　Engineering students are supposed to be examples of practicality and rationality, but when it comes to my college education I am an idealist and a fool. In high school I wanted to be an electrical engineer and, of course, any sensible student with my aims would have chosen a college with a large engineering department, famous reputation and lots of good labs and research equipment. But that’s not what I did.
　　I chose to study engineering at a small liberal-arts（文科）university that doesn’t even offer a major in electrical engineering. Obviously, this was not a practical choice; I came here for more noble reasons. I wanted a broad education that would provide me with flexibility and a value system to guide me in my career. I wanted to open my eyes and expand my vision by interacting with people who weren’t studying science or engineering. My parents, teachers and other adults praised me for such a sensible choice. They told me I was wise and mature beyond my 18 years, and I believed them.
　　I headed off to college sure I was going to have an advantage over those students who went to big engineering “factories” where they didn’t care if you have values or were flexible. I was going to be a complete engineer: technical genius and sensitive humanist（人文學(xué)者）all in one.
　　Now I’m not so sure. Somewhere along the way my noble ideals crashed into reality, as all noble ideals eventually do. After three years of struggling to balance math, physics and engineering courses with liberal-arts courses, I have learned there are reasons why few engineering students try to reconcile（協(xié)調(diào)）engineering with liberal-arts courses in college.
　　The reality that has blocked my path to become the typical successful student is that engineering and the liberal arts simply don’t’ mix as easily as I assumed in high school. Individually they shape a person in very different ways; together they threaten to confuse. The struggle to reconcile the two fields of study is difficult.

Some people don't believe that driving more slowly can save lives. But the truth is that driving more slowly can help a person to avoid serious accidents.

The following chart shows the distance that it takes to stop a car at a given speed. The distance is measured in feet. The shaded area shows the driver's thinking distance. That's the distance it takes for the driver to react to a danger that he sees. The white area shows the car's braking distance. That's the distance it takes for the car to stop once the brakes are used. The number at the top of each bar shows the total number of feet that it takes to stop the car.

The young boy saw me, or rather, he saw the car and quickly ran up to me, eager to sell his hunches (串) of bananas and bags of peanuts．Though he appeared to be about twelve, he seemed to have already known the bitterness of life．“Banana 300 naira．Peanuts 200 naira.” He said in a low voice．I bargained him down to 200 total for the fruit and nuts．When he agreed, I handed him a 500 naira bill．He didn’t have change, so I told him not to worry．He said thanks and smiled a row of perfect teeth.

When, two weeks later, I saw the boy again, I was more aware of my position in a society where it’s not that uncommon to see a little boy who should be in school standing on the corner selling fruit in the burning sun．My parents had raised me to be aware of the advantage we had been afforded and the responsibility it brought to us. I pulled over and rolled down my window．He had a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts ready．I waved them away．“What’s up?” I asked him．“I … I don’t have money to buy books for school.” I reached into my pocket and handed him two fresh 500 naira bills．“Will this help?” I asked．He looked around nervously before taking the money．One thousand naira was a lot of money to someone whose family probably made about 5,000 naira or less each year．“Thank you, sir,” he said．“Thank you very much!”

When driving home, I wondered if my little friend actually used the money for schoolbooks．What if he’s a swindler (騙子)? And then I wondered why I did it．Did I do it to make myself feel better? Was I using him? Later, I realized that I didn’t know his name or the least bit about him, nor did I think to ask.

Over the next six months, I was busy working in a news agency in northern Nigeria．Sometime after I returned, I went out for a drive．When I was about to pull over, the boy suddenly appeared by my window with a big smile ready on his face.

“Oh, gosh! Long time.”

“Are you in school now?” I asked. He nodded. “That’s good,” I said．A silence fell as we looked at each other, and then I realized what he wanted．“Here,” I held out a 500 naira bill．“Take this.” He shook his head and stepped back as if hurt．“What’s wrong?” I asked．“It’s a gift.” He shook his head again and brought his hand from behind his back．His face shone with sweat (汗水)．He dropped a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts in the front seat before he said, “I’ve been waiting to give these to you.”

46．What was the author’s first impression of the boy?

       A．He seemed to be poor and greedy．B．He seemed to have suffered a lot.

       C．He seemed younger than his age     D．He seemed good at bargaining.

47．The second time the author met the boy, the boy _____.

       A．told him his purpose of selling fruit and nuts 

       B．wanted to express his thanks

       C．a(chǎn)sked him for money for his schoolbooks    

       D．tried to take advantage of him

48．Why did the author give his money to the boy?

       A．Because he had enough money to do that.

       B．Because he had learnt to help others since childhood.

       C．Because he held a higher position in the society.

       D．Because he had been asked by the news agency to do so.

49．Which of the following best describes the boy?

Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.

Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger.

For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person's health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones (荷爾蒙).They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc．In general the person feels excited and ready to act.

Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.

Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”

Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.

41． “Damaging emotion” means that _________.  

       A．the emotion is harmless           B．the emotion is harmful

A．Were you angry, you would be cancered (得癌癥).

B．Once you are angry, you must be cancered.

C．Angry as you are often, you can't be cancered,            

D．Anger may cause you a cancer.

43. Expressing anger violently _________ repressing it according to some scientists.

       A．is just the same as                 B．is more harmful than                           

       C．is no better than                     D．is much better than

       A．never be angry

45. The passage may be taken from _________.

When we read books we seem to enter a new world. This new world can be similar to the one we are living in, or it can be very __2 1_. Some stories are told   __22__ they were true. Real people who live in a __23__ world do real things; in other words, the stories are about people just like us doing what we do. Other stories, such as the Harry Potter books, are not  __24__ . They are characters and creatures that are very different from us and do things that would be   __25__ for us.

But there is more to books and writing than this. If we think about it, even realistic writing is only   __26__. How can we tell the difference between what is real and what is not real? For example, when we read about Harry Potter ,we   __27__ seem to learn something about the real world. And when Harry studies magic at Hogwarts, he also learns more about his real life than   __28__. Reading, like writing, is an action. It is a way of  __ 29_. When we read or write something ,we do much more than simple look at words on a page. We use our __30__--which is real―and our imagination―which is real in a different way --- to make the words come to life in our minds.

Both realism and fantasy(幻想) __ 31__ the imagination and the “magic” of reading and writing to make us think. When we read  __32__ realistic, we have to imagine that the people we are reading about are just like us, even though we __33__ that we are real and they are __34__. It sounds __35__ , but it works. When we read, we fill in missing information and __36__ about the causes and effects of what a character does. We help the writer by __37_ that what we read is like real life. In a way, we are writing the book, too.

Most of us probably don’t think about what is going on in our __38__ when we are reading. We pick up a book and lose __39_ in a good story, eager to find out what will happen next. Knowing how we feel __40__ we read can help us become better readers, and it will help us discover more about the real magic of books.

The book is _____ boring. It is, in fact, rather exciting and fascinating.

   A. anything but    B. nothing but     C. no more time     D. all but
