3．Many years ago，my dad was diagnosed （诊断） wit a serious heart condition．He was unable to work a steady job．He would be fine for a while，but would then fall suddenly ill and have to be admitted to the hospital．
He wanted to do something to keep himself busy，so he decided to volunteer at the local children's hospital．My dad loved kids．It was the perfect job for him．He ended up working with the seriously ill children．He would talk，play，and do arts with them．
One of his kids was a girl with a rare disease that paralyzed （瘫痪） her from the neck down．She couldn't do anything，and she was very depressed．My dad decided to try to help her．He started visiting her in her room，bringing paints，brushes and paper．He stood the paper up，put the paintbrush in his mouth and began to paint．He didn't use his hands at all．All the while he would tell her，"See，you can do anything you set your mind to．"
At the end of the day，she began to paint using her mouth，and she and my dad became friends．Soon after，the little girl was sent home because the doctors felt there was nothing else they could do for her．My dad also let the children's hospital for a little while because he became ill．Some time later after my dad had recovered and returned to work，in came the little girl who had been paralyzed，but this time she was walking．She ran straight over to my dad and hugged him really tight．She gave him a picture she had done using her hands．At the bottom it read："Thank you for helping me walk．"
My dad would cry every time he told us this story and so would we．He would say sometimes love is more powerful than doctors，and my dad-who died just a few months after the little girl gave him the picture-loved every single child in that hospital．

2．As a teenager in 1972，Bill Gates once said that he would be a millionaire by the time he was 20．Only 15years later he was a billionaire．And by 1992，as head of the Microsoft company，he became the richest man in American with assets （资产） of about US$ 6.3billion．
Gates was born in Seattle，Washington on 28，October 1956．He first started to play with the computer at the age of 13at his school．At that time，computers were very large machines．Opera-tors were required to learn complex computer languages before the machines could be used．Even then，a great deal of time and effort was needed to perform the simplest functions．Before long Gates was an expert at working the school's computer．After his graduation from secondary school，Gates was accepted by the three top universities in the USA---Princeton．Harvard and Yale．He chos-e Harvard and began classes there the next autumn，majoring in maths．But he spent as much timein the computer laboratories as he did in the lecture halls．
By 1975，Gates and a partner，Paul Allen，had developed a software program called BASIC．This was not the first program ever created，but its inventors were the first to decide that people who wanted to use it should pa for it..BASIC was a success because until it came along there had been no efficient way of getting computers to carry out instructions．Although he had not yet completed his degree，Gates left university and went to work full time for the new company he had formed called Microsoft．His next project was the software program that made him famous and very rich．It was called DOS，short for Disk Operating System，and it was bought by IBM in 1980．Today it is the operating system used in more than 14million personal computers around the world．
As chief executive officer of Microsoft，Gates is known as a bright man．To most people，Gates，in spite of his wealth，is humble and ordinary．He spends his money carefully and often eats in fast-food restaurants．

1．He met her at a party．She was outstanding； many guys were after her，but noboy paid any attention to him．After the party，he invited her for coffee．She was surprised，so as not to appear rude，she went along．
As they sat in a nice coffee shop，he was too nervous to say anything and she felt uncomfortable．Suddenly，he asked the waiter，"Could you please give me some salt？I'd like to put it in my coffee．"
They stared at him．He turned red，but when the salt came，he put it in his coffee and drank．Curious，she asked，"Why salt with coffee？"He explained，"When I was a little boy，I lived near the sea．I liked playing on the sea．I could feel it salty，like salty coffee．Now every time I drink it，I think of my childhood and my hometown．I miss it and my parents，who are still there．"
She was deeply moved．A man who can admit that he's homesick must love his home and care about his family．He must be responsible．She talked too，about her faraway hometown，her childhood，her family．That was the start to their love story．
They continued to date．She found that he met all her requirements．He was tolerant，kind，warm and careful．And to think she would have missed the catch if not for the salty coffee!So they married and lived happily together．And every time she made coffee for him，she put in some salt，the way he liked it．
After 40years，he passed away and left her a letter which said：
My dearest，please forgive my life-long lie．Remember the first time we dated？I was so nervous that I asked for salt instead of sugar．It was hard for me to ask for a change，so I just went ahead．I never thought that we would hit it off．Many times，I tried to tell you the truth，but I was afraid that it would ruin everything．
Sweetheart，I don't exactly like salty coffee．But as it mattered so much to you，I've learnt to enjoy it．Having you with me was my greatest happiness．If I could live a second time，I hope we can be together again，even if it means that I have to drink salty coffee for the rest of my life．

13．If you're looking for any sort of career advice，it's likely you've heard a certain suggestion before：Pursue your passion!In this economy，you'll barely make any money no matter what you do，so why not do something you're passionate about？
However，that's not exactly how the world works．Passion is rarely enough to get you through on its own．Finding a project you love is all well and good on a sunny day when you're feeling okay．But on those gray days when you're suffering from the flu or you're otherwise down，passion is rarely enough to get it done．
I know that feeling．At the most basic level，I spend every day writing．I'm passionate about writing and the topics I cover．But today，it's too cold outside．I didn't get enough sleep and all I can think about is crawling into a nice warm bed．Yet，I'm sitting here，typing up a post just for you．How do I keep it up？
There's another route you could go．You could take on anything that pays the bills，then find fun projects you're passionate about on the side．This is exactly the route I took when I was a freelancer （自由职业者） fresh out of college．That approach，as it happens，leads straight to passion burnout．
The reason I'm still planted firmly at my keyboard on a day when I don't have an immediate deadline is not just because I'm passionate about writing．I also have a sense of purpose．Besides following your passion，you also need to define your purpose．I write to help businesses with their content because I know my writing makes a difference for them．
My purpose keeps my passion．My work is something I'll stick to whether or not I feel passionate about writing anything today．
You can find your purpose as well as your passion-and then find a place where both intersect （交叉）．It may be easier to find a day job you can tolerate．But the only way to find something that works for you is to get involved with different groups and to explore different purposes you care about．You don't need an all-consuming cause，but you do need something you care enough about to give up sleeping in on the weekends．Only then will you really be capable of pursuing your passion，and your purpose along with it．

68．Who do you think the passage is written for？B
A．Writers．B．Job hunters．C．Managers．D．Career planners．
69．Which of the following statements will the author most probably agree with？D
A．People can work with passion if they earn a lot of money．
B．People work well only on sunny days or when they are well．
C．People need to find as many jobs as possible to discover their interest．
D．People work hard even though they are not passionate about something．
70．What's the author's attitude toward his job？C
A．Doubtful．B．Unconcerned．C．Determined．D．Challenged．

12．Electric Cars
Where do cars get their energy from？For most cars，the answer is petrol．But some cars use electricity．These cars have special motors that get their power from large batteries．

Most people tend to think of electric cars as a new invention，but they have been around for a long time．They were popular when the technology for petrol engines was not very advanced．Recently，
electric cars have again become popular because people want cars that pollute less．
Electric cars are better than petrol cars in several ways．The biggest benefit is reduced
pollution．In areas where there is a high percentage of electric cars，there is less pollution．But it
is important to understand that electric cars still cause pollution．Remember that the electricity to
power electric cars has to come from somewhere，which is most likely a power station．Unless
these power stations run on solar or wind energy，they are most likely burning coal and oil to make
electricity．The second benefit of electric cars is a reduction in the dependence on foreign oil．
There are several countries，including the United States，which don't want to rely on oil coming
from other countries to power their transportation systems．They want the power to come from
within their country，and since electric cars can run on electricity from coal or nuclear power
stations，there is less of a need to import oil．
Despite the benefits of electric cars，there are some problems with them as well．One
disadvantage is that electric cars are more expensive than petrol cars．This is mostly due to the
high cost of the batteries these cars need．Electric cars run on batteries，just like a mobile phone
does．But unlike a mobile phone，you cannot charge your electric car's battery by plugging it into
a wall．They need to be charged in special places．Now，there is a lack of places where people
can charge the batteries．Another problem is that electric cars cannot travel as far as petrol cars．
Some people are afraid that the battery will run out of electricity （and the car will stop） before
they reach their destination．
Despite these problems，many people，including automobile industry experts，believe that
the percentage of electric cars will increase in the future．

33．What's the main idea of Paragraph 3？C
A．Electric cars make some countries independent．
B．Electric cars cause no pollution to the environment．
C．Electric cars have some advantages over petrol cars．
D．Electric cars need electricity from solar or wind energy．

A．Petrol cars are cheaper than electric cars．
B．Electric cars need special motors to get power．
C．Petrol cars can travel farther than electric cars．
D．Electric cars need special places to get charged．
35．We can infer from the passage that．D
A．electric cars will take the place of petrol cars
B．no one holds hope for electric cars at present
C．electric cars waste more energy than before
D．more and more people will use electric cars
36．The main purpose of the passage is to．C
A．argue and prove B．attract and discuss
C．inform and explain D．advertise and conclude．
