Most
people
have
trouble
admitting
their
own
faults,

though

they're

more

than
happy
to
point
out
everyone

This
can
be

(41)_________.

After
all,
it's
usually
when
someone
else
tells
us
that
we
have
done
something
wrong that we learn something about ourselves. What we have to do
is take a deep breath, and face up to what we have done. Remember,
when it comes to understanding (42)









, we're not on our
own. Everyone we know lends a helping hand! Of course, doing the
wrong
thing
is
easy,
but
it's
what
we
do
about
our
mistakes
that
counts.
Naturally
we
are
all
good
at
(43)









to believe that we have done anything wrong at all. As we try to justify our actions, our (44)







get more
and more Complicated. We try to convince the listener that we are telling the truth, but it's of no use. There's no
chance at all that they will believe us. And the truth is that it is ourselves we have deceived (
蒙骗

), not them.
That's the very point I'm trying to make. Whatever you do, don't get into the habit of deceiving yourself. What is
difficult is

(45)______ admitting that we are wrong--- especially to ourselves.

It is very likely that many of you have tried to keep a diary at some

A

If you ask someone why he or she wears clothes, the answer will probably be

worn, but people also want to look attractive and appear successful to others!




If
people
only
wore
clothes
for
warmth
and
to
cover
their
bodies,
most
clothing
would
be
simple
and
cheap.
In
most
Western
countries,
however,
clothing is sometimes very expensive. The main reason for this is not the cost of
the
fabric
(
布料
)
or
the
cost
of
making
the
clothes.
The
clothes
are
expensive
because
of
fashion.
Successful
businessmen,
for
example,
often
wear
very
expensive
suits,
shirts
and
ties.
Sometimes
they
pay
thousands
of
dollars
for
a
suit and hundreds of dollars for a tie. It's still just a suit and tie but they pay these

prices

because

of
the
famous

name

of
the
designer.
A
suit
costing
much
less would be just as warm and would cover the wearer's body just as well.







Fashion
is
constantly

(
不断地
)
changing,
which
means
that
people
who
want to be fashionable have to buy new clothes every few months, even if last month's clothes have only been
worn once or twice. Some people have
wardrobes
(
衣柜
) full of clothes that have hardly been worn but are no
longer in fashion. Being fashionable, therefore, can be a very expensive pastime!

Questions 56-58: Choose the best answer from A, B, C and D according to the passage.

56. Why do people wear clothes?







A. Only to cover themselves.













B. Just to make themselves attractive.







C. Just because of fashion.















D. For a variety of reasons.

57. Successful businessmen buy very expensive suits because of the________.






A. cost of the fabric























B. famous name of the designer







C. cost of making them


















D. good packages

58. According to the passage, fashionable people have to________.






A. wear their clothes only once













B. buy new clothes regularly






C. wear last month's clothes















D. buy new Clothes once or twice

Questions 59-60: Decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F) according to the passage.

59. Successful businessmen pay thousands of dollars for a tie.
60. Some clothes are no longer in fashion though they have hardly been worn.
























































B
There're two main things that make aircraft engineering difficult:
the
need
to
make
every
part
as
reliable

(
可靠的
)
as
possible
and the need to build everything as light as possible.

（
61
）
_____________________
Given
a
certain
power
of
engine
and
a
certain
fuel
consumption


(
消耗

),
there
is
a
practical
limit
to
the
total
weight
of
the
aircraft
that
can
be
made
to
fly.
(62)










So
the
structure
of
the
aircraft
has
to
be
as
small
and
light
as
safety
and
efficiency

(
效能
)
will
allow.
The
designer
must
calculate (
计算
) the normal
load
(
负荷

that each part will bear. This specialist is called the
account of any unusual stress that may be put on the part.


The stress man's calculations go to the designer of the part, and he must make it as strong as the stress man
says is necessary. (63)




















Each separate part is tested, then a whole
assembly
(
装配
) --for
example,
a
complete
wing,
and
finally
the
whole
aeroplane.
When
a
new
type
of
aeroplane
is
being
made.
normally only one of the first three made will be flown. Two will be destroyed on the ground in structural tests.
(64)______________





(65)

















The first is to find the
resistance
(
阻力
) to loading of the wings, tail, etc. until
they reach their largest amount of load and
collapse
(
崩溃
). The other test is for
fatigue
(
疲乏

) strength. When
a plane has passed all the tests it can get a
government
certificate

(
证书
) of airworthiness, without which it is
illegal to fly, except for test flying.
Questions 61-65: Choose from the sentences A-G to complete the passage. There are two extra sentences which
you do not need to use.
A, Two kinds of ground strength tests are carried out.
B. One or two samples are always tested to prove that they are as strong as the designer intended.
C. Each may be well under what the structure could stand as a single load, but many repetitions can result in
collapse.
D. The third one will be tested in the air.
E. Making the working parts reliable is as difficult as making the structure strong enough:
F. The fact that an aeroplane is up in the air and cannot stop if anything goes wrong, makes it
