5．A young man and an old man were waiting for a bus．（61）Theysat next to each other．"What's that in your bag？"asked the young man，pointing to a big bag beside the old man．
"Gold．There was nothing but gold，"answered the old man．The young man could not believe his own ears and was （62）ingreat surprise．Then he began to think about （63）howto get the money．The old man was very tired and it seemed that he could hardly keep his eyes open．After a while the old man （64）lay（lie） down on the chair and fell asleep．
The young man took （65）the big bag gently and quietly．But when he was just about to run away，he found a corner of his fur coat was under the old man's body．Several times he tried to pull it out，（66）but in vain（徒劳）．At last he took off his coat，（67）thinking（think） that the gold in the bag must cost far more than his fur coat．
Worried but （68）delighted（delight），the young man ran out of the station as quickly as his legs could carry him，until he reached a place （69）where he thought the old man couldn't find him．He stopped and （70）quickly （quick） opened the bag but he just found a great many of small stones in it．Then he ran back to the station hurriedly only to find that the old man was gone．

4．A scientist turns out to be able to see the future by offering each of some four-year-olds a piece of candy and watching how he or she deals with it．Some children reach eagerly for the treat they see．Some last a few minutes before they give in．But others are determined to wait until the last moment．
By the time the children reach high school，something remarkable has happened．A survey found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular，adventurous，confident and dependable．The children who gave in to emptation early on were more likely to be lonely，easily frustrated and inflexible．Actually，the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotional intelligence which doesn't show up on an IQ test．
The hardware of the brain and the software of the mind have long been scientists'concerns．But brain theory can't explain what we wonder about most，like the question why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would sink a less resistant soul．
Here comes the theory of Daniel Goleman，writer of Emotional Intelligence：when it comes to predicting people's success，brain ability as measured by IQ may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as"character"．
EQ is not the opposite of IQ．What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together； how one's ability to handle stress，for instance，affects the ability to concentrate and put intelligence to use．Among the elements for success，researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20%； the rest depends on everything from social class to luck．
While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously，some few fear EQ invites misuse．

33．The experiment with the four-year-olds makes it clear thatC．
A．the age of 4is a proper time for scientific experiment
B．emotional intelligence won't show up until adolescence
C．the ability of self-control plays a role in personal success
D．candy can be used to measure a person's emotional intelligence
34．The underlined word"upbeat"in Paragraph 4probably meansD．
A．kind B．floating C．excited D．cheerful
35．Why does the author mention the experiment at the beginning of the text？C
A．To amuse both the children and readers．
B．To prove the scientist's wisdom．
C．To introduce the topic of the text．
D．To show us how to do an IQ test．

3．When I first told people I was going to work in Cameroon，the most common reaction was："Why？"The second was："It's in Africa； you'll die!"The third："Where is that？"So let me give some answers．I was offered a job that looked interesting in a part of the world I'd never been to before．I'd also long had an interest in Africa，so I decided it was time to find out the reality．
A small amount of research showed that in more than 40years since gaining independence，Cameroon has been a peaceful country with no wars．Not only are there no wars，but Cameroon is a food exporter to the region．
Now，after three years，I can say that these have been the healthiest years of my life!No malaria or any of the other frightening diseases you read about when Africa is mentioned．The worst thing that ever happened to me was a bout of food poisoning-once．
So what is it like to teach here？Well surprisingly not so different from teaching anywhere else．
Most students come to us with a bit of English in their heads．Cameroon is a bilingual country with French and English as official languages，while there are also close to 200local ethnic languages in a country of 16million people．French is the dominant language，spoken by about 80% of the population．
The local school system is very traditional and somewhat strict．Perhaps not surprisingly when there can be up to 150students in the classroom （of which maybe 30have the books，and there are probably seats for 70）．
Like anywhere else，students appreciate it if you know a bit about their country，and not just Roger Milla （the top scorer of the 1990World Cup，in case you're wondering）．It helps if you know the names of the ten provinces，know who the first president was，or can say a word in a local language．
So in conclusion：Cameroon isn't just football．Not is it war，poverty and disease．It's just life and people，like anywhere else．

29．On hearing the writer's decision，most peopleA．
A．didn't understand him
B．considered it as a joke
C．admired him
D．laughed at him
30．According to the passage，Cameroon isB．
A．a country full of diseases
B．peaceful after liberation
C．a poor country，especially lack of food
D．quite different from others in education
31．What can we infer from the passage？C
A．Food export may lead to many frightening diseases
B．Most students in Cameroon do not need books
C．Cameroon is not as bad as people commonly believed
D．There must be a lot of people suffering from food poisoning．
32．What does the underlined word in the sixth paragraph mean？A
A．leading B．easy C．only D．wonderful．

20．People in the United States honor their parents with two special days：Mother's Day，on the second Sunday in May，and Father's Day，on the third Sunday in June．These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents．They raise their children and educate them to be responsible（有责任感的） citizens．They give love and care．These two days make us think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers．More mothers now work outside the home．More fathers must help with child care．

19．The old man walked with a cane （拐杖） slowly into the restaurant．His poor jacket，patched （打补丁的） trousers，and worn-out shoes made him stand out from the usual Saturday morning breakfast crowd．Unforgettable were his pale blue eyes that sparkled like diamonds，large rosy cheeks，and thin lips that held a steady smile．
He walked toward a table by the window．A young waitress watched him and ran over to him，saying，"Here，Sir．Let me give you a hand with that chair．"
Without a word，he smiled and nodded a thank you．She pulled the chair away from the table．Supporting him with one arm，she helped him move in front of the chair，and get comfortably seated．Then she pushed the table up close to him，and leaned his cane against the table where he could reach it．
In a soft，clear voice he said，"Thank you，Miss．"
"You're welcome，Sir．"She replied．"My name is Mary．I'll be back in a moment．If you need anything，just wave at me．"
After he had finished a hearty meal of pancakes，bacon，and hot lemon tea，Mary brought him the change，helping him up from his chair and out from behind the table．She handed him his cane，and walked with him to the front door．Holding the door open for him，she said，"Come back and see us，Sir!"
He nodded a thank you and said softly with a smile，"You are very kind!"
When Mary went to clean his table，she was shocked．Under his plate she found a business card and a note written on the napkin，under which was a $ 100bill．
The note on the napkin read，"Dear Mary，I respect you very much，and you respect yourself，too．It shows by the way you treat others．You have found the secret of happiness．Your kind gestures will shine through those who meet you．"
