When you ask people why they work, a lot of them will say they’re “ only in it for the money.” When you work for 36 , you can be financially independent, and have some 37 over your life.

Sometimes money truly is the only reason a person works. But most people have some important 38 for working: some like to 39 their days doing something they’re good at, some feel 40 to use their skills.

Usually, a person 41 for a sense of being accomplished, of being able to do things with his hands, with his mind, and with his will. Each of us wants to feel we 42 the ability to do something 43. You can see the carpenter(木匠) standing aside and 44 the product of his personal skill. For many people the 45 of work is harmful to their health. It has been observed that 46 brings enormous psychological trouble. Large numbers of people get headache on 47 when they don’t have work to do.

48 you didn’t work and you had every day to yourself? You could choose to watch television, go the the movies, go shopping, read books, visit friends, go traveling, do sports...These all sound wonderful, but you’d need 49 some money. Relaxing and doing what you 50 is great for a holiday, but after a while the pleasure can wear off and you can feel aimless and 51.

In fact, our life 52 work. What would happen if no one worked? The goods and services we need to live and enjoy in our leisure time simply couldn’t 53. For example, if you needed to catch a bus: Who would design and construct the bus? Who would drive the bus? If you wanted to read a newspaper: Who would 54 the articles and take the pictures for it? Who would print it?

So, the next time you hear people 55 about their jobs, you can simply remind them how terrible life would be if they were unemployed.

36. A. life B. money C. school D. fun

37. A. account B. attempt C. control D. remark

第三部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

第一节（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

A

The teacher stood before his class of 30 students and was going to hand out the final exam papers. “I know how hard you have all worked to get ready for this test,” he said. “And because I know you are all able to understand these questions. I am ready to offer a B to anyone who would prefer not to take the test.”

A number of students jumped up to thank the teacher and left the classroom. The teacher looked at the rest students and said, “Does anyone else want to get a B? This is your last chance.” Two more students decided to go. Seven students stayed. The teacher then handed out the papers. There were only three sentences on the paper: Congratulations! You have received an A in this class. Keep believing in yourself.

I never had a teacher who gave a test like that, but I think that it is a test that any teacher could and should give. Students who do not have confidence in what they have learned are B students at most.

The same is true for students in real life. The A students are those who believe in what they are doing because they have learned from both successes and failures. They have learned life’s lessons, whether from school education or from events in their lives, and have become better people. Scientists say that by the age of eight, 80% of what we believe about ourselves has already been formed. You are a big kid now and you realize that you have some limits(局限). However, there is nothing you can’t do or learnt to be. Sir Edmund Hillary, the first person to reach the top of Mount Qomolangma(珠穆朗玛峰)said, “We do not conquer the mountain, but ourselves.”

56. Some students left the classroom because ___________.

A. they were happy with the grade the teacher would give them

B. they were allowed to take another easier exam later on

C. they knew the teacher didn’t like them to take the test

D. they thought the exam was so easy that they don’t need to have a try

57. The teacher gave the rest students an A because____________.

A. they answered all the questions in the exam correctly

B. they didn’t believe them
