Did you ever play the game Rumor It begins when one person writes down a message but doesn‘t show it to anyone. Then the person whispers it, word for word, to another person. That person, in turn, whispers it to still 46 , and so on, through all the people playing the game. The last person writes down the message word for word as he or she hears it. Then the two written statements are 47 . Typically, the original message has changed.
That's what happens in daily life. The 48 fact that people repeat a story in their own words changes the story. Then, too, most people listen imperfectly. And many enjoy adding their own creative touch to a story, trying to improve on it, stamping it with their own personal style. Yet those who hear it think they know.
This process is also found among scholars and writers: A statement of opinion by one writer may be re-stated as fact by another, who may in turn be quoted by yet another; and this process may continue, unless it happens to someone to question the facts on which the original writer 49 his opinion or to change the interpretation he placed upon the facts.
A. within B. slowly C. wildly D. belong to E. without
Some dream of becoming stars in a Hollywood movie, and others of making millions of dollars overnight. But, could a dream like that come true in real life Well, it did happen to Peter Johnson.
Peter was an auto mechanic. One day, he walked into the Union Trust Bank in Baltimore and took 5,000 dollars that did not 50 him. The guards and other employees stood back and let him put the bills in his shirt and pants 51 trying to prevent him from taking the money. No one pressed an alarm. No one pulled a gun. No one called the police. Why did they allow him to get away with it
Well, everything was legal. Peter had won a contest promoted by a Baltimore radio station. The first prize entitled him to enter the Union Trust Bank and gather up as much money as he could lay his hands 52 five minutes. Because he could not bring any large bags or boxes into the bank, all the money had to be placed in his pockets.
As the time went by, Peter ran about 53 , trying to pick up as many large bills as he could find. When his time was up, he was out of breath, but was $5,000 richer.

Arthur Miller (1915-2005) is universally recognized as one of the greatest dramatists of the 20th century. Miller’s father had moved to the USA from Australia Hungary, drawn like so many others by the “Great American Dream”. However, he experienced severe financial hardship when his family business was ruined in the Great Depression of the early 1930s.
Miller's most famous play, Death of a Salesman, is a powerful attack on the American system, with its aggressive way of doing business and its insistence on money and social status as indicators of worth. In Willy Loman, the hero of the play, we see a man who has got into trouble with this system. Willy is “burnt out” and in the cruel world of business there is no room for sentiment: if he can't do the work, then he is no good to his employer, the Wagner Company, and he must go. Willy is painfully aware of this, and at a loss as to what to do with his lack of success. He refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills himself in the end.
When it was first staged in 1949, the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews, and it won the Tony Award for Best Play, the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award, and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. It was the first play to win all three of these major awards.

While I studied at school, I felt great difficulty in learning my Latin translations. I was always very slow in using a dictionary, and found it most difficult, while to other boys it seemed no 75 .
I formed an alliance with a boy in the Sixth Grade. He was very clever and could read Latin as easily as English. My friend for his part was almost as 76 troubled by the English essays he had to write for the headmaster as I was by these Latin words. We agreed together that he should 77 me my Latin translations and that I should do his essays. The arrangement worked wonderfully. The headmaster seemed quite satisfied with my work, and I had more time to myself in the morning. On the other hand, once a week 78 I had to compose the essays of my friend. For several months no difficulty appeared, but once we were nearly caught out.
One afternoon,the headmaster called my friend to discuss one essay with him in a lively spirit. “I was interested in this 79 you make here. I think you might have gone further. Tell me what you had in your mind.” The headmaster continued in this way for some time to fear of my friend. However, the headmaster, not wishing to turn an occasion of praise into one of fault-finding, finally let him go. He came back to me like a man who had had a very narrow 80 and I made up my mind to make every effort to study my translation.
75. A. trouble B. difference C. labor D. worry
76. A. very B. little C. much D. few
77. A. change B. take C. forgive D. tell
78. A. or so B. or else C. as usual D. as far
79. A. aim B. goal C. point D. opinion
80. A. surprise B. escape C. hope D. chance
C. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words.(在短文的空格内填入适当的词,使其内容通顺,每空格限填一词,首字母已给)(14分)
“When one of the doctors criticizes me, I get defensive. I feel like a child again, being scolded, and I want to explain that I’m not wrong,” says Viola, a nurse. This is a c 81 reaction to criticism, but not a good one. There are better ways of dealing with criticism.
1. Try to be objective (客观的). When Sol was criticized by his new e 82 for not having made a sale, Sol's reaction was to feel sorry for himself."I had put everything I had into making that sale," Sol says."And I felt that I had failed as a person. I had to learn through experience not to react like that to each f 83 ."
2. Take time to cool down. Rather than react at once to criticism, take some time to think over what was said. Your first q 84 should be whether the criticism is fair from the other person's position. The problem may be a simple misunderstanding of what you did or your reasons for doing it.
3. Take positive action. After you cool down, c 85 what you can do about the situation. The best answer may be "nothing". "I finally realized that my boss was having p 86 problems and taking them out on me because I was there, " says Sheila."His criticisms didn't really have anything to do with my work, so nothing I said or did was going to change them." In Sheila's case, the best way to deal with it was to leave her job. However, that's an extreme reaction. You may simply explain your opinion without e 87 an in-depth discussion. You may even decide that the battle isn't worth fighting this time. The key, in any case, is to have a reasonable plan.
D. Answer the questions.(根据短文内容回答下列问题)(12分)
Most of us have never thought about building an educational toy by ourselves. If we need a learning toy or something, we simply go to the nearest store and buy it. However, things are not as easy in third world countries. With families even having no food to put on the table, buying toys, especially the educational ones, is the last thing on the parents’ minds.
So how can one get these kids interested in science This was a question that worried the Indian engineer Arvind Gupta so much that he decided to give up a good job and spend his life making toys from trash, things that people no longer want or need!
Mr. Gupta began teaching in the 1970s. While still an engineering student at the Indian College of Technology, he volunteered to teach the children who could not afford to go to school. Upon graduation, he found a good job at India’s Tata Motors and spent the next five years designing cars.
But he soon realized that this was not something he wanted to do for the rest of his life. So he took a year’s training course and took part in the Hoshangabad Science Teaching Program whose aim was to make science fun and exciting for poor children using available materials.
Mr. Gupta found the whole project so satisfying that he decided to leave his high-paying job and focus his attention on designing educational toys that were not only cheap and easy to build, but are also full of scientific principles, so that children could get interested in this interesting subject.
When the Internet started becoming a more widespread learning tool, Mr. Gupta created a Toys from Trash website and also recorded over 250 YouTube videos.
Today, over 50,000 children and teachers visit the website daily to download the videos for the toy creations based on cool science. Some young children have become so inspired that they have even won international science competitions with the help of his creations.
