第二部分阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分） 第一节（共15小题）；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D），选出最佳选项。
A
There was once a group of monks(和尚) who went to Australia to spread Buddhism. Everything had to be started from the beginning. After buying a plot of land, they bought bricks, construction materials and with their own hands, they started to build a temple.
A young monk took charge of building the brick wall. He took great care in laying the bricks, ensuring that they were leveled. His progress was slow, due to the great care in his work, but he wasn’t bothered,. Finally, when he completed the wall, something caught his eye and made him angry. Despite the great care he took in his work, he had overlooked two bricks that were laid slanted(倾斜). Because of that, whenever visitors came to the temple, the young monk would show them around to all places, except the brick wall that he had built.
One day, two elderly monks came to the temple. No matter how the young monk tried to bypass the brick wall, the old monks insisted on touring the area around that brick wall. Unwillingly, the young monk brought the elders to the brick wall.
“Oh, this is such a beautiful brick wall,” one of the elderly monks said. “Sir, are you sure? Haven’t you seen the two ugly bricks that are slanted in the middle of the wall?” the young monk asked in surprise. “Yes, I have.” replied the elderly monk. “But I also saw the remaining 98 good bricks that made this a beautiful wall!”
You see, most of the time, we focus on things that went wrong or didn’t live to our expectations. However, we’ve forgotten the fact that they are only two bad bricks in the wall and we should not overlook the beauty of the remaining 98 bricks.
21. What lesson can we learn from the story?
A. Grasp all, lose all. B. It is no use crying over spilt milk.
C. Don’t miss the forest for the trees. D. No sweat, no sweet. 22. Which of the following words can best describe the young monk when he built the brick wall?
A. Careful and patient. B. Lazy and careless.
C. Hard-working but impatient. D. Upset and worried. 23. What did the elderly monk think of the wall built by the young monk? A. He thought it was not firm. B. He thought highly of it.
C. He thought it was ugly. D. He thought it was slanted.
B
Scientists find that hard-working people live longer than average men and women. Career women are healthier than housewives. Evidence shows that the jobless are in poorer health than jobholders. An investigation shows that whenever the unemployment rate increases by 1%, the death rate increases by 2%. All this comes down to one point, work is helpful to health.
Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy away from loneliness. Researches show that people feel unhappy, worried and lonely when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest are those who are busy. Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. By work people come into contact with each other. By collective activity they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It affects
