His workmates gave a nickname(绰号) “Four dollars a bucket (桶)”to him, for he was always used to leaving an advertisement of his company “Four dollars a bucket of oil”below his name whenever and wherever he wrote down his name.As time went by, people forgot his real name. Later, when Rockefeller, the board chairman of the oil company, heard of it, he was very surprised, so he invited Albert to come to his office.“Some pe ople give you a nickname for …Four dollars a bucket‟. Why aren‟t you angry?” asked Rockefeller with some puzzlement in his eyes.“Oh! Mr. Rockefeller! I like this nickname very much, because …Four dollars a bucket‟ isour company‟s advertisement. As long as someone calls me …Four dollars a bucket‟ once, I think it‟s a free advertisement for our company. I have no reason to get angry. Don‟t you think so, Mr. Rockefeller?”“Oh! What a fantastic man!” Rockefeller said excitedly when hearing Albert‟s words. “Young man, work harder! You must succeed in the future! I believe in you!”Five years later, Albert became the second board chairman after Rockefeller.Later Albert said in one of his reports, “I don‟t think we should feel frustrated when we have no way to do the world-shaking things.

The Second Board Chairman.BThere was a man who was blind from birth. He owned a fruit stand (摊子) on a very busy street.One day his son came to him and told him that he had read in the newspaper of a new discovery that they could operate on his eyes and allow him to see. The father and son traveled to the doctor and paid for the operation.The doctor aske d the man after the operation, “What is the first thing you want to see when I take the bandages off?”The blind man replied, “I want to see my beautiful fruit on my stand!”The doctor and the son took the man down to the busy street where his fruit stand was located for so many years. The doctor carefully took off the bandages so that the man could lay his eyes on the beautiful fruit. The man was so full of joy that he could finally see his life‟s work－taking care of his fruit.After a few hours of enjoying his beautiful fruit stand, he looked down the street and saw there were quite a few fruit stands in both directions. He spent so much time looking at other fruit stands and he was so sad because his fruit stand was not the only one along the street!The reason I tell you this story is:－You are an individual.－You have different fingerprints, DNA, and thinking!－You are one of a kind.－There is no competition.－You are on the endangered species list!－Once you are gone, that‟s it!－Be yourself and allow everyone else to be who they are.44. How did the son know there was a way to allow the blind man to see?A. From the doctor.B. From a friend.C. From the advertisement.D. From the newspaper.45. What was the blind man‟s biggest wish after he could see?A. To see his fruit.B. To see the world.C. To see his son.D. To see the doctor.46. Why did the man‟s feeling change from joy to sadness?A. Because he couldn‟t see his stand very clearly.B. Because his life‟s work was taking care of his fruit.C. Because his stand was just one of those fruit stands.D. Because the fruit wasn‟t as beautiful as he had thought.47. The purpose of the story is _____________.A. to support us to compete with othersB. to remind us to mind our own lifeC. to advise us to be a special oneD. to believe we are endangeredCWhat should you think about when trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects, you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with other workers. You may have learned to give correct changes in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it, but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.48. What is the passage mainly about?A. Advice on choosing a career.B. How to face one‟s weakness.C. The significance of working hard at school.D. The direct and indirect value of school work.49. According to the passage, doing a part-time job as a student _______.A. can help afford one‟s educationB. can help you prepare for future workC. is a good way to practice the skills learnt in schoolD. is a waste of time that could have been spent on study50. From the passage we learn that if a student‟s school perfo rmance is not good, he ______.A. could restart his study in schoolB. may also do well in his future workC. will be regretful about the bad results he has got at schoolD. should pay more attention to learning skills and developing abilities51. From the last paragraph we know that one should ________.A. make full use of one‟s own weak pointsB. study harder for a new school recordC. face one‟s own weak points wiselyD. feel sorry for one‟s own school recordDAbout six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat d own at the next table, I couldn‟t help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one point the woman asked, “So, how have you been?”And the boy who could not have been more than seven or eight years old replied. “Frankly, I've been feeling a little depressed (沮丧）lately.”This incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed（证实）my growing belief that children are changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn‟t find out we were “depressed”, that is, in low spirits, until we were in high school.Undoubtedly a change in children has increased steadil y in recent years. Children don‟t seem childlike anymore. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to.Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different. Childhood as it once was no longer exists. Why?Human development depends not only on born biological states, but also on patterns of gaining social knowledge. Movement from one social role to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new social positions. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages; traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation (揭示) machine has been equipped in 98 percent of American homes. It is called television. Television passes information to all viewers alike, whether they are children or adults. Unable to resist（抵制）the temptation（诱惑）, manychildren turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more attractive moving pictures.Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information which children will gain. Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials.52. According to the author, feeling depressed is _______.A. a sure sign of a mental problem in a childB. a mental state present in all humans, including childrenC. something that cann ot be avoided in children‟s mental developmentD. something hardly to be expected in a small child53. Traditionally, a child is supposed to learn about the adult world ______.A. through connection with societyB. gradually and under guidanceC. naturally without being taughtD. through watching television54. Acco rding to the author, that today‟s children seem adult like results from ______.A. the widespread influence of televisionB. the poor arrangement of teaching contentC. the fast pace of human scientific developmentD. the rising standard of living55. What does the author think of communication through print for children?A. It enables children to gain more social information.B. It develops children‟s interest in reading and writing.C. It helps children to read and write well.D. It can control what children are to learn.第II卷四、根据短文内容及所给的首字母写出所缺的单词或根据括号中的单词写出其正确形式（每题2分，共10分）。
