaii has been a magic name to people who like to travel. People on both sides of the Pacific Ocean, in Japan and in America, dream of seeing these beautiful islands in the middle of the ocean. Their dreams always include at least one scene of a sunset over the ocean. In the tropical(热带的) lands, the sun drops, like a ball of golden fire, into the sea, and it droops so quickly that you can almost see it move. The sun leaves behind a glow that lights the skies and shines in the quiet water.
People often have a quiet, peaceful time ---perfect for a leisurely(悠闲的) walk along the water. This scene is not too different from the dramatic(令人神往的) beauty that greeted the first strangers to these islands centuries ago. They were Polynesian people who came from Tahiti in canoes not much bigger than small boats.
They found the beautiful white sand beaches and the waving palm trees, but there were no giant hotels like the ones we see nowadays. The first people came to Hawaii nearly two thousand years ago, but skyscraper hotels were only built in the last 25 years. Now jet planes make it possible to fly to for a weekend from Tokyo. Wherever the people come from, they really want to see the original beauty of Hawaii. They want to see the lovely beaches and the mountain called Diamond Head which is almost hidden by the tall hotels.

Terry was a middle-aged leather trader whose repeated failures in career made him a bad-tempered and disappointed man, often complaining that he had been cheated by others. One day he told his wife he was so disappointed with the city that he had to leave.
So his family moved to another city. It was the evening of a weekend. When Terry and his wife were busily engaged in tidying up their new home, the lights suddenly went out and they were forced to stop work. Terry regretted to have forgotten to bring along candles and had to wait helplessly in a bad mood. Just then he heard light,hesitand(犹豫的)knocks on his door that were clearly heard in the quiet night.
“Who’s it?”he wondered. Terry didn’t know anybody in the new city, and this was the moment he especially hated to be disturbed. He went to the door and opened it impatiently. At the door was a little girl, asking in a shy voice,“Sir, do you have candles? I’m your neighbor.”“NO,”answered Terry rudely. He shut the door.“What a nuisance!”he grumbled(嘟囔)over it with his wife.“No sooner had we settled down than the neighbor came to borrow things. What’ll be the next? How bothering!”
He was angry about it when the door was knocked at again. He opened it and found the same little girl outside. But this time she was holding two candles. She said, “My grandma told me the new neighbor downstairs might need candles. She sent me here to give you these.”Terry was struck by what he saw. When he became fully aware, he said,“Thank you and your grandma. God bless you!”
At that moment he suddenly realized what caused his failure in life. It was his coldness and harshness(刻薄)with other people. The person who had cheated him in life was actually nobody else but himself, for his eyes had been blurred(使模糊)by his cold mind.
63.Terry decided to move to another city because___________.
A.he wanted to earn more money there
B.he found it more challenging to live in a new place
C.he didn’t like the place where he lived
D.he thought he should change his job
64.Terry treated the little girl rudely because he thought_________.
A.the neighbor would often borrow things from him later
B.he had no friends in the new city
C.she was too young to play with candles
D.he was cheated at that time
65.It can be concluded that Terry realized that he used to be_________.
A.cold and harsh                                       B.lazy and negative
C.friendly and kind                                      D.crazy and rude
66.What would be the best title for this passage?

C.Terry’s good neighbor                             D.God bless you

Blogs allow readers to post comments. There were millions of blogs out there, so I   36  expected anyone to read mine,   37  respond. But almost immediately they did. Twelve messages were   38  after my first entry. I went to the library five times that day—each time there were more.
The next morning I couldn’t wait to get up and hurry to the library.   39  I told my story. It gave structure and a purpose to my day.
For so long I’d been unable to   40  in the real world, afraid of rejection or pity or scorn(轻蔑).   41  here it was safe. This   42  with people on the other side of the screen, many on the other side of the world, was   43  me back to life again.
One particularly cold Tuesday I opened my   44  to see, among emails from bloggers   45  how I was surviving the snow, one saying: “New York Times Journalist Trying to Contact You.” Ian Urbina had discovered my blog   46  when researching an article on people living in their   47  in the U.S. exchanged emails and later he called me up. I hadn’t spoken to   48  for months but, as rain streamed down the glass   49 , the words came. I had been living in the car for almost nine months.
The article   50  on the front page. I didn’t know until I opened my computer. There were emails from people around the world. For almost a year on one had known I   51  existed but now here were hundreds wishing me well. They said they were   52  for me.
Now every time I pressed “Check Mail”, there were more messages. I watched the numbers of the visitors counter on my blog   53  by the hundreds. These were people at their computers all over the world. I felt as of I was viewing a miracle unfold(展开).
Over the next week, in libraries and in the car   54  under lamp posts at night, I wrote my papers. I had notepaper spread   55  the dashboard(仪表盘). And every morning in the quiet of the lane, I wrote for my life.

Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all! It speaks   1   than words. According to specialists, our bodies send out more   2   than we realize. In fact, non-verbal communication (非言语交际) makes up about 50% of what we really   3  . And body language is particularly   4   when we attempt to communicate across cultures (文化). Indeed, what is called body language is so   5   a part of us that it’s actually often unnoticed. And misunderstandings occur as a result of it.   6  , different societies treat the   7 between people differently. Northern Europeans usually do not like having   8   contact (接触) even with friends, certainly not with   9 .
People from Latin American countries,   10  , touch each other quite a lot. Therefore, it’s possible that in   11  , it may look like a Latino is   12  a Norwegian all over the room. The Latino, trying to express friendship, will keep moving   13  . The Norwegian, very probably seeing this as pushiness, will keep   14   -which the Latino will in return regard as   15 _ .
Clearly, a great deal is going on when people   16  . And only a part of it is in the words themselves. And when parties are from   17  cultures, there’s a strong possibility of   18  . But whatever the situation, the best   19  is to obey the Golden Rule: treat others as you would like to be   20 _.
