第5题：
Cirque du Soleil(say it:Serk du So-lay)is being accused of out-dated thinking about the dangers of AIDS．It is a modern acrobatic circus from Canada that tours in the United States and other countries.
Last April,the company fired Matthew Cusick because he was HIV positive．This was after he spent four months learning his part in an act.
A spokesman for the circus said Cusick was fired for safety reasons．They said he was a danger to others.
He disagreed.
Hundreds of people picketed a show in San Francisco．They said that firing him was not legal．
Cusick says the company knew he was HIV positive when they hired him．It was not fair to let him put so much time into learning his act,and then fire him before he performed.
He says he is not a danger to others．People can only get AIDS if infected blood contacts another person's blood,or open wound.
The company says what their acrobats do is very,very dangerous．They perform tricks without nets．Someone might fall and get hurt．It could be bloody．They say it is too risky to let a person with HIV take part in an act.
People who run the circus say it hurts to be accused of discrimination.
Matthew Cusick says he feels hurt that he can't perform in the big blue and yellow tent.
Dozens of artists,actors,writers and entertainers got involved in protesting the firing of Matthew Cusick．Some names you might know are:the Actors'Equity Union(45,000 members),Rosie O'Donnell,Rod McKuen,and Chad Allen．They also protested at a showing in Orange County．They said"HIV discrimination is unacceptable."
Matthew Cusick__.A.believes he was fired illegally
B.says he was not HIV positive
C.understands why he had to be fired
D.lives in San Francisco答案：A解析：在第六段，Cusick说，马戏团在雇用他时就已经知道他是艾滋病病毒携带者，因此在他花费长时间的准备之后，又没有让他登台演出就解雇他是不公平的。 -

From Ponzi to Madoff
The year was 1920.The country was the United States of America. The man's name was Charles Ponzi.
Ponzi told people to stop depositing money in a savings account.Instead,they should give it to him to save
for them.Ponzi promised to pay them more than the bank.For example,a savings account might pay you$5
a year for every $100 you deposit.Ponzi,however,would pay you $40 a year for every $ 100 you gave
him to hold.Many people thought this was a good plan.They began to give their money to Ponzi.
How could Ponzi make so much money for people?This is what he did with the money people gave him:
He used some of that money to pay other people who gave him money.However,he also kept a lot of the
money for himself. Soon he had $ 250 million.This was a kind of theft,and it was against the law. The
people who gave him their money didn't think anything was wrong. Ponzi paid them every month,just like a
bank.Ponzi continued this way of working for two years.Then one day,he didn'thave enough money to pay
all the people.They discovered his crime,and he went to prison for fraud.
Ninety years later,people began to hear about a businessman in New York named Bernard Madoff.
People said he gave good advice about money.They said when they gave him their money,he paid them a lot
more than the bank.Madoff helped hospitals,schools,and individuals earn money.Over a period of 40
years,people gave him$170 billion.However,no one investigated what he did with the money.The people
who gave Madoff their money also didn't think anything was wrong because he paid them every month.
One day,Madoff didn't have enough money to pay all the people he needed to pay. That's when people
discovered how Madoff worked:He was taking money from some people to pay other people,just the way
Charles Fonzi did.However,this time,instead of losing millions of dollars,people lost billions.
Madoff was accused of fraud,and the United States government officials arrested him.He didn't have to
go on trial because he said he was guilty.In 2009,a judge sentenced him to 150 years in prison.Bernard
Madoff's crime was even bigger than Ponzi'5.It was the biggest fraud in history.The lesson of this story is
clear:When something seems too good to be true,it probably is!What did Ponzi do with the money people gave him?
A:He spent it all on things for himself.
B:He used some of it to pay other people.
C:He deposited it all in a bank.
D:He kept it all to save for a good plan.答案：B解析：从文章第一段倒数第三句话“Ponzi, however, would pay you $40 a year for every$100 you gave him to hold.”可知答案为C。

Part A
Directions: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A,B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET I. (40 points)
Text 1
We 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?" "And Paul—why didn't pick up that he was friendly just because I had a car?" 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." 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 the doesn'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 to you may save another mistake.
21. This passage is mainly about______.
A) how to interpret what people say
B) what to do when you listen to others talking
C) how to avoid mistakes when you communicate with people
D) why we go wrong with people sometimes
正确答案：C
