Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasnt a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I t
17、ried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes. He listened to me quietly, then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didnt you ever wonder what youre really like ? Well, you now have that girls opinion. Go and make a
18、 list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.” I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldnt change (like being very thin), but a good number I couldand suddenly I
19、wanted to change. For the first time I got a fairly clear picture of myself. I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it. “Thats just for you,” he said. “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feel
20、 hurt. When something said about you is true, youll find it will be of help to you. Dont shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.” Daddys advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, Ive never had a better piece of advi
21、ce.36. Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?A. Not an Enemy, but the Best Friend B. The Best Advice Ive Ever HadC. My Father D. My Childhood37. What does “Week by week her list grew” mean? A. Week by week she discovered more shortcomings of mine and pointed them out to me.B. S
22、he had made a list of my shortcomings and she kept on adding new ones to it so that it was growing longer and longer.C. I was having more and more shortcomings as time went on.D. Week by week, my shortcomings grew more serious.38. Why did her father listen to her quietly?A. Because he believed that
23、what her daughters “enemy” said was mostly true.B. Because he had been so angry with his daughters shortcomings that he wanted to show this by keeping silent for a while.C. Because he knew that his daughter would not listen to him at that moment.D. Because he wasnt quite sure which girl was telling

Having a good weep at the weekend is becoming more popular among office workers in China. “I need to cry to let my feeling out,” said 22-year-old Guo Meng, a smart-lo
26、oking young woman. “I remember one day when I got home I felt so down but I had no one to talk to, so I just curled up(蜷缩) with my teddy bear and cried myself to sleep,” Guo said. The next day, she said, she felt much better and life seemed not so bad after all. Because crying is taken as a sign of
27、weakness, people make a great show of being strong and not displaying emotion. Psychologists and medical practitioners agree that crying is beneficial for mental health but people still regard it as a sign of failure and bottle up their feelings. A famous Chinese author once said to cry is normal, a
28、nd even brave. Those who display their emotions can deal with their troubles bravely after the tears dry, while those who soldier on let problems fester（恶化）. In the Chaoyang district of Beijing, there is a special place for people to cry their sadness out. It is called “Cry Bar”. On the door of each
29、 of its “cry rooms” there is a saying encouraging people to let the tears flow freely. “Crying is a kind of therapy, but it needs some direction,” said Milulu, a psychologist. “People should realize the point of crying is to relieve pressure, but some of the young people who come to the Cry Bar simp
30、ly sit and weep. The purpose of crying is to make it easier to improve your life after the tears dry, not to get lost in bad memories.” Crying is only one way of relieving pressure, and we need to face problems squarely and solve them once the tears have dried, said Mululu.40. Crying _ made Guo Meng
31、 feel better.A. with some friendB. all the night with a toyC. during her sleep D. in bed before sleep41. According to the third paragraph, people usually make great efforts to_.A. get rid of their sadness B. bottle up their feelingsC. act on psychologists advice D. face their troubles bravely42. Wha
32、t should the customers do at the Cry Bar?A. Think of every sad experience theyve had and cryB. Keep crying as loudly as long as possible.C. Satisfy any desire to cry and weep until it is gone.D. Hold back their tears until they cant help but cry.43. From the text, we can learn that crying _.A. is to
33、 relieve pressure B. must help to solve problemsC. means facing problems squarely D. cant weaken sad feelings.CWHAT happens to a teenage kid when the world he thought he knew suddenly changes?
