The young people concerned usually favored love, and their parents usually favored money. In the novels of the period the dilemma was felicitously (巧妙地) solved by the discovery, (37) the last page (38) the apparently penniless heroine was really a great heiress. But in real life young men (39) hoped for this denouement (结局) were apt to be disappointed. Prudent parents, (40) admitting that their daughters should marry for love, took care (41) all the young men they met should be rich. This method was sometimes very successful; it was adopted, for examplem, by my maternal grandfather, who had (42) romantic daughters, none of (43) married badly. In these days of psychology the matter no (44) looks so simple as it did eighty years ago. We realize now that money may be the cause, or part of the cause, of quite genuine love; of this there are notable examples in history. Benjamin Disraeli, (45) became lord Beaconsfield, (46) in his youth, poor and struggling and passionately ambitious. He married a rich widow, much (47) than himself, and (48) by the world to be rather silly. Owing (49) her, he was able to make his career a success. A cynical world naturally assumed that he loved her money (50) than he loved her, but in this the world was mistaken; through out the whole of their married life he was deeply and genuinely devoted (51) her. I do not suppose he would have loved her if she had been poor when he first knew her, but the gratitude which he felt for help (52) he owed to her kindly interest in him easily developed into a sincere affection. A great deal of affection is based upon the fact that its object is a help in (53) the purposes of the person who feels it. Men in whom ambition is the leading passion are likely to love women (54) assist them (55) their career, and it would be very shallow psychology to suppose that the love is not real because it has its instinctive root in self-interest.

Passage Two A university graduate described as a "respectable and intelligent" woman is seeking professional help after being convicted of shoplifting for the second time in six months. Ana Luz, recently studying for her PhD, has been told she could end up behind bars unless she can control the desire to steal from shops. Luz, who lives with her partner in Fitzwilliam Road, Cambridge, admitted stealing clothes worth ￡9.95 from John Lewis in Oxford Street, London, on March 9. Phillip Lemoyne, prosecuting, said Luz selected some clothes from a display and took them to the ladies’ toilet in the store. When she came out again she was wearing one of the skirts she had selected, having taken off the anti-theft security alarms. She was stopped and caught after leaving the store without paying, Mr. Lemoyne said. He added that she was upset on her arrest and apologized for her actions. Luz, 28, was said to have been convicted of shoplifting by Cambridge judges last October, but Morag Duff, defending, said she had never been in trouble with the police before that. "She is ashamed and embarrassed but doesn’t really have any explanation why she did this," Miss Duff said. "She didn’t intend to steal when she went into the store. She is at a loss to explain it. She is otherwise a very respectable and intelligent young lady. She went to her doctor and asked for advice because she wants to know if there is anything in particular that caused her to do this." Judge David Azan fined Luz ￡50, and warned. "You’ve got a criminal record. If you carry on like this, you will end up in prison, which will ruin your bright future you may have." Luz achieved a degree in design at a university in her native Spain, went on to a famous university in Berlin, Germany for her master’s degree and is now studying for a PhD at Cambridge University, UK. From the passage we can learn that ______.
D Maybe 10 years old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father, "But, Dad, you can’t be healthy if you are dead." Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt--a mistake 75% of the US population make every day. The big question is why. There have been many myths about safety belts since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are three of the most common. Myth Number One: It’s best to be "thrown clear" of a serious accident. Truth: Sorry, but any accident serious enough to "throw you clear" is also going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing, and chances are you’ll have travelled through a windshield or door to do it. Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times greater in cases where people are "thrown clear". Myth Number Two: Safety belts "trap" people in cars that are burning or sinking in water. Truth: Sorry again, but studies show that people knocked unconscious for not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situations, not to be trapped in them. Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren’t needed at a speed of less than 30 miles per hour (mph). Truth: When two cars travelling at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force head first into the ground from a height of 10 meters. According to the text, to be "thrown clear" of a serious accident is very dangerous because you ______.
