　　The manager of a small building company was very surprised to get a bill for two white mice which one of his workmen had bought. He sent for the workman and asked him why he had had the bill sent to the company.

　　“Well,” the workman answered, “you remember the house we were repairing in Nebraska last week, don’t you? One of the things we had to do there was to put in some new electric wiring. Well, in one place we had to pass some wires through a pipe thirty feet long and about an inch across, which was built into solid stone and had four big bends in it. None of us could think how to do this until I had a good idea. I went to a shop and bought two white mice, one of them male and the other female. Then I tied a thread to the body of the male mouse and put him into the pipe at one end, while Bill held the female mouse at the other end and pressed her gently to make her squeak(尖叫). When the male mouse heard the female mouse’s squeaks, he rushed along the pipe to help her. I suppose he was a gentleman even though he was only a mouse.

　　An English saying goes: “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” That means we should relax after a day’s hard work or we’ll be unhealthy.

　　Many students know that if they want to get ideal(理想的) jobs with good salaries, they must do well in high school so they can enter good universities. Therefore, they spend all day studying without time to relax.

　　However, not all students can go to top universities even if they work very hard. Students are pressurized by parents and teachers who are just concerned about their studies and exam scores while ignoring(忽視) their hobbies and individual differences. As a result, students are forced to work harder and harder.

　　Furthermore, there is pressure coming from students themselves. They realize they have a slim chance of getting into a top university as competition is fierce. So, they put a lot of stress on themselves and stay in a nervous state day after day. If they keep it up, they’ll suffer illnesses, both psychological and physical.

　　What students need is relaxation. This doesn’t mean that they should give up their ambitions and stop studying hard. It means “work while you work, and play while you play”. If you can do this, you will improve your health greatly. You’ll feel yourself suddenly fresh, just like recovering from a terrible illness. You’ll find that your studies are not a burden anymore.

　　41. The underlined part in the first paragraph might mean all the following EXCEPT .

　　A. too much work may bring trouble to anyone

　　B. overwork without rest makes one foolish

　　C. Jack becomes dull because he works too much

　　D. anyone who doesn’t work will break down

　　42. What trouble have both the parents and the teachers brought to the students?

　　A. They don’t know how to let the students relax.

　　B. They give too much burden for them to bear.

　　C. They don’t love those who work the hardest.

　　D. They fail to understand what the students need most.

　　43. What causes the students’ pressure from themselves?

　　A. They don’t know how to get to top universities.

　　B. They want to relax but have no chance.

　　C. They fail to relax themselves during their work.

　　D. They think too much about the result of their work.

　　44. What is the passage mainly about?

　　A. The relationship between work and relaxation.

　　B. The serious situation for the poor students.

　　C. Some problems caused by the misunderstanding of learning.

　　D. How to be a healthy and successful learner.

　　45. Which of the following might serve as the best title of the whole passage?

　　Born without a right hand, Nicholas McCarthy has struggled to become a successful left-handed concert pianist.

　　When I was a child, I stayed with my grandmother a lot of the time while my mother was at work. One day some money problems started to arise for my grandmother and the family. They needed a little more income so she decided to sing at the nearby retirement home (養(yǎng)老院).

　　So I had to go with her. I wasn’t sure about it at first, but as soon as my grandmother actually convinced (說服) me to get on stage and start singing, I loved it. I just loved seeing that sparkle (光亮) in those people’s eyes. They would stand up and dance and clap to the beat of the music. Eventually, we were singing at many of the homes in the surrounding area 5 out of 7 days a week.

　　Making other people happy has always made me happy. And during that experience I even discovered my gift, singing. My grandma still sings to those people 15 years later, only for no charge (收費(fèi)) now. I moved to North Carolina when I was 13, leaving my grandma in Florida, but I still carry on her effort and try and go out of my way to do something kind, even if very small, for at least one person every day.
