阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。A woman who had been diagnosed with cancer had been given 3 months to live.So she told her pastor which songs she wanted sung at the service，what scriptures she would like read，and what she wanted to be wearing.The woman also told her pastor that she wanted to be buried with her favorite bible.“There’s one more thing.” she said excitedly.“I want to be buried with a fork in my right hand.” The pastor stood looking at the woman not knowing quite what to say.The woman explained，“In all my years of attending church socials and functions where food was involved；my favorite part was when whoever was clearing away the dishes of the main course would lean over and say ‘you can keep your fork’. It was my favorite part because I knew that something better was coming.So I just want people to see me there in that casket with a fork in my hand and I want them to wonder ‘What’s with the fork？’ Then I want you to tell them，‘Something better is coming，so keep your fork too.’” The pastor’s eyes were welled up with tears of joy as he hugged the woman goodbye.He knew this would be one of the last times he would see her before her death.But he also knew that the woman had a better grasp of heaven than he did.She knew that something better was coming.At the funeral the pastor told the people how he could not stop thinking about the fork and told them that they probably would not be able to stop thinking about it either.So the next time you reach down for your fork，let it remind you so gently that there is something better coming.Keep your fork.The best is yet to come.56．Why did the woman have a talk with the pastor？Because ________.A．she wouldn’t like to dieB．she was anxious about deathC．she wanted to discuss certain aspects of her final deathD．she begged him to help her to get rid of her illness57．When hearing the woman’s last wish，the pastor felt ________.A．shocked B．excitedC．entertained D．amazed58．Someone says to you “Keep your fork”，which suggests ________.A．the main course will be servedB．your favorite is comingC．the service will begin soonD．the service will be finished at once59．Why was the pastor so pleased when he heard her expression？Because________.A．he understood the woman betterB．he realized she has understood death completelyC．the woman didn’t ask for too muchD．he could carry out her last wishesBBefore you can communicate with others，you must learn to communicate with yourself.Discover your own thoughts and feelings.Put what you think and feel into words，say, write a composition or a letter.You can then send your ideas and feelings to others.Sometimes writing a song or a poem can help you do this.Are you pleased that your father had offered to take you out for a holiday？Express your thankfulness to him by giving him a hug.Do you feel proud because a friend of yours won in a game？Share your pride by telling him how much you are proud of him.These are good feelings that you would like to share with others.Learning to express bad feelings is important，too.For example，you and your friend have disagreement on a certain point.You feel very unhappy about it.It’s wise to tell your friend what you think about the matter and tell him that it’s important that you two should reach an agreement because you need the support from a friend like him.If you have too many unexpressed feelings，they can affect both your physical and mental health.60．Which of the following statements is NOT true?A．Learn to communicate with yourself first.B．Share with your friends both your happiness and sadness.C．We should avoid expressing bad feelings.D．Don’t forget to say thanks to your parents when they’ve done something for you.61．What feelings are bad for your health?A．Good.
