82.library→libraries,根據(jù)上文的many修飾判斷。

Frankly, I very much appreciate myself. Yes, I admit I’m in many respects not as good as other people, but I don’t think I’m always not good. When I find what I’ve done or written is okay, I’ll remain pleased with myself for quite a few days, and in case I receive praise for it, I’ll even become so excited as to add a few words to glorify myself.

True, I’m not modest at all. People may call me conceited (自負的). But I think otherwise.

I also appreciate other people. I appreciate anything good. Isn’t it unfair to forget appreciating myself while appreciating others?

We Chinese generally tend to be modest, and we take pride in being so. For example, a Chinese will call his own wife zhuojing, meaning “my humble wife”, and his own writings zhuozuo, meaning “my poor writings”. But if you should call his wife a “rustic (鄉(xiāng)巴佬的) woman” or his writings “trash”, he would, I’m sure, slap the table in a rage and declare he would make a clean break with you. As a matter of fact, there is probably no difference at all between what is said by him and you respectively.

I don’t think it’s wrong for you to freely praise yourself if you’re really worthy of praise. As we know, there is an old Chinese saying disparaging (蔑視的) a melon peddler(商販), named Lao Wang, who keeps praising his own goods. Well, why can’t he praise his melons if they are really sweet and juicy?

Friends, Lao Wang sells melons for a living. How could he carry on business if he, by imitating the affectations of us intellectuals, were to show false modesty about his melons? He would sure enough die of starvation.

Self-appreciation is therefore key to professional dedication (貢獻) and enjoyment of work. One will lose confidence in continuing with writing when he pauses to admire his own essays.

Needless to say, the same is true of those who make a living with their pen.

 

49. The best title for the passage would be __________.

A. On Self-Appreciation                        B. Types of Appreciation

C. Power of Appreciation                     D. Uses of Appreciation

50. The underlined word “zhuojing” in Paragraph 4 means _________.

A. wife high in position                            B. wife low in position

C. wise wife                                           D. foolish wife

51. The writer points out with an example about an old Chinese saying that _________.

A. self-appreciation is also an active way of attitude to life and work

B. a false modesty will lose confidence in continuing with writing

C. one person pauses to admire his own essays without self-appreciation

D. one doesn’t praise his melons if his melons are really sweet and juicy

52. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. If I find what I’ve done or written is wrong, I’ll appreciate myself.

B. I never appreciate other people because I think others are foolish.

C. If you think poorly of your friend’s writings, perhaps he’ll be angry at you.

D. Lao Wang will die of starvation because he never praises his melons.

The penny is getting a change. The United States Mint (制幣廠) revealed four new designs for the 1-cent piece, to celebrate the coming 200th anniversary of President Abraham Lincoln's birth. United States Mint Director Ed Moy announced the new looks for the penny today in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. "These coins are a tribute (贊辭) to one of our greatest Presidents, whose legacy (遺教) has had a lasting impact on our country," Moy said.

The heads side of the new pennies will continue to bear the profile (側面) likeness of President Lincoln and the motto "In God We Trust." The back sides will pay tribute to four major parts of Lincoln's life.

The first redesigned penny will feature a log cabin that represents Lincoln's birthplace, near Hodgenville, Kentucky. The second design shows Lincoln reading a book while sitting on a log with his ax beside him. It shows how young Lincoln educated himself while working as a rail-splitter in Indiana. The third design shows Lincoln as a young man in front of the Capitol (議會會堂) in Illinois. The fourth and final design shows a half-finished United States Capitol dome, which was completed in 1863 despite the violent Civil War. The writing, on the back sides of the coins will remain "United States of America," "E Pluribus Unum" and "One Cent."

The first penny will be released into circulation on February 12, 2009, Lincoln's 200th birthday. This day is also the 100th anniversary of the release of the first penny, on February 12, 1909. One new coin will be released into circulation every three months in 2009.

"This is an important occasion in the history of our nation's coin-age because these designs represent the first change in the Lincoln cent in half a century," said Director Moy. A commemorative (紀念性的) Lincoln silver dollar will also be released in 2009.

 

56. Why does the United States Mint get the Lincoln cent changed? ______________

A. Because the design is out of date.

B. Because the design doesn’t match Lincoln’s life.

C. Because the old coin is hard to be released into circulation.

D. Because the country wants to honor Lincoln on his 200th birthday.

57. Which is the correct order of the new coins according to the description in the passage?

A. a, b, c, d                B. b, a, d, c               C. c, d, a, b                 D. b, c, a, d

58. How many new Lincoln coins will be released in 2009? ______________

A. One.                       B. Three.                     C. Four.                       D. Five.

59. All the newly designed coins feature the following EXCEPT _____.

A. the profile likeness of President Lincoln            B. the motto "In God We Trust"

C. the portrait of young Abraham Lincoln            D. the writing "United States of America"

60. Which of the following does Penny Image 4 show? __________________

A. Professional Life in Illinois.                  B. Presidency in Washington, DC.

C. Formative Years in Indiana.                  D. Birth and Early Childhood in Kentucky.
