It is men’s nature to live together in families and tribes(部落), and cities and nations, and therefore men have learned to prize those qualities in each other which make social life the happiest and best.
Of these qualities one of the most important is sympathy-fellow-feeling. If a man had no fellow-feeling, we should call him “inhuman”; he would be no true man. We think so much of this quality that we call a kind man “human”-that is, man-like in his conduct, first to other men, and afterwards to all living things.
If you are cruel to animals, you are not likely to be kind or thoughtfull to men; and if you are thoughtful towards men, you are not likely to be cruel and thoughtful towards animals. This is why the wise man of old wrote, “The merciful man is merciful to his beast.”
What a pleasure it is also to be loved by our pets or domestic animals; and to feel that we are caring for them and are deserving of their love; or to watch the ways of wild creatures, and gradually to make friends with them!
Treating animals kindly does not mean that we must never inflict any pain on them. We ourselves are trained by pains as well as by pleasures; so too, punishment is sometimes needed to train our dogs and horses to obey us. We endure pains at the hands of the surgeon, to cure some wound or to heal some disease; so too, animals must submit to being doctored.
We send out our bravest men to face wounds, sickness and death, for the good of the nation; so too, we let our horses share the risk of battle. For similar reasons, we cannot hesitate to destroy dangerous creatures like wolves and show senseless ferocity(残忍). It is no excuse to say that these animals deserve to be treated cruelly on account of their own cruelty. They are not really cruel, for they tear and kill not from love of unkindness, but because they must do so in order to live.
1.One of the most important qualities of men is fellow-feeling because .
A.you are likely to be cruel and thoughtful without it
B.a man would be inhuman without it
C.men can’t bear any pain on themselves and animals
D.only sympathy makes a man man-like in his conduct

A.we must never force any pain on animals
B.some people have to kill some animals in order to live
C.it is human for a doctor to cut off some part from the animals
D.wise men are not only good to men but also to animals

My students often tell me that they do not have “enough time” to do all their schoolwork.
My reply is often a brief “You have as much time as the president.” I usually carry on a bit about there being twenty-four hours in the day for everyone, and suggest that “not enough time ”is not an acceptable explanation of not getting sth done.
Once in graduate school, I tried to justify(证明)myself to one of my professors by saying that I was working hard. His answer to me was, “That’s irrelevant(无关紧要的).What’s important is the quality of your work..” Since then I have had time to reflect on the “hard worker” dodge(诀窍),and I have come to some conclusions-----all relevant to the issue of how much time we have.
If you look at the matter analytically, you can identify two parts of the problem: There is, of course, the matter of “time”, which we can think of as fixed. Then there is the issue of “work” during that time, which can vary in intensity(强度).But, as my professor suggested, it’s not the diligence of the work but the quality of the product that’s important.
That led me to a new idea: the quality of the work. That concept is perhaps best explained by a sign I once saw on the wall in someone’s office: “Don’t work harder, Work smarter.” There’s a lot of sense in that idea.
If you can’t get more time, and few of us can, the only solution is to improve the quality of the work. That means devising(想出)ways of getting more out of the same time than we might otherwise get. That should lead us to an analysis of our work habits. Since “work” for students usually means “homework”, the expression “work habits” should be read as “study habits”.
Then, as a smart student, you will seek to improve those skills that you use in study, chiefly reading an writing .If you learn to read better and write better, there are big benefits that pay off across the board in all your studies.
72.From the passage, we know that the author is probably .
A.a poet | B.an educator | C.a novelist | D.an engineer |
73.We can infer from the second paragraph that the students still .
A.have enough time | B.can meet the president |
C.get something done well | D.could accept the explanation |
74.Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.The author’s students often make full use of their time to do all their homework
B.The author once tried to tell his or her professor by saying that he or she was wrong
C.Most of people can improve the quality of the work if they can’t get more time
D.You will intend to improve your skills in reading and writing if you are a top student
75.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.Not an Acceptable Explanation | B.Don’t Work Harder; Work Smarter |
C.An Analysis of Our Work Habits | D.Read Better and Write Better |

It’s not easy growing up. Growing up can be a real “pain” for some of us. We are always doing things that someone else makes us do and aren’t allowed to do all the things we like. Sometimes we feel sad, sometimes we are fearful, and sometimes we just don’t understand why we can’t stay young forever. But we should take a look back on all the hardships (苦难) in life with a positive attitude and learn from them. We should realize that all of our growing pains actually turn into growing gains!
Throughout our lives we are going to face many challenges and pains, but we should never let these obstacles keep us from following our dreams. We must overcome every obstacle one small step at a time.
As a young girl, my parents forced me to do so many things that I didn’t like. They made me learn to play the violin and then the piano. At that time I hated music and I also hated them. But looking back now, I am so glad that my parents encouraged me to take music lessons. Music has enriched (丰富) my life in so many ways. I now realize that my parents and teachers wanted me to have a better life than they did themselves.
We are all going to experience growing pains, but they are just part of our life. Think about how we would feel if we had no challenges and lived a life like that. Life would be really boring and meaningless. The future is ours! A little hard work and sweat never hurt anyone!
