A man who knows how to write a personal letter has a very powerful tool. A letter can be enjoyed, read and reread. It can set up a warm conversation ___ two people far apart (远离的); it can keep a ___   (friend) with very little effort.

I will give an example. A few years ago my older brother and I were not getting along. We had been close as children _ had grown apart. Our meetings were not ___ (pleasure); our conversation was filled with arguments and quarrels: and every effort to clear the air seemed to only ___ (deep) our misunderstanding. Then he moved to a small island in the Caribbean and we lost touch. One day he wrote me a letter. He described his island and __ people, told me what he was doing, said how he felt, and encouraged me to write. Rereading the letter, I __ (drive) by its humor(幽默)and clever expressions. These were all qualities for ___ I had once respected my older brother but thought he no longer had them. I had never known he could write so well. And with that one letter we became friends again.

___ might never have occurred to my brother to write me if he had not been in a place where there were no phones. For him, writing was a necessity. It also turned out to be the best way for us to get back in touch. Because we live in ____ age of easy communication(通讯), people often forget that they don’t always have to phone or email. They have a choice. And that is to write.

I had once helped a friend of mine run a watermelon stall. I noticed something interesting. Almost every buyer would lift the melon up to their ear,smartly tap it, apparently trying to listen to something. I wondered what they expected to hear.

Finally I could no longer hold back my curiosity and made bold to ask a customer—an elderly gentleman—about this. Hearing my question,he roared with laughter. Then he replied in a self­mocking(自嘲)tone.“Young lady,I have been doing this for more than fifty years. All I know is that everybody would stare at you as if you were a fool if you just pick up the melon and leave!”

Not long after that,my watermelon stall friend unexpectedly sent me an invitation for her wedding,which really surprised me. I asked her, “How come you are seized by a sudden desire to get married? I don't remember ever hearing you mention that yon've got a boyfriend.” She answered while counting money,“Everyone has to get married anyway,so it is better to get married sooner than later.”

I could think of no word to refute(反驳)her. It seems that everybody is living for everybody else and has forgotten the need of their own heart. It may be safe and save a lot of worries by following others' suit in doing things. The use of We or Us will give one a steady and sure sense of pride. But using the pronoun “I” would often give one a guilty conscience.

I find all these things somewhat funny. We have got used to taking cue from(模仿) others and follow their suit. In turn,we also take it for granted that we should judge the right and wrong of others by our own standard. As a matter of fact,this massive practice is still wrong though we all follow others' suit like this, but we feel at ease and, justified simply because this is the way of us, and so we can have an easy conscience because this has been practiced by so many people.

1.The writer probably feels that it is ________.

A.necessary for the buyer to tap the watermelon

B.foolish of the buyers to buy watermelon without tapping it

C.funny that the buyers will tap the watermelons when buying them

D.wise of the elderly gentleman to tap watermelons before buy them

A.her friend took no account of others's feeling

B.her friend decided to marry just to follow the crowd

C.her friend was a person who has strong personality

D.everybody in the world should marry for  others

3.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A.It may be safe to follow others' suit in doing things.

B.I was surprised to receive my friend's invitation for her wedding.

C.My experience of helping my friend run a watermelon stall was interesting.

D.The use of We or I will give speakers themselves quite different senses.

4.Which word can replace the underlined word“justified”in the last paragraph?

A.Reasonable.       B.Embarrassed.     C.Ashamed.        D.Nervous.

5.In which section of a magazine can you read the passage?

(C)

When I decided to apply for a summer job, I was a freshman. After several attempts(尝试), I got an interview with Dave Hensley, a manager in the games department at Cedar Point Amusement Park. I was a very shy and quiet boy, but I put aside my shy nature for the interview, and was as outgoing(外向的) as I knew how to be. Apparently(明显地)it worked. I was informed (通知) to go to the park the next day. However, when I arrived, Dave told me he was assigning (分派) me to be a guesser. That position required standing all alone, speaking to thousands of people over a microphone. I never dreamed Dave would assign me to that position.

Dave must have sensed my fear as he said, “Don’t worry. I’m sure you’ll do fine.” Then he took me to the Guessing Game location in an area of the park. Along the way, Dave talked to me, trying to improve my confidence. He told me to just relax and be myself, and then the microphone was put into my hand.

My mind was disorderly, but I knew I wanted to work at Cedar Point, and that desire meant I had to make it. After thirty minutes, Dave took the microphone and gave it to another guesser. He turned to me and said, “Well, at least you’re not afraid of the microphone!” Thanks to Dave’s trust and encouragement, I went on to become a very successful guesser. His support in helping me overcome that fear improved my life in more ways than Dave could ever imagine. In that same spirit, I successfully completed my Master’s degree in electrical engineering which I had once wanted to give up.

64. In order to get the job, the author _______.

A. had to have several interviews with Dave Hensley

B. often went to the amusement park at Cedar Point

C. let the manager know he was a very shy and quiet person

D. made the manager believe he was good at dealing with strangers

65. Right after the author heard that his position was a guesser, he was ____.

A. excited       B. afraid     C. happy       D. regretful

66. After reading the whole passage, we can infer that the author _______.

A. didn’t do well in electrical engineering at first

B. wanted to be a guesser all his life

C. could learn new things very quickly

D. wanted to be a person like Dave Hensley

67. By writing about his own experience, the author wants to tell us _______.

A. how to be a successful guesser as a freshman

B. how to be a popular person in a company

C. the importance of trust(信任)and encouragement

D. the importance of having a good manager
