Sometimes your biggest weakness can become your biggest strength. Take, for example, the story of one ten-year-old boy who decided to study judo[柔道] despite the fact that he had lost his left arm in a car accident.

The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo instructor. He was doing well. So he couldn't understand why, after three months of training, the instructor had taught him only one move.

\

\the instructor replied.

Not quite understanding, but believing in his teacher, the boy kept training.

Several months later, the instructor took the boy to his first tournament. Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, his opponent became impatient and charged. The boy deftly[巧妙的] used his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in the finals.

This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger and more experienced. For a while, the boy appeared to be defeated. Concerned that the boy might get hurt, the referee called a time-out. He was about to stop the match when the instructor intervened(干涉）.

\Soon after the match resumed, his opponent made a critical mistake: He dropped his guard. Instantly, the boy won the match and the tournament. He was the champion.

On the way home, the boy and his teacher reviewed every move in each and every match. Then the boy gathered the courage to ask what was really on his mind.

\

\of the most difficult throws in all of judo. Second, the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to grab your left arm.\boy's biggest weakness had become his biggest strength.

24．According to the second paragraph the boy was ______ with his teacher.

A. unsatisfied. B. angry. C. pleased. D. .careful

25．Why did the referee call a timeout in the finals?

A. the reason why the boy won every match. B. the instructor was very excellent. C. who was the champion. D. the boy was very courageous. 27．What is the best title of the passage?

A. No Pains, No Gains. B. A Great Judo Master.

C. Weakness Can Become Strength D. Where There Is a Will, There Is a Way

C

Every day life is made and lost. Every day, life goes on. Every day we experience some of the most important parts of life and may not even realize it: love, generosity, and perseverance. These values aren't just important to us; they make the world what it is.

Scientists say that gravitational (重力的) force makes the world turn, but some people say that love makes it go round. Love can be found anywhere: in families, friends, and even complete strangers. Even if you can't see it, you know it's there. Never complain that you can’t find love in the world. Only a person who loves the world from the heart can feel to be loved.

Love may connect people all over the world, but what would the world be without generosity? Whether after a national disaster, or a school fund-raiser, one thing is certain-- it is better to give than to receive. Generosity is found everywhere and whether it's a large or small act, it makes a difference. Most of all, being generous is not something you need any qualifications for, but no matter what you do, it can make a difference. Sometimes, though, it takes effort to be generous, which leads us to perseverance.

Founding a country, riding a bike, or finishing an essay, these are all finished with perseverance. Perseverance is the one thing that can help us achieve whatever we want. It is what helps scientists to discover cures for diseases, and athletes to become champions. You may fail, but every time you make a mistake, that's one less to make the next time.

There is an infinite (无穷的) number of things we value, but without love, generosity and perseverance, we just don't think that our life or the world would be the way it is. 28．The writer compares love to_______.

A. the world B. warm sunshine C. warm heart D. the gravity 29．According to the writer, generosity means that we need to______.

A. be confident about the efforts we’re taking. B. raise money for school children

C. be a giver rather than a taker D. take big actions to collect money

30．We find the passage conveys a(n) _____ attitude to us when we read between the lines.

A. negative B. worried C. indifferent D. positive

31．Which of the following shows how the passage develops?

4

D

Many people think that listening is a passive business. It is just the opposite. Listening well is an active exercise of our attention and hard work. It is because they do not realize this, or because they are not willing to do the work, that most people do not listen well.

Listening well also requires total concentration upon someone else. An essential part of listening well is the rule known as ‘bracketing’. Bracketing includes the temporary giving up or setting aside of your own prejudices and desires, to experience as far as possible someone else’s world from the inside, stepping into his or her shoes. Moreover, since listening well involves bracketing, it also involves a temporary acceptance of the other person. Sensing this acceptance, the speaker will seem quite willing to open up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener. True communication is under way and the energy required for listening well is so great that it can be accomplished only by the will to extend oneself for mutual （彼此的）growth.

Most of the time we lack this energy. Even though we may feel in our business dealings or social relationships that we are listening well, what we are usually doing is listening selectively. Often we have a prepared list in mind and wonder, as we listen, how we can achieve certain desired results to get the conversation over as quickly as possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us. Many of us are far more interested in talking than in listening, or we simply refuse to listen to what we don’t want to hear.

It wasn’t until toward the end of my doctor career that I have found the knowledge that one is being truly listened to is frequently therapeutic(有疗效的) .In about a quarter of the patients I saw, surprising improvement was shown during the first few months of psychotherapy(心理疗法), before any of the roots of problems had been uncovered or explained. There are several reasons for this phenomenon, but chief among them, I believe, was the patient’s sense that he or she was being truly listened to, often for the first time in years, and for some, perhaps for the first time ever.

32．What does the underlined phrase probably mean in Paragraph 2?

A. Accepting other persons

B. Setting aside others’ desires

C. Put oneself into his or her position and be considerate D. Focusing on the topic they are talking

33．Which of the following is CORRECT after reading the passage?

A. Many people are more interested in thinking than in talking. B. We tend to listen with purpose in communication C. Satisfying others is essential in talking..

D. Listening can’t be accomplished by the mutual growing will. 34．After reading the passage we may likely guess it is ______.

A. a medical report B. a scientific research C. public science D. a literature report

35．We can learn from the last paragraph that the patients _______.

A. became worse after being talked to B. were to make sense of their value C. knew the reason for their illness D. picked up because of being truly listened to

one possible version：

The topic of my speech today is about mobile phone. Nowadays no matter where we are，we can see many adults and children playing with their mobile phones. This can happen at a bus stop，in a restaurant or at a supermarket. Why is that?

There are two reasons accounting for it .The first reason is supposed to be that people are trying to make good use of time. And the second one may be that people show little interest in what's happening around them. However，focusing only on what's on our mobile phones may not only do harm to our eyesight，but also prevent us from communicating normally. Therefore，some other ways to kill time are strongly suggested. For me，chatting with others is a good replacement of playing with mobile phones.
