Before he became president, Abraham Lincoln spent twenty years as an unsuccessful Illinois lawyer —at least, in financial fields. Legends (傳奇) are often untrue, but Lincoln was the real thing. During his years as a lawyer, there were hundreds of examples of his kindness and honesty.
For example, Lincoln didn’t like to charge the poor who were as poor as he was. Once an old man gave him twenty-five dollars, but Lincoln sent him back ten, saying he was being too generous. He often persuaded the people who came to his office to settle their issues (問題) out of court, thereby saving them a lot of money and earning nothing himself.
He and his partner once prevented a mentally ill girl from being cheated off her land. The case took fifteen minutes, and the girl’s brother was completely satisfied. When his partner came to divide up their fee, Lincoln criticized him and said, "The money comes out of the pocket of a poor, mentally ill girl. I would rather starve than cheat her in this manner. You return half the money at least, or I won’t take a cent of it as my share."
Kindness and honesty make you feel good about yourself and create trust in others. It’s not very fashionable these days to talk about the benefits of kindness and honesty, but the benefits are there and are valuable. He often said, "When I do good, I feel good, and when I do bad, I feel bad. That’s my belief."
36. From the passage, we can know that Lincoln ____.
A. charged poor people nothing
B. was very rich when he was a lawyer
C. did not like money
D. helped the poor as much as possible
37. What do we learn from the third paragraph?
A. The girl’s problem was very difficult to settle.
B. He criticized his partner for accepting too much money.
C. The girl’s brother was very generous.
D. Lincoln’s partner got at least half the money from the girl’s case.
38. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Lincoln got a lot of money from those who came to him.
B. The legends of famous people are always untrue.
C. Lincoln believed that kindness and honesty were valuable.
D. It is popular to talk about the benefits of honesty.
39. Which is the best title for the passage?

B. Abraham Lincoln’s Belief

The repairman told me, “No charge Professor Pan! We’re friends.” “I’d rather pay,” I replied.“If it’s free, I can’t afford it!”
Chinese often refuse payment for professional services, insisting, "We’re friends now!" But then they show up later to ask me to tutor them in English, or get them into an American university, and I wish I’d have just paid the 30 yuan I owed them in the first place!
According to the Americans, "There’s no free lunch," meaning that there’s a price for everything, and I’m always looking around to figure out what this means.Many of our neighbours have given us fruit or flowers or costly teas, never asking anything in return.For years, a bicycle repairman has repeatedly refused to let me pay him."Wait until you have something major to fix! "he insists.
I mentioned to a peasant friend that I wished I had a stone mill to grind(磨)flour for bread.A month later he showed up with a beautiful mill that he’d had his uncle in the countryside carve from a solid block of granite(花崗石).
Chinese generosity(慷慨)is a real education for Americans like me, who would rather avoid social entanglements (糾紛) and just hand over the money.But cash can’t compensate(補(bǔ)償)for the greatest gift--friendship.
When an American saw some of my friends sitting on bamboo stools under the trees, sipping(呷)tea, he said, "They  must have nothing better to do.""Actually, "I said, "they are professors, with plenty to do.But probably you’re right in saying that, at this moment, they have nothing better to do.And neither do I!" And I joined the group.We chatted about tea and Chinese cooking and how much my boys have grown since we arrived.One man said, "They were pocket-sized when you came here.Now
they’re taller than you.How time flies!"
How life flies.And Chinese are smart enough to share what they know they cannot keep.They freely give of their time, never too busy to help a friend.And they are teaching me, slowly, to both give and receive.So the next time someone says, "No charge.We’re friends! " I will thank them heartily.But if they show up later asking me to tutor them in English, I’ll make sure they tutor my son in Chinese as well, because there’s still no free lunch.
64.The author insisted on paying repairman while he was offered free repairs because he     .
A.was an honest man
B.didn’t know the repairman
C.thought it natural to pay for others’ service
D.didn’t want to help others in return
65.Generally, the author thinks that Chinese are _________.
A.generous and always ready to help their friends
B.good at exchange of equal values
C.free enough to drink tea and chat with their friends
D.helpful but don’t treasure time
66.The best title of the passage should be “       ”.
A.Learn to Both Give And Receive    B.A Good Lesson from Chinese
C.True Help or Not                   D.Still No Free Lunch
67.Which of the following is TRUE?
A.The Chinese would rather not take the money to avoid problems in social communication.
B.When a peasant knew the author needed a mill, he made one for the author himself.
C.The author thinks that Chinese are wise enough to enjoy the limited life.
D.The author thinks little of Chinese way of life.

While staying with a family, I found their teenage son, David, aged 16, didn’t share his true feelings with his parents. If his parents were present when I asked him how he felt about things, he would look down or away or say something unrelated such as, "Today, I will go out. "or "Okay, I guess. "However, when we were alone he would open up and tell me how he felt. For example, while sitting at the dinner table, I asked him how he felt about his history class and the teacher. He thought for a moment but said nothing. I thought he was afraid to answer in front of his parents, so later I asked him again in private. He said, "On a scale (級(jí)別) of 0-10, it is a big fat zero. He is the most boring teacher I have ever had. "I asked him why he didn’t tell me this earlier. He said it was because his parents didn’t want to hear that. They just wanted to hear that everything was wonderful and they always told him to stop complaining.
This made me think a lot. My belief is that children are born with the desire to share feelings. I also believe they are born with perfect emotional honesty. Unfortunately, such valuable things are disappearing gradually. It really is a great loss, which I believe, will negatively affect both the children’s ability to know about themselves and their success in future relationships.
I see the situation as a missed opportunity, an opportunity for parents to get closer to their children, an opportunity to understand their children and to help them feel understood; however, communication gaps (分歧) have been made. Parents are more interested in "correcting" their children’s ways of expressing themselves than in getting to know their children.
70. We can know from the passage that _________.
A. David is not good at talking  B. David likes showing his true feelings in public
C. David hates his parents      D. David dislikes his history teacher
71. According to the author, children who don’t show their true feelings ____________.
A. won’t succeed in their future careers
B. will not have good relationship with their parents
C. won’t have clear ideas of themselves
D. will have no difficulty getting along with others
72. The author thinks that parents should ____________.
A. stop complaining about their children
B. try to understand their children’s true feelings
C. find more ways to communicate with their children
D. correct their children’s ways of communication
