A woman was in a hurry to go to the airport. She told the cab driver to drive quickly. She was so absorbed in her own thoughts that she was not aware they were going by a different route.
Suddenly, a man got inside the cab. He took her handbag where she had placed her visa, passport, and all her money for the trip.
The driver, who was in cahoots with the robber, left her in the middle of that dark street. She cursed the world for being so mean to her, and thought how unlucky she was in that situation.
That very same night, she heard some shocking news．Tears flowed down her face．Flight 230,which was the plane that she was supposed to have boarded, had crashed．If she had not lost her precious belongings, she could have lost something far more important—her life．
Sometimes bad things really happen．We lose money, fail our exams, or are rejected by others．There are times when nothing seems to go our way．
So what should we do about it? Should we be disappointed? The answer is a resounding “No!" We must get rid of all these frustrations and start all over again in the consistent faith that we will get what we deserve．
Don't waste your time and energy on things that can't be changed．Continuous worrying will only affect your health and you'll be doing much more damage than what was previously done．
What if it was the other way round? What if we never ran out of good luck?
There was a man who won the lottery．He thought he was the luckiest person in the world．He became greedy and wasted all his money on everything he could get his hands on．
One day, he made it to the front page of the newspaper again．But this time, it was a different story．He had been killed because of his riches．
If you attain good luck, you can never be too secure about it．Hope for protection and guidance．Life is so unpredictable．You never know what will happen next．
Live one day at a time．We sometimes subject ourselves to unnecessary emotional trouble．We ask ourselves: "What if I don't get this done in time?" or "What if my family leave me and I've got no one else to turn to?"
Live for the moment．Do what must be done for the present and the future will turn out just fine. Believe me. And believe in yourself．As Captain Planet always says, “The power is yours!”
41．The underlined phrase "in cahoots with" in Paragraph 3 probably means "____"．
A．was forced by B．was fighting bravely with
C．had cooperated with D．was trying to beg
42．From the passage, we learn that___．
A．the woman was lucky to miss her flight
B．some people just never run out of good luck
C．robbers will get what they deserve
D．if you feel yourself lucky, you will continue to be so
43．According to the author, which of the following is the right attitude to adopt towards life?
A．Don't waste your time and energy because time is limited．
B．There's no need to worry or get frustrated. Just believe in yourself．
C．Even when everything seems to be going well, we should keep fully alert．
D．Worrying about what you don't have means you miss out on opportunities for other things．
44．The stories are intended to tell us___．
A．fortune only favors the prepared mind B．gains and losses go hand in hand
C．misfortune might be a blessing D．we should save up for a rainy day

查看习题详情和答案>>Full face transplants are no longer science fiction fantasy, a leading surgeon has said, adding that they are technically feasible（可行的）but ethically complex.
Peter Butler from London’s Royal Free Hospital called for a debate on the ethics of such an operation made possible by new drugs which stop the body’s immune（免疫的）system rejecting a transplanted face. “It is not ‘Can we do it?’ but ‘Should we do it?’” he told the BBC．“The technical part is not complex, but I don’t think that’s going to be the very great difficulty. The ethical and moral debate is obviously going to have to take place before the first facial transplantation.”
The British Association of Plastic Surgeons will discuss the microsurgical procedure (微型外科技术), which could give new skin, bone, noses, chin, lips and ears from deceased donors to patients disfigured（毁容）by accidents, burns or cancer. But surgeons could have trouble finding enough willing donors.
Despite a number of ethical concerns, Christine Piff, who founded the charity Let’s Face It after suffering a rare facial cancer 25 years ago, welcomed the possibility of face transplants. She rejected the idea that the procedure would mean people would end up living with a dead person’s face. “There are so many people without faces, I have half a face… but we are all so much more than just a face… you don’t take on their personality. You are still you,” she told reporters. “If we can donate other organs of the body, then why not the face? I can’t see anything wrong with it.”
61．The underlined word “deceased” in the third paragraph can be replaced by “ ”.
A．living B．dead C．disabled D．dying
62．When Christine Piff says “There are so many people without faces…”, she refers to the people who _________.
A．are dishonorable and shameless
B．disagree with the full face transplant
C．are seriously injured by an accident
D．are disfigured by accidents, burns and cancer
63．According to the passage, what makes it possible to carry out a facial transplantation?
A．Drugs are available to stop the body’s immune system rejecting a transplanted face.
B．It’s morally practical, though technically complex.
C．Most people accept the idea of face transplants.
D．There are some people who are willing to donate their faces after dying.

C．The main difficulty with the operation lies in the matter of ethics and morality.
D．Nobody other than Christine Piff is quite in favor of the donation of organs.
