I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as Mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.
Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk”, she said, “is for Elizabeth”.
I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me, she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart - to - heart talks between mother and daughter.
They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional”（感情易激动的）. But she lived “on the surface（表面）”
As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive（原谅）me.
I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.
My hope turned to disappointment（失望），then little interest, finally, peace- it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
Now the present of her desk told me, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work, I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside - a photo of my father and a one - page letter, folded and refolded many times.
Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose, Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.
59. The writer began to love her mother’s desk________.
A. after Mother died B. before she became a writer
C. when she was a child D. when Mother gave it to her
60. The passage shows that__________.
A. Mother wrote her daughter in careful words
B. Mother cared much about her daughter in words
C. Mother was too serious about everything her daughter had done
D. Mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter
61. The word “gulf” in the passage means________.
A. part of the sea going far in land
B. free talks between mother and daughter
C. different ideas between the mother and the daughter
D. deep understanding between the old and the young
62. What did Mother do with her daughter’s letter asking for forgiveness?
A. She had never received the letter.
B. She read the letter again and till she died.
C. For years, she often talked about the letter.
D. She didn’t forgive her daughter at all in her life.
63. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. My letter to Mother B. Mother and Children
C. My Mother’s Desk D. Talks between Mother and Me
C
Anxiety is the appropriate（适当的）emotion when the immediate personal terror—of a volcano, an arrow, a stab（刺伤）in the back and other disasters, all directed against one’s self-disappears.
The kind of world that produces anxiety is actually a world of relative safety, a world in which no one feels that he himself is facing sudden death. The anxiety exists as an uneasy state of mind, in which one has a feeling that something unspecified（不具体的）and indeterminable may go wrong. If the world seems to be going well, this produces anxiety—for good times may end. If the world is going badly—it may get worse. Anxiety tends to be without focus; the anxious person doesn’t know whether to blame himself or other people. He isn’t sure whether it is the current year of the administration or a change in climate or the atom bomb that is to blame for this undefined sense of unease.
It is clear that we have developed a society which depends on having the right amount of anxiety to make it work…While we agree that too much anxiety is harmful to mental health, we have come to rely on anxiety to push us into seeing a doctor about a symptom（症状）which may indicate cancer, into checking up on that old life-insurance policy which may have out-of-date provisions in it, into having a conference with Billy’s teacher even though his report card looks all right.
People who are anxious enough keep their car insurance up, have the brakes checked, don’t take a second drink when they have to drive. People who are too anxious either refuse to go into cars at all—and so complicate the ordinary course of life—or drive so tensely and carefully that they help cause accidents. People who aren’t anxious enough take chance after chance, which increases the terrible accidents of the roads.
64. According to the author, anxiety is the emotion when .
A. one is filled with a sudden sense of uneasiness B. one sees no immediate danger
C. one has a vague sense about his life D. one feels that the world may go badly
65. The author holds that .
A. anxiety is a good thing
B. anxiety is a symptom of mental illness
C. some anxiety can lead to changes for the better
D. no anxiety is bad for society
66. According to the author, accidents of the road tend to be caused by .
A. all those who are too anxious B. all those who have anxiety
C. those who have no anxiety D. those who are not anxious enough
67. The best title for the passage would be .
A. One Man’s Thought about Anxiety B. The Right Amount of Anxiety
C. Anxiety versus Safety D. Different Attitudes to Anxiety

Two possible versions:
1
Once upon a time there was a farmer who worked hard in the fields every day. One day, while he was ploughing the field, he heard a bumping sound. He saw a rabbit lying by the trump. He picked it up and found that it was a fat rabbit. He thought to himself, “Since it is so easy to get a rabbit like that, why should I work so hard all day long?” He threw his hoe away and lay by the tree every day, dreaming for more rabbit to come. When he finally realized his foolishness and returned to his field, he found that all his crops were dead. This story tells us that we should not wait for unexpected gains by chance and luck. Or, we should not hope to get rewards without hard work.
2
There was once a farmer who worked very hard every day. One day when he was hoeing in the sunshine, he suddenly heard a low sound “Peng!”. He turned and hurried to the tree. He found a rabbit dying. He took hold of the rabbit and was excited. “What a rabbit! I’ll have it for dinner!” Then he had a good idea, “Why can’t I wait for more rabbits here? It’s cool under the tree.” So he dropped off his hoe and waited there. But day after day, there were no more rabbits coming. What was worse, all his crops were dead.
The story tells us that if you want to get something, you must work hard for it. Remember, “No pains, no gains!”
