Now I'll tell you what to do when you go into a barber's shop next time: look at all the barber's hair, find out whose hair looks worst, and then go straight to him.""Why shall I go to him?" Jack asked. "But that would be foolish!""Oh, no, it wouldn't," answered Bob. "Who cut that man's hair? Just think it. Hecouldn't cut it himself, could he? Another of the barbers cut it.

He drew the horses very well, but he always began the tail. Now it is the Western rule to begin at the head of the horse, that is why I was surprised. It struck me that it could not really make any difference whether the artist begins at the head or the tail or the belly(肚子) or the foot of the horse, if he really knows his business. And most great artists who really know their business do notfollow other people's rule. They make their own rules. Every one of them does his work in a way peculiar( 奇特的) to himself; and the peculiarity means only that he finds it more easy to work in that way.Now the very same thing is true to literature. And the question, "How shall I begin?" only means that you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail or somewhere else. That is, you are not yet experienced enough to trust to your own powers. When you become more experienced you will never ask the question, and I think that you will often begin at the tail -- that is to say, you will write the end of the story before you have even thought of the beginning.41. A friend of the writer's drew the horses ____.A. very wellB. in the way of western ruleC. in the way of his own ruleD. all of the above42. The writer was surprised because ____.A. the artist began to draw at the head of the horseB. the artist began to draw at the tail of the horseC. the artist made his own ruleD. the artist did not follow other people's rule43. You are not yet experienced because ____.A. you don't know where to beginB. you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tailC. you always asked questionD. you do not trust to your own powers44. when you become more experienced you will ____.A. never ask questionB. often begin at the tailC. should write the end of the storyD. should think of the beginning45. The topic of the passage isA. How to draw a horseB. How to write a storyC. How to make your own rulesD. Trust to your own powersCYou speak, write a letter, and make a telephone call. Your words carry a message. People communicate with words. Do you think you can communicate without words?A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly. Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad. When you raise your hand in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask questions. You shake your head, and people know you are saying "No". You nod and people know you are saying "Yes". Other things can also carry messages. For example, a sign at the bus stop helps you to know which bus to take. A sign on the wall of your school helps you to find the library. Signs on doors tell you where to go in or out. Have you ever noticed that there are a lot of signs around you and that you receive messages from them all the time? People can communicate in many other ways. An artist can use his drawings to tell about beautiful mountains, about the blue sea and many other things. Books are written to tell you about all the wonderful things in the world and also about people and their ideas. Books, magazines, TV and radios and films all help us to communicate with each other. They all help us to know what is going on in the world and what other people are thinking about.46.Can we communicate with each other without words?A. Yes, some times we can.B. No, we can't.C. No. It's impossible.D. Yes, we always do so.47. When we see somebody smile, then, he must be feeling ____.A. angryB. joyfulC. surprisedD. sad48. We can learn news from ____.A. newspapersB. radioC.

Asking someone else to take a message.DFriendship continues to remain central to our lives. Friends often affect our health and energy. More and more people are increasingly turning towards their friends for support and sharing rather than just communicating with their relatives. We may have a very unclear understanding of what makes a friend but we all want to have a good number of friends around us. There are certain things you do to help you make friends or at least help you get close to people whom you want to make friends with.The first step to make friends with people is to make them like you. If they don’t like you in the first place, it is unlikely that they’ll be eager to bec ome your friends. To let someone know that you are interested in him, simple gestures like a little smile and calling him by his name can help. To make the other person feel important, you need to be a good listener and to encourage him to talk. Give your honest and sincere opinion, but do not make fun of him.The second step is to develop trust in each other. You need to share opinions with this person and it is necessary for you to develop a habit of seeing things from his point of view. To become the best of friends, you must show concern and consideration for your friends’ desires and opinions.The third and final step is to show your support and encouragement towards your friend. Moreover, you also need to be very clear about your expectations from your friend. If what you expect from the person you want to be a friend matches with what that person can and wants to do in friendship, the developing friendship between you and your friend is sure to be easy and successful.51.
