　　Some of the notebooks George Washington kept as a young man are still in existence. They　show that he was learning Latin, was very interested in the basics of good behavior in society,

　　We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mis-

　　takes are about people. "Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen? When I got that

　　great job,did Jerry 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, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose　someone tells you. "you're a lucky dog". Is he really on your side? if he says. "You're a lucky　guy"or"You're a lucky gal". 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"bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn't think you deserve your luck.

　　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 square 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.

　　第43题单选 From the questions in the first paragraph we can learn that the speaker

　　A.feels happy, thinking of how nice his friends were to him

　　B.feels he may not have" read" his friends'tree feelings correctly

　　C.thinks it was a mistake to have broken up with his girl friend, Helen

　　D.is sorry that his friends let him down

　　第44题单选 In the second paragraph, the author uses the example of" You're a lucky dog" to show　that

　　A.the speaker of this sentence is just being friendly

　　B.this saying means the same as "You're a lucky guy" or "You're a lucky gal"

　　C.sometimes the words used by a speaker give a clue to the feeling behind the words

　　D.the word" dog" shouldn't be used to apply to people

　　第45题单选 This passage tries to tell you how to

　　A.avoid mistakes about money and friends

　　B.bring the" dog" bit into our conversation

　　C.avoid mistakes in understanding what people tell you

　　D.keep people friendly without trusting them

　　Why was Bastille important to the citizens of Paris? The building of the Bastille had been　started in 1370 under Charles V. By the seventeenth century it had stopped to be important for　defense. Cardinal Richelieu turned it into a prison. It was not an ordinary prison to punish common crimes. Its huge doors closed only on enemies of the King. The Bastille's workings were secret. Prisoners were taken to it in closed vehicles. Soldiers on guard duty had to stand with their　faces to the wall. No talking was allowed. Worst of all, a prisoner never knew if he would be　there a day, a week, a year, or forever. Only the King's letter could set him free.

　　Over the years the number of arrests by King's letter had become fewer. By the time of its　fall, most of the prisoners were writers who had written against the corruptions(贪污腐败)of　the government Voltaire, the famous French writer, spent a year there in 1717 ~ 1718, and another 12 days in 1726.
