When he found out that I was from Chicago, he told me that one of his good friends lived there and he wondered if I happened to know him. At first I wanted to say
21、 that Chicago was a very big city. He was silent(沉默)for a few minutes, and then he began to tell me all about his friend.He told me that his friend was an excellent tennis player, and that he even had his own tennis eourt(网球场).

22、nly knew two people in the country had their own tennis courts. And his friend in Chicago was one of them. I told him that I knew several people like that.

23、door neighbour went to Sacramento last summer and lived in the house next to my brothers. For a moment, we looked at each other.

He was asked to
27、go and give an operation to a very sick boy at once. The boy was in a small hospital in Glens Falls, sixty miles away from Dr. Johnsons cityAlbany. The boy had hurt himself in a traffic accident. His life was in danger, but his family was so poor that they could not pay the doctor anything. After he
28、 heard all this, Dr. Johnson was driving carefully. He thought that he could get to the hospital before 12 oclock. A few minutes later, the doctors car had to stop for a red light at a crossing. Suddenly a man in an old black coat opened the door of the car and got in.“Drive on“ ,he said. “Ive got a
29、 gun(枪). “Im a doctor,“ said Johnson. “Im on my way to a hospital to operate on a very sick. “Dont talk,“ said the man in the old black coat. “Just drive. “A mile out of the town he ordered the doctor to stop the car and get out. Then the man drove on down the road. The doctor stood for a moment in

He spent much time in the restaurants and often drunk a lot there. He had a rich sister who often supplied him enough money. So he was n
35、ever worried about food or clothes.Once a young man began to work in his company. They met at a party and introduced themselves to each other. Mr. Long knew his name was Mr. Kidd and he came from another city. The young men liked to drink too and they became good friends. They always met in the rest
36、aurant at weekend and didnt leave there until they were drunk. Of course it was bad for their health. Their friends advised them to stop drinking, but they didnt listen.It was Saturday again. Mr. Long called his friend and they decided to spend the evening in the restaurant. Mr. Kidd agreed to his o
37、pinion and got there in time. They drank one glass after another and they didnt stop until the men in the restaurant refused to sell the wine to them. They came out together and sat down at the side of the street.Pointing at the moon, Mr. Kidd said,“ Your sun is smaller than ours!“We have a bigger o
38、ne, said Mr. Long “But I wouldnt show it to you. “Ill buy it for all the jewelry in world , “called out the first drunkard(醉鬼).“What makes you think Ill sell it to you?“ the other drunkard asked in reply(反问).59 Mr. Long began to drink when he was _ .（A）thirteen（B） sixteen（C） seventeen（D）eighteen60 _
39、 , so he had enough money to do it.（A）Mr. Longs sister gave him much money（B） Mr. Longs father left him much money（C） Mr. Long was paid a lot in the company（D）Mr. Long had a very rich wife61 _ ,so they became good friends.（A）Mr. Long and Mr. Kidd worked in the same company（B） Mr. Long and Mr. Kidd k
40、new each other at a party（C） Mr. Long and Mr. Kidd knew much about drinks（D）Both Mr. Long and Mr. Kid liked drinking62 The men in the restaurant refused to sell the wine to the two young men because _.（A）all the drinks were sold out（B） they had drunk too much that evening（C） they wouldnt pay any mon
41、ey to them（D）the restaurant had to be closed63 If it were only necessary to decide whether to teach elementary science to everyone on a mass basis or to find the gifted few and take them as far as they can go, our task would be fairly simple. The public school system, however, has no such choice, fo
42、r the two jobs must be carried on at the same time. Because we depend so heavily upon science and technology for our progress, we must produce specialists in many fields. Because we live in a democratic nation, whose citizens make the policies for the nation, large numbers of us must be educated to
43、understand, to support, and when necessary, to judge the work of experts. The public school must educate both producers and users of scientific services.In education there should be a good balance among the branches of knowledge that contribute to effective thinking and wise judgement. Such balance
44、is defeated by too much emphasis on any one field. This question of balance involves not only the relation of the natural sciences, the social sciences, and the arts but also relative emphasis among the natural sciences themselves. Similarly, we must have a balance between the current and classical
45、knowledge. The attention of the public is continually drawn to new possibilities in scientific fields and the discovery of new knowledge; these should not be allowed to turn our attention away from the sound, established materials that form the basis of courses for beginners.63 According to the pass
46、age, the task of education is fairly complicated because _ .（A）the current public school system is too complicated to be understood（B） the public school system has no choice of what to teach（C） it is difficult to decide whether elementary science should be taught in public schools（D）the educators sh
47、ould take care of both ordinary and gifted students64 The word “defeated“ (Line 2, Para. 2)most probably means _ .（A）broken（B） beaten（C） shaken（D）disturbed65 Which of the following points is NOT included in the passage?（A）One of the major tasks of education is to discover the most promising students
48、.（B） In order to teach effectively, educators are requested to lay emphasis on one particular field.（C） Some subjects have been over-emphasized in public schools.（D）The progress of the society can not merely rely on inventors.66 It can be inferred from the passage that _ .（A）students should learn mo
49、re up-to-date knowledge（B） good balance in education means the proper relations between producers and users of scientific services（C） students are getting to know the importance of a good balance among the branches of knowledge（D）attention is not sufficiently given to basic knowledge67 Laziness is a sin, everyone knows that. We have probably all had lectures pointing out that laziness is
