I've always loved pigeons(鸽子). Some years ago I managed to persuade my wife to let me buy a few and start 26 them myself. They cost a lot of money and so it spoilt(破坏) our 27 a bit, but my wife never actually stopped me so I 28 carried on. I learnt so much about them that I could 29 a good racer anywhere and I bought some beauties. My pigeons won some top races, and I even began to make a bit of 30 .
You see, people are prepared to pay big prices if they get to know that your pigeons are 31 big prizes.
My wife had been changing her 32 to the pigeons over the last year or two anyway. She was quite 33 of all the prizes we’d won. Then there was the travelling, which she liked. You see some one has to take the pigeons a
34 way off and set them free. Some of the 35 were really nice. I never travelled. I used to like to wait at home and see them come in. They’ve got this wonderful sense of 36 , which can bring them back home so quickly. They’d flown hundreds of miles sometimes 37 storms or against strong winds. And there they’d come, tiny white birds against the great 38 . Then I'd watch them 39 round and come down onto the landing shelf. I'd look at my watch and think, “My goodness, that’s a good 40 . ”And I'd take off the little leg ring and push it through the machine to 41 what time he’d arrived. Then my wife would 42 up and say, “Has he arrived yet?” Then we would work out if we’d won 43 .
Then last year we had a 44 ! All of them got some sort of flu and 45 . It was terrible. I had to burn them all. We lost a fortune, of course.

A 篇
Remembering names is an important social skill.Here are some ways to master it.
Recite and repeat in conversation.
When you hear a person’s name,repeat it.Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips.You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.
Ask the other person to recite and repeat.
You can let other people help you remember their names.After you’ve been introduced to someone,ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you.Most people will be pleased by the effort you’re making to learn their names.
Admit(承认) you don’t know.
Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed.Most of them will feel sympathy if you say.“I’m working to remember names better.Yours is right on the tip of my tongue.What is it again?”
Use associations(联系).
Link each person yon meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual.For example,you could make a mental note: "Vicki Cheng -- tall, black hair. " To reinforce you’re your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.
Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.
When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.
Go early.
Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. That's fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others -- an automatic review for you.
46. How will most people feel when you try hard to remember their names?
A. They will be moved. B. They will be annoyed.
C. They will be happy. D. They will be discouraged(泄气的).
47. If you can't remember someone's name, you may __
A. tell him the truth B. tell him a white lie
C. ask him for pity D. ask others to help you
48. When you meet a group of people, it is better to remember __
A. all their names B. a couple of names first
C. just their last names D. as many names as possible
49. What does the text mainly tell us?

C. How to make use of associations.
D. How to recite and repeat names.
B篇
Mistakes are a part of life. To err is human. Failure is also a part of life, not the end of life. Be happy facing life’s challenges. When you make the effort to be happy and to improve your life, you are actually rewarded along the way.
Life is like a game and maybe you can award(奖励) points for every effort that has been a success for you. Try it. Add ten points for every achievement. And when you have reached 50 points, just yell, “ Hey, I’ve won!” and give yourself a reward. If you happen to have missed your points for whatever reason, tell yourself, “Well, I tried!” which is better than not trying at all. Don’t let it be said you didn’t try.
What is it that you want to make yourself happy? Actually happiness means different things to different people. For example, an athlete will be happy winning his first race. For a new mother happiness would be seeing her baby’s first steps. Happiness for a poor person would mean having a meal just for today. So happiness for you is really something simple that you want for yourself.
It really doesn’t have to be big. As a matter of fact you should always have realistic expectations. Make the best out of every given situation. If you expect a certain result from a situation and it does not happen, don’t get despondent. This just means trying harder next time. We all have in us the power to succeed. Don’t let “ give up ” be a part of your vocabulary.
50.By saying “To err is human”, the author means that________.
A. human beings should try to avoid(避免) making mistakes
B. no one is perfect(完美的) and everyone makes mistakes
C. mistakes and failures make up our lif
D. human beings make mistakes easily
51. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2?
A. Try to reach 50 points.
B. Never stop trying in your life.
C. Award yourself for your success
D. Don’t be afraid of missing your points.
52. The author proves his idea in Paragraph 3 through_________.
A. exampes B. numbers C. experiments D. stories
53. The underlined word “ despondent ” in the last paragraph means________.
A. frightened B. disappointed C. surprised D. excited
