Boris grew annoyed，then depressed，then a little hardenedStill he went on trying and still he failedHe began to think that he had no future at all. “Why dont you start your

25、 own business?” one of his uncles told him“The world is a money-locker. Youd better find a way of opening it.”“But what can I do?”“Get out and have a look round,” advised his uncle in a vague sort of way“See what people want；then give it to them，and they will pay for it.”Boris began to cycle around

26、the town and found a suitable piece of a waste ground in the end. Then he set up his business as a cycle repairerHe worked hard，made friends with his customers and gradually managed to build up his goodwill and profitA few months later, he found that he had more work than he could deal with by himse

27、lfHe found a number of empty shops but they were all no good：in the wrong position，too expensive or with some other snag(障碍). But at long last，he managed to find an empty shop on a new estate where there were plenty of customers but no competition.Boris and his assistant taught themselves how to rep

28、air scooters and motor-cyclesSlowly but surely the profits increased and the business developed. At last，Boris had managed to open the money-locker and found bank notes and gold coins inside46. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage ? A. Goodwill is the key to success B. The

29、world is a money-locker CNo education, no future D. Difficulty of starting a small business47. Which of the following best describes Boris job hunting experience? A. Surprising B. Encouraging C.

30、e ground C. repairing cycles D. buying empty shops49. Boris finally chose an empty shop on a new estate because . A. it was not so expensive B. he had a lot of old customers there C. he could make good use of his skills there D. there were good opportunities there50. We can infer from the last parag

31、raph that Boris . A. still couldnt make good profits B. set off in a successful career C. found a lot of gold coins by accident D. had great difficulty running his businessBIn America, Virginia Beach has all the elements of a classic seaside resort: brilliant beaches, a lively boardwalk, plenty of r

32、estaurants and nightspots, and amusement rides sure to appeal to kids. Many believe Virginia Beach is at its best in the off-season, when the town is less crowded but the weather is still mild. Meanwhile, some safety tips should be followed, enjoying the happiness and excitement the beach offers.The

33、 number 1 safety tip concerns ocean safety: pay attention to Flag conditions posted on the lifeguard stands. Lifeguards post a red flag to warn when the ocean water is dangerous. Take them seriously! Tourists from land-locked regions are particularly easily attracted by the magic of the waves. Howev

34、er, a calm ocean can become risky without warning. Make sure you swim near a lifeguard. Swimming without lifeguard protection is almost five times as great as drowning at a beach with lifeguards. Never swim alone. Many drownings involve single swimmers. When you swim with someone else, if one of you

35、 has a problem, the other may be able to get help, including signaling for assistance from others. Dont fight the current. The facts show that some 80% of rescues by lifeguards at ocean beaches are caused by currents. These currents are formed by surf and gravity, because once surf pushes water up t

36、he slope of a beach, gravity pulls it back. This can create concentrated rivers of water moving offshore. If you are caught in a rip current, dont fight it by trying to swim directly to shore. Instead, swim parallel to shore until you feel the current relax, then swim to shore. Most rip currents are

37、 narrow and a short swim parallel to shore will help bring you to safety.51.

Virginia Beach has all the elements of a classic seaside resort B. the happiness and excitement the beach offersC. some safety tips when swimming in the sea D. the dangers for tourists from land-locked regions to swim in the seaCFor the last couple of weeks, I ha

41、d been stuck in front of my computer working on a project that was very important to me. My every waking hour was consumed by the project and although I imagined that I would feel happy after completing parts of the project, I was confused to find that instead, I was feeling rather depressed. I trie

42、d a range of methods to help cheer myself up. I had a relaxing bath, cooked a delicious meal to enjoy with my family and even watched a lighthearted movie, but to no avail. It was only when I turned to meditation(沉思)for a solution that the answer came to me: turn to nature! The very next day, I grab

43、bed my camera and a bottle of water and set off to spend a few hours walking in a nature reserve, even though it was pouring with rain. Within a couple of minutes I felt alive again. To be honest, I felt like a young school girl again and had to stop myself from hopping along the path singing, Im si

44、nging in the rain, a song I used to sing when I was a child. I think as adults we often try too hard to control our inner children and as a result we restrain(限制) our own spirits, which only leads to depression and stress. Interestingly, it has been shown that people who spend 40 minutes walking in

45、a nature reserve have a drop in their blood pressure levels, but this does not happen when they spend a similar amount of time walking in a busy city centre. If you feel a little low in spirit and know that you have spent too much time indoors, relax completely, remove your shoes and let your inner
