In giving advice, you must learn to understand the person’s level of judgment. There will be some people who come to you with unconnected knowledge, talking about, say, Vitamin B 12 and other modern _35_ . When they ask advice, begin at that level. Unless you start at their own level, they will not be able to understand. You must explain to them in scientific terms the effects of the food they eat, and how they need to _36_ it.
You have to train yourself to be very _37_ . Staying at one level is not being a free man. If we stay at a very high level all the time, that is not practical. A limitless person goes _38_ from one level of thinking to another, according to his circumstances. To do this we must get rid of our unwillingness to change our way of thinking or behavior, become friends with everyone, and have the same loving feelings for everyone. Then we can give advice to all kinds of people. If there is someone or something you dislike, you are still _39_ , and your ability to give advice is reduced. For anyone, the same. A free person acts like that.
You cannot stay with a sick person all the time. You must _40_ a person’s freedom as much as you can. If people really want to die, let them -- it is their freedom. The point is never to become an authority _41_ ; remain a friend or advisor. People should not come back _42_ for consultation(咨询); if they do, your advice has been incomplete--you did not know how to give the _43_ advice about freedom. If they do not understand that, sick people become slaves;they are still afraid inside, and are _44_ . That is no way to build a healthy world and help people become happy and free.

III. Reading Comprehension（56分） Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
The world was sharply separated into men and women, because that was the way we believed it should be. We hold this firm belief and made efforts to keep this _45_ . When a baby came to the world, he or she was expected to play different roles – boys were portrayed as noisy and naughty ones who people were more likely to _46_ while girls were bound by strict social requirements to be lovely and _47_ . People became the product of their sex. Their social roles were determined when they were _48_ . Males were the producers of cool reasoning and were capable of _49_ . And being emotional was considered as the feature of females and their main activity location was _50_ .
_51_ , with the development of civilization and women’s self-consciousness, more and more women have realized that such natural and physical differences between man and woman have no _52_ with the differences between male and female excellence. Women are now confident to _53_ the concepts as “male leadership” and “male power”, which are only terms invented by men and serve in men’s _54_ . Such remarkable change in people’s viewpoint may well explain the gradual _55_ of single-sex schools. The aim of education is to stimulate imagination, encourage free thinking and keep alive various interests. But the single-sex school follows the same regulations and _56_ a set of separate subjects for males or females. In single-sex schools, instead of being offered a rich expansion of experience, students have access to _57_ knowledge. Such education harms individual freedom and kills the possibility for a young person to develop into a(n) _58_ human. Furthermore, such sexual distinction(差异) is also dangerous as it breaks up the sense of community by _59_ people into two sex groups, which eventually damages the development of human civilization. 45 46 47
