youve just sold it to me,” he said. “yes, i know but ive changed my mind. im sorry; ill give you twenty-seven pounds for it.” “you must be crazy,” he said. then, suddenly the penny dropped. “i know what you want. you want me to repair your chair.” “youre right,” i said. “and what would you have done if i had walked in and said, would you mend this chair for me?” “i wouldnt have agreed to do it,” he said. “we dont do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. but ill mend this for you, shall we say for a fiver?” he was a very nice man and was greatly amused (感到有趣) by the whole thing .56.we can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer . awas rather impolite bwas warmly received casked the shopkeeper to buy his chair dasked the shopkeeper to repair his chair 57.the expression “the penny dropped” in the last paragraph means the shopkeeper .achanged his mind baccepted the offer csaw the writers purpose ddecided to help the writer 58.from the text , we can learn that the writer was .ahonest bcareful csmartdfunnybin a recently published book, i came across some exercises with interesting names such as fishbone diagrams, lotus flowers, and clustering. as i used these exercises in my classes, i noticed that students were interested. they said more and wrote more. they enjoyed expressing their ideas and sharing them in groups. they were no longer passively waiting for the bell, but actively took part in the lesson. i find that creativity (創(chuàng)新)can act as a way to increase participation and improve fluency (流利程度).creativity has become a popular word in recent years. scholar in the arts, psychology (心理學(xué)), business, education, and science are all working to get a deeper understanding of it. robert j. sternberg is a creativity specialist and yale professor of psychology. he defines creativity as the ability to produce work that is both new (original) and appropriate (applicable to the situation). this definition is useful, as we want our students to use language in a new way, and to use it correctly and properly. most scholars say there are two types of creativity: big “c” creativity and small “c” creativity. big “c” creativity refers to genius level thinking that results in artistic masterpieces and scientific breakthroughs. small “c” creativity refers to everyday level thinking that can be used in any situation. our emphasis is on the latter. while it goes without saying that any of our students could go on to be the next picasso or edison, our aim is to help students produce more ideas and use language in new ways.59. the underlined words “waiting for the bell” in the first paragraph probably mean _.a. longing for a phone call b. hoping to have a bell c. expecting the end of the class d. wanting to speak in class60. it can be inferred from the passage that the author thought the exercises in the book were _.a. popular b. useful c. scientific d. creative61. the main purpose of the passage is to _.a. show how useful the book is b. explain what creativity isc. discuss how one can be creative d. tell what teaching aims atcwhen a rather dirty, poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg for a few coins, do you hurry on, not knowing what to do, or do you feel sad and hurriedly hand over some money? what should our attitude to beggars be? there can be no question that the world is full of terribly sad stories. it must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from. it seems cruel not to give some money to beggars.certainly, most of the worlds great religions (宗教) order us to be open-hearted and share what we have with those less fortunate than ourselves. but has the world changed? maybe what was morally (道德方面) right in the old days, when one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help, is no longer the best idea. quite a few people will not give to beggars. let us look at their arguments.first, some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable and actually make a good living from begging. giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil (惡行). secondly, there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beer, wine or drugs. thirdly, there is the opinion that there is no real excuse for begging. one might be poor, but that is no reason for losing ones sense of pride and self-dependence.related to this is the opinion that the problem should be dealt with by the government rather than ordinary people. some people think beggars should go to the local government department and receive help.it is hard to come to any final conclusion; there are various cases and we must deal with them differently. a few coins can save a life in some situations, and even if the money is wasted, that does not take away the moral goodness of the giver. 62. what is mainly discussed in the passage?a. moral deeds of people.b. religious activities of the church.c. moral goodness of the giver.d. arguments on giving money to beggars.63. what can we infer from the sentence “but has the world changed?” in the second paragraph?a. people no longer know who suffers misfortune in the village.b. some people will not do what was morally right in the past.c. we dont meet with those who need help any more.d. now it is the governments duty to help the beggars.64. which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?a. some people dress up to pretend to be beggars.b. some beggars want money to help their children go to school.c. some beggars use the money to buy drugs.d. some beggars have no excuse for begging.65. in the last paragraph, the writer thinks that it is hard to come to any final conclusion.because _.a. the cases can be so differentb. there are so many beggarsc. there is so much money wastedd. there are so many different argumentsdin a certain store where they sell puddings, a number of these delicious things are laid out in a row during the christmas season. here you may select the one which is most to your taste, and you are even allowed to sample them before coming to a decision.i have often wondered whether some people, who had no intention of making a purchase, would take advantage of this privilege. one day i asked this question of the shop girl, and i learned it was indeed the case. “now theres one old gentleman, for instance,” she told me, “he comes here almost every week and samples each one of the puddings, though he never buys anything, and i suspect he never will. i remember him from last year and the year before that, too. well, let him come if he wants it, and welcome to it. and whats more, i hope there are a lot more stores where he can go and get his share. he looks as if he needed it all right, and i suppose they can afford it.”she was still speaking when an elderly gentleman limped up to the counter and began looking closely at the row of puddings with great interest. “why, thats the very gentleman ive been telling you about,” whispered the shop girl. “just watch him now.” and then turning to him: “would you like to sample them, sir? heres a spoon for you to use. “the elderly gentleman, who was poorly but
