9、he corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.20 “When one of the doctors criticizes (批评) me, I get defensive; I feel like a child again, being scolded, and I want to explain that Im not wrong.“ says Viola, a nurse. This is a common reaction (反应) to criticism, but not a good one. There are better ways
10、 of dealing with criticism.(1)Try to be objective (客观 ). When Sol was criticized by his new employer for not having made a sale, Sols reaction was to feel sorry for himself. “I had put everything I had into making that sale,“ Sol says, “and I felt that I had failed as a person. I had to learn throug
11、h experience notto react like that to each failure.“(2)Take time to cool down. Rather than reacting immediately to criticism, take some time to think over what was said. Your first question should be whether the criticism is fair from the other persons position. The problem may be a simple misunders
12、tanding of what you did or your reasons for doing it.(3) Take positive (积极的) action. After you cool down, consider what you can do about the situation. The best answer may be “nothing“. “I finally realized that my boss was having personal problems and taking them out on me because I was there,“ says
13、 Sheila. “His criticisms didnt really have anything to do with my work, so nothing I said or did was going to change them.“ In Sheilas case, the best way to deal with it was to leave her job. However, thats an extreme reaction. You may simply explain your opinion without expecting an in-depth discus
14、sion. You may even decide that the battle isnt worth fighting this time. The key, in any case, is to have a reasonable plan.21 When Sol was criticized by his employer, he _.（A）argued bitterly with his employer（B） was angry and gave up his job（C） was sorry for what he did（D）was sad and self-pitying22

16、swer may be nothing “, he means you may decide _.（A）to take no notice of the criticism（B） to argue with your boss（C） you need to change your job（D）youve done nothing wrong24 The writer thinks Sheila can decide to leave her job because her boss _.（A）didnt like her appearance（B） refused to change his
17、opinion（C） made an unreasonable criticism（D）refused to talk to her about the criticism24 Men have traveled ever since they first appeared on the earth.In primitive times they did not travel for pleasure but to find new places where their herds could feed, or to escape from hostile neighbors, or to f
18、ind more favorable climates. They traveled on foot. Their journeys were long, tiring, and often dangerous. They protected themselves with simple weapons, such as wooden sticks or stone clubs, and by lighting fires at night and, above all, by keeping together.Being intelligent and creative, they soon
19、 discovered easier ways of traveling. They rode on the backs of their domesticated animals; they hollowed out tree trunks and, by using bits of wood as paddles, were able to travel across water.Later they traveled, not from necessity, but for the joy and excitement of seeing and experiencing new thi
20、ngs. This is still the main reason why we travel today.Traveling, of course, has now become a highly organized business. There are cars and splendid roads, express trains, huge ships and jet airliners, all of which provide us with comforts and security. This sounds wonderful. But there are difficult
21、ies. If you want to go abroad, you need a passport and a visa, ticket, luggage, and a hundred of other things. If you lose any of them, your journey may be ruined.25 In primitive times men traveled（A）for joy（B） from necessity（C） to broaden the mind（D）to escape from the wild animals26 Which of the fo

25、to get into the car and continued his driving. When he talked to the man and learned that the man had been in prison for robbery and had broken out of prison two days before, Mr. Green was very worried.Suddenly he saw a police-car and had a bright idea. He just reached a small town where the speed l
26、imit was 30 miles an hour. But he drove the car as fast as it could go. He looked back and saw that the police-car had begun to chase him. After a mile or so the police-car overtook (赶上) him and ordered him to stop. A policeman got out and came to Mr. Greens car. Mr. Green hoped that he could tell t
27、he policeman about the escaped robber, but he felt the man had put a gun against his back. The policeman took out his notebook and pencil, saying he wanted Mr. Greens name and address. Mr. Green asked to be taken to the police station, but the policeman said, “No, you will have to appear at the poli
28、ce station later.“ Mr. Green had to do as the policeman told him. The policeman wrote his name and address down, put his notebook and pencil back in his pocket and gave Mr. Green a talk about dangerous driving. Then Mr. Green started up his car again and drove on.Just as he reached the suburb of Lon
29、don, the passenger said, “I want to get off here. “Mr. Green stopped the car, the man got out and said, “Thanks for the lift. Youve been good to me. This is the least I can do in return. “And he handed Mr. Green the policemans notebook, which he stole while the policeman was talking to Mr. Green.29

33、l tree. This is because there is no wood in the stem(树 干) rising above the ground. The stem is made up of leaves growing very close together, one inside the other. The leaves spread out at the top of the stem and rise in the air.Banana plants need a lot of care and attention. They must be provided w
34、ith water if the normal rainfall doesnt supply enough. The area around the plants must be kept free of weeds (杂草) and grass.About nine or ten months after planting, a flower appears on the banana plant. This flower is at the end of a long stalk (茎) , which grows from the base up through the center o
35、f the stem and turns downward when it comes out from the top. Small bananas form on this flower stalk as it grows downward. Bananas really grow upside down. As the small bananas form on the stalk, they point downward, but as they grow they turn and point upward.Bananas are harvested while they are s
36、till green. Even when they are to be eaten where they are grown, they are not allowed to ripen on the plant. A banana that turns yellow on the plant loses its taste.33 The first paragraph in the text mainly discusses _.（A）why the stem of the tree is wood（B） how the banana grows on the stem（C） why th

39、These are two important questions that many people are asking today. Some people think that man might be able to solve both problems at the same time. They suggest using garbage as an energy source, and at the same time it can save the land to hold garbage.For a long time, people buried garbage or d
40、umped it on empty land. Now, empty land is scarce. But more and more garbage is produced each year. However, garbage can be a good fuel to use. The things in garbage do not look like coal, petroleum, or natural gas; but they are chemically similar to these fossil fuels. As we use up our fossil-fuel
41、supplies, we might be able to use garbage as an energy source. Burning garbage is not a new idea. Some cities in Europe and the United States have been burning garbage for years. The heat that is produced by burning garbage is used to boil water. The steam that is produced is used to make electricit
42、y or to heat nearby buildings. In Paris, France, some power plants burn almost 2 million metric tons of the citys garbage each year. The amount of energy produced is about the same as would be produced by burning almost a half million barrels of oil.Our fossil fuel supplies are limited. Burning garb
43、age might be one kind of energy source that we can use to help meet our energy needs.
