Passage One
Walking through the dry leaves on his way home, Pat thought of what a bad day in school it had been. But every day was a bad day for him; he and the school did not like each other. But now that he was in the forest, Pat began to feel more like his usual self. He stopped to look at the quick moving stream of water called the Totopotomy. This little river was named for a man Pat liked, Totopotomy chief of the friendly Paumunkey Indians. He had heard stories about boys caught by the Paumunkeys who, when they were free, did not want to go home. Pat could understand how they felt. They did not have to go to school; they lived in the fresh air, and went fishing and hunting. How wonderful that must be!
The gentle sounds of a bird singing could be heard through the trees. Pat looked up, and tried to make the same sound. Uncle Langloo had told him to try and learn the language of the birds, and he was trying. Pat wanted to be like his uncle in every way. Langloo Win- ston was a hunter who spent most of his time living with the Indians. He fished with them, talked with them, even dressed like them, and the Indians loved him.
When Pat reached home, a young slave named Caesar ran out to meet him. Pat gave him a friendly push, and both boys rolled in the red earth. Caesar's job was to serve Pat, but he was more friend than servant. Even as a boy, Pat Henry did not believe in such differences between men.
36. The Paumunkeys did all the following except ______.
A. not having to go to school
B. living in the fresh air
C. going fishing and hunting
D. not wanting to go home

听力原文:M:How are your new neighbors, Nancy?
W:They seem nice enough, but they have a son who's driving me crazy
M: What do you mean?
W: He comes home every night around 10 with his car windows rolled down and his radio blaring. It stops as soon as he turns the car off. But by then Brian and Lisa are wide awake.
M: Oh, no.
W: Oh, yes. Sometimes it takes us till midnight just to get them to settle down again.
M: Have you tried talking to them?
W: We haven't even really met them yet except to say a quick hallo. I hate to get off on the wrong foot.
M: You are not going to like them when you do meet them if you keep on simmering.
W: I know, but I feel stupid complaining. It's not as though he's blasting his stereo all night.
M: You said yourself it is driving you crazy.
W: Well, You know how early I have to get up to be here at the office, I'm just not getting enough sleep and neither are the kids. They're so irritable when I get home in the afternoon.
M: Maybe you could go over there sometime with a little gift: a plant for the yard or something. Then you could ask their son whether they have any other children and they'll be sure to ask about yours.
W: Yeah, and then what?
M: Then you could mention that the hardest thing at this stage is getting your kids to go to sleep at night.
W: And keeping them in the asleep.
M: That's the idea. And you should do it soon. The longer you wait, the harder it will be to do politely.

5. A Golden Apple Zeus held a banquet in celebration of the marriage of Peleus and Thetis. Left off the guest list was Eris (goddess of discord), and upon turning up uninvited, she threw or rolled a golden apple into the ceremony, with an inscription that read:"to the fairest." Three goddesses claimed the apple: Hera, Athena and Aphrodite. Zeus remembered Paris of Troy as being the most beautiful of mortal men and was aware of the bull-judging contest which was soon to come, in which Paris would be judge. So Zeus sent Ares, who disguised himself as a bull, which was one of his symbols. Ares accepted this duty given by Zeus humorously. Being a god, he appeared perfect in all respects and therefore was awarded the Golden Laurels. Zeus named Paris as the judge as he knew that Paris would be a fair and equal judge. He gave the apple to Hermes and told him to deliver it to Paris and tell him that the goddesses would accept his decision without argument, and so the goddesses appeared. Each of the goddesses offered Paris a gift as a bribe in return for the apple. First, Hera promised him to give him the supreme right, and bless him to be a superior ruler, Athena is willing to give him wisdom and strength, encouraged him to have the courage to adventure, break a hero brilliant road. Aphrodite promised to let the world's most beautiful woman in love with her, and volunteered to be his wife, Helen, at that time of Sparta. Prince Paris think it over and over again, feel right and rule he inherited his father 's throne, after can be, the hero's path he have a good ability to play, but the beauty is not every day can be encountered, especially women always love him. Besides, he felt that Aphrodite with the smallest waist, is the standard S shape. Paris chose Aphrodite, a decision that ultimately led to the start of the Trojan war. Paris soon went to celebrate the marriage of Helen and Menelaus with his brother. They spent the night there, and Menelaus was called to Agamemnon, and thus Helen and Paris were left alone. In this time they made love, and Helen left Menelaus and sailed to Troy with Paris, thus initiating the Trojan War. 10. Who got the apple at last?
A、Helen.
B、Aphrodite.
C、Hera.

When I got home, I gave my daughter a blow-by-blow account of the bust-up, expected her loyal support. Instead she rolled her eyes. “Poor X,” she said, sided with my adversary. “You can be very difficult,” she explained, “I don’t think you realize it.” She is right about the second point. I do not see myself as difficult—I am perfectly reasonable. To check this was the consensus view, the following morning I conducted a survey. I bearded first colleague I saw and demanded: “Am I difficult?” He looked uncomfortable at be put on the spot when he had barely put his coat off. “Yes,” he said. I asked three more people. All gave the same answer. To be difficult at work is not generally thought to be a good thing. On Amazon there are 1,387 titles on how to deal with difficult people with titles such as Since Strangling Isn’t an Option. I failed finding a single volume called What to Do When the Difficult Person Is Me or How to Be Difficult and Influence People.
