volunteer teachers who joined in this 36 .

One day, I entered Don na’s classroom, took a seat in the back of the room and 37 . All the students were working 38 a task. The student next to me was filling her page with “I Can’ts.” “I can’t kick the soccer ball.” “I can’t get Debbie to like me.” Her page was half full and she showed no 39 of stopping. I walked down the row and found 40 was writing sentences, describing things they couldn’t do.

By this time the activity aroused my 41 , so I decided to check with the teacher to see what was going on 42 I noticed she too was busy writing. “I can’t get John’s mother to come for a parents’ meeting.” … I felt it best not to 43 .

After another ten minutes, the students were 44 to fold the papers in half and bring them to the front. They placed their “I Can’t” statements into an empty shoe box. Then Donna 45 hers. She put the lid on the box, tucked it under her arm and headed out the door. Students followed the teacher. I followed the students.

She turned the students 52 and marched them back into the classroom. They celebrated the 53 of “I Can’t”. Donna cut a large tombstone from paper.

Grammy nominated artist and globally admired DJ and Producer Paul van Dyk continues to lead the electronic music charts and appears at the highpoint of every Top DJ list across the globe. PvD, as his fans have nicknamed him, is currently ranked the World’s No. 1 DJ by DJ Magazine’s “Top 100 DJs poll” for the second successive year.

PvD is well-known as one of the hardest working artists, with sold-out tours that cross each continent, headline spots at every major festival, and a hugely successful recording career. With over 3 million albums sold worldwide, van Dyk travels around the world over 16 times each year to sold out performances internationally.

Born in Eisenhuettenstadt, East Germany, Paul van Dyk grew up in East Berlin. Because his community did not have a true club culture, Paul van Dyk listened to the radio where he discovered his passion for music that extended beyond Techno music—he wanted to create a different, more unique sound. In the early 1990’s Paul van Dyk was performing regularly at various clubs in Berlin before releasing his first album 45 RPM in 1994. But it was the release of his second album Seven Ways that put him into Top 100, followed by the release of his hit single “For An Angel,” which began to earn him praise across the globe. By the time Paul van Dyk released Out There & Back in , it became clear that the Berlin-based musician had far more to

Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t love others until you love yourself. Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either way, you’ve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that we’re the apple of our parents’eyes, and that our Grandmas think we’re great talents and our Uncle Roberts think that we will go to the Olympics. But sometimes it’s a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time you build a positive self-image and learn to love yourself.

Self-image is your own mind’s picture of yourself. This image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about us. Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be. Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world.

The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. Don’t allow doubts to occur in it.

It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can’t move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task. If you think you’re silly because you aren’t good at math, find a tutor. If you think you’re weak because you can’t run a mile, get to the track and practice. If you

第7页共16页

think you’re dull because you don’t wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes. But remember, just because you think it doesn’t mean it’s true.

The best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your image is far from objective, and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. Changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. When you can pat yourself on the back, you’ll know you’re well on your way. Good luck!

60.You need to build a positive self-image when you _________.

A. dare to challenge yourself

B. feel it hard to change yourself

C. are unconfident about yourself

D. have a high opinion of yourself

61.According to the passage, our self-images _________.

A. have positive effects

B. are probably untrue

C. are often changeable

D. have different functions

62.How should you change your self-image according to the passage?

A. To keep a different image of others.

B. To make your life successful.

C. To understand your own world.

D. To change the way you think.

63.Who are the intended readers of the passage?

A. Parents.

B. Adolescents.

C. Educators.

D. People in general.

Andrew Ritchie, inventor of the Brompton folding bicycle, once said that the perfect portable bike would be “like a magic carpet…You could fold it up and put it into your pocket or handbag”. Then he paused: “But you’ll always be limited by the size of the wheels. And so far no one has invented a folding wheel.”

It was a rare —indeed unique —occasion when I was able to put Ritchie right. A 19th-century inventor, William Henry James Grout, did in fact design a folding wheel. His bike, predictably named the Grout Portable, had a frame that split into two and a larger wheel that could be separated into four pieces. All the bits fitted into Grout’s Wonderful Bag, a leather case.

Grout’s aim: to solve the problems of carrying a bike on a train. Now doesn’t that sound familiar? Grout intended to find a way of making a bike small enough for train travel: his bike was a huge beast. And importantly, the design of early bicycles gave him an advantage: in Grout’s day, tyres were solid, which made the business of splitting a wheel into four separate parts relatively simple. You couldn’t do the same with a wheel fitted with a one-piece inflated (充气的) tyre.

So, in a 21st-century context, is the idea of the folding wheel dead? It is not. A British design engineer, Duncan Fitzsimons, has developed a wheel that can be squashed into something like a slender ellipse (椭圆). Throughout, the tyre remains inflated.

Will the young Fitzsimons’s folding wheel make it into production? I haven’t the foggiest

idea. But his inventiveness shows two things. First, people have been saying for more than a century that bike design has reached its limit, except for gradual advances. It’s as silly a concept now as it was 100 years ago: there’s plenty still to go for. Second, it is in the field of folding bikes that we are seeing the most interesting inventions. You can buy a folding bike for less than £1,000 that can be knocked down so small that it can be carried on a plane — minus wheels, of course —as hand baggage.

Folding wheels would make all manner of things possible. Have we yet got the magic carpet of Andrew Ritchie’s imagination? No. But it’s progress.

64.We can infer from Paragraph 1 that the Brompton folding bike .

A. was portable

B. had a folding wheel

C. could be put in a pocket

D. looked like a magic carpet

65.We can learn from the text that Fitzsimons’s invention .

A. left little room for improvement

B. was made into production soon

C. kept the tyre as a whole piece

D. changed our views on bag design

66.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A. Three folding bike inventors.

B. The making of a folding bike.

C. Progress in folding bike design.

D. Ways of separating a bike wheel.

Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

——Ralph Waldo Emerson Being enthusiastic about something means being excited about a given project. Enthusiasm entails having a strong interest in the task at hand. If you decided to learn a new language, which is not easy by any account, you would have to devote yourself to the cause. Anything less would result in failure.

In your quest for success, enthusiasm means that you believe deeply in what the company is doing. You also believe that your job is important and contributes to the cause. It means that you’re willing hard to achieve the company’s goals. Real enthusias m is when you get up from the bed in the morning and begin your day with passion. You have passion for the work you do and the people you work with. This pushes you to improve and become a better person.

Enthusiasm means that you are stimulated by your work, and are able to find new challenges and keep growing professionally. Furthermore, most jobs have some elements that are less fun and more difficult to carry out. This is where passion really comes into play.

Passion helps you get ahead. Enthusiasm about a job or project usually translates into positive energy. That is, if you are excited about a project, you will be anxious to get started and get results. The mere fact of looking forward to your work will help make you more productive and effective. You will plan more effectively and pay careful attention to details. You will carry

第9页共16页

out your plan more carefully and aim for the best results possible.

Being fervent about your work shows a willingness to do more and learn. This will definitely help you stand out from the crowd and get top management’s attention.

Increase your enthusiasm. Most men aren’t born great –they become great. Similarly, not everyone is the enthusiastic type that falls in love with their work. However, do not despair. There are ways to become more passionate.

67.The second paragraph mainly talks about .

A. what is real enthusiasm

B. how to be enthusiastic

C. why we need enthusiasm

D. enthusiasm helps you become a better person

68.The underlined word “fervent” in the sixth paragraph can be best replaced by .

A. curious

B. considerate

C. worried

D. sincere

69.We can infer from the passage that if you are enthusiastic you will NOT.

A. show strong interests in the task you’re doing

B. throw doubt upon the work you’re doing

C. be responsible for your job and always go all out for it

D. have passion for the work you do and the people you work with

70.If this article is to be continued, next paragraph will probably talk about .

A. ways to increase your enthusiasm

B. enthusiastic people who succeed in their careers

C. whether it is necessary for you to be enthusiastic

D. the disadvantages of being enthusiastic

VI.Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information from the passage.

Write NO MORE THAN ONE WORD for each answer.

Please write down the answers in the square at the end of the diagram.

Rest is critical to life and work and a positive attitude towards rest needs to be maintained, for enough rest is significant to our body and mind while a lack of adequate rest, as well as misleading attitudes to rest, will do great harm to our health.

Rest is vital to our ability to function at our best. Recent news stories report that scientists are learning surprising things about the importance of sleep. There is enough evidence suggesting that rest will refresh us, enabling our body and mind to work efficiently. Besides, rest is important for more than that; it is helpful in setting appropriate goals and deciding what goals to attain first. Those who are caught up in extremely busy lives lack the time to think about what they are doing and to make objective decisions, which blocks the maximization of their potential.

第10页共16页

On the contrary, lack of adequate rest damages brain function, so much so that sleep experts have been able to measure drops in IQ in patients who are short of sleep. Other studies have presented a negative effect on body movements in sleep-wanting subjects. It should not, therefore, be a surprise that the California Highway Patrol has stated that sleep-wanting drivers are as great a threat to road safety as are drunk drivers.

However, rest is widely misunderstood by some people. Instead of sleep, they go to pubs and clubs and claim that this kind of entertaining is rest. For example, what they call social drinking or having a smoke with friends. Nowadays, the economy forces people to drink and gamble for the sake of the circles one moves in. This is what fools claim thoughtlessly th at it’s restful. The truth is that rest means not using our labor both physically and mentally, even spiritually.

We need to rest correctly and sufficiently; otherwise, tiredness and illness will occur. Without sufficient rest, good work is impossible. Rest is critical; it is not an end in itself.
