A teacher in New York decided to honor each of her seniors in high school by telling them the difference they each made. She called each student to the front of the class, one at a time. First she told them how the student made a difference to her and the class. Then she presented each of them with a blue ribbon imprinted with gold letters which read, “Who I Am Makes a Difference.”
Afterwards the teacher told the students to do a class project to see what kind of impact recognition would have on a community. She gave each of the students three more ribbons and instructed them to go out and spread this acknowledgement ceremony.
One of the boys in the class went to a junior manager in a nearby company and honored him for helping him with his career planning. He gave him a blue ribbon and put it on his shirt. Then he gave him two extra ribbons, and told him what it was all about.
Later that day the junior manager went in to see his boss, who had been noted, by the way, as being kind of a bad-tempered fellow. He sat his boss down and he told him that he deeply admired him for being a creative genius. The boss seemed very surprised. The junior manager asked him if he would accept the gift of the blue ribbon and give him permission to put it on him. His surprised boss said, “Well, sure.
The junior manager took the blue ribbon and placed it right on his boss’s jacket above his heart. Then he gave him the last extra ribbon, and repeated what the boy had told him.
That night the boss came home to his 14-year-old son and sat him down. He said, “The most incredible thing happened to me today. I was in my office when one of the junior managers came in and told me he admired me and gave me a blue ribbon for being a creative genius. Then he put this blue ribbon that says ‘Who I Am Makes A Difference’ on my jacket. He gave me an extra ribbon and asked me to find somebody else to honor. As I was driving home tonight, I started thinking about whom I would honor with this ribbon and I thought about you. I want to honor you.”
“I’m really busy around all day and when I come home I don’t pay a lot of attention to you and sometimes I scream at you, but somehow tonight, I just wanted to sit here and well, just let you know that you do make a difference to me. You’re a great kid and I love you!”
The startled boy started to sob and sob, and he couldn’t stop crying. He looked up at his father and said through his tears, “I was planning on committing suicide tomorrow, Dad, because I didn’t think you loved me. Now I don’t need to.”
72. What does the blue ribbon in the passage indicate?
A. Recognition of you from others. B. Appreciation for what you’ve done for others’
C. A sign of love and being loved. D. A symbol of respect.
73. Why was the boss surprised at what the junior manager said and did?
A. Because the boss was usually bad-tempered.
B. Because the junior manager was not afraid of his bad temper.
C. Because he didn’t expect his juniors to appreciate him.
D. Because it embarrassed him to wear such a blue ribbon.
74. The change in the boss implies that ____________.
A. positive comments work better than criticism
B. blue ribbons are a good sign of understanding between people
C. he would never be bad-mannered to his employees
D. everybody can make a difference to the world

A good reader is one who can read beyond the lines, seeing ideas implied through the words, and one who can bridge the gap between the obvious and the suggested, thus obtaining much more information. Let's look at the following sentence: JOHN HENDERSON WAS DRIVING HOME LATE LAST NIGHT FROM AN EXHAUSTING BUSINESS TRIP. As you might have realized, this is the opening sentence of a story. It tells the reader whom the story is about--John Henderson, and when the event takes place--late one night. If we read carefully and thoughtfully we can also infer from this sentence that:
1. John Henderson may be a businessman because he has just finished a “business trip”.
2. John Henderson must be very tired because the trip is“exhausting”.
3. John Henderson must be very eager to get home because he is driving “late”at night right after this exhausting（精疲力尽）trip.
Making inferences while reading will always help us achieve a better comprehension. But we should keep in mind that inferences must be made with care and supported by evidence. In order to make reasonable inferences we should:
1. Read and think beyond the printed words.
2. Analyze the information given in the text.
3. Determine the author's reason for his choice of words.
(1)According to the author, a good reader ________.
[ ]
A．can read between the lines
B．should have a large vocabulary
C．knows enough grammar rules
D．must have a good knowledge of the author
(2)From the quoted sentence, you know John Henderson was most likely ________.
[ ]
(3)From the quoted sentence, you know John Henderson had a(an) ________.
[ ]
(4)When the author asks us to make inferences while reading, he intends to say ________.
[ ]
(5)The best topic of the passage is ________.
[ ]
