Jerry is a popular manager of a restaurant. It was his attitude 21 made the waiters follow him. He was a natural motivator (鼓舞人心的人). If a(n) 22 was having a bad day, Jerry was always there, telling him/her how to look on the 23 side of the situation. This attitude really made me 24, so one day I asked him, “I don’t get it! No one can be a positive person 25. How can you manage it?” “Every time something bad happens, I can choose to 26 it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining and I can 27 the positive side of life. Why don’t we just do that later?” Jerry said. Jerry told me an unusual story out of his experience. One day he left the back door of his restaurant 28 and was robbed by three men. While trying to open the safe, his hand, shaking from 29 , slipped off the combination (开启号码的号码组合). The robbers got angry and 30 him. 31 , Jerry was found quickly and taken to the hospital. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of care, Jerry 32 with fragments (碎片) of the bullets (子弹) still in his body. I saw Jerry about six months after the 33 . I did ask him what had gone through his mind as the accident took place. “Did you lose consciousness? Weren’t you 34 ?” I asked. “No,” Jerry said, “35 when I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared.” “A nurse asked if I was allergic (过敏的) to anything. ‘Yes’ I replied. The doctors and nurses stopped 36 as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, ‘37 !’” “Over the laughter, I told them, ‘Please 38 on me as if I am alive, not dead.’” Jerry survived 39 the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. Attitude, after all, is 40 .

It has always been said that women are not good drivers, because they simply don’t have very good driving ability. On the other hand, most car accidents happen to men; very few happen to women. From this, we can see that women are much more careful while driving. Another very interesting fact is that in the past, women preferred to let their husbands be the only driver in the family rather than have a driving license. Somehow they were prevented from making this step in their life, but nowadays there are many women that want to pass their driving tests at an early age. However, we have to admit that men are more skillful drivers than women, but this does not mean that a woman cannot become a good driver by accumulating (积累) experience. So more and more teenagers and women around the age of thirty now want to pass their driving tests. While taking their driving lessons, they also have a number of special lessons with their parents or somebody in the family that has a driving license. This is just to improve their driving abilities and help them to pass the tests more easily. To conclude, we can say that women are not such bad drivers. They just need more experience than men in order to be able to drive well. And on the other hand, there are a number of women that show better driving skills than the men around them. 1. Compared with the past, nowadays many women ________.
2. What advantage do women have over men in driving?
3. What can we infer from the passage?
4. The passage mainly talks about ________.

I made a pledge (发誓) to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts. The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting (引用) a Biblical (圣经的) passage about husbands being considerate towards their wives. Then he went on to say, “Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change. And it did. Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks great on you.” “Oh, Tom, you noticed,” she said, surprised and pleased, maybe a little puzzled. After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, “Evelyn’s been alone here with the kids all the week and now she wants to stay with me.” We walked on the beach when the children flew their kites. So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that’s how the whole vacation passed, I made a new pledge to keep on remembering to choose love. There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today. Last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression. “What’s the matter?” I asked her. “Tom,” she said in a voice filled with sorrow, “do you know anything I don’t?” “What do you mean?” “Well…that checkup (体检) I had several weeks ago…our doctor…Did he tell you anything about me? Tom, you’ve been so good to me... Am I dying?” It took a moment for it all to sink in. Then I burst out laughing. “No, honey,” I said, wrapping her in my arms. “You’re not dying; I’m just starting to live.” 1. From the story we may infer that Tom went to the beach cottage ________.
2. During the two weeks on the beach, Tom showed more love to his wife because ________.
3. The underlined words “one thing” in the passage refer to the fact that ________.
4. By saying “I’m just starting to live”, Tom means that ________.
