I think it was my mother who taught me the meaning of honesty. Not because she actually was honest, but because she lied all the time. She felt that the easiest way out of any given situation was generally the best way out. And, for her, that generally meant telling a “little white lie.” As a young child I thought it was kind of cool. And, naturally, when I would come to her with a concern or question wondering what I should do, she generally advised me to lie.
“Mom, I told Theresa that I would go over to her house, but now I would rather go to Sue’s house to play.”
“Tell Theresa you’re sick,” she would advise. And generally I did. But I didn’t seem blessed with her lack of conscience. On many painful occasions Theresa would find out that I really went to Sue’s house without her. These occasions taught me that it is more painful to be caught in a lie than it is to tell the truth in the first place. I wondered how it was possible that my mother had never learned that lesson.
I started thinking of all the lies that I’d heard her tell. I remembered the time she told someone that her favorite restaurant had closed, because she didn’t want to see them there anymore. Or the time she told Dad that she loved the lawn-mower he gave her for her birthday. Or when she claimed that our phone lines had been down when she was trying to explain why she hadn’t been in touch with a friend of hers for weeks. And what bothered me even more were all the times she had involved me into her lies. Like the time she told my guidance counselor that I had to miss school for exploratory surgery, when she really needed me to babysit. And it even started to bother me when someone would call for her and she would ask me to tell them that she wasn’t there.
So, I started my own personal fight against her dishonesty. When I answered the phone and it was someone my mother didn’t want to talk to, I said, “Louise, mom is here, but she doesn’t want to talk to you.” The first time I did it, she punished me, but I refused to apologize. I told her that I had decided that it was wrong to lie. And the next time it happened I did the same thing. Finally, she approached me and said, “I agree that lying is not the best thing to do, but we need to find a way to be honest without being rude.” She admitted that her methods weren’t right, and I admitted that mine were a bit too extreme.
Over the past few years, the two of us have worked together to be honest—and yet kind. Honesty should mean more than not lying. It should mean speaking the truth in kindness. Though I started by trying to teach my mom the importance of honesty, I ended up gaining a deeper understanding of the meaning of the term.
1. The author’s mother __________.
A. thought white lies were not lies
B. helped the author get out of trouble with white lies

2.The author __________.
A. was thankful to her mother’s advice

D. felt guilty when hurting people with her honesty
3.It can be inferred that the author’s mother __________.
A. met her friends in the same restaurant regularly
B. didn’t get along with the author’s teachers
C. was not popular among her friends
D. wanted to have something else for her birthday
4.Finally the author and her mother agreed that __________.
A. kind-heartedness is more important than honesty
B. appropriate methods are the key to telling a good lie
C. honesty is defined as kindness as well as truthfulness
D. absolute honesty is basic to good interpersonal relationships

If you are a male and you are reading this, congratulations: you are a survivor. According to statistics, you are more than twice as likely to die of skin cancer than a woman, and nine times more likely to die of AIDS. Assuming you make it to the end of your natural term, about 78 years for men in Australia, you will die on average five years before a woman.
There are many reasons for this, men take more risks than women and are more likely to drink and smoke, but perhaps more importantly, men don’t go to the doctor.
“Men aren’t seeing doctors as often as they should, ” says Dr. Gullotta, “This is particularly so for the over-40s, when diseases tend to strike.”Gullotta says a healthy man should visit the doctor every year or two. For those over 45,it should be at least once a year.
According to a recent survey, 95%of women aged between 15 and early 40s see a doctor once a year, compared to 70% of men in the same age group.
“A lot of men think they are invincible （不可战胜的）”Gullotta says “They only come in when a friend drops dead on the golf course and they think 'Dear me, if it could happen to him, …' ”
Then there is the ostrich (鸵鸟)approach,“Some men are scared of what might be there and would rather not know, ” says Dr. Ross Cartmill.“ Most men get their cars serviced more regularly than they service their bodies,” Cartmill says. He believes most diseases that commonly affect men could be addressed by preventive check-ups. Regular check-ups for men would inevitably(不可避免地) place stress on the public purse. Cartmill says.“But prevention is cheaper in the long run than having to treat the diseases. Besides, the final cost is far greater.”
68.What does the author state is the most important reason men die five years earlier on average than women?
A. Men drink and smoke much more than women.
B. Men aren’t as cautious as women in face of danger.
C. Men don’t seek medical care as often as women.
D. Men are more likely to suffer from fatal diseases.
69.Which of the following best completes the sentence “Dear me, if it could happen to him,…”in paragraph5 ?
A. I should avoid playing golf.
B. I should consider myself lucky.
C. it would be a big misfortune.
D. it could happen to me, too.
70.What does Dr. Ross Cartmill mean by “the ostrich approach” in paragraph6 ?
A. A new treatment for certain psychological problems.
B. Refusal to get medical treatment for fear of the pain involved.
C. Unwillingness to find out about one’s disease because of fear.
D. A casual attitude towards one’s health conditions.
71. What does Cartmill say about regular check-ups for men?
A. They may increase public expenses.
B. They will save money in the long run.
C. They may cause psychological stress on men.
D. They will enable men to live as long as women.
