6.I had an experience some years ago which taught me something about the ways in which people make a bad situation worse by blaming themselves.One January,I had to conduct two funerals on successive days for two elderly women in my community.Both had died"full of years"as the Bible would say; both yielded to the normal wearing out of the body after a long and full life.Their homes happened to be near each other,so I paid condolence (吊唁) calls on the two families on the same afternoon.
At the first home,the son of the dead woman said to me,"If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow,she would be alive today.It's my fault that she died."At the second home,the son of the other dead woman said,"If only I hadn't insisted on my mother's going to Florida,she would be alive today.That long airplane ride,the abrupt change of climate,was more than she could take.It's my fault that she's dead."
When things don't turn out as we would like them to,it is very tempting to assume that had we done things differently,the story would have had a happier ending.Priests(牧師) know that any time there is a death,the survivors will feel guilty.Because the course of action they took turned out badly,they believe that the opposite course-keeping Mother at home,delaying the operation would have turned out better.After all,how could it have turned out any worse?
There seem to be two elements involved in our readiness to feel guilt.The first is our pressing need to believe that the world makes sense,that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens.That leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really exist and where they exist only in our minds.
The second element is the concept that we are the cause of what happens,especially the bad things that happen.It seems to be a short step from believing that every event has a cause to believing that every disaster is our fault.The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood.Psychologists speak of the infantile(幼兒的) myth of omnipotence(萬能).A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs,and that he makes everything happen in it.He wakes up in the morning and orders the rest of the world to its tasks.He cries,and someone comes to attend to him.When he is hungry,people feed him,and when he is wet,people change him.Very often,we do not completely outgrow that infantile concept that our wishes cause things to happen.

50.What is said about the two dead elderly women?A
A.They lived out a natural life.
B.They died of exhaustion after the long plane ride.
C.They weren't accustomed to the change in weather.
D.They died due to lack of care by family members.
51.The author had to conduct the two women's funerals probably becauseD.

B.he was an official from the community
C.he had great sympathy for the dead                 
D.he was priest of the local church
52.People feel guilty for the deaths of their loved ones becauseB.
A.they couldn't find a better way to express their deep sorrow
B.they believe that they were responsible
C.they had overlooked the natural course of events
D.they didn't know things often turn out in the opposite direction
53.In the context of the passage,"…the world makes sense"(Line 2,Para,4)probably means thatC.
A.everything in the world is decided in advance
B.the world can be interpreted in different ways
C.there's an explanation for everything in the world
D.we have to be sensible in order to understand the world

3.A new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.
Frank Hurley's pictures would be outstanding----undoubtedly first-rate photo-journalism---if they had been made last week.In fact,they were shot from 1914through 1916,most of them after a disastrous shipwreck(海灘),by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival.Many of the images were stored in an ice chest,under freezing water,in the damaged wooden ship.
The ship was the Endurance,a small,tight,Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists,27men in all,to the southernmost shore of Antarctica's Weddell Sea.From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled(雪橇) across the continent.The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done.Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912but had died with his four companions on the march back.
As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story The Endurance,adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort.Scott's last journey,completed as be lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger,caught the world's imagination,and a film made in his honor drew crowds.Shackleton,a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100miles of the South Pole in 1908,started a business before his 1914voyage to make money from movie and still photography.Frank Hurley,a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic,was hired to make the images,most of which have never before been published.
13.What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley?D
A.They were made last week
B.They showed undersea sceneries
C.They were found by a cameraman
D.They recorded a disastrous adventure
14.Who reached the South Pole first according to the text?C
A.Frank Hurley          
B.Ernest Shackleton
C.Robert Falcon Scott     
D.Caroline Alexander
15.What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914voyage?C
A.Artistic creation       
B.Scientific research
C.Money making        
D.Treasure hunting.
