  Vincent Van Gogh is often remembered as the painter who cut off his ear in a fit of passion.He was a lonely man who often   1   without food in order to buy paints, a man with few friends and a   2   temper.Van Gogh’s strong emotions not only   3   his life, but his paintings.Many of Van Gogh’s paintings were   4   by warm, yellow sunlight because he loved how it could   5   the world in different ways.His painting Sunflowers for example, is   6   yellows and browns.These colors give the painting a   7   of warmth.However, the sunflowers are   8   dead and dying.

  The result is a painting that   9   the warmth of life that Van Gogh loved with the feelings of   10   that were all around him.It is a painting that is warm, beautiful and sad, all at the same time.

  Van Gogh’s most famous painting, The Starry Night,   11   this mixture of joy and sadness one step   12  .It is a landscape full of deep   13   and shadows which showed the sadness Van Gogh was feeling as he was painting,   14   what he was actually seeing.

  This is why Van Gogh’s   15   in his painting look more imagined than real.The stars and moon in The Starry Night are   16   bright, their light swirling above the darkening hills.A tree that looks like black fire cuts through the   17   of the night, interrupting its beauty.

  Because of his wild emotions, Van Gogh was not   18   during his life.He sold only one painting.However, people today who stand in front of Sunflowers or The Starry Night can   19   the same joy and sadness Van Gogh once did,   20   he painted those deep blues and sunny yellows.

It is universally known that friendship is one of the permanent themes in the literature of all languages. Friends are people who willingly and readily help us when we are in trouble, and show    36   for us when we are in misery. This is   37   human beings were born to need the warmth and laughter of friends. Some of us like    38   friends, while others different friends. Personally,I prefer both.

      It goes without saying that having similar friends has many    39   , We can feel a renewed sense of    40   when we have a group of old friends who would    41    our sufferings and happiness.    42   ,  old friends always  know  how to   43   mutual trust(互信)and how to avoid    44    conflicts. I always feel    45    when I meet an old friend after a long   46  . Immediately, hearty laughter    47    the atmosphere.

Nevertheless I believe that a mixture of friends is    48   advantageous. One can ___49___ various sorts of friends in three aspects. First, frequent    50   with different friends broadens my world   51    .Just as various kinds of nutriments keep you healthy, making a   52   of friends keeps you lively. Secondly , I have found that the   53   friends cannot only    54   new adventures but alse show me new   55   to success in life. Thirdly, they can help me with whatever difficulties I encounter in life.

To conclude, I prefer to have both types of friends and as many as possible. Of course, I will not forget friends wisely.

A businessman was on a business trip to Tokyo(东京). One day he went to buy some gifts for his employees (雇员) back in his country. He entered a supermarket. A lady smiled and welcomed him. He was very touched, and felt good .Because he was not able to    1    the warmth of her smile, he was watching her as he was    2  . She was giving the same    3   to all the people who walked into the supermarket.
The businessman started thinking if she hated doing the same thing. So he asked, “My dear lady, are you    4   of doing this job?” The lady smiled and said, “No, sir, I have    5   here for the last 10 years and I love my job.” The businessman was surprised and asked, “Why have you stayed here for ten years, and why do you like your job   6    much?” The lady said, “Because I am doing something good for my    7  .” The businessman found this interesting. He asked, “Why?” The lady said, “As most of our customers are    8  , they spend foreign currency(货币) here. So our country has a lot of money and becomes richer. People who are happy with our service will __9___ more often and spend more money in our country.”
Surprised by her    10  , the businessman thanked her. After returning to his own country he worked hard to introduce the same attitude (态度) to his workers, and today his company is one of the best companies in the world.

The sun is shining when I get on No. 151 bus. We passengers sit jammed together in heavy clothes. No one speaks. That’s one of the unwritten rules of Chicago commuting. Although we see the same faces every day, we prefer to hide behind our newspapers. The phenomenon is striking: people who sit so close together are using those thin sheets of newsprint to keep their distance.
As the bus approaches the Magnificent Mile, a voice suddenly rings out: “Attention! Attention!” Papers rattle (发出细小声). Necks crane (伸长). “This is your driver speaking.”
We look at the back of the driver’s head. His voice has authority.
“All of you put your papers down.”
The papers come down, an inch at a time. The driver waits. The papers are folded and placed on our laps.
“Now, turn and face the person next to you. Go ahead.”
Amazingly, we all do it. Still, no one smiles.
I face an older woman, her head wrapped tightly in a red scarf. I see her nearly every day. Our eyes meet. We wait, unblinking, for the next order from the driver.
“Now, repeat after me…” It is a command, delivered in the tones of a drill sergeant (操练军士). “Good morning, neighbor!”
Our voices are weak and timid. For many of us, these are the first words we have spoken today. But we say them at the same time, like schoolchildren, to the strangers beside us.
We smile and can’t help it. We have said it; the barrier has been broken. Good morning, neighbor. It is not so hard after all. Some of us repeat it. Others shake hands. Many laugh.
The bus driver says nothing more. He doesn’t need to. Not a single newspaper goes back up. I hear laughter, a warm sound I have never heard before on bus No. 151. This day is starting off better than most.
【小题1】On hearing the sudden utterance of “Attention!”, the passengers ___________.

A.stopped reading and put down their newspapers immediately
B.sat still without response
C.looked up from the newspapers to see who was speaking
D.were frightened
【小题2】The underlined word “commuting” in Paragraph 1 most probably means ___________.
A.long-distance ride

A.The passengers on the crowded bus were so absorbed in reading their newspapers that no one spoke.
B.When the bus driver said nothing more, the passengers picked up and read their newspapers again.
C.The passengers didn’t follow the driver’s instruction at first.
D.The passengers were physically close together but mentally they kept each other at a terrible distance.
