12．When I was in college，I heard about a book titled"Looking Out for Number One"．I never read the book，and I didn't like it．I think it was because the title turned me off．I hadn't been taught to be so selfish that I should focus on only me．I thought I needed to help others and，along the way，I would also help myself．Now，I realize I should have at least considered learning more about looking out for number one．
    Many years after seeing the book about looking out for number one，I'm realizing number one，me，is the person I should care first．Jeffrey Gitomer asks the question，"Who is the most important person in the world？"Most people answer，"the customer．"He then asks，"If there were only two people left in the world，the customer and you，who would you want to survive （生存）？"Now the answer is me．
    It makes sense that if we can't help ourselves first，we will never be ready to help others．We all need to learn to control our lives and make the best decisions for ourselves．That will put us in the position to help others in the future．But many of us are slow to understand this．
    It is said that happiness will bring success，but success doesn't always bring happiness．We all want to be happy and successful．Some of us can be very happy when our basic needs are met and our family are safe．Others will seek for high levels of success，thinking that will bring happiness．I'm sure we can think of some people who are very successful，according to the world's standards （標(biāo)準(zhǔn)），but they appear to be unhappy sometimes．This is because they have been so busy working for somebody else's goals that they haven't considered their own needs．
61．The underlined phrase"turned me off"in Paragraph One probably means"A"．
A．made me boredB．made me excited
C．made me happyD．made me surprised
62．Who does the writer think is the most important person in the world？D
A．The customer．B．Others．
C．Jeffery Gitomer．D．Himself．
63．From the third paragraph，we can learnB．
A．we should help others instead of ourselves
B．a(chǎn)ctually few of us understand this idea earlier
C．helping others can help us to control our lives
D．we need to help others make the best decisions
64．Sometimes successful people feel unhappy becauseB．
A．they seek for too high levels of success
B．they haven't worked for their own goals
C．their basic needs are not completely met
D．they think success can't bring happiness
65．The best title for the passage can beC．
A．Happiness and Success Come TogetherB．Always Helping Others First
C．The Most Important People in the WorldD．Looking Out for Number One．

6．When two people meet，there are a lot of ways of greeting．The ways of greeting are not always the same in different countries．
In America，two people usually greet each other with a handshake．It is a way to show respect（尊重） to the other person．Athletes from opposite teams shake hands before a game for the same reason．However，most Americans don't shake hands when they meet people they already know well．When American friends meet each other，they might only wave（揮手），or maybe just nod（點(diǎn)頭） their heads．
In New Zealand，there is a special way of greeting called"Hongi"．In the greeting，two people press their noses and foreheads（前額） together and close their eyes．This is an old tradition that comes from the Maori，who were the first people to live in New Zealand．Even today，many New Zealanders still press their foreheads when they meet．
Kissing is sometimes used as a way to greet someone．In some countries，important people used to wear special rings．It was the custom for visitors to kiss these rings when they came for a meeting．In France，when people meet，they sometimes kiss each other on the face．
In Japan，people bow to each other every time they meet．Even family members bow to each other．People decide how low to bow depending on how respected the other person is．
Today，new ways of greeting are created all the time．People can do this with a quick"hi"，a handshake，or even a simple smile．The important thing is that the people they are greeting understand them．
69．The passage mainly talks aboutA．
A．different ways of greeting
B．how to be a polite person
C．how to show respect to others
D．ways of saying hello in different languages
70．The underlined part"the same reason"refers toB．
A．showing love
B．showing respect
C．thanking each other
D．introducing each other
71．We can learn from the third paragraph thatD．
A．it's impolite to press one's nose in New Zealand
B．Hongi is a kind of traditional food in New Zealand
C．the Maori used to be an old village in New Zealand
D．pressing the forehead is an old tradition in New Zealand
72．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage？B
A．It's OK to just nod heads when American friends meet．
B．Family members in Japan do not bow to each other．
C．In some countries rings were once used for kissing．
D．The ways of greeting are changing over time．
