Sarah left school at eighteen, went to college and then worked at a computer company. Four years later, she got a new job as a manager in British Airways（英国航空公司）. This is what she told us about her job:

\（空姐）and help them with any problems. I also go to lots of meetings. My hours are usually from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. but sometimes I work from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. At work, the first thing I do is to check plane times on my computer and then I speak with some of the air-hostesses.

Sometimes I go on long flights to check how the air-hostesses are doing. That's my favourite part of the job, but I like office work, too. Travelling can be hard work. When I get back from a long trip, all I can do is to eat something and then go to bed! I don't make much money, but I'm happy with British Airways and want to stay there and continue to travel.\( )45. Sarah's first job was________.

Once, a king had a great highway built for his people. Just before it was opened to the public, the king decided to have a contest(竞赛). He invited his people to take part in the contest. Their challenge was to see who could travel the highway the best.

On the day of the contest, some people came to the highway in fine clothing; some had

fancy hairstyles or brought great food. Some young men came in their sports clothes and ran along the highway. People raveled(使错综复杂) the highway all day. But each one, when he or she completed the trip, complained(抱怨) to the king that there was a large pile of stones in the way that had blocked his or her travels.

At the end of the day, a lonely traveler crossed the finishing line and walked over to the king. He was tired and dirty, but he showed the king great respect and handed him a bag of gold. He explained: \of gold was under it all. I want you to return it to its rightful owner.\

The king replied: \are the rightful owner. You've earned(赚) this gold, for you won my contest.\

The man won the contest just because he was the only one who stopped to make the road smoother(平整). Sometimes, the greatest prize comes not from helping yourself, but from helping others.

( )48. What did the man do during the contest?

A. He complained as the other people had. B. He gave up before he got to the stones. C. He cleared the pile of stones. D. He blocked the road with stones. ( )49.

Matt Mason has seen the future and it's fun. Mason likes thinking about how machines can make our lives easier by doing the work we hate, such as cleaning. He shows a hard floor cleaning system that's built into the wall: it will blow dirt to a part of the room where it will be collected by a vacuum（吸尘器）. Then the system will drop some cleaner on the floor and an arm will mop it up. \to come on at 3 a. m., and it will just wet-mop the floor for you.\

When it comes to the kitchen, Bruce Beihoff, another expert at Whirlpool, is sure that in a few years, robots will be doing most of the boring work, freeing us to relax. \future kitchens will be environmentally friendly,\he says. \new system will be built in the house which can recycle (回收利用) energy lost from your kitchen to make the whole home warm.\

\have a touch screen where you can watch TV, surf the Internet, check your e-mail, keep a shopping list and order vegetables. \last place at night,\

Ever wonder why a 1.9-meter man and a 1.6-meter woman have to cook meals on counters（工作台）of the same height. \height was decided over 50 years ago, according to the height of ordinary women,\changed. We have made a new counter where you press a button and it moves to whatever height you want.\At the same time, Ted Selker at MIT's Counter lab has made the Dishmaker which lets you make dishes and bowls out of plastics at home. After each meal, the dishes are changed straight back into plastics.

“All right then — just one more piece...” Words every girl has said when they are faced with the delicious cheesecake. Of course, many of us know we may eat the whole thing in the end.

It isn’t just girls. Most of us find it hard to say “no” to something attractive. However, scientists now say that willpower is very important to success and a happy life.

Scientists in different countries have been studying the effects of willpower on people’s lives for a long time. The results are similar, according to an article on February 7 in the Guardian, a famous British newspaper.

In one experiment, scientists told young children that they could either have a marshmallow (圆形软糖) now, or two marshmallows in 15 minutes. Waiting obviously needed more willpower. Scientists then continued studying the children as they grew up. They wanted to see if some children always had stronger willpower. They also wanted to see how having stronger willpower affected their lives.

Years later, scientists found that the children who had waited for two marshmallows were all healthier, happier and richer adults. Oppositely, the children who had shown weaker willpower at that young age were more likely to be in low-paid jobs, to be overweight, to have social problems.

But there is hope, Roy F Baumeister, an American social psychology(心理学) professor (教授) told the Guardian. Baumeister says we can train our willpower just like we train our muscles（肌肉）. Even a little practice can strengthen（加强） our overall self-control if we do it regularly.

You could start by making yourself stand up straight, speaking in complete sentences, or using a computer mouse with the other hand. Scientists have found that people who manage to change little habits often perform much better in laboratory willpower tests.

Like muscles, willpower can “get tired”. Don’t try to do too many things at the same time, or when you don’t have enough energy, for example when you are ill. If you already feel tired, you can try to recharge(恢复) your willpower with a good night’s sleep and by eating well. ( )54.The example of a girl eating cheesecake is used to

A. prove that girls have weak willpower

B. introduce the topic of willpower to the readers C. show that cheesecake is especially attractive to girls D. show the connection between willpower and success

( )55. What can we infer from the experiment?

A. The scientists had already known the results before the experiment.

B. It showed that willpower is the most important to success and a happy life.

C. The children who chose to wait were more likely to be successful in their lives. D. The children who chose only one marshmallow at first had stronger willpower.

( )56 Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the training of willpower?

A. You should have a goal every day. B. Good rest and proper diet can help.

C. Willpower needs to be exercised regularly. D. Keep willpower from being used too much.

( )57.What is the article mainly about?

A. How willpower and muscles are similar and how they can be trained. B. How willpower affects people’s lives and how it is similar to muscles. C. How willpower is important to success and how we can make it stronger. D. How willpower is connected with success and how they affect each other

四、任务型阅读 （请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰

当的单词。注意：每空格1个单词。共5分）

Mistakes are great teachers. Success comes to those who are willing to risk making

mistakes to achieve their goals and wishes, and who are able to learn from those mistakes. And in order to learn from mistakes you must be willing to pay for them.

Mistakes can be very valuable, but when you try to get others to pay for your mistakes, then you lose the chance to learn from them. When something goes wrong, it’s usually very easy to

find someone else’s mistakes, but is that useful?

Much of the value of mistakes comes from the fact that they need a cost that must be paid. The person who learns the most from a mistake is the one who pays the price for that mistake. When you make a mistake, what you shouldn’t do is run away from it. You need to accept it because you can learn a lot from it. The mistake has been made, so make the most of it. Pay the price, learn the lesson, and grow that much stronger. When you make a mistake, don’t look back at it long. Remember the reason for it, and then look forward. Mistakes are lessons of wisdom. The past cannot be changed. The present is still in your power. Make full use of your mistakes to achieve your goals and wishes.Mistakes are great teachers Who can (1)___ Success comes to those not only achieve their goals and wishes at the (2)_____ of making mistakes, (3)_____ learn from and pay for them.
