听力原文:(Text 10)?

  We have a big well-equipped library in our school.There is a librarian in charge of it.Students of the school may borrow books from the library but they may not lend them to others without the permission of the librarian.Students may borrow three books at a time.They may keep the books for 2 weeks.If they do not return them by the end of this period,they may be refused permission to borrow any more.?

  There are a number of rules for good behaviour in the library.Students ought to put back the books in their correct places on the shelves.They ought to leave the books carefully and keep them in good condition.Students may not talk or disturb others in the library.They ought to keep quiet when they are passing along outside the library.

One day, when I was working as a psychologist in England,an adolescent boy showed up in my office. It was David. He kept walking up and down restlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher had referred him to me.  "This boy has lost his family," he wrote.  "He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others, and I'm very worried about him. Can you help?”

       I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him? There are problems psychology doesn’t have the answer to, and which no words can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically

       The first two times we met, David didn't say a word. He sat there, only looking up to look at the children's drawings on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon一in complete silence and without looking at me. It's not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.

Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed. took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why did he never look at me?

       "Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with," I thought. "Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering.” Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly.

       "It’s your turn," he said.

       After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times about his biking with some friends, and about his plan to get into university. Now he had really started to live his own life.

       Maybe I gave David something. But I also learned that one一without any words一can reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an ear that listens.

36. When he first met the author, David         .

A. felt a little excited

B. walked energetically

C. looked a little nervous

D. showed up with his teacher

37. As a psychologist, the author         .

A. was ready to listen to David

B. was skeptical about psychology

C. was able to describe David's problem

D. was sure of handling David's problem

38.David enjoyed being with the author because he________.

A.wanted to ask the author for advice

B.need to share sorrow with the author

C.liked the children’s drawings in the office

D.bear the author many times in the chess game

39.What can be inferred about David?

A.He recovered after months of treatment.

B.He liked biking before he lost his family.

C.He went into university soon after starting to talk.

D.He got friends in school before he met the author.

40.What made David change?

A.His teacher’s help.

B.The author’s friendship.

C.His exchange of letters with the author.

D.The  author’s silent communication with  him.

How to improve our life? Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them. They'll say, "This is my destiny(命运).I cannot change it."
Of course not! You don't have to suffer needlessly. Your life depends on you, not on any other external(外部的)factor.
I know a woman who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it. Guess what her lifestyle is? She wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches TV, and then goes to sleep. Next day, the same routine cycle follows.
Huh! Is this what she calls "doing her best"? She believes she has tried her best and just accepts it in her heart that this is the life that has been intended for her and that her luck can only change if God wills it. She hasn't realized that we have to do our share of making the effort to live the life of our dreams.
Remember that you harvest what you sow. You have to get off the sofa, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your hands off the phone(unless it contributes to your success),and get your mind and body to work! Don't expect your luck to change, unless you do something about it. If something goes wrong, don't just regard it as a temporary setback; instead, learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem. It's not enough to think positively; you also have to act positively.
If someone's life is in trouble, do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine? Of course not! You get to do anything you can to save the person. So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to do your best. In other words, don't just stand(or sit)there, do something to improve your life.
【小题1】According to the woman mentioned in Para. 3, her life_________________.

A.doesn't need improvingB.couldn't be improved
C.will be better some dayD.will be worse in the future
【小题2】 What does the author think of the woman's life?
A.PositiveB.PassiveC.Colorful D.Disturbing
【小题3】Which of the following statements is the author's opinion?
A.Your temporary problem is not discouraging.
B.Your luck can be changed by your own efforts.
C.You can only achieve success when God wills it.
D.You should treat yourself in the way you treat friends.
【小题4】In Para. 5, the author emphasized the importance of _______________.
A.positive thinkingB.positive action
C.hope for the bestD.intention to succeed
【小题5】 The text is mainly written to advise you to _________________.
A.understand yourself B.improve your life
C.believe in yourselfD.change your normal way

We've all heard the old saying,“Sticks and stones can break my bones,but words can never hurt me.” Don't you believe it?Words are powerful,and they can hurt—a lot. In fact,if you're not careful,you can even hurt yourself,by using the wrong word in your writing.
Recently a friend sent me a copy of an e-mail she received from the customer service department of her credit card company,after she contacted them with a question about her account. She was happy with their positive response. But as I read the e-mail,one line jumped out at me:“In lieu of good customer service...”
Did they really mean they were offering her a few extra reward points instead of good customer service?I doubt it. More likely,what the customer service department meant to say was,“Because good customer service is important to us...” followed by the details of what they were doing to make sure she remained a happy customer.
So why didn't the writer say that?I can only guess that perhaps the writer liked the phrase “in lieu of”,thought it sounded more interesting than saying “because”,and so used it—without bothering to check the true meaning.
Have you ever done that?Try to impress others with a big word,only to find out you've used the word incorrectly?It's just the opposite effect,isn't it?You may impress people all right,but it's not the impression you were going for.
When you write,remember to choose your words carefully. People may still disagree with what you say,but they won't be able to dismiss you because you made careless mistakes in how you said it.
【小题1】What's the writer's purpose in giving the saying?

A.To amuse the reader.B.To persuade the reader.
C.To support a conclusion.D.To lead to the topic.
【小题2】What does the phrase “in lieu of” most probably mean?
A.Because ofB.In honour ofC.Instead ofD.In favour of
【小题3】According to the writer,the customer service department ______.
A.didn't prefer to use familiar words to attract customers
B.didn't express what they really meant
C.didn't need to offer their customers extra reward points
D.succeeded in impressing their customers
