Reading Comprehension

Directions:There are two passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices. Click on the best choice. (20 points)

Passage One

Do you ever look around your life and think, "This isn't the life I wanted. How did I get here This is not what I envisioned!"

Well, you certainly aren't alone in that thought. In fact, my clients so often share this thought with me that I have given it its own name. I call this "Being Caught in the Expectation Gap." The "expectation gap" is the gap between living the life you think you are creating and living the life you are actually creating. Dissatisfaction, frustration and disillusionment are experienced most prevalently when you expect one thing to happen and something else entirely shows up.

The truth is that you are always creating. You are the sole creator and attractor of all experiences in your life. Now, don't get me wrong. I don't believe you fall into the "expectation gap" when you are creating using all your tools and resources. Quite the contrary. You fall into the "expectation gap" when you are only aware of what your conscious mind is desiring and you are ignoring the other 88% of your mind — your subconscious mind, where all the other amazing parts of you live with a multitude of desires.

Every person, you included, has multiple parts that make up the whole of who you are. These parts of you live in your subconscious mind. They are the various aspects of your personality that make you the rich and complex human being that you are. Each part of you has one primary function — an intention as it were — something it wishes to provide you or ensure for you. And every intention, at its core, is always good and chosen with your best interest at heart. Now, the way these various parts ensure their intentions are being met is through the use of behaviors. The behaviors that you display are actually driven by these various parts of you happily fulfilling their intentions for you.

Simply becoming aware of the whole you and uncovering those conflicting intentions will have a huge impact on the manifestation of your desires. When you have a clean slate to create from, the tools for creating come much easier and provide amazing success. I encourage you to begin the journey. The rewards are nothing short of living your dream life!

Passage Two

Almost everyone has memories of a person who has had an impact on their life. Their words in that moment altered something deep inside of you and changed who you are. The person who influenced you could have been the parent of a friend, someone you saw on a regular basis at the grocery store, a neighbor or a beloved teacher. It could be something as simple as a conversation or how they conducted themselves in the world.

We all can have such an influence on others. Whether you believe it or not, your actions, attitude and how you conduct your life does get noticed and has an influence on others. Think

of how you conduct yourself in your profession, at school or even while just out shopping. How we conduct our life teaches people and influences them. That's a pretty heavy thought. If you wake up each morning knowing that today you will teach someone, that can absolutely have an impact on your attitude and how you feel about yourself and the world.

As we go through the day, we can try to be open to lessons to be learned from difficult people and situations. Every time someone's remarks challenge us, it's an opportunity to look inside and see what sensitive nerve was hit. Being human and preferring to be liked, it's natural to want teachers who are considerate of our feelings. Consider this, however. When things are always lovely and sweet, what do you learn from them Blunt or even unkind remarks could be what we need to spur a change. The important thing is to keep an open mind. Even things said that are obviously out of jealousy could contain a grain of truth. That grain of truth could be something to think upon in spite of someone else's perception. Study the words to see if there might be something to it. If not, then let it go.

So, what lessons do you think you have learned from someone else I don't know about others, but I have learned life lessons from books and powerful television shows. The most powerful lessons I've learned have been from people I know. I have a friend who could be considered severely handicapped. To me, she is the most positive person I've ever met in my life. Her attitude in the face of horrendous adversity is something I have tried to emulate.

26. Which of the following CANNOT exert an influence on other people

A. A person's behaviors.

B. A person's attitudes towards life.

C. A person's life lesson.

D. A person's actions.

27. What should be the right understanding of difficult people and unkind statements

A. These are challenges to be met.

B. These are out of jealousy.

C. These are other people's perception.

D. These are opportunities for us to improve ourselves.

28. What method should be adopted to face difficult people or unkind statements

A. To ignore them.

B. To be open to them.

C. To be sensitive to them.

D. To be considerate.

29. What can be inferred from the passage

A. We can learn a lot from kind remarks and favorable situations.

B. If other people's remarks are mainly out of jealousy, we can pay little attention to them.

C. Keeping an open mind is necessary if you want to learn your life lesson.
