Bassanio looked at the three boxes, but he did not read the writing on them. He looked at the gold and silver.
“The world is tricked by appearances,” he said. “People often hide ordinary things with beautiful gold, silver, and jewels. People always agree with those who speak well, even if they say foolish things. Many people who seem brave are really cowards. How often do we believe in leaders who turn out to be bad?” Then Bassanio remembered the story of Midas, the man who loved gold too much. He wanted everything to be gold. He wished that he could make everything gold just by touching it. When he could, it was a disaster. He could not eat his golden food, and he was afraid to touch his daughter.
“No, I do not want these beautiful boxes of gold and silver. I will choose the lead box with its ordinary color. It speaks more to me than all the gold and silver in the world. Please give me the key to the lead box. Let happiness be mine.” Bassanio said to himself.
One of the servants gave him the key, and he went to the box and opened it. Portia was very pleased. She could not believe it, until Bassanio opened the box and saw the picture of Portia inside it. When he saw the picture, he loved her even more because the picture was very beautiful. He wondered how anyone could paint such a good picture of her. It was almost as beautiful as Portia herself. He looked at all the parts of the picture. He looked at the eyes and the hair and the eyes. All of them were perfect. But Portia herself even more beautiful than her picture.
The writing inside the box told him that he had chosen the right box. It said that he should go to Portia and look into her eyes. She would be his wife. Bassanio could not believe it. “Is it really true?” he asked. “Will you really be my wife? I am afraid to believe it until you say so.”

My kids sit in Gee’s living room and carefully lift Christmas ornaments (饰品) out of a box. They are excited to see the cartoon characters. Gee stands beside them, quietly explaining each treasure. She tells me that she and Tom built their ornament collection piece by piece. She smiles as we leave with the box.
We first met Tom and Gee in the early days of our marriage. Someone had taken away our rubbish to the rubbish bin, and Jim and I had wondered who. Then one day we noticed him: an elderly man who lived across the street—Tom.
I made cookies and left them on a bench outside with a thank-you note. When we got home that day, we found a letter from Tom, explaining when he’d been fighting a war, neighbors had taken away the rubbish for his young wife, Gee, and he never forgot.
A few years later, Tom died. We wrote a letter to Gee, telling her how thankful we were to have known him. She wrote back and told us she still talked to Tom every day.
These days, we’re planning a move. The house that seemed so huge six years ago is filled with furniture, books, toys and, of course, people. We have packed all the moving boxes, but we can’t seem to put up the “For Sale” sign on the lawn. It’s not just Gee. It’s the man who lets our kids pick peaches off the tree in his front yard. It’s the ladies who leave baskets full of food for our kids.
Jim and I agree to wait until January. This Christmas, we’ll decorate our tree with Gee’s ornaments. Maybe I want to show our thanks to Tom for teaching us what it means to be a neighbor.
38. Which of the following sentences should go in the empty box in the third paragraph?

According to Gallup’s annual Emotions report, people all over the world are more stressed than ever before. Nearly 40 percent of adults from 146 countries reported having experienced worry or stress the day before the survey was carried out.
And it isn’t just adults experiencing these high stress levels; experts have also found a rise in the number of children and youth. According to another study published in EurekAlert, one in five students are so stressed, they’ve considered self-harm. The huge stress they face has been proven to be harmful to their health. Stress can cause worry, anger, depression, self-harming behavior and some other problems. So how can we fight it?
It might sound easier said than done, but studies have shown that the best way to deal with stress is to change your beliefs about it.
The University of Wisconsin carried out a study of 30,000 Americans. Researchers asked them how much stress they had experienced in the past year and whether they believed stress was harming their health.
The researchers concluded that people in the study who were facing huge stress and viewed the stress as harmful had 43 percent higher risk of dying than people who viewed stress as a helpful reply.
More interestingly, those with more active beliefs about stress had the lowest risk of death out of all the people in the study, even lower than those experiencing very little stress.
A separate study carried out by researchers from King’s College London and the University of Marburg showed students with more inactive beliefs about stress felt uncomfortable. They experienced headaches and tiredness during a stressful exam period, compared with students who had more inactive beliefs about stress.
These two studies have proven that stress itself is not bad in fact. It is the belief that stress is bad that is bad. So stress harms your health if you think it does.
42. What’s the purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To express the main idea. B. To show the writing order.
C. To draw a conclusion. D. To introduce the topic.
43. The underlined word “depression” in Paragraph 2 means the state of ________.

45. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Stress itself is not bad but helpful
B. Stress harms your health if you think it does
C. People are much more stressed than ever before
D. Adults and children are experiencing high stress levels
