There were some iron tables outside with plastic chairs around them. A few people sat around, looking at a portable
25、television set that someone had brought out of the bar. They were all in thin summer dresses or short shirts; even at that late hour it was stifling. Two thin dogs lay under one of the tables with their tongues out, and some of the women were fanning themselves unenthusiastically(无精打采地 )with magazin
26、es. “Hes not here,“ I said, after a quick look around. The television was speaking out an advertisement for a detergent (洗衣粉 ), and the people sitting round had their eyes glued to the picture of a woman proudly showing how white her husband s underwear was after having been washed. They took no not
27、ice of us at all. “Well, what did you expect?“ replied Fergus, yawning (打呵欠 ).“ Its only half past nine, and he said he would be here at nine. You ought to know Graig by this time. Hell turn up sometime after ten.“ 53 The writer and his friend_. （ A） had never been to that bar before （ B） did not kn

I
30、f you are thinking of buying a dog, however, you should first decide what sort of companion you need and whether the dog is likely to be happy in your house. Specialists (专家 ) advice is useful to help you choose the most suitable kind of dog. But in part the decision depends on common sense. Differe
31、nt dogs were developed to perform specific tasks. So, if you want a dog to protect you or your house, for example, you should choose the one that has the right size and characteristics. You must also be ready to devote (投入 ) a great deal of time to training the dog when it is young and give it the e
32、xercise it needs throughout its life, unless you live in the countryside and can let it run freely. Dogs are demanding pets. Cats love the house and so are satisfactory with their place where there is secure, but a dog is loyal to its master and consequently wants him to show proof of his affection.
33、 The first consideration in buying a dog is whether the dog is likely to be happy in the surroundings you can provide. The best time to buy a baby dog is when it is between 6 and 8 weeks old so that it can transfer its love from its mother to its master. If baby dogs have not established a relations
34、hip with the human being until they are over three months old, their strong relationship will always be with dogs. They are likely to be too shy when they are brought out into the world to become good pets. 56 Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage? （ A） You can always get help
35、from the specialists. （ B） It is common sense that is the most important when choosing a dog. （ C） You should decide what kind of dog you want. （ D） Size and characteristics of the dogs should be considered too. 57 What is mentioned as a consideration in buying a dog? （ A） The color of the dog. （ B）
36、 The price of the dog. （ C） Whether the dog will fit the environment. （ D） Whether the dog will get along with the other pets in the house. 58 Why is it advised to buy a baby dog under three months old? （ A） Its easier to buy a baby dog under three months old. （ B） They are less likely to be shy wit
37、h human beings. （ C） They are less likely to run away. （ D） Its easier for them to form a relationship with their masters. 58 Most of you would probably say that what makes you truly happy is your family and the love you share in your relationships, and I couldnt agree more. But money comes into pla
38、y in those relationships. When I talk about money this way to a group, there is always someone who comes up to me and says, “Suze, you are so wrong. Money isnt the key to lifethis is!“ At which point their wallet flies open and they show me a photo of their family. Thats when things get interesting,
39、 because I start asking them questions: Did you take that photo with your own camera? It looks like a beautiful beach, was the photo taken on a family vacation? Do you hope to help those beautiful boys and girls go to college? As their answers are “yes“, I ask them how they provide all of that for t
40、heir family. Thats when they understand that I had it right. I totally agree that family and friends are of great importance to our well being; without meaningful relationships, theres no chance of ever being truly happy. Thats why, every Saturday night, I end my CNBC show with the following words:
41、“People first. Then money. Then things. “ How we deal with the money we have also plays into our happiness. Over the past few decades (十年 ), the percentage of Americans who say theyre happy hasnt changed much, while at the same time the average income has doubled. So we have more money, but were not
42、 much happier on average. A paradox(悖论 )? Far from it. My sense is that while were making more money, we arent making more of the money we make. We have to pay for a lot of things, and we have to worry about saving for retirement(退休 ) in a way that our parents and grandparents never did. And as many
43、 of you know, its really hard to increase your happiness when youve got a lot of money worries. Do you agree, or am I way off base?

45、dvice on holidays abroad. （ C） To know more about each person. （ D） To show them what he meant. 61 Which of the following arguments does the author want to make? （ A） Money is all that matters in our life. （ B） The richer we are, the happier well be. （ C） Money makes a difference to the quality of o
46、ur lives. （ D） True happiness is achievable from good relationships. 62 What does the underlined words “off base“ in the last paragraph most probably mean? （ A） mistaken （ B） unprepared （ C） unnecessary （ D） misunderstood 补全文章 62 Where would you most like to go on vacation?

47、 Rainforest? Each of these destinations is attractive.【 B1】 _ As a new word, staycation refers to people staying at home during their vacation time, and going sightseeing around their hometown.
