We 51 our skepticism (怀疑主义) into other 52 but it caused problems for the teachers who weren't used to being challenged (挑战)．I've kept in mind what Mr．Whitson gave me—the 53 to look people in the eye and tell them they are wrong.

Having returned from her round trip， the angry woman stood outside the ticket office of the station．“The railway owes me ￡12，”she said to Harry Jenks， the young man working at the office．“Yon sold me a ticket for May 22nd，but there was no ship from Jersey that night．So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel．It cost me ￡12．”
Harry was worried．He remembered selling the woman a return ticket． “Come into the office，Madam，” he said politely．“I'll just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd．”
The woman and her little girl followed him inside．She was quite right，as Harry soon discovered．There was no sailing on May 22nd．How could he have made such a careless mistake? He shouldn't have sold her a ticket for that day． Wondering what to do， he smiled at the child．“You look sunburnt，” he said to her．“Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?”
“Yes，”she answered，shyly．“The beach was lovely．And I can swim too!”
“That's fine，” said Harry．“My little girl can't swim a bit yet．Of course，she's only three．．．”
“I'm four，” the child said proudly．“I'll be four and a half．”
Harry turned to the mother．“I remember your ticket，Madam，”he said．“But you didn't get one for your daughter，did you?”
“Er，well—”the woman looked at the child．“I mean．．．she hasn't started school yet．She's only four．”
“A four-year-o1d child must have a ticket，Madam．A child's return ticket to Jersey costs．．．let me see．．．￡13.50．So if the railway pays your hotel，you will owe ￡1.50．The law is the law，but since the fault was mine．．．”

Beware of (提防) those who use the truth to deceive. When someone tells you something that is true， but leaves out important information that should be included， he can create a false impression．For example，someone might say，“I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery (彩票)．It was great．I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”
This guy's a winner，right? Maybe，maybe not．We then discover that he bought two hundred tickets，and only one was a winner．He's really a big loser!
He didn't say anything that was false，but he left out important information．That's called a half-truth．Half-truths are not technically lies，but they are just as dishonest．
Untrustworthy candidates (候选人) in political campaigns (竞争) often use this tactic．Let's say that during Governor Smith's last term， her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs．Then she seeks another term． One of her opponents (对手) runs an ad saying， “During Governor Smith's term， the state lost one million jobs．” That's true． However an honest statement would have been，“During Governor Smith's term，the state had a net gain of two million jobs．”
Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths．It's against the law to make false claims (声明) so they try to mislead you with the truth： An ad might boast(吹嘘)， “Nine out of ten doctors recommend (推荐) Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples．” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation．
This kind of deception happens too often． It's a sad fact of life：Lies are lies，and sometimes the truth can lie as well．
64．Which statement is true according to the article?
A．Whenever people tell the truth，they are really lying．
B．You can't trust gamblers (赌博)．
C．All governors help their states．
D．The truth can be used in dishonest ways．
65．The underlined word “deceive” means .
A．mistake B．hide C．fool D．repair
66．The author clearly wants people to .
A．think carefully about what they read and hear
B．wear mismatched socks during political campaigns
C．never trust anyone
D．vote for female candidates
67．The best title for this passage would be“ ”．
A．Lies Are Lies B．Everyone Lies C．Lying With The Truth D．Nose Pimples
D
I strongly believe that it is rather important to be a good listener．And although I have become a better listener than I was ten years ago，I have to admit I'm still only an adequate (尚可的) listener．
Effective listening is more than simply avoiding the bad habit of interrupting others while they are speaking or finishing their sentences．It's being content to listen to the entire thought of someone rather than waiting impatiently for your chance to respond(回答)．In some ways，the way we fail to listen is symbolic(象征性的) of the way we live．We often treat communication as if it were a race．It's almost like our goal is to have no gaps between the conclusion of the sentence of the person we are speaking with and the beginning of our own． My wife and I were recently at a cafe having lunch，
overhearing the conversations around us． It seemed that no one was really listening to one another；instead they were taking turns not listening to one another．I asked my wife if I still did the same thing．With a smile on her face she said，“Only sometimes”．
Slowing down your responses and becoming a better listener aids you in becoming a more peaceful person．It takes pressure from you．If you think about it，you'll notice that it takes an extremely large amount of energy and is very stressful to be sitting at the edge of your seat trying to guess what the person in front of you (or on the telephone) is going to say so that you can fire back your response．But as you wait for the person you are communicating with to finish，as you simply listen more carefully to what is being said，you'll notice that the pressure you feel is off．You will immediately feel more relaxed，and so will the people you are talking to．They will feel safe in slowing down their own responses because they won't feel in competition with you for “air time”! Not only will becoming a better listener make you a more patient person，it will also add to the quality of your relationships．Everyone loves to talk to someone who truly listens to what they are saying．
68．According to the passage，an effective listener should .
A．accept the speaker's thought critically(批评地)
B．respond to the speaker's words slowly
C．wait for the chance to respond patiently
D．reply the speaker's question patiently
69．My wife's words means that sometimes I .
A．overhear other people's conversations B．may enter a cafe for having lunch
C．await patiently my chance to respond D．do not really listen to other's statement
70．When talking with others，you will feel relaxed by .
A．sitting at the edge of the seat B．slowing down your responses
C．guessing the speaker's thought D．responding to the speaker quickly
71．From the passage，we can NOT infer that .
A．the author was not an effective listener in the past
B．a person who only wants to respond is not welcome
C．the author's wife must always be an effective listener
D．both sides in a talk can benefit (得益) from effective listening

He had travelled thousands of miles in the hope of earning some money，but 18-year-old Lin Kongming never knew danger was waiting for him．
He and six other migrant workers from Fujian Province spent 36 hours in Iraq as international hostages (人质)．But luckily，they were set free last Tuesday morning，unharmed by the people who had taken them hostage．
After hard work by Chinese diplomats (外交官) in the region the Iraqi kidnappers (绑架者)agreed to hand them over to a local religious group．“The friendly relations between the Chinese and Iraqi peoples have played a key role in the release of the hostages,” said Foreign Ministry spokesman Kong Quan．China refused to join the US-led coalition (联军) in the Iraq war．
Since April 4，over 60 hostages from 12 countries，including America，Italy and Japan，have been taken in Iraq. Some have been released, others were killed．
The Iraqi resistance(反抗) groups have started taking foreigners hostage in an attempt to force the US-led troops out of their country．As a result，many foreigners have left，fearing the situation will get worse．Some nations are also considering removing their troops from Iraq．Thailand has ordered its forces not to leave their camp and may bring them home before September as originally planned．New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark is considering similar action。
But Dan Senor，spokesman for the US-led coalition in Baghdad，said that it would not negotiate (谈判) with“terrorists or kidnappers” to get hostages released．
72．The seven workers from Fujian were set free mainly because .

One possible version：
How to prevent bird flu
Bild flu is a kind of dangerous disease，and up till now there is no cure for it．It is believed that most people who caught bird flu must have touched sick chickens or their droppings.
So prevention is better than cure．First，keep away from sick chickens，ducks，and once you touch some， wash your hands with soap． And don't buy or eat the poultry that are not quarantined. Second，form a good habit. Fresh air，enough sleep，nice food and proper exercise are very important．Third，stay away from the infected people．Cover your mouth and nose while sneezing．
Only in this way can we prevent bird flu from spreading to us．
