For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.passage 1We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people.“Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?”“When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?" When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it’s too late.Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don’t really listen closely we will miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you,“You' re a lucky dog.”That' s being friendly. But“lucky dog”? There's a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn't see it himself. But bringing in the“dog”puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn't t think you deserve your luck.“Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for”is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn't important. It's telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven’t got a date for Saturday night.How can you tell the real meaning behind someone' s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with' the tone of voice? His posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.61. This passage is mainly about ________ .
A. how to interpret what people say

Passage 2There is no creature that does not need sleep or complete rest every day.If you want to knowwhy, just try going without sleepfor a long period of time. You will discover thatyour mind and body would become loo tired to work properly. You would become imitable and find it hardto think clearly or concentrate on your work. So sleep is quite simply the time when the cells of your bodyrecover from the work of the day and build up supplies of energy for the next period of activity.One of the things we all know about sleep is that we are unconsciousin sleep. We do not know whatis going on around us. But that doesn't mean the body stops all activity. The important organs continue towork during sleep, but most of the body functions are slowed down.For example, our breathing becomes slower and deeper. The heart beats more slowly, and the bloodpressure is lower. Our arms and legs become limp and muscles are at rest. It would be impossible for ourbody to relax to such an extent if we were awake. So sleep does for us what the most quiet rest can not do.Your body temperature becomes lower when you are asleep, which is the reason people go to sleepunder some kind of covers. And even though you are unconscious, many of your reflexes still work. Forinstance, if someone tickles your foot, you will put it away in your sleep, or even brush a fly from yourforehead. You do these things without knowing it.66. If you don't have as much sleep as your body needs, you will ________ .
A. work properly
B. think clearly
C. keep your attention on your work
D. easily get angry
