39、rother, “Did you see that dollar bill on the cash register?” His brother replied that he had not. But the young man kept questioning. “Dollar bills just dont get up and walk away! Surely you must have seen it!”There was a little of anger in his voice. Resentment (怨恨) set in and it divided the young
40、men. They finally decided they could no longer work together and a dividing wall was built down the center of the store. For twenty years anger grew, spreading to their families.Then one day a man in a car stopped in front of the store. He walked in and asked the clerk, “How long have you been here?
41、” The clerk replied that hed been there all his life. The customer said, “I must share something with you. Twenty years ago I came into this town. I hadnt eaten for three days. I came into this store from the back door and saw a dollar bill on the cash register. I put it in my pocket and walked out.
42、 All these years I havent been able to forget that.

Letting Go of HateCIf music makes you smarter and exercise helps you to think, surely exercising to music can turn you into an intelligent person.A team of scientis
48、ts from Ohio State University did experiments on 33 volunteers who were getting better from heart disease following operation. They found that people who exercised while listening to Italian musician Antonio Vivaldis “The Four Seasons” did much better on language ability tests than without music.“Fa
49、cts suggest that exercise improves the learning ability of people with heart disease,” said the psychologist Charles Emery, who led the study. “And listening to music is thought to enhance understanding. We just wanted to put the two results together,” he added. The volunteers said they felt better
50、emotionally and physically after working out with or without the music. But their improvement on the test doubled after listening to music during exercise. Scientists have proved that music can be good for health, education and well-being. It helps reduce stress, sadness and nervousness; encourages
51、relaxation or sleep; wakes up the body and improves memory and thoughts. In medical fields, music is used widely for patients who have had head hurts before and after operation. “The Four Seasons” was used because of its moderate tempo（舒缓的节拍）and positive results in earlier research. “Exercise seems
52、to cause positive changes in the nervous system(神经系统) and these changes may have a direct result on learning ability,” Emery said. Scientists have been studying the results of music on understanding since the early 1950s. By 2000, psychologists were using Mozarts music, especially his violin pieces,
53、 to help children with speech disorders. Mozart was chosen because his music is not overexciting and has clear structures. A study showed students who listened to Mozart went on to score higher marks in an intelligence test. With important exams drawing near, your parents will not probably allow you
54、 to listen to music. But perhaps now you have good reasons to argue with them.70.The underlined word enhance can be replaced by _.A. impress B. improve C. provide D. produce71. The text mainly tells us that _.A. music and exercise lead to relaxation or sleepB. 33 volunteers work on music in medical
55、fieldsC. exercising to music makes people healthy and bright D. scientists give suggestions on choosing music to exercise to72. It can be learned from the last paragraph that _. A. you are supposed to follow your parents words B. students should not listen to music before exams C. you have some good
56、 reasons to exercise to music D. music might help you to get higher grades in tests73. Which of the following statements is true? A. Exercise seems to cause negative changes without music. B. Exercise reminds people with head hurts of what theyve learned. C. Scientists often use Mozarts music, for i
57、t is not too exciting. D. “The Four Seasons” is used to help children with speech disorders.DHow I Turned to Be Optimistic(乐观)I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunts house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bu
58、s then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning. I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I c
59、ried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then. The four ye
60、ars that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really losthaving to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became
61、 even more complex(复杂)for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to “the hard times.” My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translat
62、ed at interviews with Immigration(移民局)officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives. From my experiences I have learned one important rule: Almost all common troubles finally go away! Something good is certain to ha
