　　The City Mouse and the Country Mouse
　　Once there were two mice. They were friends. One mouse lived in the country; the other mouse lived in the city. After many years the Country mouse saw the City mouse; he said, "Do come and see me at my house in the country." So the City mouse went. The City mouse said, "This food is not good, and your house is not good. Why do you live in a hole in the field? You should come and live in the city. You would live in a nice house made of stone. You would have nice food to eat. You must come and see me at my house in the city."

　　There are few families in the United States that do not have either a radio or television set. Both of them have become a necessary part of our daily life, keeping us filled with the news of the day, teaching us in many fields of interest, and making us happy with singing, dancing and acting.
　　Marconl, the Italian inventor, who gave us the radio, probably didn’t know how much his great invention would have done for the world in the years to come. Radio had, perhaps done as much as any other communication tool. Things of the world can be reported to people everywhere a few seconds after they happen. Travelers in or out of-the-way places, ships at sea even astronauts round the earth are able to keep in touch with each other by radio.
　　Television is another important invention. It lets us see as well as hear the actor. Since its appearance, TV has done a great deal in the daily life of people everywhere. Many programs are now televised in color.
　　Perhaps the most modern invention is “Telstar”, a “star” moving round the earth. It makes it possible for the people all over the world to be closer than ever before. Now a family in Chicago can watch on TV a motor-car race in Italy, a table tennis competition in Beijing or a volleyball match in Japan as these events are actually happening!
　　76. The passage tells us that __________ in the U.S.A. have no radio or television set.
　　A. few families   B. all the families    C. many families   D. a few families
　　77. Who do you think the writer of the passage is?
　　A. An Italian.     B. A Japanese.       C. An American.    D. A Chinese.
　　78. Why does the passage say radio and TV have become a necessary part of our daily life?
　　A. Because they have touched nearly everything in our life.
　　B. Because men would not live happily without them.
　　C. Because they are the only ways to spread information.
　　D. Because no communication means no life.
　　79. What is a “Telstar” used to do according to the passage?
　　A. To receive and store information only.
　　B. To move around the earth just like the moon.
　　C. To give light onto the earth at night.
　　D. To help send out radio or TV information to the world.

　　“Would you tell me which way I should go from here?” asked Alice.
　　“That depends a good deal on where you want to get,” said the Cat.
　　“I really don’t care where” replied Alice.
　　“Then it doesn’t much matter which way you go,” said the Cat.
　　--- from “ Alice in Wonderland ”
　　My name is David. And I have a brother called Mike.
　　One day, my brother called me and asked me for some advice. He was trying to decide between two job offers:
　　Job 1 - The first job was your typical 40 hour a week “office” job.
　　Job 2 - The second job was more of a career in the insurance industry(保险业), where he would start at the bottom, and after many years and many long hours eventually rise to the top (if he was good).
　　The second job did not pay as well as the first job (at the beginning), but the pay-off of the second job (in the future) was much greater than the first job. So which job should my brother take? Well the answer is…it depends.
　　Just like the Cat was trying to tell Alice, which road you take depends a great deal on where you want to end up.
　　Begin with the End in Mind
　　I asked my brother what was his life’s purpose. He said his purpose was to “teach,” but he wanted to make a lot of money first. I told my brother to forget about the money, and I advised him to focus on his purpose. I then asked him which job best supported his end result of “teaching.” He said the first job best supported his goal because he would only have to work 40 hours a week, which would give him spare time to teach. He continued on to say, “but if I take job number two, I can work hard and make more money, then I can retire early and “teach” later in life.” I again advised him to “focus” on his purpose, not money. Things don’t end wrong, they begin wrong!
　　You Can’t Ride Two Horses Well
　　It would be very difficult to have a successful teaching career while you’re working 70-80 hours a week in the insurance business; no one can ride two horses well. As they say, you can do anything, but not everything. I advised him to get started today by choosing the job that best supported that decision.
　　Tomorrow Never Comes
　　My brother was thinking that he could always start teaching later in life, but the reality is, tomorrow never comes. Unless you decide right now to follow your feelings, they will probably never be completed. You only live once, don’t go to the end of your life with one regret.
　　The Money Will Come
　　My brother seemed to be overly concerned with making money. I told him not to be anxious about making money. You will always have greater money when you’re doing what you love.
　　In a word, whenever you’re at a cross-road, be sure to make the decision that best supports the goal of your life. If you do, then you will be well on your way.
