Whatever misfortune you face, just hold up your head and face it with a smile! I got to know this from a musical soul.

The other day I was feeling quite   31  , having just been laid off from my job. With so many   __32   to pay, I was wondering what was going to happen to my family.

I got off the bus when I heard piano music and singing rising above the noise of the   33  . I walked a bit slower, trying to find out where it was coming from. Through the   34   I saw a young lady sitting at a piano with a box next to her.

She might have felt my   37   for she occasionally looked in my direction.

By now I was telling myself that I could at least tell her how good she sounded. I walked   38__  and put some money in her box and she expressed her thanks with a smile on her face.

I asked her   39  , “Why are you playing the piano in the middle of this crowded place?”

She explained to me that she sees so many   40   people in the world that she is trying to relieve the pain by   41   motivational (激励的) music.

第三部分：阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分，共40分)

第一节：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，并在答题卡上将该选项标号涂黑。

A

Most people say “yes” much more readily than “no”.

A friend is moving house this weekend and would like some help, and you agree. But, what you really wanted was a couple of quiet days relaxing at home. Or a roommate spends the entire weekends playing video games and wants to borrow your homework for “reference”. But, you’ve just finished it after taking a whole day to work hard.

Many people say “yes” to these kinds of requests. They tend not to consider their own interests and feelings, and are often angry with themselves afterwards.

Saying “no” requires courage and considerable practice, in fact, according to psychologists.

“Everyone wants to be liked,” says Gabriele Steinki, a German psychologist. “Saying ‘no’ risks losing the affection of the person asking the favor or even a job.”

The result is that many people say “yes” just for keeping the peace. But experts say this is regrettable. Anyone should have the right to say “no”.

In fact, rejecting a request can even help to strengthen a relationship because it expresses a true feeling.

But, for people used to agreeing to every request, changing can be a long and uncomfortable learning process.

Most people believe that “If I say ‘no’, I’ll lose the affection of the person. But the affection is important to me.” This way of thinking can be replaced by this: “If he only likes me because I always do what suits him, then the price of his affection is too high in the long term.”

Steinki says the key is talking to the other person to find a mutual (有利于双方的) solution. “One needs to present the situation from one’s own point of view, and to suggest how the situation can be dealt with to the advantage of both parties. The other person must have the feeling that his interests are being considered.”

When the refusal is not accepted, Steinki advises giving the reasons calmly again until the person gets the message.

51. Most people say “yes” much more readily than “no” because ______.

A. they only care about their own interests and feelings

B. they don’t know they will regret afterwards

C. they have already been used to saying “yes”

D. they care more about others’ interests and feelings

52. In the opinion of experts, ______ .

A. people need a lot of practice to say “no”

B. people should say “yes” to keep the peace

C. saying “no” means losing a job

D. people have the right to be liked
