7.On any collecting trip,obtaining the animals is,as a rule,the simplest part of the job.As soon as the local people discover that you are willing to buy live wild creatures,the stuff comes (32)pouring (pour) in; ninety percent is,of course,the more common types,but they do bring (33)anoccasional rarity.If you want the really rare stuff,you generally have to go out and find it yourself.
The chief difficulty you have when you have got a newly (34)caught (catch) animal is not so much the shock it might be suffering,but the fact (35)thatbeing caught forces it to exist close to a creature it regards as an enemy of the (36)worst (bad) possible sort:yourself.On many occasions an animal may take beautifully to being in a cage but (37)getting (get) used to the idea of living with people is another matter.This is the difficulty you (38)canonly deal with by patience and kindness.For month after month an animal may try to bite you every time you approach its cage,(39)untilyou despair of ever making a favorable impression on it.Then,one day,sometimes without any preliminary warning,it will trot forward and take food from your hand,or allow you to tickle it behind the ears.(40)At such moments you feel that all the waiting in the world was worthwhile.

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 B12and other modern(41)concepts.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 (42)changeit.
You have to train yourself to be very(43)flexible.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 (44)freelyfrom 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(45)limited,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 (46)respect 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(47)figure; remain a friend or advisor.People should not come back (48)repeatedlyfor consultation; if they do,your advice has been incomplete-you did not know how to give the (49)properadvice about freedom.If they do not understand that,sick people become slaves; they are still afraid inside,and are(50)dependent.That is no way to build a healthy world and help people become happy and free.

9.Happy birthday!Do birthday really make people happy?Of course they do.Birthdays celebrate the day when we were born.Besides,that extra candle on the cake suggests another year of growth and maturity(成熟)-or so we hope.We all like to imagine that we are getting wiser and not just older.Most of us enjoy seeing the wonder of growth in others,as well.For instance,seeing our children develop and learn new things makes us feel proud.For Americans,like people in most cultures,growing up is a wonderful process.But growing old?That is a different story.
Growing old is not exactly for people in youth-oriented (以年輕人為中心)American culture.Most Americans like to look young,act young and feel young.As the old saying goes,"You're young as you feel."Older people joke about how many years young they are,rather than how many years old.People in some countries value the aged as a source of experience and wisdom.But Americans seem to favor those who are young,or at least"young at heart".
Many older Americans find the"golden years"to be anything but golden.Economically,"senior citizens"often try just to get by.Retirement at the age of 65 brings a sharp decrease in personal income.Social security benefits usually cannot make up the difference.Older people may suffer from poor nutrition (營養(yǎng)),medical care,and housing.Some even have the experience of age discrimination(歧視).American sociologist(社會學(xué)家) Pat Moore once dressed up like an older person and wandered city streets.She was often treated rudely--even cheated and robbed.However,dressed as a young person,she received much more respect.
Unfortunately,the elderly population in America is increasing fast.Why?People are living longer.Fewer babies are being born.And middle-aged"baby boom ers"(嬰兒潮) are rapidly entering the group of the elderly.America may soon be a place where wrinkles(皺紋)are"in".Marketing experts are already noticing this growing group of consumers.
37.Growing up is a wonderful thing becauseB.
A.people can celebrate their birthdays.
B.people can become more and mature and wiser.
C.people can receive many presents.
D.people will feel younger at heart.
38.We can infer from the second paragraph thatD.
A.young people lack experience and wisdom.
B.American older people often joke about their old age.
C.American culture is very young.
D.different countries have different opinions on the old age.
39.The underlined sentence (i n Paragraph 3)means"B."
A.the golden years can make the old earn lots of money and receive good medical care
B.the old people in America are probably leading a hard life without good nutrition,medical care or housing.
C.the old in America have to retire at the age of 65.
D.American social security benefits are not good.
40.From the last paragraph we know that the underlined word"in"can be replaced byD.
A.serious    B.bad     C.disappearing slowly      D.growing fast.
