READING COMPREHEN(总题数：0，分数：0.00)五、Passage 1(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Every man ought so to manage as to live within his means, This practice is of the very essence of honesty; for if a man d

29、oes not manage honestly to live within his own means, he must necessarily be living dishonestly upon the means of somebody else. Those who are careless about personal expenditure and consider merely their own satisfaction without regard for the comfort of others generally find out the real uses of m

30、oney when it is too late. Though by nature generous, these thriftless(不节俭的) persons are often driven in the end to do very shabby things. They dawdle with(浪费) their money as with their time, draw bills upon the future, anticipate their earnings and are thus under the necessity of dragging after them

31、 a load of debts and obligations which seriously handicap their ability to act as free and honest men.The loose cash which many persons throw away uselessly, and worse, would often form a basis of fortune and independence for life. These wasters are their own worst enemies, though they are generally

32、 found amongst the ranks of those who criticize “the injustice of the world“. But if a man will not be his own friend, how can he expect others will? Orderly men of moderate means have always something left in their pockets to help others; whereas your wasteful and careless fellows who spend all nev

33、er find an opportunity for helping anybody.It is a poor sort of economy, however, to be a skinflint. Narrow-mindedness in living and dealing is generally short-sighted and often leads to failure. The penny soul, it is said, never comes to two pence. Generosity and liberality, like honesty, prove the

34、 best policy, after all. And there are numerous examples of brilliant results from a course of generous and honest policy.The proverb says: “An empty bag cannot stand upright. “ Neither can a man who is in debt. Debt makes everything a temptation. It lowers a man in self-respect, places him at the m

35、ercy of his tradesmen and his servants and makes him a slave in many respects; for he can no longer call himself his own master, nor boldly look the world in the face. It is also difficult for a man who is in debt to be truthful. Therefore, it is said that lying rides on debts back. The debtor has t

36、o frame excuses to his creditor for postponing payment of the money he owes him; and probably also to bring about falsehoods.It is easy enough for a man who will exercise a healthy resolution to avoid incurring the first obligation; but the facility with which that has been incurred often becomes a

37、temptation to a second; and very soon the unfortunate borrower becomes so entangled that no belated exertion of industry can set him free. The first step in debt is like the first step in falsehood, almost involving the necessity of proceeding in the same course, debt following debt as lie follows l

38、ie.Dr. Johnson held that early debt is ruin. His remarks on the subject are weighty and worthy of being held in remembrance.“Do not, “ said he, “ accustom yourself to considering debt only as an inconvenience; you will find it a disaster. Poverty takes away so many means of doing good and produces s

39、o much inability to resist evil, both natural and moral, that it is by all virtuous means to be avoided. Let it be your first care, then, not to be in any mans debt. Resolve not to be poor; whatever you have, spend less. Poverty is a great enemy to human happiness; it certainly destroys liberty and

40、it makes some virtues impracticable and others extremely difficult. No man can help others that wants help himself; we must have enough before we have to spare. /（分数：10.00）(1).“To live within ones means“ is most accurately explained as _.A. to cut down expenditureB. to plan ones expenditure with gre

41、at careC. to spend no more than one actually earnsD. to live frugally and spend nothing except on necessities（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).“They anticipate their earnings“ (Para. 1) means _.A. they eagerly look forward to a pay riseB. their expenditure is ahead of their incomeC. they feel sure they will be a

42、ble to earn moreD. their income is smaller than what they expect（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).Orderly men of moderate means have always something left in their pockets to help others. The best explanation of this is _.A. planning expenditure wisely, one will be able to help those less fortunateB. those who r

43、un their lives systematically always have money to spareC. one does not necessarily have to he rich to help other peopleD. if a man is well-off, he can spare some money for others（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).An empty bag cannot stand upright; a debtor cannot stand upright. The phrase “stand upright“ is used

44、 _.A. literally of both the hag and the debtorB. metaphorically of both the bag and the debtorC. literally of the bag, metaphorically of the debtorD. metaphorically of the bag, literally of the debtor（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).The point the writer is making in the fifth paragraph is _.A. most debtors are

45、liarsB. debts are likely to lead to dishonestyC. the firs debt has the same evil impact on a man as the first lieD. once a man starts incurring debts he doesnt know where to stop（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.六、Passage 2(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Some years ago, I was caught in a sudden, blinding snowstorm near Indiana, Pen

46、nsylvania. My car stalled at the edge of town. I walked into town and into the nearest store. The shop owner phoned for help to get my car out of the deep snow.In a short time, a tall blond man showed up with a team of horses and pulled my ear out of the snow into town. I asked him how much I owed h

47、im for his trouble. He refused any pay, saying, “I will charge you nothing but the promise that you will help the next man you find in trouble. “ I thanked him and made the promise.After he left, the storekeeper explained that the guy who had helped me was a Mennonite(蒙诺派教徒) who considered it wrong

48、to charge anyone for a service made necessary by an act of God.Four years later, a friend and I were driving over flooded land south of St.Louis, Missouri. We crossed through water a foot deep without difficulty, but through my rearview mirror, I could see that the small car behind us was in trouble

49、. I walked back with difficulty in the water while my companion turned the car around so I could hook up onto his car with chains.We pulled the ear out and waited until he got his engine started. Then he offered to pay me. I told him of my experience in Indiana, Pennsylvania, then repeated the Mennonites words: “I will charge you nothing but the promise that you will help the next man you find in trouble. “ He promised, and we parted.About a year later, my family a
