Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers said, “Barbara, be enthusiastic! Enthusiasm
will take you further than any amount of experience.” How right they were!
“Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm,” wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is the paste that helps you hang on there when the going gets tough. It is the inner voice that whispers, “I can do it!” when others shout, “No, you can’t!” It took years and years for the early work of Barbara Mc Clintock, a geneticist(遗传学家) who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted. Yet she didn’t let up on (放松) her experiments. Work was such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping.
We are all born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic wonder and it is this childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such youthful air, whatever their age. At 90, cellist (大提琴家) Pablo Casals would start his day by playing Bach. As the music flowed through his fingers, his bent shoulders would straighten and joy would reappear in his eyes. As author and poet Samuel once wrote, “Years make the skin old, but to give up enthusiasm makes the soul old.”
Enthusiastic people also love what they do, regardless of money, title or power. Patricia Mcllrath, retired director of the Missouri Repertory Theater in Kansas City, was once asked where she got her enthusiasm. She replied, “My father, a lawyer, long ago told me, I never made a penny until I stopped working for money.”
If we cannot do what we love as a fulltime career, we can do it as a hobby. Elizabeth Layton of Wellsville, Kan, was 68 before she began to draw. This activity ended her sadness that had troubled her for at least 30 years, and the quality of her work led one critic to say, “I am persuaded to call Layton a genius.”
We can’t afford to waste tears on “might-have-beens”. We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after “what-can-be”. We need to live each moment whole-heartedly, with all our senses—finding pleasure in the sweet smell of a backyard garden, the simple picture of a six-year-old, and the beauty of a rainbow. 68. The passage mainly shows us ____. A. enthusiasm leads to everything
B. enthusiasm helps us to succeed to a greater degree C. enthusiasm makes us experience more life D. we can do nothing without enthusiasm
69. From the example of the Nobel Prize winner Barbara Mc Clitock, we may find ____. A. enthusiasm can encourage us in difficult times
B. enthusiastic people always get a deep pleasure from work C. you can’t make any achievement if you have no enthusiasm D. enthusiastic people are sure to gain great fame in the end 70. The underlined sentence in Paragraph Three suggests ____.
A. time and tide wait for no man B. we grow old as time goes on
C. people feel young with enthusiasm D. our soul becomes old with enthusiasm 71. The main idea of the last paragraph is ____.
A. we should try heart and soul to win what we want
B. enthusiasm can give us pleasure, though we have to sweat C. we have not enough money to buy what we need D. enthusiasm with sweat is what we need

阅读下面短文，并根据短文后面的要求答题。（请注意问题后的字数要求）
Experts are finding your standard first aid response may be the worst thing you can do in an emergency. Here’s how to update your first aid kit.
CUTS AND SCRAPES
When the skin isn’t broken, it’s hard to beat iodine (碘酒) for killing bacteria(细菌). 74.
_____________doctors use it to clean before surgery. But when there’s a cut, full – strength iodine and rubbing alcohol can be harmful to skin cells, preventing healing. Putting iodine on cuts and wounds kills bacteria, but it won’t clean the wound. The most effective way is washing the wound with water.
BURNS
If you spread some butter on the burn to ease the pain, it isn’t a good idea. Butter was thought to cool the burn, but it can cause infection and create and environment for bacterial growth. Run the burn under cool water immediately to help remove the heat and put an end to the damaging process. Wrap the burn with a bandage, and keep it clean and dry. If blisters (水泡) form, don’t break them.
POISONING
When a child swallows anything poisonous, parents probably think they’re well prepared if ipecac (催吐剂) is on hand. Wrong. Ipecac was thought to be a good way to treat a child who had swallowed a poisonous substance, but not any more because it doesn’t always remove the toxic substance (有毒物质). That may cause dehydration (脱水) and prevent doctors from giving other treatments.
EXCESS BLEEDING
Everyone learns how to stop bleeding with a tourniquet (止血带). But studies show this method causes more harm than good. Tourniquets can increase the risk of tissue damage or even the loss of a limb. Apply direct pressure to the wound. Simply place a clean cloth on the wound and press firmly; don’t remove the cloth, event if it gets black. If necessary, add more cloths. If that’s not enough, you can further slow the blood flow by applying pressure to the main artery (动脉) of the upper arm or leg.
72．What is the best title of the passage? (Please answer within 6 words.)
73．Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?
However, by studying we know this method does more harm instead of doing more good. 74．Please fill in the blank with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence.
(Please answer within 5 words.)
75．Translate the underlined sentence in the passage into Chinese.

In the modern world, it is important to be well-informed. Success in many fields depends on getting the latest information. At the same time, failure in policy-making often results from the lack of necessary information.

It is believed that information will play a more and more important part in the future.
