20.One day while shopping in a small town in southern California,it was my misfortune to be approached by a clerk.He seemed most unfriendly and not at all concerned about my intended purchase.I bought nothing,and marched angrily out of the store.
On the outside was a dark-skinned young man in his early twenties.His expressive brown eyes met and held mine,and in the next instant a beautiful,bright smile covered his face.I gave in immediately.The power of that broad smile dissolved all bitterness within me,and I felt the muscles in my own face happily responding.
"Beautiful day,isn't it?"I remarked,passing.Then I turned back."I really owe you a debt of thanks,"I said softly.
His smile deepened,but he made no attempt to answer.A Mexican woman and two men were standing nearby.The woman stepped forward and volunteered,"Sir,but he doesn't speak English.Do you want me to tell him something?"In that moment I felt transformed.The young man's smile had made a big person of me.My friendliness and good will toward all mankind stand ten feet tall.
"Yes,"my reply was enthusiastic and sincere,"tell him I said,‘Thank you!'"
"Thank you?"The woman seemed slightly puzzled.
I gave her arm a friendly pat as I turned to leave."Just tell him that,"I insisted."He'll understand.I am sure!"
Oh,what a smile can do!Although I have never seen that young man again,I shall never forget the lesson he taught me that morning.From that day on,I became smile-conscious,and I practice the art diligently anywhere and everywhere,with everybody.

10.Prejudice is a preconceived opinion that is not based on fact or reason.Examples of prejudice in schools include believing that some students are particular type of people simply because of the way they dress or act,or believing that a certain group is good at sports simply because many peop1e in that group are goad at sports.Another example is believing that a boy is good at science because many boys are good at science.
    I would like to cite more examples from the English literature.The best example of"prejudice"can be found in Jane Austen's novels.Her novels in the history of English literature are popularly known as"novels of manners".Thus you can clearly understand that where manners and social behavior are concerned,"prejudice"is inevitable!Austen's famous novel Pride and Prejudice is the best example in this respect.When you read the novel,the very first line that would strike you is"it is a truth universally acknowledged,that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife."It is an example of 18th century English middle class prejudice that eventually looked upon women just as an object that would serve as the basic sign for a man to establish his manliness and his superior and well acquired financial status.This novel is chiefly about class division,social norms and the consequent human behavior.The characters Elizabeth and Darcy,in their journey of 1ife through the course of the novel,highlight their personal prejudices towards one another that arise from their different social strata(階層).Darcy,a rich man,at first,fails to admire the beauty and intelligence of Elizabeth because of her low social status:"she is tolerable; but not handsome enough to tempt me;"and Elizabeth,proud of her"first impressions",failed to understand the well natured man under the proud and unfriendly Darcy.
33.What is"prejudice"defined in this passage?C
 A.Prejudice is a reasonable idea that is based on one's own experience.
 B.Prejudice is a preference for one group of people or things over another.
 C.Prejudice is a preconceived opinion before becoming aware of fact or reason.
 D.Prejudice is an unreasonable dislike of a particular group of people or things.
34.The underlined word"inevitable"in the second paragraph probably_meansA.
A.unavoidable   B.reasonable   C.unbelievable   D.valuable
35.From the novel Pride and Prejudice,we can't learn thatB.
A.where manners and social behavior are concerned"prejudice"is inevitable
B."prejudice"was defined and compared with"pride"in 18th century
C.it's about class division,social norms and the consequent human behavior
D.personal prejudices towards one another arise from different social strata.

11.Lumberjack Art
When people think of an artist,they probably do not imagine a lumberjack(伐木工人)cutting down trees with a chainsaw.Yet many lumberjacks consider themselves to be artists. Instead of.patiently working on a large block of hard rock,however,lumberjack artists use chainsaws to carve their,masterpieces from wood.
Wooden,sculptures (雕塑) created with chainsaws are perfect examples of folk art. Everyday tools are used to create art that focuses on subjects found in nature,such as bears or other forest animals.Not all lumberjacks are artists,but some chainsaw artists have been lumberjacks.
A lumberjack,who is also an artist might cut down a tree during a workday.If the stump,the bottom of the tree,is a good size,the artist might be motivated to sculpt the stump into the shape of a forest animal.The chainsaw artist might also carve other large blocks of wood.Sometimes a homeowner might cut down a tree in the yard and then hire a chainsaw artist to create an outdoor sculpture from the stump.So,this art owes its origins to everyday tasks and nature.
The origins of chainsaw art may be humble (不起眼的),but the practice has expanded well beyond turning a stump into a sculpture.In some ways chainsaw artists are like traditional woodcarvers.One artist said that using chainsaws was simply more practical.This person began his work as a traditional woodcarver-that is,he used hand tools to.carve the wood into the shapes he wanted.To save time,he began using a chainsaw to remove some parts of the wooden block.This artist realized that the chainsaw not only cut down large pieces of wood quickly,but also produced a distinctive and beautiful pattern on-the:wood.These patterns would not be seen in other pieces of art.Eventually,the artist began using the chainsaw for nearly all of his carvings.
However unusual it may seem,chainsaw art is here to stay.The final test of success for any type of art is the enthusiasm and acceptance of the public.The conclusion is; people love watching chainsaw artists work,and people love the sculptures they create.
60.What do we know about chainsaw artists?C
A.They are originally traditional lumberjacks.
B.They create masterpieces in woods and forests.
C.They introduce a new concept of artists to people.
D.They produce their sculptures while cutting down trees.
61.Chainsaw artA
A.is a kind of folk art                     B.is hard to be spread
C.focuses on modern themes               D.needs time to be mastered
62.What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 4?D
A.The origins of the lumberjack art.
B.The experiences of a chainsaw artist.
C.The procedure for creating a chainsaw sculpture.
D.The application of chainsaw in the lumberjack art.
