Stories about animal kindness have really changed my point of view. In fact, some stories are amazing, especially when
44、animals are meeting with people. Here are two stories that interest me:James, a wildlife writer, told a story about how an African woman had placed her baby in the shade of a tree while she was working. An elephant group walked by and saw the baby. Several elephants pulled leafy branches from the tr
45、ee and covered the sleeping baby. Flies can be a problem in Africa and the branches protected the baby from the flies. The elephants were so gentle and quiet that they did not even wake up the baby. Then the elephants walked away.An English magazine offers another story. Bill, the cat, stayed at hom
46、e while its master was away on a trip, but the man was injured in a railway accident and died a few days later in a hospital. At the funeral (葬礼), the mans brother was surprised to see that Bill was there. The faithful cat had traveled a long way to the hospital, looked at the coffin (棺材), and then
47、sadly returned home.Humans are only one part of the earth. The beautiful flowers are our sisters; the deer, the horse, the great eagle, these are our brothers. The sky and mountains, the cows and men, all belong to the same family. These stories, I hope, will inspire more people to treat animals as
48、our friends rather than pets or our next meal.73. What did the author use to believe?A. People meet with animals often.B. Animal brains are too simple to make choices.C.

49、 the baby?A. They woke up the baby by pulling branches. B. They helped to protect it from the flies.C. They walked by doing nothing.D. They ate some branches and walked away.75. Though it was a long way to travel, the faithful cat managed to _.A. appear at its masters funeral B. catch up with its ma
50、ster on his tripC. see its masters brother D. see its master die in an accident76. Why does the author write this passage?A. He wants to make animals become our sisters and brothers. B. He wants to inspire more people to treat animals as friends. C. He wants to warn people against having more food o
51、r pets. D. He wants to make the earth a whole family. EYoung Mister Smith had an idea for his employer. It was an idea for saving money for the company by increasing prices. At the same time, Smith suggested that the company sell goods of less value.If his employer liked the idea, Smith might be giv
52、en more pay. Perhaps he might even get a better job with the company.Business had been very slow. So Mister Smiths employer thought a few minutes about the idea. But then she shook her head. “I am sorry, Smith,” his employer said. “It just will not wash.”Now, the meaning of these English words shoul
53、d be, “It will not get clean.” Yet, Smiths idea did not have anything to do with making something clean. So why did his employer say, “It will not wash?”Most word experts agree that “it will not wash” means it will not work. In the nineteenth century in England, the expression came to mean an unde-p
54、endable statement. It was used mainly to describe an idea. But sometimes it was used about a person.Happily for the young employee Smith, his employer wanted him to do well in the company. So the employer “talked turkey” to him. She said, “Your idea would be unfair to our buyers. Think of another wa
55、y to save money.”A century ago, to talk turkey meant to talk pleasantly. Turkeys in the barnyard (仓院) were thought to be speaking pleasantly to one another. In recent years, the saying has come to mean an attempt to teach something important.Mister Smith thought of a better idea after his employer t
56、alked turkey to him. He was given an increase in pay. So if your idea “will not wash,” try “talking turkey” to yourself and come up with a better idea. 77. Whats the main purpose of the passage?A. To give some advice on office work. B. To explore the meanings of two expressions.C. To share Mister Sm
57、iths personal experience.D. To tell about the development of the English language.78. Which of the following words can best describe the employer in the passage? A. Hard-working.B. Unlucky. C. Honest. D. Cold-blooded. 79. Why did the employer refuse Mister Smiths idea?A. The idea would cost her much
58、 money. B. She knew Smith played a trick on her.C. She herself wanted to get a better job.D. The idea would do harm to customers.80. By saying “It just will not wash”, the employer actually means “_”.A. your suit wont get clean again B. your suit is made of bad materialC. your idea is too good to be
