I looked in the corner． 34 enough，there was a slim，pleasant-looking man 35 in a worn shirt and a black baseball cap，just sitting alone．I bent over, trying to 36 a smile．“I’m sorry，”I said．“please let me know if you want anything．”
I was about to turn back away 37 the man spoke．He had a soft，low voice，but somehow I could hear it clear and plain in the 38 restaurant．
“I'd like an order of chips,” he said，“and a glass of water．”
My heart 39 ．Chips were the cheapest thing on the menu, Which meant I wouldn't get much o a tip．But maybe this guy was broke(囊中羞涩),and I certainly knew 40 that felt．So I tried my best to make him feel OK．

第二部分：阅读理解(共25小题；第一节每小题2分，第二节每小题1分；满分45分)
第二节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
An allowance(零用钱)is an important tool for teaching kids how to budget, save and make
their own decisions．Children remember and learn from mistakes when their own dollars are lost or spent foolishly．
How large is an allowance appropriate? Experts say there is not right amount．Actual amounts differ from area to area, and from family to family．
To set an appropriate allowance for your child，work out a weekly budget．Allow for entertainment expenditures(花费)such as movie and snack．Next include everyday expenses such as lunch money, bus fare and school supplies．“If you make the child responsible for these bills，”says Josephine Swanson．a consumer specialist，“he or she will learn to budget for necessary expenditures．”
Finally add some extra money to make saving Possible．If you can，keep your child's allowance
in line with that of his friends，A child whose purchasing power falls away below his peers can feel left out.
It can be tough，but avoid excusing your children when they make a mistake with their allowance．When Brooke Stephens was ten and growing up in Jacksonville，her mother gave her $5 a week，$1.75 of which was for bus fare and lunch．“If you lose money” Brooke's mother told her, “you walk home．”
One week the girl spent all her allowance in a candy store，and then she called home for a ride． “Mom made me walk home，”recalls Stephens，now a financial planner in Brooklyn．“At first I was angry．But I finally realized that she was trying to teach me an important lesson．”
Experts advise an allowance should not be tied directly to a child's daily chores(琐事)．Kids should help around the house not because they get paid for it but because they share responsibilities as members of family．You might，however pay a child for doing extra jobs at home．That can develop his or her initiative(主动性)．
41．What does the text mainly discuss?
A．How to develop a child's initiative．
B．How to work up a budget．
C．How to teach a child to save money．
D．How to teach a child to manage money matters．
42．It can be inferred from the text that if a child is given an allowance，he or she may ．
A．spend all the money very soon
B．be spoiled and finally ruined
C．lose the money and can not return home
D．feel responsible and be careful about money
43．The underlined part “his peers”(in Para．4)probably refers to ．
A．his friends B．his brothers C．his parents D．his teachers
44．Why does the author mention Brooke Stephens?
A．To question the opinion about pocket money．
B．To compare Stephens with other experts．
C．To explain that parents should be strict when children are developing habits about money
D．To suggest that pocket money is useless in developing a child's sense of responsibility．
B
Some people believe that international sport creates goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together, they will learn to live together．Others say that the opposite is true：international competitions encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred (憎恨)．There is probably some truth in both arguments，but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sport encourages international brotherhood．Not only was there the tragic incident including the murder of athletes，but the Games were also ruined by incidents caused mainly by smaller national contests．
One country received its second-place medals with visible anger after the hockey(曲棍球)final．There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match，the losers objecting to the final decisions．They were sure that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents' victory was unfair．Their manager was in great anger when he said，“This Wasn't hockey．Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished．”The president of the Federation said later that such behavior could result in the suspension(停赛)of the team for at least three years．
Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game．The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals，or in non-national teams，might be too much to hope for．But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism(偏激的爱国主义)。
45．According to the author, recently the Olympic Games have ．
A．created goodwill between the nations
B．brought about only false national pride
C．hardly showed any international friendship
D．put an end to misunderstanding and hatred
46．What did the manager mean by saying，“Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are
finished”?
A．His team would no longer take part in international games．
B．Hockey and the Federation are both ruined by the unfair decisions．
C．There should be no more Hockey matches organized by the Federation．
D．The Federation should break up．
47．The author gives the example in paragraph 2 to show ．
A．how false national pride led to undesirable incidents in international games
B．that sportsmen are often against the final decisions
C．that competitiveness in the games discourages international friendship
D．that unfair decisions are common in the Olympic Games
48．What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?
A．The organization of the Olympic Games should be improved．
B．Athletes should compete as individuals in the Olympic Games．
C．A game should be played competitively rather than for the love of the game．
D．More and more athletes will compete for their own honor．
C
When I opened my e-mail the other day, a pretty woman named Rachel appeared on my computer screen．She greeted me by name and started talking with great enthusiasm(热情)．Every now and then she stopped to smile at me or blow a kiss．She was reading to me an e-mail from my brother, and a lot of it was about his getting the phone company to give him a high speed Internet connection．It was pretty cool．
Rachel was there thanks to a new technology called Facemail．Facemail lets you send e-mail that gets read to the receiver by an attractive male or female or by a clown(小丑)．The software which is free，can be downloaded at www.Facemail.com．
Facemail faces are lifelike，and they simulate(模拟)emotions based on emotions that you put in your text．For example，type in—X，and Rachel blows a kiss．
LifeX，the company that developed the Facemail, is sure there are broad business uses．The reason why e-business is not popular, me company says，is that buying over the Interact lacks the human touch．But what if you went to the Nike website and Michael Jordan greeted you by name waited on you and personally closed the sale? And it is talking with Whirlpool(惠而普公司)about using the technology in a computer screen on a fridge．Then if Mom can't be home when the kids get back from school，she can leave a note with a voice and image telling them what there is to eat．
Facemail could get hot fast．Personally，I'm a fan．But Facemail should be used with care．The clown looks lively and funny at first．But if you select the clown，put a few rude words in an e-mail and add some angry emotions，you've got a Psycho mail(疯人型电子邮件)。
49．The pretty woman appears on the writer's screen was ．
A．a woman working on the Internet
B．his brother's girlfriend
C．not a real person
D．the picture of his pen friend
50．The main advantage of Facemail is that ．
A．you can hire a beautiful woman to read the e-mail to you
B．you can see the representation of the person who sends you the e-mail
C．you can send an e-mail free of charge
D．e-mail can be attractive in a more lovely way
51．The writer mentioned the Nike website and Michasl Jordan to show that ．
A．famous people like Michasl Jordan also like to use Facemail
B．Facemail can make shopping on the Internet more interesting
C．Nike website will increase its sales by Jordan
D．Michael Jordan will serve you himself on Nike website
52．What is the writer's attitude towards Facemail?
A．He thinks it needs further improvement．
B．He thinks it cool and funny．
C．He thinks it a danger to the Internet．
D．He thinks people should be careful with Facemail.
D
Attention to detail is something everyone can and should do——especially in a tight job market．Bob Crossley, a human-resource expert notices this in the job applications that come cross his desk every day．“It's amazing how many candidates get rid of themselves,” he says．"Resumes(简历)arrive with dirt．Some candidates don't bother to spell the company's name correctly．Once I see a mistake，I remove the candidate，”Crossley concludes．“If they cannot take care of these details，why should we trust them with a job?”
Can we pay too much attention to details? Absolutely．Perfectionists struggle over little things at the cost of something larger they work toward．“To keep from losing the forest for the trees，”says Charles Garfield，associate professor at the University of California, San Francisco，“we must constantly ask ourselves how the details we're working on fit into the larger picture．If they don't，we should drop them and move to something else”．
Garfield compares this process to his work as a computer scientist at NASA．“The Apollo Ⅱ moon launch was slightly off-course(偏离航向)90 percent of the time，”says Garfield．“But a successful landing was still likely because we knew the exact coordinates of our goal．This allowed us to make adjustments as necessary．”Knowing where we want to go helps us judge the importance of every task we undertake．
Too often we believe what accounts for others' success is some special secret or a lucky break(机遇)．But rarely is success so mysterious．Again and again，we see that by doing little things within our grasp well，large rewards follow．
53．According to the passage，some job applicants were rejected
A．because of their carelessness as shown in their failure to present a clean copy of a resume
B．because of their limited education as shown in their poor spelling in writing a resume
C．because they failed to give a detailed description of their background in their applications
D．because they remove their names from the applicants' list themselves
54．The word “perfectionists”(L.2.Para.3)refers to those who ．
A．demand others to get everything absolutely right
B．know how to adjust their goals according to the circumstances
C．pay too much attention to details only to lose their major objectives
D．are capable of achieving perfect results in whatever they do
55．Which of the following is the author's advice to the reader?
A．Although too much attention to details may be costly, they should not be overlooked．
B．Don't forget details when drawing pictures．
C．Be aware of the importance of a task before undertaking it．
D．Careless applicants are not to be trusted．
56．The example of Apollo Ⅱ moon Launch is given to show that ．
A．some mistakes can be ignored in achieving major objectives
B．failure is the mother of success
C．adjustments are the key to the successful completion of any work
D．keeping one's goal in mind helps in deciding which details can be overlooked
57．The best title for the passage would be .
A．Don't be a perfectionist
B．Importance of adjustments
C．Details and Major Objectives
D．Hard Work Plus Good Luck
