So what do you expect him to say? He’ 11 probably say, “Fine, I’m all right,” but you have put a bug in his ear—maybe now he’s not sure. If you are a good friend, you may have s een something in his face, or his walk that he overlooked that morning. It starts worrying him a little. First thing you know, he looks in a mirror to see if everything is all right, while you go merrily on your way asking someone else, “How do you feel?”Every question has its time and pla ce. It’s perfectly acceptable, for instance, to ask “How do you feel?” if you’re visiting a close friend in the hospital. But if the fellow is walking on both legs, hurrying to make a train, or sitting at his desk workin g, it’s no time to ask him that sill y question.When George Bernard Shaw, the famous writer of plays was in his eighties, someone asked him “How do you feel?” Shaw put him in his place. “When you reach my age,” he said, “either you feel all right or you’re dead.”25. The question “How do you feel?” seems to be correct and suitable when asked by .A. a man working at his deskB. a friend who is illC. a person having lost a close friendD. a stranger who looks somewhat worried26. George Bernard Shaw’s reply in the passage show s his .A. cheerfulnessB. clevernessC. abilityD. politeness27. The underlined ‘You’ve put a bug in his ear’ in the 1st paragraph means that you’ve .A. made him laughB. shown concern for himC. given him some kind of warningD. made fun of himCMany years ago I worked in a psychiatric (精神病学的) hospital. I spent a great deal of time with a gentleman who had been in this hospital for many years. He never had any visitors at all—no family or friends to visit him. He never spoke, or seemed to understand anything that was said to him, nor would he react in any way to a question asked. In this person’s history, it appeared that he had a very important career where his intelligence made him a very successful man. Unfortunately, his career was cut short and he ended up needing complete care.One morning, I was attending to his needs all the while talking to him about what was happening in the local community. You see, I believe that real conversations are more important than no conversation at all and that it is more important to treat everyone with respect. I was busy dressing him after his bath, putting his clothes on, and then helping him to a chair when, totally unexpectedly, he turned to me and joined in a spirited, knowledgeable and focused discussion on a specific local event that I had been talking to him a few seconds before. This lively discussion lasted for no more than thirty seconds and then he suddenly stopped, looked straight ahead and no longer spoke. Despite my efforts to make the discussion continue, he just sat and looked straight ahead.It was amazing. When he started to speak to me, I thought that I had made a breakthrough that would allow him to leave the hospital for good. Now I think maybe it was a little wonder. Isuppose his speech might result from his neurons (神经元) connecting again for a short moment.Maybe his speaking was just a little “thank you” for the little kindness I gave him. Maybe life is supposed to be like that—a little giving means a lot to others.28. What can we know about the gentleman from Paragraph 1?A. His illness was connected with his career.B. He could do nothing but react to a question.C. His success might have a lot to do with his intelligence.D. He got ill because no family or friends visited him.29. What kind of people is the author?A. Caring and kind.B. Curious and generous.C. Calm and honest.D. Courageous and brave.30. Why did the author speak to the gentleman that morning?A. To expect a wonder to happen.B. To show respect for him.C. To make a conversation with him.D. To make him know what happened.31. What may be the best title for this passage?A. Kindness may work wonders.B. The importance of giving.C. Helping others is helping ourselves.D. A story in the hospital.DWhat should you think about in 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 boywho 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 do well at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak 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. Knowledge of history is not required for most just 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 metal work or cookery (烹饪术) 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 older workers. You may have learned to give correct change 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 (运用) tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures.It is better to face ally weaknesses 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 recognise that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.32. According to the passage, the author encourage us to .A. realise the importance of doing well at school.B. take up part - time jobs as much as possible during the summer vacationC. be good at all subjects.D. use school performance to help to choose a career.33. We can learn from the third paragraph that as a student, having a part - time job .A. is useful for his future workB. is helpless to find out his weak pointsC. is a good way to earn extra moneyD. is a must to experience various jobs34. The word “it” in the last paragraph refers to .A. your backgroundB. your school recordC. your weak pointsD. your part - time job35. If a student’s school record is not good, he .A. must regret not having worked harder at school.B. will be a complete failure in his future work sooner or later.C. may do well in his future work if he chooses a career according to what he is skilled in.D. will receive further education after graduation.第二节(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
