People enjoy talking about “firsts”. They like to remember their first love or their first car. But not all firsts are happy ones.
One of history’s bad but important firsts was the first car accident. Cars were still young when it happened. The accident took place in New York City in May 1896. A man from Massachusetts was visiting the city in his new car. At the time, bicycle riders were still trying to get used to the new set of wheels on the road. No one was sure who was to blame(责备) for it . Anyway, the bike and the car hit each other hard. The man on the bike was injured. The driver of the car had to stay in jail and wait for the hospital report on the bicycle rider. Luckily the rider was not killed.
Three years later, another car accident took place. It was again in New York City. A man named Henry Bliss stepped off a streetcar. He was hit by a passing car. Once again, no one was sure just how it happened or whose fault(过失)it was. The driver of the car was put in jail. Poor Mr Bliss became the first person to die in a car accident.

(D)
We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen ” “When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend Or did he envy my luck ” “And Paul—why didn’t pick up that he was friendly just because I had a car ” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it’s too late.
Why do we go wrong about our friends—or our enemies Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don’t really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “You’re a lucky dog.” That’s being friendly. But “lucky dog” There’s a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn’t see it himself. But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck.
“Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for” is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn’t important. It’s telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven’t got a date for Saturday night.
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks Does what he says agree with the tone of voice His posture The look in his eyes Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.
69. This passage is mainly about .
A. how to interpret what people say
B. what to do when you listen to others talking
C. how to avoid mistakes when you communicate with people
D. why we go wrong with people sometimes
70. According to the author, the reason why we go wrong about our friends is that .
A. we fail to listen carefully when they talk
B. people tend to be annoyed when we check what they say
C. people usually state one thing but mean another
D. we tend to doubt what our friends say
71. In the sentence “Maybe he doesn’t see it himself.” In the second paragraph, the pronoun “it” refers to .
A. being friendly B. a bit of envy C. lucky dog D. your luck
72. When we listen to a person talking, the most important thing for us to do is to .
A. notice the way the person is talking B. take a good look at the person talking
C. mind his tone, his posture and the look in his eyes
D. examine the real meaning of what he says based on his manner, his tone and his posture
四) 找出下列英语单词的最佳解释
73. achieve A. catch
74. likely B. a ship that can travel underwater
75. grasp C. work too much
76. misplace D. succeed
77. overwork E. put in the wrong place
78. submarine F. possible
五) 阅读填空题 阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容完成填空题 ，每空不能超过三个单词.
Why must we pay taxes The answer is that the government needs money for many things, for example, to pay its soldiers, sailors and airmen, to build roads, bridges, offices, schools, etc, and to buy goods from abroad; and only the people of the country can supply the money.
One of the most important taxes is income-tax which a person pays according to the amount of his income, whether he is a merchant, a doctor, a lawyer, a shopkeeper, a miner or anything else. This is called a “direct” tax, because it is paid in money directly to the government.
Another tax is paid on goods such as watches, jewelry, new clothes, tobacco, wine, etc, when they are brought into a country. Such a tax is paid as part of the price of these goods if they are late sold in shops. We call it “indirect” tax, because it is paid indirectly through the shopkeepers.
People usually complain about having to pay taxes, but they forget that the money is spent on things that they and their families need. We need policemen to catch thieves, to see that men obey the laws, to direct traffic, etc, and they must be paid what they earn; children need education and there must be schools and teachers; we want our streets to be kept clean, and the wages of men who do this kind of work have to be paid. Above all, the country must always be ready to defend itself against attacking enemies, and we can’t have an army without paying for it. Besides, if a country wants to develop, there are many other things to do…
Taxes, therefore, cannot be avoided. We buy our food and clothes and pay for our amusements; but, there are several things that the State finds the money for, and that is necessary for us if our society is to continue. We have no real reason to complain, therefore, when we are asked to supply money to be spent for the good of ourselves and for our fellow-citizens.
Title: 79. ________
Governments Having many things to do → 80. Tax is_________
81. _______ 82. ______ People → Taxes
84._______ Tax-payers
Direct tax People whose income is over a certain amount
85._______ The shopkeeper
83. ______ Taxes → people
On safety Policemen and soldiers
86. _______ Teachers and schools
On service Officials and workers
87. ________ …
88. _______ Taxes can not be avoided

Hello, everyone. It’s nice to speak about what we can do for our school, and I
think each of us can do something.
The first thing we can do is to make our campus more beautiful. Every one of us
may plant a tree in the school, or organize a thorough cleaning on the campus. We
can also form a good habit of putting the rubbish in the trashcan.
The second thing we can do is to protect the facilities in our school. When we
leave the classroom, we should never forget to turn off the light or close the door.
We should not leave the tap water running or waste any materials in the
laboratory class.
If everyone does one thing for our school, I believe we will turn our school into a
better place to study and live in.
Thank you for listening!

Three years later, another car accident took place. It was again in New York City. A man named Henry Bliss stepped off a streetcar. He was hit by a passing car.

We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen ” “When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend Or did he envy my luck ” “And Paul—why didn’t pick up that he was friendly just because I had a car ” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it’s too late.
Why do we go wrong about our friends—or our enemies Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don’t really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “You’re a lucky dog.” That’s being friendly. But “lucky dog” There’s a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn’t see it himself. But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck.
“Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for” is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn’t important. It’s telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven’t got a date for Saturday night.
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks Does what he says agree with the tone of voice His posture The look in his eyes Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.
69. This passage is mainly about .
A. how to interpret what people say
B. what to do when you listen to others talking
C. how to avoid mistakes when you communicate with people
D. why we go wrong with people sometimes
70. According to the author, the reason why we go wrong about our friends is that .
A. we fail to listen carefully when they talk
B. people tend to be annoyed when we check what they say
C. people usually state one thing but mean another
D. we tend to doubt what our friends say
71. In the sentence “Maybe he doesn’t see it himself.” In the second paragraph, the pronoun “it” refers to .
A. being friendly B. a bit of envy C. lucky dog D. your luck
72. When we listen to a person talking, the most important thing for us to do is to .
A. notice the way the person is talking B. take a good look at the person talking
C. mind his tone, his posture and the look in his eyes
D. examine the real meaning of what he says based on his manner, his tone and his posture

Why must we pay taxes The answer is that the government needs money for many things, for example, to pay its soldiers, sailors and airmen, to build roads, bridges, offices, schools, etc, and to buy goods from abroad; and only the people of the country can supply the money.
One of the most important taxes is income-tax which a person pays according to the amount of his income, whether he is a merchant, a doctor, a lawyer, a shopkeeper, a miner or anything else. This is called a “direct” tax, because it is paid in money directly to the government.
Another tax is paid on goods such as watches, jewelry, new clothes, tobacco, wine, etc, when they are brought into a country. Such a tax is paid as part of the price of these goods if they are late sold in shops. We call it “indirect” tax, because it is paid indirectly through the shopkeepers.
People usually complain about having to pay taxes, but they forget that the money is spent on things that they and their families need. We need policemen to catch thieves, to see that men obey the laws, to direct traffic, etc, and they must be paid what they earn; children need education and there must be schools and teachers; we want our streets to be kept clean, and the wages of men who do this kind of work have to be paid. Above all, the country must always be ready to defend itself against attacking enemies, and we can’t have an army without paying for it. Besides, if a country wants to develop, there are many other things to do…
Taxes, therefore, cannot be avoided. We buy our food and clothes and pay for our amusements; but, there are several things that the State finds the money for, and that is necessary for us if our society is to continue. We have no real reason to complain, therefore, when we are asked to supply money to be spent for the good of ourselves and for our fellow-citizens.

Hello, everyone. It’s nice to speak about what we can do for our school, and I
think each of us can do something.
The first thing we can do is to make our campus more beautiful. Every one of us
may plant a tree in the school, or organize a thorough cleaning on the campus. We
can also form a good habit of putting the rubbish in the trashcan.
The second thing we can do is to protect the facilities in our school. When we
leave the classroom, we should never forget to turn off the light or close the door.
We should not leave the tap water running or waste any materials in the
laboratory class.
If everyone does one thing for our school, I believe we will turn our school into a
better place to study and live in.
Thank you for listening!
