　　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 Paulwhy 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 friendsor 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 they 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 (姿態)? 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.

1．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

We all have storms through our lives. But we have no right to make everyone else suffer with our own   31  .

     The carpenter I   32   to help me restore an old farmhouse had just finished a(n)   33   first day on the job. A flat tire made him lose an hour of work, his electric saw quit, and now his truck   34   to start.

    While I drove him home, he sat in stony    35   .

    On arriving, he invited me in to meet his family. As we walked toward the front door, he paused   36    at a small tree,   37   tips of the branches with both hands.

    When opening the door, he underwent a(n)   38   transformation. His tanned face was wreathed in smiles, and he   39    his two small children and gave his wife a kiss.

    The next day my   40   drove me to ask him about what I had seen. “Oh, that’s my trouble tree,” he replied. “I know I can’t   41   having troubles on the job, but the troubles don’t   42   to the house with my family. So I just   43   them up on the tree. Then in the morning I pick them up again.”

    “  44   thing ！,” he smiled, “when I come out in the morning to pick them up, there aren’t nearly as   45   as I remember the night before.”

    Putting   46   around our problems is a really good idea --- it prevents our difficulties from spilling over onto loved people, who can’t do anything about our problems. Why    47   them if they can’t help us?

    So, plant yourself a trouble tree outside and use it   48   you come home. Be grateful that you have loved ones to go home to    49   your loved one is simply your beloved dog. And when you picked up your troubles on the way each morning, be   50   that they’re not as heavy as they were the night before.

Dear Johnston,

       Your request for eighty dollars, I do not think it best to satisfy now. At the various times when I have helped you a little, you have said to me, “We can get along very well again,” but in a very short time I find you in the same difficulty again. Now this can only happen by some fault in your behavior. What that fault is, I think I know. You are not lazy, and still you are an idler(游手好閑). I doubt whether since I saw you, you have done a good whole day’s work, in any other day. You do not very much dislike to work, and still you do not work much, merely because it does not seem to you that you could get much for it.

This habit of uselessly wasting time is the whole difficulty; it is vastly important to you, and still more so to your children, that you should break this habit. It is more important to them, because they have longer to live, and can keep out of an idle habit before they are in it, easier than they can get out after they are in.

You are now in need of some ready money; and what I suggest is, that you shall go to work hard, for somebody who will give you money for it.

Let father and your boys take charge of your things at home-prepare for a crop, and make the crop, and you go to work for the best money wages, or to pay back any debt you owe. And to secure you a fair reward for your labor, I now promise you that for every dollar you will, between this and the first of May, get for your own labor, I will then give you one other dollar. By this, if you hire yourself at ten dollars a month, from me you will get ten more, making twenty dollars a month for your work.

Now if you will do this, you will soon be out of debt, and what is better, you will have a habit that will keep you from getting in debt again. But if I should now clear you out, next year you will be just as deep in as ever. You say you would almost give your place in Heaven for $ 70 or $80. Then you value your place in Heaven cheaply, for I am sure you can with the offer I make you get the seventy or eighty dollars for four or five months’ work. You say if I furnish you the money you will deed(抵押) me the land, and if you don’t pay the money back, you will deliver possession-Nonsense! If you can’t now live with the land, how will you then live without it? You have always been kind to me, and I do not now mean to be unkind to you. On the contrary, if you will but follow my advice, you will find it worth more than eight time eighty dollars to you.

               Affectionately

  Your brother

   A. Lincoln

　　It is said that standardized testing harms children. The tests upset pupils and make them fear. If a pupil gets a low score he will be seriously damaged. Standardized testing is not agreeable to the regular educational orders designed to support the child.

　　There is, no doubt, anecdotal(軼事)evidence to support some of these views. However, common sense suggests that the majority of pupils are not harmed by testing, and as far as I know there is no real data that would not support common sense on this matter. The teachers I talk with seem much more often, to be concerned with pupils who don't care enough how well or how poorly they do on such tests, than with the relatively rare facts of pupils who care too much.

　　It is normal to be somewhat anxious when facing my real tests. But it is also necessary part of growing up to learn to deal with the tests that life certainly brings. Of the many challenges to a child's peace of mind, caused by such things as angry parents, bad dogs and shots from the doctor, standardized tests must surely be among the least fearsome. Unwise parental pressure can in some cases raise anxiety to harmful levels. A pupil who regularly get slow scores on tests of what that pupil has tried hard to learn is indeed likely to become discouraged. If this does happen, the school cannot declare to be offering a good educational program, and the teacher cannot declare to be doing a good job of teaching. Most low scores on tests, however, go to pupils who, for one reason or another, have not tried very hard to learn. In the opinion of the teachers of such pupils, it is the trying rather than the testing that is most in need of correction.

1．What is the main idea of the passage about the view that standardized tests harm children?

[　　]

A．The writer considers it be reasonable.

B．The writer thinks it unreasonable.

C．The writer finds some anecdotal evidence to support it.

D．It has been proved by some real data.

2．According to the writer, the reason for the most low scores on tests is that ________.

[　　]

A．the pupils do not study hard

B．The educational program is not good enough

C．The teachers are not doing a good job of teaching

D．The pupils don't care enough how well or how poorly they do on such tests
