The McGaritys have money but they are so proud. They look down upon the poor. The McGarity girl just yesterday stood out there in the street eating from a bag of candy while a ring of hungry children watched her. I saw those children looking at her and crying in their hearts; and when she couldn’t eat any more she threw the rest down the sewer(下水道). Why , is it only because they have money? There is more to happiness than money in the world, isn’t there?

I had to knock on the taxi to get his attention.Finally, the driver, a man about 60, looked up from behind the wheel and apologized, " I'm sorry, but I was reading a letter." He sounded as if he had a cold or a cough.

Since I was in no hurry, I told him to finish his letter.He shook his head, explaining that he had already read it several times and almost knew it by heart.Curious, I asked whether it was from a child or maybe a grandchild." This isn't family," he replied, " though he might just as well have been a regular member of the family.Old Ed and I grew up together."

They were always friends.But since he moved away from the neighborhood 30 years ago, it'd generally just been postcards at Christmas time between them.A couple of weeks ago, Ed died."1 should have kept in touch." He repeated this, more to himself than to me.To comfort him, I said sometimes we just didn't seem to find the time."But we used to find the time," he said."Take a look." He handed the letter over to me.

The first sentence " I've been meaning to write for some time, but I've always delayed it." reminded me of myself.It went on to say that he often thought about the good times they had had together.When I read the part where it said "Your friendship really means a lot to me, more than I can say because I'm not good at saying things like that" , I found myself nodding in agreement.

We had gone several kilometers and were almost at my hotel, so I read the last paragraph: "So I thought you'd like to know that I was thinking of you." And it was ended with "Your Old Friend, Tom."

"I thought your friend's name was Ed," I said.

"I'm Tom," he explained."It's a letter I wrote to Ed before I knew he'd died.I never put it in the mailbox.I guess I should have written it sooner." His face was pale as he wiped his eyes with a handkerchief.

When I got to my hotel room I didn't unpack right away.I had to write a letter and post it.

49.Who wrote the letter?

A.Old Ed.        B.Tom.       C.The author.        D.The driver's grandchild.

50.It can be inferred from the passage that the driver regretted ______.

52.What message does the passage probably try to convey?

In our culture, the sources of what we call a sense of "mastery"—feeling important and worthwhile—and the sources of what we call a sense of "pleasure"—finding life enjoyable—are not always the same.Women often are told "You can't have it all." Sometimes what the speaker really is saying is: "You choose a career, so you can't expect to have closer relationships or a happy family life." or "You have a wonderful husband and children—what's all this about wanting a career?" But women need to understand and develop both aspects of well-being, if they are to feel good about themselves.

Our study shows that, for women, well-being(康乐) has two aspects.One is mastery, which includes self-respect, a sense of control over your life, and low levels of anxiety and depression.Mastery is closely related to the "doing" side of life, to work and activity.Pleasure is the other aspect, and it is made up of happiness, satisfaction and optimism.It is tied more closely to the "feeling" side of life.The two are independent of each other.A woman could be high in mastery and low in pleasure, and vice versa (反之亦然) .For example, a woman who has a good job, but whose mother has just died, might be feeling very good about herself and in control of her work life, but the pleasure side could be damaged for a time.

The concepts of mastery and pleasure can help us identify the sources of well-being for women, and correct past mistakes.In the past, women were encouraged to look only at the feeling side of life as the source of all well-being.But we know that both mastery and pleasure are important.And mastery seems to be achieved largely through work.In our study, all the groups of employed women are valued significantly higher in mastery than women who are not employed.

A woman's well-being is developed when she takes on multiple (多项的) roles.At least by middle adulthood, the women who are involved in a combination of roles —marriages, motherhood, and employment —are the highest in well-being, in spite of warnings about stress and strain.

53.It can be inferred from the first paragraph that¬.______

A.a sense of "mastery" and a sense of "pleasure" are both necessary to women

B.for women, a sense of "pleasure" is more important than a sense of "mastery"

C.women can't have a sense of "mastery" and a sense of "pleasure" at the same time

D.for women, a sense of "mastery" is more important than a sense of "pleasure"

54.The author's attitude towards women having a career is ______.

A.negative       B.realistic       C.neutral(中立)    D. positive

55.One can conclude from the passage that if a woman takes on several social roles, ______

A.her chances of getting promoted will be greater

B.she will be more successful in her career

C.her life will be richer and more meaningful

D.it will be easier for her to overcome stress and strain

56.The title for the passage would be ______.

A.The Well-Being of Career Women    B.Two Aspects of Women's Well-Being

C.Sources of Mastery and Pleasure     D.Multiple Roles of Women in Society

I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt’s house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.

I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.

The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to ‘‘the hard times”.

My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.

From my experiences 1 have learned one important rule: almost all common troubles eventually go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.

A. confused         B. worried          C. excited          D. amazed

58. For the first two years in New York, the author _________.

A. studied in three different schools       B. did not think about her future
