37、ople go through the same difficult process that you are going through: meeting new situations, developing new skills, and testing their abilities.If you are unhappy about something, face it. Try to state the problem in a few words, so that you will know exactly what you are up against. Then see if y

38、ou can “put your finger” on the cause of your unhappiness. In many cases, we only “think” there is no solution to a particular problem. But often we can overcome the problem and achieve the goal by making a direct attack.For example, a boy wanted to be a debater (辩论家). When he tried out for the deba

39、ting team as a freshman, the coach thought he was hopeless. He was shy; he had a high-pitched voice; and his posture (体态) was poor. Although he was given little hope of success, he took advantage of every opportunity to debate. He studied successful speakers and sized up his own weaknesses and asset

40、s. Then he spent many hours learning all the facts on the topics for debate, and worked at developing good posture and at speaking clearly. By his junior year, he made the school debating team, and in his senior year he was on the winning team in his state. He achieved his goal because he had made a

41、 direct attack upon his problem.Although direct attack is often the best way to meet problems, we have to be realistic in judging situations. Sometimes it is necessary to change the tactics (策略) or the goal .A girl who has plain features may decide that she cannot win popularity with her face, and s

42、o she may try to develop an interesting personality, which eventually will get her much further. In this situation, she must change her method of achieving her goal.So, although direct attack is often the best way to handle problems, it is important to study the situation and make a wise decision ab

43、out what to do.60. What is the main idea discussed in the first paragraph? A. Giving up a puzzling problem.B. Escaping from problems by making excuses for failures. C. Going through the same difficult process. D. Testing peoples abilities.61. The phrase “are up against” in the second paragraph could

44、 best be replaced by _. A. are fond ofB. are faced with C. met withD. looked at 62. By taking example from the boy who wanted to be a debater, the author means _. A. you are going through new situations, developing new skills, and testing their abilities B. we can overcome the problem and achieve th

45、e goal by making a direct attack C. it is necessary to change either the tactics or the goal D. it is important to study the situation and make a wise decision about what to do63. Which of the following is the topic sentence of the text? A. It is not good to escape from problems by giving up or by m

46、aking excuses for failures. B. If you are unhappy about something, face it, and try to state the problem in a few words. C. Although direct attack is often the best way to meet problems, we have to be realistic in judging situations. D. Although direct attack is often the best way to handle problems

47、, it is important to study the situation and make a wise decision about what to do.CRead a whole book in English? Me?Yes, you. Believe it or not that may be easier than you think. Not all classics are too difficult or complicated. So youre not limited to simplified versions (简写本). And the easier boo

48、ks are not for young children.Books in their original versions (原著) may send you to the dictionary. And you might not understand everything you read. But reading one from cover to cover will give you a real sense of accomplishment. The key is to find the right books. Lets take a look at these.The Li

49、on, the Witch and the Wardrobe (C.S. Lewis)Stepping into an old wardrobe, four English schoolchildren find themselves in the magical world of Narnia. In this delightful land, they find friends among the many talking creatures.The children soon discover, however, that Narnia is ruled by the White Wit

50、ch. Edmund, one of the children, falls under her power. Who can free Narnia? Only Aslan, the great and noble lion. He alone knows the Deeper Magic. But the children themselves must help fight the battle against the White Witch and those who save her.The Old Man and the Sea (Ernest Hemingway)Santiago

51、, an old Cuban fisherman, hasnt caught any fish in more than 80 days. Sailing far out from land, the old man hooks an enormous fish. That begins an agonizing three-day battle.

62、s the key to ensuring that you do not continue repeating the same mistakes.

64、 strength.

66、nts, much of which of course is real, yet a large amount is just your view of what really happened.The first step in trying to minimize (最小化) the effects of your past in order to concentrate on your future is to find out how much of the past that you are certain happened was just mistakes on your pa

70、believe that greed and selfishness has become the basis of modern society, and we should return to the old traditions of family and community then we will have a better life. To what extent do you agree or disagree with the above opinion? In this fast-paced world, many values are undergoing major ch

71、anges. While people traditionally prioritize (区分) caring, sharing and generosity in life and work, modern people seem to be more self-absorbed and self-concerned. Modern people act selfishly to survive the harsh competition of life. They say that it is a jungle out there. To survive, you have to fig

72、ht with whatever means that come handy. Obviously greed and selfishness go perfectly well with such ideas. In a company, employees do everything they can to get better pay and higher position, even at the cost of colleagues. We are in any way advocating (主张) any selfish conduct. It is just that peop

73、le are pressured to act in a certain way due to outside influences. In spite of common practice, it is hard to conclude that modern society is built on greed and selfishness, both of which are not newly invented vocabulary. In ancient times people also did greedy and selfish things though such behav

74、iors were more condemned then. But we can not ignore the fact that people in the past lived a relatively more isolated life and faced less pressure compared with their modern counterparts. Are we happier to share with others and be generous to them? There is no fixed answer either. Some people take

75、great pleasure helping and giving to others while others feel happy doing the opposite. But I personally think that people should not be too selfish. Caring for others can actually encourage the development of a mutually beneficial relationship. In conclusion, modern people appear to be more self-ce

76、ntered than those in the past due to strong outside pressure. However, we should encourage people to know the importance of being caring and generous and to build a mutually beneficial relationship with others. Are Modern People Becoming More Selfish?Main comparisonsContexts 71 are changing.In the p

77、ast people put caring, sharing and generosity in the first 72 .Nowadays, people seem to be more 73 about themselves. 74 are changing too.People in the past appeared to be modest and self-effacing (谦让的).People may strive to achieve their own 75 at the cost of their coworkers.The authors understanding

Some

82、students think that listening test should not be canceled. They insist listening is among the four basic skills. We therefore can not ignore it. Besides, listening is one of the important channels for us to get information from the outside world. So it should be strengthened today when international

83、 cooperation is becoming more and more frequent. But others dont agree. They think not everyone has to communicate with foreigners in the future.
