I am writing for the residents’ association (业主协会) to inform you of our feelings about your act. We’ve really had enough of you. Although we have tried to speak to you politely on several occasions, you have always answered with a stream of verbal abuse(辱骂).
Ever since you moved in three months ago, you have shown very little consideration for the other residents of this building, though many residents expressed their unhappiness with you. For the past six weekends, you have held very noisy parties, which have not finished until early the next morning. As you know, most of the people here are elderly or have very young children, and the noise keeps them awake all night. You don’t have to be so noisy, do you? Last weekend the situation deteriorated when two of your friends fought with each other on the first floor. The fighting was so bad that the police had to be called. What’s more, your friends left the stairs in a terrible state --- they even broke two windows on their way out! We feel that we can’t bear this type of act.
We strongly demand that you pay for this damage to the window soon. If you don’t and you carry on being a nuisance(令人讨厌的人或物). We will kick you out! Legal steps will be taken if necessary.
Yours sincerely,
Resident

Listen carefully,working people! We would like to tell you something that could save your precious time and money! Best of all, it is free!
It’s“no”.What do you ask? We’ll say it again:“No”,a sweet and simple“no”.Say“no” at your office and see how quickly that pile of work on your desk disappears.
“Saying ‘no’ to others means you are saying ‘yes’ to yourself. Time is precious.People are spending money buying time。And yet we are willing to give up our time because we can’t say ‘no’.”said Leslie Charles,a professional speaker from East Lansing,Michigan.Susie Watson,a famous writer,said people who always say “yes” need to say “no” without guilt(内疚)or fear of punishment.“I would rather have someone give me a loving‘no’ than all obligated(强制的)‘yes’,”she said.She feels “no” need to give an explanation when she says “no” either socially or professionally.Does she feel guilty about it?“Not at all,”said Watson,who is director of advertising and public relations at Timex Corp in Middlebury.Connecticut.“Most people are afraid of saying ‘no’.My advice is to say ‘yes’ only if you don’t mean ‘no’.”Watson said “no” is the most effective weapon against wasting time.“Every year there are more demands on your time.Other people are happy to use up your time.”Watson said.Time saving appears to be “no’s” greatest friend.
“No” can be your new friend.a powerful tool to take back your life.“No” may even take you further in the business world than “yes”.“No” is power and strength.“No” now seems completely correct.
“Saying ‘no’ isn’t easy.But finally it’s greatly liberating,”Charles said.But,he added,a “no” project needs to be worked on every day because it is hard to change long-term
habit.But.he also warns:“Don’t go to extremes.Don’t find yourself saying ‘no’ to everything. In return you should learn to hear ‘no’.”
45.The underlined part “you are saying ‘yes’ to yourself” probably means that .
A.you can have more time to play with others
B.you needn’t mind other’s feeling when happy
C.you are selfish and may treat others rudely
D.you can do with your business as planned
46.When you say “no” to others,you should say it .
A. secretly B.politely C.proudly D.guiltily
47.In Watson’s opinion,people can save much time if they .
A.1earn to refuse B. refuse as much as possible
C.fear to refuse D. refuse without hesitation
48.If you say “no” to everything.you’11 .
A.make a lot of money B.enjoy a more wonderful life

The day was Thankful Thursday. It’s a 36 tradition that my two little girls and I began years ago. Thursday has become our day to go out and make a positive 37 .
My girls shouted “McDonald’s, McDonald’s” as we 38 along a busy Houston road. Suddenly I 39 that almost every crossing I passed through was 40 by a panhandler(乞丐). And then it hit me! All these panhandlers must be hungry, too. Perfect! After we ate, I ordered a(an) 41fifteen lunches and we set out to deliver them. We would pull 42 a panhandler, make a contribution, and tell him or her that we hoped things got better. Then we’d say, “Oh, 43 …here’s lunch.”
We handed our final contribution to a small woman and then immediately 44 back in the opposite direction for home. 45 , the light caught us again and we were stopped at the same crossing where this small woman stood. I was 46 and didn’t know quite how to behave.
She made her way to our car, “No one has ever done47 like this for me before,” she said with 48 . Feeling uneasy, and wanting to move the conversation along, I asked, “ So, 49 do you think you’ll eat your lunch?”
She just looked at me with her huge, tired brown eyes and said, “Oh honey, I’m not going to eat this lunch.” I was 50 ,but before I could say anything, she continued, “You see, I have a little girl and she 51 loves McDonald’s, but I don’t have money. But you know what…tonight she is going to have McDonald’s!”
I don’t know if the kids 52 the tears in my eyes. So many times I had questioned whether our acts of kindness were too 53 or insignificant to really effect change. 54 in that moment, I recognized the 55 of Mother Teresa’s words: “We cannot do great things—only small things with great love.”

My Grandmother turned 94 last week and this I believe is her secret to life. My grandmother is generous (慷慨) and hard-working in a way that is rare for our time. She lives by a simple belief: if someone needs your help, you help. Never mind all the analyzing and thinking whether the person deserves or appreciates the help. My grandmother doesn’t sit around thinking about who might be making use of her: she simply does what is needed.
At 94, she is busy in life. She is making a blanket for a new great grandchild, and worried that I don’t have enough kitchen towels for my home. She is bringing soup to a sick neighbor, and teaching the new wife of her cousin (who is 88) how to cook Italian food.
My grandmother had every right to give up, but she didn’t — and amazingly life did bring her good things, like a husband with twinkling blue eyes who was much ahead of his time and believed that men should do an equal amount of cooking and cleaning in the home, three beautiful children (my father and two aunts), 22 grandchildren, and five great grandchildren. My grandmother is not afraid to give someone she barely knows a bowl of soup. She never keeps herself out of the world.
61. The reason why my grandmother made cookies for the lady downstairs is that ________.
A. she thought the lady was too busy
B. she would make them as thanks to her
C. she thought she should do something for the lady at the special time
D. they had had an agreement before
62. In the writer’s opinion, ________.
A. my grandmother has a secret way of living
B. my grandmother does everything on careful consideration
C. few people are as generous as my grandmother now
D. my grandmother will get something in return
63. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. My grandmother cares for her children even some strangers.
B. My grandfather does not treat women in an unfair way.
C. This is a family in which there are nearly 30 people now.
D. My grandmother never keeps everything for herself.
64. We may infer from the text that the writer ________.
A. thinks his grandmother is living a tired life
B. thinks his grandmother is doing what she should do
C. thinks his grandmother should not be so kind
D. is proud of his grandmother
