No one else knew about the extra club in Zach Nash’s golf bag. It belonged to a friend, and Zach forgot it was there as he played his way to victory in a junior tournament（錦標(biāo)賽）last summer in Wisconsin, US.

The 14-year-old accepted his medal, celebrated with his grandparents who had come from a long way to watch. But when he stopped by his country club to share the news, a professional player noticed something wrong. “Count your clubs,” he told the teenager.

Fifteen—one more than allowed. Zach’s eyes filled with tears.

If Zach had just won a basketball championship or a soccer game and someone had discovered a violation after the win, it would not have mattered. It is nothing unusual for a soccer player to dive to the turf to draw fouls（假摔以使對(duì)方犯規(guī)）.

Golf is different. In a win-at-all-costs world, the game holds itself to a higher standard. Golf isn’t a game where referees watch closely. In golf tournaments, dozens of competitors are spread across acres of land, so officials cannot hope to see each shot. Competitors call penalties（處罰）on themselves.

 “It was a sport for gentlemen, and gentlemen did not care about winning. They care about doing the right thing,” said Robert Simon, a golf coach at Hamilton College in New York.

Honesty became a medal of honor. When one of the game’s early stars, Bobby Jones, was praised for calling a penalty on himself at the 1925 US Open, he replied: “You might as well praise a man for not robbing a bank.”

So even the error had no effect on Zach’s final score—he has never used the extra club, the teenager packed up his medal and dropped it in the mail. “But this is golf, and rules are rules. I just knew what I had to do,” he said.   

Then came another tournament. Before teeing off(開球), Zach counted his clubs—four times.

What can we infer from the text?  

   A. A friend put an extra club in Zach’s bag.     

   B. Zach returned the medal that he had won.    

   C. Zach’s grandparents encouraged him to play fair.

   D. Zach regretted meeting with the professional player.

According to Robert, golf is different from other sports in that ______.

A. honor comes before victory

B. players are superior to coaches

C. referees have to watch each shot     

D. players needn't care about medals

What can be learned from the underlined sentence?

   A. One should be praised for not robbing a bank.

B. Bobby looked down upon bank robbers.

C. Little did Bobby care about the penalty.

D. Observing rules demands no praise.

Why did Zach count his clubs four times before the following tournament?

A. He remembered the lesson.                        B. He lacked self-confidence.

C. He felt a little too nervous.       

D. He was no good with numbers.

There are three branches of medicine. One is called “doctor medicine” or “scientific medicine”. Scientific doctors try to observe sickness, look for logical pattern, and then find out how the human body works. From there they figure out what treatments may work. This kind of medicine is believed to date from the 4^th century BC. Although nowadays it is successful, in the ancient this approach(方法) probably did not cure many patients.

The second kind of medicine is called “natural cures” or “folk medicine”, in which less educated people try to cure sickness with various herbs. These folk healers also use observation and logic, but they are not so aware of it. They try things until they find something that seems to work, and then they keep doing that. Folk medicine flourished(興起) long before the development of scientific medicine and was more successful in ancient times.

The third kind is called “health spas（水療）” or “faith healing”. Sometimes this may be as simple as touching the holy man and being immediately healed. Other times, a magician may make you a magic charm, or say a spell(咒語(yǔ)), to cure you. Some religious groups organize healing shrines(圣壇) for the sick. In these places people rest, get plenty of sleep, eat healthy food, drink water instead of wine, and exercise in various ways. They also talk to the priests(牧師) and pray to the gods. If you are feeling depressed or you have been working too hard, going to these places may be just the right thing to make you feel better.

    The following story took place long ago in Israel. One day when government officials were using smoke to force the mice inside a hole to come out, they saw two mice, after all the others escaped, squeezing slowly out at the exit of the hole. The strange thing was that after they came out, they did not run away immediately. Instead, one chased after the other near the exit of the hole. It seemed that one was trying to bite the tail of the other.

    Everyone was puzzled, so they stepped closer to take a look. They realized that one of the mice was blind and could not see anything, and the other one was trying to allow the blind mouse to bite on his tail so he could pull the blind one with him to escape.

     After witnessing what happened, everyone was speechless and lost in thought. Then, one serious Rome official said: “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of emperor and minister.”  A smart Israeli said: “I think husband and wife.” A Chinese, who was accustomed to the firm tradition of loyalty to parents, said: “I think mother and son.” And a pure Samaritan said......

— What’s the main purpose of tonight’s meeting?

— We are going to talk about the problem _______ at the last meeting.

A. having discussed       B. to be discussed   C. being discussed         D. discussed

One day in my class，Maria shared her feelings about money，“Money worries me.I think I want to live without money because I hate it.I HATE MONEY.”We were all touched by Maria's words as they reminded us of the spiritual burdens that money managing can bring to us.After class I offered to help Maria deal with her financial problems.She hesitated to accept my offer，and I could see from the expression on her face that she was afraid of what it might involve.I quickly promised her that I wouldn't make her do more than she was able to.I told her frankly that I didn't enjoy managing my money any more than she did hers and wouldn't burden her with guilt，judgments，or impossible tasks.All I would ask her to do was to let me help her look at her fears and try to make some sense of them.

Maria still resisted my offer，and I can remember the excuses she gave me as they were the repeated complaints I had heard from so many people.“I'll never understand money，”she said.“My facts are meaningless.”“I don't deserve to have money.”“I never have enough.”“I have too little to manage.”“My financial position isn't worth looking at.”and the most devastating one of all，“I just can't do it.”

Going home that day，I couldn't get Maria out of my mind：her attitude conveyed the same negativity and  fear that I believed annoyed many people.I was sure it was this attitude that prevented people from managing their money effectively.My counseling(咨詢)has taught me that these anxieties are inseparably connected to our self??doubts and fear for survival.Many of us are terrified of handling our money because we don't believe we can do it well，and to do it wrong would put our very existence at risk.

On a deeper level we know that money is not the source of life，but sense of worth drives us to act as if it were.It locks us up in self??doubts and prevents us from tapping into the true source of our management power，our spirit.

The underlined word“devastating”in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.

A．convincing     B．interesting     C．shocking       D．valuable

Maria's words moved the author and others because they were ________.

A．in the same financial trouble          B．in the same financial condition

C．of the same family background      D．of the same feeling over the issue

As for money managing，the author intended to tell Maria how to ________.

A．overcome her fears                B．make wise decisions

C．a(chǎn)void making mistakes           D．learn the necessary skills

Maria wouldn't take the author's offer of help for fear of________.

A．being forced to share her money with others

B．having to do something beyond her reach

C．being found guilty of making impossible errors

D．showing her judgment about money

According to the author，people's anxieties about managing money result from their understanding of money as the only source of ________.

A．life        B．values   C．spirit                    D．power
