16.A girl became a volunteer in the activities of Deathbed Care,which meant visiting and taking care of a patient suffering from an incurable disease with days numbered.
The girl was assigned to look after an old man suffering from cancer whose children lived abroad.Their living conditions were not satisfactory while the old man had a lot of savings.She was expected to comfort him and keep up his spirits.
Every Saturday the girl came on time to keep him company,telling him stories.When he was having an intravenous drip (静脉滴注),she would help massage his arms.The doctor found the patient much improved mentally.The old man began to involve himself actively in the medical treatment and he seldom shouted at others.
But something that happened made the doctor uneasy and puzzled.Each time the girl left,the old man would give her some money.The doctor did nothing to interfere (干涉),unwilling to offend the old man.A month later the old man showed evident signs of decline after suffering coma(昏迷) a few times.
When rescued from the latest coma,the old man told the doctor his last wish,"I have deep sympathy for the girl.Will you be kind enough to help her finish her studies?"
But the doctor knew that her family was well-off and she had no difficulty pursuing her studies.Sometimes she even came to the hospital in her father's car.
When the girl came at the weekend after the death of the old man,the doctor told her the bad news.She was very sad and burst into tears.Then she handed $500to the doctor,saying,"The old man had all along thought I came to do the job because of poverty.He gave me money so that I could continue my schooling."Now he got the answer to the puzzle.In the last period of his life,the old man found it a real pleasure to be able to help a girl badly in need.

6.Henry Ford,the famous U.S.inventor and car manufacturer,once said,"The business of America is business.''By this he meant that the U.S.way of life is based on the values of the business world.
    Few would argue with Ford's statement.A brief glimpse at a daily newspaper vividly shows how much people in the United States think about business.For example,nearly every newspaper has a business section,in which the deals and projects,finances and management,stock prices and labor problems of corporations are reported daily.In addition,business news can appear in every other section.Most national news has an important financial aspect to it.Welfare,foreign aid,the federal budget,and the policies of the Federal Reserve Bank are all heavily affected by  business.Moreover,business news appears in some of the unlikeliest places.The world of arts and entertainment is often referred to as"the entertainment industry''or"show business.''
    The positive side of Henry Ford's statement can be seen in the prosperity(繁荣) that business has brought to U.S.1ife.One of the most important reasons why so many people from all over the world come to live in the United States is the dream of a better job.Jobs are produced in abundance because the U.S.economic system is driven by competition.People believe that this system creates more wealth,more jobs,and a materially better way of life.
    The negative side of Henry Ford's statement,however,can be  seen when the word business is taken to mean big business.And the term big business--referring to the biggest companies,is seen in opposition to labor.Throughout U.S.history working-people have had to fight hard for higher wages,better working conditions,and the fight to form unions.Today,many of the old labor disputes(分歧) are over,but there is still some employee anxiety.Downsizing--the laying off of thousands of workers to keep expenses low and profits high--creates feelings of insecurity for many.

7.When I was nine years old,I loved to go fishing with my dad.But the only thing that wasn't very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn't catch anything.I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why.He always answered,"Son,if you want to catch a fish,you have to think like a fish."I remember being even more upset then,because"I'm not a fish!"I didn't know how to think like a fish.Besides,I reasoned,how could what I think influence what a fish does?
As I got a little older,I began to understand what my dad really meant.So,I read some books on fish.And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings.I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature.That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer.Besides,water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade…The more I understood fish,the more I became effective at finding and catching them.
When I grew up and entered the business world,I remember hearing my first boss say,"We all need to think like sales people."But it didn't completely make sense.My dad never once said,"If you want to catch a fish,you need to think like a fisherman."What he said was,"You need to think like a fish."Years later,with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me,I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers.It is not an easy job.I will show you how in the following chapters.

5.A few years ago a literary agent turned me down after he read a couple chapters of my manuscript(稿件).After I received the rejection,I responded to his email with a question."So is it the lack of platform,"I asked him,"or the quality of the writing…or both?"
He answered quickly."To tell you the truth,you don't have a strong enough platform yet,but the bigger issue right now is your voice.Your writing is okay,but your voice needs work."
Staring at that reply on my computer screen,I burst into tears.That was the day I quit writing and gave up my dream to publish my book."It's too hard,too disappointing,"I complained to my husband later that evening.My husband listened carefully,and then he asked me a single question:"Can you imagine your life without writing?"
I didn't even have to think about it."No,"I answered Brad."No,I can't image my life without writing."
"Well then keep at it,"Brad encouraged."Keep writing.Something will come of it."
Not long after,I hired a professional editor to work with me on the manuscript.The editor observed two voices competing on the pages:the personal voice and the instructional voice.The two voices didn't play well together,the editor concluded; switching from one voice to the other was unsettling to the reader.
I wish I could tell you that reworking the manuscript was an inspiring,fulfilling process.But it wasn't.It was hard,slow work.Another entire year passed before the manuscript was ultimately accepted by a different agent.And it was another two years before that agent was able to sell the book to a publisher.
I'm grateful my husband asked me that pointed question the day the agent rejected my manuscript.
And I'm even strangely grateful the agent offered such a searing criticism of my work.Without it,I might have been satisfied with writing that was merely"okay".
33.What was the author's biggest problem with her writing?A
A.The voice in it needed to be improved.
B.There was lack of platform in it.
C.He didn't show his personal voice in it.
D.There was a strong platform in it.
34.Who helped the author improve her writing?B
A.Her husband
B.A professional editor
C.A different agent
D.A famous writer.
35.Why is the author grateful to the literary agent who turned her down?A
A.He made her realize her writing needed improving.
B.He encouraged her to go on writing.
C.He pointed out her potential in writing.
D.He gave practical advice on her writing.
