12．（8分）Peter Damon produces about 30 paintings a year and sells them for between US ＄250 and U
S ＄1，500．That's not enough to make ends meet，but it has made him whole again．He lost both arms in a
n accident．
"Having this skill that even normal people find difficult was something that really helped me and made m
e feel like I fit in more in the world，" Damon said．
He was a worker in a car factory．One day when he was working，there was a gas explosion（爆炸），killin
g one worker and injuring him．
"I lost my right arm above the elbow，about three inches above the elbow，and my left about six inches b
elow，" he explained．
"How am I going to make a living and take care of my family？I had always worked with my hands，" he sai
d．
Then with a simple little drawing，a new future opened up for him．
"I thought it was wonderful in a way，" Damon said． "Something was telling me to focus on this and ever
ything will be alright．" Damon doesn't have a perfect prosthetic arm （假肢）- just a hook （钩子），which h
e finds works best．
He and his wife Jen run True Grit Art Gallery in Middleboro，Massachusetts，where he shows the works o
f local artists．With his disability check from the government，he can afford to be an artist．He is a man doin
g what he wants with his life，and doesn't look at his situation as a hard time．
"I don't see it that way，" Damon said． "Suffering an injury like this has a way of making you focus on wh
at's important in life．"
He believes his best work is still ahead of him．But with his pictures of simple American scenes，Damon ha
s already produced his best work．

A．Winners do what losers don't want to do．
B．Nothing is impossible if you try your best．
C．God closes a door and another will open for you．
D．Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today．
13．（8分）Ask any new college graduate about his immediate goals， and it is likely that he will tell you h
e wants a job． But it turns out that today's students are not going to be satisfied with any job． According t
o the latest survey， making a difference through their work is essential （必要的） to young people's happine
ss．
The survey found that 72 percent of graduating college seniors believe being able to have a positive soci
al influence through their work is essential to their happiness． Making a difference is so important to them t
hat 45 percent say they would take a 15-percent pay cut to work at an organization that has a social or enviro
nmental influence， and 58 percent say they would take a pay cut to work for an organization whose values a
re the same as their own．
Besides this， the survey found that female students are far more likely to put social influence in first plac
e than their male classmates， echoing the results of a former study showing that female maths and scienc
e majors are more likely to say they go into those fields to make a difference．
One reason for the emphasis （强调） on improving the world probably has to do with the culture of colleg
es， which encourages students to connect their studies back to real-world problems． Students are used t
o discussing important social issues （问题） with their friends and professors， and doing something about t
hem in class or through volunteer activities． Once students develop those habits， they don't shut them of
f when graduation rolls around．
（1）What does the underlined word "echoing" in paragraph 3 probably mean？
A． Learning．
B． Repeating．
C． Believing．
D． Creating．
（2）What is one of the reasons for the emphasis on students wanting to improve the world？
A． The habits students develop in society．
B． The appearance of important social issues．
C． The encouragement of the culture of colleges．
D． The effect parents' education has on their children．
（3）What can you learn from the passage？
A． Young people will surely gain happiness if they can make a difference in their work．
B． Less than half of the college seniors will take a pay cut to work with the same values．
C． Most college graduates believe it important to have a positive social influence in work．
D． Female graduates are all putting more social influence in first place than male graduates．
（4）Which could be the best title for the passage？
A． Female Students Are Concerned about Society
B． Young People's Happiness Doesn't Depend on Money
C． Graduates Become More Interested in Challenging Jobs
D． Many Graduates Would Take a Pay Cut to Make a Difference
14．（8分）Did you ever have to say "no" to somebody？Such as a classmate who asks to go to lunch with yo
u？New research suggests that，at least socially，a rejection （拒绝） should not include an apology．In othe
r words，saying you are sorry does not make the person being rejected feel any better．In fact，it might mak
e the rejected person feel worse．That is surprising．Many people consider it to be good manners to say the
y are sorry when they turn down a request．
Gili Freedman is doing some related research at Dartmouth College．For her research，she asked over 1，0
00 people to respond to different examples of social rejection．In one example，the researchers asked peopl
e for their reaction （反应） after a person named Taylor asked to join a co-worker who went out to lunch eve
ry Friday．And Taylor was told "no"．But in some cases，the person rejecting Taylor offered an apology．In o
ther cases，the people doing the rejection did not say they were sorry．People were asked how they would fe
el if they were being turned down，just as Taylor was．Most said they would be more hurt by a rejection wit
h an apology than a rejection without an apology．
Freedman said the reason is that apologies make people feel like they need to say that the rejection was o
kay - even when they felt like it was not okay．Rejection without an apology lets them express their feeling
s of disappointment，hurt or anger more easily．Freedman also said that an apology often makes the perso
n doing the rejection feel better --even as it makes the person being rejected feel worse．
Her research deals only with social communication．A business situation might be very different． "If a ma
nager rejects a job interviewee or a boss must tell an employee that he or she is being fired from a job，" Fre
edman said， "reactions to apologies may be different．"
（1）Why do people say they are sorry when they express rejection？
A．Because they think it is more polite．
B．Because they think it helps them express their dislike better．
C．Because they think apologies are the basis of communication．
D．Because they think it sounds more comfortable for the listener．
（2）In Gili Freedman's research，over 1，000 people
A．rejected others without an apology
B．offered an apology when rejecting others
C．would be more hurt by a rejection with an apology
D．were asked to answer the question in different situations
（3）What role does an apology play in rejection？
A．It makes the rejection more acceptable．
