Questions 24to 27are based on the following passage.
I have heard of the story of the world famous opera singer Tina Kiberg. As a child, Tina was a violinist and spent her free time practicing and practicing. One day she participated in a violin contest and realized that she would never be more than an ordinary violinist and that she enjoyed singing more. She gave up the violin, took up singing and became a leading international opera singer. Her courage to give up is what allowed her to become a world famous opera singer. Now try to guess what these somewhat successful people have in common-Larry Page,Tiger Woods,John McEnroe and John Steinbeck. Yes, they all dropped out of Stanford. Look at many other successful people and I bet their past is also filled with things they did at one time and then gave up. There are a number of cognitive(认知的processes that make it hard for us to leave our present situation and move ) on to something new—evenwhen we feel miserable with the present situation. We think “I’veinvested so much in this already. If I quit,all will have been wasted. M Once we have something,we hate to lose it. Things we don’thave yet don’tcarry the same value. These cognitive thoughts might help explain why people stay stuck in bad jobs, bad marriages, unhappy friendship,etc.
To sum up, sometimes you’vegot to stick with somethings even through tough times but sometimes you have to have the courage to give up. You have to be open to the fact that sometimes giving up is the right way forward.

A.She used to be a violin player
B.Her talent in violin was ignored
C.She was forced to give up the violin

What is the author’scomment on “givingup”according to the passage？ A.It carries little value
B.It leads to hard times

What do we know about many successful people from Para.2？
A.They felt miserable in universities
B.They were faced with many failures
C.They usually have nothing in common
D.They know well when to give something up
Why are people unwilling to give up according to Para 3？ A.Because they have wasted too much

M: Oh, hardly, but we had a good time just the same. We managed to stop at the old Ghost Town near Virginia City. That's what Jimmy was all excited about.
W: Did you go to Denver like your wife wanted to？
M: Yes, we stayed with her cousin for two days. We had to pass up the Grand Canyon though, because Jimmy got sick from eating too many grapes.
W: How about the stop at Indian Falls？ Did you have any time for that？
M: Yes, but we almost didn't. We left Denver on Highway 14 when we should have taken Highway 90. When we realized it, it was almost dark. Still we got there in time to take a few pictures.
W: Where else did you go？
M: Well, we went through Phoenix, Arizona. We all liked that. But we had some trouble with the car there. We had to stay an extra day because of that.
W: I bet that made you mad.
M: It sure did, especially because I had the guy at the garage give the car a checkup just before we left home, and he said the car was in excellent condition. Still I can't complain. I was able to get in some extra fishing because of the delay. I went out with the man who was staying in the hotel we were at.
W: Generally, you did quite a lot.
M: Yes, we certainly did. But after we got home, it took us two days to rest up. All that driving around was murder.

After limping for some distance in an indirect course away from his parachute he began to make his way downhill through the trees. He had to find out where he was, and then decide what to do next. But walking downhill on a rapidly swelling ankle soon proved to be almost beyond his powers. He moved more and more slowly, walking in long sideway movements across the slope, which meant taking more steps but less painful ones. By the time he cleared the trees and reached the valley, day was breaking. Mist hung in soft sheets across the fields. Small cottages and farm buildings grouped like sleeping cattle around a village church, whose pointed tower pointed high into the cold winter air to welcome the morning.
"I can't go much farther," John Harding thought. "Someone is bound to find me, but what can I do？ I must get a rest before I go on. They'll look for me first up there on the mountain where the plane crashed. I bet they' re out looking for it already and they are bound to find the parachute in the end. I can' t believe they won't. So they'll know I' m not dead and must be somewhere. They'll
think I'm hiding up there in the trees and rocks so they'll look for me there. So I'll go down to the village. With luck by the evening my foot will be good enough to get me to the border."
Far above him on the mountainside he could hear the faint echo of voices, startling him after the great silence. Looking up he saw lights like little pinpoints moving across the face of the mountain in the gray light. But the road was deserted, and he struggled along, still almost invisible in the first light, easing his aching foot whenever he could, avoiding stones and rough places, and limping quietly and painfully towards the village. He reached the church at last. A great need for peace almost drew him inside, but he knew that would not do. Instead, he limped along its walls towards a very old building standing a short distance from the church doors. It seemed to have been there forever, as if it had grown out of the hill inside. It had the same air of timelessness as the church. John Harding pushed open the heavy wooden door and slipped inside.
It was really hard for John to hide the parachute because ______.
A．he had sprained his ankle
B．the parachute was very heavy
C．it was pitch-dark there and the ground was hard
D．there were less pine needles on the ground
In the end，the banker considers his bet with the lawyer______.
A．rational
